The Citlhoun county correspondent
or the Blakely Nem writes that In
his county corn can be bought for
Cue, per bushel, and there Is plenty
of It for sale.
It Is said that Gideon Welles held
a hundred shares In tho collapsed Bt.
Louis National Bank. Capt. James
B. Eads, of Eads’ Jetties, was the
hugest shareholder, ho having 2,702
shares. __ #
Du. A. C. Ford, who accompanied
Prof. King In his balloon voyage
from Nashville to Gallatin, Tenn.,
reports to the Signal Service Bureau
that, the temperature directly after
leaving the earth was 87 degrees, and
at an altitude of 0,300 feet it was 07
degrees.
Concrete buildings have been
erected at Cedar Keys, and the Jour
nal of that place thinks that an In
telligent understanding of the sub
ject is all that is needed to convince
any one of the great advantages of
the concrete over any and all other
methods of building in Florida.
Gov. Colquitt has Issued his proc
lamation announcing the call of the
Convention by the vote of the people,
and notifying the delegates elect to
convene at the capltol on Wednes
day the 11th of July. All the coun
ties have sent them returns except
Echols and Ware, and the vote
stands—Convention 48,181, No Con
vention 39.057—majority 1,124.
A strange movement of theCincin
natl beer brewers is reported. It is
said that they mean to raise the price
of their beer from $lO to sl2 per
barrel as a means of prevent
ing the retailers from selling it for
less than live cents a glass. Some of
the latter had put down the price to
three ceDts a glass, or two glasses for
five cents.
The Sumter Republican says that
the statement that the body of the
murdered man found on Llghtwood
Knot creek some weeks ago was that
of one Pound, a cigar maker is a mis
take, ns Pound is now alive in Savan
nah. Gov. Colquitt has offered a re
ward of $250 for the discovery and
apprehension of tho murderer or
murderers.
The 7th, Bth ami 9th Senatorial
District?, constituting the southwest
corner of tho State, all gavo majori
ties against the Convention. In other
parts of the State tho opposition
seemed to be confined to particular
counties and organized by their own
county politicians, but in tho lower
part of southwest Georgia the gener
al sentiment of the people was deci
dedly against it.
■
Lettebs from the places in which
the “Molly Maguires’’ were execut
ed last week, in Pennsylvania, say
that wakes were held over their dead
bodies, and while some were con
ducted without excitement, at others
a very bad feeling was manifested.
It is said that tho organization still
exists, under the name of United
Irishmen, and that some persons ob
noxious to them have quite recently
been served with notices to quit the
country.
In* the Eighth Senatorial District
(Decatur, Miller and Mitchell coun
ties) tho nnti-Conventlon ticket for
delegates was elected. The Bain
bridge Democrat— whose editor is one
of the elect—say 9 concerning the
course of this delegation in the Con
vention that they will each and every
one be found on the side of strict,
rigid and practical economy; and in
favor of everything to the interest of
the people of Georgia, and opposed
to everything against.
The Augusta Chronicle says that it
does not pretend to speak by author
ity, but has little doubt that Gov-
Jenkins would accept the position of
President of the Constitutional Con
vention if tendered to him. We hope,
then, that it will be tendered to him
by a unanimous vote. It would be a
fit acknowledgment of the long and
valuable public seivices of one of
Georgia’s purest and mo3t patriotic
and eminent statesmen.
There is trouble between tho mer
chants of Batnbridge and the Atlan
tic and Gulf Railroad about freights.
As stated by the Democrat,the causes
of complaint are two—lst, the re
quirement of freight charges in ad
vance on gcods received at Bain
bridge for the merchants of that
place, the agent not even allowing
them to bo put on drays for the best
houses until tbe freight bills are
paid; and 2d, the high rates of
freight on cotton. Tho Democrat
says that the road lost the transpor
tation of 2000 or 3000 bales of cotton
last season because freights to New
York by the A. & G., via Savannah
were twice as high as by tho river
and Fernandiua. It predicts a much
larger river transportation this year,
unless the railroad "comes down’’ in
freights.
