Avgusta Chronicle: One of the cases in the Recorder's court yesterday had three defendants, a very stout colored woman and two colored men, to both of whom she "'as engaged to be married. In the eonrso of tlio matrimony it was dis covered that site was already fast in tlie bonds of matrimony, but had promised to get a divorce in ordei to marry one of the 'defendants.

Cain fett senseless and Finch ran. Mr. Cain soon revived suflicieutly to walk, and re ported it down town. Finch was imrnc- •fii.tely arrested and is now in jail await ing investigation. We are glad to learn shat Mr. Cain is recovering from the TMund, and that it io not likely to prove fatal. Eatonton Messenger: On August Otli, Judge W. A. Reid, chairman of the l’ut- uani delegation in tlie late State conven tion. received a handsome bouquet with the following note: “To Judge Wm. A. Reid, of Eatonton, Ga., with the compli ments of tlie ladies in the gallery, who have the welfare of the Democratic party at heart.” This was a token of apprecia tion by the ladies of the judge’s speech of Saturday, the 7tb, nominating Lawson. ■ Atlanta Post: Last night a Mr. Armstrong of Albany, who lias been in town for the last few days, was robbed of fifty dollars,all tlie money he had with hiiu. Yesterday evening he was around with flume of the boys, who succeeded in get ting hiui for his pile. The parties who did the work are known and will soon be in the liands of the law, to answer the charge of robbery. Augusta .Veres: Holmes Murray, a lit tle Irwin county boy, is said to be a rival ■of Blind Tom. He came to spend soma time with his uncle, Dr. D. Bageley, of Harris county, a short time since. Never having seen a piano before, be desired to know what manner of bedstead it was. The top was raised and explanation made to the little fellow, whereupon he sat down and imniciately played “There is a Happy Land.” The Hamilton Journal says: “The musical talent of the boy had been remarked before by friends, but none were prepared for this seeming intui tion.” Eatonton Messenger: Colonel C. M. WHqy and family, of Macon, are visiting .relatives in tlie town and county. Athens Chronicle: When Jim Saye kept a store at ibe upper end of Broad street, near the RtckSpring.be was badly sold by a colored gentleman. Walking into tlie store with a chicken in his hand, the negro proposed a trade. Of course, Jim was ready, and it was soon agreed that an exchange should be made—fifteen cents worth of sugar was to to given for chicken. Jim placed his chicken in a safe place until the dinner hour, when he gathered it and went home. As soon as hi* wife saw it site said: “Why that is one «f our chickens." J im looked at it closely and, in a slow, hesitating way, said: “1 believe it is.” And so it was. The negro had gone into Jim's chicken yard the previous night and appropriated it. If you want to stir up Jim's dander, ask him About that chicken trade. Eatonton Messenger: Mrs. Suther died at her home in this place on Thursday evening. For a long while she rc.il been variously afflicted and had not been able to leave home for several years, during which period of sickness and suf fering she bore lierself with true Chri- fortitude and patience. Mrs. Suther was about fifty years of age, and for a long time had been a good member of the Methodist clmrch, dying in tlie hope and faith of a home beyond the skies. Under the head of a “A Mistake,” the Atlanta Globe, a new candidate for public favor, says: Mr. il. M. Edge, recently of tlse Jonesboro News, has takeu charge of the Atlanta G'obe, and that paper will now join the Norwood procession. Suc cess to all concerned.—Atlanta Daily Port. Really, this is news! We thank our esteemed contemporary for its valuable information. Tlie information is not cor- Rd. But tlieu it no doubt gave our neighbor a few moments happiness and we are not cruel enough to begrudge it ■that, as it gets so little comfort. No! Our neighbor Is as wide of the curie on this little item as its geueral con duct. Mr. Edge is working with us, it is true, but the Atlanta Globe has not joiued nor will it join the Norwood funeral. Gracious Heaven forbid it! It would be boo lonesome. And these Norwood folks Are too cantankerous—too fussy. No! we ate for Colquitt, first, last, and all the time. He is the best governor Georgia ever had. He is the exemp’ar anil expo nent of temperance, morality and religion. He is the ehiocc of the Democratic party of Georgia for governor.. lie is to-day tho ■strongest popular candidate the people have ever lad before them, and we expect to help elect him triumphantly and over- whetaiogly. Roms