THE GEORGIA PBESS. . Albany, up to the 3d of September, had received 2,077 bales of cotton, and shipped 1738, and expects to receive in September 8,00Q bales more. A correspondent of the Arlington Advance is certainly demoralized. He says all the cotton nearly will be gather ed in Clay county by the 1st of October, and yet he says two-thirds of a crop •will be gathered. Mrs. Charles Crawford, of Madi son, died on last Thursday. She was an estimable lady and greatly beloved Hon. Joshua Hill has just returned from Washington City. He says it de pends upon what company you keep, as to who is to be elected president. Col. Emmett Womack’s house was burned in Oxford on last Sunday. Loss $2,000. At a Thomas county mass meeting held on last Wednesday, the following gentlemen were unanimously nominated for the legislature: Captain N. M. Ham mond and Captain H. M. Sapp. The counties of Brooks and Thomas seem to have gotten into a muddle about their Senator, and two conventions are on hand. This is to be deplored. Mr. Kinchen I. Taylor, living near Boston, Thomas county, died on the 1st instant. He was a prominent citizen and a prosperous planter. Col. A. L. Hawes, of Baker county, was nominated as Senator in the ninth Senatorial district. Mr. Samuel Brown, of Morgan dead. So also is Mrs. A. G. Granger, of Blakeley. E. P. S. Denmark, of Brooks, was nominated as Senator in the ninth district. A sian by the name of Shaw stole ' mule from Henry Giles, of Quitman, was caught, proved himself insane, and has gone home to Tennessee. Columbus has ten cotton and woolen mills. The Eagle and Phoenix mills sold last week five hundred bales of Rescue and Carolina plaids. A thief entered the residence of Mrs. Moore, aud stole from a trunk S173, be longing to Mrs. Nancy Ellis. Suspicion rests upon Needham Moore. A lad of thirteen and a young lady of thirty-eight ran off and were married in Harris county. The Stale University has received as contribution to its museum a rib aud joint of a whale’s backbone. Judge James Boggs, of Camilla, was re-nominated for State Senator at Bain- bridge the other day. He is a good and true man. The house of Capt. L. J. Gilmartin, of Savannah, was entered by a burglar on Friday morning. He was discovered, and retired with a bullet in his leg. The Cedartown Advertiser says that about the biggest title Norwood is likely to possess for awhile is that of “ex-Sena- tor.” Berrien County News: In an article on the first page over the signature ofj. R. Respess it will be seen that he attempts to throw tho responsibility of a failure to nominate a governor upon that part ot the convention known as the majority. He falls in upon the idea that the Colquitt men being in tho majority, could have nominated anyone else they would select, and that the minority made quite a con cession by offering to give up their prefer ence. Now their preference was to defeat Colquitt and that was all tlio preference they had, and to accomplish it they were willing to see no nomination made. Their proposition to the majority estab lishes that fact. Augusta News: The steamer Katie was delayed yesterday afternoon be yond her usual leaving time, at the re quest of Mr. H. P. Moore, to take on a large horizontal boiler, with engine top, which, mounted on a four-mule wood wagon, was about to be delivered to the boat, when, in making a short turn to back to the deck, the engine was over turned and fell to the wharf, breaking the large fly wheel, governor aud other parts of the engine, aud staving in a few planks of the wharf, causing a loss of about a hundred dollars. A Call on Hill—Atlanta Consti tution: Last night a large and enthusias tic crowd, headed by a brass band, went down to the Nelms house and gave Hon. Beqj. H. Ilill a serenade. In response to loud and vociferous calk, Mr. Hill ap peared on the balcony and excused him self about as follows: “My friends, I thank you for this demonstration to-niglit,.and I _ would gladly gi vo my views on the great ' issues of the day, but I am in the midst of a great legal effort, which unfits me for anything like a speech. I am wearied from a long appeal to the jury in an im portant case, and trust you will pardon me if I do not respond to your highly complimentary call. [Cries of “Give us a little about Mr. Norwood!” “Norwood!” “We know you are for Norwood!” etc.; I think, gentlemen, that Mr. Hancock wii be elected. I confidently believe it, aud a great revolution in our administration will take place. [Cries of “Norwood!” “Give us one word about the gubernato rial contest!” “O, we know Hancock is all right—give us something about Mr. Norwood!”] It is my opinion that Mr. Hancock will take his seat.” After de clining to discuss the state issues, Mr. Hill thanked the crowd again for the en thusiastic demonstration aud bade them good night. The crowd then gave three cheers for Mr. Hill, and assembled on Hill street, where a few remarks were made by other gentlemen. The serenade