The proceedinjis of yesterday in

prevent the conclusion of the count
before Saturday.

Two ootton merchants of Savan
nah, Joseph Ehlen.and H, Kuhne,
had a duel In a street or that city on
Monday, exchanging seven or eight
pistol shots. Mr. Kuhne was quite
seriously, and Mr. Ehlen not so se
verely wounded. They quarreled
about a trivial matter.
The New York Tribune and Times
charge that Senator Oonkling has
been coquetting with the Democrats,
holding secret conferences with Dan
Voorhees, Speaker ltundall and
others. They do not pretend to be
Informed as to what occurred in
these conferences, but they are evi
dently very susploious.
The Hartford Times says that the
country can endure the political
result far better than it can afford
this soilure of the Court—a judicial
tribunal which has stood the highest
in the world. Party failures and
successes pass like the breeze; but
the degradation and the injury which
the court has sustained will be per
manent.
An eminent New York physician,
who has attended manycasos of the
peculiar fever resulting from visiting
the. bentennlal, believes that the
disease was caused by the presence
of fortmites in certaiu articles on
exhibition, which had been brought
from some of the worst plegue spots
on earth, and be has fears that other
types of fevers, hitherto unknown to
us, may follow as a result of the ex
hibition.
Thb Montgomery Journal under
stands that the project ot construct
ing a narrow gauge railroad between
Montgomery and Troy, Ala., is about
to be revived. Anew effort is tp be
made to raise the necessary subscrip
tions. 'The Journal advocates the
road as a means of preventing Co
lumbus securing the trade of Pike,
Coffee, Dale and other Alabama
oouptles, liCt us keep an eye on the
movements of our jealous neighbors.
Gov. Hendricks has said to a news
paper representative that the Electo
ral Commission, having gone accord
ing to the letter of the law, the result
is the election of Hayes and Wheeler.
He does hot belleve tlie Commission
acted according to the spirit of the
law, and says the longer the country
thinks of its action the moth it will
be condemned. The Governor inti
mates That the present defeat will
inure.to the future benefit of the De
mocracy, and h e Is opposed to filibus
tering on the part>f Democrats.
The tone of 4he article which we
copied the oilier day from the Alba
ny Argus made us doubt Mr. Tilden’s
approval of the Electoral Commission
bill. The Ciacinaati Enquirer says
positively on this point: It is due
Mr, Tilden to say that he never per
sonaliy had faith in the Electoral
Commission. He did not encourage
its Creation, as has been alleged.
He Wanted his case to rest with the
House of Representatives in a con
test with the Sonate, but it Was not
becoming in him to electioneer. Mr.
Tilden has been swindled by his best
friends and “ndvteers.”
Mr. Hewitt, who is regarded as one
tif tjie prime movers of the Electoral
Commission scheme, charges that the
Republican members of the Congres
sional Committee which agreed upon
the bill gave It as their opinion and
expectation that the Commission
would go behind the returns. In a
speech in the House, the other day,
Mr. Hewitt declared that Mr. Hoar,
especially, promised that his pereo
naltnfluenoe should bo used, in that
direction. Hoar wriggled under the
charge, and re touted smartly, but did
not deny it, Asa member Of the
Commission, he voted without varia
tion that it had no power to go behind
the returns!
SUING) MKK UWTU.
MJ-s. Ella B. Washington, a great
grfind-ntece ol the first President of
iheDuited States, and the widow of
another near relative of the “Father
of his Country, ’ who lived formerly
ia Virginia, having become impover
ished by the late war, was compelled
to part with many valuable relies of
her illustrious ancestors, the State
of -Sew York becoming the purchaser
of many of these, at a price of *20,-
000. Colonel Walter S. Church was
employed by her ,to collect the money
due from the State, and as she al
leges did collect tbe whole amount,
but has only paid to her *10.606 there
of, leaving still due *0,394, which
with the interest now amounts to
813,000. for which she brings suit.
About tan days ago Justice Dykrnan,
of the Brooklyn Supreme Court,
granted an order of arrest against
Church, and on tbe 20th instant he
was arrested thereon at Albany and
held in *15,000 bail. The return to
the order of arrest, with Mrs. Wash
ington’s uffidavit. were filed in tbe
County Clerk’s offloe, Brooklyn, yes
terday morning.—lV. Y. Worhl, 25.
Life is but short, but we should do
all we cna to prolong it. Check a
cough or oold at once and use an old
reliableremedy, such as Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup.
If we ameliorate the condition of
our country morally, as well as.finan
cially, we should watch our neigh
bor’s interest as well as our own.
