The Athens Georgian sayE: At the recent session of tho Jackson Court, His Honor Judge Bice, in the case of Donahou th. Kidd—for decoying labor in his charge, said that when a negro worked for a part of the crop, ho had a perfect right to leavo at any time, and work when he pleased; that ho was a partner, and not an employee—henco he had a right to quit work whi g he wanted to. *n l g" the sumo as the dur lor whom ■ he Tfurrt.h In a simflsr Pane Wit "Kpring, that of Mrs. Wells vs. Holliday, His . .. ■ i Honor thought differently, and fined irlisuy pn-sanrs; and it eiplu.iu HoUidi4T add cost for the same offence for which ho acquitted Kidd. We think a man 1ms just a much .right to demand iff of a negro’s time when he works for a part of the crop os when he works for wages—there a no difference. We think so, too, Judge Bice to the contrary notwithstanding. There is great uncosiipMs in certain circles up about Athens. A lump of sul phur baa been found near that place, and aomo think old “split hoof” had a hand in putting It there. Four wagons loaded with com in the ear, caused a total suspension ot business at Athens last week. Mb. Jar.

The information w» gihen by a gentleman who keeps his 'horses at that stable, and who is well acqnainted with the people in that loealify. It appears that tlui negro's name is Monroe Smith, and upon the officer visiting tho stable where ho was at work yesterday morning, hr found him in an apisavntly ilertitute condition as far as clothing is concerned, evincinv unmistakable evidenoe of having been in the wools forsome time. In answer to Sheriff Honan’s questions he acknowl edged that his name was Monroe Smith : that ho was acquaint'd with the parties accused of tho murder of young John- sons that ho enmo to this city some time ago with an excursion party, and that when he left SmithviUe it w.os not with any intention of returning there, lie said that he had been employed at tho stables (Goodwin’s) only two days. Til answer to tho question, “ Do you know of anything happening to Mr. Johnson lately?" he replied. “ I know of some- thing happening to him some timoago.” “ What was it?” “ He was killed.” Sher iff Roman immediately told t’tS negro he want'd him to go along with him. and while walking along towards the Court house the nogro asked where he was go- ing. Tho sheriff told him “ down town a littln way.” Arriving at tho sheriff"s of fice in the Coilrt-house a pair of handcuffs were put on the negtv, and he was taken to the jail, where he is securely locked up awaiting the answer to a teh-grom which Sheriff Kenan has sent to Albany. In ap- noarance. the nogro who gave his name as Mompo Smith, U a short, thick set fellow, and when found had on nothing but a pair of pants- an undershirt and a pair of shoes, alt well worn.

The gradual changes in favor of Ainori- esn iron in this important branch of com merce have been repeatedly pointed out. The <wu*> of them is mainly the high price of Fmglish iron. Foreign buyers hare long since discovered tlmt we can make better iron than the English iron manor*; and now that wo can undersell them in some of the manufactures of ima, «f rvure ■ tho Camulian, West In dian and South Americas consumers pre fer the American article.

