Jude Wiley Q. Parks, a prominent
citizen of Dawson, Ga., tiled on the

The United States Circuit Court at
Montgomery, on Friday overruled a
motion for anew trial in the case of the
A. & P. Telegraph Company.
The New York Tribune of Tuesday
says “peaches from Georgia are sold
In the fruit stores at twenty-live cts.
or one dollar to one dollar and a

Wdo not give the lutest crop re
ports of our exchanges to-day. Suf
fice it to say that they tell the same
tale as that of last week—general
complaint of rain. Wo hope that
next week’s reports will be different.
The Macon Telegraph suys that Mr-
John A. Nelson, of Bibb Calmly, has for
ty stands of Italian bees, from which he
took 1,000 pounds of extracted honey and
100 pounds of comb during May, and 500
pounds of honey and 100 pounds of fox
comb honey during the first week in June.
Mr. Hill, in his recent speech in
LaGrange, expressed the opinion, as
a lawyer, that the “present status of
property exempt by homestead law,
cannot be affected by tho conven
tion, because the convention would
have no power to divest u vested
right.”
A n'kuiio named Shaver, living on the
outskirts of Montgomery, Ala, was ar
rested the other day on a charge of caus
ing the death oi his wife. It is stated
that he had chained her to the floor, fast
ening the links around her neck, and that
the dislocated her neck in mad efforts to
free herself.
The apt-told story —a negro man on
the farm of Mr. Ed McLaren, of Dougher
ty county left two small children locked
in bis house while he went to ahurch one
day last week, and when he returned he
found his house on fire, and the children
were burnt with it.
A Washington special to the Cincin
nati Enquirer says that the filibustering
scheme against, Mexico is engineered by
land speculators, who have already
bought up large tracts in tne northern pat t
of Mexico, in the naiuing regions, and
want annexation to hurry their settle
ment.
The Augusta Chronicle learns that
u strong movement is on foot among
the Trustees of the University of
Georgia to replace at Athens, if pos
sible, Dr. Wm. Leroy Broun, now of
Vanderbilt University, Tenn. He
is recommended as Chairman of the
Faculty and Chancellor of the Uni
versity.
Thf. New York Bntletin, of the 6th,
gives detailed reports from Kansas,
Illinois, Michigan and Missouri of
the condition of tho crops, which it
summarizes by saying that tho
doubts that recently affected tho
prospects of corn and wheat have
disappeared; and the chances of a
splendid crop ol winter wheat aro
all that could bo wished for.
The Cincinnati Commercial aptly
replies to a correspondent who asks
whether it would favor the remon
ti/.ation of silver if a sudden discov
ery had reduced it to a dollar a ton.
“If the Sutro tunnel should strike a
mass of pure gold, of millions of
tons, to-morrow, would our corre
spondent demonetize gold and com
pel debtors to pay in some other
metal ?"
The Register, of Scale, Ala., says that
a house in that place lias sold 100,000
pounds of meat and about 10,000 bush
of meal and corn since the Ist of Janu
ary. As that firm did not, probably, sup
ply onc-fourth of the meat and corn
bought for that neighborhood, the figures
given suffice to show a great and ruinous
dependence on the West for these articles.
Vote fob the Convention! -Its
opponents are running very few can
didates in the State, and do not ex
pect to have any strength in tho
body when it meets; they are con
centrating ail their efforts for the de
feat of the call of the Convention,
and they may succeed unless the
people iu the counties which tho sen
timent is strong for tho Convention
turn out and vote. We know the
difficulty of getting the voters to go
to the polls when there is no active
personal contests, but we hope that
in this instance the importance of
the question is so great as to bring
out a full vote.
John D. Babcock and others, of
Readout, N. Y., have commenced
suit against the heirs of A. T. Stew
art et al. for $45,000. The plaintiffs
claim that in 18G8, on the strength of
A. T. Stewart & Co.’s representations
as to the business and solvency of
the Utica Steam Woolen Company,
they sold to that company a large
quantity of wool on a credit, upon
which transaction they lost $45,000
principal and inrerest, by reason of
nonpayment; and that A. T. Stewart
& Cos. not only knew at the time that
the Woolen Company was not doing
a paying business, but held a mort
gage upon its property.