THE CONSTITUTIONAI. CONVENTION.
Gov. Colquitt has issued his proc
lamation in accordance with the late
act of the Legislature, ordering an
election to be held in the several
oounties of Georgia, on the second
Tuesday in June next, for delegates
to a Constitutional Convention, At
the same time the people are called
upon to vote on the question of call
ing the Convention, by having print
ed or written on their ballots the
word "Convention” or the words
“No Convention." ,!
The.failure of the Legislature at
Its late session to do anything of con
sequence in the way of retrenchment,
makes it almost imperative that the
people should take the matter in
hand as quickly us possible. There
oever was a Legislature in Georgia
which commenced its session with K
fairer promise of reform in this re
spent. The spirit of retrenchment
seemed to be the ruling feeling; the
Governor urgently recommended it
in his inaugural address; an extraor
dinary committee on Retrenchment
was raised; the Governor was called
upon to state more specifically the
branches of the public service to
which he thought the pruning knife
might be judiciously and economical
ly applied, and this he did in a
special message, indicating unneces
sary expenses which no one seemed
to contend for. And yet, after All
this, the Legislature did little or
nothing to reduce the expenses of
the State government or the rate of
State taxation. The mountain cer
tainly labored, but the mouse that
was produced Is not satisfactory to
the people.
The failure, under such circum
stances, affords very little ground for
hope that the reform and retrench
ment desired can be secured through
Legislative action. It may be that
many members, regarding the call of
a Convention as certain, determined
to devolve the whole responsibility
upon that body. At all events, the
Convention affords another opportu
nity to secure the needed retrench
ment, and we hope that the call will
be sustained. Let no local or speoial
questions influence opposition to it,
but.let the people generally vote for
the Convention, trusting to tbo wis
dom, personal disinterestedness, and
patriotism of its members to dispose
properly of all questions that may
come before it.
To mako sure of this we should
elect only the best and most trust
worthy men as delegates. Happily,
perhaps, the districts are large; and
the little local managers who often
control county meetings will have a
a field too big for such operations.
It Is not a reasonable supposition
that such men can get the support of
a Congressional district embracing
twelve to twenty counties and one
hundred thousand inhabitants. Such
a field and such a constituency will
be apt to require the services of men
who have a reputation outside of
their own oounties, and whose pop
ularity is not restricted to the adroit
management of one meeting or to
combinations in one county. The
opportunity is a very favorable one
for Georgia to assemble in Conven
tion her best and wisest men, and
for them to frame for her an organ io
law that will be a model and a bless
ing—a safeguard of the rights of all
interests and classes and a barrier
against all the dangers that may
threaten the peace or prosperity of
the community.
I.OI'ISIAN A AM) SOUTH IAK
OI.IN A.
Our dispatches speak of a well
defined understanding at Washington
thathelther Grant nor Hayes will
interfere with the Nicholis and
Hampton governments. The Demo
crats regard the agreement to this
effect as binding as a treaty; the Re
publicans call it only an understand
ing, but all parties say that the ne
cessities of Hayes’ administration
will compel it to pursue this course.
We have never doubted that this
would be the result of the contests In
those States, and have several times
so expressed otrselves.
And why do we see the anomally of
the election of Democratic State
governments in these two States, as
well as in Florida, while the Electo
ral votes of all three aro given to the
Republicans ? The reason is obvious.
Gen. Grant pithily expressed it,a few
days ago, in one of his talks about
South Carolina. It was because the
Democrats of those States would not
have or submit to the fraudulent
governments set up by the returning
boards. They would not pay taxes
to them, nor submit to any process
issued by tbeir authority. Had tho
Democrats of the wholo Union as
resolutely insisted on the right of
Tilden and Hendricks to their Elec
roral votes, they would have obtained
them, for no one can deny tbat if
Nicholis carried Louisiana, and Drew
Florida, Tilden also carried those
States. The Democrats will secure
their State governments by unflinch
ingly standing up for their rights;
they lost their Electoral votes by
submitting to compromise or arbi
tration.
Retrenchment and reform are the
watchwords in the Nebraska Legisla
ture. The Omaha Bee thus illustrates
the prevailing spirit: "In one of the
committee rooms six gas-jets wore
burning. Says Mr. Creighton to the
attendant : ‘Bring in a lamp and put
out that gas. The State can’t stand
thik expense.’ The order was obeyed.
