Tns New Orleans l*ieaynne says: Not
long ago a country storv. in dose prox
imity pi the dty. had one or two lioxes of
torpedoes, that are about the sixe of a
wren’s egg. left ever from its holiday
stock. In rsurrsngmg tho shelves one
ol the little boxes was opem.l and all its
.'ntents given away, except one single
Usrpetic, which, reeemhling a “binl’s egg”
.wiiily, as the colored folks call them,
was left on the counter. A wisedooking
eld negro rode up to that storo on a ma
licious-looking hone about nine o’clock
st night. He hitched hi, “critter.” and
came into the store to got a dram. While
ths clerk was pouring thisoutold grinly-
h ud, thinking that where even the
smslle.t things are available, opportuni
ties should not be lost, slid his horny
prim over that “binl'a egg candy, and
hauled it in. Then he made out like he
was putting a chew of tobacco in his
mouth. He idled his apparent quid
with his tongue back to his jaw teeth
and then he niu-t have shut down upon
- tight, foe the explosions of yells, and
shrieks, and howls, and sulphur smoke
-■•.Jtningl -d that ensue 1 was perfectly
awful. The old negro tore out to his
ll- howling, and. under the impression
‘a»t he had got ’oonjund.’ fled as fast as
•orry bouss could fly. The next morning
the clerk picked up. on the floor of a
store twenty-eight miles below New
Orleans, a jaw tooth that smelt of bum-
mber—forty-eight—being Ridi
| cals, and a majority of them the most
I Hcoundrclly, venomous negroes in the
le dty.
'ith such olds against them it would
i been almoit marvellous if the Con-
itives I. id secured a triumph. They

nt appear- [ runs, under the teachings and counsel
h, a large | of tho loathsome carpet-hag and scalia-
wag vermin who repr.»ent, and are such
pets of the Grant administration of t!
South. Those creatnres have been
■hoked off from tho city treasury of
Charleston for two years, and their hun
ger, now. is perfectly wolfish. We may
look to sew them thrust their .fool
fingers deeper than ever into tho pockets
of the property-holders of poor Charles
ton, and inaugurate a saturnalia of rob-
(■cry that wdl put to shame even the
annual raid perpetrated at Columbia by
tha brigandfi of the no-called Legi*lature.
(laving Btolcn the State Treaar.ry empty
and made Sooth Carolina credit leprous,
even amon^ the curb-stone brokers of
Wall street, the Grant p.uty o? Charles
ton with the ^reed and expedition
l>orn of enforced abetinenco and long
practice, will now proceed to divide out
what cash there may be in the strong box
of that doomed city.
Heaven help the poor whites who are
forced to remain and endu^ the weight
of this intolerable burden. They have
our heartfelt sympathy. They can do
nothing at present, to relieve themselves,
but they have hearts and memories. Let
them keep alive the fires of righteous in
dignation against the accursed party that
has wrought such ruin and degradation,
and teach their children to remember,
also. Tho whirligig of time bring* about
trange revenge*, and among them there
may be, in tho fntnre, full vengeance for
the wronged, and st »rn retribution to the
wrong-doers. Lot them bear preient ills
with stout heart* and steady nerve, and
nbovo all let them stand together.
Tlie .Situation full of Hope.
The Herald's financial article of Mon
day says that, viewed :rom any stand
point, the situation is full of hope. First,

of a part, at least, of t*i» anticipated No

opens and price* lieoome steady. All
this capital, come from what source it
may, will eventually find its way bock
into the (sink-*, and so enter upon its
usual round of u*efuln<«.*. Finally, our
export* for the post week show a de
cided increase above tlw? average, and ore
not likely to encounter any more than a
temporary check at tlie worst, b.»eau*e
stringency will disappear with distrust,
and distrust is rapidly passing away.”
Wall Street on Sunday.
The World, of the 20th, thus describes

could l>o no better evidence of reviving
confidence .than the contrast present 'd
tho preceding Sabbath:
The field of tho financial lmttle of the
l*at ten days was quiet enough yoster-
djiy. It wa* a day of rest in fact as well
a* in name. All tho brokers. tho*o that
arc strong as well ns the shaky one*,
seemed to have arrived at a somewhat
correct understanding of their asset* and
liabilities, and there was seen none of
that feverish consultation of account-
books and striking of balances which
made the street so peculiar in appearance
oi^the first Snnday of the panic. Only
in thn'e or four cases were clerks found
at work yesterday on their leilger*. The
offices were in general handed over to
the care of the janitor and charwoman
who was busy scrubbing and dusting in
readiness for the rush and turmoil of the
coming week. Almost the only on*^ vis
ible in the vicinity were the working
people of the First Want, who wore en
joying the fine day in the open air. At
the Clearing-house, which a week l>efore
jiujuntorl such an active scene, all was
still. On Exchange place on open board
of boy brokers had assembled; instead,
however, of kicking stock* up and down,
they made use of a foot-bull, which the
wooden pavement allowed them to work
to advantage. Wall street in short had
returned to its old routine, so far a* Sun
day is concerned.

