GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
London, June 6.— The Bath and
West of England Societies’ centenary
was celebrated at Bath to-day.
Widcombe suspension bridge fell.
About 100 persons were precipitated
thirty feet into the river Avon. Eight
dead bodies were recovered. It is
feared others perished. Many were
injured.
Another account represents the
disaster much more serious.
London, June 6.— Later from Bath
says twenty bodies have been recov
ered. Several are still missing
Nearly two hundred people were on
the bridge when it fell.
The bridge was wooden, of light,
construction, narrow, about 30 feet
long, and between 30 and 40 feet
above the river Avon ; resting upon
posts morticed into stone work at
either end, and without centre sup
port. The bridge snapped in the
centre. The two ends were wrenched
clean from the sides. The whole
mass, with the people, was plunged
into the middle of the stream, which
was about seven feet deep. Boats
from the shore were immediately at
work rescuing the living and search
ing for the dead.

of great heat the health of the Rus

The Czar takes command of the
army chiefly because Grand Duke
Nicholas and his cheit of staff, Gen.
Neporoitschif, frequently disagree.
After the Czar’s arrival a state oi

Washington, June 6.— Butler has
written a diffuse column to McVeigh,
denying certain assertions attributed
!to him by McVeigh. Butler says:
: "On the contrary, I was told that al
though the money was promised ns
a biibe for tile desertion the poor
fellows did not get it, but were re
quired further to vote for Spofford
as Senator before they could get,
even what was due them. Now I
do not know this fact, but hope aud
believe the Senato will ascertain it
on investiga iou in the contest for
the Senator’s seat.”
Extract: "I read in your loiter
: that you say Wharton did not man
age or transact any kind of business
for me. Certainly not. Bless your
soul! you do not call such tricks as
these business, do you? They are
not business, even if you should get
that foreign mission for doing them,
which I hope you will. You further
say Wharton was a friend of Packard.
All the better instrument, therefore,
to get Packard’s friends away from
him. It was well done, and does
credit to your training.”
Extract: “Every one bas his own
taste in choosing his way to acquire
money, but if T were obliged to
choose one of two ways—either to ap
propriate it as a military commander,
or to marry into a family where I was
neither wanted nor by which I should
be respected—to get money to spare,
I certainly should choose the former,
strange as you may thiuk it, because
at least I should have tlie money
after having committed a disreputa
ble act to get it, and not liable to be
disappointed as I might be after I
had waited long for dead men’s shoes
by the other method.”

OUR PRESENT CONSTITUTION.
The Uiilornl Voters—-Bu Ilork A Co.’*
Trick* l 1 pon Them.
Editors Times : Since Bullock’s
! friends Conley, Fatty Harris, Aker
| man and others arc now trying
again to use the colored voters for
j some rascally purpose, I have
thought I could not do a better tiling
than to show up the rascalities of
the said Bullock und Itis friends in
1868, while they wero fixing up our
: present Constitution.
While forming the present Consti
tution, Bullock expected to be Gov-
I ernor; and he not only fixed it up so
that ho could giv,* tiis lrit nd Conley
! SIO,OOO for a little j-B supposed to
be worth S7OO or SBOO, and could let
Harris hold two or three offices at
the same time and get good pay for
uli, and that he might liberally pro
vide for other friends—but. to give
himself power, ns he supposed, in
addition to tricking the whole people.
he concluded also to trick hi* colored
friends. And how?
Now. everybody knows that the
colored people ure the poorest class
of our population; that if they work
for other men, who won’t pay them,
theif claims are small—and if they
have to sue their debtors, they have
to go to the Justices’ Courts. On the
other hand, if they go in debt them
selves, the other party brings them
before the Justices’ Courts. Or, if
they are charged with any offense
against the law, by any white man or
other person, they first have to go
before a Justice’s Court. A Justice’s
Court, then, is the most important of
all our courts to the colored men.
It makes no difference with the
colored man, or the white man, how
the Justice of the Peace is appointed,
if he be a good arid just, man, like
our friend, Wm. F. Williams, the
present Notary Public and ex officio
Justice of the Peace, appointed by
Gov. Colquitt. But suppose the No
tary Public ben bad man; suppose
he be a corrupt man; suppose he
may not like the colored population,
and may not be disposed to do them
justice ; suppose he has favorites,
&c., in his district—then it becomes
important to all classes as to how to
get rid of him.
Previous to Ihe formation of our
present Constitution there were two
Justices of the Peace in each district,
who were etecte<l by the qualified
voters of the district every two years.
This gave ev-iry man, of every class
■ J citizuis, in each district a fair
chance to watch over and keep these
offi -ers straight, &•<. But there were
about 2.5U0 or 3,Out) of these Justiees
of the P. ace in the State, and Bu!
lock wanted power and influence wit li
the white people in the different
counties of the State, and he thought
the best way to get it was to have
one half of t hes*- Justices of the Peace
appointed by the Governor. So he
had the Constitution so fixed uptime
he might appoint 1.400 or 1,500 more
offleers than As
evidence that he (Bullock) eared
nothing for the cojored men, he ap
pointed none of them to this office
But in doing this thing he took from
his colored friends the main protec
tion they have against a mean Notary
Public and Justice of the Peace—
viz., the right to vote against such a
inau!
And now, if there be no Convention
called, and the present Constitution
is kept in power, t lie colored man will
never get back this right which Bullocjc
took from him. But, if a Convention
is called, one of the main tilings that
will be done will he to take this vast
power from tho Governor, and re
store it to the people again, and then
the colored man can keep in check, by
his votes, the bad or mean Notary
public or Justice of the Peace who
is not disposed to do him justice.
If there be no Convention, Gov-
Colquitt will indeed be very fortu.
nate, if out of 1.400 or 1,500 justices
appointed, he does not appoint some
bad men; but if he docs appoint
them, there is no getting rid of them
in four or five years, at soonest, and
those districts may not get rid of
them in ten, fifteen or twenty years;
whereas, if there be a Convention.
the people of each district, including
the colored voters, will elect a uew set
of justices, and they will have a
chance to put them out in two years
if they don’t behave themselves.
Again, I say, that, in my humble
judgment, t his justice* court matter
ts of more importance to the colored
people, thau all the btlaace of the
provisions of the Constitution put
together are beneficial io them, as a
class. So viewing the matter, I
would suggest to the friends of the
Convention to present this matter,
in its true light, to the colored vo
ters —show them how Bullock & Cos,
"used” them iu this case, iu 1868, for
his friend’s own purposes; and
show them what the law was, and
what it will be again, if wo have a
Convention. Open their eyes to this
matter, and I can but believe many
a vote cau be got from them for a
Convention; for they will be the
worst kind of fools, tf they can’t sec
how mu di they will be te-n-dbted by
the change that will be made, if a
Convention is called.

