Thb New York Work! thinks In
wrong to refer to Mr. Hayes as the
"Centennial President.” It calls
him the Count-ln-nlal President.
Lyman Hall of Aroerlous, J. E.
Hollis of Newnan, and W. W. For
syth of Atlanta, recently selected
from their respective Congressional
Districts as West Point Cadets, have
gone north to stand their further ex
amination.
Speaker A. O. Bacon, the Atlanta
Constitution, and the Macon Tele
graph concur In tho opinion that no
ticket voted In the coming election,
having only the names of candidates
for delegates on It, can bo counted.
Each ttcket must, according to their
construction of the act, give also a
vote for or against the calling of the
Convention. Voters would do well
to bear this In mind.
The Republican Legislature of
New York has refused to redistrict
the Slate Into Senatorial and Repre
sentative districts, beoause it was
found that the increase of population
was ohlefly In New York city, Brook
lyn and other Democratic strong
holds, and that the Democrats would
gain quite a number of members by
making representation conform to
population.
On Tuesday, Central Railroad stock
sold In Savannah at $46 per share,
and Southwestern at SBO. Real es
tate sold at prices astonishingly low.
The United States Marshal sold a
number of lots together, in the
counties of CofTee, Colquitt, Worth,
Wilcox, Erwin, Berrien and Clinch,
for $115; anothor lot of tracts in Col
quitt, Erwin, Worth and Lumpkin,
for $200; and 1800 acres known as
the James Robson tract, for sllO.
The Cinoinndt! Enquirer, which we
cstoem ns the most Interesting paper
of the North-west, has added anew
feature, which makes it still more at
tractive. It gives daily special dis
patobes from New York, containing
tho cable news of the New York
Herald and other interesting matter.
By this arrangement we get such
nows in advance of the arrival of the
New York papers.
We learn from the Messenger that
Mrs. Annie T. Auerbach, wife of Mr.
T. 11. Auerbach, of Troy, has re
ceived from the Centennial Commis
sion a most, elegant bronze medal,
the value of which is $l5O, together
with the certificate of award, which
was issued to her as a premium for
“Novelty in Design and Excellent
Workmanship” exhibited by hor
above all others, in executing a bed
spread of satin and silk crotchet
work.
It is worthy of note that the re
publican Governor of Illinois, in ve
toing the bill making silver coin a
legal tender in that State, gave as a
reason that Congresss at un early
day would certainly restore the sil
ver dollar to its standard of 1837 as
the unit of coin values, and that
this was a matter for Congress, and
not for a State Legislature, to regu
lute. This, tak.m in connection with
other reports, indicates the intention
by a large portion of tho Republican
party to aid in the re-monetization of
the silver dollar
——— ♦
A Washington dispatch of the 3d
inst. says that the President will re
move two of Spencer’s pets holding
important offices in Alabama. Ex-
Gov. W. H. Smith, the first Republi
can Governor of the State after the
military provisional government, is
to replace District Attorney Morgan,
and Samuel G. Reed Is to succeed
United States Marshal Tunper. Both
changes are in the interest of the
new party. It is also said that John
H. Knox, of Montgomery, an anti-
Spenoerite, will take the place of
Myers as Consul at Hamilton, Cana
da. Myers Is a carpet-bagger from
Maine. Knox is a native Alabamian.
The New York Times, hearing
that President Hayes would favor
Congressional aid to the building of
a Southern Pacific Railroad, opposes
the proposition, and says that it
would necessitate the giving of simi
lar aid to the Northern Pacific Rail
road. We, too, are opposed to the
aid asked for Tom Scott’s so-called
Southern Pacific Railroad, but not
for the reason'given by tho Times,
nor do we believe that there is any
force in that reason. The Northern
Pacific Railroad is not only useless
and probably impracticable, but
Cougress has already greatly aided
one Northern Pacific Railroad, and
the North already has the equiva
lent for any Southern road which
Congress might aid.
Gov. Hautranft, of Penn., in an
swer to tho anonymous query ad
dressed to Barnum, whether the
restorers of Charley Ross would be
promised immunity from legal prose
cution* says that he has no authority
to give such an assurance. Notioing
the Governor’s reply, the Philadel
phia Times says: “On Wednesday
morning a gentlemen who, since the
abduction of Charley Ross, has inter
ested himself io his recovery, aRd
who is one of the three or four per
sons acquainted with the ins and
outs of the latest clue, left this city
for the locality near which the boy
is supposed to be biding, and since
that time nothing has beea heard of
his whereabouts. His family and
his colleagues in tho bunt are some
what alarmed about his safety, as
heretofore, when away, ho has daily
communicated with his friends in
this city.”
