Friday last was a hotter day in Now
York than in this latitude. Tlio mer
cury reached 90 in the afternoon. It
has no doubt been still hotter there
since Friday. _
The Southern Republican Associa
tion at Washington last week passed
resolutions bitterly denouncing the
Republican of that city, the organ of
the Administration, because it had
applied to them the terms “carpet
baggers and scallawags.”
The Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph
Company is steadily extending its
lines southward. Litigation with the
Western Union Company or the rail
road lines may delay its progress a
little, but it is still coming. It is an
nounced that it will be working to
Athens, Ala., in thirty days. Where
it cannot obtain the right of way
along railroads, it puts up its wires
along t he wagon roads.
Further nominations for the Conven
tion are Messrs. It Toombs and Win. M-
Reese in Wilkes county; Jus. M. Mercier
in Lincoln county; 11. 1L Perry, W. IJ.
Jones and Justin It. Heath, of Burke
county ; J. C. Dell, of Screven county;
and W. D Branner, of Bulloch county.
The auti-conventionists in Spalding coun
ty have nominated C. 8. Westmoreland
and E J. Dismukes.
In a.iswer to Gen. Sherman’s com
plaints about the failure of Congress
to provide for the maintenance of the
army, the Washington I’ress perti
nently asks: “Well, whoso fault?
Whose, more than his own and broth
er John’s? Why did they put off the
meeting of Congress till away next
fall? Why also insist on usiDg the
array as an electioneering instru
ment, as a bulldozing instrument,
and an instrument to scare Congress
into reversing the popular will?”

The Opelika Times says: “We no
ticed ten bales of osnaburgs brought,
down by the Savannah & Memphis
Railroad from the Bradford factory,
in Coosa county. Messrs. Simon &
Moore run about onu thousand spin
dles and a number of looms. They
dispose of the most of their goods in
Coosa and adjoining counties. Such
enterprises as this are, in the near
future, destined to bring about a de
gree of prosperity such as has never
been witnessed in the South, even be
fore the war.”
We see that tlie Montgomery Ad
vertiser has re-published some spirit
ed stanzas on the death of President
Harrison, written by the late Col. A.
A. Dexter in 1841. Can the Adverti
ser inform us whether a poem of
considerable length, entitled “La
bor," which wits written by Col. Dex
ter a year or two beforo his death,
lias ever been published? Having
seen the manuscript before Col. Dex
ter had quite finished or revised it,
we are of the opinion that it had de
cided merit, and ought to bo pub
lished by his heirs, if it has not, al
ready been done. We have never
seen it or heard of it in print.
Excitement in Burke.—We learn
from the Augusta Chronicle that
much excitement has been occasion
ed in that city and in But ko county
by the reported ordering out of the
Richmond Hussars to assist in the
arrest of the parties who lynched a
negro named Ed. Welsh, couilned in
jail at Waynesboro for the murder of
a peddler named Win. O’Brien, in
March last. It seems that the’ com
pany was not actually ordered out,
but Gov. Colquitt, at the request of
Solicitor Dutchor, authorized tho
Sheriff of Richmond county to call
upon them to aid him, as a posse
comitatus subject to tho civil author
ity, in case of need. But tho civil
authorities say that there is no need
for tho military and they .have not
yet been, ordered out.
The Courier-Journal reports the
passage of large numbers of white
shad up the falls of the Ohio at
Louisville, and the catch of quite a
number of them by tho fishermen.
They weigh from two to four pounds
each, and are pronounced genuine
white shad by kuowing ones who
have examined them. There is no
doubt that they are some of the shad
deposited by the United States Com
missioner in tho Allegheny river in
1872, or the progeny of those deposi
ted, because there were no shnd in
the Ohio or any of its branches until
this experiment was tried. The fact
proves the theory that shad will at
one season of the year migrate from
fresh to salt water, and at another
seasou ascend the same fresh water
streams to deposit their spawn.
