Tho Mirror says that a largo number
of the wells of Fort Valley hare almost
failed. The public well which lias
always afforded an abundance of good
water, has about failed. All the ponds
around town hae completely dried up.

The trial of the Telegraph case at
Montgomery was not concluded on
Friday. The argument was to hare
been made yesterday, and the case
then submitted to a jury. We regard
the submissiou of it to a jury as a
point gained by the Atlantic and
Pacific Company, the Western Union
Company having been overruled in
its motions to prevent its going to a
jury.
The Cartersvllle Express says that
Acworth Is a point of great interest
just now of large gold mining enter
prises. In five miles from the place
operations have already been com
menced with approved machinery
for crushiug tho ore and gathering
the rich deposits of gold. Another
company has been organized with a
capital of $260,000t0 begin operations
two miles below the town as soon as
the machinery, already ordered, can
bo shipped and placed in position.
Both of these companies are com
posed of Northern capitalists inuin

Wool.— The Hawkinsville Dispatch
reports a steady advance in the price
of wool since the opening of the mar
kept. The opening price was 19 to
21 oents. Previous to last week it
bad advanced to 22 and 23 cents. On
Monday last a gentleman from Dooly
sold his wool clip for 25j cents cash
per pound, and there was lively bid
ding between the merchants. Wed
nesday evening 20 cents per pound
was being offered.
We notice that the merchants are
advertising for great quantities of
wool. Wo mention these facts to
draw the attention of farmers to the
very great difference In both price
and demand between wool and cot
ton in Georgia.
Editor Times:—Allow us to suggest
the names of Col. A. H. Chappell and
F. F. Fontaine, Esq., as proper per
sons to represent Muscogee in the
Constitutional Convention. The form
er is a representative man of the hal
cyon days of Georgia, and his name
would give character and a prestige to
the cause over the State. Toombs and
Jenkins in the east, and Chappell in
the west of Georgia, would be entire
ly appropriate. The latter Is a man
of the highest literary culture and a
praotical and scientific farmer and
writer and would represent that in
terest ami all interests well.

llon. James Jackson, iu a commu
nication to the Atlanta Constitution,
notices references made to him
self in Gov. Smith’s late letter ad
dressed to Gov. Colquitt. Judge
Jackson says that Gov. Smith is mis
taken in saying that ho (Judge J.)
prior to Gov. Colquitt’s making his
decision, advised him to get the tes
timony of Gov. Smith on the case Ire
fore paying the "big fee.” In refer
ence to Gov. Smith’s information
thatJadge Jackson had counselled
Gov. Colquitt to submit the whole
case to tho Judges of tho Supremo
Court for their opinion, Judge Jack
son says:
On the day that the Governor or
dered the money paid, I chanced to
be in bis offloe. Whether at the mo
ment of our conservation, he had al
ready passed the order, or was then
about to do so, Ido not know. He
had certainly determined on his
course, for he so told me during the
conversation. Nor do I remember
whether be or I started tbeoonversu
tion on that subject, but it arose iu
some way, and I distinctly remember
stating to him that I felt anxious
that be should make no mistake
about so important a matter, as
his personal and political ene
mies would gladly seise any
pretext to question his motives
and criticise his conduot, and I
asked him, “are you sure that you
are well grounded in wbat you are
doiug. Have you the evidence be
fore you, and areyousatisfied about
the contract?” Efe tbeu replied that
he had Garlington’a and Alston’s affi
davits, and Baugh's letter, all of
which set out the contract distinctly,
besides written evidence In the office.
I then said, “What does Gov. Smith
say about it? Had you not, by way
of abuudaut caution, better have his
recollection of the contraot? He re
plied that he had tho contract in
writing over the signature of Go,v_
Smith endptsed upon a contract
made between Col. Baugh and Gen.
H. R. Jackson, to the effect that the
State was to he at no additional ex
pense, that ths rights of other agents
should be in no wise altered by that
contract, and that the sum paid to all
the agents of the State should notex
ceed 25 per cent, on the amount
she received. He further said that
Bullock’s contract was 12J per cent,
to include $3,000 paid Baugh in cash,
but that when other ageDts or attor
neys were employed in addition to
Baugh, Garllngton and Alston, Gov.
