Addna the Hawkinsville Dispatch has been put in possession of facts relating to another and quite as serious phase of the land stealing business which has heretofore iped exposure. The Dispatch says that their mode of procedure is to forge deeds and plats and grants. One of the swindlers sold lands in the neighborhood of Hawkinsville, took notes for the same, and then discounted the notes to a citi- aen of Hawkinsville for fifty cents on the dollar, and the same person sold lots ol IMPORTANT.

While engaged in their le gitimate occupation they were ordered by the Newfoundlanders to desist. The Americans refused, whereupon they were assailed in force,'several of their seines were destroyed and they were driven off. For tiiis the United Slates demanded from Great Britain $103,000 as damages. This government paid Great Britain 55,000,000 for the privilege of fishing in Canadian waters, and in return it was agreed in the Washington treaty that fish should be admitted from Canada free of the general principles, i object of the law waa to prevent extortion and un just discrimination on freights wholly within the limits of this state. The law requires the commission to re vise its action at any time it may see fit, and this provision is a just one, aa all are abject to e-rors. Many railroad tariffs are changed by hundreds of special rates. The commission was not expected to be perfect- It was intended to fix a limit, above which no railroad should charge, battogive ail reasonable latitude, in com pliance with the law, below such figures. After patient study, the "Standard” Tariff was made, upon which all changes have been made for different roads thus far. Tbe roads have full license to charge as low as they please on passengers, but can not go over 4 cento per mile. Delegates, clergymen, 1,000 mile or any other tickets can be sold at reduced rates, without any restriction, as the commission desire to see the people travel aa cheaply as possi ble. The law relating to passengers ' different from that for freights. The first circular of the commissioners was to call on the people and the railroads for infor mation. The commission sits as a court hear the grievances from cor porations or persons. H other benefit is derived, it gives people satisfsetion to know that there is a tribu nal for them-to go before when not satis fied witli the roads. It is suggested that the railroads will be called on for farther information soon, so as to examine more fully into their condition, and commence upon contracts. Suggestions aa to needed legislation will be made later. Yesterday the tariff was put in opera tion, and we believe the commissioners will be successful in their efforts to prevent extortion and just discrimination If the rates pinch at any point, or on any one article, let tbe people lay their grievance before the commission in a proper form, They will have a patient hearing, or their papers a careful perusal. Let every individual as well as each railroad try the tariff patiently. Xo state has ever abolished a railroad commission where Once established, and vre feel assured that the people of Georgia will sustain theirs when they come to fully appreciate the scope and extent of its labors.

The weather-wise tell us that during these months the tropical cur rents from the Mexican gulf and country are engaged in a series of struggles with the polar currents that come down front the ltocky mountains or the ice-bound lakes. In some years these struggles are not very severe, but in others the efforts of nature to establish a thermal equili brinm are attended lty disastrous storms in which the air is transformed in vapor-laden whirling demons of destrue dion. This aerial warfare is a matter great uncertainty and variable condi tions. Sometimes the dangerous currents sweep over a Urge stretch of country. The tornadoes that carried death and ruin to central portions of the gulf and south Atlantic states a few years ago, are illustrations that the people Georgia can easily recall. The Marsh field storm was of a similar nature, first gathered headway in^Ozark connty. A rkansas, and traveled in a northeasterly direction across Missouri, Illinois and portion ol Wisconsin to waste ito force on the broad surface of Lake Michigan. Its track was narrow, but its strength and velocity were fearful. It touched the earth’s surface here and there, rebound ing to again dip down, sweeping ever thing before it. It was, say all who saw it, a black, funnel-shaped cloud, lined with white iDside, whirling witli incon ceivable rapidity, accompanied with thunder and lightning, and generally with sheets ot rain, sucking everything into vortex, and whirling it oat again over the edges of* its demoniacial funnel. It was far more powerful than any other storm of the season, aUhongh ever since the fourth of last month the northwest has been subjected to dangerous winds and tornadoes. But all of tlie season's storms have not been of a sweeping nature. The one which destroyed Macon, Mississippi, Sunday night seems to have