More Candidates.— We publish the
announcement of Mr. John P. Mau
ley as a candidate for the Con
stitutional Convention. Mr. Manley
claims to be a representative of the
business interests, and he has been
long and creditably connected with
those interests in Columbus. We
believe that he would faithfully rep
resent all our great interests in the
Convention, and that he would make
a safe and reliable delegate.
Hon. Mark H. Blandford announces
himself a candidate for delegate to
the Convention. Ho is so well and
favorably known to the people of the
whole district as to need no introduc
tion by us. If elected, he will un
doubtedly take a leading part in the
deliberations of the Convention, and
be a representative of whom the dis
trict may be justly proud.

MEXICO AM* TUB IJMTF.D STATE*.
Our dispatches of to-day, in con
nection with mail accounts from
Now Orleans also published to-day,
confirm tho previous reports of a
movement hi favor of Lerdo, stimu
lated from tills country. Gen. Ord
seems to look with favor upon the
movement, and he usks for discre
tionary powers which might enable
him to make such dispositions of
United States troops us would ma
terially help the Lerdo party. He re
ports tho best classes of Northern
Mexico as favoring Lerdo, and the
worst or antagonistic classes as ma
king such depredations U3 call foi
tho discretionary authority which he
asks—authority to cross tho line and
[iunish tho depredating Mexicans on
their own soil. Tho dispatches say
tliut it is understood in army circles
that this will hereafter be the policy
of our Government.
It ought to havo been tho policy
long ago; or if milder repressive
measures had been adopted long
ago there would now bo no necessity
for tills extrerao course. The out
rages committed by the Modocs on
tho people of Oregon, or by the
Sioux on the Black Hills intruders,
were trifles compared with tho dep
redations of Mexican freebooters
upon the people of Western Texas.
For tho Modoc aud Sioux wars the
Government employed thousands of
soldiers and spent millions of dol
lars, but it has gonorally left the
people of Texus to take care of them
solves—in fact, it has prevented them
from taking care of themselves by
resorting to such vigorous measures
as would carry terror to the Mexi
cans. Gen. Grant seemed to think
that the only use for United States
troops in the South was to make war
upon the people of the South—not to
protect them from foreign invasion
us the constitution requires.
It will bo another rightful change
of “Southern policy” if the now Ad
ministration gives Gen. Ord the au
thority asked for. Wo do not say
this in anticipation of any annexa
tion of Mexican territory to tho Uni
ted States, or on account of any pre
judice in favor of any faction in Mex
ico. We have no such prejudice, or
even preference, for in truth we do
not know whether tho Diaz or the
Lerdo faction is most liberal in its
views. Neither do we care for the
annexation of Mexican territory.
There is no lack of room in this coun
try yet—no lack of almost any kind
of soil or climate any man may waut.
We had better fill up the good coun
try we have than rush into difficul
ties for the purpose of acquiring
more, especially as wo would
have to take with the territory
an uncongenial and ignorant popula
tion owning tho best portions of it.
It has been nearly thirty years since
the country embraced in tho Territo
ry of New Mexico was annexed to the
Uuited States, and it is a Territory
yet, chiefly because of the large num
berof ignorant aud half-civilized peo
ple which it contained, and whose
presence there retards settlement by
a better population from the States
or from Europe. Asa similar popu
lation are to be found in all parts of
Northern Mexico, it is probable that
their settlement by emigration from
this country, if annexed, would be
equally slow, and tho acquisition
equally unprofitable.
But tho people of Western Texas
are entitled to tho protection of the
Federal Government, and they ought
to have it, even if it be found neces
sary to overrun or to annex Northern
Mexico to give it to them.
The people of Webster county have
nominated Judge D. B. Ilarroll to
complete tho ticket nominated for
delegates of tho 12th Senatorial dis
trict in tho Constitutional Conven
tion.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
two young New Yorkers named Jen
nings “havo recently purchased
tho Glade gold mine property in
Hall county, paying therefor to Mr.
Lombard, the former owner, about
$30,000. The property comprises
about two thousand acres.”
