The statements and lists of losses
by the great fire are somewhat con
fused ; the names of several compa
nies being repeated in the columns of
the Galveston Jfews. This is ex
plained, no doubt, by tho manner of
reporting tho losses, viz: the differ
ent agepCies iu tho city. It is
usual for each agency to take
all the insurance obtainable, and then
divide by reinsurance with other
agencies, and in reporting losses the
News would oat orally duplicate
names and amounts. Thus Sorley’s
agency reports aggregate insurances

got from live and a half roils of surface as

thus worked over would not average
more than three feet in depth, and, with
the proper improvements, could have
been worked in one day. This is an av

TUB CONVENTION.
We cannot form any decided opin
ion as to the fate of the Convention
from the returns before us. We give
thorn below hi a tabular form, taking
most of the reports from t he Augusta
Chronicle. Very few counties tire
completely returned. In some cstl
raftp'S of the votes of the counties aro
given from a few precincts heard
from, but In most the figures given
represent the vote as far as received.
The fact that tho cities have all
been heard from-, that all except At
lanta gave Convention majorities,
and Ihut without the vote of the
cities the Convention would be be
hind, is rather utmuspielous for tho
success of the call. But on the other
hand tho votes of tho counties of
North Georgia heard from are for
the Convention, and that was the
region which its friends were most
upurohcQsivo übout.
Whether the Convention has been
called or defeated, tho fact is ap
parent that the vote is small-per
haps not half the full vote of the
State, It thu3 appears that the
friends of tho Convention risked a
great deal, and perhaps have lost all
by the policy which they have pur
sued throughout tho State generally
—that of making party nominations
and avoiding an active canvass and a
contest at the polls. An open
field and a “scrub race” would
not only have interested the
people in the personal contests in
volved, but would liave enabled the
speakers on the side of the Conven
tion to clear away to a great extent
the opposition founded upon preju
dice and ignorance that has undoubt
edly influenced a large portion of the
No Convention vote.

VI CSS Its. I.ITTI.F. A XII FOXTAIXE.
The race run by these two candi
dates for the Constitutional Conven
tion is very complimentary to them
and gratifying to their friends. Both
arc young men, seeking office for the
first time at tho hands of the people,
while tho other two candidates in
Muscogee wore “old stagers” in our
politics, extensively and favorably
known, and enjoying many business
and social relations that added to
thoir strength. Mr. Littlo ran under
the disadvantage of being the only
candidate lu the district whose name
was stricken or excludedJrom all the
printed “No Convention” tickets.
That party seemed to make a “dead
set” at him, and yet ho comes out of
the race handsomely leading the
field. He is a gentleman of ability
and eloquence, and will very credita
bly represent the district (if the Cen
vention has been called,) even in that
body of picked and distinguished
Georgians.
Mr. Fontaine ran under still
greater disadvantages. He is a
young man of very littlo acquain
tance wit h the people, except by his
writings—being a man of studious
habits and retiring disposition. He
at first declined to run, and only re
considered that resolution after the
candidates had, by arbitration or
"commission,” retired three of their
number from the field. Ho an
nounced himself six days before the
election, and ran distinctly upon the
issue of opposition to the arrange
ment by which the candidates set
aside the policy of the people of the •
county adopted at their meeting in
May. In addition to this, be had no
candidate associated with him to 1
hold his friends togetherand prevent
them from voting for one or two of
his opponents in the county as well
ns for himself. And yet, under all
those, disadvantages, he was barely
beaten in tho county. There can
be little doubt that with a ticket as
complete as that presented by the
arbitration, and with a few days
more time to make the acquaintance
of the peoplo and preparo for the
contest, he would have been up with
the highest, if not the highest candi
date in the field.
We allude to these facts only us an
act of fairness anil justice, not to ex
press the least dissatisfaction with
the choice made, for the gentlemen
elected will make a “strong team”
for Muscogee, and the interests of
the whole people will be safe in their
bauds.
