The communication of “H,” on the
Oonrention quostion, shall havo a
place Id our next issue.
One hundred guns were fired in
Worcester, Mass., over the accession
of Hampton to theßtatc government
of South Carolina, on Wednesday
last. m
A ooubespondknt of tb Washing
ton Nation urges the appointment of
Hon. O. A. Loohrane, of Georgia, as
Judge of the Supreme Court, to suc
ceed Judge Davis. He says that
Judge Lochrane is a ‘‘Southern man
of broad national Republican ideas.”
The Eufaula Times says that a
mighty swarm of grasshoppers, mil
lions in number, passed over its sec
tion on Friday night before last,
going in a northerly direction.
Thousands of them fell in Eufaula,
as they did here.
The length of Col. Blandford’s
speech on the Convention question
interferes with the usual varioty of
our paper. Itut ft will be found worth
its space. Though we do not agree
with the speaker in all his proposi
tions, we recommend a careful
perusal of the speech.
The Montgomery Journal lias re
ports of great and unsual destruc
tion by hail at Lowodesboro’, Ala
on Saturday night before the last.
It is said that hogs, goats, birds, etc.,
were found dead, trees were blown
down, and gardens obliterated. Sev
enteen birds were picked up by one
boy, and a negro found twelve par
triges, lying close to each other, all
dead.
We have carefully scanned the list
of guests of the Southern Hotel, St,
Louis, at the time of the fire, as pub
lished in the Globe-Democrat of Fri
day, and we find the name of only
one Georgian. He was Mr. Jas. J.
Davies, who escaped, and was then
at the Laclede. There was no one
from Alabama, except Mr. T. T. A.
Lyons, of Mobile, who was saved.
A heecial from New Orleans, 12th,
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says:
“Iglesias is in the city getting up an
expedition to invade Mexico. He
has, It is said, $500,000, and will or
ganize a movement. Quite a number
of officers of the late war have em
barked in the enterprise.”
Is that the form which the lately
heralded “Mexican movement” from
this country is to take?
It is stated that the Federal Gov
ernment , having after long litigation
recovered tho Hot Springs property,
of Arkansas, will retain the title to
the Springs and the land immediate
ly contiguous, but will sell the rest
of the large track of land recovered.
By this arragemont, the use of the
water will be free to everybody.
Present owners of property at the
Springs will bo allowed to purchase
their lots and improvements at a
very low ilgure; but if they decline
they will be sold to others by the
Government.
Seven and a Quarter!— lf the Gov
ernment has power to sustain tho
value of its paper money, now is the
time to exert it, for the gamblers in
gold have evidently come to the con
clusion to depreciate it again. The
act requiring resumption on the Ist
of January, 1879, is not going to bring
the greenbacks up to par, and no ad
ditional legislation of that kind will.
We do not know that any use of the
gold now in the Treasury would ar
rest the upward movement of the
coin. But if the Government would
simply receive its own paper in pay
ineut of imposts, this movement of
the speculators would at once be
checked.
Republican politicians are cautious
in taking positions for or against
Hayes’ “Southern policy,’’ the ma
jority waiting, no doubt, to see how it
will work in Louisiana. But some
are declaring themselves. Blaine,
Wade, Forney, Butler, old Simon
Cameron and Wendell Philips are
out in opposition. On the other hand.
Gov. Hartranft and Don Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, are reported to have
visited President Hayes on Thurs
day, and assured him of their cordial
support of his policy. It is the gen
eral belief that Blaine will open a
vigorous attack on the Administra
tion when the Senate meets in extra
session, ia June,
We learn from the Atlanta Consti
tution that Luke Johnson, the ring
leader of the colored rioters of Ogle
thorpe county, swore out warrants
against a number of white men of
Oglethorpe, while he was in Atlanta,
and that Marshal Blacker arrested
under these warrants eight citizens,
viz: Jasper Hopkins, James M.
Norton, Henry Vickers, David Ar
nold, W. O. Tucker, James Harrison
and Wm. Brooks. They were carried
to Atlanta and required to give
bonds in SSOO each. The prosecu
tions will hardly amount to muoh.