The late Presidential contest en
gendered touch “bad blood” which
coolness and judgment will correct.
The-“bad blood” induced by a per
sistent violation of nature’s great but
simple laws requires not only cool
ness and judgment, but ohedienee,
to hygienic measures and tlie proper
use of Dr, Bull’s Blood Mixture to
insure its purification.
The graduating class of West Point has
had a cup made, costing three hundred
dollars, to present to the first baby born to
any of the class who shall marry. This
is calculated to make the infantry man
cevres quite lively.
nkkiii.rnn a livin'..
President Hayes is reported to have
declared in an Interview with his
newly appointed Postmaster at
Memphis, Tenn., that tho people of
the South ought to weloorae the Immi
gration of Northern men of energy
and Industry. And the grateful
Postmaster Is reported to huve re
plied simply that he thought so too.
If we may be permitted also to do
some thinking aloud on the subject,
we will sny that, the President's re
mark showed surprising Ignorance,
and tho Postmaster's reply a politic
desire to appear complaisant rather
than correct his patronuge-dlspeDs
ing adviser.
There is no part of the South In
whioh Northern men of energy, In
dustry or capital are not warmly
welcomed, and there never has been
a time when they were not. All
statements to the contrary are the
misrepresentations of designing poli
ticians who cared not how much they
would injure tho people of the South
if they could thereby accomplish a
party purpose. Bight here in this
city the people would welcome the
investment of ten millions of dollors
of Northern capital in cotton mills,
and cheaply furnish unsurpassed
water power and other facilities for
successfully operating them, and
they would as cordially receive
aoy number of working peo
ple, either to run these
mills or to engage In any other
branch of industry. What the peo
ple of tho South particularly want is
immigration—tho immigration of
working men, or men of means, to
help develop the resources of the
couutry, and they will sell them
good lands cheaper thun they can be
bought anywhere else. But carpet
baggers coming down here with a
sole view to getting office and to cre
ating divisions and antagonisms
among our people to enable them to
get office, are not the olass of immi
grants wanted. President Hayes
ought to have known this, and if he
did riot, tho editor of the Memphis
Avalanche, ought to have told him so,
even if he is a postmaster.
NO noni-: “HOTFEN BOROUGHS.”
It is time that tho people of the
older and more populous States were
seriously considering the question
whether any more new States should
be admitted, out of territory which
can never be so well settled as to
make them worthy of the rank and
powers of the States. A gentleman
who has lately travelled extensively
through the region gives it as his
opinion that the States of Colorado
and Nevada, which are States only in
form, and tho Territories of Wyom
ing, Dakota, Montano, Idaho, Utah,
New Mexico and Washington, will
never attain, nor can they support,
an aggregate population of more
than 1,400,000, or about one-fourth
the population of the State of New
York. He bases his estimate on the
scarcity of fertile lands, the difficul
ty of obtaining water, tho presence
of untiliablo mountain ranges, arid
deserts, etc. In his opinion each ter
ritory, by making tho most of its
mining and farming resources, may
acquire population sufficient to enti
tle it to admission as a State, but not
only is likely to ever have more than
a single Representative in Congress.
But, according to the constitution,
each of these territories, when ad
mitted as a State, must have a repre
sentation in tho Senate equal to that
of Now York or Georgia. Herein
would consist tho injustice to the old
States of admitting them with their
sparse and scattered populations and
their poor prospect of ever large
ly increasing them. Here are nine
little Western States and Territories,
which comblued would have ouly
as large a representative population
as that of Georgia, but whioh would
be a very grave political evil, and one
that might lead to serious difficulties
at some time. The safer policy
would be to continue all these terri
tories iu their present political status
until it is ascertained that there are
reasonable prospects of their over
acquiring a sufficient population to
make States out of.
Gmnt ns a Doctor ol Laws.