eighteen year*, and belonged to Post

took a fancy to police life, and ever since

officers, and sleeping in the guard room,
and aiding in arrests. If an officer was
struck, the striker soon felt the edge of

Boiler Explosion—A Terrible Ac

Slioiitlt Injured—Destruction of
Property.—About nine o'clock yester
day monrng people living near the Au

noise, as of an explosion, in the direction
of the carpenter shop of Messrs. Clements
A Finch, situated on Fenwick .street,
near Marbury. It was soon ascertained
that the boiler of the engine used for
running the machinery in the shop had
exploded, wounding several men, and
considerable excitement ensued in the

the house blackened. All sorts of reports
in regard to the cause of the explosion
and the extent of the damage were cur

hop when the catastrophe took place.
About nine o'clock Mr. Thomas Prince,
the engineer, was busily engaged in get

were in the engine room at the time five

solid investment stocks. Central, Harlem
and Lake Shore, have been subjected to
the severities of the occasion. The “old
Commodore” has so often come to the re
lief of his stocks in times of difficulty; he
has done so many brilliant things in the
way of “bulling” them when attacked
by the “bears” that there has been a sort
of superstition about their keeping their
hood* up in any stonn. It is doubtless
true that, even in hi.* best days, the Com

somewhat dlgnifiei aud jaunty, with his
white necktie, his pretty good tailoring,
and his nice barberiring, especially about
tho whiskers ; but four score years are at

brit'f, old ao* is overcoming him, and the

of his anatomy. His organic and in- -
I telle 'tual forces are, doubtless, also
losing their vigor; and he probably than two thousand pounds w.

by exaggeration or vacillation.
I aide, a distance of over twohundred yards
! from the engine. The fence immediately
I behind the shop, and through which Gus
I Youngblood was blown, was demolished
; for some distance. On the north side at
the em-t end, where the engine was loca
ted, the destruction was great. The en
tire shed was blown down and the tall
I chimney, which was used as the exit for
the smoke and the steam, completely de
molished. A great number of the bricks
were thrown into Fenwick street and
:.y ]. ; r.>--l aeros* it, through the win-
dows and doors of Mr. Piter Sheron’s res
idence opposite# several going some dis
tance beyond and falling in the yard.
The front of the house was battered and
blackened and the fence thrown down.
Every pane of glass in the front windows
w&3 smashed and the doors badly dam
age* 1. The members of Mr. Sheron's
family were in the house at the time,
bat, fortunately, none of them were
injured by the missiles. Two of his
children, however, were blown from
the hopse into the back yard by
tho force of the concussion, and one of
them, a little girl, slightly scalded about
t ii ■ f*--t by t' • hot rpny from the l»oiler.
Several bricks were also hurled through
the windows of the lower story of Beth-
e*<la Hall, used a* a school room, just
ubqye Mr. Sheron's. There were only
three persons in the school room at the
time — Miss Holden, the teacher. Miss
Mat. 'Whitehead, one of the pupils, and
another young girl, also a pupil. The
other scholars were out in the back yard,
the teacher having just put her hand on
the bell to announce the school hour when
tho explosion occurred. Miss Whitehead,
who is an adopted daughter of Mr. Mc-
Conkle, was struck by a brick and slight
ly injured. Neither of her companions
was hurt. All the panes of glass in the
front windows were broken. As soon as
possible after the accident. Sir. Clements
was extricat 'd from the debris and re
moved to hi* residence, near by, and a
physician summoned. It was discovered
that a beam had fallen across his abdo
men, inflicting internal injuries. His face
was severely bruised and scalded. He was
perfectly conscious, and conversed freely
about the explosion. His pulse, however,
was very low, and fears of his recovery
were expressed. About half-past six
o’clock last evening we learned that he
had been sleeping, and that his condition
was much better, the indications being in
favor of his recovering from his injuries.
Mr. Finch estimates the damage to pro
perty of the firm at about $2,000. The
damage to the residence of Mr. Sheron
was also considerable, but wo did not
learn its exact extent.
Mrs. Peter Butts, of Upson county,
was thrown from a buggy at Thomas ton
last Saturday and seriously injured.
The large merchant mill of Mr. Mason
Huguely, near Stroud's Cross Roads, in
Monroe county, was burned one night

