The Macon Telegraph seems to have closed out it r s stock of State politics. Well, that’s right brother Lamar, if you can’t stand up to the nominee of the convention, talk about the Egyptian war. The Macon Telegraph, in speaking of our declaration for Hon. Geo. T. Barnes for Senator, wishes to know if his county would not prefer to “vindi cate somebody. We can’t answer tnat question, we know that the papers say that Joe Brown has ordered Colquitt’s election, which, if it should be accomp lisbed, will prove the truth of the old saying, ‘‘there’s 1 ut. a step from the sublime to the ridiculous”—that is from Hill to Colquitt. In an interview in Washington, on the 3d inst., Mr. Stephens ’informed a correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu tion that he would come directly home, attend to his private business, and then canva‘8 as much rf, the State as possible before the election. Wc hope that Waynesboro will be among his earliest appointments, and suggest that our leaders invite him to come down and make ono of his old-fashioned Demo cratic speeches. Congress has adjourned at hist, after one of the most barren and tedious sess ions in the history of the country. Con gress lias-done nothing during the whole ®e si n but squander th6 public money and schetne -for the success • f party. Now that it has adjourned, the whole country will * reatlie easier. We have before said, mid wc believe it to be true, that if the masses of the people of the whole corn-try,could know the full ex tent of tho corruptions perpetrated by the National Legislature, they would rise en masse and throw the c'pitol in’o the Potomac river. Gen. Gartrell was la tweek endorsed We often see our items traveling with out any credit to show from whenee they came. But when we see our par agraphs copied by a journal as careful as we have usually thought the Atlanta Constitution to be, and credit delibe rately given to another, the case be comes too bad. Now, brethren, it is only fair that you should “give un’o Caesar tho things which are Caesar’s'” Colonel Buck, Chairman of the new State Central Committee of the I epub- lican party, received a semi-official dis patch th't the National Committee would recognize the State House wing of the Convention as the regular conati- tuted Convention. The Central Com mittee has been organized as fol’ows : E. A. Buck, Chairman; Pledger, Vice- Chairman ; C’o'nnel Bryant, Secretary ; and H. A. Ruck* r, A sistant Secretary. Thus has the miserable white rene gades received another and well deserv ed rebuff. A Northern man may b“ a Republican from principe, but when we see a Southern man playing Radical, we cannot help believing that it is onlv for office, hut he is a hypocrite all the same. Guiteau’s miserable bigot wbo occupies the Presidential ch.d , is said to be very angry for the passage of the River and Harbor bill 'WT his veto. Of course, the anitnous »>f Arthur’s opposition to the bill was on account of the appropriations made for Southern rivr-, etc. A dis patch from Waehingt n, dated the 7th inst., says : » It is rumored that the President has been advised by one of the great est constitutional lawyers of the coun try to exhaust every resource and a.-certain what rights the executive has t ward arresting the expenditures called for in the River md Harbor bill. This advice insists that the Decanter’s War Cry.

By some it is called the “yard beau,” and by others the ‘‘yard pea ” It has every appearance of the oouiinon field pea, except that it is in every feature larger, and the pod, as the H' rald Buys, is of “enormous length.’’ We have no doubt that we m w have pods in our garden which would measure 35 inches in length, and Me believe that under favorable circum-tanoes it might bo made to attain a leg'll ot 48 or 50 inches.

It is also alleged th' t many member* recorded in the minority re>l y desired their vote to be over-passed and p-ir<>d themselves with but one of the majority in order to connive at the success of the ma jority. The President, therefore, has been advised to arrest the appropria tion*. high officer of Congress who kept one or two clerks the year round to get political information for himself.

After a while a man came driving by, and she begged him to take herself and her husband to t wn. He refused, saying he was in a hurry. Thereup n Mrs. Guizk w snatched up her husband’s overcoat, pulled out a revolver, seized the man’s horse by the bit, leveled the shooting iron at him, and threatened to put him out of the necessity of ever keeping an other engagement if he did not comply with her request, he saw dead earnest in her eye, weakc ei and took husband and wife to Redwood City, And now Mrs. Cutzkow’s repu’ation as a hero ine is firmly established on the Pacific coast. Flowhrv Branch. Ga., August 3.—A fight which ha just taken place between Jonah Cruise and M^ses able manner ried to a girl whose family were opposed to the match. Porter, who had been waiting on the girl, and knowing the feelings of the parents, took advantage of the situation and married the girl himself. To get the marriage license he borrowed money of Cruise, pretending to want it for another purpose, and would return it at a certain time, which he failed 1o do. Cruise laid claim to Porter’s wife, using the argument that he furnished the money to buy the license, and that she had been his sweetheart and they were to be married the day after she and Porter mar- ried. At present it seems that Cruise is likely to win, as he has Porter’s wife, who seems to be hafpy with him. thrown off his fee into the boiling water which stood ready to receive him from behind.

The match was for|500 a side and the championship of the world. Harry Hill was chosen referee.

At the end of that time Acton again threw Bibbv amid cheers, and wns declared the winner. Shortly after tho opening of the Mechanics’ National Bank, No. 83, Wall street. New York, a few days ago, a sharp explosion was heard is one of the vaults. Investigation developed the fact that during (.he night gas had escaped from an unstopped burner, and when the clerk, whose du;y it was to open the vaults, entered, the lighted candle which he enrriod caused the ex plosion. The clerk was thrown flat on his back, and boxes, etc., were scattered in a lively man ner, one box being broken by the fall, and a $1,000 bill burned. The affair created some ex citement for the time being.

Consequently they report a heavy loss every day since the law has been enforced, as the dfciallest coin is a nickel. The roads are arranging for a supply of one cent pieces.
