Adrianople, which Is reported to
be the objective point of the Russian
invasion of Turkey in Europe, is
south of the Rulkans and not far
from Constantinople. To reach it
the Turkish power must be irretriev
ably broken, aud Russia would there
fore be in u position to dictate terms
to a conquered nation. But there
are many difficulties to surmount be
fore the Russian standard can bo
reared solnear tho Dardanelles, aud
the probability is that as soon as it
is demonstrated that Russia can pass
the Balkans, the other interested
powers will bestir themselves with
new energy to bring the war to a
close. The critical point will bo the
success or failure of the Russians at
tlie Balkan defences.
Wb learn from the Fort Valley
Mirror that there was a lack of har
mony as to the acceptance of one of
tho nominees of the Twenty-third
District Convention. The Houston
county delegates wanted Gen. War
ren as the nominee for the district
at large, but the delegates from Tay
lor and Crawford were for Mr. Band
ford. The Houston delegates with
drew and nominated Gen. Warren;
and the convention, consisting of the
TaylorandCrawford delegates, nomi
nated Mr. Sacdford. Gen. Warren
has declined to run, aud Col. Trout
man, one of the regular nominees
for Houston county, also declines,
saying that he did not seek or want
the nomination. Tho Mirror thinks
thatit is too late to hold another dis
trict convention, and presumes that
there will be quite a number of can
didates in the field in Houston.
TIIF. MEETING TO-DAY.
Wo hope that there will be no
squabbling or wire-pulling at the
meeting to be held to-day to deter
tuhiej.be nyodo of nominating can
didates for the Constitutional Con
vention. To prevent this, ns well as
to prevent any personal considera
tions Influencing its action, the dis
interested people should seo that it
Is not controlled by the candidates.
Let them take tho matter Into their
own bands, and thus givo each one
of tho many aspirants a fair and
equal chance. This is the only sure
wuy te promote harmony and secure
cordial co-operation iu support of
the Convention itself. The par
amount consideration with those
who favor tho call of the
Convention should be to do
nothing to-dAy that will give any one
an excuse for opposing It. Let ev
erything be ‘done decently and In
order, and let candidates be given to
understand dletiactly that the peo
ple are not) supportin 'the Conven
tion with a view of conferring on any
of them cilice or honor, but rather
for the promotion of the Interests of
the people and the State. This mat
ter of framing an organic law is the
highest act of sovereignty which
the people of a republic can perform,
and It ought to be rnado as nearly
their own direct act as possible. To
complicate it with the rival claims or
bickerings of candidates for the Con
vention is simply ridiculous. We
hope that no Intelligent citizen will
so compromise his own rights and
responsibilities.
A good deal of zeal in behalf of a
Convention has been manifested by
those who aspire to seats as dele
gates, and by their particular friends.
It the same amount of zeal can be
maintained u,ntil the day of the elec
tion, tho call of the Convention will
prevail. But this may not bo the
case if all but the nominees experi
ence a sudden cooling down of their
ardor, much less if some of them,
fancying that they were not fairly
treated in tho nomination, should
turn round and opposo the Conven
tion. Let no sgoh excuse be afforded
auy one by the action of the mooting
to-day.
MACON A- nneXXH ICK BAILRUAS.
It is mentioned in the papers that
Capt, Grant is about to resign the
position of Superintendent of the
Muuon & Brunswick Railroad. This
is to be regretted, as under his man
agement the road had commenced
paying into tho State treasury a sur
plus above its expenses. It is to the
iaterest of the State to secure like
efficient management by the succes
sor of Capt. Grant, and the selection
of a competent, successor is therefore
an important matter. Wo believe
that the road and tho State would
llnd such a man in Maj It. A. Bacon,
now of the Alabama & Chattanooga
Railroad. He has had much expe
rience in railroading, and has always
proved himself an excellent executive
officer—faithful, efficient and popu
lar. Tho appointment of Maj. Bacon
to the superintendence of the M. &
B. Railroad would please his many
friends here and elsewhere, and we
believe that it would be as good a
selection as oould be made.
Gilt CHOICE OF OEI.KIiATE*.
Editorh Times: Many correspon
dents from Marion county have re
cently favored your columns with
their views and preferences in re
gard to the Constitutional Conven
tion and the gentlemen to be select
ed for its members. Two or three
good and worthy citizens of our
county have been mentioned as
proper persons to represent us.