The Irwinton Southerner learns
that splendid soap can be made by
boiling together shucks and lye. A
man in Putnam county makes all
his family soap in this wav, not using
one particle of grease. The shucks
are fed to the lye as long as it will
eat them, and the whole is saponified.
Col. Cams suggests that his readers
give this new plan of making soap a
trial.
niATAUEM.
Tho Atlanta Constitution, in reply
to an Inquiry where It got Its infor
mation that Capt. W. A. Little
“wants the public school system
abolished, and tho homestead ex
emption done away with,” says that
It got It from a communication In the
Columbus Twits.
The Constitution got no such infor
mation from the Times. A corres
pondent of this paper stated that
Capt. Little was In favor of "striking
from the Constitution ” the homestead
and public school clauses. Captalu
Little had previously made this an
nouncement through our paper, tuk
ing the ground that such things
ought to be provided for by statue,
not by the constitution. But he Is
in favor of publicschools and a home
stead created by act of tho Legisla
ture. Tho point mane against him
by our correspondent was that “the
homestead Is the most necessary
thing io engraft in the Constitution .”
Is it possible that the lawyer-editor
of the Constitution could have un
derstood a point so distinctly made?
-
VOTR Rlt CONVENTION.
Though it is required that every
ticket for delegates shall also con
tain a vote for or against the Conven
tion, it does not appear to bo also
required that a ticket for or against
the Convention shall contain the
names of person voted for as dele
gates. We mention this fact so that
any persons who do not wish to
participate In the scramble for dele
gates may simply vote for tho call
of the Convention, if they so desire.
Whether you vote for delegates or
not, vote for tho Convention. That
is tho most important question after
all.
a r \itii for the pijni.il:.
Editor Times: The issue of the
Enquirer of this date, June 9th, is
handed me as I am on the eve of
leaving for Marion and Chattahoo
chee counties.
I have neither time nor inclination
to enter into a personal controversy
with tho editor of the Enquirer, and
write hastily to ask that you will be
so good as to state that the “misquo
tation” which appeared in my card
of yesterday was a mistake of the
printers, and through no fault of
mine. As to any “garbled” state
ment being made by me, I scarcely
think the Enquirer will seriously ven
ture to make the charge. I entered
this canvass Tuesday of this week,
and the election takes place next
Tuesday. I do not propose to be
drawn from the main question before
the people by any side issues. The
time is too short.
I stand for the people, and call
upon them to sustain mo in this un
equal light, brought about by the
unauthorized assumption that it is
treason to harmony, to Democracy,
and to good faith, to act iu accord
ance with the Democrat ic Convention
which met on the 19th May.
While entertaiuing the highest re
spect for Messrs. Ingram, Peabody
and Little, I am frank to say that I
regard their position as a quasi, nom
ination by a few tor the mamj, and
as diametrically opposed to the wishes
of the people as enunciated in the
Convention of the 19th May.
Further—l regard the nomination
of three lawyers as unwise, and as
calculated to jeopardise the Conven
tion movement. This is an agricul
tural section, and why, I ask, should
this important element bo ignored?
My political viows, I believe, are
sufficiently well known for it to be
unnecessary for mo to make any
explanation or declaration on that
head. This is no party moasure. All
the people, irrespective of party, I
claim are interested in the holding
of the Convention, and I ask the
suffrages of all who can consistently
support me.
Respectfully,
Francis Fontaine.
June 9,1877.
[Note.— Tho ‘’misquotation” com
plained of was caused by the printer
stopping the quotation mark at the
wrong place. The words, “there was
no indignation,” should have been
tho commencement of Mr. Fontaine’s
comment, instead of the coneulding
sentence of the extract from the En
quirer. The error was of no impor
tance whatever.”]
THE CONVENTION RACE.