In the Ninth Senatorial District
there aro two nominated tickets in
the field—one for undone against
tho Convention. The Convention
ticket is-J. H. Hand of Baker, P. E.
Boyd of Calhoun, and R. T. Nesbitt
of Early; tho anti-Convention ticket
-J. H. Hand of Baker, and G. B.
Whldden of Calhoun.
That lioness, loose and playing
destruction in Hanover county, Va.,
of which we had telegraphic mention
a few days since, turns out to have
been a large dog, according to a dis
patch to the Now York Herald. The

of immense size, a cross between the
Newfoundland and St. Bernard.

The New Orleans Democrat says
that two or three parties representing

understood that a company of Fed

One Solon Baker, of Malden, Mass.,
having heard terrible tales of Ku-
Klux at the South, and no doubt be
lieviug that the wholo whito popula
tion were lawless desperadoes, re
cently committed himself to the care
and companionship of a negro named
Solomon Fisher, and the two left
Jacksonville, Fla., together in a boat,
to explore for land that Baker wished
to buy. A few days afterwards the
boat was found, containing Baker’s
coat and valise, but neither him nor
his companion. A day or two later
Baker’s body was found in the water,
with marks which showed that ho
had been murdered and robbed.
Fisher was arrested with Baker’s
gun and belt in his possession, and
has b?en committed to jail.

Mr. Chairman and Fellow- CilUens:
With feelings of profound gratitude
I accept the nomination, and pledge
myself that I will use my best en
deavors, should Ibe elected, to pro
mote your interest, so that you will
never have oauso to regret that you
have confided in me this great re
sponsibility and honorable position.
Our state is burtheaed with heavy
taxation, and our organic law ought
to be so amended and construoted as
to reduce the expenses of the Htate
and prevent unnecessary expendi
ture of tho public funds. It is my
firm conviction that this can be
done in the Constitutional Conven
tion, should it be called. Tho people
need not fear tho passage of obnox
ious amendments which aro hold up
to frighten them, such as tho estab
lishment of the whipping post,
and imprisonment for debt,
for these have passed away, with the
t hings that were, and a higher order
of civilization has taken their place
In their minds of the people. Neith
er will the right of suffrage or the
right of freedom be interfered with.
The Homestead will not bo so dis
turbed as to endanger the ratifica
tion of tho Constitution by a people
who are so unanimously in favor of
ample protection to women and chil
dren against the adversities and mis
fortunes of life.
While there may bo some diversi
ties of opinion in regard to a Home
stead, there are other amendments
to the Constitution of vital impor
tance, in which a largo majority of
tho poople concur; indeed in our own
section I have heard no disentiug
voice. Some of these are a reduction
of tile members of the General As
sembly, and their “per diem” fixed
in the Constitution as well as the ex
pense of the clerical force. Having
been Secretary of tho Senate of Geor
gia, I know something of the work
and expense of that department.
The Hon. Mr. Hudson and Mr. Stan
ford, who are present can tell the
expense of these departments now.
They state tliut, the clerical expense
of the Senate is $11,500, and that of
tho House about $25,000; making a
total of $36,000. After I had served
a while as Secretary of the Seriate, at
my suggestion the Hon. Mr. Carring
ton, then Clerk of the House, aud
myself made a proposition to tlio
Legislature that if they could appro
priate $3,500 for the entire expenses
of the Senate and $-4,000 for the ex
penses of the House, wo would have
all the work done for that amount
which was accepted, and an act pased
making it tho law. The work was
well done for that amount, and to
tho satifaction of.all. The amount,
of work was as much or more then
than now. In this item alone, over
$25,000 could be saved, which added
to the amount saved in tho reduction
of the number of members in the
General Assembly and biennial ses
sions, with a reduction of the num
bers of judges and other officers of
the Government, and a proper re
duction on ail salaries of officers,
would make an annual saving of at
least one huudred and fifty or two
hundred thousand dollars.
Tho Constitution ought to bo so
amended as to prevent unnecessary
local legislation and improper appro
priations of the people’s money.
