FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1880.
—There is a Boston Bible class with a
teacher on a salary of SI,000 a year.
—There are now 07,000 miles of sub
marine telegraph cable in working order.
—The Rev. Willard F. Hardy narrowly
escaped a failure to be ordained as pastor
of a Congregational church at Whately,
Massachusetts, because he said, in answer
to a question by the council, that “it is
our fault, and not simply our misfortune,
that Adam sinneJ.” Several members
objected to that doctrine.
Three Years nr the Wrong Bed.—
The Fottsville Chronicle says that
Washington correspondent announces the
nteresting fact that Mr. and Mrs. Hayes
nave been to Mount Vernon and slept in
General Washington’s bed. That isn’t
lie worst thing they ever did by a long
shot. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes have been
sleeping in Samuel J. Tilden’s bed in the
White House for the last three years.
—A clever cartoon is being largely sold
in London. It shows Her Majesty reluct
antly giving her hand to bo kissed by Mr.
Gladstone, who is on bis knee, while Lord
Bcaconsfield appears in the background
with a very hurt look on his face. The
likenesses are good, and the situation is
further elucidated by the poet’s
Oh, ’tis ’ard to give the ’and
'Where the ’art can niwah be!
Senator Edmunds.—The Tribune of
Friday says that an interesting story
comes from Philadelphia of a lunch party
at Don Camcroh’s house just before the
Pennsylvania “boss” started for Chicago.
Senator Conkling was-present, and the
third member, of the Grant Triumvirate
was represented by Senator Logan. Ac
cording to the anonymous person who re
ports the conversation on that occasion, it
was agreed if Grant were defeated at
Chicago, the third term forces should fall
back on Edmunds.
Points Which May. Need Explana
tion.—The Tribune says that the Grant
nicu will hesitate at nothing that will aid
them in winning their point in the Chi-*
cago convention. So, after the anti-third-
tenuers have smashed the unit rnle, let
them not be surprised if they arc confront
ed by contesting delegates from districts
that have not been considered doubtful.
Every way that is dark and every trick
that is vain will be used to force the
third-term candidate upon the convention,
and nothing but eternal vigilance on the
part of liis opponents will enable them to
w in.
—Mr. Gladstone is hard at work until a
late hour at night surrounded by a bevy
of clerk3. It is not in grappling with the
foreign question, nor in working out do
mestic legislation, nor airing his erudite
phillicllenism by discussing the Homeric
legend, nor yet in taking up the conversial
cudgel against the college of cardinals,
that the prime minister shows the master
quality of bis versatile intellect. It is
when lie is balancing the books, making
both ends meet in the national revenue
and making out a surplus by nice devices
and crafty inspirations.
—A strange story of second sight is
tnld «t Sairwa, Kentucky. The Rev. Mr.
Vaughn, Judge Durham, and several re
spectable Colonels vouch for its truth. It
is to the effect that Mrs. Foster was ill and
part of the time delirious. When out of
her head, one night, she said that two ne
groes were setting fire to a certain build
ing; that she plainly saw them pouring
coal oil on some buildings, and preparing
to.light it. No heed was paid to.her rav
ings. A few minutes afterward the
watchers in the room heard an* alarm of
fire. The flames had been discovered at
the very time and place of which Mrs.
Foster had spoken.
—Mr. Beck said a thing in the Senate
on Friday tliat may well set plain people
thinking. “I served on the House com
mittee on ways and means for six years,”
he said. “I saw all the great monopolies
and protected interests of the country,
struggling there to perpetuate their privi
leges. I have seen the ablest lawyers ar
gue their cases for pay, day by jlay—some
for salt, some for iron, some for blankets,
some for cotton, and for everything that ^s
protected. But I never saw one human
being come here yet to argue for a reduc
tion of taxation in the interest of the pro
ducers and taxpayers of this country.
—The water is diverted from the Merri-
mac river, for the use of mills at Lowell,
Massachusetts, and at G o’clock is turned
back again. Two little boys were fishing
from a rock in fho rapids when the water
came thundering down. They climbed
to the highest point, where they were just
above the current. Efforts were made to
rescue them, but in vain, and they were
compelled to remain on their perch all
night. The danger was that they would,
get asleep and fall off, and to keep them
awake their parents and others built bon
fires on the shore, sang camp meeting
