* ■
Wx learn from a speolal to the Au
gusta Constitutionalist that a large
number of local delegations, peti
tions, &0., reached Atlanta ou
Wednesday—all favoring Hill.
Tub Pbople Brjoioino.—A gentle
man who left Atlanta by the after
noon trafti of yesterday, for West
Point, Inform us that the people
along the lines advised by telegraph
of the election of Mr. Hill as Senator,
exhibited their joy at the result by
cheering and congregating at the sta
tions as the train passed. The live
liest gratification was everywhere
manifested.
Passed.— The bill organizing a tri
partite commission to decide all dif
ferences between the two houses of
Congress In regard to tha "count” of
the Electoral votes passod the House
of Representatives yesterday. It
now goes to the President, who Is
said to have promised to sign It. We
shall soon see how It operates, and
must abide by the result, us both
branohes of Congress and the Presi
dent will be bound to support it.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon 1 elegraph writes concerning
the four colored Representatives—
Adams, Bacon, Blue and Bountz—
who voted for Dawson A. Walker for
Senator: "It is said,but for the truth
of the report I canuot vouch, that
they are acting under instructions
of Mf. Jonathan Noroross, and that
the motto he Inculcates on thcsd, his
pupils, is anybody but Hill. These
colored Representatives are remark
ably well behaved men; Intelligent
in appearance, respectful and yet
dignified in deportment, and faithful
iu their attendance on the sessions of
this body.
CmciiMOTACEs Alter Oases,—A well
known visitor of mud-houses has
come across a singular incident. He
went to a private lunatic asylum
which he had previously visited, and,
seeing there a distinguished-looking
man sitting moodily alone, went up
and s|4d to him, "How do you do? I
tblCltlh&veseen jou before. May
I ask yourjiftme?” "My name!” re
turned tbs man fiercely, “I am Alex
ander the Great !’, "Why,” said the
visitor, who suddenly remembered
having alread bad a discussion with
the man, “ the last time I was hore
you were St. Pauli” “Yes, of course,’
the man rejoined quickly, “but t hat
was by the first wire.”
Judoe David Davis was elected
United States Senator for Louisiana
on the 40th balloting. The vote
stood Davis 101, Lawrence 91. Haines
8, Logan 1, Pprish 1.
Judge Davis appears to have re
ceived the unanimous support of the
Democrats and Independents. His
election may prevent his choice as
one of the Justioos on the Electoral
commission, the Republicans con
tending that it identifies him with
the Democratic party and therefore
Impairs his impartiality. It is possi
ble that in this way it may be made
to operate to the disadvantage of the
Democratic party lu the settlement
of the Presidential contest.

Spirit f tbo XimwJ
Mr. Willis was gifted by nature with
more than common refinement, and In a
sense of the beautiful In art, and of or
namenia! art, he was a great Connoisseur.
In person bo was so elegant that his ap
pearance required toning down with
plain dress, for ordinary faahionahle cos
tume made him appear like a dandy. lie
therefore wore a hat with a flattened
brim, and wider than the mode called for;
but a respect for the fitness of things in
duced him to wear a Collar not rising
above his shoulders, in order to show a
liberal length of neck, rightly consider
ing that a high collar detracted from
both the dignity and intellectually of the
man. He also affected colors neutral and
and rather negative. Of all my acquain
tances iu this country, there were none
who respected my calling as a reporter
or fashions more highly than N. P. Wil
lis, except, perhaps, Edgar A. Foe, who,
'hough a handsome person, was like a
brilliant which required setting in order
to display its beauties. He required the
adornment of dress for the proper dis
play of his many excellencies. He af
fected purple velvet, and doted on pur
ple as a color in costume. Edgar A. Poe
was the best conversationalist that I ever
knew. Willis truly Baid of him that his
conversation was, at times, almost supra
mortal in eloquence. His voice was mod
ulated with a wonderful skill.

fchuttne Of the Wheat Belt.
Sew Orleans Tlmei.)
The St. Louis Republican publishes
an interesting article on the subject
of the culture of wheat It claims
that the wheat belt is shifting from
the Northwestern States to the Mid
dle, Western and Southwestern
States. The result of Wheat-growing
in Minnesota, lowa and Wisconsin,<
according to Mr. Oliver Dalyrimple,
during a period of twenty years,
shows a steadyldecMne of production.
Starting with a production of twenty
two to twenty-five bushels per acre,
the yield inside of five years dropped
to nineteen to twenty bushels. In
the next five years the drop was to
fifteen to seventeen bushels, and in
the next five years It was to ten to
twelve bushels, until now it is esti
mated that Minnesota will not pro
duce more than seven to nine bushels
of wheat to the acre.