Says Van Wyck: ‘Here, bring in a
caudle; this is too expensive;
the State can’t stand it.' Creighton,
who was bound to be ahead in the
matter of reform and economy, ‘saw’
Van Wyck and ‘went him one bet
ter.’ Looking out of the window, he
said? ’Blow out that candle. The
moon is bright enough for us?” Van
Wyck caved.”

GEORGIA ON THE CRISIS.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE LEGIS
LATURE.
The following preamble and reso
lutions were introduced In the
House of Representatives on the Slid
day of February, the birth day of
Washington, and were unanimously
adopted by both houses:
“we, the representatives of the
people of Georgia in General Assem
bly met, deem it a duty which we
owe to ourselves, our Common coun
try and posterity, to utter a voice of
condemnation us well as of warning,
in view of the stute of republic. The
disregard which for years has been
shown for the strict letter of the law
has naturally degenerated Into a dis
regard and defiance of Its spirit and
we now stand confronted with tre
mendous peril to liberty itself. Our
servants have become our masters
and neither the laws nor the constitu
tion caq protect us. Could reason be
left free to combat error and the peo
ple to effect reforms where they are
needed, we should be hopeful of
the future. Rut the facts of our
present political history declare that,
the very safeguards of the ballot
have been taken away from us by
the wicked instrumentalities which
have been devised for the express
purpose of robbing the people of
power and free suffruge, wo are pow
erless to redress our wrongs. The
patriotic of all parties can but feel
how earnest the effort was in our Re
cent Presidential election to redress
the evils which were afflicting the
country by a peaceful and honest use
of the ballot, and the whole world
proves how a wicked oligarchy has
defeated the purpose. If fraud no
longer vitiates the actions of men or
States .then indeed, are we hopeless
of the corrupt and lawless who now
hold power and may hold It forever.
If the highest tribunal in our land
which we have fondly looked to as
the last stronghold of freedom has
declared that frauds on liberty and
law must stand unreversed and. irre
versible. then, indeed, are wea doom
ed people. With the laws trampled
upon, the name of State sovereignty
a byword of reproach, governments,
in the South, at, least, set up and
pulled down at will, and the founda
tion of justioe itself polluted, it does
seem that the overthrow of our com
mon government is immineut. In
the present state of tbo republic the
voice of every patriot is needed;
apathy is a crime, aud silent acqui
escence in the conspiracy against our
liberties is ruin.
‘■Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives in General Assem
bly met, That we hereby declare it to
be the sense of this assembly as well
as the firm belief of the people of
Georgia, that Samuel J. Tilden was
fairly elected President of the United
Slates for the ensuing four years,and
that Thomas A. Hendricks was elect
ed for the same term Vice President,
and if they shall fail of a peceful in
auguration, then will the people of
the United States have been defraud
ed of their choice and a fatal blow
be given to pufflrie honor and to the
stability and integrity of the Govern
ment.
“Resolved, by the authority afore
said, that the General Assembly
views with alarm and most decided
condemnation, and hereby enters its
solemn protest against the interfer
ence of the authorities of the Gener
al Government with the full exercise
of the ballot in the several States,
whether that interference is mani
fested in the control of returning
boards, or in the presence of United
States troops at the polls, or in the
arbitrary elevation of its favorites to
supreme power in place of those
chosen by the people.

At the municipal election in Phila
delphia, on Tuesday, over 127,000
votes were cast, the largest vote ever
cast at a municipal election, and the
majority for Stokely. Republican, for
Mayor, was only 2,775 over Caven,
Independent, although Hayes’ ma
jority at the election in November
was over 15,000. The Times, Inde
pendent Republican, says: “Caven
received 5,000 more honest, legal
votes than Stokley,” and declares
tnat the latter is returned elected by
“unblushing frauds.” The Fress,
Republican, says: “The result
leaves us in possession of the citadel,
bgt it also leaves us in possession of
many admonitions,” and warns the
party that it must mend its ways in
locul affairs. The Public Ledger says
the election resulted iu quite a hand
some gain of a better class of coun
cilmen.
It would be considered too funny
for any humorous writer to say that
a clergyman was in danger of dis
missal from his church because he
gave the time that ought to be spent
in polishing up his sermons to the
work of feediug the hungry, clothing
the naked, and looking after the lost
sheep, so that the rich were neglected
for the sake of the poor. But these
accusations are made, not jocularly,
but gravely, against the Rev. Mr.
Putnuin. of Jersey City Heights, by
the leading members of his church.