“But I pass.” said a miuister in tho
West End, one Sunday, in dismissing
one theme of his subject to take up
another. "Then I make it spades!”
yelled a man from the gallery who
was dreaming tho happy hour's away
in an imaginary game of euchre. It,
is needless to say that he went out.
on the next deal, being assisted by
one of the deacons with a full haDd
of clubs.
FACIti OF THK BISECTION.
It is evident that tho most of the
“No Convention" men failed to vote
at uli for delegates. Jn this city the
vote for the Convention was greater
than the vote for the candidates—a
singular fact in our elections. At
Nance’s and other county precincts
where “No Convention” was in a
majority, It ia evident that tho can
didates only received tho Con
vention vote. These facts should
show the ■ absurdity of crim
inations and recriminations as
to who received the largest negro
vote, since they wero mostly “Con
vention” votes that they received, if
they were cast by. negroes. As far as
wo cun loarn, nearly or quite the
entire vote given to the candidates at
Bozeman’s were cast by white men,
while tho majority of the vote at
Upatoie was given by negroes. This
will aid in determining which of the
candidates received the largest col
ored, and which the largest white
vote, if the inquiry is at all impor
tant. In addition to this, we have
heard of but one colored Republican*
leader who took an active part at the
court-house on the day of tho elec
tion, ail’d the tickets used by him
contained the names of all tho can
didates except Capt. Little. Candi
dates who did not want negro votes
should havo made their wishes In
that respect known before the elec
tion. It Would have been a more
consistent course than finding fault
after the election with the casting of
a part of that vote for others.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Can Male Burnt* He Taxed?
From tho AuguaUCbrouicii-.l
A case of injunction was heard
yesterday before the Hon. E. H. Pot
tle, of the Northern Circuit, involv
ing the right to tux State bonds.
The Tax Receiver of tho county re -
quired atax return of allßiate bonds,
city bonds and town bonds, railroad
hoods, and all other kinds of bonds
whatsoever (except United .States
bonds and State bonds issued in 1873,
known as the Nutting bonds,) held
or owned either for t hemselves, or as
agent, or guardian, or administrator,
nr executor, or otherwise, on the
first day of April last.
The return was made pursuant to
this requirement by Frank M. Miller,
Esq,, individually, and as agent arul
attorney, under / rrulest , and i here
upon tie filed a bill to enjoin the
same, alleging illegality outlie fol
lowing grounds:
X. That it is in violat ion of the Con
stitution of the United Btat.es. Art
1, see. 10, par. 1.
2. That as to the bonds dated Feb
ruary 1, 1800, it is in violation of the
Constitution of Georgia, then of
force, dated May Ist, I7us.
3. That as to the bonds dated July
1, 1860, it is in violation of tho Consti
tution of Georgia of November 7,
1885, of force at t tie date of the bonds.
4. That as ti> the bonds dated Sep
tember 15,1*0, it is in violation of
the Constitution of Georgia, which
took effect July 23, 1808, and of force
at the date of the bonds.
5. That the bonds are all payable in
New York city, beyond the limits of
Georgia, and are therefore, as to their
validity, to bo determined by the
laws of the place of performance,
which laws authorize no deduction,
directly or indirectly, by taxation.
0. That the express promises of the
State to be performed beyond its lim
its cannot be violated by taxing them
before performance, when found in
the hands of a citizen of Georgia;
such act is not to do what is expressly
promised, and therefore violates the
promise given to the lender.
7. That the Legislature of tho State,
until the passage of the act of Febru
ary 19, 1873, which authorized the
issuing of lion-taxable bonds, never
had before it the question of taxing
its own bonds, nor legislated on the
subject except by act of December
18, 181-5 (Code, 2581), when it was de
clared that those in the hands of
trustees, executors aud administra
tors were not taxable, so that, when
ever it lias acted the bonds have beeu
declared exempt.
8. That the tax imposed is for the
ordinary expenses of administering
the State government, and that it is
contrary to the fundamental law of
governments that its obligations can
be taxed unless it bo for the public
defense or to suppress domestic in
surrection, and as to these it is ques
tionable.
9. That tlie bonds have never boon
declared taxable property by particu
lar statute, and that a strict construc
tion of all tax laws against the gov
ernment obtains, when the legality
of the tax is denied : as tho power to
tax its own bonds does not, exist un
less expressly reserved at the making
of the contract.