been of local origin and career. The day, says one correspondent, “had been unusually cloudy and snltry, and at about half past eight o’clock on Sunday night two ter rible currents of air, one from the north east, the other from the southwest, bear ing clonds charged with electricity, were hurled together right over the ill-fated town. It was a war of storms.’' The Macon storm did not differ from the Marshfield storm except the respect that the one swept over large section, while the other struck the little town of Macon and was never heard of again. The conflicting currents cante in each case from similar directions. The scientists differ about the imme diate future. Some think that condi tions exist—the snows and extreme cold oi the northwest and ihennusttal heat of the gulf of Mexico—that will produce in this country more displays of storm- energy and many more torrential rains. But as the snows are now confined to the Rocky mountains and the very high lands above Dacotah, it is probable that the balance of this year’s crop of tornadoes will be expended on the country west of theMississippi. The currents will certain- ly hare to acquire a new direction if they wreak destruction in the Atlantic states. Heavy rains and high winds may, how ever, be expected as offshoots or eddies of the dangerous currents that seem be necessary in order to reach a thermal compromise between the cold of the Rockies and the heats of the golf. England’* Slew Rnlera. The new English cabinet is a very strong one. At its head is the uncrowned king of England, while the liberal leader in the house of lords is the secretary of state for foreign affairs, and the leader the lower house is the secretary of state for India. These appointments alone a sufficient guaranty that the entire cabi net will be made up of the best men that the liberals can master and that it will be able to com mand a majority on all important questions in the house of commons. For the present the strength of the new ministry will be measured by Mr. Glad stone’s remarkable popalarity; bntas the disgust over Beaconsfield’s policy dies oat, and the enthusiasm over Mr. Glad stone’s mental achievements vanishes, the acts and propositions of the cabinet will begin to be weighed carefnllv, and the party in power will be put upon merits. And right here Mr. Gladstone’! varied experience will come his assistance. Let ns glance at his long career. He was first sent to parliament in 1832, while the fight over the reform bill was at its height, and presently came to be regarded as a “rising young man.' It was on this ground that Sir Robert Peel appointed him jnnior lord of the treasury in ’34, and sdvanbed him to be under secretary of the colonies a few months later. Then, Sir R. Peel's brief administration ended, Mr. Gladstom who was re-elected—had an opportunity of showing that he was even stronger the opposition than he had been in the government. This characteristic has stood by him bis lib long. Be is one ly fought his own party, his earnestm as a reformer keeping him always ahead of the body of his associates. Tbe son of a “warm” merchant of Liverpool, a baro net, he was brought up to believe in tory principles; but this belief weakened as his mind matured. In 1851 he formally attached himself to the liberal party. Following this change of base—in July, 1852, when Lord Aberdeen formed his “coalition” cabinet—he was made chan cellor of the exchequer; a position that he also held for a short time in Lord Palmerston’s first ministry and to which he was again appointed when Lord Pal merston took office for the second time, in 1859. During this period he sat the university of Oxford, being con- tinuously returned thence from 1817 nn- 1865. In tbe latter year he was de feated in his old constituency, but was returned from south Lancashire. Lord Palmerston died in October, 1865. Mr. iadstone succeeded him as leader of the house of commons. He was now ap proaching what has hitherto been re garded the culminating point of his ca reer. In 1S66 he brought in a reform bill. This bill was defeated, and the gov ernment resigned, and so it fell out that Lord Beaconsfield’s reform bill—against which Mr. Gladstone fought bitterly— was passed. But Mr. Gladstone’s triumph was not lost; it was only delayed. In the early part of the session of1868hebrouglit a series of resolutions having for their object the disestablishment and diaen- dowment of the Irish church. Lord Bea consfield’s ministry was out-voted in the conlmons, but the lords held their ground. Then came the appeal to thc country. The general election ot 1868 placed the liberals in power, and Mr. Gladstone, the head of the party, was made premier. Tbe series of great reforms effected during that notable parliament are still fresh in the public mind—tbe disestablishment of the Irish church, the abolition of purchase in the army, the passage of the elementary edu cation, judicature and ballot acts, the ne gotiation of the treaty of Washington and the settlement of the Alabama claims by arbilration