He had lived in the same neighborhood

BY TELEGRAPH.
Trip to Dalilonegra.
The Air-Line Railroad afforded a com
fortable ride, a good class of coaches and
small railroad towns every few miles.
Gainesville is growing. A commodious
brick hotel, four stores and the postoffice
right at the depot, several handsome res
idences, a large brick seminary, almost
completed, and a brick church with its
foundation laid.
I went to Dahloncga by the hack line
that runs daily on the arrival of the train,
from Atlanta. And those who will realize
the invigorating influence of the atmos
phere and the beauty of the scenery on
the way, must make the trip for them
selves. And when you reach Dalilonega,
you are in the midst of tho most beauti
ful hills and spurs of mountains to be
seen in any portion of the country. From
thence you look upon ranges of moun
tains, and yon look down upon the near
valley farms, that makes tho scenery un
surpassable.
There is certainly as fine a climate in
this section, as in any portion of the
State; and it only awaits increased intelli
gence and capital to demonstrate that
the valleys and hill-sides of North East
Georgia are equal in capacity for grain
and grass crops, and the raising of stock
of every description, to any portion of the
Southern States. The North Georgia
Agricultural College, located at Dahlone-
ga, is now the great centre of attraction,
for that entire section of the State.
North East Georgia has always been cut
off in great measure from educat : onal ad
vantages—now this lack is supplied.
They now have in their college a good
and cheap institution of learning. The
People, generally, of that section, have
.imited means, and this college only cost*
pupils five dollars initiation fees at
the beginning of each session; and excel
lent board can be had at from eight to
ten dollars per month, and this brings an
excellent education within the reach of
thousands of young men who were prac
tically shut out of the good schools and
colleges by the costing of tuition and
board, and the general expenditures con-
D«i*t«*d therewith.
This college was opened last January,
and has had an average of one hundred
and sixty pupils, and it continues to grow
in the confidence aud esteem of its pat
rons. And, surely the patrons of educa
tion throughout the State ought to con
gratulate themselves that there is estab
lish*-1 su.-’.i an in-tit-Uion of learning in
so important a region of the State. Many
youth of limited means from every sec
tion of the State will be educated there,
and many from the debilitating climates
below will have their health built up
while getting a good education. G.
Two Scraps of History.
The Cincinnati Commercial dig3 up
two scraps of history that will be .new to
most people, but which are of interest
even at this day. It says:
Some ancient history may not be inap
propriate in this connection, and we re
mark that two of the prominent citizens
of Ohio who narrowly escaped the presi
dency were Thomas Ewing and William
Allen. Thomas Ewing would have been
nominated and elected vice-president in
stead «>f Fillmore if Lewi? L> Campbell
had not rejected, at the head of the Ohio
delegation, the tender of the nomination
to the Ohio man best known as the friend
of Henry Clay. This, of coarse, was done
in tlie moment of irritation following the
nomination that Mr. Webster said was
“ not fit to be made.”
A* for Allen, he was offered the Demo
cratic nomination by the Baltimore Con-

New York Democratic Convention.
Tlie Platform of the Party.
Utica, October 2.—The Democratic
State Convention met at 10 o’clock this
morning.
The committee on resolutions submit
ted the platform :w follows:
Wu condemn aud denounce the salary
grab, and all Congressmen, Democratic
or Republican, who voted for it, or who
have not renounced all share in the plun
der seized for service already done and
paid for.
We condemn and denounce the Presi
dent’s signature to the bill which clinplicd
this’ iniquity, and which gave $5,000 to
each Congressman, while procuring
$100,000 for himself, after Congress had
just refused to increase his salary; and we
demand it* repeal.
We demand a revenue reform, so that
custom-hojise revenues shall be got from
low, aud therefore protective, duties on a
few articles, and not from high, and
therefore less productive, duties on 2,000
articles.
We demap d a return to specie pay
ments. We demand that the p;licy of
paper inflation, protective tariff and gov
ernment subsidies shall bo abandoned to
the half civilized nations and ages, of
which it is a relic, because it plunders
the farmers of the United States, both in
their incomes and -outgoes; it ham
strings our manifold industries: it con
verts oar foreign commerce into an un
safe speculation, and our domestic trade
into a game of chance; it breeds extrav
agance in our homes and dishonesty in
public and private trusts; it foists cor
rupt combinations of sectional interests,
and it is the prime cause of the late
financial disasters.
In the midst of these wide spread ca
lamities and this general distress, we
scent the President’s pill for panics—
more inflation, more subsidies, and more
ballooning, and we point the country to
their true remedy and cure, in the tried
and historical principles of the old democ
racy, applicable throughout our National,
State and municipal life which limit and
localize (?) most jealously tho powers en
trusted to public servants; which enforce
honesty and frugality in public and pri
vate affair.*, which prescribe equal taxa
tion for all. and currency as good as gold;
and we hold out to the farmers of the
United Suites the right hand of hearty
fellowship in their just resistance to the
exactions of monopolists, and. their just
demands for these great reforms.
Resolved, That those who are trusted
by our laws with the appropriation and
expenditure of public money should be
subjected to the same restrictions, rules
and regulations that are imposed upon
the tax-payers and collector*, and should,
in like manner, be required to keep such
accounts of their business affairs as are
demanded of merchants and manufac
turers, so that an examination of their
books and transactions will show any
frauds and corruption in their official
busicess; that they shall take and sub
scribe to official oaths, at proper periods,
that they have not in any way been un
lawfully benefited by their official action.
Resolved, That we recoganize in the
Liberal Republicans, worthy coodjuta-
tore, ami we cordially invite them to
unite with us in our effort* to restore
pure government in our State and Fed
eral administrations.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
The Convention then proceeded to
nominate a State ticket. Diedrich Wil-
lers, Jr., of Senica, was nominated for
Secretary of State; Thomas Raines,
Liberal Republican, and the present in
cumbent, was nominate*! for State Treas
urer ; Sylvansus N. Sweet, was nominat