Smith had theu increased the fee to
25 per cent. • that he did not think it
unreasonable that such a contract
snouid have been mode in view of
the uncertain prospect of collecting
anything, and of the additional fact
that all expenses were to be borne by
the agents, aud that their compensa
tion was entirely dependent on
success; that he was satisfied from
the evidence that such was the con
tract made by his predecessors, and
that good faith required him to carry
it out. Of course I said nothing
more; nor could I against such evi
dence of file, as I understood in the
executive office.
THE AETION UP THE CANDIDATE*.
This is the most common topic of
discussion on the streots, and some
feeling has been elicited by it. A
number of correspondents have ex
pressed their views through our pa
per, and we suppose that it ia in or
der for us to give our opinion about
It too.
We think the course of the candi
dates objectionable for two reasons—
-Ist, because It disregarded the decis
ion of the people at their meeting in
tho court-house on the 19th ult.; and
2d, because It effected a combination
to eleofc the three candidates select
ed by the commission.
The people, after full and free dis
cussion on the 19th of May, deter
mined that the true policy of the
friends of the Convention was to
have a number of oandidatos, so that
their rivalry and personal populari
ty might bring out a largo vote in
favor of calling the Convention. The
probability that the people of Ma
rlon and Chattahoochee might he
fearful that this would result in the
election of more than threo Muscogee
men was suggested at that time and
discussed, aud in view of this prob
ability the meeting, actiDg for the
Democratic party of the county, re
solved that it whs best to make no
nominations, but to leave the field
open to all the candidates. If the can
didates, after this action, found
reason to believe that It was injudi
cious and would work injuriously,
they ought to have invoked another
meeting of the people and re-sub
mitted the question to them. They
ought not to have taken tho respon
sibility of practically undoing the
work of tho people by clearing the
Held of half tho number of candid
ates the people thought proper to
leave In it.
It may bo contended that tho ac
tion of the candidates and t heir nom
inating commission leaves tho field
just as open as It was before to all but
the three gentlemen retired. Osten
sibly this is so, if tho circumstances
connected with their action be ig
nored. But practically it is different,
aud the care which the candidates
took to bind each other to support
the nominees very strongly suggests
that they expected it to be different.
They had, respectively, enlisted in
their support most of the voters of
the county, and the very reasonable
conclusion is that the course and
preference of the retiring candidates
would influence most of their friends
to do as they did—support the three
parties to the arrangement who
were left to the field. In addition to
this, the election is now so close
at hand as to give them
a great advantage over any now can
didates who may wish to step in and
take the jdaces of the gentlemen re
tired. We think, therefore, that the
three candidates selected by the
commission must have contemplated
that they would cut off formidable
opposition by an arrangement which
would at this late day clear the Held
of all candidates but themselves and
firmly bind those ruled out to sup
port them in opposition to any and
all new aspirants. We will not call
it a "snap judgment” on the people,
hut it looks very much like a move
ment to avoid the opposition which
the peoplo clearly Intended -they
should have.
We say nothing whatever as to any
personal preferences involved in
this action, for all the gentlemen fa
vored by the commission are person
ally acceptable to us, and we think
deserve the confidence and support
*f nil tho people of the district.
THE WORLD HOVE*!
And Hip Van Winkle awoke at last
after his slumber of twenty years.
Some such revivifying influence ap
pcars to have reached Republican
Federal officials of lute, and is re
producing before their astonished
gaze certain provisions of the consti
tution which they had for many years
regarded as buried in the tomb of
slavery. The first notablo instance
of this kind was tho recognition that
the States of this Union had the right
to make and manago their own local
governments, without the interven
tion of Federal military power.