It is assumed that at this rate whe at
growing will be abandoned in the
States named, and the attention of
farmers there turned to the produc
tion of corn and other arcicles less
calculated to exhaust the soil. How
ever this may be, we have long be
lieved it was only a question of time
for more Soui herly States to take the
lead in wheat culture as possessing
the climate and soil best adapted to
the production of that cereal. The
flour beet suited to foreign com
merce is made from wheat grown in
Southern Illinois, Southern Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Kansas,
and to this list of States there will be
speedily added Arkansas, (Texas,
Colorado, New Meiico and the In
dian country. ~ f
A riOt'D DAY FDD OEOBUM.
The Legislature of Georgia yester
day made a large contribution to
wards the restoration of the intellect
ual superiority of the South In the
Senate of the United States. The
election of Benjamin H. Hill to that
body places Georgia again In as
proud a position as when she had a
Borrion or a Toombs to defend her
honor and uphold her interests—
Senators who were the peers of any
orators or statesmen In the land. It
will also do much to strengthen the
Democratic side in the Senato by the
acquisition of ono who will always
be found ready and able to meet in
debate such Radical champions as
Morton, Blaine, Edmunds, &c. Let
other States, in imitation of Georgia,
elect to the Senate their ablest and
brightest men—men full of vigor and
zeal—and it may soon regain the re
nown which distinguished it in the
days of Calhoun, Webster and Clay.
The Legislature, In this election,
has undoubtedly carried out the
wishes of the people of Georgia. We
believe that it is no exaggeration to
say that fully two-thirds of the peo
ple ardently desired the election of
Mr. Hill. We know that this was the
case in this section of the State, and
the votes of its representatives attest
that they were awaro of It. The rep
resentatives of this county, especial
ly, would have delighted to render to
their distinguished fellow-citizen and
admirable State officer, Gov. Smith,
the compliment of their votes, had
they not known that their people
were “terribly in earnest” In de
manding the election of Mr. Hill,
Wo have reported the action of the
people in some five or six counties
this week, all calling on their repre
rentattves to vote for Mr. Hill. Had
he not been elected sooner, there
would doubtless have been many
more such meetings in various coun
ties to-day. No doubt these expres
sions of the popular will bad much
to do in bringing about the happy
termination of the contest yester
day.
The canvass has boon an acrimo
nious one, and it is a mutter for con
gratulation that it was not prolonged
in tbe Legislature. Wo trust that
now all bittCr feelings will subside,
and that every Georgian who loves
his State and glories In her triumphs
will accord to Mr. Hill the justioe of
a fair judgment according to his acts.
All admit his transcendent abllitj-,
and few question his patriotism or
political honesty, but some distrust
his discretion. He has now been
elected to a position in which he will
have occasion for tbe exercise of all
these great quailities, and quite like
ly, like the prophet of old, he may
need the help of his people to hold
up his hands in the battle before
him. Let us give him a fair trial, a
fair chance, and a cheerful support
whenever wo may believe him to be
right, and his friends will be griev
ously disappointed if he does not no
bly and gloriously illustrate Georgia
in tho national councils.
An Unlikely Miory.
Beverly Nash, one of the black
sheep in the South Carolina Senate,
is reportod to have testified in Wash
ington that an attempt was made, ho
being one of the Republican Electors,
to bribe him to vote for Tilden and
Hendricks in the Electoral College.
Nash says that the agent was Col.
Childs, of Columbia, who has been
subpoenaed.
The reputation of Nosh for veraci
ty is as high os his reputation for
honesty. As it came to us, in tho
shape of a floating rumor, the sto
ry was widely different from that
whiob Nash now tells. Mr. Timothy
Hurley, os pure a patriot as
Nosh, was troubled in his mind,
and, although a dose friend
and appointee of Mr. Cham
berlain, wh* had made him
county Treasurer of Charleston,
avowed his intention, Republican as
he was.to throw away his vote In the
South Carolina Electoral College, so
as to ensure the election of Tilden—
if he oould be made to believe that
the Tilden Electors were honestly
elected and counted out in this State.
He was not made to believe it. But,
as the rumor went, Nash was fear
ful of losing an opportunity, and
offered to yota for Tilden upon con
dition that when the vote was cust
he should be paid a considerable
sum of money. This leaked
out and, when the Repub
lican Electors met on the eventful
day at the State-House, two of the
number drew their little pocket pis
tols. aisnounced that there was trai
tor in tho camp, and swore big oaths
that they would blow out the brains
of the suspected Eleotor if a vote was
cast for Tlldou. Nash and Hurley
both voted for Hayes.
The Committee, while they are
about it, may as well get to the bot
tom facts. When they do, they will
find that the proffers of the Republi
can Electors, if any were made, were
indignantly rejected by the South
CarolinaDemooracy, and that Nash’s
revelations are an Ingenious fabri
cation. Any two of the Republican
Electors oould have been induced to
"save the country” for the sum said
to have been offered to Nash!— Chas.