THK ARBITRATION iSO-UA 1.1. UH.)
Editor Times: In the Enquirer of
Wednesday morning, over the signa
ture of “Democrat," appeared an ar
ticle defending the course of the six
gentlemen who submitted as the wri
ter pleases to say, their case to "ar
bitration.” In tho article appears
this language; "A howl has been
raised by a few malcontents who
charge "snap judgment,” “combina
tion,” &0., against the six gentlemen
"who went into the arbitration.” A
few malcontents — well, that’s cool.
The writer, "Democrat,” must have
been the juror who told the Judge in
a case where the jury oouldnot agree,
that a verdict was prevented from
the insurmountable stubbornness of
the eleven jurors associated with him.
The “few malcontents,” who are
“howling” over it, are simply about
nine-tenths of the people—white peo
ple of Columbus and Muscogee coun
ty; and if “Democrat” will poll
Broad street, up one side and down
tho other, and sample the vote, he
cun be wiser than he now is.
Again he says ; "the action of the
six candidates was wise and patriot
ic, and was in the interest of peace
and harmony, and is deserving the
praise of all patriotic citizens,
and we feel assured is receiving the
praise of all such.” That’s cool also,
Mr. Editor. "Democrat” is a living,
moving example of the truth of Dar
win’s progressive theory. It’s cool,
cooler. Will not.’’Democrat” write
again that one may experience the
Nova Zemblan temperature of his
coolest ? “Receiving the praise of all
patriotic citizens”—in the converse,
alt not praising are unpatriotic. Well,
It’s a pity, a downright pity! You
know, Mr. Editor, it was said of
Nancy Hart, in revolutionary times,
that she was a "honey of a patriot;
but a devil of a wife.” May it not be
said of “Democrat” that is a hoiteg
of a patriot, and a devil of a sharp
fellow—he sees a pint so clearly, and
puts it before the public so correctly
and impartially 1
One of the Unpatriotic.
Tuk Loudon Standard's Vienna cor
respondent reports Grand Duke Nicholas
as saying to a foreign consul that “neith
er Prince Bismark nor Lord Derby will
prevent us from entering Constantino
ple as the Germans entered Paris, only
to leave it again.”
The agricultural editor of tho At
lanta Constitution is informed that
wheat along the Etowah river is the
best since the war, and that in Bar
tow county the wheat on good lands
is better than it has been for twenty
years, but on poor lands nearly a
failure.
♦ •
A Xpw ]leiubllium Platform.
New York Hun.J
We learn that various prominent
leaders of the Republican party in
Ohio have been engaged in the pre
paration of anew platform, by means
of which they hope to rescue their
party and themselves from the over
flowing scourge which now threatens
them with destruction. We have
procured a copy of this project, from
which so great a miracle is hoped,
and here it is:
PLATFOHM OF PRINCIPLES.
1. Favoring an amendment to the
National Constitution forbidding ap
propriations of public money, pro
perty, or credit, for the benefit of uuy
institution uuder sectarian control.
2. Taxation of all property, except
ing public property und cemeteries.
3. All church property to be held
by trustees composed of members of
the congregation, society or institu
tion using the property.
4. Compulsory education. Favor
ing a law requiring all children to be
educated, either in private or public
schools.
5. Favoring an amendment to tho
National Constitution requiring all
new voters, after the adoption of tho
amendment, to bo able to read and
write in English before exercising
the elective franchise.
(>. An effective registration law, for
tho purpose of preserving tho purity
of the ballot box.
7. The passage of a law to prevent
threats or intimidation of uny kind,
ecclesiastical or otherwise, for the
purpose of influencing parents or
guardians against sending their chil
dren to the public schools.
8. The passage of a law to prevent
threats or intimidation of any kind,
ecclesistieal or otherwise, for the
purpose of influencing tho voter in
exercising his right of elective fran
chise.
We regret to remark that there is
nothing in all this that is new; every
one of these propositions wo have
heard of before; and most of them,
we are sorry to say, as they are stated
here, have a dogmatic color and an
ecclesiastical squint that are exceed
ingly objectionable in things politi
cal.
The most remarkable points in
this programme are, first, the ab
sence of that proposition to inflate
tho ourrency and make the silver
coin of the United States a legal
tender, which is now so greatly in
favor with the Ohio Republicans,
and especially with Mr. Hayes; and
secondly, the manifestation of a de
sire to disfranchise the negroes of
the South by a constitutional amend
ment making reading and wriliug a
universal qualification of voters.