Another is an order just
Issued by Federal Justice Brad
ley, at Atlanta. Federal Mar
shals, Commissioners and Attorneys
In the South have for a long time
been arresting oitizeus on the most
trivial and unsupported charges,
often taking them great distances
from home, requiring of them heavy
bonds for their appearance, imprisr
oning them, and when the day of
trial came It was found that there
was no evidence whatever against
them, and the wronged parties were
discharged without remedy, jt
would be safe to say that thousands
of good and peaceable citizens have
been thus dealt with in the last ten
years. But now Justice Bradley has
found provisions in tho Federal con
stitution, which he thus quotes;
“The right of the people to be secure
iu their persons, houses, papers
and effects ugainst unreasonable
searches and seizures shall not be
violated ; and that no warrants shall
issue but upon probable cause, ‘sup
ported by oath or affirmation, de
scribing the place to be searched and
the persons to be seized.”
He says that the loose mode of ar
resting people upon insufficient evi
dence, or without responsible wit
nesses, which has beeu so freely re
sorted to in Georgia, is inconsistent
with these provisions, and ho has
therefore issued the following order,
dated Atlanta, May 31st;
No warrant shall be issued by any
commissioner of this court for the
seizure or arrest of auy person char
ged with a crime or offense against
the Jaws of the United States upon
mere belief, or suspicion of the per
son making such charge; but only
upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation of such person, iu
which shall be stated the facts with
in hisown knowledge constituting the
grounds for such belief or suspicion.
JOINT HIGH IAMIHIMMIONM.
Editors Timet: Verily la this the day
of bulldozing and joint high commis
sions. Diseases often cotno and go
us epidemics; fashions come and go
by whims, and the same rule seems
to hold In politics, for just now the
politics of our couutry, both State
and national, seem to be suffering
from a violent attack of “Commis
sionsßeturning boards and com
missions have settled upon us worse
than boils upon the body of Job.
South Carolina, Florida and Louisi
ana had them, and Congress got a
bad case while discussing tho Presi
kential question: and now in the
last two or three days a bad case has
turned up in Muscogee county. In
volving the grave question of our
Constitutional Convention.
There is no objection to bo made
to the very worthy gentlemen who
constituted tho joint high commis
sion which has nominated three can
didates for Muscogee to represent
her in tho Convention. In looking
over the names of the gentlemen
who composed that commission, wo
see that eighteen of tho best citizens
of the community had been selected.
Nor Is there any fault to be found
with the action of the candidates (so
far as they are personal!j concerned)
in making the agreement Is publish
ed In yesterday’s Enquirer. Out
side of tho personal interest
of tho candidates, the action of the
Commission and the result of that
action will prove a serious question
in this matter of a Constitutional
Convention. The point that the peo
ple are to consider, and in which
they are interested, is, whether or
not we shall have a Convention. The
action of the candidates so far an
nounced, and the conduct of the pol
iticians and ringleaders, seem to in
dicate that the great point under
consideration is, not a Convention,
but who is to go to that Convention.
The prospects now, judging from the
present state of affairs, are that
while the would-be delegates are
fussing over their claims and pub
lishing their private arrangements
to the world, thereby making them
appear the action of the people gen
erally, the opponents of the Conven
tion are quietly working so as to east
a large Anti-Convention vote.
A Constitutional Convention for
Georgia is not, a party question; as
between Democrats and Republicans
there should be no controversy on
this subject. We need a change of
our organic law, and we ought to
have It. When so many good men
had voluntarily offered themselves,
it was Immaterial who of them were
sent to make this change. In the
election for Convention delegates
there should be as many votes as
possible for a Convention. The
greater the number of candidates
presented for a Convention the
heavier would be the vote.