The Bat and Ball.
Philadelphia, October 1.—Tho ninth
game of the championship series between
the Boston and Philadelphia clubs, each
club having won four, came off to-day at

5,000 persons. Nicholas Young acted as
umpire. The Bostons won the toss and

the third and fourth innings tho Phila
delphians wore blanked, while the Bos

the fourth. Philadelphia added one to
tho score ,in the fifth inning, while the
Bostons made four. The Philadelphians
were blanked in the next two innings,
the Bostons making one, and in the sixth
and seventh received their only goose
eggs. In the eighth inning each side
scored one. Commencing with the eighth
inning the score stood: Boston 17, Phil
adelphia 7. ^ Philadelphia opening the
inning with spirit, had scored four, with
only one out, when darkness came on and
the game was called. Betting was heavy
and much money was lost by the friends
of the White Stockings, who anticipated
a victory. Tho score was as follows:
Philadelphia, 4,1,0,0.1,0,0,0,1—7; Boston,
4,1,2,4,4,1,0,1—17. The large score was
mainly from errors, there being only two
runs earned by the Philadelphians and
one by the Bostonians.

Mlckness will Follow.
New York Correspondence Boston Journal.]
It is considered an even chance whether
the panic has reached its height or not.
Five thousand men close tlie week in
poverty who opened it in wealth and posi
tion. It is said that Jay Gould is the
only man on the street whose note is
worth more to-day than it was ten days
ago. He has male millions by the dis
aster.
Physicians say that fatal sickness fol
lows invariably these terrible panics. The
excitement and the fright is ruinous to
health. Strange enough Bright’s disease
follows one of these crashes. Keep, Lock-
wood, Little, and other eminent bankers
died shortly after their failure.
A man who had lost terribly said yes
terday, “ I liavo lost my money and my
energy, and tho worst of it is that I am
twenty years older than I was yesterday.”
A dozen men rule and ruin New York.
“ Dog will not eat dog,” but bull will
eat ball and bear will eat bear. In Wall
street the son will turn against the
father and the son-in-law will ruin the
father-in-law. No man trust* the honor
of any man on the street, except in the
mere matter of payments. A clique is
formed to bull or bear a stock. The
round robin is hardly signed before the
parties look out for a chance to sell out.
The man who betrays his associates first
is the sharpest fellow.
A case in point: A gentleman left the
street with five millions. He took leave
of his associates and started on a Euro
pean tramp. He came home a short
time ago, and several operators, among
them two or three wealthy bank presi
dents, invited him to a dinner. An inci
dental reference was made to a great
speculation in which the parties were in
terested. There were millions in it.
Heated by wine,'the guest was induced
to venture once more on tho treacherous
seas of speculation. Every dollar of his
fortune is wiped out. He has not money
enough to pay a week’s board; his sys
tem is shattered so that he never will be
able to do any more business, and he has
to be watched closely to keep him from
suicide.
The whirr of the partridge, tho whistle
of the quail, and the flurry of the wood
cock through the bushes are sounds not
unfrequently heard by pedestrians in the
secluded northern p*rt of Central Park.
New Alstbad, N. H., boast* that “ev

“Thirtt-two cent3!” echoed a woman
yesterday, when her grocer charged her
that sum for a pound of batter. “Yes,

see the grocers can’t carry much of a re
serve, and we can’t turn out oar collater

calls in the bonds due in 1874, and the
imports of bullion tend to ease the money
market a little, butter must find its level
with everything else. Butter is very
panicky jnst flow, bat I think the worst
is over.” She paid the money without
further growling.—Detroit Free Press.
