A merchant of Hawkinsvillo says
that he has rocifired an order tor llfty
thousand 'pounds of wool. The far
mers of southern Georgia would llnd
it greatly to their advantage to ruise
more wool and leas cotton. The
ruling price for wool in Hawkinsville
is now 22 cents.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch reports
day labor abundant in Pulaski coun
ty. It says that sorno planters can
employ all the cotton choppers they
want forsl for five days and their
rations, but that very few negroes
will contract to work on .Saturdays.
Other planters iiuve to pay 30 to 40
cento per day, and rations.

A sew white whalo was received in
New York on Wednesday. It came
by overland trip from Quebec. The
great box containing it was takon to
the Aquarium, where it was hoisted
on a derriok until it was directly
above the huge glass tank, and then
let down in the water. A side was
knocked off, and with a flirt of his tail
that sent the water flying, the whale
was off and circling around his new
home.

As old farmer informs one of our
exchanges that crossing cotton with
corn will materially Injure the crop
of the former, as ho has ascertained
from experience. He therefore
warns farmers against resorting to it.
The statement which lie makes ought
rather to induce them to put in the
corn. If by this means the cotton
crop should be cut off ono-fourth,
and the corn crop increased one
fourth, so much the better for the
planters, as all the conditions point
to high prices for grain and low
prices for cotton next winter.

Several cases of the burning of
negro churches iu the South, attribu
ted to difficulties between two par
ties of the members, or between
some of the members and the pastor,
have been reported since the war.
But we never heard of Southern
whites resortiug to such a proceed
ing. Such a case, however, occur
red at Nort.hville, Suffolk county, N.
Y. on Monday night last, The Con
gregational church of that town,
whose membership are exceptiona
bly rich and “refined,” and which
was one of the finest church edifices
on Long Island, was the building
burnt. The congregation did not
like the clergyman, and tried iu va
rious ways to get rid of him—one by
locking him out. lint they could
not force his resignation, and on
Monday night the church was burnt,
evidently by Incendiaries, as the
building was tired In several places
and holes bored iu the floor to pro
duce a draught. Each side in the
parson controversy charges the
crime upon the other, auil the whole
village is iu a ferment.
City llunili.—An li<i|>ar(aiu lltrUlun.
The United States Supreme Court
has recently decided an important
ease relativo to city bonds. The
circuit court had previously deetded a
great numberoi Missouri townships,
county and city bonds void for want
of compliance with certain constitu
tional requirements with reference
to registration, and for the further
reason, in many cases, that the sub
scriptions were authorized by a ma
jority vote, of those voting; whereas,
the law in such cases is that a ma
jority of all the legal voters to bo
affected is required. This view is
infereutiuliy sustained in the Su
preme Court in the decision referred
to, the case being the Town of East
Lincoln vs. Charles Davenport, on
appeal from the Southern district of
Illinois. It involved a suscription of
s6o,otxt bonds to some corporation,
the name of which is not given, and
is not material. The bonds sued on
were in the hands of third parties.
The defence was that there was mis
conduct on the part of the town com
missioner who signed the bonds at
midnight and absconded to avoid an
iDjunotlon. The court held that the
town must bear the misconduct of
ugent rather than third parties and
that the bonds were legal, as “a ma
jority of the whole attended and
voted in favor of the subscription.”
Thus the same principle which was
invoked against the Missouri bonds,
here operated in favor of bondhold
ers, and seems now to be the accept
ed and cstabiised doctrine of the
United States Supreme Court.—Note
Orleans Times.

Dr. J. Marion Sims, the famous “med
icine man” of New York city, has recent
ly made a noteworthy contribution to the
literature of theffdd conflict between the
rival claimant for the discovery of anaes
thesia. He seeks to put all the facts con
nected with this dispute in chronological
order, and names lire. Wells, Morton,
Jackson, and Crawford W. Long of Ath
ens, in this State, to the latter of whom
he thinks priority- should undoubtedly be
accorded. I>r. Long’s first use of ctlier
as an anesthetic in surgery is settled by
Dr. Sims as having been in the year 1843,
but before he made it public liis rivals
stumbled upon it and at once published
it to the world. Of tlte latter, all had
evil fortune in after years. Wells commit
ted suicide while insane, Morton died of
congestion of tire brain, and Jackson is
hopelessly insane and in an asylum. Dr.
Long is still living we are glad to say, at
Athens, and is a leading citizen and phy
sician of that place. Dr. Situs thinks the
sum of SIOO,OOO ought to be appropria
ted by Congrees and divided between the
four gentlemen, named, or their descen
dants. But if as he says, and we have
been tanght to believe, Dr. Long was the
first to make the discovery, why should
he not have it all? Why diviee the profits
as well as the honors?—ATocon Tel,