From the Baltimore Gazette.]
There is probably no subject upon
which Grant, all uncultured as he is,
is so ptofoundlv ignorant as of law.
While lie was President, it© sent a
message to Congress in reference to
the President “as fixed by the Con
stitution,” a blunder so ludicrous
that it set the country into multitudi
nous laughter. After seven years’
service as President, he did not know
enough ahuut our Constitution to
know t hat his own salary is one of its
provisions. Not only is he ignorant
of it, but he despises it, aud has
always beaten it down with the brutal
insolence of the soldier. He even
packed the Supreme Court to reverse
the legal tender decision ; lie upheld
by force the lawless act of Durell,
knowing it to be lawless; and he
trampled down law and Legislature
with his troops in Louisiana. He
pardoned every whiskey thief that
tiie law convicted, aud kept arouud
his person branded breakers of the
laws of common honesty as well as
of his country’s statutes. He knows
no more about law now than ho did
when he was soaking hides in a tan
yard.
Threr-Ccnt Coins.
The Philadelphia Ledger my: “Wo
hear a deal of complaint of return to
circulation iu large numbers of the
old three-eent coins issued in 1853.
Their diminutive stee, coupled with
the fact that the Hub-Treasury re
fuses to redeem them, renders them
particularly objectionable as a circu
lating medium. The Postofiiee De
partment, we believe, has established
certain rules in reference to these
coins, which provide for their ex
changing for stamps or postal cards
only in suras of five dollars or less.
The party presenting these coins may
be required to leave them until such
time as they can be properly counted
and inspected. A careful observance
of the latter precaution is as impor
tant as the former, such coins ouly
being received on deposit by the Su
b as are found perfect in ev
ery respect. If the surface is worn
smooth or there are any punctures
or clippings, such coins are reject
ed.”

Hl* stay In Atlanta In the Hand* t the
Church.
From Ike Atlanta Constitution, 34th.l
Dr. Harrison, of the First Metho
dist church, returned to the city on
yesterday. He was at once besieged
by tbe members of his church, who
wore anxious to know whether or not
he had determined upon leaving his
charge In this city for tho church In
Washington.
A Cumtitution reporter called to
see Dr. Harrison, and at once pro
pounded the important question.
“I can hardly say yet what I will
do,” replied Dr. Harrison.
•‘Would you make up your mind to
stay here if your congregation would
goto work at once aud lluiah your
church?”
*'Oh, yes, I think I would. Yes, I
would, if they would take hold of the
mutter and finish the church by tbe
meeting of the general conference.
1 would not feel justified in leaving
if they would do that, I want to
preach in a finished church though.”
“What wore the circumstances at
tending your call to Washington?”
“The church there is without a
pastor. My trip had nothing to do
with the call. A committee had
been arranged to call upon me at
Atlanta,aud had I failed to go North
they would have waited upon me
here. I felt as if there was a great
opportunity for good in Washington.
You see the Southern church has
been under the bans in that city for
a long time, and any one who attend
ed it was liable to be outlawed from
certain society as a rebel, or rebel
sympathizer. That feeling is being
rapidly broke down now, and the
church could have been brought up.
The president will frequently attend
the church and thus remove the fear
that has prevented many, whose
meat and bread depended upon tne
administration, bad of worshipping
there.
After they had persistently begged
me to accept the call, if they asked
if I would submit to the decision of
the bishops upon the question. I re
plied that J. would. They ttien sent
a delegation to wait, upon the board
of bishops, in session in Nashville.
The bishops decided to leave the
matter with Bishop Pierce. I under
stand that Bishop Pierce is of the
opinion that I had better go to Wash
ington.”
“The matter lias not, then, been
deflnitefy closed.”
“No, sir. The transfer from the
Georgia conference would not take
place until the fall, at any rate. The
matter is still open. I have felt that
It was best not to act hastily.”
A GLOOMY PICTURE OF THE NORTH.
