THE GAZETTE. RISING FAWN, GA. : Thursday, Oct- SMIa, 187©. Among tlie novel applications of glass is the invention of Hamilton L. Buck mil, of England, who lias recently pat ented in this country a railway sleeper made of cast glass. T 1 e colored voters in St. Louis have resolved that they will not vote the Re publican ticket any longer unless they are given a share of the offices in pro portion to their voting strength, and committees have keen appointed tom fool the Republican managers of this doK'i initiation. A writer from West Point to the Columbus Times says: “We scarcely ever hear anything of the colored folks in regard to going to Kansas. 1 be lieve they are generally contented and inclined to live among us. They seem to think that brother Caldwell’s forty acres and mule story of years ago ought to satisfy them of Yankee pretensions.” According to the Augusta News, an important announcement comes from Washington affecting the mail service in Georgia. It says at the next letting of mail routes, it is proposed to increase weekly to semi-weekly, and semi-week ly to tri-weekly routes, and to give all towns wherever possible a daily mail service. This will add much to the con venience of the country in general. The Boston Herald, a Republican pa per, truthfully says: “It is the fact to-day the malcontent Democrats in New york are the ‘bum mers, ’ while the malcontent Republicans are the best and cleanest men in the par ty. Robinson, Democratic candidate for Governor, represents good government, economical, honest administration. Cor~ nell represents the spoils system, the corrupt politicial machine sustained by the offices.’, Savannah News:—Dixon's brother has made thirty-two hundiel dollars jm annum 01 1 of the Yazoo murder. It is also noted by the .Baltimore Gazette that Mrs. Chisholm s grief is always most poignant in the fall of the year. Her husband and chiluren were killed in the spring, but there are no elections in the spring of consequence, and the sorrows of the unfortvnate lady do not reach the newspapers until the eve of important State elections. As soon ?is the people begin to talk about voting bhe seems to be reminded of her loss. pious fcoundrels who managed the F?ecdman’s Bank and robbed th e confiding negroes of their little savings, aggregated into an immense sum, cut the criminating proof of their guilt out of the books of the institution. This is what Senatoi Bruce discovers in his work of investigation. Yet when those rascals were stealing the funds and mu tilating the hooks they gave much of their time to fervent prayer that the Lord would bless the poor benighted ne gro and curse the “wicked rebels.” it may be that they thought they had a fair claim to the money in payment for their praveis. —Savannah News. Chattanooga Times.—McKee of the Selma, Alabama, Argus is whooping i,p for Jhcn Kelley. Jfist wlifit he means by it we can’t see, unless the Tammany bar’l lias been tapped in that quarter, 01 rather antl- l ifd<"-n oai 1 We only suggest this as a possible explana tion. There are a set of persons and newspapers who invariably explain every void of adulation or detense or Tilden jy pointing at Sammy’s bar’l; and we hink sauce for the goose should be sauce or the gander. Tilden himself says hi irulent journalistic assailants, North ml South, are the ones who have ap lied to him for money and been refused ml that Is probably the exact truth, udging the rest by those we know most Pont, we should sooner accept that than u v other as accounting tar He ir course, i ' Tht* Crops olGhe State. The report of Commissioner Janes for the month of August is not a very hope ful document. The corn crop is estima ted at twenty per cent less than that of last year, every section of the state ex cepting north Georgia reporting a short crop. In north Georgia the crop is eight per cent larger than last year’a. In the other sections it is thought, however that the old corn in the cribs of thrifty farmers, together with a liberal area in fall oats, may obviate the neceisiiy of buying western corn. It is to be hoped that this will prove to he the case. On the first day of this month tlie prospects of the state’s crop of cotton were decidedly poor. The rust, cattcr pillar, and boll-worm were at work in the three lower division of the state, while the effects of a late spring arid an early drouth, combined with cool nights and a late growth induced by the rains of August, place the crop of north Geor gia in great danger from an early frost. The weed is everywhere large, but there is not a corresponding amount of matur e 1 fruit. In the state at large the com missioner puts the prospect at 78.0 per cent in relation to an average crop, or 7.2 per cent less than oil the first day of August, and 3.9 per cent less than on the first day of September, 1878. Excepting sorghum, the minor crops are doing finely. Chufas and sweet po tatoes, two important hog crops, and also turnips, are coming on nobly. The commissioner very wisely urges the farmers of the state to increase their acreage of fall-sown oa f s. He consid ers oats the best food for work animals and the best crop to supplement failures in the corn crop. He thinks, in fact, that oats should be the standard grain feed, and corn merely auxiliary—which would reverse the positions of these two crops in the minds of our farmers if their fields are an indication of their views on the subject. The truth is, their is very little danger, as seasons go, that our people can produce a surplus of the two crops—so that an increase in either or both means m#re comfort, more mon ey at home and less dependence upon other states. —Atlanta Constitution. JLi‘gi*Safive. Oct. 3d.—The senate bills ill relation to the railroad freight and tariff regula tion were laid on the table to await the action of the senate on the bill of the house relating to the same subject. A message from the house informed the senate that the house declined to concur in the amendment of the senate to the house bill providing for the levis tion of the jury box, and asked for a com mittee of conference. On motion of Mr. McDaniel, the senate adlierrcd. HOUSE. The house passed a bill to-day to pro vide for the incorporation of colleges, li braries and other literary, charitable or social organizations which have no cap ital stock, and which are not organiced for individual pecuniary gain. Passed by a substitute reported by the commit tee ou corporation. The special order was the considera tion of a bill to regulate the lease of the penitentiary convicts. The substitute offered by the committee was read and taken up by sections for amendments. {SENATE. in. r Oct. 4th—House’^lls passed by the Senate: To amend section 3845 of the revised code ot 1873 as to the pay of non-resi dent witnesses for the state.

To lcgulate practice in courts as to requests to charge juries. .To amend section 1700 of code rt'la tive to appeals from one jury to another. The special order was ti e considera tion of a bill to fix the rate of interest in Georgia at eight per cent. The bill fixes the rate of interest at a maximum of eight per cent.., but does not interfere with the law pi escri bing 7 per cent, as the legal late when more h stipulated. The bill does not make it legal to charge more than 8 per cent, even on agreement. Tribute ef fiiespect. Whereas, an alarm has been made at the outer door, a summons has been sent by the Supreme Architect of the Uni verse, calling our beloved and worthy brother, James 0.

That in bis death a true and faithful brother lias fallen; one who had held many important offices and posi tions in the lodge of which lie was a member and at the hands of his breth ren, all of which he filled with honor to himself and credit to the fraternity, and at all times zealously and faithfully con tending and battling for the institutions of masonry, and contributing liberally to her support in all her efforts to do good. 2d. That we hereby tender to his be reaved daughter and many relatives, the sympathy of his brethren of the mystic tie. 3d. That the lodge will attend the funeral of our deceased brother and con vey his remains to their last resting place in the old church-yard, with those honors of the fraternity peculiarly due as a last tribute of respect to our brother, who was ever true and faithful. 4th. That the members of this lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and that a blank page upon the minutes of the lodge be dedicated to his memory, upon which shall he in scribed bis name, age, date of his admis sion and deatli. sth.