Once, when he had been shown the
error of his ways in the matters re
ferredto.be promised amendment;
but he soon fell again into Christian
habits. He hqw acknowledges tbe
truth of the charges brought against
him, and the efforts to turn him out
of his church on account of them
have become more determined than
ever. A Sun reporter, who hunted
Mr. Putnam up, caught him in the
very act of aiding a sick man and
directing him to a hospital which is
under his charge. It is rather an
interesting case iu these times.— Few

Mr. Chather, editor of the Southern
jEgis, the Alabama Probabilities,
publishes the following weather
bulletin for March:
About 5-8 cool, preceded and fol
lowed by high windsand heavy rains.
About 19-23 equinoctial climax
storms, rain, cold, hail and snow.
For this latltute, during the first
period there will be a full display of
heavy clouds and probably heavy
rains, with a good chance for con
tinued high waters. During the
second period for this latitude look
out for very blustery weather, cold,
snow and rain.
From a Catholic exchange we cut
the following item: In a simple vil
lage Catholic Churoh at Riddata, in
Prussia, a most remarkable pulpit
can be seen. Besides its exquisite
beauty and rich gliding it has quite
a historical interest. It is the tri
umphal chariot of King John Sobies
kie, the hero who delivered Vienna
in 1638 from the besieging Turks.
The chariot was found among the
spoils left by the conquered Mussul
mans. Afterwards it was presented
by Field-Marshal von Kelist to the
village Church, after which the nec
essary alterations were made to
change it to a pulpit.
Important Cnnfrrrnre of Noutltrrn
Republicans.
An important conference of Southern
Republicans was held at Washington on
Wednesday night last with a view to the
strengthening of the party in the South
ern States under the anticipated incoming
of the administration of Gov. Hayes.
Some twenty gentlemen were present,
representing the Stales of Virginia, North
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Flori
da. It was agreed that the name of Sen
ator Alcorn of Mississippi, should be
presented fora Cabinet position, and that
in the distribution of officers in the South
it should he recommended to Gov. Hayes
to aeket men in whom the people could
confide aa Identified with them, and as
men of character and honesty.
It was further determined that, as one
essential requirement to the building up
of an administration party in the South
composed iu part of the properly and
intelligence of that section, that the car
pet buggers must be ignored, and that if
any o! them had any such claims as en
titled them to recognilion they could be
provided lor in Washington by Consul
ships aboard. Those who participated in
the conference have been in consultation
with gentlemen who arc understood to be
authorized to represent Governor ilayes,
audit was stated that assurances have
been received that'Governor Hayes was
in full accord with the spirit of the meet
ing.—Baltimore Suit.

Asa World reporter was chatting with
a druggist on Ninth avenue the conver
sation was interrupted by the entrance of
a rather pretty young girl with a very
pale tace, plainly and neatly dressed. She
hesitated at the door a few moments,
then came in with a rush, as if desirous
of entering ere she could change her
mind. Going to the dark end of the
shop she waited for the druggist to move
towards her and then carried on with
him an animated conversation in whis
pers. What she asked he evidently at
first refused to give; then, though she
tried to conceal her face, it could be seen
that she was pleading with him—explain
ing, promising; then, with apparent re
luctance and apparently many injunc
tions, he made up and gave her a little
package of powder, which, after paying
for, she thrust into her bosom. Then she
hurried out still averting her face, which
was curiously red and pale by turns.
“There is a tradegy in that girl’s face,”
said the reporter.
“Quite probably. She wanted arsenic.”
“Which of course—”
“I did not give her. She wants it to
poison rats with, she says. Couldn’t un
derstand she should he relusedit without
a doctor’s order, and wouldn’t give her
name and address. Finally on her prom
ising to he very careful iu using it and
not to let it fall iu the way of any human
beings, I gave her what she believes to be
arsenic. You saw how she hurried away?”
“Yes. Does she live near here?”
“Ol course not. She comes from the
east side. If she lived iu this vicinity she
would go over te some place on Third
avenue. She will go home and take
what I gave her and it will make her
droadfully sick. She will hardly have
swallowed it when she will repent and
want to live, and she will live and not
try suicide again. I see two or three
women of that sort every week and as
many more who come for other drugs
not aimed at their own life. If I didn’t
give them something they would go on
and find some of the idiots abounding in
our business who would be more credu
lous or less conscientious. When a wo
man really wishes to commit suicide she
Jumps into the river. Cutting her throat
or blowing out her brains messes lie
corpse so that she doesn’t like it; besides,
she is afraid of physical pain,and if she
takes poison it is usually in a moment of
passion or despair, and in the majority of
instance no sooner has she swallowed it
than the love of life reasserts itself.
