Tab Executive Committee of the
State Orange have called
the next meeting of the Grange at
Macon on the 11th of Dec rnber
next. M * ** y
The registration of the city of
Montgomery. Ala., closed on Satur
day. The following Is the results
Whites 1079, colored 713-total 1792.
The whites have a majority in five of
the six wards, but in ono of them the
division Is close.
Tub Danville News insists (notwith
standing a late statement to the con
trary) that President Hayes has de
termined to nppoint Ex-Gov. Cham
berlain Minister to Sweden. It says
that it has the most reliable infor
mation to this effect.
Mn. A. H. Gbace. a worthy and well
known citizen of Pulaski county, was
killed on Thursday last by the acci
dental discharge of his guu. He was
riding In a buggy, holding the gun iu
his hand, when a jolt of the buggy
caused the hammer to strike with
such force as to discharge the gun,
the load entering Mr. Grace’s side.
Parties who loft the city of Mexico
on the night of the 25th of March as
sure the New Orleans Democrat that
the statement that Portlrio Diaz is
losing ground is ao egregious mis
take. They say positively that Lcr
do de Tejada, the ex-Presidont, was
not spoken of with any favor, but, ou
the contrary, the people hailed the
advent of Porflrlo Diaz as their sal
vation from robbery and corruption.
A cokresPOßnent of the New York
World, noticing its statements about
the immense amounts of “artificial
butter” manufactured at the North
(and sold in the South as genuine
Goshen), says that “cinchonine, one
of the Inferior alkaloids, differs from
quinine only iu containing one
equivalent less of oxygen~ft differ
ence which chemistry may reasona
bly be expected to do away; indeed,
all the cinchoua alkaloids arc the
oretically converted into quinine.”
The New England Methodist Con
feence adopted a substitute for the
ferocious resolutions which wo pub
lifhed the other day, though a party
supported the original resolutions.
The substitute Is comparatively a
very mild affair. It neither threat
ens to hang Hampton nor to tar and
feather Matthews and Foster; but
boasts of the consistent opposition
of the conference to slavery, and
pledges its support to Hayes In up
holding the rights of all classes
meaning the colored.
The Newt i notices the arrival in
Savannah, on Friday, of the gentle
men composing the commission ap
pointed by Congress to report rules
and regulations for the transmission
of the mails by railroad, and proper
compensation for the same; also to
report upon tho transmission of the
mails by steamboat and stage coach.
The New* understands that the com
mission is disposed to report favora
bly upon the inauguration of a fast
mail schedule between New York
and Washington and the South.
Cam'. W. L. Biuoa lias effected an
adjustment with the holders of
übout three-fourths of the bonds of
the city of Montgomery, Alabama,
on the basis of a refunding of 7& per
cent, of the amount In 30 year bonds,
bearing three per cent, interest for
the first five years, four per cent, for
the next five, and five per cent, for the
remaining twenty years. The re
maining 25 per cent, of the indebted
ness is to be paid in capital stock of
the railroads in aid of which the
bonds were issued, at par.
Home of the inveterate haters of
Hon. B. H. Hill have been censuring
him for opposing the appointment of
Col. Alston as IT. 8. Marshal for
Georgia. Thoy at first said that he
favored Blodgett, and when this was
denied, they accused him of favoring
Smyths. The Augusta Chronicle un
derstands that Mr. Hill has not re
oomtnended anybody for the post
tion -not even his own son-in-law,
who was an applicant—and that he
filed objections to the continuance
of Marshal Smythe. The Met ap
pears to bo that there were some half
a dozen applicants, and Mr. Hill,
while not actively favoring either of
the Democrats, has objected to both
the Radicals. If he prefers another
to Col. Alston, that is surely his
right, of which the friends of Alston
cannot reasonably object.
Fkiedlander, the great grain
broker of San Francisco, who has
come to grief, deserves very little
sympathy in his misfortune. He was
beaten on a “corner.” He tried to
monopolize the ocean transportation
for grain, with a view of thereby reg
ulating the price of wheat, &c.
Early in the season he secured by
charter almost all the available ton
nage for conveying wheat to Europe,
and, thus master of the situation, he
made his own terms to holders of the
produce. The success in gaiuiQg
good rates for freights attracted un
employed vessels from other ports to
San Francisco, the natural conse
quence of wliich was a reduction in
tariffs, with plenty of facilities, aud
Friedlander weut under.