In St. Augustine the recent cold
weather was the severest, and of
longer duration, than any that has
been known there for many years.
s Eor twelve successive nights ice
formed, doing great damage to fruit
and young orange trees and plants
of various kinds. Although a large
portion of the orange crop was de
stroyed, there yet remains upon the
trees thousands of uninjured oranges
In the interior of the State the dam
age was greatest.
An old bachelor, immensely rich and dan
gerously ill, sends for his notary to make
his will leaving his fortune to an acqian
tance not a relative.
“What 1" says the notary, “you bequeath
it all to him—leave it out of the family
when you have a relative living, a neph
ew—”
“Yes," grumbled the uncle, “a nice
nephew he is; a spendthrift, a beggar, a
scapegrace that I havn’t laid eves on for
ten years, that 1 don’t want to see for a
hundred." ,
"But,” says the notary, "In those ten
years he has changed; he has grown
steady; hp is famous ; he is one of our
foremost artist*; he is rich.”
“Rich?”
“ Yes, rich; he doesn’t want your lega
cy. He has more property of his own
than he knows what to do with."
"That is different. 1 make him my
universal legatee.”

The ••Beautiful *uw.“
AND THE UGLY PBHSIDBSTIAL COMPUCA
TIOX.
Editor Times: I should before
have written to you occasionally, if
not oftener, but in this rural section
we have been blookaded with ice and
mud and communications with post
offices considerably cut off. The old
year was shrouded with white and
the cradle of tbe new rocked on
fairy rollers. Tbe ice king was ar
rayed In richer apparel than Solomon
in all his glory or Eastern Sultans lu
"babarlc pearls and gold:”
Touching with hi* tingling wind
True* and ahrubs ou srery hand,
TUI they change, tranaformed to eight,
Into dwarfa and giants white.
His head and hairs were white like
wool, and brilliant diamonds of blue,
red, green and yellow glittered and
hung from his cars. No "Poet’s eye
In a fine frenzy rolling’’—no novelist
with the wildest imagination—no
Arabian under the influence of opium
or hasehiab, ever saw, conceived or
described a more weird or gorgeous
scene. It was a voiceless mockery of
all man’s pretensions and efforts of
imitation, and presented to the hum
plest and most isolated mind a more
magnificent painting than ever
adorned the court or palace of any
earthly King or Emperor.
I turn however from mighty nature
to puny man—from Ice-Kings to
United States Presidents. Who is to
bo our next President? This ques
tion from the papers we see occa
sionally, is all absorbing and appears
as difflgplt of solution as the riddle
of the sphinx or the untieing
of the Gordian knot. Have
we no Jildipus among our statesmen
and none but so called Alexanders
over ready to cut with brute bands
and swords every legal knot which
their weak brain cannot with skill
and patience unclose? Our faith in
modern political leaders, never great
enough to remove mountains, is still
a mustard seed. We, however, bo-
lieuo that in spite of the official cor
ruption which “bolls and bubbles”
around, that tho germ of vitality yet
exists in the masses of the people,
and will, with intelligent cul
ture," spring forth with renewed
life and strength and beauty. The
sky, It i3 true, is not without a cloud
even to tljo most blind. The black
specks here, and there, and
everywhere visible upon our politi
cal firmament, may soon gather into
a tempest und beat upon our naked
heads with its pitiless peltlngs.
What with amendments to the con
stitution admitted to be the results
of fraud and force and intended to
degrade and ostracise superior merit
and talent —with bayonets for bal
lots, and Irresponsible committees
sent out on every occasion to supply
the deflciences of ignorant Congress
men and the demands of despotic
Presidents, the wondor is not that
our representative government is full
of wounds, bruises and putrification,
but, Is still able to open and shut its
eyes and kick feebly when It is
stuck with a sword. It proves
that tho original constitution of the
patient was good, to so survive tho
eternal warm water and blood-let
tings of our political Sangrados.
But enough about our muddles—
Presidential and otherwise. I wish,
and I think I echo the wish of thou
sands, that ye editors would bore
less in one hole. Bacon and greens
are very good, but we countrymen are
apt to get a little tired of bacon and
greens, and greens and baoon, at
breakfast, dinner and supper. Can’t
you raise a sea "sarpent,” or tell us
about our half-brother, the monkey,
according to the theory of advanced
philosophers? Will no one build a
railroad or open a canal to the moon ?
As the old lady said, after living
with her husband for twenty long
years, without a quarrel: “This
thing, old man, is getting ‘monoto
nous’ ” and at once to make up for
lost time, pitohedin and raised Cain.
Tilden and Hayes and Hayes and
Tilden! It is like tho race of old
Peter Kreder’s hound and the fox.
