“Buell’’ informs the New Orleans
Democrat that Gen. Gordon found a
little difficulty in the way of naming
hla Infant daughter Carolina. He
already had a daughter named Car
rie, and the two names would be
too much alike. That was a lucky
afterthought of the General—or of
“Buell."
The municipal election in Mont
gomery, Ala., la to be held on the
first Tuesday In May, and registra
tion will close this week. As we
have already stated, M. L. Moses,
present Mayor, has been nominated
for ire-election by the Democrats.
We have verbal Information that
there will probably be strong “inde
pendent” opposition.
The opinion is expressed by several
authorities on the weather, &c... that
this will be “a good cotton year.”
But we don’t know whether this is a
oheertng prediction or not. The bet
ter the season the more cotton will
be made; and the more made the
lower the price. We would feel surer
of a beneficial result if we knew that
it would be a good year for wheat,
oats, corn, peas and potatoes.
We don’t care much about It when
our editorials are copied without
credit; but when they are copied and
credited to another paper, that might
lead some persons to supposo that we
plagiarised from the paper to which
the oredlt is erroneously given. We
therefore protest against the Knox
ville Tribune crediting to the Mobile
Register an article of ours on the
Louisluna Commission, whioh it
copies and compliments.
Some of the citizens of Mobile,
Ala., are trying to get up a cotton
faotory. Mr. Sweeney, an energetic
young man, Is, as we learn from the
Register, pushing the enterprise. He
guarantees a subscription of SIO,OOO,
if $40,000 more can be raised, and
proposes to establish a factory with
three thousand spindles. We hope
that the undertaking will prove suc
cessful.
Tkv so-called Nicholls Legislature
of Louisiana now contains 23 Sena
tors, of whom three are Republicans.
A quorum of the Senate is 19, and
Nicholls has that number of Senators
holding over and declared elected by
the returning board. The Nicholls
House has 76 members, of whom seven
are Republicans. A quorum of the
House is 61. The Commission, If it
acts impartially, will find that the
Nicholls Legislature is legal and
sufficiently large.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
Mr. M. T. Singleton, who is connect
ed with the State Department of
Geology, has invented a power which
effectually and finally does away
with the use of cogs in machinery,
and whioh, while decreasing friction,
increases the speed and quadruples
the power. It is an entirely new
application of an old principle in
mechanics, and as suoh it is destined
to supersede the use of oumbrous
and complicated cog-wheels.
Tho Lumpkin Independent reports
a failure or the called meeting of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
the Stewart, Webster and Quitman
Senatorial District, to make arrange
ment for nominating candidates for
the Convention. It thinks that an
other call can be made. We hope
that the proposition to make a party
nomination w||Jl be abandoned.
With the population of that District,
it would be an easy matter to excite
in it a majority against the Conven
tion I>y giving n party coloring to the
question. . ,
Ohio Evictions.— Town elections
were held throughout the State of
Ohio on Monday, and the results
show Democratic gains in most of
the towns nod el ties. The Demo
crats carried MoConnellsville, Otta
wa, Crestline, Jackson, Bluegrass,
Portsmouth, Dayton, Springfield,
Columbus, Wooster and Hamilton—
gaining some of them and increasing
their majorities in others. In Col
umbus, the capital, the Democrats
secured a majority In the Council,
for the first time in five years, and
elected their candidate for Mayor by
800 or 1,000 majority. The Republi
cans carried Urbana, Mt. Vernon,
Cleveland, Toledo, McArthur, and
Cincinnati. Their majority in Cin
cinnati (Hayes’ home) is quite small,
and less than last year. In Zanes
ville and Lancaster the election was
so close and tickets so split up that
both parties got in some of their can
didates. The Citizens’ ticket was
eleotedin Cbillicotbe. The Work
ingmen’ajtioket (with the Greenback
platforth) received over three thou
sand votes in Cincinnati, and had it
not been In the field, the Democratic
ticket would have been elected.
A Lehigh oounty (Pa.) coroner’s
jury carries off the prize. The fol
lowing is a verdiot rendered after an
Inquest on a drowned child: "The
cause of the death was in the Lehigh
river, that the child was born alive
and killed by a person unknown to
the jury to conceal her shame and
thrown It In the river.”
••WAIT AND WIN.”
The New York Times—& Republi
can paper opposed to Hayes’ “South
ern policy”—oorrectly perceives that
no notion of the commission can
prevent the uplifting of the hand of
Federal military power from Louisi
ana. The President has admitted
that the military have no right to
determine the question In favor of
either contesting government, and
ought to be withdrawn. His com
mission may attempt to gain advan
tages for the Republican party by
compromise, and may delay the
withdrawal of the troops for a while,
but if the Democrats only stand firm
and make no concessions,
they will win by waiting. The
Times of the Sd inst. says of tho
Commission : “It goes upon a super
fluous errand. Its inquiries and ne
gotiations will be alike wasted. Why
should Mr. Nicholls condescend to
talk of terms or exchange the cer
tainties of his present position for
the chances of the plan proposed?
