It was a grace ful and deserved compliment of Presi dent Lester’s putting Colonel Preston at the head ol the committee of investiga tion into the Northeastern bonds. He is a bright ahd rising man, and will be caned to duty in still more advanced stations than the one he at present occupies. There is a gentleman in the senate, however, who forces~hwiself on the mind of the spectator as the embodiment of common sense, broadened and directed by liberal culture. This is Senator Hud son. This gentleman wastes no time with the trappings pf rhetoric or the frip pery of figures. He clears all the eutan- tion of Georgia’s honor and the preserva tion of the best interests, none who know him can doubt. . , _ , - , . ...

Mr. Sjienccr Dykes, who lives in Dawson county, while hauling a load of fodder from tlie field, was killed by his mules boooming frightened and running away. It seems that after loading his fodder and starting towards tlie house his mules became frightened at a board becoming fast in the spokes of tlie wheel, which made a terrible racket. After the mules had run for some distance, scat tering tho fodder in every direction and keeping up a frightful din, Mr. Dykes made an attempt to jump from the wagon, which he succeeded in doing, but lost his balance after striking thc ground, which caused him to fall back, striking Iils head between the wheels, one of which passed over Mr. Dyke’s head, fracturing his skull. He lived from eight o’clock in thc morning till one in the afternoon, when hc expired. He leaves a wife and four children, in very des titute circumstances. The negro church a short distance from Frog Town, Forsyth county, was burned last Monday night. It is strongly supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Three men, Kelly, Vandcron and Quarles, by name, were overheard by a certain Mr. Roach, so report says, on Monday evening, making threats to bum the church, and he (Mr. Roach), I suppose, followed them and saw them set the torch and apply it to the build ing. The three men above mentioned are under arrest and will stand their trial in a short time. Two of Mr. Hill’s boys attempted to cro-s “Yaller" (Yellow) creek Wed- neMlav morning, after the rain, with a two-mule wagon. Thc creek was much swollen by the rains of the previ ous night, and the current was very rapid. The wagon was soon capsized and come un coupled, and the boys were thrown into the water. Tbe wagon, mules, boys and wagon body floated down al*out a quarter of a mile, when some men saw them and rescued the half-drowned boys. The mules and wagon lodged on some drift. After much difficul ty the mules were eut loose and got out, but the hind wheels of wagon were lost. *Mr. Hill is well known to the merchants of At lanta, as one of the ow ners of Hill A Ray’s mill*, in Cherokee county. Thc Hightower river lias been "booming" and out of its banks, and lu»destroyed much fodder, coni and cotton, but is now in its banks. Mr. Webb Roberts, of McConnell’s, had his leg broken in two places by falling through an opening in the third story of his gin-house. He fell to the second story. T. Columbus, O., December 6.—A large boiler used at Hayden’s rolling-mill ex ploded this afternoon while a number of workmen were standing around, plosion killed Richard Berry, aged 10, his head being blown from his body. Richard Freeman, a boy aged IS, was terribly scalded and bruised, and died in a few min utes after being taken from the ruins of the boiler-house. William Louis, aged 17, was badly and, it is. feared, fatally injured. George Bell had his head cut open by frag ments of the boiler, but be may recover. John Trainor was terribly scalded and other wise badly injured. Mick McCarty, a fur nace boy, was also badly injured. The boiler was made of quarter-inch iron, and was about thirty feet long, and had been in use for some years. No reason ia given for the explosion, and it is claimed there were three gauges of water in it when the explosion occurred. The explo sion burst the boiler at the steam drum, tearing the metal into strips. A twenty _ .. _ what platform he stands.

Ex-Governor Smith was a strong champion of Tilden in the 8t. Louis convention, being the head of the Georgia delegation. It is said by his friends that he is still for Tilden. He certainly was, up to the time of the ibhcations, which plier-dis]»atch pu to have made literally south. > impression in the foot section was thrown through a frame across ita side lines. The republicans are literally solid for Grant. If General Grant does not positive ly and over his own name decline to accept the nomination, there is no power on earth that can prevent the Georgia republicans from • giving hitu Georgia’s unanimous and enthusiastic vote in the nominating con vention. "If he will accept the nomination," said Colonel A. E. Buck, the best posted repub lican, probably, in the state, "hc will be elected as sure as thesun shines. I was for merly opiKiscd to Grant, and in 1872 I came very near going into the liberal movement. But his firm and patriotic conduct since then, and the milk and potato conduct of another person who may be nameless here, I am sure Grant is tbe man we need. I think there are but three real candidates— Grant, Conkling and Blaine; and I have named them in the order in which they stand in thc south. If Grant wanta Georgians vote in the aonvention, he can get it with out asking for it." Kx-United .States Marshal Smyth says: "It will be Grant, if Grant only says so. With Granrout, I think Georgia would divide between Blaine and Conkling, with the chances for Blaine. With Grant in, there would be no chance for anvbody. The country fears another uncertain election, and with Grant as the republican nominee, they would feel sure that everything was sure, and that there would be ’no dispute over the result. The democrats wouldn’t try to bulldoze him, and he wouldn't want Ui bulldoze the democrats.” It is useless to publish more interviews on this subject. There is no phase of varie ty in any of them. They are all enthusias tic for Grant, and violently abusive of Hayes. I do not think there lsa republican in Georgia who would apologize for Hayes, much less defend him. Apropos of Grant’s candidacy, Judge O. A. Ix*chrane, of this state, who, by the way, think- W. 8. Hancock is the most available democratic candidate, returned from Wash ington tlie other day. He told me that he felt perfectly assured tliat Grant intended to run, and that the movement in his favor wus being worked up by men who knew what they were about. He stated that he had his information from a gentleman who was in constant personal correstiondence with General Grant. Judge Lochrane is very intimate with Mr. Clanp, of ths Na tional Republican, and with Porter, Grant’s former private secretary. It is believed that he received his information from one of these gentlemen. C olorado’s Mine*. Special ill> patch to The Constitution. Leadville, Col., December 8.—The silver product of this camp exceeds the expecta tions of the most sanguine. New discov eries arc reported daily. The product of the leading mines has increased fiftyper cent, during the past two weeks. Two thousand tons yielding 20,000ounces of sil ver have been delivered this week, and 3,000 tons of a high grade are awaiting ‘ transportation. Leading ore buyers estimate the net product for the year of this camp at upwards of 13,000,000. Unfortunately this camp lias its share of mining litigation. A suit, which will probably prove to be one of the heaviest in the country, has been instituted. The new discovery against thc Little Chief mines under the law is that a vein can be followed