Editor Times: I did hopo that tho
use of my name, either by myself or
others, would not again be necessary
during tho canvass. It continues to
be used, however, for purposes not
legitimate and for interests to which
lam not a party. Tho Enquirer still
insists that the plan upou which tho
three gentlemen were selected has
produced no appreciable dissatisfac
tion. I don’t propose to wager opin
ion on that point further. lam out of
the race, for satisfactory reasons,
having combined with nobody and
in nobody’s particular interest.
Justice to the facta, however, re
quires me to say that the eighteen
very estimable gentlemen who de
cided as between the candidates
signing the agreement were never
characterized by me as the "Return
ing Board” or “High Joint Com
mission.” In explaining my posi
tion in Buena Vista, Saturday night
last, it was stated by me that these
names were applied by many of the
people, and was adduced as a fact to
show the dissatisfaction. Neither
did I then say that two of the can
didates were opposed to a home
stead and to a public school system,
but that two of them did not think
these systems should bo provided for
in the Constitution, but that the Leg
islature should regulate them. I
called no name, and some too partial
friend misunderstood me in tho re
port. It is to be hoped all candi
dates will make their own race,
without further use of my name.

THE PLANETS OF OUR SYSTEM
Ah AlTmed by Vlii-lr Veloeltle* and
AtmoHplierru.
[CONTINUED.]
Having placed before our readers
tho surface velocities of the four very
interesting forms of motion, and to
some extent the sizes of their solid
parts, we shall, in order to make our
explanations as clear 119 possible,
bring to view the orbital velocity,
or centrifugal force of a body celes
tial, first, as that of greatest power,
Introducing at tho same time the
axial rotation, or centripetal force
and in its bearing upon the first, at
right angles to it, alwuys obstruct
ing, or retarding its onward progress,
to the extent of the number of mo
tions, the size and velocity of the
body in question, &e. Thus, the or
bital motion of the Earth passes a
given point at the rate of 65,000 miles
an hour, which divested of all otiieJ
motions, would cause her to move at
a compound rate of 3 times 1,950,000
miles per hour, transferring its in
terior heat to its surface, and causing
combustion ns rapid as an entire
stoppage, and destroying the whole
of its siuface, spoutunicty of action.
As heat is limitless iu intensity, and
is the great motor of all bodies in
space, still the productive heat, power
of such bodies vary according to the
unity of their velocities, uud althougli
so important in their economies, and
extensive the supply of it, and unac
countably large, it has the appear
ance of wuste, to us, yet there is none
too much of one kind of any supply
for their purpose. The earths inden
tations filled with water, would an
swer but a secondary purpose, if
provided altogether for animal life
in the great deep, and tier elevated
land obstructions would furnish sim
ilar impoteucy of purpose, if used for
nothing else, but that of confining
such watery accumulation within cer
tain limits. And so of her interior
parts. Are the geological remains
of former ages simply there
on storage, and mineral strata
reserved for bandecraft only? If
not, then we must admit, their uses
liable to be called on for quite a
variety of work. If degrees of heat
by oombustion are governed in quan
tity and quality by the size and ve
locity of their sources, so an atmos
phere, the product of such heat, hav
ing depth in proportion, we ara not
justified in supposing, that tho mo
mentum of heat is the prime object
sought in theso differentiations? Sur
ely the intelligent laws of a planet
must compare favorably with our
own, and there can be nothing harsh
in the opinions, such as tho figures
laidd own presuppose for us, and the
chimical differences of action may be
reasonably iuferred iu any one of the
four systems. The solid parts of a
planetin regular motion might justly
be termed its physical, while its at
mospheric system, the brain or intel
lectual,development ; for we notice as
they progress in size and motion,
their atmospheres become deeper and
more momentous, their light more
self-sustaining, their dispensatory
powers more clearly defined; in fact
every increase in tho solid gives
greater aerial or intelligent activity.
And here we give the apparent depths
of air surrounding the solid parts of
four bodies in comparison : Extreme
limits of Moon’s depth of atmosphere
125 miles, of Earth 500, Jupiter 6,000.
Sun’s 60,000 miles—the sun somewhat
doubtful, as its great depth precludes
a knowledge of its surface velocity,
as well as the size of its solid parts.
The same may be said of Jupiter.