songs, and told stories to them until morn
ing.
Tilden Count to Date,—In a .re
view which leans towards Tilden, the
New York Herald gives a table which
shows that, after his best work in his
strongholds he has, by more than a hun
dred votes, less than one-third, although
nearly two-thirds of the delegates have
been selected since the table was made
up. Mississippi has selected a Bayard
delegation, .out of which General Wal
thall says tliat. less than five are for Til
den, and Nevada has selected a divided
delegation between Thurman, Tilden and
Field. Arkansas, Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Ken
tucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Ne
vada, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and West -Virginia are yet to
-elect delegates. Out of them Mr. Tildeii
may get the Republican States <5f Nevada,
Colorado, possibly Maine and Michigan,
some votes in Illinois, and possibly a ma
jority in Kentucky, but. not a majority iii
any other. All lie can get will scarcely
give him one-third, much less a majority,
and still less the requisite two-thirds, of
the votes in the Cincinnati convention,
The Rev. Aleck Carraway.is one of
the most eloquent of North Carolina’s
colored preachers. His exhortations
camp meetings are wonderfully effective
and he is able to move his audience at
will. But when, on being convicted of
stealing a pair of trousers, at Charlotte, he
made the greatest oratorical effort of his
life to convince the magistrate that the
devil alone was resjsmsible for The crime,
he found that he had a hard hearer to
move. “You said that you were possessed
by the devil when you took the pants!
the Justice said. “Yes, sab,” was the re
ply. “it wa’n’t me, but de debble dat was
in me.” “Well, then, in order to punish
that devil, I will send you to prison for
three months.”
The Ladies’ Temperance Meeting.
An Inadvertence.
The writer was one of the delighted
multitude on Tuesday night, who were-
present at the organization of the “Wom
an’s Christian Temperance Union,” and
listened with the deepest interest to the
programme of exercises. The next morning
a notice of the meeting and the names of
the several speakers appeared in print.
Wishing, however, to testify more emphat
ically to the value and importance of this
praiseworthy movement, in an editorial
yesterday, the subject was again brought
forwaid and highly commended.
In the hurry of composition, and the
absence of notes of any kind, while des
canting upon the remarks of the speakers,
unfortunately the name of one of the most
eloquent of them all was omitted. This
was wholly unintentional. The individ
ual in question, our esteemed and accom
plished friend, Rev. M. B. Wharton, D.
D., was peculiarly happy on that occa
sion. But just returned from a protracted
railroad jaunt, still he could not forbear
wending his way, without even paus
ing to rest, to the ladies’ temper
ance meeting. And’ when * an open
debate was announced, the Doctor was
the' first to address the audience
upon the supreme importance of this tem
perance movement, which, under the fos
tering care and personal influence of the
mothers, wives and sisters of the commu
nity, is certain to achieve a world of good.
His remarks were listened to with the
closest attention, and the “union” is for
tunate in securing the services of eo able
and zealous an advocate and champion in
behalf of their worthy cause, as Dr.
Wharton.
Losing Ground.
It is beginning to be quite apparent that
the Sage of Grainercy Park is losing in
stead of gaining strength, as the eventful
22d of June draws nigh. His bodily in
firmities and precarious health, the savor
of that unpaid income taxjlipse cipher dis
patches and his ugly domestic quarrel at
home, all tend, however unjustly in some
respects, if the whole truth was known,
to pull him down. Again, the belief is
almost universal that even if nominated,
so lukewarm would be his support that
the election of Mr. Tilden would be an
impossibility. Thousands of the best
Democrats in the land would either ab
sent themselves from the polls or vote
against him. It is a noticeable fact also
that his friends no longer press the claims
of their favorite with tho enthusiasm of
I former days. Even the editor of the
Courier-Journal, who has labored like a
beaver for Mr. Tilden, now makes this
mild deliverance after summing up the
strong points of Ins favorite candidate.
“We have urged these views with all
the earnestness of our nature, with an
earnestness whicli rests upon a deep con
viction. But we make no factious oppo-'
sitionto any man.- We will accept the
decision of the convention at Cincinnati
most heartily, and we will do all in our