UOV. SOUTH TO EXPLAIN.
In reply to our wish, expressed in
tho Times of Friday, that Gov. Smith
would further explain the $15,000 fee
matter, a friend informs us that our
wish will lie fully gratified in due
time.
Gov. Smith wua absent when the
fee was paid, and on his return to
Atlanta he immediately addressed a
letter to Gov. Colquitt, in which he
denied ever making any contract to
pay twenty-five per cent, to uny per
son for the collection of the claim.
What, he did do, he says, was to
consent that the expense of collecting
tho claim should not exceed twenty
five per cent. In other words, he, as
Governor, would pay expenses in
curred and services actually rendered,
a sum not exceeding twenty-five per
cent. He never agreed to pay that
amount without regard to expenses
incurred and services rendered,
Gov. Smith charges in his letter,
that Gov. Colquitt paid the $30,000
to Messrs. Darlington and Alston,
his porsouul friends, with undue
haste and in un informal manner,
and without tho presentation, by
them, of any just claim for expenses
incurred or services rendered. As
the press have stated that this acs
tion was based upon a contract made
by him with these parties, aud the
late Col. Baugh (whose money i3
still in the hands of tho Governor.)
Gov. Smith calls for a copy of all
the records in the case, aud an expla
nation from Gov. Colquitt in regard
to his haste in paying this enormous
tee without duo consideration aud a
careful examination into the facts of
the case. Gov. Colquitt’s reply and
Gov. Smith’s letter will be published
iu a few days, and from this corres
pondence the overburdened tax-pay
ors can judge whether or not their
interests have been protected. Of
course, we can give uo opinion at this
time, as to the merits of the contro
versy, but we feel it due Gov. Smith
to state that lie is promptly seeking
to set himself right iu the matter.
THE PKKIIIDKNT AND THE PAHTIBM.
If it be really true, as would ap
pear from a multitude of reports aud
indications, that Mr. Hayes indulged
the hope of making anew political
party by the dispensation of offices
and the granting of sectional favors,
the failure of the scheme is one cred
itable to the people of the country.
It goes to show that party attach
ments fouuded on principle cannot
be broken in this way, and tho peo
ple have an intelligent comprehen
sion of governmental policies more
important than temporary advan
tages to men or sections. The expe
rience of Mr. Hayes is not an excep
tional one in our history. President
Tyler’s separation from his Whig
supporters did not lead to the forma
tion of anew party. Tho Democrats
sustained him in his differences with
tlte Whigs, but both tho Whig and
Democratic parties maintained their
organizations and continued their
contests just us if no suen episode as
Tyler’s administration had ever oc
curred. Just so with Andrew John
son. His own party became his bit
ter enemies, and the Democrats sus
tained him to tho best of their ability,
but uo appreciable breach iu either
of these organizations resulted from
his severance of his party relations.
Just so wo hope aud expect it will
be witli President ilayes. He lias
abandoned the wicked and ruinous
“Southern policy” of liis own party,
and lias gone as far perhaps as the
Executive by himself can go towards
the adoption of tho antagonistic
Democratic policy. For this Presi
dent Hayes deserves tho applause of
the country, and iu this he deserves
the support of tho country, and espe
cially of tho Democratic party. But
the occasion is not one that calls for
the disruption of the latter party, nor
is it requisite to tho successful up
holding of tho President's policy.
Tho Democrats in Congress and in
the country can sustain Mr. Hayes in
this matter as well by action within
their own organization as by break
ing party lines. We are assured that
they will do this, and we have no
fears that the extreme wing of the
Radical party will be able to triumph
over the President if he will only
stand firm in his position. Whatever
constitutional and patriotic measures
lie may adopt, or whatever good
nominations ho may make, if op
posed by ultra lttqniblioans, will be
successfully sustained by the Demo
crats. President Hayes has planted
himself on strong as well as consti
tutional ground in his course towards
the people of the South, and while
no disruption of purties is needed to
maintain it, no political party can
hope to thrive by arraying itself in
opposition to it.