A Ludicrous Mistake.
Among olher liulicrious mistakes that
have happened to Congressmen in Wash
ington the correspondent of the Boston
Journal relates the following: “Th lit
tle suites of rooms at the National Hotel
open upon little halls, uniform in appear
ance, connected by long corridors, and are
all furnished alike. One night Senator
Mangum of North Carolina, then Presi
dent pro tempore of the Senate, a digni
fied gentleman of the old school, had just
returned from a party, when Gov. Up
ham, a Senator from a Vermont, came in
without any ceremony and took a seat.
The two chatted away on polities, the
weather, the social amusements, &0., until
the clock on the mantel struck one.
'Ueally, Gov. Upham,’ said Mangum, T
am always pleased to see you; but I really
believe it is getting very late.’ ‘I have
thought so for some time,’ replied Up
ham, but lie made no movement. Provi
dentially the half hour sounded, and
Mangum remarked: ‘I thought, Gov. Up
ham, that you had decided to go to bed,
Sir?' ‘So I had, Mr. President,’ nnswered
the Vermonter, yet he did not budge,
Mangum stared at him in amazement,
and at last plainly said: “But why don’t
you go to your room. Gov. Upham? It
Will soon be two o’clock?” ‘My room,
Mr. President! why, this is mv room, and
I have been waiting for you to go away
for two hours past.’ Mangum sprang to
to his feet, looking into the sleeping room
adjacent, aud found that he was in Up
ham’s room instead of his own. Mr. Web
ster used to enjoy joking him about his
visit toVermont.
To the Voters of Marion Connty,
Homo Interested parties having given
currency to the Impression that they are
the mmilneoH of Musoogeo county lor the
Convention, this is to say that no nomina
tion has been made in Muscogee. Several
candidates went into an agreement which
over-rode the will of the people, and at
tempted to dictate a ticket against the
choice or the people, and tho people there,
both in city and county, repudiate it.
Now that It Is found In be so unpopular a
movement, the men who were counted in
by it acknowledge that It is not binding on
the Senatorial District. I proposed to
them to let the people decide between us,
and they refused. lam a candidate, and
cull upon tho people of Marion to sustain
me, as Musuogoeoertalnly will. Mr. J. D.
Wilson, tho uomlnoeof Marlon, and who
ever Is the nominee for Ghstlanoochee,
will be supported by all my friends In
Muscogee, and I will not lssuo a ttcket
except such as have their names printed
prominently upon them.
Very Respectfully,
JosKIMI F. FOU.
HTAKTLI.VU H L’MOKN FROM THE
HEAT OF WAR.
A"" ■■
Only Oii Nun Loft to Tell tho Title.
Atr. Editor:— Dear Sir—The Hon. Jo
seph F. Fou addressed me citizens of Ma
rlon on the 2d Inst., in regard to the “so
called 1 ’ nomination ot Muscogee couuty.
Hu gave, to use his own language, the
“true Inwardness" or history in detail of
the “Grand High Commission,” ns he
termed it, that proposed the names of the
thiee gentlemen I rum Muecogee county
as their choice to represent the county
and the district In the proposed Conven
tion. Col Pou said, that, at a meeting of
the citizens of Muscogee, held in conven
tion on the 19th of May, it was decided
that Muscogee would not nominate, but
would support the candidates nominated
by Marion and Chattahoochee.
That subsequently, a proposition was
submitted to him, to leave the matter as
to who should run from Muscogee to
three friends, to bo selected by each can
didate iu the Held; which proposition he
would not accept, but proposed in lieu
thereof, to leave the nomination to a vote
of the citizens of the county on the
Wednesday following, polls to be open
trom Bto 6 o’clock. His proposition was
not accepted by the other candidates.
Ho read an editorial from the Columbus
Enquirer justifying him In running, as he
did not assent to tho “High Commission"
deciding the matter. Ho stated that two
of the three gentlemen whose names were
presented by “The Commission" opposed
the law allowing a homestead, and also
the Public School Law. If they denied
tho fact, he would produce tho authority
over their own signatures. The names
of tho gentlemen were not glvon to the
audience, but, for the benelltof our voters,
I will state that Col. Ingram and Capt.
Little are the men. For further infor
mation see Pou, who will explain at
length.
Col. Pou referred to other things in his
speech. Read his address to the voters of
the district from a Columbus paper, and
modestly asked that the citizens of
Marlon vote for the delegates from
Marion and Chattahoochee, and sandwich
his name on their tickets, on the Pith Inst.
Mr. Editor, if these things bo true ought
we not to vote for Col. Pou?