I will also avail myself of tho cour
tesy extended to your correspondents
to present (without disparagement
of others) the name of an honored
and honorable citizen of Marion,
whom I aud a very large number of
our people believe to be the most
suitable person to represent our
county in the Constitutional Conven
tion. It is a-natne much beloved in
our section, and ono that calls to
mind worthy and noble services done
the State, when the days were dark
and political hyenas ravaged th 6
commonwealth. Hon. B. B. Hinton
is the name of the porson of our
choice.
He has bequ a diligent, earnest and
successful worker for the good of
Georgia, and bis whole political re
cord is a bright one. He is a man of
rare talents und indefatigable energy
aud persoveranco. He has labored
hard for the calling of a Constitu
tional Convention, und is committed
to a oourse that will simplify the ma
chinery of ourgovernment and lessen
taxation. Should Marion nominate
a candidate, T doubt not he will bo
tho nominee.
As to tho delegates from Muscogee,
our people would be glad of an op
portunity to rote for Hon. John Pea
body. Hon. W. A. Little and Mr. J.
P. Manley. We would also be grati
fied to support Hon. James Whittle,
of Chattahoochee. 1 thus “make
mention,” because we will bo called
upon to vote for men nominated by
these counties, and are therefore en
titled to a consideration of our views
aud preferences, and not from a dic
tatorial spirit.
Marion county will in all probabil
ity vote for a Convention.

The Cattle Disease.—There is au
epidemic among the cattle of this
section of Alabama, quite a number
having died iu this county. The
disease is marked by a swelling of
the tongue and soreness of the
throat. The following remedy,
handed us by Dr. A. H. R. Frederick,
of Cusseta. has In every instance
given relief:
Take one teaspoonful of ooperas,
one tabiespoonfui of tluurof sulphur,
dissolve in water,with which mop the
mouth, throat aud nostrils three
times a day. In connection with
this, use the following as a drench :
Ono dozen eggs, well beaten, one
pint of 6weet oil. melted lard or hog’s
foot oil, to be used once a day for
three days .La Payette (Ala.) Clip,

May, 1877. j
Ijiutr Time*: As there have been
various accounts of grasshoppers in
all the Southern States, and as I have
discovered them In abundance In this
section, I will endeaver to give you
my Ideas In regard to their cause. It
has only been a few years since we
have been troubled witli these pests.
Then what can be the cause of so
many in latter years? Let me call
your attention back u few years, when
every farmer would burn off all the
woods within his reach ; when every
winter the (lames would reach every
hole and corner In all tho old broom
sedges and canebrakes, and all the
rough woods where all the insects
had housed themselves from the
cold—where the caterpillar fly rests
through winter, ready to come out in
spring and lay his thousands of eggs
to hatch and devour the cotton, und
where all the old grasshoppers are
protected from cold. Now, by the
moans of burning off tho woods, all
these insects arc destroyed before
they lay their eggs, while unable 4o
make their escape.
But, says one, we will kill the land.
That is a mistake, for In tho firat set
tlement of this couutry tho savages
had kept tho woods burnt for ages,
and history tells us that this was one
oT the most fertile countries iu the
world, when our fathers had largo
forests of wild outs for cattle, sheep.
&o. Where are the wild oats now?
and where are tho large herds of cat
tle? The woods have grown up and
choked out the wild oats and the
cattle have perished for want of
them, and the grasshoppers and all
insects live through the winter to
come out and lay their thousands
ot eggs, and as soon as they can
crawl they go out in your farms, and
you have to feed them until they can
fly; then they go to all parts of the
country, and keep laying their eggs
and eating your crops. So burn off
the woods throughout ail tlre coun
try, and you will soon get shut of all
these pests.
As for the Convention, I have not
much to say; but as Illve in Wig
ginsville District, I am glad to hear
that Colonel O. J. Cottle is going to
represent us. As wo have had the
Colonel to represent us in several in
stances, we know him to be all right.
Hurrah for the Colonel!
Crops are looking well for tho sea
sea, Crab grass is doing its best, but
is not hurting anything yet.
As you nmy hear from me soon, I
will close.
Yours, respectfully,
James M. Bray.
( 111,. 11. E. KKNNON, OF CI.AY.
