TbU exciting unil oomniotioul word re
verberated through nil our town lust night
about 10 o’clock. The shrill cry of the
maiden ud the matron was tire, lire, fire,
run, run, run, and the Fireman to their
engine did fly, and the President of the
.company was aroused from his slumbers,
And with stately steppings name marching
down the broad road, the broad road.
The citizens in much excitement ran,

conflagration, and sure enough ('apt.

•rite Weather.
This is the fourth summer we have been
*in this place, and withiu the last teu days
we have suffered moro from heat than we
did in the entire three proceeding sum
mers. The sun shines brighter and the
sand gets hotter and whiter. Old ocean's
gone dead and its respirations have utterly
ceased. Notwithstanding we have had
several refreshing rains, they don't appear
to cool the atmosphere; as soon as the
rain ceases the sun breaks out with burp
ing heat and the rapid evaporation makes
the atmosphere unendursbly oppressive;
but the phuiter says it is just right for cot
ton and the cotton is growing finely now.
One wicked fellow said yesterday wasu t
very hot, he found a horse shoe in the
sand and it was only ml hot, hadn’t
melted. If iron won’t melt it is certainly
too hot fur fleas, those that have not been
burned in the sand have been drowned In
(ha floods uf perspiration,

On Sunday last, Hon. James Hilliard, a
venerable and worthy citizen of our town,
after a short, but severe illness, bid adieu
to earth and its sorrows and wont home.
The response fell with mournful sadness
upon the. ear of many enquiring friends on
Httuday afternoon, he is dead. Death could
not have selected a more worthy citizen,
a kinder husband, father, friend, uoi
could the Baptist church, to which he has
been long and faithfully attached, have
lost a more exemplary member. He was
the Superintendent of the Sabbath School
for years, he was genial and courteous in
his administrations and all loved him. Tin
sadness of his departure is not confined to
family, it is felt by all. Home one i
missing, someone is gone, it Is our
friend, his genial smiles have vanished
from sight, his pleasant voice is hushed in
death. There is an empty seat iu tin
church, a vacant chair at home and n
loneliness in the- hearts of the people.
While to ns it is sad, death to him was a
kind and welcome messenger to pilot him
from sorrow and grief to a home of incx
pressable felicity.

Curious Calculation.
Thorn is something wonderful in fig
ures; and numbers, when calculated, star
tle us liy their Immensity. We talk of
millions and billions with little thought of
the vastness of the sums wo name. The
lips may utter the words glibly, but their
understanding fails to grasp their real
significance. Take our own national debt
as an illustration. Everybody knows it is
large, but few have ever stopped to con
sider its appalling magnitude, A few cal
culations will not, we trust, bo uninterest
ing to our readers;
Let us suppose that the national debt
is, in round numbers, 82,500,000,000. II
au experienced cashier was to commence
counting this, nt the rate of three silver
dollars per second, rn.l work diligently
eight hours per day, 5000 in the year, it
would take him about ouo hundred years
to complete the count.
If the silver dollars were placed side by
side, touching each other, they would
reach nearly three times round the world;
they would pave a highway the width ol
Chicago’s streets more than 200 miles in
length.
If each silver piece be estimated at one
ounce in weight, and the money loaded
into carts containing ono ton each, and
driven one before the other, each horse
and cart occupying two rods, the proces
sion would extend five hundred miles.
Or consider that only about 1,000,000,-
000 minutes have elapsed since the birth
of Christ, and that if one dollar had been
put away each minute, day and night,
since that event, the accumulation would
amount to but little more than one-third
of the debt this nation now owes. If this
calculation was applied to England or
France, whose national debt is nearly
twice as large as ours, the result would be
still more startling.
Grant and a Third Term.
[George Alfred Townsend in the Chicago Tri.
hum.]
All the indications at the White House
are of leave-taking. The President has
bought property in Washington to build
a residence. He lias promised his family
a tri]) to Europe on the expiration of lii.s
term. He has never responded with more
than a sphinxine countenance to the many
wishful compliments designed to bring
from bim an expression of opinion. Nor
has he any personal objects other than
the salary, to be derived from the Presi
dency. His worldly affairs arc in good
condition. He does not derive the pleas
ure in office with his means and long mili
tary and civil restraint which he could get
in retirement. He is au American, besides
and hns no aspiration to reverse the prece
dents be has fostered, and antagonize the
position he took in his last inaugural, that
he believed Republican government would
uproot every other kind.
If anything could put in such a man’s
head the idea of usurpation it would be the
style of prognostication adopted by bis
opponents. They assume thut he has
both the opportunity and they wish to des
troy the liberties of his country. I am
sure that he has not the first, and I do not
believe he has the second. Ho is boimd
to the bulk of his officeholders by a very
limited acquaintance, and in bis Cabinet
council there is not one man whith a hold
on the heart of the country. The General
of the army is his friend but not his
political indorser and is himself not unwil
ling to have the Presidency. In the
same roll is Hancock, If the materials of
usurpation do not lie in the public desire,
there are no sufficient instrumentalities
for that performance around the Presi
dent.
I am satisfied that Grant is only in the
apparent list of candidates for 187 G, in or
der to fulfill a Presidential purpose of
keeping both parties straight and decent,
A great question, like the Presidency,
moves like an iceberg, without will, sail
rudder or destination. Too many cur
rents, gales, abrasions, and complications
meet it, to insure that it will strike any
one point. At this moment, there is some
Unknown man, perhaps, like the son of
Jesse, for w hom the oil of anointment is
growing in the olive.
Tobacco Exemption. —Representafives
in Congress from tobacco raising sections
of the country have by persistent effort
induced the committee of ways and means
to report a bill exempting from tax 8100
worth of tobacco sold by a producer to a
comsumer. But there seems to be a str ng
opposition to this exemption from the
commissioner of internal revenre and mam
ufactnrers— th i one on the ground that it
weakens tlie revenue law on the sales of
tobacco, and the other because as they
declare it will encourage frauds in selling
the leaf, and the use of unmanufactured
tobacco for chewing.
An enterprising superintendent of one
of our city Sunday schools was engaged
last Sunday in catechizing scholars, vary
ing the usual method by beginning at the
end of the Catechism. After asking what
were the prerequisites for the Holy Com
munion and Confirmation, and receiving
very satisfactory replies, he asked: “And
now, boys tell me what must precede Bap
tism?” Whereupon a lively urchin shouted
out, “A baby, sir.” Fact; followed by
sensation and laughter.