The Power of a Nulld Noullt.
Mr. Howard Carroll, a famous cor
respondent of the New York Times,
evidently thinks tho solid Soutli is
the biggest thing politically at tho
13th century. Ho says the people of
this section know their power and in
tend to keep it,.—They control the
Houso of Representatives; they will
in two years control the Senate.
This majority they will increase by
dividing Texas into a number of
States. Mr. Carroll also says that,
the next Presidency is within their
grip, and adds: “Who is to prevent
them from electing any candidate
thut may suit their fancy ? They
have 138 electoral votes; these they
can secure without spending a dollar
—for, of course, the Republican party
iu the cotton States is dead, and will
never again come to life. To make
up votes enough in the Electoral Col
lege to secure tho seating of their
candidate, all they have to do is to
cany New York, with her 35 votes,
and Indiana, with her 15; these two
States, together with the “solid
South,” give 188 votes, or a majority
of seven iu the Electoral College.
Does any one suppose that Southern
Democrats do not know these facts V
They know but too well tiiat to se
cure the National Administration
they have only to carry Northern
States; they know but too well tiiat
they need make no light on the Pa
cific const; all the Now England
States, including Connecticut, they
can let go by default; they need
make no effort in ail the West out
side of Indiana; and from all the
great States of that section, from
California, from the rich Democrats
of Boston, from the West, the North,
the South, and the East, they eau
pour money without end into the two
States named. New York and Indi
ana can be made repositories for the
political assessments levied on
the Democratic faithful iu every
other part of the Union.”
We do not dispute that Mr. Carroll
speaks veraciously when he states
that the solid South is a majestic
power, and tiiat her people areaware
of the fact. It. may be, too, that the
South can command the next Presi
dency, but she does not unduly
trouble her head in that direction, so
far as we are able to perceive. She
simply proposes, at present, to use
her manifest and tremendous points
of political advantage for tier own
prosperity arid the common weal.
Mr. Carroll's persistent idea is to
Sectionalize issues and array a solid
North against this solid South. We
doubt his success; but it is to he
hoped that Southern solidarity will
survive so long as Radical Puritan
machinations stiail continue to lie
dangerous. The Republican party
managers are responsible for the
solid South. They may make wry
faces over it; but what cun they do
to destroy it, so long as they employ
their old weapons of offense, now
worse than useless? — Aitgusla Chroni

IIUHUIT PASIIA'S EXPLOIT.
HE FIRES THE FIRST OtlN IN THE IttISSO
TURKIBH WAR.
A special edition of tho London
Telegraph furnishes the following ac
count of Hobart Pasha’s daring ex
ploit on the Danube in passing the
Russian batteries: It is stated that
while his vessel was lying at Rust
chuk the Turkish authorities re
ceived intelligence of the arrival of
the Russians atGalatz, and that they
were placing torpedoes in the river.
Hobart Pasha was advised to leave
his steamer in the Danube ami re
turn to Constantinople via Varna,
but, disdaining all such counsel, lie
declared that ho would rather blow
up his ship than desert her. Night
approaching, lie made everything
ready for running into the Black Sea,
in opposition to all Russian hostile
iuteutions, getting clear fires under
the boilers of his craft, iu order to
avoid smoke from her funnel, and
making other arraugetneius. The
liethymo.be it said, is a very fast
boar, callable of steaming at the rate
of fifteen knots an hour. When Ho
bart l’asha started on liis daring ex
pedition the Danube current was run
ning swiftly, being estimated at fully
five knots an hour. Upon nearing
Galatz he found the heavily armed
Russian batteries commanding the
river, lookiug capable of siuking
anything afloat, besides the torpedoes
reported to be hidden beneath the
waters. Immediately it was dark
the word was passed, “Lights out,”
aud the steamer sped rapidly along.
The batteries were soon reached, ami
the Russian lanterns, the heavy guns
and soldiers in great numbers were
clearly visible to those who mauned
the Re thy mo, when suddenly a rock
et was sent up from the Roumanian
shore to apprise the Muscovite gun
ners of Hobart Pasha’s coming.
Other rockets followed iu quick suc
cession. Then the hoarse word of
command was distictly heard.
Bugles sounded and the drums beat
merrily, summoning the Russians
to their posts. Hobart Pasha ex
pected every moment to be blown
out of tbe water by the fire of the
heavy guns he was treating so cava
lierly ; but, being determined to make
efforts iu some degree proportionate
to the great, risk he was facing, he
mu his vessel close iu shore, not
forty metres from the batteries them
selves—indeed, so near that the Rus
sian gunners were unable to depress
the pieces sufficiently fast to get a
good aim. His boat went quickly
past at twenty knots an hour, and
soon all danger was over. When
satisfied ho had nothing to fear from
his enemies, Hobart Pasha ordered
the crew of the Rethymo, which car
ried one 40 pounder Armstrong gun,
to throw one shell into the centre of
tbe Russian camp, an order which
wasquiekiy obeyed,the missile burst
ing in the midst of tho Muscovite
tents. Its effects were, of course,
unknown, but it was the first cannon
shot fired upon tbe Danube in the
Kusso-Ttirkish war. Hobart Pasha
subsequently proceeded to Constan
tinople, where he received a hearty
welcome and enthusiastic congratu
lations.

