tjpj* Mjesklg tmUx Jjjiamal & M»sjs«tig*K. ^tltgrafll k -taitugtr. 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 “*4",?" r s“3®ss aTSSSVrtffsrwEsuTae ’ mattersnot cation and prove of great value to the State. who is leader.’ 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 tween tbe ports on tlie lower Mississippi river and Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean, along or near the southwestern frontier of the United States, and to aid iif the construction of the same. Printed and recommitted. The speaker laid before the House a communication from the secretary of state relative to the erection or a monument to mark the birthplace of George Washing ton. Mr. Han is, of Virginia, thereupon in troduced a joint resolution appropriating $30,000 for that purpose, and it was unan imously agreed to. Mr. Wood, chairman of tla committee on ways and means reported a resolution for the final adjournment of Congress at 12 m. on the 10th inst. Resolution agreed to without debate. Yeas 100; nays 68. On motion of Mr. Hull, of Florida, a hill passed extending the jurisdiction of the light house hoard over St. Johns, Florida. The House then proceeded to dispose of the general deficiency bill. In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Beck, the House bill, amending the statutes in relation to the immediate transportation of dutiable goods was taken up. It al lows goods imported into the ports of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Balti more, Portland, Bath, Chicago, Port Hu ron, Detroit, New Orleans, Cleveland, Toledo, San Francisco, Norfolk, Charles ton, Savannah, Mobile and Galveston, and destined for New York, Bofialo, Burling ton, Vermont, New Haven, Middletown, Conn., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Balti more, Georgetown, D.

Washington, June*.".—The President sent to the Senate the nomination of Eu- gune Schuyler, now consul at Rome, to be consul general and diplomatic agent of the United States at Bucharest; William N. Patrick, now vice consul at Tien Tien, to be secretary of the commission to Clii- na. • / Washington, D. C., June 3.—On motion of various Senators, the following places were included in the poiats of des tination: Tensacola, Corpus Christi, Indianola, Nashville, Knoxville, Poit Royal, Houston, Petersburg, Va., Wil mington, N. C., Brunswick, Ga. Mr. Call moved to include in the porta of entry, Jacksonville, Fcrnandina, Cedar Keys' and Key West. Rejected. He moved to include those places, and Tampa Bay and Apalachicola, in the points of destination. Adopted. The bill then passed. Mr. Brown was appointed a member of the pensions committee, vice Farley re signed. ’ On motion of Mr. Hampton, the House bill granting the use of four condemned cannons to the . Marion, S. C., Artillery, was passed. 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 the present abominable tariff system. 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. It was an jnnovation on parliamen- taI 7<v- ra ^* C -— —J nst • vxuriauu s suu- stitutc was rejected by 21 to 25. Mr. Morgan said he liked Mr. Eaton’s bill, but believed the House would not pass it, as it ignored their right to origi nate revenue legislation. He moved to amend the bill so that the commission should consist of five Senators and five Representatives. Rejected. Mr. Brown moved to amend so that the commission shall make a final report not later than June, 1SS1, instead of Decem ber, 1881. He thought the people de manded a revision of the tariff, and wanted it speedily. Adopted by 25 to 24. The bill then passed by 31 to 15. Mr. Saulsbury announced that he will move to take up the Kellogg resolutions to-morrow. Several Senators desired to speak thereon. Mr. Brown introduced a hill authoriz ing the East Florida and Waycross rail road compauy to build a .fixed bridge across the St. Mary’s river. Referred. Mr. Voorliees announced his intention to speak upon the exodus to-morrow. Ad journed. In the House, after some amendments had been offered to the deficiency bill and rejected, Mr. Cobb called the previous question on the bill and yielded tbe floor 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. The deficiency bill was then passed by yeas 83, nays 77—the Republicans voting agaifist it. Mr. Knott, of Kentucky, chairman of the judiciary committee, submitted a re port of that committee in rdgard to the charges against Mr. Acklen. * It exoner ates Acklen from any gujlt of Irauduient intention in presenting a report as from a committee. It was adopted without de bate or division. The House proceeded to consider the Senate amendments to the post-office ap propriation bill. The amendment in creasing the appropriation for inland mail transportation $350,7)00 was disagreed to. The committee on appropriatlohs recom mended non-concurrence in the- Senate amendment striking out tlux proviso for the reletting of all contracts expedited to excceed fifty per cent, of the original price. . Mr. Ewing moved to concur in the amendment, and spoke in favor of keep ing faith with the contractors. Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, argued that the retention of the proviso would not be an act of bad faith. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, opposed the amendment. ’ Mr. Blackburn opposed it and insisted on curtailing the inordinate increase. Mr. Ewing’s motion was agreed to. Mr. Bragg moved to reconsider the vote. A motion was made to table Mr. Bragg’s motion, pending which the House adjourned. Little interest was taken, in the pro ceedings to-day, attention being absorbed by news from Chicago. Washington, Jane 4.—-In the House, after the transaction of some miscellane ous business, the Speaker stated the regu lar order to be a motion to lay on the ta ble a motion to reconsider the vote by which the House yesterday concurred in the Senate -Ittnendtnent to the post-office appropriation bill, striking ont a proviso relative tb the reletting of star routes. The motion to table was agreed to—yeas 87, nays 72. So proviso was stricken from the bill, which, now goes to the Senate for Its action in regard to the amendments which were non-concurred in by the House. Mr. Vance, Of North Carolina, from the committee on patents, reported adversely on tlie bill to repeal tlie act extending tbe patent of Henry Voe(- tar. Laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Reagan, of Texas, the Senate’s amendments to the river, and harbor bill were non-concurred in. At 2:35 the House went into committee of the whole on tho private calendar, but! after considering three pension bills, the committee, finding itself without, a quo rum, rose. The Senate bill removing the political disabilities oflTH: Carter, of South Car olina, was, on motion of Mr. Tillman, of South Caoolina, taken from the Speaker’s table and passed. Adjourned.