The Rev. Samuel Sheffield Snow

the end of the world, wuLeh he said
I was not far off. "Babylon is on

I times of the Gentiles were ended;

the piupiieoy, and before long the
people of God will come forth from
jibe dust aud stand resplendent as
■thesun in the ptvsemse of tho Al
niichiy.” In winking up to tins
j point, the speaker asked incidental
ly, but emphatically, whether tho
people of God were to be found wit h
lii tile pale of the Chmotl of Rome,
whereupon an elderly hearer replied
earnestly. Some of ’em air.” anti
walked out In tho midst of violent
reproof by t he preacher.
The Rev. John Davenport, who de
fined lilmSelf its “ah even go Ist serv
ing under apostles restored to the

Montgomery aud Mmriauu streets,
on. “Reasons for believing that tho
titr.OofiUi Lord’s personal return is

him was that, notwithstanding
Oil list had been born over eighteen
centuries, the world was siill fearful
ly wicked. Also, that scandal was
rife aud delighted in; also, that
money was prized mote than e.ver,
and wherever there was a trust there
was almost always a defalcation.
Another aigtt was the diso
bedience, of children to pa
rents, who could not control
them as formerly. This, the
speaker said, was owing to tile gen
etui spirit of disobedience abroad,
which neither obeyed nor had faith
In teachers or tillers, but assumed a
personal indeptudi tice. The sun,
moon and stars spoken of in Luke,
which were to giv© signs, meant the
leaders of men who Would feel the
approach of the second corning and
announce it; aud the Lord li.-.d cre
ated newspapers and telegraphs to
facilitate t heir announcements. The
seas and lain s spoken of in St. Luke
as roaring, doubtless indicated the
murmurs of the people, .whose voice
was loudly heard, arid would in the
end control all governments.
Tne Rev. YVilev Jones, of Norfolk,
Vu., spoke in National Hail, Wit
lbimsburg, ut, "The Kingdom of
God, so -n to be Literally and Visibly
Es'ablished on Earth.’’ Mr. Jones’
temaiks were extemporaneous, and

Tile pleasures of the table are not

heartily to the saying of the French

It is sometimes said that “plain
living and high thinking” should be
the motto of the scholar. Tlte plain
fact is, that of nil the laborers none
more imperiously need a nutriolous
diet than the toilers of tlte brain. If
there is any system of living which
t bey should hold in horror, it. is the
i bran-bread and pea-soup philosophy
inculcated by Graham, Aleott. & Cos.,
land practiced upon bv nervous peo
ple, valetudinarians and others who
i are eontlmiallv scheming how to spin
j out the sbread of a miserable exist
l enne, after uli their capacities of
pleasure and enjoyment have passed
! away. These profound philosophers
take special pains to show that, there
is nothing but disease lurking in
all t lie deioHeies of the ocean, earth

5 with; uli the piquant which lies
j temptingly on the well-spread table,

are, according to their view, impreg
nated with a subtle poison. One
produces flatulency, another acidity ;
beef is stimulating, ham is bilious,
pork is scrofulous, flsh is indigesti
ble, pastry is dyspeptic, tea Is ner
vous; and soon, from tlte simplest
article of diet, to the most compli
cated effort of gastronomic skill.
It is a little amusing that, while
these ascetic philosophers declaim
so vehemently against the good
tilings of this life, and predict an
early grave tor every man who makes
a hearty, careless, miscellaneous
j meal, they are generally perfect am-
I ate it rs in physic, aud swallow all

Li is true that the theories of the!

ed some countenance from a few dis
tinguished writers, particularly Dr.
Franklin and tho poet Shelley, who

Mattrasses.—T io Meridian Mercury
says there is a manufacturing estab
liahrnent out. in the pine woods near
t his city—we have not seen it —re

we look forward to a great industry
to be built up from this beginning iD
our pine forests.
