The Hawklnsvllle Dispatch of
Thursday reports still another ad
vance Id wool, which It now quotes
at 28j@29c. per pound.
It Is said that the United States Dis
trict Attorney of Utah has In Ills pos
possession us published portions of Lee’s
confession which implicate Brigham
Young and other high members of the Mor"
mon Church in direct complicity with the
Mountain Meadow massacre.
A New Enolandeh writes home from
the Black Hills there are as many wise
men going out every day as there are fools
coming in.
If a fool can be made J wise man as
quickly and cheaply as that, it is the best
school in existence. But we fear that
there are some bard cases with whom the
tuition would be ineffectual.
A Washington dispatch of the 13th
states that nearly ail the papers
which have hitherto advertised for
the War Department have deelioed
to publish advertisements at the
rates fixed by the decision of Attor
ney General Taft, 40 cents per folio
of 100 words for the first insertion
and 20 cents per folio for each subse
quent Insertion.
One of the Grangers stated yester
day that he had shipped hundreds
of bales of cotton to both Co
lumbus and Montgomery, and that
he had ascertained that almost inva
riably the weights held out better in
Columbus than In Montgomery.
This Is a fact worthy of considera
tion by planters who have choice of
a markets.
The Vote So Fah.—Wo think it un
necessary to continue our table to
day. There is no longer any doubt
that the Convention has been called.
The Atlanta Constitution of yester
day has a table showing that elghty
two oountles give, upon partial re
turns, majorities “for Convention,”
13,998; “noConvention,” 8,121, or a
net majority for the Convention of
5,877 votes.
General Garfield is now, says
the Boston Post, very much in the
position of Mr. Blaine. He must
publish the original letter, or fail of
securing belief for his too sweeping
denial. Mr. Blaine preferred to take
the chance of bullying the public in
to an acceptance of his interpreta
tion. Gen. Garfield cannot afford to
do this. Either Mr. Hayes did or did
not interfere to influence the choice
of Senator from Ohio, and offer Gar
field an inducement to withdraw
from the oontest. The general im
pression is that he did; and also that
Garfield is now sorry that he allowed
himself to be induced.
According to the report of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, a Senator present
at the Hendricks’ banquet in New
York said, while looking at Governor
Tilden: “I went to him pending the
passage of the Electoral Commission
Bill, and said : ‘Mr. Tilden, the Re
publicans are so timid that their
only hope of counting you out is by
passing this bill. If you let them
pass It you transfer your case to their
tribunal. For Heaven’s sake speak
out and prevent Its passage, as the
whole party is deferring to you.’
Mr. Tilden,” the Senator added,
“only asked if there was anything iu
1 hat bill which either political party
could not endorse.”
Senator McPherson, of New Jer
sey, is reported by G, A. Townsend
as saying at the Hendricks banquet,
that the next President would come
from the West, and he thought Hen
dricks would be the man. G. A. T.
continues: Through all the audience
I did not fl ad nor hear of one man
who favored Mr. Tilden’s renomina
tion to be President, and
no one expressed any further de
sire to see him installed now. Mc-
Pherson, who is a rich abbattoir
butcher, told me that be was to join
Hendricks In London in July, with
Chancellor Runyon. He said that
among private people there might
exist some sympathy for Tilden’s dis
appointment and adherence to his
fortunes, but not among Democratic
politicians. They had not only al
lewed him to direct the National
campaign, but he had specified his
wishes in several of the States, even
so far as to indicate who should be
nominated Governors and Senators.
No other influence but Tilden could
have made the Massachusetts De
mocracy put up Charles Franois
Adams, to be surely defeated.
The hard-times business of trump
ing up heirships to large estates
thrives apace. The latest claimants
are the relatives of Elizabeth Shep
herd, an English girl, who late in the
last century made a runaway match
with a poor cousin to America. Her
brother in England died in 1810, leav
ing a cool $5,000,000 in the Bank of
England to his Bister. She, however,
never learned of the fact, and now,
after all these years,thedescendants,
living in Brooklyn and elsewhere, are
dwelling on the pleasing possibilities
of coming into this long-deferred
inheritance.