The announcement of this distin
guished gentleman’s nomination for
the Convention, as an evidence of the
estimation of his fellow-citizens, is
gratifying to .this section, that wit
nessed the commencement of his
career and were impressed with his
genius and promise. Harris county
early appreciated and honored him
with a seat in the councils of the
Btate, where he acquitted himself
creditably and to the entire satisfac
tion of his counstitueney. Col. Ken
non commanded a regiment during
the war, and was admired and be
loved ; for l>is bravery was never at a
discount, and to the humblest soldier
be was never inaccessible nor indif
ferent. llis honorable bearing as a
citizen, his high talents and splendid
virtues, made his mother county
fond and proud of her son, and un
happy to yield him to the inviting
county of his adoption. Genial, with
inoxhaustible resources, he has few
equals socially; with largo benevo
lence, generous to warmth, alive to
others even to unselfishness, where
known, he will be universally be
loved. In every positisn he has ever
been faithful to bis convictious. He
is as “pure as gold and true as steel.”
Few uoed* court his opposition in de
bate, for he is a profound thinker,
logical, ready, fluent, easy and agree
able speaker. Well may we predict
for a man of such magnetism, powers
and worth continued success and in
creasing honors and fume. Wc offer
the county of Olay our congratula
tions. A Friend.
Advice to Newspaper Correspondents.
From the Burlington Hawkoye,]
Never write with pen or ink. It is
altogether too plain, and doesn’t hold
the miud ot the editors and printers
closely enough to their work.
If you are compelled to use ink,
never use that vulgarly known as
the blotting-pad. It you drop a blot
of ink on the paper, lick it off. The
intelligent compositor loves nothing
so dearly as to read through the
smear this will make across twenty
or thirty words. Wo have seeu him
hangover such a piece of copy half
an hour, swearing like a pirate all the
time, he felt that good.
Don’t punctuate. Wo prefer to
punctuate all manuscript sent to us.
And don’t use capitals. Then we can
punctuate aud capitalize to suit our
self, and your artioie, when you see
it in print, will astonish even if it
does not please you.
Don’t try to write too plainly. It
is a sign of plebeian origin and pub
lic school Breeding. Poor writing
is an indication of genius. It. is
about the only indication of genius
that a great many men possess.
Scrawl your articlo with your eyes
shut and make every word as illegi
ble as you oan. We get ttie same
price for it from the ragman as
though it were covered with copper
plate sentences.
Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of
every man, woman and child in the
United States, and the merest hint
at the name is sufficient. For in
stance, if you write a character some
thing like a drunken tigure "8,” and
then draw a wavy line, and then the
letter M and another waving line, we
will know at once that you mean
Samuel Morrison, even though voti
may think you mean “Lemuel Mes
senger.” It is a great mistake that
proper names should be written
plainly.
Always write on both sides of the
paper, and when you have filled both
sides of every page, trail a line up
and down every margin, and back to
the top of the first page, closing your
article by writing the signature just
above the date. How we do love to
get hold of articles written in this
style. And how we like to get hold
of the man wtio sends them. Just
for ten minutes. Alone. In the
woods, with a cannon in our hip
pocket. Revenge is sweet, yum,
yum, yum.
Lay your paper on the ground
when you write; the rougher the
ground the better.
When your article is completed,
crunch your )>ai>er in your pocket.,
and carry it two or three days before
sending it in. This rubs off the
superfluous pencil-marks, and makes
it lighter to handle.
ir you can think of it lose one page
out, of the middle of your article.
We can easily supply what is mis
sing. and we love to do It. We have
nothing else to do.
———
From thn Nw Orleann Democrat.)
rtic I'rrnrnt state of Mexican Polities.
There are three claimants to the
Presidency of Mexico. They are
Dlsz, tho we facto President, Lerdu
and Iglesias, the two latter of whom
have fled the country and are now
striviug to organize expeditious to
regain the position to whioh they set
up a claim, founded on colorable
titles, based on constructions of the
Constitution.
Lerdo succeeded tho lamented Jua
rez. who was a great lose to his coun
try, and succeeded in establishing
something like the permanency or
the civil over tho military and ec
clesiastical power aud factions. As
a chief of bis Cabinet, Lerdo. it was
thought, would continue tho wise
policy and successful administration
of Juarez. We believe that he was,
in a measure, successful in this; but,
alas, he had not the power and in -
fluenoe to control the revolutionary
passions, which in Mexico are so
easily and quickly kindled into
flames by ambitious leaders, and on
some pretext of illegality in the mode
of liis selection, or the prolongation
of the term of his office, Iglesias, the
Chief Justice and constitutional suc
cessor to the vacancy in tho Presi
dency, was prompted to oppose Ler
do’s claims to continuance in his of
fice by Diaz, a military und revolu
tionary chief, of large influence over
the soldiers of the republic.