The great Democratic party cannot af
ford, for the gratification of a mere senti
ment, to Castaway alldummamoCouecm hv
forcing Mr. Tilden upon the people again.
We confidently predict his defeat at Cin
cinnati.
Railroad Notes.
A Good Dividend.—Tbe Central
railroad has declared a dividend of
tlirce dollars per share on the
capital stock of the company for the past
six mouths. Wo have no official notice
as to when the same will be made paya
ble.' This is certainly a handsome show
ing for the managers of this great interior
artery of commerce, and we learn that the
stock is firm and advancing.
Deserted Promotion.—The board
of directors of the Central railroad met on
Wednesday, the 2d instant, in Savannah,
and elected W. G. Raoul, Esq., vice presi
dent of the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company. Gen. Sorrell was also
appointed the agent of the Ocean Steam
ship Company at Savannah. Both of
these gentlemen are well and favorably
known to the public.
Mr. Raoul is possessed of great industry
and administrative ability,and confessedly
stands in the front rank among railway
experts. He is young, active and- ener
getic and will prove himself equal to any
and every emergency that may arise in
the discharge of his onerous duties.
Georgia’s Growing Crops.
What the Commissioner op Agricul
ture Has to Say op Them.
Dr. Henderson ha3 been recently inter
viewed by a representative of the Atlanta
press, and we summarize what he says
concerning the crops.
The general agricultural prospect of the
State at present is favorable. The acre
age of cotton is eleven per cent, in excess
of last .year, while that of corn is two per
cent. less. The improvement in stands,
howe ver, will, it is estimated, make up
this deficiency.
Oats show nine per cent, increase of
acreage. Fifty-eight per cent, was sown
in the fall. The wheat acreage is only
one per cent, greater than last year, while
the most recent and reliable advices in
dicate that the falling off in the total
yield will be fully fifty per cent., or one
half. The increase of commercial fertil
izers used upon the cotton crop is sixteen
per cent., while tliat of compost and home
made manures is put down at twenty-sev
en per cent. Up to April 3rd the con
dition of the cotton plant was less than an
average.
The commissioner says:
We sent out this year about 1,800 pack
ages of cotton seed; somewhere between
600 and 800 packages of com; a large
quantity of tobacco seed imported from
Cuba, as well as a good deal of native to
bacco seed. By the way, tobacco is being
cultivated in the State now to a larger ex
tent tbain since long before the war. We
have also distributed a largo quantity of
genuine Buncombe cabbage seed from
North Carolina.
In addition to the manuals already is
sued from the department we jyill have in
press in July a manual on cattle which
will be of great interest to the people of
the State, and may result in stimulating
the cattle-raising interests of the State.
It has been carefully prepared with a view
to giving the best information adapted to
tbe necessities of Georgia stock raisers,
• Giant on the Presidency.
Just now, while he is kicking up such a
dust at Chicago, it may be well to repro
duce what General Grant said to John
Russell Young, as contained in his
“Around the world with General Grant.”
Said he:
“I did not want the Presidency, and
have never quite-forgiven myself for re
signing the command of the army to ac
cept it, but it could not be helped. I
owed my honors and opportunities to the
Republican party, and if my name could-
aid it I was bound to accept. The second
nomination was also due to me—if I may
use the phrase—because of the bitterness
of personal end political opponents. My
re-election was a great gratification, be
cause it showed how the country felt.
Then came all the discussions about the
third term. I gave my views on that to
Senator White, of Pennsylvania. It is not
known, however, how strongly I was
pressed to enter the canvass as a candi
date. I was waited upon formally
by a' distinguished man, represent
ing the influences that would have
controlled the Republicans in the
South, and asked to allow my name to
be used. This position was supported by
men in tbe Northern States whose posi
tion and character are unquestioned. I
said then that under flo circumstances
would I become a candidate. Even if a
nomination and election were assured me
I would not ruri. The nomination, if I
ran, would be after a struggle, and before
it had been unanimous. The election, it
Ishonhl win, would be after a struggle,
and the result would be far digercnt from
what it was before. If I succeeded and
tried to do my best—my v**ry best—1
should still have a crippled administra
tion. I never had any illusion on the
subject, never allowed myself to be sway
ed for an instant from my purpose. The
pressure was great, but personally I was
weary of office. I never wanted to get
out of a place as much as I did to get out
of the Presidency. For sixteen yeart,
from the opening of the war, it had been
a constant strain upon me. So when the
third term was seriously presented to me I
peremptorally declined it.”
But we suppose with rest comes the
hankering after place and power again.
Shameful Partiality in the Army.
The following instances of favoritism
in the army towards officers who have no
other merit save tliat they are highly con
nected and liave influen-.ial friends, arc
gathered from the report of the secretary
of war, in response to a resolution of the