The Philadelphia Times (an Inde
pendent paper, edited by a Liberal
Republican) thinks that with the set
tlement of the “Southern question”
the lines of all political parties will
be broken. It says: “It is quite
uvident that if the action of Presi
dent Hnyee In regard to Houtli Caro
lina succeeds, there must bo an end
to the Democratic party of the
South.”
We ure firmly of the opinion that,
the lines of the Democratic party df
the South will not be broken sooner
than those of the same party iu any
other section ; also that the death of
tho Republican party of the country
must precede that of tho Democratic
party. Tho action of President Hayes,
widen tho Times thinks must put an
end to tho Democratic party of the
South, is really nn acknowedgment
and adoption (as far as it goes) of the
I very principle for which the Demo
cratic party of tho South have been
most earnestly contending—tlio right
of local self-government. It Is a
curious proposition that a party
must din because its principles tri
umph. The Times must meun that
the Administration Republicans will
crowd tho Democrats off their own
platform, and thus tho Democratic
party will be broken up. Wo are
rather of the opinion that President
Hayes, when ha plants his foot on
the Democratic platform, will need
the support of the Democratic party
to enable him to maintain
his footing. Already wo see evi
dences of a gathering storm raised
by tho Radicals of the North. Not
only Is the clamor raised by ambi
tious sore-beads like Blaine, and in
corrigible and persistent scolds like
Wendell Phillips, but others of the
party are intriguing In a more quiet
way to organize opposition to the Ad
ministration on Us “Southern poli
cy.’' It Becrus that they have pre
vailed on Chamberlain to recant his
acquiescence in tho President’s
course towards South Carolina and
to aid them in their opposition,
They are encouraging Packard to
hold out in Louisiana, and if they
can, by complicity with him, get up
some “conflicts of races” in that
State, they hope again to “lire t lie
Northern heart” and make tiie pres
sure too great for Hayes to with
stand. The real fight now Imminent
is between two wings of the Republi
can party, and until they shall have
settled that little difficulty among
themselves, we apprehend that there
is but little danger of their putting
“an end” to the Democratic party.
But the Democratic party must be
true to its principles, whoever
espouses them. Wo may maintain
our detestation of the means by
which Ilayes was placed in the Pres
inential chair, and those of ns who
have a taste for that kind of litera
ture may daily roll the term “His
Fraudulency” as a sweet morsel un
der our tongues. But tho interest,
honor, consistency and manhood of
the Southern people require that
they should stand firmly by the prin
ciple that the States must choose
their own governments and regulate
their own domestic affairs. We must
support ail practical measures re-es
tablishing that right, though they
be enforced by a President not of our
choice, or even of our willing recog
nition. It is not tho part of States
manship, at this critical juncture,
to withhold from the President us
suraDces that in the anticipated fight
between him and the extremists of
his party, the Democrats of the
South will hold up his hands. Recog
nizing the necessity of doing this, we
are not disposed to quarrel with
Southern men who, without sacrific
ing principle, but rather for the pro
motion of principle, are giving Pres
ident Ilayes assurances that ho will
receive their support in a contest
with such men as Blaine and Phillips,
when that contest involves the con
stitutional status of the States and peo
pie of the South as members of the
Federal Union.
THE UARPKT-H.AU FACTION.
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times gives more defi-
Dito information concerning the de
sigs of the carpet-bag Congressmen
who are combining to oppose Hayes’
Southern policy. He says that their
association embraces thirteen mem
bers of the House, with Mr. Thorn
burgh, of Tennessee, as their head.
The association consists of Thorn
burgh, of Tennessee; Darrali, Smith,
Leonard and Nash, four Republican
members from Louisiana; Jor
gensen, of Virginia: Brogden,
of North Carolina; Rainey, Cain and
Smalls, of South Carolina; Bis
bee, of Florida, with two republicans
from Missouri. “These men have
resolved not to go Into any party
caucus in the organization of the
next house unless they can dictate
their own terms. They say they are
left out in the cold by Hayes’ new
policy, and they propose to see how
he will get along with his scheme of
organizing tho next house without
their aid, They will occupy the dis
tinguished position of Judge Bradley
upon the electoral commission in
having the deciding vote. Some of
the members of this association
think if they stand united they may
be able to make Thornburgh speaker.
The carpet-bagger members of the
senate are also contemplating a
similar union, so as to hold the
balance of power upon their side of
Congress.”