Hag he not seen that Mr. Hampton,
with no better title than his own, has
contrived, by sheer audacity, to carry
his point without being bound by
any other conditions than those w bioh
he has all along been prepared to
make ? The lesson is not likely to
be lost upon the Democratic claim
ant to the Governorship of Louisiana,
who now knows that he has only to
be obstinate and dictatorial to secure
tho removal of the troops from the
Packard fortress. Popular logic re
cognizes this as the inevitable se
quence of the South Carolina deci
sion, and the people of Louisiana
cannot fail to look at it in the same
light. They have but to wait and
win.”

The Connecticut Legislature has
passed a law which will facilitate the
keeping of separate estates by hus
bands and wives, and, if amended by
a provision for dividing the children
agreeably, will make divorce a very
easy matter for those desiring it.
The new law provides that in ail
marriages hereafter contracted,
neither husband nor wife shall ac
quire any right to or interest In any
property of the other, whether held
before the marrriage or acquired af
ter the marriage, except as provided
in this law. The separate earnings
of the wife shall be hfcr sole proper
ty. She shall have the same right to
make contracts with third persons as
if she were not married, and to con
vey her real and personal estate.
Her property is liable for her debts
and not for his; his is not liable for
her debts, except those contracted
for the support of the family. Pur
chases made by either party shall be
presumed to be on the private ac
count of the party, but both shall be
liable where any article pur
chased by either shall have in
part gone to the support of
the family, or for the joint bene
fit of both, or for the rea
sonable apphrel of the wife, or for
her reasonable support while aban
doned by her husband. It shall,
however, be the duty of tho husband
to support bis family, and his prop
erty, when found, shall be first ap
plied to satisfy any such joint liabil
ity. The wife shall be entitled to in
demnity for any money of her own
used to pay such claims. On the
death of either, the survivor shall be
entitled to the use for life of one
third the estate of tho deceased
which right cannot be defeated by
will. If the deceased leaves no chil
dren or representatives of children,
the survivor is entitled to one-half
instead of one-third. When either
party gives a legacy to the other the
latter may choose between its rights
under the will and thoße under the
statute. Abandonment without a
cause may defeat this provision, and
a marriage contract may supersede
it entirely. Parties already married
may contract to surrender their pres
ent rights for those secured by this
statute, suoh contracts to be recorded
in the Probate Court.

We find in the San Francisco Call,
of the ÜBth ult., a report of the
speech of Gov. Hendricks at a seren
ade given to him on bis arrival in the
city. We make from it the following
extract in reference to national poli
tics :
My fellow citizens, I accept with
great pleasure and gratitude this ex
pression of your regard. I receive it
in part as an expression personal to
myself, but in the main as an ex-
Sression on your part of the confl
enceand support that you give to
the principles and polities of goyern
mentof which, to some extent, I was
made a representative during the
the great contest of our Centennial
year. (Cheers.) The achievement
of those principles by their being
carried into the affairs of Govern
ment has been defeated by a policy
and a course of procedure which his
tory will oondemn. [Cheers.] I do
not choose to-night, in addressing
you, to speak upon this question at
any length. They have placed Mr.
Hayes in the Presidential chair. I
do not think that the judgment of
the American people is tliur. he was
elected [cheers]; but without elec
tion he has been placed in the Pres
idential chair. He is, for the pur
pose of the offioe, the President of
the United States, and you and I will
give to his administration, for the
good of our oountry, that support
which is due to any officer de facto.
But this wrong that you and the
great body of the American people
believe has been perpetrated, must
not pass into precedent, to be follow
ed in the future. It is a crime rather
to be detested—fa voice; "That is
so”)—and the work of the future, in
part, is to oorrect this, and to pre
vent Hs becoming a precedent.
Hereafter the man who Is elected
must be President of the United
States. [Cheers.] And four years
from this time it will be the business
of the people of the United States to
express a judgment upon this ques
tion, not to be misunderstood.
[Cheers.)

Mayor and Council of Rome vs. Dodd.
Case, from Floyd.
Warner, C. J.
This was au action brought by the
plaintiff against the defendant to re
cover damages for injuries received
in falling through a hole in a bridge
a cross a ditch in one of the-defen
dant’s streets, wbioh the plaintiff 1
alleged bad been negligently and
carelessly suffered to remain there,
after fuU knowledge of its dangerous
condition. On the trial of the case,
the jury, under the charge of the
court, found a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for the sum of $1,841.00.