were among the results of Mr. Gladstone's administration. Indeed, lie pressed reform so fast that the nation be came alarmed. When he brought in his Irish university education bill a stand was made. The Catholic members of the liberal party voted with the opposition, and the government was defeated by a rote of 287 to 284. Mr. Gladstone at once resigned, and the queen very gladly accepted his resignation and sent for Mr. Disraeli; but as he declined to take office, the cabinet was somewhat rerncdcled and was continued near ly a year longer—until January, 1874. Then came the sudden announce ment of a general election; followed by a most decisive defeat. Mr. Gladstone himself was re-elected, but rarely occu pied his seat in the house of commons; and the ensuing year he published, in a letter to Lord Granville, his formal re nunciation of the leadership of the lib eral party. Bnt the gods dispose in these matters: Mr. Gladstone no more conld resign his leadership than he could be restrained from possessing it by the per sonal animosity oi the queen. Over his own declared desire to keep ont of public life, over the undoubted desire of the queen to keep him oat of office, he once more is at the head of the liberal party, and the liberal party once more is in power.

He leaves congress just when he, a young man, could be most useful in it We claim, indeed, that a man with his rapacity for public employment, and with his knowledge of public affairs, has no right to decline further service while he is in the enjoyment of good health. His district will do the whole state, and for that matter, tbe country a service by compelling him to serve in the house in which he has won an enviable reputation No man need desire a wider field than the lower house has afforded Mr. Blount His letter, addressed to the Macon Tele graph, shows that he has no sufficient ground for declining a re-election. He simply says: Numerous solicitations that I should consent to become a candidate for the nomloaffui for tbe 47lo congress have been received by me. Frank- nesa to a constituency which has so frequently honored me with a seat in the house of represen- tatirta of the United States, suattests that I should take thi- open method of replying. I shall nor be a candidate, but a co-worker with the democratic party in securing the election ol en acceptable successor to myself. For the past honors which have been bestowed upon me. my heart shall ever turn in grateful recognition to the people ol the Cth congressional district The sermon of the Rev.T. DeWitt Tal- mage on southern affairs appears in this morning’s Constitution’, the crowded state of the paper during the past week precluding an earlier publication. The sermon was delivered in his own church immediately after the distinguished preacher returned from his southern visit. We lay the entire discourse before ottr readers, becanse it is in direct con trast with thc speeches and articles of many who have visited the south with sinister motives. Dr. Talmage’s utter ances breathe the true spirit of Chris tianity and patriotism. If all who visit the south would come with motives as disinterested as his, and would ever after wards tell the truth as heroically as he has, discord would be little known in the future, and peace and fraternity wonld be speedily restored, Mn. Sherman is paying off the public debt very rapidly, the reduction for April slightly exceeding twelve millions. The wily secretary is managing the treasury books so that they will doubtless show similar favorable balance on the first day of June. He will not be apt to care what they show on the first of July, and then the truth will come out. At pres ent his shooters are carrying the im pression that their chief should receive as much credit on account of the reduc tions in the public debt as he could ex pect if he took the money out of hisown pocket. Dun dispatches state that a bottle has been picked up, containing a few lines from the ill-fated training ship Atalanta. If this bottle was thrown into the sea by one of the doomed crew, the ship went down on the sixteenth of March in hurricane. She was a heavy-plated ves sel exactly alike the Earydicc that went down iD the channel with a loss of 400 lives. The Atalanta set sail from the Ber mudas on February 7th for England, having 300 young seamen on board be^ sides its regular crew. Not a word of news has since been heard from this ves sel unless the bottle just picked np con tained some. Blaine has gobbled np the entire Pa cific coast, and is now free to apply all his energies to the half dozen of interior states that bold conventions next week. It is only about a month to the meeting of the Chicago convention, and the tri angular contest among the republicans will get hotter and more uncertain as approaches. The Pennsylvania mod Connecticut conventions have resulted substantially in favor of Mr. Tiiden. General Hancock is a Pennsylvanian, and the fail ore of his friends to give him tbe solid vote ol his native state must be fatal to hia boom.