For this reason the people
voted down nominations, primary
elections, and everything else tend
ing to close the field. What has oc
curred just ten days before the elec
tion? Practically a nomination has
been made. Tho candidates and
those favoring this commission busi
ness may say whnt they please to the
contrary, but the very fact that they
have set out three men and cut off
the rest, and tho fact that these
three have been published to tho
world ns candidates, is practically a
nomination—not made by the Dem
oerants, nor by the Radicals, but yet
by a body in caucus assembled. The
personal influence of the counted
out candidates, notwithstanding
their professions to tho contra
ry, has been lost by this action of
the nominating body. The ticket
brought out is a good one. We have
nothing to say against that. Ingram,
Peabody and Little make a good
team. No better men could be found
in Muscogee. But we sincerely trust
that the people will not feel bound
to support them just because they
are the nominees. The more the
candidates tho greater the interest in
the great question at issue, and we
hope to see candidates como out in
numbers between this time and the
election. Tho people at large are
the great party at interest In this
matter. Let that party speak, and
through any man, so he be a good
citizen and a reliable delegate.

WHO SHALL HO I
Editors Times:— lu the good old
days that have gone, the office sought
the man. Now, alas! the rule is
reversed, and for every position un
der the sun, whether by appointment
or election, there is a general scram
ble. There is no exception in the
question of a convention now under
consideration. Those wishing to go
as delegates are wire-pulling and
hob-nobbing—making up agree
ments and appointing commissions,
&c., &c., while the great object of
the election is lost entirely. As the
aspirants have fixed up a job among
themselves, let the people fix up a
job also. Let them come to the polls
on the 12th inst., and vote for the
Convention, and in voting put on
their tickets the names of men who
have no personal interest in the mat
ter outside of the good of the people
at large. Vote for men who have no
axes to grind. Vote for such men as
Col. Chappell and Judge Crawford—
men who ilon’t want to go, but are too
patriotic to refuse to go if the people
demand it.. Populos.
Nature has her inconsistencies. In
the pure and balmy air of the coun
try rye does not head in less than
eight months from the planting;
whilst in the stilled and malarial at
mosphere of the city, rye planted be
tween the hours of 8 and 12 r. m. will
greet the morning sun with a head
on which Daniel Webster’s hat would
resemble au acorn surmounting a
pumpkin.
Flannels should be washed in teped

GEORGIA CROP REPORT*.
The farmers in this section have
| bought but little if auy flour sinoo
I the advancement of prices. Judging
from the flattering prospect of the
finest harvest since the war, enough
' will be made to do them another
I year .—Hamilton Journal, lsf.
Homo of our progressive farmers
say they will make fifty bushels of
wheat to the acre. Those who har-
I rowed their wheat in the spring find
that it increased the yield 60per cent.
F. Form and others have been advo
cating this mode of culture for some
! years, but it has been hard to get
I farmers to believe it will do. Those
| who tried it this year are satisfied,
] and are ooavlnoed that the fly will
not trouble it.— Rome Courier, 31sf.
The Wheat Chop.—There continues
to be a tine prosi>eet for tho best
wheat crop we have had iu this sec
tion since the war. From all parts
of the county the reports, with a very
few exceptions, are of the most flat
tering character. The mostwubave
seen is simply splendid. If no mis
fortune happens, thirty bushels to
the acre ia expected by many of our
farmers. The “come out” of the
wheat within the past two or three
weeks has been astonishing, and the
general opinion is that the yield will
be as great as the land sown will
produce. This is certainly encour
aging.— Cartersville Express, Ist.
Wheat between Greenville und La-
Grange all looks well. While the
stand is not so good in many places
as usual, tho heads are large, heavy
and well filled. The finest wheat
field on the road is ttmt of Col. Glan
ton’s, two miles this side of La-
Grange. Oats on the road are a com
plete failure. Unless it rains soon
none of them will grow high enough
to cut. Cotton looks sickly and
small. Corn—well there is little to
be seen on the road, end if what we
witness in our ride to LaGrange is a
fair sample of tho acreage in coin
throughout the county, then, indeed,
corn will be scarce and high next
year. We are afraid somebody has
made a great mistake this year iu
pitching crops.—Meriwether Vind.,
Ist.
Cool Weather and Drought —The
unseasonably cool weather of the
early part of the present week, coup
led with the drought through which
we are now passing, has hud a ten
dency to retard the growth of all
kinds of vegetation .particularly gar
den truck. But the farmers huve ta
ken advantage of tho dry spell to
thoroughly clean their crops, which
are in admirable condition. When
the refreshing showers do came, the
crops will got the full bonefltof them.