NOTES IN.ERIEF FROM ALL AROUND
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, June B. —The House bill
admittingJColorndo passed—l7s to G 5.
.Mr. Smith, of Louisiana, introduced a
bill to restore school and other funds taken
from that State and covered into the trous
urv.
I The bill to pay $200,000,000 more iu
bounties failed to get a two-thirds major
ity, and was thus defeated for the session.
Five hours were given to a discussion of
the Louisiana contested election ease of
Pincliback and Sheridan, the vote on
which is to lie taken to-morrow.
A Republican caucus of both houses was
announced to be hold at eight o’clock this
evening.
The action of the House to-day is re
garded as the fiuol defeat of the civil rights
bill this session.
Messrs. Bordmau, Smith, Hyplicr, Ln
mar, ,Sheridan and Pinchbeck spoke on
the Louisiana case. They were eloijuent, :
but wordy—too much so for a description
or epitome.

A SALARY SQtIABLF.
Washington, June 10.—In the Senate
Mr. Hamilton of Maryland called up the
resolution to pay ]•’. A.‘Sykes, Into contes
tant fora scat in the Senate from Alabama
the salary of a Senator from March 4,
1873, to May 28 1874. Pending the ques- !
tion, being an amendment of Mr. Carpcn-;
ter to fix the amount three thousand dol-1
lars, Mr. Hamilton moved to further |
amend by inserting six thousand five lmn- I
died in lieu of three thousand. Pending
the discussion the morning hour expired
and the resolution went over.
Mr. Oonkling gave notice that when it
should be taken up again he would submit |
an amendment to pay the expense of the I

ELECTION LAW IN PIIANOJ!.
Pabis, June 10. The Assembly to-day,
by a vote of 3-18 to 337, adopted the amend
ment to the municipal electoral bill, fixing
the age of electors at twenty one instead of
twenty-five yearn, ns proposed by the gov
ernment, ivhioh is thus defeated on a vital
provision of the bill.
PASSAGE OF THE MOIETY HILL.
The Senate to-night passed the moiety
bill, after discussion of three days. As
passed, the hill provides that hooks and
papers may be examined under an order
of the court, tlie defendant or his agent
being present, and the owner of the books
to have custody thereof during the exam
ination, subject to the order of the court,
i’he penalty for any false invoice is five
hundred, not exceeding five thousand, or
less than fifty or imprisonment not exceed
ing two years or both, and forfeiture of
i t he package containing the particular item
Ito which such fraudulent invoice may
i relate. . A provision of the bill is that suits
or actions commenced on forfeitures
incurred previous to May 1, 1874, aro not
affected hy it, so that informers who have
instituted proceedings prior to that time
will obtain their moieties, but repeals all
moieties, and provides that all fines, etc.,
shall he paid into the National Treasury.
The bill passed by a vote of 38 to 3, the
| negative votes being Flanagan, Pease and
Howe. Quite a number were opposed to
several features of the bill on the ground
that thoy did relate to the abuse of moie
ties or tlie improper seizure of books and
papers, but voted for it as a whole, in
order to got rid of spies and informers’
f es.
MOSES IN LtJCK.
Charleston, June 9.—Judge Graham
has fih-d his decision upon the question
whether Governor Moses is subject to in
dictment and trial by an ordinary crim
inal process previous to impeachment by
the Legislature. He held that the action
of Moses as charged in the indictment
was in truth au official action. If it was
misconduct or a crime it was still official
misconduct or a crime committed hy him
as Governor. It is therefore ordered that
the indictment for larceny as to Franklin
J. Moses, Jr., be quashed, and the case as
to him 1)0 ttruck from the docket.
CONVENTION OF COTTON EXCHANGES.
Augusta, June 10.—The Cotton Ex
change Convention organized to-day with
the following officers; John Phelps, of
New Orleans, President; C. A. Easton of
New York, Vice President; John J. Koof,
of Memphis, Secretary. Alter organiza
tion the Convention took a recess until
1 o’clock in order to give time to appoint
committees and prepare business.
SPAIN LOOMING UP.
London, June9.—The Tones,in an edito
rial article commenting on a conunnmea
tion recently sent to various powers by the
Spanish government, says it is a hint that
the time approaches when the Spanish
government must be received in the hall of
nations on terms of equality. If it be;
proved that tho Carlist generals are inca
pable of keeping the enemy at bay in Bis
cay and Navarre, in insurrection is likely
to collapse.
The limits of the Carlist Strength on
Carlist ground are pretty well defined, and
when tho national army resumes opera
tions, it is not likely to neon liter resist
ance. _ These aro more 0 11 •* "al prospects
to justify the Spanish gov furiment in mak
ing an appeal of public opinion of the j
world, and should Serrano maintain him- i
self and establish a de fue'o government, j
we know of no reason why it should not bo 1
reorganized as much as MiMahon’s.