Dr. Harrison gave a very gloomy
picture of the status of affairs at the
north.
“The South,” he says, “is immeas
urably better off to-day than ttie
North. We hardly know what hard
times are. Why, 1 saw more life and
prosperity and activity in Richmond
liiun I did in Pittsburg or auy of
those Northern cities. There is little
or no building going on-none to
compare to the rapid recuperation of
the South. There is plenty of money
but no circulation. There is no hea
vy.business and no demand for
houses. In the banks of Pittsburg
there is nineteen million dollars that
has not paid a per cent, in four years.
I know of a family that own
over SIOO,OOO of railroad stock,
and oannot pet an income suffi
cient to justify them in keeping a
house servant. I know of a house in
Pittsburg that cost SOI,OOO and rents
for SOOO. In Cleveland there is one
that cost $40,000 aud rents for S4OO.
In Chicago there is enough store
room to do tho business of tiie con
tinent; there is three miles of solid
business houses, most of them six
stories high ; tbe average of them do
not have two stories occupied. The
depression is universal and absolute.
It is not necessary to discuss the
causes of it. It is enough to say that
the North now feels sensibly the fol
ly of oppressing the South, when it
is from the South that their prosper
ity has always come. In the great
recuperation t hat is ahead of us, the
South will bo foremost. You may
depend upon this.”
THE OUTLOOK FOR THE CHURCH.
The building committee of the
church will meet ou Monday night,
and it may be safely said that, plans
will there bo adopted that will result
in the speedy completion of the
church. Tho congregation is at last
fully aroused, and we feel sure will
not rest until the church is finished.
If this is done Dr. Harrison will be
saved to the Georgia conference.
We are sure no greater incentive to
work could be given than is furnish
ed in this mere statement.
Texas Cattle Drive.—A short time
before ttie opening of the season for
driving Texas cattle North, the Kan
sas City Price Current published
statements, based upon tho opinions
of those who had been for years en
gaged in dealing in Texas cattle, to
the effect that the drive North would
amount to probably 250,000 head. In
addition to the regular reports from
Fort Worth, Texas, to Mi y 28, there
was published, iu its issue of J une 15,
a report of the number of cattle that
had passed Fort Griffin, Texas, to
the 28th of May, as furnished by
the cattle inspector of Shackleford
county, Texas, the county in which
Fort Grifiiu is located. This gives
lull reports from the two points to
May 28, which show that up to that
time 93.290 head of cattle had passed
Fort Worth, aud 88,703 had passed
Port Grifiiu, making a grand total of
180,999 to the date mentioned. The
Price Current is of the opinion that
the drive will not run to 235,000, for
of the 180,999 so far reported as hav
ing passed Forts Worth and Griffin,
13,573, it has been reported, will be
held in northern Texas, leaving 167,-
•136 as the number which will come
to Kansas, Nebraska and the Territo
ries. But the end is not yet, and it
will take but a few weeks to give
definite results.
A Child Asleep in a Tall Thee
Top. —A very remarkable escape oc
curred the other day to a little
nepheiv of Edward E. Powers, boot
and shoe dealer. The child, who is
five years old, was missing at about
12 o’clock, when looked for at dinner
time; but. after calling hira.thefum
ilv ate dinner, and the child not ap
pearing, they became alarmed and
instituted a' search throughout the
neighborhood. His hat was fouud in
the yard under some large maple
trees. Nothing could be heard of
him until about 3 o’clock, when a
girl discovered him up on one of the
limbs of a maple tree, forty feet from
the ground, asleep. The girl called
him, but he did not awake, and the
situation being discovered, his aunt
prevented any noise being made un
til two boys climbed the tree and
awoke him, and he was got down
safely. It cannot be ascertained how
long the child had been there, but a
continuous search was made from 1
o’clock to 3 p. m.— Detroit Post.

A Car l oad of urn l,ln> from the Pa
cific :*!—New York's l.mei.l
Arrivals.