We have not had a shower of rain iu
tliis section since the 4th of this
month, and the prospect fora show
er at this writing is anything but fa
vorable,—Fori Valleii Mirror, 31#?.
Itallru&H timinic at canton.
There was a large meeting at Can
ton on Tuesday in the interest of the
Marietta and North Georgia Rail
road. We are informed there was an
immense crowd of the people pres
ent. The object of the meeting was
to secure subscriptions to the build
ing of the road, aud the amount
needed to secure the opening of the
road to Canton was twenty thousand
dollars. Gov. Colquitt was present
and made a strong appeal to the peo
ple to come up to the help of the
road, but we learn subscriptions were
quite limited up to the time our in
formant left in the afternoon.
It will be remembered that the last
session of the Legislature granted
the company convict labor to do the
work. Tile road has already been
graded from Marietta to Canton, the
iron to lay tho track has been ar
ranged for rolling stock
ready to be put on the track as soon
as the iron is laid down. The twen
ty thousand dollars is needed to feed
the convicts while they lay down the
cross-ties and iron.
We hope our Cherokee county
friends will have the public spirit
and enterprise to push their road
through by fall.— Cartersville Ex
press, Is?.
The Northern Presbyterian Church
has for the first time, we believe,
taken a positive stand on the liquor
question, condemning it in toto.
whether drunk in moderation or ex
cess, or sold wholesale or retail. It
is question ,a large question to grap
ple, aud to go that far requires either
much nerve or total blindness. They
propose at least to avoid the dilemma
of a church In a neighboring town in
Tennessee. A young fellow of unex
ceptionable character, with a large
family to support, was turned out of
the church for doing a small retail
whiskey business in connection with
his other business. It happened that
the church had two wholesale grocers
who sold whiskey, one of whom was
a member of tiie session. The erring
brother at once advertised his busi
ness and called on all Christian peo
ple to patronize him, that he might
be able to rise to a wholesale whiskey
business and get back into the
church. He did a good business, too.
The Presbyterians are after the
wholesale aud retail men without
distinction.— Nashville American.

Mary Baker, of Brooklyn, who has
been a ballet-dancer, lias begun an
action in the Supreme Court, Brook
lyn, against Mary Jane Baker, of
Titusville. Pa., to recover an estate
of $260,000. In 18G2 the plaintiff’s
father, who was then poor, abandoned
his wife and two children. The wife
had to struggle hard to support her
self and them, and as the plaintiff
grew up she did what she could to aid
her mother. She was employed as a
ballet-dancer in Fisk’s Opera House,
under the management of Fisk, and
was one of the fifteen girls who were
severely injured by an accident there.
She was In the hospital for five years
inconsequence. A year age she dis
covered, she says, that her father had
amassed a fortune of $250,000 in Titus
ville, and had married a woman there
while his lawful wife was living. She
ascertained that her father was dead,
UDd that the woman known as his
wife had administered on his estate,
and now brings suit to set aside the
administration and to inherit.

Boston Transcript.]
A few evenings ago a strange affair oc
curred in Providence. A lady gave a parly
at which a young lady was particularly
noticeable. She was beautiful, magnifi
cently dressed and very happy, being just
engaged to marry a distinguished gentle
man front New York. She wore an an
tique bracelet, a present from her lover,
which the latter said was au heirloom of
his family, brought over from Holland.
A lady from New York who happened to
be present recognized it at once as the
bracelet of her aunt, which had been taken
from her in the lobby of a metropolitan
theater. She made a remark to that ef
fect; the whole party got excited and every
one witnessed the despair of the bride
groom. The latter was asked whether the
bracelet did enclose a picture. “Yes,” lie
said, “that of his sister,’’ was the answer.
“My aunts contained Miss Cary’s pict
ure.” Tiie bracelet was opened—there
was Miss Cary’s picture. The groom was
then not to lie found, and there was
much sympathy fj - the deceived lady.
