Sherman “fumes with anger" at Tjft’s bayonet order, but feels that he must carry out his instruc tions. The Cincinnati Enquirer of Satur day says that tho Southern Railroad now lacks only six miles of comple tion to tho Kentucky river, which, when finished, will open tho road 104 miles from the Ohio river; also, that the directors expect to have the road complete and in running order from Cincinnati to Chattanooga by the Ist of May. The Marianu Courier reports the death In Jackson county, Fla., of Miss Nancy Couch, from the bite of u rattlesnako. Miss Couch was picking cotton and stepped upon a large rattlesnake, which bit her in several places on the leg. She died from the effects in twelve hours. The deceased was an orphan girl, just grown, of good character, and was much beloved by all who knew her. A train of ten car loads of honey from California arrived in New York one day last week. Each car con tained 30,000 pounds, making 200,000 pounds in ail. AH this honey was from the apiaries of Mr. J. S. Harbi son, of San Diego county, near the Mexican liuo. He has 3,000 hives, and employs fifteen men to tend them. Oo account o( the expense of transportation, &c., Mr. Ilnrbißon did not expect to realize more than tI,<XK) clear profit out of this immense shipment. Ohio.— The official vote, which will be found elsewhere, shows how very slim is the Republican majority. Out of a total of 031,065 totes—which is 88,382 larger than even the great vote of last year—the Republicans have only a majority of 4,647 for Gov ernor, and a plurality over Bell of only 6,446. In the Congressional vote the Republicans did not get any majority at all, and their plurality was smaller than that for Governor. Yet the Radical papers, since the election, are putting down Ohio as “certain'’ for Hayes, while they class Indiana (which gave tho Democrats a much larger majority proportion ate to the whole vote) as “doubtful.” A corhebpondent of the Baltimore Sun says the intelligence recoived from the States of Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin is such as to give the Democratic leaders hopes which they have not dared to entertain before. It is said that in Wisconsin the dis affection in the Republican party is so widespread, particularly among the Germans, as to make it not im probable that tho State will cast its Electoral vote for Tilden. In Michi gan it is alleged there is danger of the Republicans losing the State on account of the intense disgust at Secretary Chandler’s running the Republican election machine. Many of the most prominent Republican party leaders are refusing to tako nny interest in the canvass. Chemung.— Reports from all along the Democratic line, and especially from tb© States considered doubtful, are very cheering. The Democrats now entertain no doubts of carrying Indiana and New York; they will make a strong and hopeful light in Ohio; they believe that they can car ry both Pennsylvania and Illinois; and they have the best assurances that California and Oregon are safe. As the New York Herald, from its perch on the fence, says, the advan tages appear to be greatly on the side of the Democrats; and we may add that only some great rascality or outrage can defeat them. It is worthy of remarks that the first reports of all the elec tions this fall were more favorable to the Republicans than the fuller re turns sustained. In Maine, their first reported majority was cut down several thousand; in Colorado they at first boasted of a large majority, which was afierwards whittled down to almost nothing; West Virginia they claimedas close and doubtful in their first reports; Indiana was claimed by them for two days after the election; and in Ohio they claimed majorities which wore re duced by each successive later report until the official returns showed the battle to bo almost a drawn one. We do not suppose that this partiality for the Republicans was knowingly practiced by the reporters of the Press Association; but we think it more likely that it was due to a con certed effort of the Republican lead ers throughout the country to make big claims for effect upon public reel ing. Anew paper has been started In London, in which the advertisements are printed in different colored inks, the advertiser having a choice of colors. ■ A SAMPLE “OUTBAGB.” All who read tho accounts of the conflict at Colfax, in Grant parish, La., two years ugo, will romember that two of tho negro leaders wore Wm. E. Ward and E. H. Flowers, both colored. The farmer was the Republican Representative of the parish. Tho Democrats charged the getting up of tho difficulty in great part to them, and especially to Ward, who was believed to havo in stigated Kellogg to “appolnt”to pub lio offices In Colfax men greatly ob noxious and ralschlovous, in the place of those properly elected. Hut both Ward and Flowers arc acting with tho Democrats now, though still calling themselves Republicans. They do so because they thoroughly understand Packard, and know that he will attempt to rule the State by force and fraud—by getting up con flicts of races and then calling for military intervention,if he ehouldbe elected. They are making speeches on the Democratic side wherever in the State they can bo assured of pro tection,for the Radical negroes would quiokiy and violently put a stop to their speech if the Democrats did not protect them. These men, Wardand Flowers, are giving the secret or “in side" history of the Grant parish conflict, and they both charge that Kellogg, with tho knowledge of Packard, purposely got up that con flict, with a view of strengthening himsolf In his usurpation of the Ex ecutive chair. Flowers said, in a recent speech in New Orleans: “I was Ward’s Lieutenant, and both he aud I soon discovered what was their hellish plans. Kellogg, by tho ad vice of his spiritual adviser, S. B. Packard, appointed in Grant parish two sets of officers and told each of them/ to tako the offices. Kellogg and Packard knew a fight was ine vitable, which was just what they wanted. Kellogg wanted a few ne groes killed to make his hold to the usurped Gubernatorial chair a politi cal necessity In the eyes of the Northern people and tho National Congress. Ward and myself were to be killed; but though good friends of Kellogg and Packard at that time, we were still better friends to our selves, and we escaped with a pru denco which wo have never had oc casion to regret.” [Laughter.]’ Ward, lu his speech, said that he was instrumental in getting Kellogg to appoint the first set of officers— moderate Republicans who run, on the ticket with him in Grant parish; and that when be heard subsequent ly that Kellogg was appointing an other set, and that trouble was like ly to grow out of their conflicting claims, he went to Kellogg to remon strate. He thus describes the inter view : “I said to him : Governor, are not you doing wrong, you are issuing two sets or commissions for the same offices. Now you have two regular ly commissioned sheriffs, you have two Judges, two sets of Police Ju rors, two Constables; is not that wrong“ Well,” said he, “those officers I appointed a mouth ago are not qualified.” I said to him, “Gov ernor, would it not be better to refer to the Secretary of State, and see if tho oath has been filed ?” Mr. Des londe brought the books and proved that every one of them was properly qualified, and was exercising the du ties of his office. Mr. Rutland then said to the Governor, “the people don't like them, and if you don’t cliaDgo them there will be hell to pay.” "Mr. Rutland then took his hat and went off, aud Kellogg said; “Hold on, Judge, you go up there and settle it, and you can tell Nash to go ahead, and I will forward his commission.” He was appointed, for I saw his commission. Well, these were the orders Kellogg gave to Mr. Rutland. I did not go up to Colfax for two weeks afterwards, and when I got to Colfax, Mr. Hadnot was there with about twenty men to settle up the differences between the two sets of officers.- Dan Shaw, who was the sheriff first appointed by Mr. Kellogg, came to my house and said there is going to bo trouble to-mor row. I said what for ? He said Mr. Hadnot is coming to town hero to take possession of the office, and I am going to deputize thirty or forty men to protect the peaoc. “Mr. Shaw deputized thesfl men, aud then Mr. Hadnot came into Col fax with his men. The way it was settled I did not know, but it seems the trouble commenced at Colfax with the two sheriffs that Mr. Kellogg ap pointed, with the instructions to go up there and raiso a fight, and make a political capital out of tho dead ne groes for his party.” "Well, the white people, with Mr. Kellogg's authority, camo into Col fax to take possession of tho offices, and Mr. Shaw, tho Republican Sher iff, summoned all the colored people to resist thorn. So tho white and colored people were brought togeth er in coufliot, and many colored men were killed. It was brought about directly by Kellogg, who planned the movement, and knew what tho con sequences were going to be. I had no more to do with it than any of you gettlomen,” Ward also said that General Long street proposed on Thursday before the bloody Sunday In Colfux, to go up and settle it, but Kellogg said they must send fer Packard, and Packard was sent for, but ho and Kellogg did not want it settled with out a conflict. This is, if the truth could begotten out of the conspirators, about the way in which most of the conflicts between the whites and the blacks, ending so disastrously to the negroes, were brought about. Tho Radical loaders desired them for tho pur pose of “firing tho Northern heart” by tales of the “bloody shirt,” aud tho Radical carpet-baggers of the South wanted them for the purpose of putting or sustaining themselves in power. The pity Is that the ig norant negro dupes, f.nd not the planning Radical white leaders of both sections, had to take the conse quence. There is a colored man in Hartford. Conn., who will drive a good-sized nail into a plank with one thump of his forehead, and with several blows can send the nail “clean' home” into the mortar between the bricks. A day or two ago he was requested to send a nail “right in” with one blow. He did the task, but has now a bad lookiug bruise on his forehead, the first bruise, he says, he has had in all I his years of practice. I'EUERAL MI.'PKUVINOBM. We learn from the Macon Tele i/raph that a special term of the United States Court was to have been opened in that city yesterday, by the Marshal and Clerk for tho purpose of filing petitions for tho appoint ment of supervisors of election, at which Representatives to Congress are to bo voted for, as provided by title 26, “Elective Franchises,” sec tions 2014 and 2015 revised stotutes of the United States, which Court will remain open until November 7, 1870. Mr. Beckett, Chief Supervisor of Elections* will be iu attendance. No doubt the Radicals all ever the State have designated, or will soon designate, some bitter partisan of theirs for each voting place. We be lieve that the law under which these Supervisors are appointed provides for tho eclection of one from each po litical party, and confines the ap pointment to those places a few of whose votes request such supervisors. If this be so, our Democratic friends should see to it that one Supervisor, wherever any are appointed, shall be au intelligent, reliable and fearless Democrat, who will carefully pro tect their interests on the day of the election. Tho appointment of these Supervis ors is not under Attorney General Taft’s late outrageous order, though bis scheme contemplates the aid of Federal Supervisors wherever any dispute may arise. While the offi cious and designing intermeddling with the rights of the States; but as woof the South cannot prevent it, it is the part of prudenoe to checkmate it as far as possible by securing good and [capable men at Supervisors on tho Democretic side. rONDKVMED GKOItGM NEW*. —Tho says that a firm of druggists from Columbus havo rented one of tho now stores in Grant’s Capital building, Atlanta. —Atlanta ConutUution: John H. Smith, of Long Branch, Tatnall county, has been in office 52 years, and itas recontly received a commission from Gov. Tmith for four years longer.

This being a losing game, Mr. Thomas determined to put a stop to it. He loaded a gun, placed tho muzzle against a window that opened by sliding, then attached one end of a string to the trigger of tho gun and tho other end to a nail ip tho window. On last Friday night about ton o’clock, two negro boys living in that vicinity, aged respectively 17 and 12 years, wont out to hunt pine. The oldest went to Mr. Thomas’ storo and be gan to work at the window; the gun flrod and tho negro fell dead, shot through tho heart. —Tho Atlanta Constitution says that Mr. F. H.

Troup had, by his will, made provision for old Isaac’s support as long as ho, lived. —The Thomaston Herald reports tho burning of tho gin-house of Mr. G. I). Per due, cf Upson county. He was ginning cotton about 12 o’clock at night, when from somo cause tho cotton was ignited and the gin bouse and all in it wore burned.