A Statem.vn’s Posterity in Adver
sity.—A great-granddaughter of Guy.
Caswell, the first Governor of North Car
olina, has just left the Slate Orphan Asy
lum and taken charge of a school. The
Raleigh News says: Since the foundation
of this noble institution at Oxford, no less
than three of the desceudents of Gov. Cas
well—a grand daughter and two great
grand daughters—liave been fostered and
educated within its walls. Though the
pages of history embalm the memory of ,
Caswell as an incorruptible patriot, wise
statesman and intrepid soldier, yet his
grave, near Kingston, is unmarked by a
single stone or tablet, and his posterity is
lett to find shelter in the public charity.

| WHAT THE GEORGIA LAND, IMMIGRATION
ft NAVIGATION COME ANY RHoKOHE
GREATER INDUCEMENTS
TO IMMIGRANTS
TUAN EVER
mtroßK.
Many peoplo of Georgia do not
know Of tho existence of tho Geor
gia Land, Immigration & Navigation
| Company, and many who are aware
of tills fact do not know what are the
objects |>rooofo<t by this corporation,
or the menus to be used for their ac
complishment.
The association was chartered by
the last legislature, being warmly
supported in tliat body by some of
the most active and progressive of its
members.
Io the act incorporating the com
pany, its intentions and designs ure
fully and explicitly set forth.
It is stated that, tho object of the
association is
TO INDUCE IMMIGRATION.
This will be accomplished by diffus
ing widespread information iu Eu
rope as to the natural advantages our
Btato affords. To enable emigrants
to reach our shores there ure projects
parallel and auxiliary to tho great
direct trade movement which is now
creating so much comment and
meeting with so much favor in tho
State. If the great inducements
which Georgia offers to intelligent
emigrants are once made Known in
the crowded countries of Eimqie, and
every access to our State Is afforded,
there will surely begin a tide of emi
gration that, will flow steadily until
all the wild lands find thinly popula
ted districts put on anew appearance
beneath tho transforming power of
industry.
PROVIDING HOMES.
After the emigrant had been in
duced to come to Georgia, the asso
ciation proposes to provide him with
a comfortable home in portions of the
State where eircumstancos would be
most favorable to him. That there
will be no difficulty in obtaining the
land lias already been demonstrated.
Large tracts have l e -n offered grata
itoiisly tothecompuny by parties resi
dent in different portions of tho State,
who see how much to their advan
tage it would be to be surrounded by
an intelligent and active yeomanry,
who would develop (die hidden wealth
of the land and enhance the value of
the property in the region where they
lived.
The coin puny Ims refused to accept
this land gratuitously, but will take it
in exchange for stock, ins value to be
assessed bv the company. The max
imum capital stock is to consist of
1000 shares, valued at SIOO each. Al
ready over $200(000 have been sub
scribed to the capital stock, and the
amount is constantly on the increase.
THE RAND
owned by tlio company will be sold to
emigrants at its market value, but
upon u must favorable scheme which
allows it to be paid for in ten years by
tiie purchaser. However, the emi
grant has otic advantage ill purchas
ing from tlio company. Ho is sure of
a perfect title. No lurid to which the
titles ure not perfect will be pur
chased or held by the company, and
When it passes title to the emigrant
hois beyond the possibility of loss
of tho laud. Very frequently emi
grants purchase lands of which they
are dispossessed or bn account of
which they ure involved in long and
expensive litigation. This is a dan
ger wtdeh not unfrequently befalls
the unsuspecting foreigner.
If the land purchased by the asso
ciation' is sold for a higher price than
that which was paid for it, the sur
plus is added to the capital stock for
the benefit of every stockholder.
There arc thousands upon thou
sands of wild lands iri Georgia capa
ble of magnificent culture if they
once fall in the hands of hardy and
energetic tenants. The negroes,
when not lazy and worthless have
not the intelligence or the energy to
make valuable and progressive citi
zens, and a development of the wilder
ness of Georgia need not be expected
from them. Those who have most
carefully studied the question have
oemm to the conclusion that the best
hope of future internal improvement
in Georgia depends upon tho immi
gration into our borders of an intel
ligent and capable white labor.
The people of the whale state seem
to have adopted this opinion aud are
heartily co-operating with the asso
ciation in its efforts.
FREE TRANSPORTATION.