New Iron Miking Enterprise. — l The
Roane Iron Company, of Chattanooga,
recently purchased two hundred and for
ty acres of mining land, a mile beyond
the Etowah Railroad bridge, and three
miles from town, and have gone to work
to develop it. It turns out well and is
pronounced the best ore for producing
steel yet known in the three States of
Georgia .Alabama and Tennessee. About
ten hands are at present employed, but
the number will be increased as the
progress of the work will demand.—

The price of sewing machines is coin

wfll soon be smoking 10-cent cigars.—
Oil City Call.
CONVENTION CARRIED.
Our latest election reports leave no
doubt of tho call of the Constitutional
Convention by the vote of the people.
The list of nominated delegates,
which we published yesterday, shows
that theConventlon will be composed
in tho main of men of State reputa
tion. and will have in it many of the
ablest and most reliable men of the
State. With its composition no fault
can be found. But we should not yet
deceive ourselves with the delusion
that its labors will necessarily be
light, and that it will easily
make such a Constitution as
will be acceptable to the people of
the State generally. The Conven
tion will have several very knotty
and intricate subjects to deal with,
and it will contain some few men
who have not generally been found
agreeable unless they could have
things in their own way. There is
the Homestead question, which we
apprehend will prove a perplexing
one. Very few of the candidates for
tho Convention, so far as our obser
vation extends, have distinctly de
clared whether they were for ma
king the homestead alienable or
inalienable, and there is quite a di
versity as to its properamount. The
question of locating tho seat of gov
ernment, or permitting the Legisla
ture to locate it, is another one that
is likely to give trouble. It is com
paratively an unimportant question
to the people of the State generally;
but it is "irrepressible.” Then there
is the question of representation-of
reducing the number of Representa
tives, without which no very great
reduction of the expense of the Leg
islature need be expected. We are
afraid that the Convention will not
venture to make here as
sweeping a reform as the
good of the State requires, or in
deed to make any considerable re
duction.
We mention these questions mere
ly as those on which a diversity or
opinion is most marked. There are
others that may prove equally per
plexing. The Convention, with all
its ability, will have work testing its
sagacity, prudence and patriotism.
We have made no predictions as to a
three weeks’ session, and we expect
no such hurried work. In our judg
ment the Convention will do a great
and expeditious work if it gets
through with its labors in a month,
and a still greater work if it perfects
a Constitution that will receive the
general approval of the people
and quiet existang differences in
stead of aggravating them or mak
ing new ones.
HIRKAII FOII OFII MIUK !
The Atlanta ConHtitution is in ecsta
cies over the success of the Conven
tion. In its issue giving returns
indicating a majority for the call, it
heads the column: “The People on
Top!” “Running Up the White Col
ors!” “The Era of ’6B Goes I)owu
Under the Cloud of Popular Oppro
brium 1” “Wiping Out the Recon
struction Chapter!”
Of course we are always glad at the
hilarity of our brethren of the press.
But we must take occasion to
admonish our friends of the Con
stitution to try and curb their en
thusiasm a little, and above all
things keep duly sober. Reserve a
little of your exuberant spirits for the
Fourth of July, which is near at
hand, and keep some of your explo
sives for use on the occasion of the
ratification of the Constitution by the
people.
We are more rejoiced at the exul
ting ardor of the Constitution, be
cause it shows that our friends have
entirely gotten over their alarm
about the removal of the capital,
the establishment of the whipping
post, and the restoration of imprison
ment for debt, to which they had
made such frequent reference of late
as hardly to allow hope of so early a
dissipation of thedllusion.
Russian soldiers on marches sing
to while away tedium, and the solos,
always in a minor key, and mono
tonous. are varied by very lively
bursts in the chorus. The solo singer
often improvises, and is usually ac
companied by a man with a fiddle, a
triangle, a olarionette, or by oue who
whistles. The ordinary uniform of
the iofantry consists of a kepi, a tu
nic, and pantaloons of dark green
cloth, the latter garment being in
serted in the boots. The gray over
coat is carried in a roll at the back,
from the right shoulder to the left
hip. Two cartridge boxes are at
tached to the leather belt in front.
A canvas haversack hangs at the
right behind the bayouet, and the
knapsack covers the back.
Tender Currency Outstanding.