The defendant made a motion for a
new trial, on the grouud that the
verdict was contrary to law, contrary
to the evidence, and because the
court erred in charging the jury that
“if the plaintiff by ordinary care,
could have avoided the consequenoes
to himself, caused by the defendant’s
negligence fif the evidence shows
negligence ou the part of tbe defen
dant,) the plaintlfT will not be en
titled to recover. But if the plaintiff
did use ordinary care, and if while in
the use thereof, by reason of the de
fendant’s negligence, be sustained
injury, tbe defendant will not be re
lieved, although tbe plaintiff may in
some way have contributed to the
injury sustained.” The court over
ruled the motion for anew trial, and
the defendant excepted. Tbe defen
dant was bound to keep its streets,
sidewalks, and bridges in a safe con
dition for travel in the ordinary
modes, by night as well as by day.
and if it failed to do so, it was liable
for injuries sustained in consequence
of such failure.—The City of Atlanta
vs. Perdue, 63d Oa. Rep, GO7. There
was no error in tbe charge of tbe
court as to contributory negligence,
evea if tho evidence hail shown that
the plaintiff, by his own fault, bad
contributed to the injury sustained
by him in falling through tbe hole
in defendant’s bridge, which bad
been there for six weeks—Code, §
2972. Tbe verdict is sustained by tbe
evidence, and therefore is not con
trary to law, nor so excessive in
amount, as to authorize this court to
interfere with it.
Let the judgment of the court be
low be affirmed.
Bad for Black-Hitlers.
Mr. W. 0. Logan writes from Crook
City to a friend in Helena, Montana,
warning bitn against tempting fate
bv venturing into the Black Hills.
He says of the present and immedi
ate future:
“The Indians have been for the last
three weeks driving off stook, mur
dering and committing every kind of
depredation that is possible against
the whites. A man uannot leave the
town one mile alone with any assur
ance of ever returning. All the horses
have boen driven off excepting those
kept up. A few days ago the Indians
stampeded about two hundred head
of beef cattle and drove off the same
number of sheep that were kept about
a mile and a half from town. They
also drove off a couple of hundred
bead of work cattle. We shall prob
ably have to do without meat. They
attacked a train six miles from here
and killed one man and wounded an
other. Two dead men are now lying
here, to be burled to-morrow, both
horrioly mutilated. There are also a
number of men going about on
crutches from wounds inflicted by
Indians.
“Should we havo to abandon the
Hills, we have not teams enough to
haul the women and children and our
bedding and provisions!
“We shall nave a terrible time the
coming summer with the Indians.
Many a train will be captured. Tell
all my friends who may contemplate
coming here to remain where they
are till the Indians are subdued, The
mines here are all claimed, and one
cannot get out to prospect.”
Kellogg said to-night: “This man
in the White House seems to think
those States (meaning Louisiana and
South Carolina) are only made to
elect a President. Why. hell, gentle
men, we’ve got to have Governors,
you bet! and if we don’t, something
interesting might be develofied about
the way we manufacture Presidents.
You hear me ? I’m talking business.
Lay low and keep your head to the
wind.” He thinks he will manage
the investigation from this end of the
line, and not go back to Louisiana
with his carpet-bag.— Special

Death of Hon. Phillip Clayton.
A private letter was received in this
city yesterday which stated that on
Friday last the family of Hon. Phil
lip Clayton, at Greensboro, received
a telegram from Hubert T. Clayton,
announcing the death of his father,
Hon. Phillip Clayton, United Btates
consul at Culao, in Peru. It is strange
that as yet no official announcement
of bis death has been sent out from
Washington, and that the press dis
patches have failed to bring intelli
gence of the fact. Coming aa it does,
however, there can be no doubt of its
truth, though the stricken family as
yet know little beyond the sad fact.
The extreme distance and the diffi
cult means of communication render
prompt and full communication al
most impossible.
Mr. Clayton was appointed to the
consulship at Calao about three
years ago and since that time has re
mained constantly at his post of du
ty.
He has held several high positions
of public trust und honor.
During President Buchanan’s ad
ministration he was Assistant Secre
tary of the United States Treasury
under Hon. Howell Cobb, and after
secession he was placed in a similar
position In the Confederate Treasury
under Hon. George Trenholm.
He was a native of Georgia, and
was widely known throughout the
Slate. The news of his death will be
received with sadness by his many
old friends, and is a crushing blow
to a large and devoted family. He
was a brother of our fellow-towns
man, Judge William Clayton, cashier
of the Merchants Bank of this city.