The bill appropriating $251,000 to re imburse tlie Creek orphan fund, which has been diverted to other uses, was WASHINGTON LETTER. The House bill to confirm certain en tries on worn out locations on the former Palatka military reservations in Florida,- was passed. The Senate bill to ascertain and pay the amount lost by Lieutenant Frank II. Gross by tlie burning of his quarters at Fort Clark. Texas, was passed. The Sen ate adjourned until Monday. 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. Jasper Democratic Convention. Monticello, Ga., June 1,1880. The Democratic convention of Jasper county met pursuant to call. On motion of Hon. Geo. T. Bartlett, O. G. Roberts was made chairman, and Bolling Whit field secretary. . ,- The chairman stated the object of the convention to be to appoint delegates to represent Jasper county in the Democratic convention to beheld in. Atlanta, June 9th, to select delegates to represent the State in the national Democratic conven tion to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. The following were selected as such delegates to the State convention from* Jqsper county: Geo. T. Bartlett,- R. C. Barnes, J. G. Elder, F. C. Goolsby, J. W. Preston, W. H. Thompson qnd C. W. Jordan, and the secretary instructed to notify the delegates at once of their ap pointment. On motion of Bolling Whitfield the fol lowing resolution was adopted: Whereas, Tlicrehas been recently ih this State some adverse criticism and in sinuations ot corrupt action on the part of our governor and,*the the Hon. .Jolm B.

A. H. Colquitt and Hon. John B. Gurdon is full and complete, and we view- With regret the attempts made in some quarters toimpair the usefulness of these eminent Christian statesmen.

Roberts, Chairman- Bolling Whitfield, Secretary. , .. Atlanta, Ga., November7,1879. 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, . A. P. Brown, M. D., (Brother ex-Governor Jos. E. Brown.) m5 wen sun Washington, May 31,1880. 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. A. W. R.

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 lowed to control the property until he should become of age: and that the exec- lar education.

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. Judgment aflinned. : 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. Blount in Twiggs.

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 heapt beyond, the, power even of Blaine’s genius.

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.” When you visit or leave New York city, atop at the Grand Union Hotel, op posite the Grand Central Depot.