The Constitution says: "Reports
reach us of very bad work, secretly
and brutally done, in Oglethorpe
county since the riot, and which acts
are not calculated to allay the fears
of the colored people or to help the
reputation or the county. It is re
ported that a negro named Turner
was shot by unknown parties at night
and has died from his wounds. It is
agreed that the killing was a cold
blooded murder. Two other negroes
are said to have been called from
their houses and shot, and are in
dying conditions. These deeds are
attributed to “parties unknown,”
a term much too indefinite for such
frequent occurrences,”
HON. B H. HILL.
Senator Hill, in a letter to the Au
gusta Chronicle, repeats bis declara
tion that he “can make no recom
mendations for office—especially for
offices to be passed upon by the
Senate,” and gives his reasons for
this course. He bolds that the Con
stitution has devolved the whole
executive power and responsibility
upon the President, and that a mem
ber of Congress has no right to at
tempt to interfere with the President
in the exercise his executive duties.
The Constitution has divided
the powers of the Government,
sod each department should
be free from interference by the
others In its well-defined sphere.
The advisory power of the Senate, in
regard to appointments, he holds, is
properly to advise the President
whether bis nominations are fit and
proper, not to influence him in the
making of his nomination? and then
pass upon them. He also thinks
that a Senator’s advisory power is a
putlic trust, conferred by the whole
people of his State, and when he re
commends any man for office he rep
resents that one, and becomes partial
to that one and ugaiost all others.
Mr. Hill says:
“These views, so plain when once
stated, prevailed with nearly all—if
not all—of our leading statesmen in
our early history. The first depar
ture from them was partisan in its
character, and purposes. The de
parture has progressed until it has
assumed a personal character, and If
I were called to designate the crime
of all crimes in this generation, I
would say it is personalism in govern
ment—by which I mean the use of the
offices of Government to promote
personal interests and umbitions.
Three-fourths of the evils that now
curse the country, and nearly all the
perils that havo threatened the Gov
ernment, havo sprung from this
great crime.”
Mr. Hill says thatthe proper way
is for applicants to forward their ap
plications direct to the appointing
power. Every applicant from Geor
gia has a right to refer to him (Mr.
Hill) or to any other Senator or Rep
resentative, for information touch
ing his fitness, and such information
Mr. Hill will cheerfully give to the
President, if asked, before the nomi
nation, and to the Sonate in passing
on the nomination. “Before the
President and the Senate every man
shall have from me an equal chance
on Ids merits. Disregarding the
abuse and misrepresentations of
those whom I cannot accommodate
with a violation of my Bense of duty
tile least worthy being always the
most exacting and spiteful—l shall
rely only for support on an intelli
gent people who have no Interest but
in good government.”
It will be observed that our market
reports, by telegraph, announce a
material advance in several impor
tant commodities, caused by the im
minence of war in Europe and heavy
orders expected or received.
A canal across France, to connect
tho Mediterranean with the Straits
of Dover, is under eonsideratiod. It
is proposed to oounect the rivers
Rhone, Saone and Seine, using them
as part of the route. The estimated
cost is only $13,000,000.
Texas papers say that the whoat
acreage of that State this year Is 10
per cent less than last seuson. The
crops, however, will be large. The
oat crop will bo 100 per cent larger;
corn, increase, 30 per cent; cotton, in
crease, 30 per cent.
At a large mass meeting of the
people of Morehouse parish, La.,
held at Bastrop on Saturday, resolu
tions were adopted declaring that
they would never submit to the
usurper Packard or recognizo any of
his appointees, but would resist hts
pretended government by force of
arms if necessary.
Griggs, the town marshal of Spar
ta, Ga„ who was lately arrested on
suspicion of participation in the mur
der of Mr. Rozier, was tried aud con
victed on Friday, but recommended
to tho mercy of tho court. We can’t
understand the motive of the recom
mendation. Rozier was killed with
a view to robbing him, and it was
certainly a ease of cold-blooded mur
der, deliberately planned. If Griggs
was guilty, be ought to be hung; and
especially so because his duty as
town marshal was to prevent such
crimes as that or the murder or rob
bery of Kozier. But IT not guilty, or
if there was a reasonable doubt of
his guilt, he ought to have been
acquitted.