Wash. Oorresp. N. Y. Bulletin.}
There are various statements re
garding the amount of legal tender
currency outstanding. They say there
are $360,000,000 out, but that does not
represent the currency in active cir
culation. The following are the sums
tied up:
Reserves of banks $15,000,000
Held in Treasury tor redemption
of certitioates of deposit 49,880,000
Ten million fractional currency
fund.. 7,772,271
To retire notes of insolv’t banks
and general currency balance. 12,500,000
Due disbursing officers. ..n 13,000,000
To retire bank circulation 11,327,552
$141,979,823
This shows that, the active green
back circulation is only about $218,-
000,000.
The five per cent, fund for redemp
tion of national bank notes is now
overdrawn. It ought to have 15,000,-
000 of greenbacks in it, but the low
state of the money market for loans
has sent, millions here for redemp
tion. Last week was the greatest
since the bureau started. The re
serve will be filled up as soon as the
banks respond, as they do pretty
regularly. W. P. C.
A colored man, who, with a party
of 72, went from Bertie, N. €., in 1870
to Liberia, writes that he has an
abundant crop, as has also his com
panions, and that he does not wish
to return to the United States,
The debts of the Boinburg ' gambling
bank were sold at auction recently. There
were bonds given by unfortunate players
—dukes, counts, barons, dutchesscs,
countesses, officers,artists —in all amount
ing to $500,000, and they were sold at
$1,300.
GEORGIA IUOP KKI’UHM,
Crops Near Aijousta.—The farms
ami market gardens in tho vicinity
of Augusta, especially south, on the
first part of the week looked finely
alter receiving copious showers,
which counteracted the effects of the
four weeks’dry spell which we had
just passed through. Iu many pla
ces oats and wheat had been cut, and
in others where tbo grain was stan
ding It looked well and ripe for the
scythe. But the ruins continuing
thus far, tnose farmers who had not
cut their grain have deferred the
operation until the bun shows itself
again. Corn and cotton are now
doing finely, and unless there is too
much rain, will progress rapidly and
mako up for the backwardness caus
ed by the dry weather. All the
farms on the main roads seem to be
free from grass and weeds. — Augus
ta Chronicle, 15th.
The Weather and Crops.—The long
dry spell was broken by a ligln
shower on Friday last. Ou Saturday
it came again more liberally. On
Sunday rain fell all day; and each
day and night since has brought with
it coollug, refreshing and dampening
showers. Tho month of June gives
us prom’se of good farm work. The
fields are all well ploughed, and will
not be damaged by rain, even if it
falls every day during the month.
This rain season is’expected to hold
out through the month ; and if it does
it will make ttie cotton stalk, and
ensure a bountiful corn crop.
The cutting of wheat, rye and oats
is about finished, and the harvest is
a bountiful one. The great success
with which wheat growers in this
section have met has stimulated them
to larger exertions, and in September
they will double tho eizo of their
wheat Helds.
Upon the whole we may congratu
late Southwest Georgia upon her
splendid prospect for a rich harvest
of everything needful.— Albany News,
14.
Worms Destroying Cotton.— We
have heard # some of the farmers of
th s section complaining that the
worms have destroyed a large
amount of their young cotton. The
stands have been greatly depleted.
One farmer tells us that the worms
have almost completely destroyed
ten acres that had been chopped to a
Ktand and plowed tho second time,
Oue of the laborers, in walking down
a row a distance of a hundred yards,
found at least fifty of the worms upon
the earth’s surface. They very much
resemble the garden cut worm.—
HawkimviUe Dispatch, 14.
Bartow County.— We had a splen
did rain last Sabbath morning, that
fell as gentle as the dew, refreshing
the languishing vegetation, and the
oats, corn and gardens are improving
rapidly from tho withering drouth
through which we have just passed.
The wheat harvest is fully opened,
and our farmers are gathering a full
crop, but some of it is not yet ma
tured, in which the rust is beginning
to appear. Wo have beeit presented
with some choice heads of tho Fulse
variety, and one of them contained
123 grains, of which one mesh yielded
fifteen grains.— Cartersville Express,
15th.
THE FLOODS IN WESTKKN RIVEBI.
St. Louis, June 12.—The Times of
this morning publishes the follow
ing:
Tho rise in the Missouri continues
sweeping down with unabated fury.