The Atlanta and West Point, the
Central, the Atlantic and Gulf, the
Brunswick and Albany railroads
have agreed tp funish free transpor
tation to all emigrants brought, into
the state by the association. Tuis
liberality will doubtless bo imitated
by alt the other roads in the state.
"With all these advantages', and with
such capable men at the head of tiie
company, its success is exceedingly
probable. Should the direct trade
movemcat, as it is now planned, suc
ceed, emigrants can reach Georgia
from Europe at a eost, of not m-,re
than sls apiece. They will, upon ar
riving here, be provided wit it good
and permanent uotnes by the Laud,
Immigration St Navigation Compa
ny, and become tft oncC Identified
with tfae people and the State, and
will almost necessarily be converted
into good, active citizens. The meet
ing of the Association held in this
city l fist Thursday, developed a most
encouraging progress in its work. Its
friends are hopeful that it, will soon
present some tangible evidenced! the
great good it proposes to do for
Georgia .—Atlanta Const.
THE IIA 1,1. tIIITEIIV.
One Theory of his Fright.
New York, April 6.— Louis .1. Jen
nings sends Irom London the following
dispatch t lie World:
In reply to your further questions con
cerning lay conversation with A. Oakey
Hall, il may not bo improper for me to
say his flight, was plainly caused by the
ever recurring spectre of his alleged com
plieily in the ring frauds. The perpetual
revival of these charges made lile intoler
able to him, till he came to think death
tetter than to be constantly haunted. lie
said to me that he wished to be consider
ed dead by his friends and to be forgot
ten. He seems very greatly depressed
and to have no care for the future. As io
the woman who is said in New York, as
you inform me, to bo his companion here,
I have seeu nothing of any person, aud
from my conversation with him believe
no such person had any part iu his flight.
Ido not think any other person, man or
woman, besides himself, was cognizant of
bis purpose in leaving New Yolk, or is
j any way connected with his being here.
! As I said yesterday I consider him to be
simply an ulterly broken man.
ANOTHER THEORY.
The World supplements this dispatch
by saying:
There is a theory connected with Hall’s
disappearance which, on close examina
tion of file facts, seems to cover all the
circumstances of this otherwise incompre
hensible affair. It appears that Hull had
insurance of some $60,000 on his life.
To his friend Douglas Taylor lie said on
ly a few w eeks before his flight: “My fam
ily would be better off if 1 Were dead,"
and there is much to prove be meant to
convey the belief that he met It is death
that Friday night after he left his office.
An Imulrm ol Speculation.
Wo append an extract from a con
versation iu which Mr. 81 Keek, of
Cincinnati, relates to a reporter a late
Chicago experience. “SI” generously
risked his Chicago friend, making, us
it happened, $12,000 by tho veuture.
It is amusing to notice the coolness
with which he turned tiie suspicion
ot the country upon his brother mer
chants in order to iulluence tho mar
ket, aud admirable to see tiie result
in making himself the first victim of
his strategy—“the engineer hoisted
by his own petard.” Josiah re
marked :
Thin was the niuh that I met at the
depot at Chicago that morning three
weeks ago. NV<* went up to his office,
aud figured at wtiat I Imd, uud found
that if tie sold for tne on that market
I would still owe him $31,000. I told
him to go out and sell. He went and
sold. When he came back, I said to
him: “I owe you $31,000. Hell short
for mo. I’ll go back to Cincinnati,
and I’ll make you good.” I used to
know Jim Kingan as well as I know
Briggs Cunuingham. Jim Kingan
never made k desperate an attempt
as that, and tie was as wild and des
perate sometimes as any of them. I
came Back immediately. Tho follow
ing Monday was an important day for
me, as tho election of stockyards offi
cers was to be held. Early in day I
drove over to the yards. I hadu’t
slept any for two nights, aDd I was
feeling pretty desperate. But tho
first click of the telegraph at the
yards told me of the decline in Chi
cago and the ruin there. It was ugly
work all around, but it was going my
way just then. I was short aud she
was dropping. I telegraphed to my
man to get it for me, and in the
midst of it all telegraphed to look
out for failures here. I had my owu
cade in my mind when I did it. That
news went all over the country like a
flash. I drove In to tho Chamber of
Commerce. Charley Kahn met me,
and said everything was going to
hell. I looked at the blackboard,
and she was down half a cent. Then
I went back to the stock yards uud
read my reports, and was re-elected.
Wtien it was all over, I telegraphed
to Chicago to know how 1 stood.
