All controversy as to whether the assassins really Intended to mnr.ler Lord Frederick Cav endish has ceased, now that it Is universally understood that be was deliberately selected as a victim. The latest intelligence indicates the belief of the police that EarISi>enccralao would have been murdered bad the opportunity fa vored. Nobody longer dentes that the assas sinations were planned for a distinct political purpose. This was the Irish answer to Eng land’s latest message of peace. Mr. Parnell's ■wilt asseveration that the murders were di rected against his new policy is considered to prove, if true, that the leadership of tho active party baa passed out of his hands. Englishmen are disposed to believe Mr. Parnell s present abhorrence of the crime; nevertheless they hold him responsible for the mnrden as the culmi nation of a long aeries of assassinations which he failed to condemn. His appearance in the House Monday in the character of a mourner evoked significant protests in several quarters. The parliamentary proceedings, with that ex ception. were deeply impressive throughout. The demeanor of the country deserves the en comiums the English press bestow. England, Ilko her government, is still ready to gram every moasnrp of Just relief to Ireland, hut the proposal to msko Mr. Parnell head policeman has ceased to be possible. Hr.

Tho United States Supreme Court has recov ered from what at one time seemed an appall ing possibility of contempt. A few days ago a lawyer from Kansas waa duly presented and admitted to practice, hJit after he left the room it was whispered about that he had not worn a shirt collar. Tills was bad enough, even al though he hod called only for the purpose of obtaining the right to plead, bnt cs he hod an nounced that be would, on the next dny, ap pear in a case before the court, his attire, or lack of it, assumed a serious aspect. A collar has come to be regarded as an Indispensable article of wear. Some African potentates who wear nothing else are strenuous on the subject of collars, and there are southern climes in which the shirt collar, assisted only by a pair of spurs, is said to meet all requirements of full dress occasions. If. then, a man will appear once In a Supreme Court room without u col lar. what article of attire may he not leave off on bis next appearance? Thecase. in all its gravity, was referred to Mr. Justice Grav, who while at the bead of the Massachusetts judicia ry savod the dlgnltv of the court and common wealth in a case somewhat similar. An imme- — ue investigation followed, and when the col -less man was enable to prove that be was * bare-throated in obedience to a vow, or lxtcause he had been crossed In love, or collared by the police, or lost ihe check that bis Chinese lann- drymr.n bed given him, his chances of pleading next day were very thin. Suddenly, however, It was explained thjtf the lawyer had an affec tion of the throat which prevented him wearing a collar: then tho ruffled dignity of the court was replaced by gracious consideration. Tbe law yer wlthou: i ooUar bis reason to bo grateful, but so also has ths court, for there are portions of ths human apparel that ore not so amenable as collars lo liberal construction of court en queue. , Tiie Champion J.lar. ’ y Times Democrat.

Wasnctoiog, May 18.—The Senate passed a bill appropriating $22,271 to re imburse certain citizens of Henderson, Tennessee, fur excessive aasMaments levied on them by Gen. Grant in 1682. The C per cent, land bill waa taken up ns unfinished business. Mr. Sanlbnry’s amendment, prohibiting the States receiv ing money from applying any of it to pay agents employed to procure it, was modi fied by Mr. Bock by adding thereto tbe words: "Except this bo in according with laws of the State passed after the passage of this act," Adopted. J Mr. Morgan offered an amendment, which was accepted by the friends of the bill, requiring the payment of 15 per cent., to be made in cash instead of bonds. The bill then went over.

The amendment was rejected—yeas 92, nays 118. Mr. Robert-on, of Louisiana, moved to reduoe the period to two year, and, stating that he would aval! himself of the latitude allowed to debate, proceeded to make some remark, about “the broken banks of Mio- nistippi,” praising the patriotic message of the President on that subject. He then withdrew ilia amendment. Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, offered his amendment, providing that ths jurisdic tion for fails hereafter brought by or against any national banking association (exoept suits between them and the United States, or its ofSoers or agouti,) shall be the same as the jurisdiction for suits brought by or against n bank not organized under any law of the United States which does or might do n banking business, where such national bonking association may be doing business when such suits may be began.