At Lexington yesterday the current
was fully nine miles an hour, and at
Booneville it was so swift that the
steamer Alex. Kendall was unable
to stem it. The bulk of the water
comes from below Sioux City, and is
out of the Platte ami Kansas rivers
and other small streams entering
the Missouri from the south. The
rise from the Yellowstone and the
mountain regious is sufficient for
navigation purposes, but is doing no
damage. How long the rise will con
tinue remaius to bo seen, as it is now
raining at liiamarok, St. Paul and
elsewhere in the Northwest. To-day
at Kansas City the river is some two
feet higher than in 1866, and ail the
bottom plantations are overflowed
and stripped of everything that
would lloat,. Here the water had
reached 25J feet by the gauge this
evening, and it is expected to the 30
foot mark by to-morrow afternoon.
This will be 2 feet lower than it was
one year ago when it reached the
sidewalk on Front street. It is for
tunate that the floods below Cairo
will have exhausted themselves be
fore this immense body of water ar
rives, otherwise it would prove disas
trous to tho cotton plautets. As it is,
they will in all probability escape
without material injury.
The Globe-Democrat's specials
from points on the Missouri river
give some additional news of the
rreshet in that stream. At Kansas
City %he Missouri has fallen four
inches to-day, and tho Kaw river
about two feet. Very little land is
visible opposite Kansas City. The
town of Harlem and the deserted
railroad tracks, previously mention
ed, are still under water, but the
passengers being transferred in
omnibuses, or sent around by other
roads, there is but little detention at
Booneville. The warehouso dykes
along the river bank, and large
quantities of eordwood, have been
swept away. Many houses are near
ly submerged. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas road dykes have been
strengthened. The stockyards and
track of the Missouri Pacific road is
submerged. The river is very high
at other points below, but no mate
rial damage is yet reported.
Little Rock. June 11.— The town
of Argeuta, opposite this city, is en
tirely overflowed, including the de
pots of the Memphis and Little Rock
and the Fort Smith railroads. The
river is three feet deep near the de
pot. On the opposite side of the
river plantations above and below
here, not entirely above the danger
line, are overflowed. The levee of
Zcb Ward, protecting over l,00t) acres
of cotton and corn, above the city,
broke this evening, submerging the
whole. Old citizens say the present
is as high a rise as they have ever
known. The worst is not yet known.
The river is higher by 18 inches thau
last year.

NINKINH A TTHKIMH IHONCCAR.
Two und Plt* Mm Stent to
Their Death In the Water*
Hralllft*
From the London Enquirer.]
An eye-witness gives the following ac
count: “On Sunday, the fl inst., a Tur
kish ironclad with two turrets paid a visit
to Braila, and threw some fifteen 9 incli
shells right over the town to the railway
station, just as tho Grand Duke Nicholas
arrived by train from Gulutz. The vessel
did not remain long, and on the following
Friday, tho lltli inst., she returned about
8, p. m., and dropped anchor, with the
object apparently of shelling the town.
She several times shifted her position
slightly, in order to bring her guns to
bear more conveniently. A Russian bat
tery at once opened lire on her with
bronze rifled howitzers, flic range being
5,000 yards. A second battery, armed
with 25-pounder Beige guns, also opened
on the Turkish ship, aud the cannonade
lasted for about forty-live minutas. The
Russians fired in all about twenty rounds.
Suddenly, a small puff of white smoke or
steam rose from the ironclad, followed by
huge flames, which ascended to a height
of sotae twenty feet. These were carried
away by the wind at a slight angle, and
were succeeded by a cloud of dark smoke
or steam rising high into the air, and sur
rounded by black objects. A dull report
was heard, and when the smoke cleared
away the ironclad was gone.
Nothing was to he seen of her but the
mizzemast standing far out of the water
and still flying the Turkish flag which cu
riously enough, the Turkish boa a pulling
to the rescue of the drowning sailors, did
not attempt to secure. These boats came
from a sic >nd Turkish ironclad lying at
the time a little further up the stream
Whether they succeeded in rescuing any
of the crew is not known. But the cook
of the ship was subsequently picked tip
by the Russians, who also carried off the
Turkish flag as a trophy. The man was
much hurt, but he was quite able to give
the explanation of the occurrence.