Buffalo gnats in countless numbers
made their appearance in the Yazoo
Valley, and the hill country ttouiigu
ous thereto, one day last week, arid
from that ttmo till the present date
have damaged the farming interests
of the county from SIO,OOO to $20,000.
We hear of the deaths of plow
stock from the Leiiore line on the
north to the Yazoo on the south
hero a mule, there two or three, at
other places four or five, and still at
others larger numbers. At one place
our information puts the loss pf the
proprietor at tho large number of
nineteen head. Altogether wo do
not think we over estimate when ve
state the number of dead horses arid
mules to be from IGO to <WO, and the
value t hereof from slo,Out) to $20,000.
Quite a number of planters have
been in town this week for the pur
pose of purchasing mules with which
to supply the places of the dead ones,
but the stock is totally inadequate to
the demand. If some of the numer
ous horso dealers that usually mi
grate to this section about, the time
tlte wild geese begin to 11 v south
ward, and return northward simul
taneously with the sandhill cranes,
had bad foresight enough to have
bad a full supply of the hybrids on
hand to meet the present, ernet
gency, they would have struck a “big
bonanza,”
Tho gnats usually come much ear
lier in the season titan this, and as
they did not arrive at the accustom
ed time, the people had very natural
ly concluded that they would not ix
visited by the little pests at all this
year, consequently they were totally
unprepared to protect their animals.

HOW SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS ARE AP
PROACHED BY THE A DM I NIST ATI ON.
Washington, May 14.— The Admin
istration is exerting all its influence
to defeat the election of Ham Randall
to the Speakership of the House ol
Representatives. This is one of the
ways in which Southern Democrats
are expected to support the policy of
liis Fraudulency. They are encoura
ged to elect a Southern Democrat,
who is in accord with the President’s
policy of subsidizing private corpor
ations under pretense of developing
the material resources of tho South.
With this end in view overtures have
been made to more than one South
ern Democratic member of the House,
ami the question has been asked
whether he would not vote for A. 8.,
a Southern Democrat, with the un
derstanding tiiat he was in accord
with Hayes’ policy. One of the gen
tlemen whowusa party to the Mat
thews-Foster bargain bus promised
Hayes to deliver him four Democrats
from the South who will vote for the
cundidate of the Administration.
Secretary Sherman not long ago up- j
preached a DemoeaaLie members of the
House on the subject of the Speakership.
In reply to the direct question, “Who are
you going to vote for tor Speaker?” the
gentleman replied, “Mr. Randall." Sher
man then endeavored to dissuade the
Democratic member from this course, and
tlte principal argument be usedwas to the
efleet that Randall was bitter and uncom
promising in his hostility to the Adminis
trition; he was the most objectionable
man among all the candidates for the
Speakership; lie was a bitter partisan,
and bis election would signify an unre
lenting hostility on the part of the major
ity in the House to the Administration.
“Randall," continued Sherman, “could do
more than any man in his party to solidi
fy the opposition to Hayes’ policy, and
to defeat the liberal policy the Adminis
tration favored in the appropriation ol
public money tor the development of
Southern interests.” The member thus
approached said tiiat Mr. Randall could
be just as formidable in liis opposition on
the floor as the leader of tbe House. “No,"
replied Sherman, “he can do us infinitely
more injury us Speaker. He will j ogan
ize the House against us, and defeat us in
his appointment of the regular and special
eommitees.”
Better Crop itrport* from California.
San Francisco, May 16.— Crop reports
hum all parts of the State show tiiat the
cool weather of the past week and the
light rains of the present week have ma
terially improved the wheat prospect
throughout the northern portion of the
State. A great deal of grain that was ex
pected to be good for nothing hut hay
will produce half a crop, while the early
sown and summer fallowed lands promise
an abundant harvest. Less improvement
lias occurred in the southern portion of
the State, and the prospects there are
practically unchanged so far as the wheat
is concerned, though pasturage lias be en
greatly benefited by tin) recent showers
