Chase and the Presidency.— As announced.in the Opinion yesterday the caucus of the Republican members of the Convention, held night before last, at which there were more than eighty mem bers present, passed a resolution with but two dis-enting voices, proclaiming their preference for Chief Justice Chase for the Presidency in 1S<>S. This resolution was introduced by Col. HENRY P. FARROW, and advocated by him in a most happy man ner in a brief but pointed and impressive speech. It was enthusiastically received and passed with but two dissenting voices. Last night the caucus met again, with more than ninety members present. Alter attending to oilier business, resolutions were Introduced declaring that the resolu tion introduced the evening previous by Col. Farbow. and passed by the caucus, did not express the sentiment of the Re publican members of the Convention then in caucus and that U. $. Grant was their preference for the Presidency. Instantly voices were heard over the hall, “No,” *•110," and a motion being made to table the resolution, lets carried with Out t fire dis senting voices. .• • 1 Thus we have aucther deuionst"ative in dication m the preference of the Republi can Party of Georgia' for Chief Justice Chase, ^till there are, persohs who have nicther consistency nor inlluence. who pre tend to have everything their own way for Grant. There in rto mistaking where the -ground-swell"' is. \Ve will endeavor to procure a copy of the resolittiotn voted down last night, and ]>resent It to onr readers. The Democratic politicians and Con gressmen. at Washington, are discussing among themselves die best time and place for holding the Democratic National Con dition. Some favor Boston, in view of t >e late elections there. Baltimore. St., ix'iii- and Philadelphia are spoken of. The Convention will be held. It is thought very soon after the 20th of May. An ri'pTTY Modernized.—We learn from the St. Augustine (TTa.) Examiner, that after three hundred years existence, that Ancient Uitjr i* at length able to commu nicate with the outside world by telegraph, the wires having readied that plaee from Jacksonville, and will soon be in active operation. Our cotcmporary says all they want now to bring them up with full dig nity of a city is a railroad. Senator Hendricks, it is said, will be nominated for Governor of Indiana by the Democratic .Convention to be held in In dianapolis on 'the 8th of January. If elected, he will resign the Governorship and be re-elected to the Senate. Efforts are being made to get up a big Convention. ZSTTxeO negroes, confined in the guard house. In Mobile, attempted to escape on the night of the j-fth, by setting tire to the wood-woTk of their evil. Prisoners in the adjoining cells, seared at the prospect of being roasted in their cages, made clamor ous but ineffectual appeals to be let out. The number of hogs received in Chicago thus far this season, has been 707,- of wlileh nmnlier -fo.Vitl have been packed, against H.V24G received, and 101.000 certain .parties la the Northern portion of the State who have political aspirations, and a clique in the Southern portion of the State who seek to line their pockets, have been farmed and defeated. Other combi nations, now In process of formation, look ing to the same ends, had better be aban doned. They will sink the parties Impli cated so low that no resurrection can ever reach them. The exposure of this whole trick is certain to be made some day. and then woe unto those men who have partte ipated in this disgusting scramble. These men cease to act from Principle, and resort to expediency and bargainhaak- ing in politics, they simply become con temptible. They forfeit the respect and confidence of honest men of all parties. Such men are fouud in all political organi zations, and the reconstruction party of Georgia has its share. Where men have acted, by turns, with all parties. They have no principles. They care nothing for either the party or the State, further than both may be made sub servient to their personal gain; and the sooner their correct status is known, the better for all concerned. Once more we say, that unless a cert/m clique in that Convention shall abar.don its schemes of plnnder, and address, itself to the legitimate work of that body, the people of Georgia shall know wb'o it is that is thus retarding the work of reconstruc tion. read and ^ unfinished business of yesterday ^air in (impartial suffrage at th Ailectto* for t order, it tetag; that portipnyofi Mr. i <''Ald-Y rat *fi catlon of the 0on»ti i4ti*3n. we!Ps resdllilfio'rf 'reebmGKwiSj mrJ9*fc! • *y Mr. ANGIER, a .1 Mil ior changing lock for the office of P~nhiftfT*i ;rUu * nrt * nni »ber of senatoria 1 districts, and re ef Georgia.

He says: ‘•The fact cannot be gainsayed that, go where yon may in Maine, business will be found crippled and the cry of dull times goes up on every hand. In a recent com munication 1 have already stated that there will l»e less lumbering by one-half this winter than usual. Mention has also been made of such a prostration in our ship building interests that hardly a vessel can be found upon the stocks. Hundreds o f workingmen are out of employment. Never before were our manufacturing in terests in such a state of languish. At our manufacturing centres either the pay of employees has been materially reduced or a reduction in the hours of labor been made. Several of the leading inaituiac- turers have joined In the Cleveland move ment for the discontin nance of the onerous and unequal revenue tax that now oppres ses many of our domestic article*, as a means of relief.” Isiiam G. Harris in NashviClh.—The Nashville Banner of Tuesday says: The Hon. [sham G. Harris is at the Stacy House. His visit to this city Is of a purely business character, and will keep him until tjie end of the week. The rumor mention ed by us yesterday, and connecting his name witli the press of Memphis, has no foundation in fact or intention. The ex-Governor is looking remarkably well. His residence in many lands has not altered his appearance or impaired his health. On the contrary, we are inclined to think that his foreign experience, though it could not have been of the most joyous at any time, has improved him every way. The “Good Time Coming.”—In that day a man shall say to his servant, “ What is the matter with the baby?” And the servant shall reply, “It has been sick for hours.” “And where is its mother?” “She is out electioneering tor Sftllie Robbins.” And such conversations as these shall transpire betweeu ladies and servants applying for. situations: “Can you cook?” “Yes.” “Wash?” “Yes.” “All right. Who is your choice for State Milliner?” “Judy McGinnis.” “ Well, you can tramp.” And women shall talk politics instead of discussing the fashions; and men shall nurse the baby while their wives go to the polls to vote. Arid in that day the man who has beautiful whiskers shall beat the homely man of wisdom for Governor, and the youth who waltzes with exquisite grace shall be chief of police in preference to the man of practiced sagacity and determined energy.—Mark Twain. Verdict Against Gen. Steadmanr—In a suit in the Federal Court at this place, brought by Isaac S. Tinkham against Gen. Steadman, for false imprisonment, which was decided last week, a verdict of $23,000 packed for the corresponding p“riod last (damages was rendered in favor of the year.