Ex-Governor Palmer spoke in favor of
the farmers’ movement.
Washington, June 11.—In tho Senate
Mr. Gordon from the Committee on Com
merce, reported favorably on the bill to
constitute Montgomery, Ala., as % a port of
dolivery. It was placed on the* calendar, i
The House went to tlie Speaker’s table \
and disposed of such bills, etc., as were
not objected to. Those which were ob
jected including the Senate Civil Rights
Hill and three bills to remove political
! disabilities are still left on the Speaker’s
| table and cannot be moved without a two
thirds vote, which ordinarily can only be
taken Mondays. During the last ten days
|of the session, however, a motion to sns
| pend the rules by a two-thirds vote which
! at the same time passes the bill, is always
1 in order.
I Card from the Chairman of the Demo
cratic Exeutive Committee.
Macon, Juno 4, 1874.
Editor* Tairgraph if Maumtgcr: I see
■ some of my friends doubt my authority to
; call a meeting of the Executive Committee
! of the Democratic party. If they will
refer to the proceedings of the convention
; creating the committee, their doubts will
| vanish. Others object to the time think
; ing candidates should l>o placed in the
j field immediately. Upon conference w ith
; some of the committee 1 learned that it
; was more probable I would secure a
j quorum at the timo appointed than at an
earlier day.
Agaiu it was thought that a short, active
campaign would be more effective tlinn a
long, tedious one during the summer
months. The executive committee also
: desire while advocating the cutiso of no
; aspirant for the offices and honors of the
party to so slmpo thcii action and that of \
the party as to give no cause of offense to
any one. Hence they thought that simple
justice required that the call should be
made, so that all parties those present and ,
those absent on duty, should at least be I
placed upon ail equal footing. This will
prevent schisms and jealousies, and was
necessary for the harmony and prosperity
of the party.
I hope this simple explanation will con
vince il our friends of the wisdom of our
action for wo are looking only to the suh
oess of out'cause and the welfare of the!
State.

Chairman Executive Committee.
How a Brave Soldier Talks.
At tlio recent reunion of the army of the
Potomac, at Harrisburg, the orator of the
occasion, (ion. (). B. Wilcox, mode a step
forward in the work of reconciliation, by
tendering an invitation to the remnant of
Longstreet’s corps, of Confederate renown
to meet the Ninth corps, which came most
iu contact during the war, at tlio next an
nual nnnaversnry. Ho said:
“As for private grievances, personal or
political animosities, away with them. No
man has better eauso to distrust and bate
the Houth than I have; no man a better
right, from his personal experience of ill
treatment, to feel bitterly. But hero in
vie .v of the past, in the broad and forgiv
ing light of heaven and before men who
have experienced similar hardships to iny
own, and who fought bravely and persis
tently to the last to put down rebellion, 1
declare amen to the gospel of peace as ut
tered by our martyr President, and say
that we owe it alike to our children and
ourselves to hand down to them a heritage
of good will, bearing ou its front that no
blest motto of advanced civilization.
“Malice toward none, charity for all.” No
nlen can better afford to sot an example in

a thoroughly reunited country.
Tim Cotton Crop.
Much intorest is shown in tho condition
of the cotton crop. Reports from the Car
olines, Alabama and Georgia shows that
the prospects of tho crop are backward.
Considerably less acreage lias been planted
than last year. The general impression is
that the yield may reach about three and
a quarter millions of bales. This is not as
good as we had hoped, being three-quar
ters of a millii n bales less than the crop
of Is’ year. Something of this is attribu
ted to the poverty of the planters, who do
not have money enough to buy fertilizers
and who experience much difficulty in ob
taining money on future crops. There is
a good deal of political disquietude arising
out of the angry discussions occasioned by
the Civil Rights Bill and the misgoveru
ment of so many of the States. This, of
course, disheartens tlie people anil prevents
that chooiful energy and industry without
which a people c m vaiso neither ootton
nor corn.— N. V. H raid.

A relic has turned np in tho river Orwell,
