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.

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, lie la Uvad. 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.

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. LATEST NEWS. j - rrirrr Washington News and Notes. 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. The President visits Mount Vernon on ! the 20th of Juno, by invitation, The Mu j l ine Band accompanies the Pilgrim. In the Senate, the bill incorporating the J | first Presbyterian church iu Salt Lake was ! passed. Mr. West called up the bill for the bet-: ter organization of the district courts of i Louisiana, which was passed—ayes 3-1; nays 10. Several bills of no general Important lo were reported. The moiety bill was resumed. The Senate discussed the moiety bill all j the afternoon, but reached no final vote. Au amendment of the Finance Com- j mitteo to authorize the examination of books, invoices and papers by United States attorneys upon order of the court, was rejected by a vote of twenty-one yeas to twenty-six nays. 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 contest incurred by Spencer, the sitting member. „ 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. AN IMPENDING CONFLICT. Bayonne, June 10.-Twenty-five battal ions of Carlists with twelve gnus are re ported between Estella and the Argue Val ley awaiting the Republicans, who aro advancing from Tafalla. FAIIMEBB IN COUNCIL. Springfield, June 11.—The Farmers’ Convention adopted a long series of resolu tions, and nominated a State ticket. 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. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., 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 this direction tlinn the soldiers' who have borne the heal and burden of the day and whose handi have demo the slaughter. Let ns have not only a reconstructed but 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. The proportions of tho United States Hotel, at Saratoga, are of a stupendous character. It is 1,400 feet in lenght, or more than a quarter of a mile long, cover ing 95,000 feet of earth, with sleeping ac commodations for 1,200 guests. The en j tiro;cost is $900,000,0f which the furniture ! cost $225,000. Thirty thousand yards of carpet aro required to cover tho floor, — A good little Bangor boy refused to spoil eider, because he had signed tho pledge. | That excuse hadn’t tho requisite thickness j and tho boy was sent to his soat to learn I his lesson.

Whoever has gone through much of lifo 1 must remember that he has thrown away a great deal of useless uneasiness upon what was much worse in apprehension than in reality. Mr. Gladstone tells his private acquain tances that he regrets haying given so many years to politics. “How little,” said ho, the other day to nn admirer, “do poli tics effect the. life, tlie moral lifo, of a nation! One single good book influences the peoplo a vast deal more. ” A relic has turned np in tho river Orwell, England, in the shape of a vessel imbed ded in the mud. By some it is conject ured that she is a Danish war-galley, some of which were sunk at the entrance to the Orwell during tho engagement between King Alfred and tho Danes in 885. A young wife once cured her husband of a disposition to absent himself from home at nights providing him with an excellent dinner, and saying to him after ward: “George, if you find a sweeter spot than our home describe it to me, and I will rival it if I dio in tho attempt.” A I kiss and a few tears completed the victory. A Lawrence policeman seeing a woman alone on tho streets at midnight’ the other night, followed her and spoke to her twice. The second time she slapped his face and he took her to tho station-house. In conrt it appeared she was waiting for her hus band, who was in a billiard saloon, and she was discharged. A Minnesota grange has adopted a novel and praiseworthy method of edu cating its members and keeping them posted on current events, and adds fifty cents from tho grange treasury to every dollar subscribed for newspapers desig nated by the grange. The classic Rhine is to be profaned by a flotilla of gunboats. It is a project of that Bismarck.