House of Representatives. Of those offi
cers noton doty with their regiments, but
holding easy positions elsewhere, tho sec
retary gives a list of two hundred, the
majority of whom, however, are detailed
as engineers and signal officers. These
all draw extra pay, besides their regular
salaries. W<3 quote as follows from the
report, which corroborates the statement
made yesterday concerning-Fred Grant:
Lieut. Frederick Dent Grant, Gen.
Grant’s son, lias been absent from Ids reg
iment for seven of tbe ten yearn of lus
army life, and Ids extra pay and allow
ances amount to $10,531. A wounded sol
dier (Forsythe) was removed from Gen.
Slieridau’s stall' to make room for young
Grant, with tho rank of colonel. Capt.
J. C. Audenreld, with the rank of colonel
of Gen. Sherman’s staff, is said to have
never served a . day with his regiment
since his graduation in 1802, and his extra
compensation, at $2,020, has been paid
him yearly, amounting, up to the end of
last year, to $34,131.01. His proper salary
is $2,000 per year. J. E. Tourtelotte, who
occupies a similar position on Siierman’s
staff, lias drawn $25,038 extra compensa
tion, and M. Y. Sheridan, brother of
Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, who is a captain in
the seventh cavalry, is receiving pay a*
his'brother’s secretary, and had $21,200
above his regular salary in all. T. M.
Bradley, a first lieutenant of infantry, at
$1,500 a year, lias never joined his regi
ment, but is assigned to special duty in
the war department, with extra pay at
$1,082, and rank as major, having received
in all $8,084.75 extra.
What say the boys in blue to such par
tiality towards the kid gloved gentry who
wear epaulettes ?
We are also preparing a concise liisto.-y
of all the cotton mills of the State, as well
tribution. This will give all needed in
formation to those seeking to know the
facilities and profits of manufacturing in
Georgia. In addition we want to give thb
power and value of all the available water
powers upon the main streams of the
State. This is done with a view to en
couraging the investment of Capital in
manufacturing enterprises.
The expenses of the department have
been reduced $3,000, and Dr. Henderson
is evidently doing a good work for the
fanning interests of the commonwealth.
Wo trust the last has been heard of any
attempt to abolish this important bureau.
At It Again!
The Pittsburg puddlers are all going to
strike again and so throw 50,000. men em
ployed in the iron works, of that district
out of work. Bar iron has fallen from
$S9.C0 per ton at Philadelphia, to- about
$55, and puddlers average three dollars
per day. The .producing capacity of
American iron furnaces is 6,500,000 tons a
year, au<f the consumption of domestic
iron last year was less than half that
amounts or 3,070,875 tons. Thejrribime
says “if the American iron workers insist
on wages which make iron cost more than
the imported article from England, they
simply insist on going without work or
pay.” '
Yes, that is true enough. And to put
up an artificial price for American iron by
a protective tariff is no remedy, for the
people will diminish consumption of iron
when the price becomes exorbitant, and
take to wood and stone. The masters,
finding that they cannot sell, stop work,
or work on half time. The men strike
tor high wages, and get the promise, but
don’t get the labor, and sathe silly game
goes on.
America can furnish iron for the wo: Id
—much cheaper than England can do it.
If masters and workmen, instead of this
foolery, would study the situation and
apply themsfelves to work out the condi
tions of a successful competition, trade
would be brisk and profitable. How long,
at present management, will it take Pitts
burg-to earn the five millions thrown
away in, the strike and riots of 1S77 ?
Blaine’s Animus.—Mr. Blaine re
marked -yesterday, says a special: “As
for me,1the people can survive my defeat,
but they will find it hard to survive
Grant's nomination." If this is a fair,
sample of the feeling between the rival
aspirants to the White House, it Will he
hard indeed to restore the entente cordialc
and perfect union and fraternity in the
approaching campaign. Will not the
‘Democracy point the moral at Cincinnati?
With Tilden out of the way we believe
there can and will be a thorough consoli
dation of eveiy anti-RadiCal element in
id,' the party. Then indeed would victory
assuredly perch upon our standard.
Decided.— The Christiancy divorce
suit, whose nauseating details we have
suppressed, has been decided by an order
from Judge Haynor fixing the alimony to
be paid the Senator’s wife at $150 per
month, commencing May 1st, to be, paid
in fifteen days, and the payment of $300
within twenty days to the defendant’s
counsel. All further proceedings by the
plaintiff, Mr. Christiancy, are arrested
until the amount due has been paid.
Gov. Cornell, of New York, has
given his certificate “that Gen. Grant Is
by all odds the most available candidate
to insure' success,” and will carry the
State of New York “by as large a majority
as any Republican candidate has ever re
ceived.” Hence, it will be seen that the
notion common among the Democrats
that Grant will be a weak candidate is
not supported by official documents.
Washington.
Washington, June 3.—In the House,
Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, from the commit
tee on the Pacific railroad, reported back
a bill to provide for the speedy - comple
tion of tbe railroad and telegraph line be