When the present Constitution was
made cotton was worth about three
times as much as it is now, and the
people did not then feel the burthen
as they do now. If they wore high
then they are certainly much too high
now. Besides, salaries ought not to
be so high as to offer rewards to al
lure people away from tho industrial
pursuits of life to live on the high
salary of an office that requires but
little service. We need more pro
ductive men, fewer legislators, and
less legislation.
Tlie Constitution needs amendment
in the executive, legislative and judi
cial departments, in order to relieve
the people, and I believe a conven
tion for that purpose the most speedy
and effectual way of doing it. Time
will not allow me now to give the
reasons, but they must be apparent
to all. Should the convention meet,
and I am a member of it, I shall use
my best efforts to bring about these
results. I feel my own inability and
weakness, especially among the best
talent of the State, who will be there
assembled. Thirty-six years of study
and practice of law has given me
some knowledge of constitutional
law, and the wants of the people,
which, I think, the hotter qualities
me for the work, although many of
my warmest friends think that my
interest as a farmer, and the large
amount of taxes I pay, will contri
bute most to make me a proper and
fit representative of their interest.
Whatever ability I have shall all be
freely given and devoted to your best
interest, which is the only return I
can give for the houor conferred upon
me. Be that as it may, I shall do all
that I can to accomplish these ends.
Should tho Convention meet and
adopt a constitution, I am sure that
it will be such au one as the people
will gladly accept. Intelligent men,
who desire the reduction of their ex
penses and the other needed amend
ments to the constitution upon which
there is so little difference of opinion,
aud yet so important, will not likely
hazard the constitution with amend
ments that would make it so objec
tionable to the people, and thereby
risk tho chance of losing all the
more important amendments.
Therefore let us all be united, and
promote harmony and peace, econ
omy aud industry, at home and in
the government, aod thereby aid in
restoring our good old Common
wealth to that peace and prosperity
which once made her so distinguished
among her sister States.
HAT IIKEAKINU AT LAST.
Extract from the address of Col. ft. 8. Scott, at the
Went Selma Cemetery, on the 20th of April.]
Tlie election in this country of a
Chief Magistrate upon a basis purely
sectional, with the other brandies of
tlie government filled upon the same
basis, a result which, hud there been
no war, must have surely followed,
would have pluced Hie rights oT the
minority section of the Btutes at the
mercy of the dominant or majority
section ; and one has read the history
of the world to little purpose, and has
but a superficial knowledge of hu
man character, who does not know
that, this power would have been ex
ercised in the interest of the latter,
or majority section, to the detriment
of the former, or minority section.
But, as this could not have been
done without tlie rights of all the
Btutes, those of tho majority section,
as well as the others, being injurious
ly affected tiy ilia the end, through
the establishment of precedents,
each step by the Government would
have been most cauiiously taken and
guarded, and every requisite prepara
tion made for the security of the
r ext step, until the march to abso
lute power on the part of tlie Gov
ernment would have been accom
plished; and that too, so natur
ally, quietly and gradually,
that tlie people of tlie Biates
could not have been aroused to
the nature and scope of the move
ment, before their rights were
gone and they helpless und in chains.
But the war came and passed away!