I’m glad of it. He talks splendid ly and I enjoyed it. He is doing us justice. One time there* was a man who had a wild boy, and one Cold night he told him to go out to the wood pile and bring in a back log to put on »l»e fire. Tne boy went, but he never came back In a hurry. He took shin ss a sailor and went siluvvr the world „ .... and was cone fifteen year-, but he came h o{ , he Cincinnati Southern railroad borne one cold night, and looking through I d in be puUed byone of ,he maxnifi. the window saw the old roan at prayers 1 - - •• — • So he hunted round the wood pile aud shouldered a big stick, and when prayer: were over he walked in, and says he, “Dad dy, here’s that back log you sent me after.” Bro. Talmage has brought in the back log at last, but we might have froze to death several times awaiting on him. Our northern brethren are mighty slow scholars. Every year or so some one or two of em come down to make a recognisance and they go back and say we are all right- great people—splendid people, have been slandered awfully and so-fortb, and right straight we hold up our heads and wag our toils just like a dog when he gets a kii.d word from his master. Mr. Beecher come dowq, and Dr. Vincent come down, and General Grant come down, and General feherman and several others, and they go back and say, “boys there’s no harm in them a.■■ .1 .AHih ihan arn all riohf " hnt fellera down «outh—they are all right,” but bless my soul nobody believes em, and we have got to enlighten em one st s time just like we did Brother Talmage, and its going to take two or three thousand years to do it. Bro. Talmage made the best talk for us that’s been made, snd tbere’ssomecomfortin iMhougb I dou’t see as how it’s going to do us any particular good. We want our rights. We want our crippled soldiers snd soldiers' widows pensioned just like them on the other side, srd I want some great man like Dr. Talmage to get up on a stomp and say it ought to be done. 1 ve said it before, and I’m going to keep saying it, there ain’t agoing to oe any real peace un til we are put np on an equality with ’em in every respect. When an old man makes a will and cots out some of the children it always breaks up the pence in that family, and tkongb they may compromise like Bill Vanderbilt did with Neil and his sisters, it don’t restore psternal harmony by no means. We are sorter like tbe niggers in tbe Atlanta convention. Wc want onr shared Uncle Sam’s property. They can't S ut ns off with a little lorg delayed praise. Ir Talmage savs tbe north has not done os justice. We'll, that's so: but we want to know about wbat time they will do it. There was a darkey in the calaboose and he sent for Judge Underwood and told him what be was putin there for, and ihe judge •aid: “Well, Jack, they cau't put you in here for that. Its against the law.’- “Is dat so. Mss John,’* said Jack “Iis so. Jack,” said the judge, “ihey can t put you in here for that. "But I is in here now,” siysJsck. "Mss John, shore as you’re born I uia here right now.” Somehow 1 can't help thinking of thi sort of things whether they fit np exactly or not. Old Iran I sain came to me the other day and wanted to know when con gress was going to do anythiog for the col ored man. He said he had been voting for em evei since the war and they had prom ised to do something but they dident do narv thing.

When I a«ked him who he wanted for president, he said some of em wxa gwine to vote for General Grant and men. cent locomotives of ttiat line.