Eaton’s tariff commission bill was taken
up. Mr. Kernan advocated it. Mr. Coke
favored Garland’s substitute, which pro
vides tor investigation by a congression
al committee. Any commission ap
pointed by the President would continue

This was a struggle of the people against
monopolies. He favored a tariff for rev
enue alone.
Mr. Morrill, Mr. McPherson, Mr. Sauls-
bury and Mr. Eaton supported the hill.
Mr. Jones, of Florida, was opposed to hav
ing the President appoint a commission.

In the House, after some amendments
had been offered to the deficiency bill and
rejected, Mr. Cobb called the previous

to Mr. McLane, of Maryland, who spoke
upon the inter-Stato commerce hill, favor-
oring Mr. Reagan’s object, but insisting
tliat a board of supervisors was required.

Edison’s Electric Railroad.
Edison Las at least proved that he can
utilize the electric current for railroad
purposes. A Herald reporter went to
Menlo Park, yesterday, to witness a trial
of the flew motor on the three-quarter
mile railroad. As a precaution against un
foreseen accident, the member or the press
selected a seat as near as possible to the
inventor, because it would he only natural
to suppose that he was the safest one in
case the train should jump the track. At
signal from Edison, Mr. Batchelor
moved the lever attached to the switch
aud off he went. Tlie riuing was very en
joyable for the first five hundred yards or
so, when suddenly a most horrible curve
was reached, round which the motor,, with'
its car attached, spun at a rather uncom
fortable gait. Then came a series of
serpentine curves that were enough to
frighten anybody, but there was no slow
ing up. On the contrary, more power .was
put on, until it seemed that the whole
party were going to be shaken from their
seats. The line was located in the worst
possible positions by Edison, in order that
tlie “beauties” of his invention may be
readily seen by any one on the car. Some
of the curves are as sliaip as those used on
the surface roads round street comers in
New York, so the reader cau imagine how
pleasant it was to go round them at the
rate of about forty miles an hour. The
3trangest part of tlie programme was the
easy manner of controlling the motor, it
grade as easily as on the level track and was
as powerful at the end of the track, as in
the station, where the electric current first
reaches the rail. After the first trial the
reporter was invited to ride on the motor,
without having the car attached, so that
the speed would be increased. Three went
on this trip—one at the switch, another at
the brake, and tlie reporter holding on for
dear life: At the wfrrd go the machine
shot off like a bullet, and it was only by
holding on firmly that one's seat could be
kept. As the curves were struck the motor
rocked fearfully; in fact, it was as hard to
keep your seat on it as it was on an unbro
ken mustang when he sets his mind on
the “bucking” process of dismounting you.
The time made was fifty-three seconds
from the station to the end of tho track,
on the first trial. The motor has an elec
tric headlight, which has a very pretty
effect in the night time.—New York
Herald.

Whereas, Tlicrehas been recently ih
this State some adverse criticism and in
sinuations ot corrupt action on the part of

Dr. CL J. Moffe tt—Rear Sir: I can
not too strongly recommend your Teetli-
iija (Teetliing Powders) to mothers as one
of the best medicines they can obtain’ for
their debilitated and sickly infants. I
have used it with very satisfactory results
the past summer with my own child, and
while we have heretofore lost a child or
two from teething under other remedies,
our present child that has taken Teethina
is a fine healthy boy. Its merit is certain
to make it a standard family medicine fqr-
thi3 country for the irritations of teething
and -bowel disorders of children of all
ages. •
I am, very respectfully, .