last night was a splendid tribute to the man whom a people delight to honor. Early County Nem: A good many lawyers are supporting Norwood. And, reader, have you taken notice how lawyer like they arc conducting the campaign? Did you evar notice a shrewd lawyer in his efforts to get illegal testimony before a jury ? “If your honor please, I desire the court to hear the answer of the witness, and if his testimony is found to be illegal your honor can forbid its going before the jury.” “The witness can answer,” says the judge. The witness does answer, and when the answer comes it is found to be illegal, and is ruled out; but what docs the lawyer care for that; his object is accomplished—an impression has been made on the jury, aud that is all he was alter. So it is with the Norwood man agers of this campaign. They make any sort of a charge, no matter how fallacious, against Colquitt’s administration, know ing that it cannot be contradicted short of one day, and in many cases not short of a week; and they rely upon the unfavorable impression it will make against Colquitt before it can be checked iu its malicious work. The following is taken from the pro ceedings cf a Colquitt meeting in Colum bus, and the meeting was composed of the best citizens oi the city. When the club was organized three lists of names were presented, one of 170 by Col. H. Bussey, one of 14S by Col. Burts, and one of 112 by G. E. Thomas, making a total of 420. The Eatonton Messenger contains the following sensible words, and we com mend them to our readers: At the meeting on Thursday night of the Colquitt club, Dr. J. A. Ethridge wisely mapped out the course of the club for the campaign. “Let us,” he said, “be zealous in the cause, aud do what we consistently can for the re-election of Gov. Colquitt; but let us not forget that the Norwood supporters in the county are i or friends and our fellow-citizens; let us no. by indiscretion and enthusiasm do anything that might cause bad feelings between us that will not l*e effaced prob ably in a long time. Let the campaign on our side be conducted in an open,! houses hospitably opened to them by kind ! ed that the colored man would never ac- straichtforward and manly way, w ithout friends in the city. After being refreshed quire any wealth. . ” xr- Vnrmmit with breakfast, the Grand Lodge will Yes. and we ki heaping maledictions upon Mr. Norwood and his supporters.” Valdosta Tunes: The Telegraph is an earnest supporter of Governor Colquitt, and has been very severe upon Norwooi and the minority. We are glad to see it tempering down. It has come almost to our position. After the election of Governor Colquitt, the Georgia Democracy will be solid, and this feverish excitement ended. Savannah News: The crew of the steamer David Clark have lately been thoroughly drilled in order to be prepared for any emergency, fire or other accident. Last night, as the steamer was coming up the river, an alarm of fire was sounded, and was promptly responded to by the crew, each taking liis post quickly, and in an incredibly short time the decks were deluged with water. The passengers were notified that the alarm would he sonnded, and were anxious to witness the exhibi tion, but bad to move around lively to get out of the way of the water throwers. The crew acquitted themselves well. TnE farmers of Oglethorpe county have level heads. The Echo says: Our farm ers are opposed to inviting either of the gubernatorial record-slingers to orate In Lexington. They say the negroes are quiet and orderly now, taking no hand in politics, but if we introduce these boom- ists into our midst all is lost. There is a good deal of sound logic in that argu ment, and we think it best for both aspi rants to attend to their business and let the voters of Georgia settle the matter without further aid from them. Albany Advertiser: General A. R, Lawton, of Savannah, showed up Col quitt’s administration, last night, in Ma con. Six thousand people were out to hear him, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed in favor of Norwood. Whew 1 how the .thing grows as It rolls. We presnme the young man intended to say 600, which would be about correct. Oglethorpe Echo: Mr. George B, Lumpkiu has perfected his tire-tightener, and it works on an entirely different plan to any now iu use. It is a fixture to ev ery wheel, and the set can be tightened in four minutes. It is one of the grandest things out, and it is bound to revolution ize the business. It will not cost over three dollars and is simplicity itself. Oglethorpe Echo: Southern farm ers think they lower their dignity if they sell anything less than com or cotton. This is foolish pride. Tbs Yankees make their money by retailing articles that our people give away. It is just as honorable to sell apiut of milk or a mess of snap beans as a bale of cotton. There is a widow lady in this county who has paid tor a good home since the war and raised a family of children