Diaz has always been a revolution
ist and intriguer. Iglesias knew and
repressed him by assigning to him a
large military command, but as a
check and guard against his revolu
tionury tendencies, appointed a rival
und antagonistic chief to tho com
mand of the adjacent military divis
ion. Thus was Diaz kept quiet, until
the quarrel arose between Iglesias
and Jjcrdo. In this quarrel, Diaz
has always played with the charac
teristic faith of Mexicans tho part of
the importunate horse’s ally in iiis
contest with the stag. He undertook
to ride down Lerdo in the name, and
for the benefit of Iglesias, whom he 1
subjugated to his will after driving!
out the common foe, displacing totn j
and seizing for himself the sceptre!
which he had claimed for his friend
and allv.
Thus Lerdo and Iglesias, civilians,
were driven into exile, end are now
enjoying the hospitality and protec
tion of the United States, whilst
Diaz holds with no strong or sure
hands the reins of power. He is a
mere military usurper, whose tenure
must always be brief and uncertain.
The foreigners in Mexico have no
confidence in ttie permanency of his
rule, and the best portion of the peo
ple of Mexico, especially iu the
Northern States, are unfriendly to
him, and still cling to the polioy of
Juarez, and will follow the lead of
the chiefs who were attached to his
fortunes during the French iuvassion
and the Maxituillian regime. Arnoug
these, is tjiut able and brave chief
who, a few weeks ago, visited our
city on his way to the liio Grande,
where lie now remains in vigilant ob
servation of tite events transpiring
on ttie other side of that river, and
eager to place himself at the head of
the movement, which will soon bring
the whole of the Northern States of
Mexico against Diuz, who will be for
tunate if lie escapes the fate of Maxi
millian. Escobedo is a stalwart rep
resentative of ttie best qualities of
the Spanish-Mexican race. To him
Lerdo looks for the inauguration of
the counter-revolution against Diaz
This counter-revolution conducted by
chiefs of liberal aud sound Republi
can views, who are favorable to
American ideas and colonization,
will have the sympathy and, if need
ed or desired, the substantial aid of
Americans. If Lerdo aud Escobedo
are wise and strong enough to con
quer the narrow prejudices or their
countrymen, and invite the co-opera
tion of our people, their country will
be rescued from the chronic evils
which have so long afflicted aud
weakened it, aud the Republic of
Mexico be reconstituted under Amer
ican protection and alliance on a
basis, which will ensure it a brilliant
and great career In the future.
What was done for England,
through foreign aid, by the expulsion
of the Ktuarts and the establishment
of the Hanoverian dynasty, may be
effected for poor Mexico, through the
co-operation of American people with
the patriotic and honest chieftains
who imbibed their patriotism and
their political ideas from that ablest
and most successful of all Mexican
chiefs and statesmen, Benito Juarez.
Another case of boy’s inhumanity to
boys comes trom Williamsburg, N. Y.
Edward Joseph Gombers was a delicate
boy of thirteen, lie carried an umbrella
for fear of rain, and his schoolmates
seem to have made sport of him for ta
king such good care of himself. Two of
them returning from school with him
one evening thought they would teach
Gombers a lesson of healthful exposure.
They took his umbrella away from him,
and held him undar a waterspout until he
was drenched to the skin, directing a
stream of water down the boys back in
tlie most cruel way. Little Gombers was
powerless in their bauds, and had to sub
mit to the cold bath. But in two daye he
was seized with fever, became delirious—
continually begged his tormentors not to
let the water run ou his shoulders, as he
did not feel well—and the other day he
died. Those other two hoys murdered
their school mate, however they may treat
the ducking as a joke.
A Vigorous Appetite for a Con
demned Man.— John E. Singleton was
recently hung at Beevilie, Texas, for
tho murder of John Dyer. The fol
lowing is a copy of the bill of fare for
dinner, made out out by ilia own hand
ou tlie morning of the execution. The
sheriff supplied every article : “One
baked chicken, one dish ham and
eggs, one apple pie, one peach pie,
one egg custard, one fruit pudding,
oue large pound cake, aud two bot
tles of wine. The above is a list of
what I wish prepared for mv dinner
on the 27tit day of April, A. D. 1877.”