ON TO CHICAGO!
This is the cry just now, and even old
Conger has made up his miud to forego
for a season the pleasure of making him
self a nuisance in the House, to join that
chorus. When he asked leave of the
House on Friday, not a man on either
side objected, though previously objection
had been made to all similar requests. I
doubt whether a quorum will be on hand
this week either in Senate or House, but
tliat fart, will not stop the machinery.
Unless attention is called to the fact, busi
ness can go on quite as well without as
with a quorum. In fact, this week will
be a good time to get rid of a mass of pri
vate bills on tbe calendar which only re
quire to be reached to he disposed of.
Of course the town is on its head
just now about the probable result at
Chicago. I see nothing to change my judg
ment as to the certaiuty of Grant’s nomi
nation. There is au immense amount of
flapdoodle being telegraphed from that
city to the anti-Grant papers, but it
doesn’t amount to a row of pins. Unit
rule or no unit rule Grant will win, and
no two men know this better than Blaine
and Sherman. You will probably print
the result before you do tins letter, but
don’t forget my prediction. I have never
had or expressed any other opinion as
your columns will prove. I shall rejoice
at the result, for Grant, in my judgment,
can and will be beaten if the Democrats
make a judicious selection at Cincinnati.
That, however, doesn’t spell Tilden. I
except him all the time.
the field boom
is still on deck, and is being pushed with
considerable vigor. His agents are quite
actively engaged at various points through
out the South, aud make quite cheerful
reports. If Tilden has really selected
Field as his residuary legatee, liis chances
seem quite promising for the nomination.
I learn, however, that ho is a poor man,
comparatively, so where the money comes
from to run the boom is rather a puzzle.
Can it be that S. J. T. is shelling out for
this purpose? Hardly, I should judge,
unless, indeed, he has already made up
his mind to give place to Field, and is de
termined to show the country his strength.
Judge Field would doubtless make an ad
mirable President, but my respect for lus
judgment has been greatly lessened since
he lias become a candidate for the nomi
nation for President. Any man who
would leave the supreme bench of the
United States to take his chances in an
exceedingly doubfal race for President,
seems to me to show an astounding lack
of wisdom.
GEN. GORDON,
with liis family, leaves for Georgia next
Wednesday, and will,. I understand, im
mediately enter upon liis duties as coun
sel for the Louisville and Nashville rail
way. There is great rejoicing in certain
quarters, not a thousand miles from the
National Hotel, at his retirement, but
that terrible explosion or something ofthe
sort, which was predicted—I hear—
by tlie Hon. Alexander Hamilton
Stephens, as sure to follow Gen.
G.’s resignation, has not yet been
heard, at least in this latitude. I
should not be surprised if the venom and
spite of the Hon. Stephens have not out
run or clouded his judgment in this in
stance, and that it is a case of the wish
being the father to the thought. General
Gordon’s departure is very generally aud
sincerely regretted, and this fact, which is
too plain to be ignored, or misrepresented,
is gall and wormwood to the little clique
referred to above. Tliat his successor will
prove an able and faithful representative
in tlie Senate ofthe rights and interests of
Georgia and her people, does not seem to
be doubted by anybody here. It seems
to be generally considered that the clamor
tliat has been raised at home over Gov.
Brown’s appointment is destined not only
to an early grave, but to react unpleasant
ly unnn those. Hllt'A’LWtfd it-
retura to tlie forty-seventh Congress with
out opposition seems to be regarded' here
as one of the certainties. After what
has happened in Bibb, Jones, Wilkinson,
Jasper and other counties of his district,
in regard to such an event, it is not con
sidered that he has anything to fear from
any quarter. The people seem to insist
upon his return, and rival politicians
must, in the end, yield to the inevitable.
This state of affairs is regarded here as
one of the most natural things in tlie
world. Mr. Blount, by concurrent testi
mony of his associates on both sides of the
House, has fully earned ail the distinction
he now enjoys, as one of the ablest, most
earnest, influential aud industrious mem
bers of Congress—a mau to be kept m
the public service just as long as he will
consent to remain in it.
REGARDING OTHER GEORGIA MEMBERS,
so far, at least, as their return to the next
Congress is concerned, the opinion seems
hardly less pronounced thau in the case of
Blount. The battle-scarred veteran, Cook
of the Third district, will of course be re
turned. There is nobody in that district
who either can or ought, to oust him. He
has served his people with conspicuous
zeal and ability and coufits his friends
here by legions. Hammond, Persons,
Smith aDd Nichols have all richly earned
re-election apd my information from Geor
gia is to the effect.that their constituents
agree with me. You cannot name any
delegation on the floor which ranks that
of Georgia. I am not, of course, in full
accord with the remaining members from
Georgia, but I do hold and . declare
that if gentlemen of their peculiar
political status and persuasion are
to ,lie returned . from their. respective
districts they are certainly to be preferred
to all others. I have expressed my opin
ion pretty frequently and freely about
Messrs. Speer, Felton and . Stephens in
their capacity as public men and official^,
but I certainly have never questioned
either their ability, ihdustry or capacity
as men of affaire. Why they should
choose to break that perfect unity which
would make our dear cld State so much
stronger here and elsewhere, is one of the
strangest and most 'unpleasant of facta.

Chicwo—How the Grant Men Feel
The Herald of the 18th states it th
■Underlying this turbulent surface they
(the telegrams) reveal a calm confidence
on the part of General Grant's managere
in the successful ultimate issue of their
arrangements Tor his nomination, despite
the adverse majority of the national com
mittee and apy set-back whiph they rnajr
encounter from that source in tho organi
zation Of the convention. “Let them
wrestle,” says Senator Conkling, “it wiU
do uo harm.”, “Letthe unit rple go,”
says Mr. Stoughton, “we can' nominate
Grant without it.” “There will be a sur
prise when the ' voting comes,” says Mr.
BUwards Pierrepont; “Grant’s strength is
not thoroughly known to his opponents;
he is a silent man, handled by silent mep
add followed by a silent army of dele-
00MpRa •••
These are.significant remarks, and.the
reports all concur that in the distribution
of parts at Chicago, the Blaine men gener
ally sire doing the “shouting,” ana the
Sherman men the “intriguing," while tlie
Grant men are “quitet.” They recall to
mind Mr. Conkling’s tel ling, quotation at
Utica, that “tbe shallows murmur while
tbe deeps are dumb.” Another feature of
the dispatclies is noteworthy. 1 Among tlie
utterances of General Grant’s opponents
in the shape of interviews and otherwise
there is painstaking avoidance of commit;
ment against him in case he is nominated.
Nothing but a consciousness of the pre
ponderating probabilities ef his notnina
tion can sufficient yexplain this peculiari