The great discrepancy of velocity and
of time between theso two bodies il
lustrates this error, Jupiter’s rotation
at 10 hours, and the Sun’s at 25 days,
making the Sun’s surface velocity of
its solid parts but 1,263 miles pet
hour only—a degree of velocity inca
pable of sustaining the motional
laws of celestial bodies of the
size of the Suns, and quite in
sufficient to keep the soiid parts to
gether as a whole in their gravitat
ing tendencies. As atmospheric and
solid systems of action must coexist,
the axial rotation of the Sun’s solid
parts must be rapid indeed, much
more so than any of his satelites,and
we shall therefore put it at 1 that of Ju
piter’s times,lo hours and proportion
al equatorial velocities, and shall as
sume the rash statement that his
velocital axial rotation passes agiven
point 879,100 miles per hour. Such
tho restraining energy and power of
his rotative apon his orbital motion.
If we allow the figures as set down
by recent authority, wo shall be
forced to admit velocity by inverse
ratios of motion. In tho case of ju
piter we see that the difference of
orbital has been overcome by the ax
ial velocity, until the figures are
about equal. Earth’s orbital is 60
times more rapid than her rotatial
motion. The Moon’s motions are
10 times in favor of tho orbital veloc
ity. These figures are instructive.
No globe of independent movements
in space, could generate heat, with
out a proper amount of cold, or,
speaking more to the point, such
bodies must possess. all degrees of
heat, and in some regions of Jupiter
and theSun.temperatezoues no doubt
exist in both, to their more cordial
forms of vital organizations, what
ever they may be, suited to their
solid aud atmospheric system. We
could not see frozen poles of 6
months duration, nor oceans of flu
ids : their extensive surface require
ments would use them iu advance;
all the phenoma of slow growth on
our earth could not exist on either of
them. In the atmosphere of the sun
is elaborated with the united efforts
of his solid parts, the matter that
supports his whole system of orbs,and
feeds their fauna and flora, gives
space to their movements,and matter
of fact to their organizations. This
is the brain or intellectual work, that
makes it necessary for bodies of va-
ried capacity to exist, parts and par
cels of himself, with slower velocities
and more retentive growth and sur
face action. As wo have already said,
his rapid motion, while it secures
more internal heat, exacts more cool
ing surface exteriors; and his won
derful depth of atmosphere makes
up, with great preclsloual nicety, all
the requirements of his great dispen
satory powers. We are not at liberty
to view such as the work of a great
fire, a great bluze for a short time,
and then a sudden disappearance.
No such economy of chance work
could exist where nil is intentiefn
and deslgn-tho providence of mil
lions of ages in the past. Thus his
work, agreeing in kind with the
wants of his planets, make him one
aud the same. The distance that sep
arates them is only as to the sum of
his power and influence. Some au
thorities on this point, suppose the
Sun to have no solid system of mat
ter; that his existence is confined to
one immense fire, of such force as to
burn without plan or Intelligence;
and if he makes light and heat suffi
cient for hits planets, be has done
enough. But such reflections on his
action are not becoming to the centre
of all that is momentous and vital in
nature. It will be seen that an at
mosphere could not exist without the
solid parts, neither could the solid
narts velocitate unless accompanied
by atmospheres. They are, from
their correlatives, inseparable—as
much so as the laws of solids and
fluids on our globe, each one pos
sessing equally attractive and repul
sive laws. If so, the Moon’s attrac
tion would be powerless on tho tides,
as now believed, but they (the tides)
might be due to tho excess of rotative
axial motion on the Earth’s orbital
motion.
In theorizing upon a subject of such
vast import as the actual velocities
of celestial bodies, that their surface
peculiarities may be brought to our
knowledge, and their hidden won
ders and varieties shown where no
speculum has yet intruded, a feeling
of want of association rises uppermost
in the mind, as impressed with the
distance of the points sought, and
the perits incident to it, we attempt
to rescue from the dark chambers of
nature’s obscured actions a ray of
light on a long journey like the orbit
of a planet. That our earth is in an
imperfect state of elaboration us
compared with that of Jupiter and
other larger globes, must be admit
ted, when their velocities are consid
ered, ns well as their results.