10. That the taxing of these bonds
in tho hands of citizens of Georgia
when they could not be taxed in the
hands of non-residents is legislation
directly against the interest of citi
zens of Georgia, and prohibits them
from making investments therein.
11. That taxing the bonds abovo
their par value is violation of the
Constitution of Georgia, that taxa
tion shall be ad valorem and uni
form ; in that other good obligations
are only taxed on their face value.
12. That if liable to Htate tax, the
bonds are not, taxable for county or
school purposes, because this right
tins not been expressly conferred,
which is necessary to be done; ntui
the right does not exist under the
mere general power to the country
and Board of Education to tax prop
erty.
13. That the county and Board of
Education cannot tax" what the State
does not or cannot tax.
14. That the imposition of tho tax
authorized by act of February 19,
1873, to meet the interest on bonds
authorized by said act in addition to
four-tenths of one per coat, in favor
of the State authorized by the act of
February, 1877, to provide for the
support of the government, for 1877,
is unconstitutional and void, both
under the United States and State
Constitution, in that it impairs the
validity of contracts of the State
made anterior to February 19, 1873,
and compel them to contribute to
intet the interest of new debts.

The postmaster at Corpus Christ!
Texas, has very properly decided that
the king snake, the deadliest reptile
in that region, is not legitimate mail
matter. The serpent was sent from
San Diego to Corpus Ohristi to be
mailed abroad, and had therefore
already traveled a considerable dis
tance in charge of the mail carriers.
Alligators are sometimes forwarded
through the Post Office, but when it
comes to handling venomous ser
pents, the best-natnred postmaster in
the world may hesitate.

Mr. H. 11. Long,of Loe county, has
an interesting article in the Albany
Advertiser, on the subject of bee cul
ture. He says it was and is still con
sidered a very uncertain business by
a great many, and always will be un
til the people learn to appreciate it
as it deserves. Since the introduc
tion of better hives, increased and
more intelligent, aitention has been
given the subject, and where properly
directed, attended always with fine
results. Mr. Long has, within the
last three or four years, observed it
in nearly every county in Southwest
Georgia. Ho lias been keeping bees
since 1870-*7l, and from the very first
has been guided by the instructions
of the best works on bee-keeping.
Under favorable circumstances, the
yield of honey and increase of bees
in .Southwest Georgia is almost in
credible. He commenced with one
colony of Lallan bees, and in four
years had increased to over sixty.
Ho has raised a great deal of honey,
having devoted his attention chiefly
to increasing his colonies; but last
year, by way of experiment, he de
voted one eolo iy to honey-making—
yielding be ween seventy and eighty
pounds of honey in tho comb. He
says ho believes that one hundred
pounds of tionev can be raised to
every good colony, if the apiaries are
not overstocked, or if the proper pas
turage is provided for them. His
bees usually commence laying about
the 15th of January, commence bring
ing in pollen the last of January, and
commence to swarm tho last of
March, and continue gathering honey
and pollen until October—affected
more or less by the seasons. Mr.
Long’s bees remain on their summer
stand all the winter, and can take
flight nearly every ten days during
tho winter. Disease is unknown
among them, and well-made im
proved iiives and strong colonies
have no fear of worms, if they are
supplied with queens.
HORRIBLE CRUELTY.
A >lan Compelled to Kcuialn Standing for
Five Itaya and Five Sight*.