Observer.
The above is taken from the Buena
Vista Argus. It explains fully Judge
Pou’B opinion and mine of the action
of the candidates in what he calls
the “Grand High Commission.”
In alluding to his declination, the
Enquirer of yesterday says:
“ The united card of Messrs. Ingram,
Peabody and Little appears in this paper.
Tbelr statement is cluar und conclusive
They demonstrate very plainly that the,
motives which have actuated them are
those of patriotism and love of justice "
“Col. A. H. Chappell was requested to
become a candidate through the public
print by a numbm of gentlemen, hut we
loarn he has positively rel used. W’e have
it from Judge Pou, that on Tuesday Mr Pea
body told Got- Chappell if he desired to run
not to announce himself separately, but to go
on the, ticket with Messrs. Ingram and Little,
and he (Peabody) would cheerfully withdraw
in his favor. Much an action as this, all
can understand, as it was most generous
and appreciative'of the abilities of Col.
Chappell by Mr. Peabody. ISucli unself
ishness all can approve.”
“Mr. Fontaine is still in the field.”
And the following is an extract
from the card of Messrs. Little, In
gram and Peabody:
We felt the force of these appeals and
these remarks, and were very unwilling
to continue a personal contest with oui
friends—-all but one members of our pro
fession, anu all our personal, intimate
friends—and we came to tho conclusion
that it was due to public sentiment, due
to the people of tho other counties, and
due to ourselves, that there should be no
strife In this matter. How, then, to ac
complish the desired result of reducing
the number of candidates? was the ques
tion. All could not be elected. Four out
of tho seven must be retired by some pio
cess.
And from an editorial in the En
quirer of same date, I extruct as
follows:
“RADICAL TACTICS.
The Radicals ure employing rather du
blouc tactics to defeat the Convention.
Thus we have authoritative intormutiou
that from the postofllce propositions were
made on Tuesday that Mr. Peabody and
Judge Ingram allow their names to be
used with Mr. Francis Fontaine in lieu ol
that of Capt. \V. A. Little on an anti-con
vention ticket to be used iu Marlon and
Chattahoochee counties. They intlignant
ly refused. They advocated Convention
and their fortunes are linked with Capt
L.
It will do to watch this canvass closely
at every voting place. Tho united card of
Messrs. Ingram, Peabody and Little
speaks for itself. Friends of tho Conven
tion must not be misled by such subterfu
ges. There was no “indignation.’’
lam as strongly in favor of the
Convention as auy of the candidates.
Now I have this to say:
No subsequent action or combina
tion will mislead the people as to the
intention of the Democratic Conven
tion on tho 19th of May. The first
and most promineut idea advanced
there and then was that as many
candidates should be induced to run
as possible, in ordor to bring out as
large a vote for the Convention as pos
sible. The very last thing desired
and most opposed to the expressed
will of the people in that Convention
was that the candidates should be
narrowed down to three men who
could combine with the nominees of
the party in Marion and Chattahoo
chee counties.
Col. Ingram’s resolution, which ex
pressed the will of the Convention,
fully provided for having only three
delegates from Muscogee, and as fully
provided for having one delegate
each from Marion aud Chattahoochee
counties.
Whatever may be the result of this
contest, the people will hardly forget
that they (the people) decided that it
was best to have as many candidates
as possible.
A few words more, and I am done:
I declined to make the race, and
sincerely declined. It was only upon
the urgent solicitation of leading
citizens that I felt authorized
to become a candidate. I have
never asked for a vote for any
office in the gift of the people before.
I have not made ’any pledges
to any one, and have entered into
no combination. Every ticket that 1
shall order printed shall have on it the
names of the nominees of Marion and
Chattahoochee counties. Meanwhile,
since this is not a party measure, as
the speakers declared in tho con
vention ot the Democratic party, I
will permit any one to have printed
as many tickets as he desires, pro
vided the name of some of the Demo
cratic candidates,and only Democrat
ic tickets, already announced is
also on the ticket. I am not. bound
by pledges of honor to support or tlo
to any associate candidate. I pro
pose to run strictly upon the line
pointed out by the Democratic Con
vention, and shall be übove-board
and honest throughout tho canvass,
and certainly desire to avoid all per
sonal controversy with my oppo
nents, for whom I have the highest
esteem.
Respectfully, &c.,
Francis Fontaine.