Way et al. vs. Meyers. Complaint,
from Chatham.
When a contract of rent provided that
if tbe tenant be in any way ousted from
the possession of certain rooms, the ten
ancy aud rent should cease, the fact that
the landlord entered and used, or allowed
others to enter and use temporarily on
one or more occasions the rooms daring
the absence of the tenant, docs not con
stitute such an ouster as to~relieve the
latter from the payment of debt.
Judgment affirmed.
Central railroad vs. Roach. Case, from
Chatham.
1. In a suit by a widow against a rail
road company for the homicide of her hus
band, who was an engineer in its employ
ment, two things arc necessary to a recov
ery : First, absence of negligence on his
part contributing to the occasion or cause
of his death; and second, negligence on
the part of tho company or some other
agent or employe. When it is shown that
the deceased w as without fault, the pre
sumption of negligence on the part of the
road arises. It may, however, he rebut
ted by proof. If neither the company
nor the. employes, were negligent, there
can be no recovery.
2. An engineer having jumped from his
engine and been killed, and the question
being whether or not he was. without
fault, the necessity for jumping, liis ability
to jump, and the safety withj,whicli he
could do so, are all for the cousideratiou
of tlie jury, and it was error for the judge
to charge that “the fact that he jumped is
proof that he thought jumping the safest
course.”
3. The court charged as follows: “The
pecuniary damages to the wife from the
homicide are to be ascertained by inquir
ing what would be a reasonable support,
according to the circumstances iu life of
the husband as they existed at his death,
aud as they may be reasonably expected
to exist in view of his character, habits,
occupation and prospects iu life; and when
the annual money value of that support
liaS been found to give as damages, its
present worth, according to the expecta
tion of the life of the- deceased, as ascer
tained by the mortuary tables of well-eS-
tabljslied reputation.”
Held, that, under the facts of this case,
the court should have amplified this charge,
and the attention of the ury should have
been called to the declining years of tlie
deceased, and the probable decrease year
by year of his capacity to labor at liis
calling.
4v In a suit by the wife of an engineer
agaiust a railroad, company for liis homi
cide, the jury should consider the age of
the deceased, and if old, his consequent
incapacity to labor long.
5. As to the negligence of the engineer
of tbe train immediately preceding that
on wbich the deceased was, it does not
depend on his incapacity, by reason of fits
or otherwise, to properly handle his train,
but on whether, under the facta and cir
cumstances surrounding him at the time
ofthe injury, he was negligent in stop
ping at the curve.
Judgment reversed.
Dean, executor, vs. The Central Cotton
Press Company. Ejectment, from Chat
ham.
■ I. A will provided first for the payment
of tlie debts of the testator, then for the-
payment of certain specific bequests, then
that the balance of his estate should go to-
his son for life with remainder to tlie
children of such son, if any, and if none,
then to certain other relatives. It also
provided that the son should not be al

1854 and died in .1800, leaving a child
born in 1S55. On an ex-parte proceeding
in 1843, filed less than thirty days before
the term, the court of chancery of tlie
county where the executor lived, and in.
which he obtained letters of administra
tion rendfered a decree, founded on tbe
verdict of a jury, allowing him to sell cer
tain realty in order to pay a debt and to
make the distribution required by tire
will, and the sale took place accord-
in s& , that though the proceeding was
irregular, the court was not without juris
diction to render the decree, and not being
void it cannot be collaterally attacked.-
The executory devisee was not then bom,
and the executor represented her interest
so far as it could’liave a representative.
2. Prescriptive title which is good as
against the executor of an estate,' is also
good as against 'the executory devisee
bom thereafter, and -w_h(5e interest was
represented by such executor.