by selling fruits, vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter and like small articles. When our plan ters learn to make every nickel count, they may expect to cope with the North, Savannah News: Mrs. C. M. Ryan, wife of Mr. Patrick Ryan, died quite sud denly at her residence, 87 Montgomery street, yesterday morning. Site had puerperal fever, but the symptoms were not considered dangerous, and her death was entirely unexpected. Mrs. Ryan was a veiy estimable lady, and was highly thought of among a large circle of friends. She leaves several children, among them Mr. Charles F. Wfceelan, marine reporter of the Morning News. Her funeral will take place this afternoon at half-past two o’clock. Americus Recorder: Mr. J. O. Wil kinson, writing us from Terrell, says: The outlook for a good in-gathering of crops is at present very good. Com is cured, and I think there is enough made in these parts to do without the aid of shipped com. If the worms will stay off a little longer, the cotton crop will be very fine, but 1 bear the cry of caterpillar from all quarters. Farmers seem to be iu very good spirits as yet. Savannah News: The Noiwoodites are bragging about the “large number” of Norwood clubs which are being formed. True, in two or three cities of Georgia some few young men have organized themselves into Norwood clubs, put on the 6th of October it will be found that there is in Georgia a club for Colquitt bigger than all the other clubs put to gether. It is composed of a vast majority of the voters of the State, and is known as the Georgia Democracy. The Augusta News has the following mining news, and shows that Georgia is looking up in this particular, if she is dis tracted politically: On tha strength of these fine reports and the prospects of the mine, the Ma gnifier Mining Company of Georgia was formed a few days since, in New Yoik city, during the visit of Major George T. Jackson aud Mr. Marion J. Verdery to the metropolis. The company was incor porated under the laws of New York State, and a charter obtained thereunder for fifty years. The capital stock was fixed at SI,000,- 000, and divided into 100,000 shares at a par value of $10 each. The stock of the company is non-assessable, and the prin cipal oflice of the company is at 113 Broadway, room 19, New York. Only a small amount of this stock is for sate, aud the marketing of it will be iu the hands of the treasurer of the com pany, and is now for sale at the broker age rooms of Messrs. M. J. Verdery & Co., on the corner of Broad and Eight streets, Augusta. The officers of the company are wei selected, able and prominent gentlemen, a id all well known in New York, Au gusta aud financial and commercial circles. A majority of the officers are tc New York, and the list is as follows : President, Geo. T. Jackson. Secretary, Frank M. Deems, M.D. Treasurer, M. J.'Verdery. Superintendent aud manager, Jobu M. Stew art, M. D. Trustees: Chas. F. Deems, D.D..LL.D., New Yosk; Jas. Kitchen, New York; John M. Stewart, M. E-, New . York; Judge Wm. Schley, New York; M. J. Verdery, Augusta, Ga.; A. J. Requier, Esq., New York; Geo. T. Jackson, Au gusta. The superintendent and manager of the company, Mr. Jno. M. Stuait is now in New York contracting for nec essary machinery and additional appli ances, aud will be at the mines tc» take formal cbaige as superintendent this we ek Savannah News: Some weeks since we gave an account ol an attempt to rob the slore of Dr. \V. B. Burroughs at Wayuesvillc, Ga., on July 29th, aud the desperate attempt of the robber upon Mr. H. Loweulhal. Mr. L., who belongs to tbi: city, arrived here on Saturday^, The robber made six attempts' to cuter, the window, aud each time wa3 repulsed by Mr. L., who attempted to shoot him with his gun, which from some cause failed to go off. During Lite inter vals between the thief’s assaults he- hurled blocks of wood through thtf open window, knocking Mr. Lowenthal down every time. At one time he succeeded in get ting iulo the place far enough to secure the money-box, but had to drop it under Mr. L.’s attacks. Finding that he could not safely accomplish his object in this way, he ran around and entered by the door, which was still open, and lushed upon Mf. Lowenthal, who gave him a whack across the head with the gnu, when the negro decamped. The night was dark and rainy, and though there was consid erable noise for a half hour, no one could hear the fracas. Mr. Lowenthal is a small, delicate man, but bis bruises show that he is the right man to stand up In such a fight, it was no surrender with him. The negro has not yet been capt&red, but since the fight the store has been destroyed by fire, from Which Mr. Lowenthal hail an other narrow escape. Albany Advertiser: The plantation of Mr. Walter Breitenback was, last night, the scene of a cold-blooded murder. Abe Davis shot aud killed Westly Cercy, both colored, it was the finale of a difficulty that had been brewing for weeks.

