The ice harvest; on the Hudson river is the most successful ever known, the quautity secured being greater and the quality better. The gathering will be finished this week, nml it is expected '3,000,000 tons will be obtained, which, it is supposed will suffice for a two years crop, a thing that has never before hap- 'pened. .The losses by fires in the United Sates and Canada during 1878, accord ing to the Insurance Chronicle aggregate $70,266’400, not counting a multitude of small files of which no returns have been made. Of this loss $39,678,600 Veil on ineurncc companies, the remain der on the owners of tlie property.

THE CENSUS OF 1SS0. pho -census hill which was passed by ibe Senate on Thursday is different in Wine important particulars from the Ehe wnich was introduced by Mr, S. S. *4)ox in the House of Representatives. It provides for the payment of sis dol iris a day to tire enumerators instead of ho much a name. This latter plau Would offer a premium on inaccuracy, since the more names let timed of irn- hginury persons tbe greater would be the compensation. The sujiervisors are its be appointed by the Secretary of the Satjepar apan nomination by the Sti pend tendest. The other bill provided Vor nomination by governors of States, though -it would be hard to say why tfeey t&onki have anything to do with ft. Ah other wise ch tuge is the with drawal from the enumerators of duties Relating to §& imfac taring, railroad and j feifSiifar statistics, which are to be < n- irnsted to special and export agents. ! This will help to secure the first and most impor'aut thing, a corr patches of certain democrats who went to watch the returning hoards in Sonth i Carolina and Florida. All the political i dispatches of the Western Union Tele- 1 gt«i h company, that gigantic monopoly and oppressor of every business interest in the country, were by its officers turn ed ever to several prominent radical Under?, who sorted out all that would have implicaltd the radicals and allow ed the ucbiication r-f those sent by the d« m< crats, semedf Licb stated that tlie returning beards could be bought for specified sums of money. This wua thought to be a master stroke of political trickery by the radic al managers, whojel)tickled and grinned over the matter for two or three weeks, —in fact until tho congressional com mittee began the investigation which has resulted so completely in their dis comfiture. Our space will not peimit ns ti give even a synopsis of the testimony elici ted, bat the whole ot it went to show that the returning boards offered their decisions in regard to the presidential election for sale for money; that the democrats refused to buy; and every circumstance goes to show that the rad icals did buy them—as tv.ry rad cal member of the toa.di have since re ceived open payment for their infamous services in t ic shape of fat offices,—the appointments in nany instances being made directly Uy Hayf-s himself. A strong attempt was made on the publication of tlie cipher telegrams to countct Fresiilmt 'Jilt on with them, and to bring the cejure chief mrgis- trnto of (lie union into contempt before the country. Never lias a dastardly plot move signally faded. Not only was there not found a particle of evidence tending in the remotest degree to im-" plicate Mr. Tilden, but not tbe shadow of a suspicion could be traced against him. At his s w.i rt q .esL he was on Sat urday last called before tbe sub investi gating committee,- and bis testimony is pointed and unequivocal, and goes to the country and to posterity with giant fores in its condemnation of the great frauds which most stain tho pages of American history os the trmmph of the most infamous and shameless conspira cy that ever subverted tho highest priv- aieges of a free gi vormneut. It has bc*-n proven during the inves ligation o; the electoral matters that the ■democrats' were swindled out of the votes of at least two states by tbe fraud ulent action of perjured returning boards. Not ouly this, but it has been shown that some of the names of the electors on the Hayes certificates from Louisiana were actual forgeries. And lastly, it has been demonstrated beyond tbe possibility of a doubt 'that tho can vassing .boards were actually bribed, and that Mr. Hayes, who was by their crimes and their subsequent ratification by eight members of tbe electoral com mission. made President of the Unsted States^aetually distributed many of the rewards with his own .hands and over his official signature. Mr. Hayes and co-couspirators may wear their raploS kimores with the best grace they can, but, in the language of Charles Francis Adams, “He must ever wear upon his brow the stamp of fraud first triumphant in American history.” GEORGIA GLEANINGS. Bridges Smith was once a boy, and knows all about tbe devilment of the tribe. The court house at Isabella, Worth Uuunty, was-bunted by incendiaries one n'ght last week’ All tlie records were lost, and several persons interested in litigation are suspected. Isabella, Worth County, needs a banging. The same swindler who made ovur fifty dollars at Perry some time since played a heavy game in Hawkinsville, taking in the tan dollar bills from doctors, lawyers, merchants, church members and sinners alike. Any one wanting gilded lockets and chains can get theta cheap about now. When an average Macon boy wants to wa^e np sleepy policemen, he makes a torpedo out of an old buggy box, puts it in a back alley and lights the fuse. Thpn he goes up the street whistling “I wa.nt to be an angel” until the thing bursts, when he patri- o'ically follows the officers to the scene of ihe explosion, and has lots of fun helping look for tbe bombardji ts. The Atlanta detectives are said to be working np several clues to robberies but it. is a singular coincidence tin all these clues lead into a popular saloon, where they take a drink, and go no fnrther. Thornton, of the Macon Ledger, had the pleasure of meeting Gen. Sherman once before his visit- to Macon, viz — in Washington City. They met- by chance, ’twas in a crowd, bnt no very great intimacy sprang up between them. day. One bhl onion sets for G. G. Potter. Two pgs plows, bolts, &c -for E. M.