Tlie New Comet.
The Hoehestcr Union prints the follow
ing:
Anew comet was discovered in Europe
yesterday morning, but when or by whom
is uuknown to me. It was immediately
cabled to Prof. Henry, who in great kind
ness telegraphed the same to me. Armed
with this intelligence, I- commenced
searching for it at 3:30 o’clock this morn
ing, or as soon as it was above the horison,
and suocecdid in finding it in a few min
utes. It is a beautiful comet, and I think
is going to be brighter. It is just visible
to the naked eye. and will show well in
an opera-glass. Its motion is almost ex
actlytowards or from us, consequently its
apparent motion is slow. During the
hour and a half that I watched it it had
moved a hardly perceptible amount to
ward Alpha Cvgni. Its position at dis
covery was : Bight ascension, 28h. Bm.;
deelination, 15h. 6m.—or in the the Con
stellation Pegasus. It has a short, wide
tail and bears magnifying well. It will
show better to-morro’w morning, as the
uioon will be less bright and rise later.

MR. WALTER, OF THE LONDON TIMES, WAY
LAID AND ROBBED IN ROME.
By cable to the N*w and Courier.)
London, April 13.—A private letter
from Borne savs that Mr. W aiter the pro .
prietor of the London Times, while pass
ing through the Puerto Del Popolo, was
attacked by three men armed with stilet
toes and robbed, but not hurt. The out
rage created a sensation, and one hun

The \\ lilKk)’ Ulna Kaiiipaut.
According to the Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, Die mem
bers of the whisky ring are quite thor
oughly aroused by the action of the Treas
ury Department in refusing thus far to
compromise any of the whisky suits, and
there are indications that they intend to
turn their at ten lion to Assistant Secretary
French, and endeavor to force him out of
die department. Mr. French lias been
the stumbling block for these violators ol
the revenue laws, having had charge of
all the cases relating to compromises.
Notwithstanding the papers came endors
ed favorably by the District Attorney at
Chicago, the Solicitor of the Treasury and
the Attorney General, Mr. French upon a
very careful consideration of all the tacts
and the law, came to the conclusion that
the oilers of a compromise ought not to
be accepted by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and so advised Secretary Sherman
in all the cases yet acted on. "The mem
bers of the ring and their counsel think
that when tlie Attorney General approves
of a proposition to compromise for a mere
nominal sum, the Secretary of the Treas
ury ought not to hold out againßt it. Sec
retary Sherman, however, has sustained
the position taken by Mr. French, and
the members of the ring find their ef
forts to get relieved from civil liability
seriously impeded. They erenow threat
ening that they will have Mr. French re
moved, but their efforts in this direction
are not likely to be crowned with suc
cess, as Mr. French has the entire confi
dence of Mr. Sherman, and has been a
faithful officer.

How to Cook Klee.
Mr. F. B. Tliurber of New York, writ
ing from Japan to the American Grocer
gives the following account of the Japan
ese method of cooking rice; Rice here is
worth from $1.50 to $1.75 per picul of
133 pounds, or about one and one-eight to
one and three-ejgbth cents per pound ; at
first thought it seems as if there might be
a profit to import it into the United Slates,
but our duty of two and a half-cents per
pound, together with freight. Insurance
and premium on gold, brings it up to a
figure where there is no margin. They
knowhow to cook rice here, though, and
for the benefit of grocers and consumers
in the United States, I investigated the
matter. Only just enough cold water is
poured on to prevent the rice from
ing to the bottom of the pot, which has a
close-fitting cover, and, with a moderate
fire, the rice is steamed rather than boiled,
until it is nearly done , then the cover is
taken off, the surplus steam, and moisture
allowed to escape; and the rice turns out
a mass of snow-white kernels, each sepa
rate from tlie others, and as much supoii
or to the soggy mass we usually get in
the United Slates, as a fine mealy potato is
the water-soaked article. I have sccd
something approaching this in our South
ern States, but Ido not think even there
they do it as skillfully as it is done here,
and in the Northern States but very few
persons understand how to cook rice
properly, lam sure that it cooked as it
is here, the consumption of this whole
some and delicious ..cereal would largely
increase iu America,
How Wade Won the Heiress.