The rnsoorkable feat of fasting for 303 consecutive hours, or twelve days and fifteen hours, has recently been nc- complishiil in Boston by a man named Owen F. McDermott. The task was be gun at 10 o'clock in the evening of Au gust C, nnil finished at 1 o'clock r. x„ Au gust 19. During all this time he allowed neither food nor drink to pass his throat, though tho demands of thirst, which, it is well known, arc much stronger than those of hunger, were slightly assuaged by an occasional rinsing of the month and a daily bath in ’salt water. For thc first five days of the task he worke4 at sawing and splitting wood, carrying bundles, and doing errands generally. Every day ho took a salt water bath, and then a long walk, going some days as far as two or three miles. Jit the conclusion of the walk he would lie down for n three hours' nap, awl always had sound, re freshing sleep. Wnile taking his daily walks, after the third or fourth day, he would occasionally feel faint, or as if he son struck, lint this feeling would quickly pass away, and he would suffer no inconvenience from it whatever. For the ftrstfonr «iays the feeling of hunger was in - tense, but after that he scarcely felt hun gry. but found himself gradually grow ing weaker, though he kept up tho same daily rontine to the end. On the 5th of July he weighed 141 pounds, and he was not weighed again nntil the Saturday af ter he started on this feat, when lie weighed 130. At the conclusion of tho trial lie weighed 120 pounds. As much of the time as possible lie spent out-of-doors in some kind of exercise, rarely taking more than three hours’ sleep at a time. Wien he resumed eating he only took one-half of an egg-cup of oat meal porridge and milk boiled together. This ho took at the hours of 1 r. si. and C p. v. f and was ten minutes each time in eating. The quantity was gradually in creased until Saturday, when he ate three egg-cups full of boiled rice and milk at ten minutes of two in thc afternoon, which wnsthe extent of his eating that day. Hu estimates that during the twelve days he walked at least fifty miles. Since he loft off fasting he lias steadily gained in strength, t ill now he thinks he could walk as far and as lively as ever, though he still lacks mneli of his natural strength. His only object is said to have been with a view to making a match for money for again attempting similar feats. Railway Speed. The London “Engineer” states that . the highest railway speeds in tho a arid are attained in England, anil that the highest of all is readied on the Great Western railroad—tho speed on the Litter King given roundly as fifty miles an hour. Instances are given, however, of sixty-five and seventy miles an hour, and the “Engineer” lielieve* that it would K possiblo to lay a permanent wny so well, and to maintain it in such excellent onler, that trains might travel on it with perfect safety at one hundred miles an hour—in deed, miles upon miles of such track are non' to be found on most of tho great main lines, but nowhere can one hundred consec utive miles of permanent way in perfor- tion be found: and, as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, so n few hundred yarda of had track would spoil for tho purpose of travelling one hundred miles an hour a whole line. The really important question, argues the “Engin eer,” is, given tho line and tho ears fit for it, what shall the engine bo like, and is it possible to construct an engine at all wbicn. with a moderately heavy train, will attain and maintain a velocity of on. hundred miles an hour, on a line with no graiki heavier than, say 1 to 300 ? After a thorough examination of the question in all its bearings, the “Engineer’s” fig ures prove that it is absolutely impossi ble to obtain a speed of one hundred miles an hour on a railway, if the resistance is anything like 120 pounds per ton. printed in the “iri" fashion, mtti— *>'H after looking at the result, she concluded htUc woe pretty enough for her, and . htrasj 1 ■■■■■II perpetrator* of the crim.\ to prevent any effort to save the building, knocked thc bottom out of the well-bucket, and throw the whirl into the well.