Courier: Mr. Joe J. Jones, of Msirtow, was in tlie city yesterday. lie fas always helped Felton, heretofore, but say* tlie doctor is needed at home, aud he tbiukt it best that bis friend and neighbor ■should betake himself to the pulpit again. Joe is a member of the doctor's church, aud thinks his services are needed iu tbs congregation. Rome Tribune: On Friday night last Mr. Henry l’erkins died at Ins home in DeSoto. It w ill be remembered that Mr. Perkins was injured some few months ago by the falling ot an embankment upuu kin, while work excavating iu DeSo to, from tlie effects of which lie never re covered. The funeral took place yester- "Eumukin Independent: For thspast sue weeks Mr. S. S. Everett has been tem- ■oorary contractor for carrying the mail between this point and Cmhbert. He re ed notice on Monday last that the inal contractors had made arrange- for having it carried, aud a team ■> e* sent for it. As the department makes 'Cxaupkiu the starting point, and as the vciseiiule provides for the mail leaving eze every Monday, Wednesday and Fri day mornings, returning the same nights, Lke postmaster objected to delivering the :niil mill Wednesday morning. Tlie C Libert driver objected to tins schedule a>'lie returned on Tuesday morning . ■ ‘xml hi- mail, wo received no mvl or. •es.lar night. Mr. Everett has the N carried promptly sud with gres tract Pj the routes. Hamilton Journal: Every tent on the Warm Springs campground will be occupied at tbe forthcoming meeting, embracing the first Sunday in September. The arbor has been recently covered with cypress shingles and furnished with new seats with backs. Thb makes it one of tlie most comfortable stands in tho cir cuit. Griffin Netcs. It is feared by the friends of our distinguished Senator, Hon. B. H. Hill, that he b threatened with a cancer on his tongue. We greatly hopo that this fear is unfounded. Such an affliction would not only be a severe per sonal affliction, but a national calamity. While we cannot imagine Mr. Ilill as anything hut a great man, still, if the power that has thrilled multitudes of peo ple and charmed Senates should be im paired, it would be almost as Samson shorn of hb locks. Bainbridge Democrat: We have seen a letter from the bridge contractors at Cleveland, Ohio, to Col. Fleming, chairman of county board, to tho effect that cars filled with material for the bridge have been shipped, and will arrive inside of two weeks. A foreman will he here next week to commence the work. The timbers are all ready, and in a few weeks, our long-talked of bridge will be come a reality. Lord, grant it, soon. Valdosta Times: Mrs. Smith, wife of our fellow townsman, Mr. Owen Smith, died at her residence in Valdosta last Thursday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are an aged couple, and were among the first settlers in thb section. They have chidren who have arrived at middle age, and grandchildren grown, and the sever ance now must be severely trying to tlie remaining paituer of so many years of happy wedlock. Mrs. Smith lived to he loved, and died to be regretted by ail who knew her. Savannah Xeics: There will arrive here by the Charleston and Savannah railway to-day, a Wilmington and Wel don railroad car, No. 129, which was loaded at Portsmouth, Va., for Savannah, through without transfer of freight at Wilmington. Heretofore, owing to the change of gauge in the track at Wilming ton, N. C., all freight destined for thb city from the north aud east by rail had to be transferred from one set of cars to another, but now, owing to the use of the transferable trucks on freight cars, there is no further necessity for loading or un loading at Wilmington, and freight will be brought through from Portsmouth, Va., and beyond, to Savannah, without change of cars. The car that will arrive this morning is the first that lias ever come through. By this arrangement the trans portation of freight will be greatly facili tated, and the result will be advantageous to tbe commercial community. Albany Advertiser: Capt. H. G. Turner remained in town last night as the guest of Hon. J. W. Walters, and was called on by a large number of our citi zens, who expressed a sincere desire to have him address the people of Albany, and assured him of the earnest support of every true Democrat In old Dougherty at the coming election. A number of ladies and gentlemen hearing that C3pt. Turner would speak at Mr. Walters’ started arouud to bear him, but were turned by a correction of tbe report. Our people want to get a chance to demonstrate how solid they are for Turner. They are anx ious