Atlanta Post-Appeal: A few nights aince Mrs. Francis, who lives a short dis tance beyond the rolling-mill, was aroused Irorn her slumber by feeling some one tugging away at the pillow up on which her head was lying. When she opened her eyes she bgfcela a negro attempting to get possession of her pocket book which was under the pillow. Mre. Francis showed fight, and grappled the negro. With one hand she held him, while with the other she struck a match The negro after making several efforts got away from Mrs. Francis aud escaped through the window. Mrs. F. thinks she knows who the negro was. Griffin News: in justice to Mr. Norwood, and that is precisely what we try to give every man, we will state that lie said on the stand to-day that the as sertion of Mr. Norcross in the Republi can convention in Griffin, in reference to any promises being made by him or his friends to Mr. Norcross, or anybody else, that if the Republicans support him for governor, that his friends would assist them in electing some Republicans to the legislature, or that'they would divide the spoils with them, is false. He said he never had any conversation with Mr, Norcross about the matter. He also con demned the ‘convict catechism’ because contains things that are not true. To exhibit how things look through different spectacles, we copy the follow ing about the Griffin joint discussion on last Saturday. We quote first from the Sun: Mr. Norwood responded in a speech of two hours in which he literally tore Gov ernor Colquitt’s official record into tatters, and showed the governor’s administra tion, including his defaulting officials, up in their true colors. Suffice it to say the Norwood men are satisfied that they had glory enough for one day and Colquitt, artful dodger that he is, is no match for Mr. Norwood with the truth and facts so potently on his side. The News looks at the matter in this light: Colonel T. W. Flint, who was a Nor wood man, says he never heard a man get such a thrashing on the stump in his life as Colquittgave Norwood. Hundreds of others agree with Colonel Flint. We heard of se.eral changes to Colquitt hut not one to Norwood. The friends of Col quitt are more tli-n satisfied with the day’s work, and when the election comes off old Spalding will roll up a majority of from 300 to 700 majority lor Colquitt, one of the grandest, purest and best meu in Georgia. Mr. Norwood was cheered oc casionally, but liis speech made votes for Governor Colquitt. At the close of Mr. Norwood’s speech Governor Colquitt arose amidst loud and continuous ap plause, and as soon as quiet could be re stored, lie commenced, and for one-half hour he poured hot shot and shell into Mr. Norwood so fast that it brought the gentleman to his feet several times. Oglethorpe Echo: A while back white man was working in the same field with an old negio named Larkin, aud, en raged by some insolent remark, jerked up his hoe and, striking Larkin on the head, burst the eye of the”hoe open, but did not, in the least, injure the negro, who went on working as before. Americus Recorder: The papers are saying a good deal about the hissing of fered General Gordon, during his late speech in Columbus. The good people of that city are in no way responsible for it. The offense given emanated from one or two of the “young Democracy” around whom the hopes of Mr. Norwood are now so fondly centering. The Convict Catechism.—Americus Recorder: This notable document, dis pensed so liberally all over the country by our Norwood friends, instead of a boom, turns out to be a boomerang. That darkey pictured on the first page with his bail and chain is so frightful that our col ored friends are unwilling for the world to believe that any one of their number, at home or in *tlie penitentiary, ever looked so badly. The matter has been entirely overdone, and the catechism is re coiling and striking back in a manner not desired by the opposition organs. Mf. Norwood himself, as well as his papers, finds it necessary to disclaim its paternity or any knowledge thereof. Not only is the aforesaid picture an affront to handsome colored men, but two other facts have been brought to light. One Is that convicts are frequently so well satisfied with their surroundings as to leave unwillingly when their time is out; and again, that if there are defects in the law and instances of abuse, Gov ernor Colquitt is not the responsible party, Monroe Advertiser: One of our mer chants, who is a large dealer in provis ions, says th3 farmers have gone into debt to a smaller amount this year than for any year since he has been in business. Tiie cotton crop is a good one, and if the present prices continue, we confidently look for the debt-burdened people to once more be relieved. Columbus Enquirer: A warrant was taken out for Mrs. Moore, as well as her son, Needham Moore, for the money that was lost by Mrs. Nancy Ellis Saturday. When Mrs. Moore was arrested by the bailiffher children were very much exer cised about it, and said they would bor row the money end make it good. They soon brought in 8172, the amount stolen, and the prisoners were released. Sylvania Telephone: Scriven has at length determined to get rid of the great est curse ever visited upon any county, and fall into liiife witli the many counties that fiavE 'driven the liquor traffic without their borders. Emanuel county led off in the matter, and was quickly followed by Montgomery and, we think, Johnson. Next came Bul loch. the banner county, and Scriven has now joined the ranks. It is very gratify ing to us that the wiiegrass region is tak ing the initiative in this grand temperance 'move, which is sweeping over the Empire State of the South with almost ir resistible force, and wc hope the day Is not far distant when not one bar-room will be left to corrupt and contaminate the youths of our sunny land. The vote iu the election held last week was: Whisky 223; No Whisky 505. Col. J. L. Singleton was nominated for the legislature in Scriven county at the recent primary election. Americus Recorder: Doc. Jackson, a colored man on Tom. McGarrab’s place, went out on Saturday afternoon last after white oak. Not returning he was search ed for and found lying dead on his back with an ax in one hand and the wbiteoak in the other.