The convention of the district com
posed of Morgan, Jasper and Put
nam counties (Morgan being unrep
resented) nominated T. O. Lawson
and R. B. Nisbet for Putnam, John
Key for Jasper, and notified the peo
ple of Morgan that Hon. Augustus
Reese and Hon. Joshua Hill would
bo supported ns delegates for that
county If they made nb other nomi

EXPERIMENTAL lIOUSEWIFERY THAT
NEARLY WRECKED A HAPPY MAIt-
RIAOE.
Young Charley Overblower mar
ried about a month ago, und when
he came back from his wedding tour
he and his pretty little wife, Emma,
took possession of a charming Hat
up town. Early one evening, after
they were fairly settled, and the last
of Emma’s sisters had been induced
to conclude her visit, Cnarley pro
posed to Emma that they should go
to the theatre. The little woman as
sented, and both began to amend
their toilets. In a few moments
Charley said; “Darling, I am sorry
to trouble you; but really I think I
shall be obliged to have to ask you to
sew a bottom on this shirt.”
"Of course; why not?” said Emma
delighted at u chance to show her
skill. She took the garment, seated
herself, and said : "I can’t remember
for the life of me where I put those
buttous. Cuarley, look in tnat box
und see if you can Und cue.”
Charley looked in the box, which
was a ease of perfume bottles, and
not finding the desired article, con
cludeu be would not bother E.iima
for further information, so ho pulled
a button from another shirt.
“Now, Charley,” said Emma,
“look in the top bureau drawer ano
get me a paper of needles and aspool
of white cotton—be sure to get the
white cotton.”
Charley found in the top bureau
drawer a copy of Tennyson—he re
membered it well, and picked it up
and looked at the marginal marks
and comments, dear affectionate
little girl that she was!—und more
perfume bottles, and a pattern of a
FlordeFumar overskirt and the be
ginning of a sofa-cushion, and vari
ous other things, but no needle or
cotton. Then ho remembered that
he had a fancy “housewife” that he
had bought from a girl at a fair, and
he got. needles and cotton out of
that.
"Thank you, dear,” said Emma,
and she began to stitch vigorously,
humming a dreamy Italian uir.
Presently she said: “Oh, Charley,
won’t you bring me the scissors? I
think they’re iu my writing-desk. I
hud them there to-day cutting a
poem out of a paper.”
The scissors were not in the writing
desk, nor on the tnuntel, nor in the
top bureau drawer, nor in the case of
perfume bottles, nor eveu iu the hair
receiver; so Charley drew on his
"housewife” uguin. Emma took the
scissors, snipped tho thread, aud ex
claimed, “There, darling! and now
make haste, or we shall be late.”
Charley wriggled into the garment,
anathen put up Ids hands io button
the band at the back, hut no button
was there.
“Why, Em!” he cried, where in
thunder did you sew on that but
ton ?”
“Oh, Charley, alnt you ashamed!”
exclaimed his wife. “ W here are your
eyes?”
"If they were in the back of my
head,” answered Charley, “perhaps
I could see that button.”
Emma raised herself on her tiptoes
and looked at the baud.
“Whv, that’s strange!” said she.
“Take it off and let me look at it.”
The shirt was inspected thorough
ly, and the button was found neatly
and deftly sewed ou just beneath the
tag of the shirt-bosom, so as to but
ton to that appendage in a most ele
gant manner.
“Well, by Jove.” exclaimed Char
ley,” if 1 didn’t know any more
about sewing on a button than that,
I wouldn’t get mar I would learu
how.”
“You were going to say you
wouldn’t have got married,’’ cried
his wife, putting au her hat hastily
aud bursting into tears.
“Where are you going?” demanded
Charley savagely.
“I’m goiug home, and I’ll have a
separation from you and your old
shirts ; that’s where I’m goiug, ’’blub
bered Emma. “I thought you want
ed the button there to fasten to your
what-you oall-’ems.”
It took Charley an hour to persuade
Emma that if she went home there
would be no strawberries)and that she
could get all she wanted at Delmon
ioo’s, and he’d pay for it.

Thre Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia has decided in favor of tho Con
necticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany in a controversy with the heirs
of Henry Boileau. He was a resident
of a little town on the river, above
Philadelphia, and had kept up his
premiums on a policy of $5,000 for
severaly ears. One day he called at
the office of the Company iii Phila
delphia, made application for an ad
ditional $5,000 insurance, passed no
examination, and was insured. Early
the next morning he took a rope,
tied up about 40 pounds of stone put
the other end around his neck, and
carried the burden to a little stream.
The water was about two feet deep;
Boileau walked out into the stream,
lay down, and placed the stone on
his breast. The insurance company
resisted payment of the SIO,OOO. Suit
was brought by the administrators,
and they obtained a verdict in the
lower court.