to have him visit them so all can have the pleasure of meeting him, It may be proper to say that thb was written before it was known that Mr. Spence was to be candidate. Surely the Advertiser frould not ignore an Independent to support an organized Democrat like Capt. Turner! Gbiffin Sun: As will be seen by the announcement in thb issue Hon. F. D. Dbmuke b a candidate for congress to represent tlie fifth district. He will “tote bb own skillet,” and, we suppose, run in dependent of a nomination, though we are not personally advised ot that fact. “Our Fed” b the strongest man in the district so far as the “wool hat boys” are comcerned, and no matter who b nomi nated, Fed will bo very likely to go to Congress as he b not,only personally very popular, but b a whole souled Greenback man, and opposed to the national bank monopoly. Gkiffin Xeics: Mr. C. B. Waldroup, a brother to Bud Waldroup, Who was lynched last Wednesday, says, from the best information be has that tbe state ment that hb brother abused or whipped his wife a few days before lie was killed, b incorrect. He says bb mother was present on Tuesday when Bud Waldroup and bb wife separated, and that the sepa ration was friendly and peaceable, and they agreed to disagree aud part in peace. The two children were given to Mrs. Waldroup. the mother of the deceased. The wisdom of the Indian Spring Argus: A north Georgia widow who jumped off a load ot bay and knocked down a tramp who made fun of her sun-bonnet, had three offers of marriage within a week. Raise boys early—in tlie morning. If they don’t “raise” early, a light dressing of peach tree fertilizer will help them wonderfully. Never deceive a lawyer by lying to liim about your case when be takes it in baud. He cau attend to that branch of tbe busi ness himself a great deal better than you cau. Washington Gazttte: A drunken fellow shot a policeman iu Athens early in the morning of day before yesterday. Tbe policeman was trying to get him to leave town to avoid arrest, when he told the policeman.be would go if lie (the po liceman) would go with him. Agreeing to this proposition, the policeman got some distance with him when the follow drew bb pistol and shot him in the head. The wound b not dangerous, as the ball went along several inches under the skin. Dublin Gazette: Mr. A. J. Ilillburn has takeu the contract to carry the mail from Dublin to Tennille, which lias been stopped for two weeks. Mr. Uiilburu will attend to it to the letter. Augusta Xeics: Mr. Ben Stevens, highly respected young man, was killed at Turner's saw mills, near No. 91, on the Central railroad on Saturday, lib hsad was caught -in the saws and cut completely open. lie lived several hours after the accident. Quitman Free Press: A colored man, name unknown to us, stole one of Dr. Patterson's oxen on Wednesday night last, brought him to town and sold him to Henry McMullen for beef. Henry, think- iug it was all right, was about to 'butcher him, when a messenger from the doctor appeared and laid in hb claim. The thief has been captured and is now in jail. Quitman Free Press: Let no man widen tbe breach iu our State politics, by blaming or quarreling with any man wlio differs front him in the matter. Let all acrimonious arguments and dbputes lie stopped, and let us all engage in a work more important to tho second district, to- wit: the election of H. G. Turner to Con gress. All good Democrats, no matter to which faction they belong, will endeavor to pour oil upon tbe troubled waters. Atlanta Constitution: The minority in the recent convention announced with great vociferousness and in the midst of much gesticulation tliat they were willing to accept any other man than Governor Colquitt; aud yet, when the name of Hon. Thomas G. Lawson, of Putnam, was proposed every man of the minority refused to vote for hiui. Thb fact b suf ficient to expose the pretense of the mi nority. What they desired to do was to break up the convention without a nomination, and their telegram to Dr. Felton, wnile the convention was yet in session, b a further proof or tbcirp-.irposes. Quitman Free Press: It b thought that the present wrangle in Georgia will give birth to another political party. May be so, but we iutend to stick to the old Democracy till something better b invent ed. Indian Springs Argus: Thb office was vbiteJ on Tuesday last by Mrs, 11. J. Lamar, of Macon. Mrs. L. b one of those noble ladies whose heart and soul are ev er riveteJ to tbe acts of doing good deed;, and though she is Immensely rirb, she never forgets to be ckautablc and kind to all she can render pleasure and comfort to.