Seibels vs. Hodges. Scire 'facias, from
Bulloch. • ‘
1. No order of court is necessary to au
thorize tlie issuance of a scire facias to re
vive a dormant judgment.
• 2. Where ten years have elapsed from
the .-date of. tha. judgment, and r.oifi. fa.
was issued, or if issued, no levy was
made,’ and no steps taken as provided by
law to revive the same, proceeding by scire
facias is barred. > nt -
3. Where a demurrer is filed to plead
ings, the court looks , alone to the law
arising thereon, and pronounces its judg
ment without considering any other mat
ter or thing appearing aliunde. It does
not appear that, after the order allow
ing tlie amendment, the right of the peti
tioner was Barred.
4: When it appears tlpon the face of the
papers presented to tlie court in a proceed
ing by scire facias to revive a judgment,
that the'original judgment was rendered
on an appeal cause by the court without
the verdict of ajury, it is not error to dis
miss the same upon the ground that it
was illegal and void, and therefore could
not be revived. _
Judgment affirmed.
Franklin vs. Kauftnaii fet al. Contested
election, from Chatham. !
1. Where the aijswer to, a certiorari
fails to reply specifically to the allegations
in the petition, to entitle the excepting
MKty to »' frailer response, he nttist specify
u writing tlife defects and give notice to
liis opponent.
2. A justice ofthe peace must be one of
the persons presiding at a , constable’s
election,'f there-is one in commission to
be had who is not a candidate. Where
such officer acted for but a portion of tliie
day the election was rendered illegal.
3. Whenever there is ai failure to elect
from any cause, either that the election is
illegal or there is no candidate, -or if the
election be legal and there is a candidate,
if he fails to qualify* and give, bond, then,
In legal contemplation there is a vacancy,
and it is the duty of the magistrates to
appoint. .Tlie county commissioners havp
no authority to ordev a new election.
Judgment affirmed.
Clark vs: Cassidy, aidm’r. Hail trover,
from City Oourt of Safvannab.
L Two verdicts finding proofs to au
thorize a total divorce, with no decioe
thereon, as ruled when this case was here
before, 82 Ga., 407, do not render the par
ties thereto competent to enter iuto an
other contract of marriage.
2. Tlie proceedings ot courts of record
are to be ascertained from the minutes
kept by the clerks thereof, signed and ap
proved by the Judge. Parol evidence is
therefore inadmissible to establish that
certain decree was rendered when collat
erally In question in the court of its ren
dition; much more so in another and dif
ferent tribunal.
8. The act of 1868 providing that in all
cases where a divorce a vinculo matrimo
nii has been pronounced, acd by decree
only one of the parties is authorized to
marry again, and the other party has again
married, such contracts shall be
legal, can have no applicability to this
case, whether constitutional or not, on ac
count of the absence of the decree above
referred to.
4. Sinoe 1864, to render a marriage
valid in this State, it is uot necessary that
license should be granted, or the banns of
the marriage published; if the other mode
is adopted, the factum of such marriage
i must be clearly established, that if to say,
tliat act by which a man and woman
unite for life, with mutual intent to ob
serve towards society and eacb other those
duties which result from tlie relation of
husband and wife, coupled with cohabita
tion and the performance of those duties,
precisely as they would be fulfilled if
solemnized under the other forms of mar
riage.
5. In charging as to the burden of proof,
the court should state what testimony
would shift tho onus rather than when it
would be changed. The latter would in
timate an opinion on tbe sufficiency of
the proof, whilst the former would simply
instruct as to what evidence, when sub
mitted, would be sufficient.
0. Where more than one plea was filed, -
and the verdict fails to disclose upon which
it was based, the jury should be remanded
to their room to fix that fact. As the pleas.
in this case set up various defenses, the
omission of the court to instruct upon this
point justifies the grant of a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.

The Negro Delegates at Chicago
How Daggett “Endears Himself to
the Colored Heart.”
The Chicago correspondent of the New
York World, who is there taking notes,
says :
Daggett, ot Kings county, is one of the
many wide-awake Sherman workers here.
He has parlors adjoining Cameron’s at the
Palmer, and there have not been twenty
minutes in any part of the day that some
oi tlie negro delegates have not been in,
his private room. Immediately after
breakfast a negro delegate was ushered in,
and then a basket of wine, and so on al
ternately all day. .It was the same yes
terday, and last night when one of tha
delegates found himself bedless, Daggett
had a cot provided for-him next to his
own. -The white owner of the oot return
ing to the hotel at a rather late and dizzy
hour, was urged and finally persuaded, in
the interests of resumption and success, to
pair up^vith the colored gentleman, and
they slept together for the rest of the night
a§ happily as brothers should. Incidents
of this kind, backed by inducements quite
as potent anil substantial, liave endeared
Daggett and resumption to the colored

No Hebrews Admitted.—Consider
able stir has been created in New York
over the announcement that Mr. Lack-
mier, proprietor of the St. Mark’s Hotel,
Staten Island, had positively refused to
furnish accommodations to Mrs. Jacobi,
wife of.ati eminent Hebrew medical prac
titioner of New York, and her family. Mrs.
Jacobi occupies a most enviable social po
sition, is a descendant of General Israel
Putnam of revolutionary memory, is a
sister of George P. Putnam, the well-
known publisher, and has never embraced
the Hebrew religion. According to Mrs.
Jacobi’s statement, which is confirmed by
tbe landlord, when she announced her
name he replied: “We have decided not
to take any Hebrews this year; we felt
that they injured us last year.” Lackmier
said, tbough Mrs. Jacobi was uot a He
brew, she “would be an entering wedge
in St. Mark’s new policy that would not
leave it whole a week, and that to admit
a member of a Jewish family at the start
would hardly be a fair way to test it.”