- The jury of inquiry returp- ed a verdict of death from an unknown cause. Monroe Advertiser: At the regular meeting of the city council on yesterday (Monday) tho following order was pawed: “That a meeting of the citizens and tax payers of Foray th be called to meet on next Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, ill the .court house, to discuss the proprie ty of issuing bonds to raise money to complete tiie female college building-” Milledgeville Recorder: Mr. Nor wood said the negro was an unprofitable tree—cut him down. One negro in Meriwether county will make Ibis year 100 bales of cotton and a of provisions for himself and And yet some politicians predict- Yes, and we know a negro man and bis family In Baldwin county who pay the owner of the land they cultivate, fifty bales of cotton rent. Think of that, “Master Brooke.” They are our best laborers and are becoming, many of them, our most prosperous citizens. Monroe Advertiser: Mr. Stephen Tinsly, of Calhoun county, diod suddenly at the residence of Mr.. Jeff Dumas, on Wednesday last. He had been spending the summe? in North Georgia, and stopped over, en route home, to spend a few days with relatives here. He was attacked with congestion, and died sud denly. Milledgeville Recorder: Our young friends who have been so enthused fur Mr. Norwood, were downcast all last week. It may have been the rain that did it. Rain will take the starch out of the stiffest rooster's tail. Columbus Enquirer; There is a sys tematic robbery going on every day in this city, and there should be a stop put to it. A large number of the employes at the Eagle and Phoenix mills live across the river in Brownville, and in order to have warm dinners this meal is sent to them from home by their families. Often they have no one to bring their dinners but very small children, aud in crossing the bridge a crowd of negro women as semble there and rob their backets or trays of what is left of the meal. This occurs almost every day, much to the dis comfort of tho children. The bridge is within the corporate limits of the city, and the police should be instructed to keep a watch for this hand of thieves, and arrest them. It is getting to be such a common occurrence that if demands the attention of the authorities and the thieves given their deserts. Rev. Jesse H. Campbell.—Athens Banner: We were honored yesterday by visit from this distinguished divine, who is in the city visiting his son, the Rev. C. D. Campbell, the able and popular pastor of the Baptist church here. The venera ble praecher has passed his threescore and ten, but is still zealous and active in mind aud body in the service of the Master to whom he has owned sole allegiance for more than half a century, and we firmly believe there is not another in the State who docs more substantial labor in the great cause. He is, and has been for years, the good shepherd of the poor in the city of Ids residence—Columbus, Ga., where he daily and hourly proves his love for God by loving and serving hi* fellow men. So arduous and long continued have been his labors that he lias been ob liged to suspend them for a time to recu perate tired nature’s exhausted energies, and we sincerely hope that his sojourn in the up-country may give a long new lease to his most useful life. Rome Courier: Miss Effie Mitchell, daughter of Capt. Luke Mitchell, was se verely burned Sunday while lighting a fire iu the stove, having put on too much coal oil, which resulted in the blaze catch ing her clothing. We are glad to learn the injury is not as serious as was at first thought. Albany Advertiser: Work on. tiie steamer to ply between Albany and Bain- bridge has commenced, and will be push ed rapidly forward. She will make her first trip down the river, if completed iu time, on the 27th of October, and take an excursion party down to the Bainbridge fall fair, which opens on that day. The staunch little craft will leave here witli flying colors. The day she is launched will be a gala occasion in Albany. Augusta Chronicle: Last Saturday as Mrs. John Flynn was crossing the road near the high bridge, in Harrisburg, she saw two teams, driven by colored men, approaching at a furious rate of speed, They were evidently running a race. She managed to get out of the way of one of them, but was not so fortunate with the other, the pole of which struck her in the back and knocked her down. The driver of the team was arrested and carried be-, fore Justice Crutchfield, who committed him to jail to await trial. Mrs. Flynn was very painfully injured. Monroe Advertiser: ’Squire Shannon^ who was tried for the murder of Calviu Matthews at the last spring term of the Superior Court and a mistrial had, was tried agairiWast week and acquitted.