Spann, which occurred at his residence on West Broad street last night about S o’clock, after a brief illness. The deceased was a native of Savannah, and aged about twenty-eight years. He had served his apprenticeship in the black- smithing department of the Central Rail road workshops, and was in the employ of the company at the time of his death. He was an industrious and worthy young man, and his death wil be lamented by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and three children, besides a mother, brother and sisters to mourn hb los3. His funeral will take place thb afternoon at 4 o'clock. Griffin Sun: Atlanta b onr old home, we spent the greater part of our life there and lore her people, but we- think the political element of that city is entirely too greedy. They want both the organized and independent candidate for Congress from the fifth dbtrict. Last year both candidates were residents of Atlanta and Hammond was elected, now we think it nothing but fair that Spalding should have a little showing this time. She has, with the lower counties, been ruled out by the Atlanta politicians long enough. Hon. F. D. Dbmuke is one of the most liberal minded men in the State, and will receive more support from middle and lower Georgia than any man Atlanta can put up at thb time. The gentlemen in Atlanta who propose to run are all clever and capable meu, and wc should delight to help honor them, but just at thb time we think they would un doubtedly fail to unite the Independent vote as Dismukecan against tho nomiuee, whoever he may be. Savannah Xeics: On tlie 9th of Feb ruary last, at a large meeting of the col ored people of this county, a committee was appointed to look alter the entire In terests of the colored people in the freed- roan’s bank. Tbe committee have been at work, aud, it will be recollected,for* warded an appeal to Hon. John C. Nicb- olb, from this district, to give hb support to the bill which was introduced iu Con gress by Congressman M. P. O’Connor, of Charleston, S. C. The announcement made in the Morning Xeics a few days since that the commissioners of the bank were paying ten per cent, ot tbe deposits to depositors lias excited at tention, and the committee have called a mass meeting of the colored people, to be held at Mclntire Hall, on Friday evening next, the 27th inst., to take such action in the premises as may be deemed best. _ In formation on the subject will be given, and measures will be offered whereby tbe money can be secured for the depositors without the expense of paying a collector. Several parties will address the meeting, and after thb matter has been disposed of, a series of resolutions will be offered pledging the support of the colored peo ple to Hon. A. H. Colquitt, for governor. The call states that no one will be allowed to speak except on invitation in writing from the secretary. Atlanta Post: Thb morning a war rant was sworn out by a prominent citizen who resides on Peachtree street, against a responsible business man, charging bim with malicious mischief. The circum stances which caused the issuing of the warrant are about as follows: Out near Baker street, and in tbe rear of Peachtree, a gentleman Las a brick yard, around which there is no enclosure whatever. One night last week a dog, in passing over tlie yard, spoiled quite a number of bricks, and in order to revenge himself, and Drevent a repetition of the deed, it is asserted that the gentleman purchased a quantity of beef and an abun dance of arsenic, and covering the meat with the poison, placed it about promiscu ously in lus brick yard. It is even asserted that he placed the meat on elevated places, in order that the night air might carry the scent further and ipvite the dogs from a greater distance, liut be that as it may, the bait had the desired effect. On Thursday morning six dead dogs lay scattered over that brick yard, and tho neighborhood was alive with sick ones. Qu Finlay and Saturday night the dose was repeated, and about twenty dogs in all have passed in their checks. Among the number are some valuable dogs belonging to the citizens who reside in that section of the city, and whose indignation b great at the inhu man and cruel act. They severely de nounce the work and assert their inten tion ot prosecuting the proprietor to the extent of tlie law. The Eistman Times ha: a correspond ent at Mt. Vernon who pays a compliment ty one ot Macon’s fair daughters: Wo are happy to say to you and your readers, that our good old county 3eems to be somewhat revived on the subject of education. We have bad several fine vchoos in our midst this year, one particu larly, iuthe Adamsville settlement, taught by the accomplished Mbs Lumpkin, one of Maoon's fairest and loveliest daughters. Indeed, she is a perfect little jewel to any section or