Adopted. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, offered an amendment providing that every banking ass --ciatiou which stutll obtain the benefit of this act shall pay the oost of preparing plates for inch new circulating notes ns ^htill be issued to it, and all otner costs Tncidt nt to tbe substitution of surh now circulating notes for the old, in addition to the tax now imposed on banking associa tions By law. Adopted. Oa motion of My. Crnpo, of Mnssechu- selts, the foliowing amendment was insert ed nt the end of section 7 of ihe bill: “And the franchise of such Association is here by extended for the sole purpose of liqui dating their affairs, until such affaire tiro finally closed.” Section 7 has reference to banking associations which do not avail themselves of the provisions of tho act.

Died in Macon, Ga., May 8tb, 1832, Mrs. loin Estelle Munroo, beloved wife of Na than C. Mnnroe and daughter of Judge Henry G, and Mrs. Mary Ann Lamar, in the 33d year of her age. Mrs. Mnnroe was born in Macon, Ga., May 14th, 1849. She came to Spalding county 03 a bride fourteen years ago. Iiovely in person, of engaging manners, with a frank truthfulness, aud childlike trustingness of nature, and a heart that “knew no guile,” she could but win the love and oontideneo of all around her. Many friends will weep in heart, who can not stand in person beside her new- made grave iu beautiful Rose Hill. Many will tliink tearfully and prayerfully of the desolate home, the bereaved husband and six motherless little ones to whom no hu man love, however tender, can ever com pensate for their great loss. Uotr comforting in looking back upon a life so dear to us, to feel how well fulfilled wore all her duties here—how when prosperity beamed bright upon her, she ever found it “more blessed to give than to receive,” how sho was always ready to servo the church of her love and communion, and her homo seemed bask ing in sunshine from her g ad yonng heart. Then inter, when adversity came upon them and this world’s losses, how un flinchingly, how nntnuruinringly, she stood the storm with brave, undaunted spirit.

Dublin, M«y 16.—The political caldron has ceteed to simmer, bathos gone straight ont to boiling over. Onr local papers, for somo reasons, have very little to say. The Castile. I iie'icve, has onoe or twice had something oc the subject That abomina ble system of rotating in electing State Senators gives the chance to this oounty this y- nr for nominating a man to repre sent the sixteenth district. Several weeks ago there were several gentlemenaclamor- ing for tho official teat. Of these, all have been knocked off exoept Colonel O. S. Guy ton and Hon. H. M. Burch, and theso gen tlemen hold fast with the tenacity of a ball deg. The people are not satisfied, although the waves have receded and left these Solon*, on the shore. The former gentle man is in every respect competent, but by some means has rendered hiirsalf unpopu lar. Tbe latter gentleman, though a clever, honest farmer, is lacking in abi'ity—he is teaching too high for the fodder. The race between the two will bo dose. Guyton will beat in the distriot but Bnrch in this county, and this, according to the rotation plan, constitutes the regular nom ination. It is thought that there will be another candidate—a black horse. To represent this county in the lower house, there is a regiment of candidates. Judge J. IV. B. Wolfe wants it almost too bad to digest well, bnt the Judge unfortunately is cot a popular man. I don’t think his chances are the best. I woqld dislike to insure them for tho Judge. Dennis Mc Lendon has been spoken of by a few, bnt my Hdvice to him is to wait until uncle tieab BrnceweU’s term as justice expires, and then ran to sit down in his chair. Tho name of Captain H. Perry has been very K rominentiy spoken of, but I don’t think a wonts it much, or at least he won Id tike to have it provided he was already elected. He would make a strong race should he decide to run. J. E. Hightower, a yonng lawyer, it is rumored, was nom inated by the colored people Inst Saturday. Uls nocturnal dreams of promenading the classic ball* mast wake to disappointment. Rev. Warren Miller, col., has been trying for some time to get the consent of bis people, that he mny make the race. The leading colored men Hay they will not snp- rort one of their race. A leading oolored man, cousin of • tho Rev. Miller, 6ays he will not sUDport him under any circum stances. Other* have spoken of Frank Taylor, Frank Fuller, Wm. B. Jones and others—ell ** available men. It is hard to say who will be elected. For county officers, except ordinary, (and Jndge Duncan has an entailed inter est in this) there are at least from three to ten candidates for each* office. One thing i« cortain—there can bnt one be elected. The colored people held a miss meeting at the coart hotuo last Saturday. The in tent of their meeting seems to have been a good one.