It seems that the commander of the
Dutfi Djelil had gone ashore at Match
in, shout four or five miles lurther up the
Danube, and had given instructions to
his second in command to get the ship
into position, but not to open fire until In
returned on board; and, as a fact, the
Turkish ship did not reply by a single
gun to the Russians. His object in going
to Matchin was to arrange with four
other gun vessels for a concerted attack
on Br.dia, which as we know never came
off. According to ihe survivor a shell en
tered the side or base of the tunnel ex
ploding in the uptake, the boilers at once,
followed suit. Further than this the ct k
knows nothing until lie was picked up
It was not possible safely to make any ex
animation on the spot after the ship went
down ,!or a body of Circassians posted
among some willows on the river bank,
were very busy with their rifles. The
crew consisted of 182 men, 20 officers, 3
pilots of whom Were Turks. Two of the
Russian officers who laid the howitzers
have been decorated.
The Microscopic Limit.
Ilelmholts and other mathemati
cians of the first order, who have ap
plied their methods of analysis to ttie
subject., have alleged that the
limit,of visibility with the microscope
has been reaehed. This belief is bas
ed on the theory that light is too
coarse to permit the subdivision bv
which smaller objects may bo reveal
ed to our powerful lenses. The limit
of visibility has beon named as the
180,000 th of an inch; but this view is
not wholly accepted by microseop
ists. The Rev. Wm, H. Dailinger
has made experiments which point,
to a very different conclusion. He
employs "anew method of practical
observation, specially adapted to
testing this question, and has con
structed lenses which carry the lim
its of distinct visibility far beyond
the boundary announced by mathe
maticians. Much smaller objects are
thus revealed than the theory thus
referred to would indicate as capable
of being seen. Furthermore, Mr.
Ballinger does not believe that lie
has yet reached the limit of divisibil
ty by instrumental means.
Tweed (Uvci Up.
The following letter from Wm. M.
Tweed explains itself:
Ludlow Street Jail, I
June 13, 1877. |
John D. Townsend- My Dear Sir—l
wish you to take the ueoessary steps
to at once enable me to confess judg
ment in ail cases brought against me
by either the city, county or State.
Mydofenses in all these matters have
been disclosed by mo to the Attorney
General personally, in several inter
views, on his personal assurance to
me that if I made such a statement I
Should be released from imprison
ment; and, as you kuow, also to
yourself; and it would be useless
now to interpose a defense, even had
Ia desire to do so, and save the city
unnecessary further expense.
Your obedient servant.
Wm. M. Tweed.
Tweed is very much depressed in spirits
and weakened in health. lie denounces
what he terms the injustics of the com
promise with Sweeney and declares that
the lour criminal indictments found
against the latter would have led to bis
conviction had he not fled, instead of re
maining as Tweed did, to meet the issue.
Tweed says bitterly that Connolly and
Sweeney were as much in the ring frauds
as himseif. Sweeney’s settlement is an
admission of such complicity, and Tweed
thinks he has a right to be as leniently
treated.
Ninety llusliels of Oats on One Acre.
Turkey Creek, Dooly Cos., Ga., I
Juuell, 1877. J
Editor Hau'kinsville Dispatch :
I measured carefully oue acre of
land that I had in oats (in my five
acre patch), aud threshed them out
carefully, and there were ninety
bushels. I write merely to let you
know exactly what my five acre
patch of oats made per acre, as there
nas been a good deal said about
them. I am nearly sixty years old,
but my oats are ahead of any grain
crop I ever saw in quantity. Tell my
friend, Capt. Coley, that I know I
have beat him in oats bad, and if 1
live until winter, 1 am going to try
to beat him in a two year old pig.
We had fine rains on yesterday.
Yours, respectfully,
Wm. Summerford.
Juke on Uir. Vance.
We. clip the following from the Ral
eigh Observer.
it wi\s iu 1859 that Gov. Vance was
canvassing the Mountain Districts as a
candidate for Congress. At his appoint
ment in Cherokee county he was greeted
with an immense audience. An enter
prising mountaineer of that region had
captured a rattlesnake with two heads,
and putting the reptile in a glass case
exhibiting it iu an old shanty at 10 cents
admission. The snake man stood at the
door and drummed up his audience with
a regular set speech, while a lone fiddler
added to the interest of the two-headed
snake show within. After the speaking
was over in the evening, the Governor
approached the snake shanty, planked
down his ten cents and walked in. His
disgust may well be imagined when he
heard the man ou the out side cry out: —
“Oh, yes ladies and gentleman, come
this way and see the greatest curiosities
in the worid, the two-headed snake and
Zeb. Vanee, both for ten cents —come this
way,’ 1 Ac.