The Earth is a sheroid, but
a rough and uneven one, because
moulded by such varied velocities.
But why should the Earth's rotative
pass sixty times less rapidly that her
orbital velocity with her many mill
ion tons weight, to carry, while Jupi
ter, with his many million greater
tons weight, travels with his orbital
and rovtative motions, about equal ?
Are we to believe this a work without
intention, ending with waste of time
and material? or shall we infer from
effects of weight and celerity here,
that these are tho workings of such
forces as give character to all the
surface systems of all bodies in space?
We cannot suppose the earth’s sur
face to correspond with Jupiter’s,
any more nearly rhan tho Moon’s
with the Earth’s, much less the Sun’s
with either of the former three. But
we may suppose that the time of their
different velocities, with their gradu
ated sizes, gives rise to rare and
strange creations, almost beyond be
lief.
It will be seen and understood that
these four bodies under considera
tion—agree iu no particular what
ever, us to sizes, velocities, motions,
solid parts, atmospheres, lights,
weight, &o. Consequently, their
heat systems vary accordingly, and
so also their surface thenomena must
be as dissimilar. Their chemical
surface combinations flow from dif
ferent heat sources, each one enjoy
ing a special heat material of its own,
and having an amount of the sun’s
influence affected by its physical
parts, without reference to the dis
tance of its orbit from that luminary.
Unreasonable as it may appear to
us, there is no doubt but that all the
different planets, satelites and aste
roids of our system present ail these
variations. Why these should exist,
in such a shape, and in such num
bers, attests sufficiently the strong,
growing, productive power and in
crease of matter,as exhibited in these
centres of vital action; that they
have had a source from which they
derived their peculiar and varying
inheritances; that this source was in
changing states of progress at differ
ent epochs of its own existence, and
transmitted to them every varying
principle of growth and action, we
may admit, as one, and a leading
cause of such differentiations. Ad
missions like the above would estab
lish the seniority of the Sun over the
balance of his system, would give
precedence according to size, and
establish their constitution on a
basis of growth aud accumulation.
Tne inferences flowing from such ad
missions, would not permit the trans
migration of any terrestial growth,
of our Earth to that of any other
planet and survive; that even our
rivers, oceans, seas, lakes, glaciers,
mountain ranges, deep indentations
for holding water, with all their
living beings, in faet all that exists
on our globe’s surface, would be
swallowed up, they could not thrive
and live on any other body’s surface
than the earth’s.
It might reasonably be inferred
they could not on Jupiter’s terres
trial, aud hence the fact, though dif
fering at the present time, they are
all passing through the same varying
status of changing existences.

Col. Wilkins' Reply.
Editor Times In yesterday’s Issue
an urticle signed "Muscogee” calls
upon the Chairman of tne Democrat
ic Executive Comrqjttee to settle a
difference of opinion among the peo
ple as to the action of the Commis
sion of Arbitration selected by the
candidates, and to state which of the
contending sides is best carrying out
the wishes of the people as express
ed in the meeting of tho “Democrat
ic party on May 19th.” As to the
action of tho Arbitrators selected by
the six gentlemen who had announc
ed their names as candidates, the
Executive Committee have nothing to
do with, nor do I conceive it the du
ty of the Committee or its Chairman
to attempt to settle any difference of
opinion which may arise among the
people or candidates as to the wishes
of the people, as expressed in a con
vention of the people. I apprehend
that not one of the gentlemen now
before the people of this district as
candidates in Muscogee, after the ac
tion taken by that convention on the
19th ult., would claim to be the nom
inee of Muscogee. The object of the
commi99iou of eighteen gentlemen
(as expressly declared by the candi
dates who went into it) was not for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for Muscogee, but to settle between
six gentlemen as to which should run,
leaving the field open for as many
as ma> desire to enter the field, ex
cepting only the three left out who
agreed to abide the decision of the
arbitration.
I have no hesitancy in saying that
there has been no nomination in
Muscogee, either by the people or
the Democratic party, and no person
now named as a candidate can be
I viewed as in opposition to the Demo
cratic party.