The Georgia delegation will doubilesi go by special train on Wednesday. The Cincinnati Southern dis plays a good deal of enterprise in sending a srxeial train to Atlanta. The arrival and departure of thU train will attract consider- ab'e interest in this city, as it will be the first full train of passenger coaches of the rincinna’i Southern ever seen in this sec tion. Pennsylvania Democracy. Resolved. 1. That we, the democratic p Pennsylvania in convention assembled, our vows ol fidelity to the fundamental pies proclaimed and practised by the illu men who settled our free institutions and founded the democratic party and protected and preserved them. .... •J. Thai the Just powers of the federal union, rights o r the states, and the liberties of the people are vital ports of one harmonious system, and to rave each part in its whole constitutional vigor is to "save the life of the nation.’’ ?m That tbe democratic party maintain?-, u it ever has maintained, that the rai itaryare nnd ought to be in all thiugs subordinate to the civil authority. It denied, as it ever has denied, the right of*the federal administration to keep on foot at the general expense a standing army to invade tbe states for political purposes without regard to the constitution* restrictions, to con trol the people at thep >lli protect and encour age the fraudulent counts*r v oti*. or to inangu- rate candidal. ■ rejected by the majority. 4. That tbe right to a free ballot iq the right cf preservative of all rights and the only means of a peacefuly redressing grievances and reforming abuses. Tbe presence at the polls of a regular military force and ol hosts of hireling officials claiming power to arrest and imprison citizens without* warrant or hearing destroys all free dom of elections and upturns jhc vtry foundation of se f-government. We call cUlzms to aid us in preserving ui< __ _ institutions from' destruction by these imperial methods of superrurine tbe right of suffrage and coercing popular will; in keeping the way to the ballot box open and free, as it was to our fathers; in removing the army V> a safe distance when the people assemble to express their sovereign pleas ure at tbe p oils, and in securing obedience to their will when legally expressed by their votes. 5. That Rutherford B. Hayes having been placed in power against the well known and le gaily expressed will of the people Is tfce repre sentative of con«piracjr and his claim of right to surround tbe ballot boxes with troops and depu ty marshals to intimidate aud obstruct eleuto-s, snd hi* unprecedented use of the veto to main tain this, is an insult and menace to the country. d. That tbe democratic party, as of old. favors the constitutional currency of gold and silver and paper convertible into coin. 7. That we are opposed to the system of subsi dies by the general government aud to the ap propriations of public moneys or credit to any ob ject bnt the public service. g. That the democratic party renews it* ex- prerrion of sympathy with tabor and it* promise of protection to its rights. 9. That wo look with alarm upon the pr lion* of the great transportation compjntoL and until they accept the cons iration of IKK. in good iaitn. thev should remain the object* of toe utmost vigilance and jealousy by both the larare and the people. JO. Relates to local affaire. 11. That ihe great fraud of by which, upon a false count of the electoral vote* of three states, the candidate defeated at the polls was sealed in the presidential chair, was ihe most deadly blow ever aimed at our system of repre sentative government.

Hammond’s speech on the trade-mark bill gained him a complete victory. The com mittee reporting the bill, said the amendments to it were not those of the committee, but of Mr. Ham mond. The opponents of the bill cited this fact, and urged that the committee did not agree with Mr. Hammond, but notwith standing. the bill as amended by Hammond pa sed by a decided and large majority. This serves to show how strong Mr. Ham mond is with tbe house. Telegrams from New Hampshire report the state as anti-Grant. Senator Logan, who has returned from Illinois, announces that after a conference witli Grant be is able to state that Grant is in tbe bands of his friends, and that they will not with draw him until be is beaten, no matter bow many ballots are taken. It is conceded that Grant is de featedin Maryland, and that8bermar* will have that state. Mermen will have eighteen delegates from North Carolina Tbe anti-tbir I-termers are at work, but it matters not who ia nominated by the repub licans, a democratic victory is m store for the country. Postmaster-General Key will leave the cabinet. The president has decided to ap point him to the vacant judgeship in Teo- tbey already had there. Two hack leads went to Nacoocbee valley where the big find alluded to above had been made. Among these was the Messrs.

Altogether there is a boom in mines, mining lands and interests in this vicin ity. Messrs. Van Bleck & Son, who are here representing a substantial mining company are making large and profitable purchases Others are doing likewise. There is no sort of doubt that this sec tion is as rich in gold denosilsas the Black hills, or any other of the famous sections which have passed into the history of the country. It is ta-iy of access too, and unless we are much mistaken the next ten years will see every valley and hillside alive with men delving deep in the bowels of the earth for tbe precious metals that lie buried be neath its aurfaec.