country; finely educated, a grad uate, we believe, oftbo Wesleyan Female College—energetic, high-toned, splendid ly qualified to teach music; in fact, she is just one of the iudispensablcs to our part of the vineyard, and we are plotting now to take her away from Macon entirely. It is true Mt. Vernon is not quite as large as Macon, but when it comes to age I guess Macon will have respect for us, and thereby yield to our demands without force of arms. Miss Lumpkin was em ployed by Geo. W. Adams, Esq., to teach in his own family, but others subsequently joined the school. Mr. Adams speaks iu very high t**rms of thb young lady as an instructress, both in music and literature, aud I believe it is generally conceded that when old man “Wash” puts them down as A No. 1 they generally pass. We be speak for Miss Lumpkin a bright and suc cessful future in her undertakings. She left us on the 13th inst., and will be away perhaps a month. Wo cannot bnt allude to tbe fact, that the course pursued, an exam ple set forth hy thb young lady fully estab lishes the truth that it cnly requires pluck and energy in the young women of our country to becomo independent and self- austaining. Mbs L. b an orphan, with no relatives, except a grandmother, who lives in Macon, and she goes forth into the world, modestly, yet bravely, demand ing that which she has a right to—a just compensation for her worth and talent ; and from a generous, well-meaning peo ple, she will ever receive it. Talbottox Register: Hon. Samuel Hall, of Macon, and Col. Willb Haw kins, of Americas, are prominently men tioned in connection with the position on tbe Suprems bench, made vacant by the resignation of Chief Justice Warner. Columbus Tunes: Mr. John D. High tower, a most estimable young man about twenty-five years of age. died at hb home in Stewart county last Friday of pneumo nia. He was a son of the sheriff of Stew art county, and a son-in-law of Mr. T. C. Johnson. , Rome Courier: Col. S. B. Sales, prominent aud popular citizen of our county, has been afflicted by loss of sight for some time from cataract of both eyes. Last Friday Dr. Battey performed an operation on one eye, and yesterday Col. S. was reported as doing yery well. We wbb him a speedy recovery. We find the following dispatch In the Augusta Xeics: Gueeksboro, August 24.—Col. Miles W. Lowb died thb morning, suddenly, at 9 o'clock, at his residenceat Woodlawu, 8 miles below Greensboro, of angina pec toris. Dwelling Hotse Burned.—New- inan Herald: On Thursday night last about 10 o'clock, the residence of Mr. Thomas Parks, a few miles from tills city, was discovered to be on fire in the cook room adjoining the dwelling. It had got such headway that the building, house hold furniture, and almost everything it contained were soon consumed by the flames, and reduced to ashes. The house wita a new two story frame building, re cently built and furnished, and had been o-.icupied by the family but a few weeks. The family had retired early and were all asleep unconscious of danger, when they were aroused with some difficulty by a negro mau ou the premises, .and Mr. Parks, his wife and two children just had time to escape from tlie burning building with their lives. We understand that Mr. Parks' loss bv fire amounts to be oftnow. Sbo is iu fact a lady tween three and four theurand dollars, ie of the word. I No insurance. Savannah Xeics: Yesterday morning early it was reported that a young man named Charles Schellwien, employed as clerk in the drug establishment of Lippman & Bro., southwest corner of Barnard and Congress streets, had com mitted suicide in hb room, at No. Co Gastoq street. Inquiry revealed the fact that the report was true, and on investi gation, we ascertained that the young man had been at the store on Saturday at tending to his usual duties until the closing hours, and had been seen on the street late Sunday afternoon. There was nothing in hb manner to indicate th>t he was troubled or depressed, and bis em ployers are at a loss to assign a cause that could Lave induced him to take his life. He was of social dbposition, attentive to hb duties, was not a partaker of intoxi cating liquors, and was, seemingly, satis fied with his condition. He had been in the employ of Messrs. Lippman it Bros.