II.—Norwood and Garfield. I cau understand how Democrats may he misled by that hemorrhage of lies, known as the “charges” against Governor Colquitt; I can understand how they could sympathize with the gallant oue hundred and forty; but I cannot compre hend how any Democrat can afford to ex press either anti-Colquittism or sympathy for the minority by voting for Mr. Nor wood. If Mr. Norwood in that eager hunt for office which permitted him to pick up the bone that Felton threw away, ever stops to say one word for Hancock aud English, what must his speech needs be ? “Fellow- citizens, vote against Garfield, the lobbyist for the DeGolyer pavement; vote for me, the lobbyist of the fraudulent bonds, and the lobbyist now of Huntington’s Pacific railroad’scheme. Vote against Garfield, who sustained the back-salary steal though he was ‘weak’ enough to refuse to take the money; vote for me, who sus tained the grab and had the ‘backbone’ to take the proceeds. Vote for Hancock, who in the times that tried men’s souls was true to the cause of ills' countrymen— even though it was not your cause; vote for me, who in Savannah, during the long in tervals between the sessions of the legisla ture, at the risk of the ‘penal plumes’ of tar and feather, rescued good soldiers from the dangers of the ranks to the safety of the exemptions in which I reposed, and put worthless substitutes in their places. Such is my record in war aud peace (though both were alike to me), aud “ gloty in it.” lobbying. What are the “facts and figures?” Norwood has been for several years the paid attorney of an immense railroad cor poration, which is annually besieging Congress and the legislatures of various States for “subsidies and appropriations.” What are the services demanded of an at torney of a railroad that exists mainly on paper, that has no suits for damages to defend, aud has no business except that of knocking at the doors.of national and State treasuries for aid? The constitu tion of 1877 (which shortened the term of the office of governor), in order to keep such cormorants away from our State, en acted this provision (Code, sup. § 501) “Lobbying is declared to be a crime.” But this is not all. Mr. Norwood was the author of a series of letters signed Nemesis in the Augusta News, during Bullock’s reign, in’which he attacked that administration with great bitterness, and especially the fraudulent bonds, de claring them to be virtual forgeries of the credit of the State. Not many years later, we find Mr. No:wood (now the Honorable Senator Norwood), lobbying the representatives of Georgia in the in terest of these same bonds. The public do not regard the code of legal ethics as higb, at best; but where is the ethics that cau justify a lawyer for attempting to collect a note or a bond which he kiows to be fraudulent, and a virtual forgery, and has denounced as such. If it be said that Norwood lobbied bod ies of which he is not a member, let it al so be said that Garfield was to lobby committee of which he was not a member, and that in Congress legislation is controlled by the committees. But if Garfield loses by the comparison here, Norwood outshines him when we come to the SALARY GRAB. If an employe demands extra wages after a contract for service at certain rates, the claim is generally resisted as improper; but if an employe, after such contract, having the key to his employer’s money- drawer, helps himself to whatever lie thinks fit to take, such conduct goes by harsher names among men than “grab.” To vote for such a measure in Congress was to steal; to take tiie money, was to be a receiver of stolen goods. Garfield was the thief, but shame stayed him from the completion of the crime. Norwood has the double infamy of being the thief aud the receiver. These are plain words, but they convey “facts.” It was said when running for the Senate that he liad no “political disabilities;" but sucli conduct should put a mau under disabilities which no act of Congress can efface. A few instances there may be where shining virtues have condoned this offense, but it has killed—forever killed— all men of Mr. Norwood’s “size.” The insignificant are belittled, not dignified, by being iu company with a few great men. THE MAN ON THE MONUMENT, If, after the scene that be witnessed last night, the man on the monument had spokeu, (I am sorry X. I. E. did not lis ten), what would he have said ? “Not many months ago, by the sum mons of tiie wives aud the daughters and the sisters of this people, there stood upon the base of this pedestal a man who, amidst tiie plaudits of tiie multi tude, voiced to Southern hearts the in spirations oi that hour. He taught that for our common country’s good the pas sions and the strife of war should cease, but that stilt within our hearts as South ern .men wc should cherish and keep bright the noble momories of that time—be loyal to those who were loyal then and love the brave man of the other cause rather than the dastard of our own. Tiie cheers rang out with loud acclaim; but now the same man faces with the cour age that be faced in battle,*wliat ? insults and derision; while another, whose pres ence near my statue is a desecration coldly smiles to see the demon passions be has basely roused spend their fury on the man whose slioe-lachet lie is not worthy to unloose.” No-Axe.