Hero araaninas that etc richest and most profit able, although others have been opened in almost every county in Western North Carolina. This mica mining may be a new idee, to many of our readers. Mica ia only found either in conjunction with white quarts rock, usually lying between the quartz- and a superincumbent layer of feldspar. It requires good tools and hard labor to separate it. It is supposed that the mica, being indestructible by fire, was forced up with the rocks when the latter was in a molten condition. It b in detached masses, weighing from one to one hundred pounds and over, and measures from three to twenty inches square. When taken from tho minos it is at onoe denned, and split as thin os de sired. These are cut out into various patterns, and range in price from twenty- five, eent$ per pound for tho smallest, to five dollars for tlie largest. Tho profit is frequently large, although the price has of late years decreased fifty per cent. One lot shown the correspondent of the News as worth nine hundred dollars, cost oa(y forty dollars to prepare for market. ed by many numbered among your friends and ad mirers, actuated to this, as they believe, by tho present condition of public feeling. This speech was not prepared n. r thought of. but was impromptu, as I understand it. Mr. Davis—Certainly, it was impromp tu. It was:: reply made to an address of wclcomo by the president of the Histori cal Society of the ex-Confederates. Editor— A political significance lias lxien given to this speech or short; address that you no doul A never . intended, re moved as you are from the politics of thc day. -r -j j "f II ’I 1 Mr. Davis—It aoems strange imb ed that a few remarks addressed to a few friemV and associates on a subject, upon which between them atul myself there eouhl bo no diversity of opinion, with tho propriety of a historical vindication f>! the cause and conddct of the Southern people in the late war, should bo regarded as an address made to thc public with say expectation of affecting politico! opinion. • But warring all questions as to the character of the address, the place where it was made, and the circumstances under which it was delivered, what is there in it to justify criticism, or excite apprehension of evil effect upon the efforts of those whose political success I desire? The expreasion which is usually referred to is that tho Southern people have lmcn more “cheated than conquer ed.” Now, is this true or not? Did the Congress of the United States, bv solemn resolutions, not assure the people of the South that there wax no purpose to inter fere with the institutions of the States? that tho object was topreserve the Union, and thc purposes for which it was or dained und established? Did not the Executive, (Mr. Lincoln,) by proclama tion. give like assurance to the people of the Southern States? Did not United States Generals commanding depart ments encourage the same belief among thc people ? And did not this lead to the impression on the part of very many that the war was waged for an abstraction, or at most for the preservation of property in slaves ? And was not the consequence frequent desertions in the winter of 1864- ’65, and were net people reluctant to fur nish commissary supplies for the support of the (Confederate) armies? And was not all this the result of the belief that their material interests and domestic peace might exist, as well under one gov ernment as the other, as the result justi fied that belief ? Is there any well-in formed man who will not say, that hail the armies known what a surrender would I'ring, that, they would and could have continued the struggle, and that Aho peo ple of the country, as long as they hail any food, would-have contributed it freely to the support of the armies, and that the contest would have continued until the in vader. weary of wlint might lie regarded endless struggle, would have retired, and in the Language of General Scott, al lowed tlie “erring sisters to go in peace?” Editor—Of course you di<lnot mean by tho use of the word “cheat” to reflect upon any of the officers who surrendered without communicating with you as the executive of tho Confederacy ? They held out as long as they had troops und muni tions. and only gave up to overwhelming nnmbera anil the pinching* of poverty ■verywhere felt ? Mr. Davis—Of course the idea eon. veyed by the word “cheated”, was tha' the people of the South were deceived by assurances given them by tho United States Government, through its officials, into tho belief that if they Liid down their arm* they would l<e restored to all the advantigcj and privileges of' citizenship which they li»3‘previously enjoyed. The trials of a tong war had made all men de sirous for the ease of peace. It was thus alone that the word could K fairly con strued. Men who had Ken reared under the constitution of tho United Stntes.and knew liow almost entirely their domoqttb interest-* were properly under tho control of their State Governments, would natu rally feel but little apprehensive of tho exercise of powers by the genera! Govern ment. if they Klieved thattGovcrnmcnt would be restrain'd within it3 constitu tional limits. * » '• a a a • Editor—You will have noticed, nc doubt, that many of the press of the Union, without regard to section or party, accuse you of a desire to keep alive sec tional animosities with a view nt some fit tore day to reopen tho civil war. In other y : h ’..*!fy y..-,;r eipre*s:uu‘ ilu cause ia not lost,” with a determination on your part to encourage another war. This I do not understand to be your po sition. but for the Knefit of the public I would like to present your own views and words. Mr. Davix—Tlioso who knew me best before the beginning or the late war knew how earnestly I strove to avert it. The record of t?io last committee raised in the Senate to see whether it wtss pos sible to harmonize the sections at that time (1800-61) will show how steadily I strove to find some means which would pacify the public mind then greatly ex cited. and clearly indicating a purpose in thc Southern States to pass ordinances of secession. At that period I was some what severely criticised as King too far Khind the sentiment of the hour mid the demand of the occasion. I regarded it os a material question; one which, how ever clear the constitutional right of se cession might be, would, nevertheless, lead to a conflict of arms, for which T knew the people of the South to K wholly un prepared.