From the New York Herald,l
Hundreds of people gathered at the
Vanderbilt depot, in Hudson street,
yesterday morning, to witness the re
moval of a car load of sea lions,
which had arrived from the Pacific
coast for Messrs. Coup & Keiche’e
New York Aquarium. The peculiar
and unmelodious cry of tho amphibi
ans oould be heard for blocks around.
Each of the sixteen sea lions had a
separate wooden cage. The singu
larity of their situation made them
howi to the full extent of their ca
pacious throats. Outside of their
vocal gymnastics they lay perfectly
still in their cages and looked lazily
back at tlsrir spectators. At noon
they were the neusation of that sec
tion of the city. Car No. 2.186, which
transported them, was for the time a
free museum, iis it afforded all who
passed an op|ioriunity of seeing
what hut few had seen in their life
time, An uggrcgatiou of sixteen sea
lions cannot be seen every day. In
deed, there has been no sricn am
phibian arrival in New York before.
The expedition which captured
these monsters was commanded by
Capt. James Mullet, under the direc
tion of the proprietors of the New
York Aquarium. Ou the 31st of
March, tne expedition was dis
patched. It proceeded to lower Cali
fornia and the Mexican coast. On
board were fifteen trained lariat
throwers, all from Mexico, wtiere
this method of capturing monsters
of the land and sea has become a
science. When the sea-lions were
sighted at, a distance by a glass, the
vessel was anchored. A small boat
was then filled witli tbe lariat
throwers, who rowed in the direction
of their game. Days were consumed
in waiting fora favorableopportuuiiy
for the capture. The Mexicans slept
upon the rocks in the habitat of the
sea monsters. At daylight they went
about their work. It is then that the
amphibians began to show them
selves. The method of capture was
as follows: First, the lasso was
thrown over the head of tile sea lion,
as it was basking on rocks; then the
flipper was seized by a seeond rope,
and the monster became help
less under a third iling which held
his tail in confinement. While thus
helpless a cage was placed over tbe
iiou, and after being released from
the ropes the cage aud captive were
pushed overboard and towed to the
vessel. Fifteen men were required to
capture each sea Hon. Lives huve
been lost in the attempt to make
these monsters of the deep captives.
In this expedition everything was
safe and successful. Several weeks
were consumed in gathering this col
lection. Capt. Mullet is probably the
only man in the world who has made
a specialty of their capture. When
these natives of the Pacific coast,
were captured they were transported
to San Francisco and therice here.
Among them is a female and a cub,
the latter being the first, of its kind
ever seen in captivity. During trans
portation they were fed on fresh fish,
and water was poured over them at
frequent intervals. Two of the crea
tures are for tbe Brighton Aquarium,
Eng., two for the Paris Acclimatiza
tion Society, two for Amsterdam,
Holland, and the remainder will re
main in New York, at the Aquarium,
or be sent to the Seaside Aquarium,
at Coney Island.
.1 Startling Humor—l(i |itirteU IMot to
mow nut tlte Nuer. Canal.
New York, June 22 A cal le from
Cairo says there is considerable excite
ment, mid the Egytlnn Government is
seriously alarmed over the discovery of
a conspiracy to destroy the passage of the
Suez Canal by blowing in tiie bank with
nitroglycerine at a point between Ismaila
and Port Said. Most stringent meas
ures of precaution have been adopted to
foil the conspirators. The Khedive has
appointed a commission for the canal
with General Stone Pasha ns president.
Admiral MeKeilop Pasha, Admiral,
Frederigo Pasha, and Captain Morice are
the other members of the commission.
Troops will patrol the banks and every
possible effort made to prevent t he carry
ing out of the plot. The English Gov
ernment is also alarmed, and has request
ed the Khedive to watcli tbe canal with
renewed vigilance. It is probable tbe
English government will be called upon
to dispatch troops for the protection of
the canal. Thus England will have n pre
text for occupying Egypt.