Robert T. Clayton was with his
father at Ca’ois as Secretary and was
ex officio Vioe Consul, and will there
fore now Assume the duties of the
position until a successor is appoint
ed.— Atlanta Const., ith.
A Wife’, Hero..
Carl Schurz has alwavs been his
wife’s hero, writes Mary Clemmer
from Washington. A little girl in
Humburg, she worshipped tne pic
tured imago of the Revolutionist
whom she had never seeo. After
leaving school she visited London,
and a friend said, “You must come
to my house this evening and see the
wonderful Carl Schurz.” The maiden
came, and in a remote corner wor
shipped from afar the young lion of
the occasion. The friend said to
Carl, “There Is a little Hamburg girl
here who adores you as a far-off hero.
You must know her.” “He was In
troduced,” said the sweet voice;
"and what do you think he said?
When my friend asked, ‘What do you
think of her?’ why all he thought
was, ‘She seems a good, healthy
girl.’ He didn’t admire me at all
not then.” He must have managed
to do so pretty soon after, however,
for they were married within a year,
before he was twenty-one or she
seventeen.
Atrocious Crime.
The Baltimore Sun has the following
“Early last week a gentlemanly looking
person stopped at a leading hotel in Bal
timore, and during his stay advertised for
a governess for his children. His advent
tisment was answered by a gentleman <n
this city who was guardian lor a young
and estimablejlady. The advertiser repre\
sen ted himself 11s a wealthy citizen or
Alexandria, Virginia, with children, for
whom he needed a governess. The guar
dian of the young lady was perfectly sat
isfied with these representations, and
made arrangement? for his ward to accom
pany the advertiser to Alexandria. They
arrived at Washington last Friday even
ing, and the fellow told the unsuspecting
lady that there was no way to get to
Alexandria that night. He took
her to the National Hotel and engaged
two adjoinning looms. During the night
he entered her room, chloroformed her
and brutally outraged her person; when
she recovered her senses the villian threat
ened to kill her if she made any outcry.
On Saturday she having utterly refused
to go with him to Alexandria, he placed
her on the 6:45 P. M. Philadelphiaexpress
train. When the train stopped at Bal
timore he led her from the platform,
jumped on the train as it moved on to
Philadelphia. The lady at once went to
her gardian and told hint her story, where
upon he immediately communicated with
the police department here and at Wash
ington. The police at Philadelphia were
also notified. The officers have a full
description of the scoundrel, and no effort
will be spared to secure his arrest. At the
the hotel in Washington the fellow regis
tered under an assumed name, represent
ing the lady to be his sister, and hailing
Irom Richmond, Virginia. He told the
hotel clerk that his sister was an invalid,
and he wanted a room near hers. The
hotel books show that Friday night he
had numerous “extras” in his room, such
as whiskey, ale, &c. He left without pay
ing his hotel bill.”
Langley Mills. —The annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Langley Manu
facturing Campany was held at Sibley
Hall, at Langley, yesterday morning.
The president, Mr. W. C. Sibley, made
his annual report. The report showed
that the amount to the credit of the profit
and loss account at the date of the last
annual report was $100,68014; at present,
$150,280 54. showing a net profit for the
year of $49 634 40.0n the 16th of January a
4 cent, dividend, amounting t 0516,000 was
paid. There was a very active demand
for the goods manufactured at the mills,
from the 10th of September, far beyond
their ability to supply. This lasted until
February, but during the month of March
the situation has changed, and they are
not now able to sell their goods, which are
consequently beginning to accumulate, as
usual at this season of the year. The pro
duction for 1870 amounted to 6,050,172
yards. For the year 1875 the prodution
5,732,071 yards showing an Increase in
production in favor of 1876 of 816,501
yards. Cotton consumed during the year
2.806,575 pounds, costing $245.638 57;
cost value of goods produced $368,00121.

A Great Kstabllabment.
The establishment of Krupp, the great
gua-maker, extends over seven hundred
acres, and employs twelve thousand work
men. It is tarvereed by a railway five
miles in length, and a tramway of two
miles. Its various parts are connected by
lines of telegraph wires and not less than
thirty stations. The annual sum paid in
wages amounted, some years ago,f|io
four hundred thousand dollars; it is now
probably much greater. Considerable
skill Is revuired in the manipulation. of
the steel so largely used at Essen. When
a good workman is found, it is desirable
to retain him; and so as far as possible, it
is worth his while to remain when once
he has been employed. A pension fund
has been established, to which every one
employed on the works must subscribe a
small fraction of his wages. To the
money thus collected the proprietor adds
a sum equal to half of that subscribed by
the men.