Aud presuming upon the passions
engendered by it among the people
of the controlling or majority section,
the Government, by a long and des
perate lean, attained what it would
otherwise have reached, by soft and
easy gradations—surrounded the bal
lot-box with its soldiery—destroyed
and built up State governments at
will thereby not only shocking the
moral sense of patriots throughout
the entire Uuiou, but opening their
eyes at once and widely to the perils
of the centralized despotism with
which they were threatened. That
matchless form of government, be
queathed to us by our fathers,in which
the rights of t he whole aro made con
sistent with those of the several parts,
arid founded upon the great system
of popular suffrage, is rio failure in
this country yet! Already have the
people fearlessly, and in no measured
terms, proclaimed that the right of
local self-government not simply
“may be,” but shall be, secured to
the States. Truly,truly is the guiding
hand of a benifleent and all-wise
Providence manifested in each one of
the bold and desperate moves of po
litical gamblers and conspirators to
prevent being made to work our,
directly and surely, tho re-establish
ment of sound constitutional gov
ernment overy portion of our
common country. Thank God
it! Thank God the night is
at last passing away-a night
which lias taken up no small
part of tlie existence of this country ;
and light is beginning once more to
paint tier colors of purple and gold
upon the eastern horizon. A dreary
night, especially to the South, has it
been—u night unrelieved bv light or
moon or star, and horrid with thun
ders and tempests. Wearily—wearily
have patriots, all over the land, been
looking for the darkness to end;
wearily—wearily—with a constantly
recurring, and a deeper and yet deep
er, disappointment. Despair had
well-nigh seized upon their anxious
souls, wtieu the powerful declaration
was made at the ballot-box,
by which was announced “the
coining of the day.” The
unmerited sufferings of the
Southern people, during this long
and disastrous night, and the hero
ic ami uncomplaining fortitude witli
which they have been supported, no
tongue can tell—no mind conceive;
but, in the joy of the approaching de
liverance, while they may not be able
to forget these trials (nor indeed
should they do so, for out of them
tmvesprung the noblest and grandest
virtues), and with hearts tilied with
love for a Constitutional Union,
which even oppression in its name
could not crusti, and with coufideuce
in the early purification of every part
of their “Fat her’s House,” they, join
ing hands with their conservative
brethren of the North, East and
West, can and do, fervently and
sincerely unite, on this, the first Me
morial Day of the country’s second
century, in the glad song of Glory to
God in the Highest—peace on earth
and good will toward men, closing
with the triumphant and jubilant
refrain, of Happy is the nation whose
God is the Lord !
And when this much longed for
and good time shall come to this
country,
“Who can place a limit to the giant's unchained
strength,
Or curb his swiftness in the forward race?'*
or, to change the figure, who or what
will have power to check the sturdy
youth of American Liberty upon his
upward path, bearing in his hands.
“Mid snow and ice,
TUe banner with the strange device
EXCFXStOR 1”
Learning a lesson from his late experience
in being so nearly lost in the storm, anil
buried beneath the falling avalanche, —
with a more watchful eye, a stronger
heart and a firmer step,—be will slowly
but surely mount ‘‘higher and higher” the
steps belore him. Along the path dark
ened by grim Alpine woods, and roughen
ed by sharp Alpine rocks, higher and
higher -across yawning chasms and
back ravines and frosted glaziers,
higher and higher over iceclad
slopes and frowning precipices, and
frowning snow drifts,—higher and higher
—in spite ol howling blast, and rushing
avalanche, and roaring flood, and thick
euing cloud, and blinding lightning and
crashing thunder, higher and higher,
—until the very crest ol power is attained
bathed in (he glad sunlight, and fanned
by the glad breezes of a substantial and
abiding prosperity. Then—oh! then
shall this prosperity, based as it will be
—based as it must be—upon the rights ol
the States, unmutilated and unimpaired
rights, for which Confederate soldiers
struggled and died.—make the memories
of these heroes shine with a brightness
and beauty scarcely less than supernal.
We copy the concluding portion of
the address delivered by Col. S. B,
Scott., of Russell county, Ala., at the
West Selma Cemetery on Memorial
day. The Selma Times says of the
whole address: “It is as fine a pro
duction of its kiod-as we have ever
real, and we know that our citizens
reading it quietly, will enjoy it more
than they could possibly have done
listening to it amid the confusiou in
cidental to the large crowd that was
present when it was delivered. We
are sure that all who read it will
agree witli us as to its excellence, and
will join us in congratulating the
ladies of the Memorial Association
because of their happy selection of
an orator for Memorial Day.”
There is an editor out West run
ning a 10x12 sheet, in a town of about
seventy five inhabitants, who talks
grandly of a prospective visit to the
“country,” and his release, for the
season, from the busy haunts of men
and the bustle and toil of the crowd
ed oitv.