From w Man Who Has tbe Floor. The parlor chair was the outgrowth of the inquisition, and ha3 been handed down to us as a curiosity—a relic of bar barism. They'are made to stand in the dark corners of that secluded sepulchre commonly called the parlor, and to entrap the bashful young man who does not know that all chairs are not made for The parlor chair generally is construct ed of veneering and hair; it stands upon four shadows, courteously called legs, and has resting upon them a tempting i shaped cushion that looks as if it would sink like down beneath your relaxing energies, but which, alas, is as hard and slippery as ivory. This chair (?) has also a back; we mention the fact, because tliere are hundreds who contend that no parlor chair ever has a back. It used to be the custom to mount tire whole orna ment upon rollers, that it might all the more easily accomplish its fell purpose, but since the invention has been brought to perfection, it has been found unneces sary. We remember once of seeing our hostess hastily remove our hat from a chair, and regard us with a look of mingled re proach atid surprise; hers was a high toned house, aud the higher toned the house, the less responsibility has the par lor chair. But when a few minutes later, John, her country cousin, dropped in, tossed his ISO pounds of uneducated flesh aud blood into the same receptacle, and struck the floor as if be bad come down from the ceiling, her reproach be came despair. John only looked sheep ish, however, and said he’d be darned ho didn’t think he saw a chair where he sat; but he was mistaken, for we all look ed after he had got up, and there was no chair there. There used to be a chair in a friend’s bouse that was better than the trained mule at a circus. Nobody ever rode that chair. It was too stout for a good parlor chair so they put rollers on it to make it efficient. If you sat a little too far for ward it darted out behind you; if you sat on one side it slid the other way, and if you leaned back it reared up and stood you on your head. In its four years of active duty, no one ever found the exact centre of that chair. We have hastily gathered a few refer ences to the parlor chair from the litera ture of the pations, showing how univer sal is the plague; Every closet has its skeleton.” — Shakespeare. “Life is full of disappointments.” — From the Eoran. “ Around thy awful form I draw the magic circle of the church of Rome.”— Richelieu. “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”—Madame DeStael. “Care sits lightly on thy brow.”— Moore. “He who enters here, leaves hope be hind.”—Dante.

Yesterday morning tiie efficient and ac tive officers of the County Court escorted . Bcuton phyflctaii,“ha* up to the court-room, on the third story, several gentlemen of the off color, among whom was William Abel, charged with larceny from the house, he having distin guished himself by stealing from Mr. Val entino’s store, comer Second and Cherry streets. William was put upon trial, but plead guilty, was sentenced to eight months on the chain gang, and was car ried across the hall and locked up in the petty jury room until the court had con cluded its labors. This room has two sliding windows in it, which run clear down to tho second story. Around the second story there is a granite ledge about eighteen inches wide, upon which the windows open. A man might drop from tho third stoiy and catch on the window seat, or upon the ledge of tiie second story, but ten to one he would fail, and plunge along down to the ground, or tho low platform below, Qn which the mail wagon unloads. Desper ate as the chance was, William deter mined to take it, and barricading the door with a table, he leaped from the window, whether to the platform be low, or to the ledge, no one knows, but at any rate he ctme along down to the platform with a noise like the fall of a heavy mail bag. Mr. Da- inour, the only man in the post-office at that moment, immediately walked to the window and saw a pair of legs disappear over the edge. Thinking some boys were playing out there, he paid no attention to it until Mr. Ross, the bailiff, came round and asked him If he had heard any one jump or fail from above. Then the inci dent recurred to him, and ha related the circumstances. Under the platform was au area covered by an iron grating and under this grating William was found, suffering great agony from a fractured leg. Dr. Biackshear was sum moned and thought tbe left limb below tho knee was broken iu several places. The negro lay stretched upon the ground for some time, but finally a wagon was brought and he was carried to the hospital. It was a desperate attempt to escape. William took the only chance he had and failed. We can but pity the misfortune by which he was made a crip ple, even though he alone is responsible for all. A BIG EVENT. A Chance for Everybody to See the Finest Show on Earth—-Remember September 22d—No Ecu than Ele ven Exhibitions Under One Manage ment. One important matter is to fasten tbe date on tbe mind, September 22d. On that date we have with us the largest tented organization in the world Every showman knows that the W. C. Coup Newly United Monster Shows are by far the largest in America, and in Eu rope these is nothing to begin to compare with any of tbe extensive Lome exhibi tions. Coup is the real priuce of show men. He conceived and originated the big enterprises that formerly run un der tbe name of Bamum, but this year he centers his brains, energy, enterprise and enormous wealth under bis own name, and the reward will be divided among no grasping partners. Wherever this stupendous enterprise lias exhibited this year, in all the large cities particularly, our exchanges tells us it i3 the most perfect, elaborate, exten sive and immense institution of tbe kind they