John O’Shaughnessy was a convict
of about twemy-five year3 of age.
who bailed from Kiugsion. On the
27th of April, 1875, he was confined
in the “dark cell” for some trivul act
of insubordination, forced from him
by the exasperating Stedrnun, who
tantalized the fellow into makiug
offensive retort to the taunts of the
deputy. For this trifling offence
this unfortunate man was chained
up in a standing posture for five
days and live nights, his feet and
hands painfully shackled to rings in
trie wall, only to be relieved for short
intervals to enable hitn to partake of
the meagre allowance of bread and
water alotted to him three times in
each twenty-four hours. His toes had
been rendered powerless by frost be
fore his entrance into the prison, and
the result of this was that his torture
was rendered more intense, owing to
tlie fact that lie had, for the greater
part of the time, to support himself
by his wrists, us encircled in the
cruel rings oil the wull. Ail the
power was gone from his toes, and as
he had to stand on them in order to
relieve the torturing strain on his
wrists, it may be imagined what cru
cial anguish the poor victim endured
during these one hundred and twenty
hours of chafing night and day. A
more galling or fretting process of
racking torture, It is hardly possible
to imagine. Tho wrlthings of the
pitiful convict, as he vainly endeav
ored to mollify his anguish by shift
ing about as well as his mana
cles would permit, have been
described as heart-rending. Each
new change of position only
brought u keener agony, and
there was an indescribable depth of
suff ring exhibited in liis oft-repeat
ed expression, as the hours dragged
their slow length along: “Thank
God! there’s another hour gone.”
When finally he was released from
his torture, his wrists and ankles
were terribly swollen, and he was
wholly unable to walk. Had he not
been a man of splendid constitution,
he could not have survived so ex
hausting an ordeal. A more brutal
or inhuman device for inflicting ago
nyon tinman flesh and blood, it is
impossible to conceive. When an
appeal was made toStedman to put
a termination to the sufferings of this
man, and it was represented to him
that the convict was in danger of
dying from his extreme suffering,
the unrelenting, unfeeling official re
plied: “Let the die!”
.1 Word About the Hoys Leaving Ihe
I'ariu.
From tho Kansas Farmer.]
There has been much written
against the boys leaving the farm. A
largo portiou of these articles dwell
Yartieulariy upon the poetical side ot
farm life and tiie moral advantages
of the country over the city. This
kind of advice, while good enough in
itself and in the intention, fails to
have any particular influence, be
cause it does not state tho case fairly.
It is just as absurd to endeavor to
make a farmer out of every boy born
on the farm as it is to expect to grow
all kinds of trees from acorns. Farm
ing requires certain tastes, special fit
ness and adaptability to the business,
the same as trades and professions
do. Every man can not make a suc
cess us a farmer, au engineer, a
builder, a merchant or a lawyer.
Parents select callings for their
children frequently from their earn
est desire that they should do some
thing higher than they have done,
aud in nine cases out of ten a pro
fession is aimed at. That tlie child
would make a butter success as a
farmer or merchant or carpenter,
than he would as a lawyer, doctor or
minister, most frequently cuts no
figures in the settliug of the boy’s
occupation. The American colleges,
us well as American homes, are sen
ding few apprentices to the trades.
They are pushing the young men
regardless of fitness or lack
of adaptability or brains, in
to the professions, uud the
result is apparent in every town of
the country. Hundreds and thous
ands of young men are loafing round
the towns'idle, respectable vagrants
with a smattering of law or medicine,
or trying to beat their way along in
some easy semi-professional work.
Young men who would make their
mark as tradesmen or mechanics or
farmers have been taught at their
home, in tiie school, in society, and
everywhere, that the respectable
tiling to do is to seek some easy em
ployment where their immense
brains can do the work of their lazy
bands. Our towns, big and little,
are full of well-dressed loafers, who
| add nothing to the wealth or power
or dignity of the State—mere leeches
upon those who do work. Let
parents teach their children that
they should follow the business they
are best fitted to do; that a suc
cesfful farmer or mechanic is of
more value to himself and
the State t han gaining a precarious
livelihood at the tail end of some
profession. Because the young man
can recite an oration at the close of
school, or can write his name legibly,
is no reason why he should rush off
to the city to study law. Thousands
of young men who have assisted
creditably in the school-house de
bates have had their heads addled
with the idea that they were destined
j for aomething great. Let the boys
; who are about to leave the farm or
j their father's workshop for somo
i easier employment, stop and consid
er first what they are really best fit
ted to do, and then courageously take
hold of their chosen occupation, to
stand at the bead. Whatever may
have been the ambition of the youths
in the past generations of Americans,
the desire to escape manual labor has
become with us almost a national
trait.