Between them and the people a number of bamboo rods are placed in a lirib upon the ground. Any man who crosses one of these rods suffers immediate death. Soldiers bring in the victims— slaves taken in war, ami generally old men. They are- gag^od - by means of stick with grass rope wrapped round it, which fills up tho whole mouth, and is tied at thc back of the bead. Their hands are fastened together, and they are firmly bound to baskets which are carried on th.fi soldiers’ heads. Their bodies are entirely naked, save a single cloth around the loins. Cdnieal hats are kept on their heads until just before decapitation. The Rxnie Minister liesprostrate. aiirfreceives in that position a message from the King to the victims. This message is to be carried to the father of the present King, lio died about nine years ago. For subsis tence on thc way he gives thc m each a bottle of rum and a head of cowries. The men are then taken to a : platform twenty feet high in an adjacent court-yard ; there they are east headlong, still bound to the baskets. Tlie executioners then cut off their heads and exhibit-them to the peo ple; after which they are placed on wooll en altars to ornament the palace gate. Three dnys afterward thc heads are t aken within the palace where they are cleaned by the Amazons, and are then used,for state drinking cups, ornaments for drums, flagstaff* and other purposes. The K3- ies of the victims are dragged by tho crowd through tlie market place, ami lire finally thrown into a diteli outside Abo- mey, where the hyenas soon make short work of them. Thousands of skeletons are in this ditch but not a single skull. The men appear to have no fear of death'. Mr. Skctchly states that he has frequently looked into a man’s faco jnst at tho mo ment when he was about to have his head cut off. and not a muscle seemed to iijili- cate either emotion or fear. The present King is more merciful tlian his predecessors. He is endeavoring to reduce the fearful sacrifices of human life entailed upon him on his accession) to the throne liy thc customs of the country. He generously spares the lives of lujl the number of victims intended for sac rifice. No women are erer killed for sac rifice, although they, like tho men, are brought out on the heads of thc Amazons, to be carried around tho courtyard. Mammoth Loan. Indianapolis Journal.

The line jiroper will begin at Shreveport Louisiana, which will bo its eastern terminus, and will extend through the vast tiniKr.. country of .

Connections will be made at Shreveport with a road running toNew Orleans, and one running to Brunswick, Florida, through Mont gomery, Jackson, Vicksburg, etc., thus making almost an air-line across tho con tinent. Tho road is bnilt and in opera tion for construction nearly three hun dred miles west of Shreveport, and the entire line will undoubtedly bo built in a comparatively short space of time. Thip is supposed to ho one of tho grandest money-making enterprises in the prospec tive ever undertaken (a. this country, us tte company lira purchased a large num ber of grants anil reservations along the line, and has under its control an enor mous amount of landed property which, when properly developed, will prove of incalculable value to the owner.-*.

It is Grant’s Silver Wedding. A Long Branch correspondent draw3 upon fact or fancy for the following upon Gen. Grant’s silver wedding wlnqb took place on the 2Jth nit.: . i i Besides the weather, the chief topic of conversation is. linin’t silver wedding w]iieh will come off on Friday. There are many stories afloat concerning tho same. Each of the indefinite number of guests invited, it is said, will have to pay dearly for tho honor! No pLiteu ware will he tolerated among the presents for tho Preaidant of the United States on the oc casion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his marriage; nothing but solid silver will be .received. It is stated that the servants at the President’s cottage have orders to adnfit no one whose offeringis valuedatlcssthan $25. There is nolimit, however, as to the amount of the gift. Much conjecture is indulged as to what different individuals will give, and groat tales are told of the visits made to New York by the Presi dent's intimates not with him on the tour, and the ransacking of Tiffany’s and Bali and Black's silverware collections. Be it noted here that silver is not stipulated for. and gold may be thc composition. There are some definite statements aa to articles already purchased. One of Tom Murphy’s offerings—for a single present was not enough from Thomas— is said to K a miniature, in some solid silver, of the famous cottage by the sea he gave Grant two years ogo, with a sil ver figure of, the President at front sacking a silver cigar. Is an inch in' height, and the made in proportion. Its cost is com puted at $300. Another is said to K (bul only by those who had relations in Fort Lafayette during the war) a crown of solid rilver, weighing two pounds, tho circumference of which measures the same as th-A fnside measurement ono of Grant's cast-off bats, which waa taken to Tiffany’s for tho purpose by Mrs. Murphy. A silver sceptre or rare beauty of workmanship completes the re galia.* But of thc more substantial gifts, perhaps that of Lord Boscoe, who expects to be grand vizier under the the new re- ! gime. will give the greatest.