ever saw. Newspapers like the New York Herald, Sun and World: the Chi cago Times and Tribune; the Baltimore Sun and American; tbe Washington Post, the Philadelphia Ledger, papers whose opinions cannot be bought, all declare that tbe W. C. Coup shows this year are superior to any ever seen in their respect ed cities. Now all this we must believe for it is simple disinterested evidence. Then let every one prepare for the date named. Tell your children to save their pennies, and give this great exhibition tbe support it deserves. Jndee William Tandy Shot. Our community was shocked to learn early yesterday morning that this estima ble gentleman and excellent citizen bad been foully shot down while approaching bis gin house at 3 o’clock a. m., being at tracted there by noises of a suspicious character. It seems the judge had decided not to repair his horse power, but to carry his cotton to Asher Ayres’ steam gin near by, and it was known that he would move a few bales in tbe seed yesterday morning. This caused some c-f tbe numerous cot ton thieves in tbe district, who, it is well known, can readily sell any seed cotton they may carry to small merchants in the vicinity, without being questioned, to vis it his gin house for the purpose of robbing it. Before the judge reached the house, he noticed the door was open, and was fired upon when within fifteen or .twenty feet of it. Two shots were fired In quick suc cession, the second one striking his right leg three inches below the knee, creaking it. This wound knocked him down and the thieves fled in the darkness. There are strong circumstantial proofs as to the identity of the guilty parties. Howard district is justly aroused and highly indig nant at this high handed outrage. A large crowd of citizens called upon Judge Lundy, and expressed their sympathy and their indignation at the dastardly at tempt to killl him These cotton thieves invariably sell their booty at night, and a law is needed to prevent the sale of all country produce between sun-down aud sun-up. Such a law is universal in Alabama, and every merchant is required to report monthly to the ordinary the names of sellers and articles bought in tbe day, and conse quently locks are not needed on gin houses, corn cribs or potato houses.

A day or two since there occurred in Vineville one of tbe most singular events we have ever been called on to record. It was nothing more or less than a bold at tack by a hawk upon a lady. The cir cumstances are as follows: The lady was in a room adjoining * the hall when she heard a heavy thud, and the noise of lall- ing glass outside the door. Rushing into the hall she found her little child there, and perched upon some ooject near at hand a gigantic hawk. Upon the appearance of the lady, the bird made a swoop for her, and while she was using all endeavors to protect the child by covering its bead, fastened its talons in the lady’s hair. After a considerable struggle, she succeeded in beating the bird off, when it retreated to a picture of General Leo upon which it perched. The lady retreated to her room and called up on the servants to close the hall door. This was done and his hawkship would have been a captive, but he seemed to take in the situation and darted into a bedroom, lit on the cradle, sidled along to the window and escaped. He was so large that when he entered the door his wings struck the doorway on each side. His first appearance was made when he swooped into the back yard and lit up on the framework of a wax plant. From thence he made his way into the hall and broke the windows trying to get out. Now, 1f Editor Woods has a snake story that will be read with interest after the above has been perused, he will please step to the front. The beauty about it all is, tbat our anecdote is susceptible of tbe clearest proof.

The next session of this favorite South ed college begins on the 15th of the pres ent month, and the prospects for a large- increased attendance are, we learn, very flattering. We would rejoice to see this institute crowded to its utmost ex tent, and every class frill. Geor gia owes it to herself to see that this college, which has the honor of having first conferred diploma upon woman, of having fur nished to society for forty-two years edu cated and refined ladies, should not lan guish for want of patronage. Let those who have daughters to educate, send them here to the old Wesleyan, and under the care of accomplished scholars and Chris tian teachers, they will progress as they can in no “fashionable seminary.” The Wesleyan is located in the heart of the healthiest country in the world, in a city whose devotion to learning has won for it the soubriquet “City of Colleges."

The new Cathedral at Milan is thought to be the finest and most beautiful piece of Gothic architecture in the world. Some consider it far ahead of Saint Pe ter’s in grace and beauty. It furnished the most agreeable surprise of any build- | yet seen in this country, for we were not expecting much. It is a wilderness or beauty, crystalized in very white mar ble, 355 feet high. The view from the top is acknowledged to be the finest to be had from any church tower in the world. On the north and west are the Alps rising fr-om and bounding tbe broad and fer tile plain of Lombardy ; and to tbe South the Appenines; due West the out line of Mont Cenis can be traced. Fur ther to the left the snow-capped summit of Mount Viso. To the right of Mont Cenis are successively the peaks of Monte Rosa, Simplon and Saint Gothard. Nearer are the mountains surrounding Lakes Como and Luggno. The battle fields of Lodi, Navaro and Magenta are also visible. When finished, the building will be adorned with 4,500 stat ues, and whether you gaze upon it from below, or look down upon it from above, you feel that it is superb.—Cor.