The answer came back that my ac
count there was square-s3l,<h of
debt wiped out there. My friend in
Chicago had done tiie business lot
me. But if she’d gone wrong, where
would I have been? and where would
nty fioor friend in Chicago have been?
That was all very wt*il. But soon
from all parts of tho country canto
the question, “Who’s shaky inCiucin
nuti?” My telegram had helped to
do my work ; but now came the reac
tion. Who was Weak was the ques
tion, and naturally, wheu they came
to skin over their paper at the banks
they put their Huger down on the
man tliat bad the most paper there
and was known to bo the boldest
operator. At the Third National
Bank Mr. Scarborough suid, “Make
him give security.”
Another report says:
Then, to help him along. I tele
graphed, “Look out for failures in
Cincinnati.” The market in Chicago
became demoralized, and iu a short
time I received news from Chicago
that I had recovered the $31,000.
Then I telegraphed to buy “long,”
atid then the same revived, and In a
day I telegraphed, “No fear of fail
ures here now.” But the news had
got all over the United States, and a
dispatch came from Baltimore, ask
ing who was likely to fail in Cincin
nati. Then'the bank men began to
overhaul their pork papers and to
smell around. Of course they
thought that the man who had the
most papers out and who was the
most, daring operator was the most
likely to fail, and I was that man.
Then they began to squeeze me, aud
they did press me bad.

Special dispatch to the World.]
Wasaington, April ft.—J. Randolph
Tucker, member-elect from Virginia,
is at present in Washington, aud to
day, in conversation, presented some
interesting views on the political sit
uation. In brief, he declares that
the Democrats in his State do not
give any thanks to Hayes for his
Southern policy, for he is doing, Mr,
Tucker says, just what the Demo
cratic party has forced him to do.
“He is carrying out our policy.
Why,” said tie, “does any one sup
pose that the people would rest
quietly aud submit to any other
course of executive action from a
man who has a majority of nearly
half a million votes against him.”
Ho insists that Hayes’ Southern poli
cy, ns it Is culled, is the Democratic
platform made last November and
the result of the utterances of the
party iu aud out of Congress for
the last ten years, aud the country
might rest assured t hat the Demo
cratic party bad no idea of allowing
Hayes or anyof his followers to cutry
off the credit of peaceful solution of
tiie Southern situation. Mr. Tucker
declared that Virginia was more con
fident to-day in its faith of the glo
rious destiuy of tiie Democratic par
ty than ever, aud it was laughable,
he Batd, to read tiie reports sent out
by the Republicans from here that
the Democratic party is beiug disin
tegrated. Referring to llie extra
session of Congress, Mr. Tucker pre
dicted that It would be organized in
a day by the Democrats. He thought
that the Virginia delegation would
probably support Randall for Speak
er, and preuieied that, all the com
mittees would be appointed and the
House proceed in earnest with gen
eral business. With peace in the
South, Mr. Tucker anticipates great
prosperity in the next year, when he
believes tho cotton crop alone will
exceed that of 1860, and that the rice
and tobacco crops will be larger than
ever.
What Mr. Thurman Thinks of the
Quo Warranto.— Senator Ttmrmnn,
in a debate in the Senate, February
25, 1877, showed very aptly what
would be the fate of a quo warranto
bill, should Mr. Tiiden attempt to
dispute President Hayes’ title. He
said ;
“Suppose a contest of the office of
President. Suppose that, one man is
declared, in pursuance of the consti
tution, to be President of the United
States; of course tlteu he is inaugu
rated ; and then a contest is begun
by quo warranto iu the Circuit Court
of the United States; that Circuit
Court enters a decree ousting the
President from his office; an appeal
is taken to the Supreme Court, anil
the Supreme Court affirms the decis
ion. How are you going to enforce
it? It is made the duty of the Pres
ident to see that the laws are faith
fully executed. How are you going
to euforee that? TheSupremeCourt
has no power to do it. It commands no
army—lt has no treasury. How can
you enforce a judgment of ouster
against the man who is de facto Pres
ident of the United States and has
the army at his back ? Was it ever
intended by our fat hers that any such
state of case as that should arise ? It
seems to me certainly not. It seems
to me these considerations abund
antly show that the idea of contest
ing the office of Chief Magistrate of
the United States, in any court what
soever, is not to bo entertained for a
moment.”
“Trump Karels” is the title of Josh Bil
lings' forthcoming work. In his preface,