- for about six months, and came here from Jacksonville, Fla. He was a German by birth and a single man, and so far as known, had ne family connections in the South. Savannah Recorder: Yesterday af ternoon, about four o’clock, tlie cook of an English ship, lying near the Central railroad wharf, took a large aud valua ble Newfoundland dog, a great favorite with tho captain, and, goiDg to the canal, near tbe bridge, threw sticks in the water for the dog to swim after. A crowd of over one hundred assembled to watch the antics of tbe dog, and witness bb delight while in the water. While carrying a stick to the cook, the dog suddenly disap peared, and was seen no more, and, al though the distracted man offered five and ten dollars to any one who would recorer the body of the dog, no one would at tempt it, as they thought his disappear ance was caused by au alligator, as sev eral have been seen in the vicinity lately. The dog was a fine specimen, and highly prized by its owner. Savannah Xeics: Mr. John Brantley, of Johnson county, was brought to the city yesterday on a warrant issued by tbe United States commissioner of internal revenue, E. C. Wade, charging bim with illicit distilling. He was taken before United States Commissioner Beckett, and a hearing was entered into, and, after tbe taking of some testimony, was continued Until to-day. Talbotton Register: Died, on Friday last, after a protracted sickness, Mrs. Sa rah Lumpkin, consort of Richard Lump kin. She was a lady of sterling worth and much beloved by a large circle of friends. Hon. A. O. Bacon.—Americus Re corder: Over two hundred ot the best citizens of Bibb county have petitioned thb gentleman to allow the use of hb name as a candidate for the legislature, grounding their request upon the impor tant duties devolving npon that body tbe coming session, in reply Mr. Bacon says: “Coming from so large a number of my fellow citizens, whom I have served for years past, such a request b not only ap preciated, but must be regarded by me as equivolent to a command. I therefore reply, that if nominated and elected to the house of representatives, I will cheer fully serve the county as a member.” We do not wonder at tbe unanimous desire for tbe return of tlib gentleman. For a decade. Bibb has honored herself, in honoring him. lib talents and ser vices are best appreciated by the members of the legislature, with whom he has ever been popular. Many of the next general assembly will desire to extend his sphere of useiulness by placing bim in the na tional Senate. Atlanta Post: A delegation of Ma con citizens consisting of S. T. Coleman, W. E. Flanders, D. B. Jones, T. D. Tins ley, N. E. Harris and Clifford Anderson reached Atlanta yesterday for the pur pose of laying certain grievances before the board of railroad commissioners re lative to discriminations iu freight in favor of Savannah and against Macon. Tlie case will be presented to tbe com missioners by N. E. Harris and Clifford Anderson. The complaint, it b said, is that with the present rates through freights to Savannah from Americus, Fort Valley and other points similarly located on the same as from Macon to Savannah. AH that the committee wants b be allowed equal rates and no discrimination. Tbe difference b said to be from 12 to 20 cents per hundred pounds. Thb difference b made by lowering tlie rates to Savannah from points on the Macon and Western and Southern railroads. The committee desires either a redac tion to Savannah from Macon aud Atlan ta, or an increase from local points. The matter, it is thought, will be satbfactorily settled to-day, as the situation is now pretty well understood by the commis sioners as well as the parties interested. Dupont Guerry, Mayor J. B. Felder, Allen Fort and W. A. Hawkins are in the city, for tho purpose of presenting certain claims to the board of railroad commis sioners. Mr. Fort says that all that Americus wants b to be placed upon the same footing with Macon m tlie matter of through rates to Savannah via Macon. The commissioners will have to find some midway grounds upon which to land so as to satisfy the conflicting interest of the contesting delegations from Americus aud Macon. Hon. Allen Fort and Colonel Hawkins will present the claims of the Americus delegation. From the Vienna department of the Americus Recorder we clip the following: Quite au unfortunate accident occurred on the plantation of Mr. Andrew Brox- ton, on Friday morning last. A force of liands were engaged in repairing an old gin housC on the premises, and had just succeeded in placing new silb in position on the upright posts, on which the gin house was built, when one of the corner posts was pushed out of place by the sud den giving way of the liut room adjoiuing, and the whole structure came to the ground, burying six men in the debris. Mr. G. Quattlebaum was caugbt between two sills and had bis right leg from tlie knee up, and hb left arm crushed to a pulpy mass, besides sustaining other bruises. He is now lying in a critical condition. Mr. Jerry Broxton was severely injured about the head and arms. Paul English, colored, sustained a fracture iu the dorsal region of the. spinal column, which will disable him ifor life. Three other negroes were more or less injured. Tho accident b attributed to carelessness in the detaib of the work by tbe men employed, so we are informed.