It extend ed up Main street until it reached the large brick building of M. H. Conob, where it was gotten under control. The people of this plsce have never had to conteud with the ‘‘monster”Xfire before, when it seemed to as-rame snch an tfSgrv attitude. Mr. Perkins’ honse was of wooden con struction, and owing to the fact that we have had considerable dry weather for the E ast few woeks, it horned like a powder ease. I suppose it was not fifteen minutes from tho time tbe fire started in Mr. Perkins’ store until it was communicated to the other bouses along the street. The greatest excitement prevailed, though there were enough oool heads in the moltitnde to gain control of the fire. The loss to Mr. Perkics is heavy, though he carried an insurance of about { 1,600. His stock, however, was worth 4,000. Mr. John U. Sell, a harness maker, loss abont £2,(00. This leas comes heary to Mr. Fell. Messrs. Carmichael ani Atkinson suffered greatly. Their honse burned down, their stock partly burned and the remainder was either stolen or damaged, that i* tbe most of it. ,pt course they saved some of their good*.' Their loss is estimated nt at $2,000. It falls heavily upon Mr. G., he having como t > onr place bnt a short while ago with some capital and but little experi ence in business. We can’t know at this writing how the damages were, but it is thought to be between ten and five thousand dollars in all. Onr people did their work bravely. Ttone dared to stand aloof, but all laid hold aud did all in their power. Too maoh praise cannot be given to some of the young men of the piaoe for theft untiring efforts to pave the town from being totally burned np. I wish I conld g ive yon the names of these yonng men, nt they all took hold witn such a zeal and worked so heroically that I cannot disorim- in ate. Therefore, I jn-t say that they aro tho noblest set ot toong men in the world—some even standing upon ths brick walls of M. H. Conch’s honse and defying the flames to make further progress. Standing with backets of water, they liter- el ly eta; ed the onward march of king fire, altboogh the walls were hot even to rod hout and tho bricks were rolling off. They stood steadfast to their post of duty and contested every inoh of ground over which king fire proposed to make his march. By their soroio efforts, aud their efforts alone, was ths town of Senoia, saved from a total destruction by fire, althongb. I do not mean to ssy a word against any other person who was present. Those who brought the water did well, bat I must say that our colored brethren as a class did shabbily; some did not, but the majority did nothing at *11 to check the raging flames. Ou the contrary, while tho whites were attempting to got the Mods of their ue ghborsont of danger, thrusting them iu the street, the colored foree, or some of them, deplored thau- setve* into squads of stealeis. The ground floor of the building Mr. Barnes occupied as a store was tbe ground of contention between the fire and the foree on top of tho houses. T <at was tho pivotal point in the contest, the piaoe wboro the nro sur rendered. Mr. Barnes lost greatly by tho removal of goods aud the water that was need. In the same building np stairs Mre. Arnall kept her millinery estab lishment, which was greatly damaged by removal. It is not reasonable to snppo«9 that a foil tine of ladies’ gear conld he re moved withoot considerable loss. Mr. Robert Siblpy’s law office is ou the same floor. His los3 and Mrs. Arcoll’s is not known, bnt it is known that they sustained considerable lose—Mrs. Arnall oy remov ing goods, and Mr. tiibloy in books, pa pers, etc. The fire is now under complete control.