From tlis New York Herald.]
Miss Clara Taylor, daughter of the late
William Taylor, a wealthy tinsmith, who
resided at No. 154 Bedford avenue, and an
heiress in her own right of $100,t)0) has
caused a flutter of excitement in fashion
able circles,by leaving her betrothed, Mr.
A. Stewart Ross, a lawyer of this city, her
home and her mother, and marrying a
young man named Walter Wade.
The happy groom, who was Librarian
of a Congressional Sunday School and a
manufacturer of flavoring extracts, made
Miss Taylor’s acquaintance through a side
walk flirlation, and he being of fine pres
ence and gifted with attractive manners,
won the affection of the lady, and persua
ded her to marry him. She accompanied
him to the house of one of his relatives,
the ceremony was performed and they
departed for Philadelphia, hut caused a
notice of the wedding to he advertised in
a Brooklyn paper a day or two ago. On
lliis clew the family lawyer, Mr. T. Jack
son, of No. 45 Broadway, Williamsburg,
visited Philadelphia, and on Friday ob
tained from the newly wedded couple a
stipulation that the principal of her for
tune should remain intact for the benefit
of her children, retaining to themselves
only the interest. Mrs. Taylor has been
so shocked by the elopement of herduugt
er that she has decided to leaveJWilliains
burg, aud for that purpose the elega.it
mansion and all its contents will be sold
at auction on Tuesday next. Mr. Ross is
also suffering deeply at the treatment
he thus received fr,>m the fair, but to
him false young lady.
A Visitor from the Indian Nation.
"Cherokee Charley,” otherwise
Mr. Charls Motts, of Taliquth, Chero
kee Nation, Indian Territory, intro
duced hiraseir yesterday at the Mor
niug News office. He has just return
ed Horn a visit to “Old Tiger Tail,”
the head chief of the Seminoles in
Florida, with whom he had official
business. Mr. Mutts informed us
that as tbe accredited agent of the
Cherokee nation, the object of his
visit to "Old Tiger Tail” was to in
viee him aud the remnant of his tribe
to remove to Indian Territory and
olaim their lands. Mr. Motts has
donned citizen’s clothes, and being
only one-sixteenth Indian blood, his
appearance would not at the first
glance impress auy one with the
thought that he is an Indian. Ho
speaks four different Indiau dialects,
aud talks English very well. He has
an associate delegate, a fall blooded
Greek Indian, who cannot utter a
word of English. They will remaiu
here a day or two, and then proceed
on their journey to their fur off
home.— Savannah News.
A Parrot * amtcltlal PropenalUes.
From the Toronto Globe.)
A fine gray Australian parrot, owned by
Mr. Peek, of the Queen’s Hotel, Guelph,
had almost killed itself by picking a hole
in its crop and eating the seeds which it
had swallowed over again. Dr. Thomas
vcrtcrinary surgeon, was sent for to see if
be could not do something to prevent the
bird destroying itself. He stitched up
the wound with silver wires and cut off a
part of the bird’s beak, and afterwards
placed a collar around his neck to pre
vent the crop being reached or irritated
by tlie parrot in again attempting to open
the wound.
The Southern Element in the House.
Asa majority of the Democratic mem
bers of the next House are from the South,
the New York lYibune thinks they will
doubtless demand much greater consider
ation than they have heretofore had. The
Boston Herald saya: “The Southern
Democrats in the next House are going to
try tc secure control of two important
committees, namely, the Appropriation
Committee and the Committee on the
Pacific railroad, tlie object being to secure
important Southern improvements and
the Texas Pacific subsidy. Atkins of
Tennessee, who is the senior re-elected
member of the Appropriation Committee
of the next House, expects to be Chair
man of the Committee on Appropria
tions. He is a strong advocate of the
Texas Pacific.”

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
frumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&c., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mias
matic poisons.