Peter eulogised Sounder superlative
ly when ho told how his dog and the
fox had it "nip and tuck.” It was,
said the old Nimrod: “Sounder and
the fox and the fox and Sounder.and
by tam, Sounder teas often before!'’
Way hero in the wilderness, wo hear
one say, Tilden Is before, and the
next, that Hayes is the lucky one.
White men, figures and telegrams
are like the verdicts of petty juries.
With two Governors and legisla
tures in South Carolina and Louisi
ana and a big fuss about the Presi
dent, our boasted universal suffrage
must afford a rich subject for com
ment and speculation to those who
deny that man can govern himself.
We are swiftly following in the foot
steps of our Southern so-called Re
public-being Mexicanized-but let
us be cheered with the phylosopby
of tho Irishman who said: "The po
tatoes here in Dublin are very small
and had, but, God be thanked, they
are a great deal worse about Donnv
brook.” jf.

A bad example of the fatal nature
of diphtheria has just occurred in Par
is. A whole family, consisting of
father and mother and two children,
were attacked with it and carried off
in a short time. Dr. Regnault, who
attended them, caught the malady
and in spite of the care of one of his
colleagues, Dr. Biset. died also in
twenty-four hours. Dr. Biset was
then attacked in his turn, and he ex
pired.
It is related of the Empress Augusta of
Germany, so simple are her habits, that
she is not unfreqnently seen being driven
out in a calico dress. That’s nothing.
Any of our fashionable ladies appearing
in society in a calico dress would be driv
en oat, too.
A woman in Allegany county, N. Y ,

To the Editor of the Union:
Mr. Editor, look at the situation.
Mr. Tilden'a election by the vote of
last November Isas certain in fact
and as regular in law as \Vahinge
ton’s was in 1789. The denial of his
title to the office is based upon a
fraud so transparent that any child
can see through It. Mr. Chandler
might just as well have employed his
clerks to fabricate a vote for Louisi
ana in the lotorior Department, as
to get it done In New Orleans by Kel
logg, Packard and Wells. It oould
have been managed here as well as
there by similar promises of money
and troops, and the abolition Sena
tors and Representatives who travel
ed so far to aid the crime and com
fort the criminals, might have done
their notorious work at homo.
Everybody understands perfectly
that the State of Louisiana did not
appoint Hayes Electors by tt!e vote
or her people. That the opposing
Tilden ticket was ohosen by a large,
decisive and clear majority of the
qualified citizeus is a fact which no
man of any party has tbe hardihood
to deny. It follows necessarily that
the attempt to overbear the legally
expressed will of tbe nation by count
ing Louisiana for Hayes is a naked
and most palpable fraud.
But, say our opponents, a fraud is
as good as a truth if it be clothed, as
this one is, in tbe forms of law.
There is no such rule in the code of
uuy civilized people. Fraud makes
void whatever Is brought into con
tact with it. Tbe corruption tnat
would vitiate a deed, a judgment, a
pardon, a commission, would nullify
the certificate of an electoral vote.
Indeed, If any kind of corruption is
worse than another, it is the fabrica
tion of election returns, for that saps
the foundation of free institutions.
You may make a tolerable argument
in favor of murder, theft, or perjury,
but you canuot even debate the mor
ality of falsifying the vote of a free
State. A vote or certificate of a vote
known to have been concealed in
willful fraud is no vote at all. It
has precisely the force and effect of a
forgery—no more and no less.
In the face of these plain facts and in
the teeth of these undeniable princi
ples, tbe proposal is made to com Del
the House of Representatives to count
the fraudulent votes sent up from
Louisiana. They are false, to be
sure; they are not votes authorized
by the Slate; they are the mere
spawn of a corrupt conspiracy; they
are no better than a confessed for
gery; but here they are in the forma
of law.” and you must count them all
the same as if they were true and
genuine. The President of the Sen
ate wants them counted ; the Senate
itself would like to have them coun
ted, and they may, therefore, force
them down tho throats of House
“against the stomach of its sense.”
No, sir, the House has a great
duly to perform. It must ascertain
whether a President has been elect
ed. aud it not, it must elect one from
the three highest. To that end it
must count the votes—the votes, mind
you, not tho frauds and forgeries. It
must ascertain what are genuine and
what are spurious papers—and iu
doing this it must be controlled by
its own conscience, and act accord
ing to its own convictions. To op
pose its judgment by military force
will be treason ; to circumvent it by
stratagem wiii be to conspire the
overthrow of the Government.
I wish, Mr. Editor, that vou would
lift up your trumpet and ring out a
blast that may be heard from sea to
sea. Tell the people that their In
stitutions are in the most imminent
danger. Tell our representatives
that they hold the citadel of Ameri
can liberty, and it is a burning shame
even to parley with the foes that be
leaguer it. Woe to them if they be
tray us by a base surrender.
Yours truly,
J. S. Black.