Lamar, Rankin A Lamar— Gentlemen : Knowing the component parts of Brewer's Lung Restorer, I do not hesitate to say that in my belief it b the best remedy for consumption, bronchitis and othei throat and lung diseases, ever discovered, and I take pleasure in recom mending it to all who require such a medicine.

The Republican State executive com mittee met at the court-house yesterday, to consider a recall of the order for a gu bernatorial convention. The meeting was slimly attended, hut there were enough present to constitute a quorum. The ad visability of a convention was fully db- cussed, and it was decided that it would, at thb late date, be impolitic to withdraw the order for a convention. - It b not likely, however, that the con vention will nominate a candidate for governor, the negroes are in the majority, and will control the convention; they do not favora nomination bnt will follow the lead of Jeff Long and W. A. Pledger. The white Republicans desire a candidate, and if they cany their point, the negroes threaten to pnt np the blackest they can find. Tbe convention meets in Atlanta on the 7th proximo.

We were taken in chaige by Mr. George Rosenfield, who explained to us the ar rangement of goods upon the first floor, and pointed out the vast stacks of wool- ens, jeans, prints, dress anil heavy goods which filled up the space. Thb firm has within the last three days sold and billed out over forty thousand dollars ($40,000) worth of goods. In one day the sales amounted to $16,000. It carries a stock in the building valued at from $250,000 to $300,000, and employs seven drummers npon the roads of Geor gia, Florida and Alabama. Including their stock of hats and clothing on Mulberry street, their stock b valued at nearly half a million dollars, and so great b the de mand for room, that the firm has been compelled to store goods at warehouses about the city. Passmgup stairs we met Mr. Dixon who very kindly undertook to explain the bal ance of the establbhmcnt to us. The second floor,, which covers the space usu ally alloted to two or three stores, is di vided up by arches, and sub-divided by counters and partitions. It b absolutely crammed full of goods from coiner to comer; goods apparently strewn about recklessly, yet, as is proved by a close in spection, arranged with the utmost care in its divisions and classes, until any employe of the firm might at a mo ment's notice place 1ns hand upon any line of goods on the whole floor. Beginning at the end of a long row of counters, which are set crossways in the rooms, we pass along, attempting a sched ule of their contents as we move. The first contains cuff buttons in every variety and style, for we are now in the general notion department. The second—Collar buttons, shirt studs, watch chains, rings, etc. Third—Ladies’ sets of jewelry, plated and jet. Fourth—Jet ornaments, toilet articles, jewelry, etc. Fifth—Necklaces of every description, glass and otherwise. Sixth to fourteenth—Ribbons, fancy and plain, bread and narrow, and every col or under tbe sun. Next—Combs of turquoise for tucking, hair brushes, covering two or three tables. Two table loads of perfumeries, from the “Wildbrier” up-to the “Jockey Club,” and other tables loaded down with a hun dred varieties of soaps. - On both sides ot these counters are shelf goods picked to the ceiling, aud embracing everything known to the trade. Near at hand we found an immense as sortment of toilet powders. Beyond, line of pocket cutlery, for the firm deal in the celebrated brands—“Challenge; “Buntings,” “Staniforths,” and “Wos- tenholms,” the latter the best line of goods in the market. They also deal largely in Wade & Batcher's, and Rodgers’ razors, and carry a full stock of table cutlery. Upon the same shelves, which seemed al most inexhaustible, we found large and complete assortments of scissors, shears, pistols, cartridges, caps, and clocks, pipes of many different styles, briarwood predominating, buttons by the million, threads, and hundreds of Yankee notions, a description of which would fill columns. We saw, also, beau tiful cabinets of walnut for holding thread, cologne, etc., for display in country stores. These are presented to customers. Add to our list a fine display of pocket-books, and the reader can get a faint idea of one department on the second floor. Passing under an archway, we find our- selves in another and equally well ar ranged department. On the shelves and counters we see Ladies’ and misses’ fancy hose in all colors, styles and tints, sufficient to para lyze a young and modest man. One whole