Tills is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of ChUls
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in malari
ous dietHcts demand. Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of InVgrmittents is, that it contain* no quinine or
mlnefdl, and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using it as before. It has
been extensively employed during tbe last thirty
years In tho treatment of these distressing dis
orders, and so unvarying has been its success
that It has gained the reputation of being infalli
ble. It can, be safely recommended as a sure
remedy and specific for the Fever aud Ague of
the West, and the Chills anti Fever of the
Bouth, which, cuce broken up by it, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
Tbe great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such aa IV’cu
ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic
A fleet lo us, Hysterics, Pain In the Bow
els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become Intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a prex-entive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails,
as it stays the development of tbe disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents arc
thus enabled to defy those disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of tin*
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from
torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable euros where other medicines
fail.

SPECIAL CIRCULAR.
——- ■■ > in,!.
To Tax Receivers of Muscogee Ga.:
THE folllowlng Sections of the Code.to be found
on pages 20 aud 21 of your Pamphlet of In
structions, are so very imjtortant that I give them
in thia special form lor your careful attention.
1 will expect every Tax Becolver to do what the
law and his oaM requires, and aee that every tax
payer returna hit or her property at its true
valus; not what said property would bring at
public out-cry, but what the property is worth.
It has been eMtlmated that the property of
Georgia la not returned at one-half its true value.
This is wrong and should not be allowed. The
honest men pay nearly all the tax and many pay
but little because they return but little of what
they havo. Many men return only about one
fourth or one-fifth of what they own. Make all
return their property at ita true value and
then the burden of TAXATION will fall on all
equally.
FROM THE CODE OF GEORGIA.
ss39. (838.) In case of false return, Tax Receiver
to attest value. Each return shall be scruti
nized care folly by the Tax Receiver, and if in hi a
judgment he ahail find the property embraced in
the return, or any portion of it, returned below
its value, he shall asses* tbs value at once, or
within thirty days thereafter.
1840. (836.) Subsequent proceedings. If such as
sessment is not mads by tue Receiver iuatanter,
he shall give the tax payer notice of his assess
ment, and In either case it shall be the tax pay
er’s privilege to have it left to three disinteres
ted persona, one of whom ho shall select, the
other shall be selected by the Receiver ;aud th> su
two shall select a third; It they disagree, a major
ity of whom shall fix the assessment.
$B4l. (837.) Property returned below its value.
It is the privilege ol any tax payer of the county
where a return is made to complain to the Re
ceiver at any time before the Digest is completed
that any return is below the true value of the
property; in which case he shall notify the person
who made the return complained of. if practica
ble, verbally tr by writing, giving him the name
of complainant &Ld the ground of complaint, and
shall proceed to have anew assessment in the
terms of the preceding section.
§842. (338.) Oath of assrtort. Whenever such
assessors are called in, they ahail take an oath
before the Receiver to do Justice between tbe
parties at variance, touching the true assessment
of the tax return.
8843. (839.) Defaulting tax payer, how relieved.
When a tax payer has been returned as adefau.t
er aud double taxed, either by the Receiver or
Collector, tbe Ordinary is authorized to relieve
tbe defaulter of the penal ty for default at the time
said Ordinary allows the Collector his insolvent
lists: Provided, That said tax payer show's to
such Ordinary by satisfactory evidence, that
eituer provident! al or other good cause he had
not an opportunity to make his return to the Re
ceiver of tax returns, and at the time ol such re
lease promptly pays his proper tax. and one dol
lar to the collector as his fee, the Collector shall
promptly inform the Comptroller General of auch
release, and the amount oi taxes paid.
8844. (84(h) Defaullert, how relieved from double
fax. All defaulters may at any time, and fsr the
same causes, before the Digest is made up and
ready to be sent to the Comptroller, save the
double tax by likewise giving in to the Ordinary,
and paying him one dollar, who shall give a copy
of such returns iuatanter to the Receiver,and be
shall enter itin the several Digests.
8845. (841.) Defaulter’s Oalh. The Ordinary,
in the cases set furth in sections 843 and 844.
shall require the tax payer to swear to the cause
of his delay, and ahail state the same in the cop
ies furnished tbe Cimptroller or Receiver.
Hoping and believing you will do your full
duty in this important matter,
I am yours respectfully,