A Place Where it has hren Tested, andhoiT It Worked. ■ A Kansas corrcspondcndent of the Cin cinnati Commercial writes thus concern ing a small town called Genova that he recently visited: Speaking of Geneva, it is a town with a history—a place of ideas. There, on a small scale, the practice of woman snf. frage has Ken pretty well testeiL Ge neva was laid out Kfore the war by a New York and Massachusetts colony for a college town. A Presbyterian academy was erected, and started with edaf. The war and “hard times” broke them up, and tho school was left without support. Then it was proposed to merge the organiza tion into one of thc regular graded schools, which proposition developed, pro and con, tho laical party and tho minis terial party. In Kansas women aro en titled to vote on all school questions, and by their aid thc former party carried the day, after ono of thc hottest wordy wars of the century, and the academy Kcarno graded school, after several votes, the usual numKr of family quarrels, “silenc ing” the minister and any amount of clerical scandal. Then a small district cast of Geneva, cut off by this arrange, inent, Kgan an internecino war of its own. “Shall wo organizo or divide and annex?” became tho question of tho hour. Four times the party far organiza tion, independently carried tho day, Slav ing a clear majority of the women; but each timo with somo illegality in the vot ing, so tho opposition was able to beat them by recourse to the courts. (Smile not, reader, at these humble chronicles for this school district is but a typo of the whole political world.) Homesteads aro not taxable in Kansas for seven years; hence, those with homesteads and plenty of children wanted a separate district, heavy tax and six month:)’ school annu ally, while those with doodod land, money and few children constituted the opposi tion. At last, all legal impediments removed, they met for tho final vote, every able- bodied woman of lawful age present at the polls. Tho women commenced heated argument with each other, and t Ida m soon got the men into a rovr, each siding •with his own wife. It is said that stove- wood, cur303, hard words and other mis siles flew about with disgusting reckless ness for a few minutes, though I am in clined to think the stove-woexi part an exaggeration. One Mr. D , a very Hercules for size and strength* and an opponent somewhat smaller* stripped fora fight o la the prize ring* when Mrs. D rushed in with arms bared for the fray, declaring that her “Benny shouldn’t be imposed on.” The meeting broke up in a row, and the question of the legality of the vote is again in the courts* The men made up their quarrel in a month, but the women axe still at it, and likely to be till new spring .bonnets come in, or some other crisis diverts their minds from the sad causes of this fratri cidal strife. Tho district is still unor ganized, the two old districts from which it wa3 carved refuse to take them back, and educational interests are tn tlahuyuo ante helium. Wliat France has Lost and Germany Gained. A Paris paper writing on the subject of the French debt to Prussia as it ttood in tho middle of the ye?x 1872 says : Five milliards or $1X00,000.000 is not the whole liability of Franco on account of the late war. There aro to It© added to it—for tim ransom of Paris, $^0,000,000, for interest due March 2. 1971, Ja further sum oi $30,000,000, and for utdisfearsod tiut revenue to December, 1871, a pay ment of $11,015,000. These items make a total of $1,031,013,000, to which must be added interest at 5 per cent, from March, 1872, to March, 1874, on the unpaid bal ance of, $600,Q0QX>0Ct This runs the whole amount payable by France in $1,- 111,015,000—equal to about half the na tional d d/t of the United States. The Gerinaris have paid to Franco tho Mira of $65,000,000 as purchase money of the railroads in the coded provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. In addition to the indem* nity, France hu* been at the oost of of $500,000,006 for her own wurexpen.se*, including the damage done to Paris. The war expenses of Germany are re ported officially at $278,000,000, and her receipts from France, as figured out above will be $1,141,015,000. Therefore, the German profit by the war, without in cluding the value of Alsace and Lorraine, annexed by thc conaucrupi, amounts to $863,000,000.