division is devoted to bal- briggans. We came next to a section filled np en tirely by white hose, and a cross section in which was displayed over one hundred different styles of ladies’ hose, there being on hand enough apparently to supply every islander in the western Pacific. Upon the counters in this department we found also large lines of suspenders, embracing everything from the old-fash ioned one-button “gallus” down to the patent brace of ISS0. The display of cra vats, ties and scarfs, were exceptionally fine, covering everything known to tbe trade. ~ ^ * Beyond these were terrace npon terrace of ladie's ties, fischus, collars, culls, ruff- lings, ruches, Hamburg edgings and laces. This last division of ladies’ goods filled a large portion of the space in.this depart ment. One whole side is given up entirely to handkerchiefs, of which there seems to have been no limit; everything m that line was displayed—cambric, linen and silks of all patterns. Near at hand were corsets displayed in the most careless manner, but the reporter only staggered and passed along without attempting a description. Passing under the arches again, we came into still another department, and beneld an elegant display of white goods, towels, Irish linens, table linens, lawns, nainsooks, etc., ete., indefinitely. In.this department also is stored a full and com plete line of umbrellas and parasols. Farther along the line lay shirts, under shirts, underwear piled up and packed under until it was impossible to see how much there was of it. Onr guide thought there was enough, however, to clad every voter in Bibb county. The stationery department is also locat ed here and embraced everything neces sary to equip a first-class stationer. Passiug up a flight of stairs we come in among the shawls, cloaks, dolmans, skirts, and balmorals, piled up in every direc tion, and beyond them lay tranks, valis es, and stacks of wrapping paper and paper hags, until tbe eye wearies with beholding, and tbe hand with recording. Such is a brief discription of the con tents of one of the largest establishments in the country. Its full extent can better be appreciated by remembering that, from its stock as it now stands, a hundred country stores could be fully equipped. Waxelbaum & Bro., have an extended and enviable reputation 'through tbe country before described, and the credit of tbe firm is unbounded. Tne employes of the establishment are celebrated for their industry and attention to business, by the combined establishments of Waxel- baum & Bro. and the retail firms adjoin ing him on both sides. It is such business centres as these that attract to Macon much of the trade that formerly went to New York. Parse East.

A large crowd assembled at the park yesterday to witness a race between Har- baum’s mare ahd Shinholster’s borst. The race was a quarter of a mile dash, and was won by Shinholster’s horse by a neck and about forty yards. Much enthu siasm was manifested and many bets made. Detuned. We are pleased to announce that Mr.M. G. Schwed, of the firm of Schwed, Siesel & Gibian, after an absence of several months on a visit to “fatherland,” has re turned safely and in perfect health. Mr. Schwed is one of the little army of self-made men who, by unswerving integ rity and indomitable energy, from small beginnings have advanced to the top of the mercantile ladder. His house is one of the most prosperous and reliable in the city. After reaching New York, he pro ceeded to purchase an immense stock of family and staple groceries, which will he duly offered shortly to the readers of the Telegraph and Messenger. It may not be amiss to state also that Mr. Schwed brought home with him a large importation of Rhine wine, which will doubtless be In active demand. He had not seen his aged parents for fifteen years, and the meeting can better be im agined than described.

The following special to the Savannah Morning Xeics contains another grain of comfort to some of our colored friends: “The commissioners of the Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company have declared dividend of ten per cent., and will commence paying tbe seme on the 18th of September next. Payments will be made as heretofore upon the presentation of passbooks or other evidence of the com pany's indebtedness on the United States treasury. The amount required to pay this dividend is $298,338.29, which, added to the thirty per cent, heretofore declared, and special deposits paid, aggregates the sum of $1^5S^*3C.47, divided^among the 6,100 creditors of the thirty-three branches of the company.
