SATURDAY MOEKINQ, MAY 21,1870 COMING TO THE POINT, An attempt was recently made at Orleans to force negro children into the public schools of that city. The essay was unsuccessful; but it is reported that trouble -Will arise in consequence. Whenever the South becomes perfectly quiet, and so refuses to furnish food for Radical digestion, every device is put in motion by the President, by such Senators as Summer and Morton, such Representa tives as Butler, and emissaries of carpet bag and native knavery, to bring about col lisions. Palling in effecting their purpose by means of venal presses, like Forney’s Chronicle, the poor negro is made a tool of and thrust forward in certain juxtaposi tions with white people, violative of God’s law and the natural instincts of humanity. So far as Senator Sumner’s bill is con cerned, we are perfectly willing that the issue should be made at once, if it is to be made at all; We have-no fear of the ulti mate result, bnt deplore the terrible conse quences that will surely follow in its train. The experiment has never tie fore been tried, -under similar circumstances, and, if legal enactments can “ revolutionize human na ture” at the bidding of a fanatic and a enunch, then will the Republic be entitled to claim an eminence in infamy beyond all parallel. But it is not possible that four millions of negroes should, for any length of time, be permitted to occasion so much of riot and disgrace, at the bidding of de generate white men. If Senator Sumner desired the ultimate extirpation of the negro race he could not go about its accomplish ment in a better way. Let the negroes who regard matters sensibly understand that nothing can so powerfully operate to their rapid overthrow and extinction as the forcing of social equality doctrines by act of Congress. Let the white people under stand that Sumner’s bill and kindred pro jects are so many vile efforts to provoke outbreaks in order that Congress may have a pretext to throttle the South, and, by a howl of “ loyalty,” “ rebellion," “ KuKlux” etc., divert the awakened indignation of the Northern people from them to us. We urge upon our people redoubled efforts to remain perfectly quiet; to baffle all Radical endeavors pfovocatlye of a breach of the peace. Least ofrjßshould they threaten in advance of the overt act. If preparations shall ever become necessary to defend our social rights, we can go about the business the more effectually by substituting'deter mined action for unnecessary menace. THE GEORGIA BILL. We publish elsewhere the Buti.er bill as reported to the House of Representatives. It is a mere copy of the Virginia and Texas bills, with a provision for the establish ment of a “ 101 l militia ” tacked ofi. It is said'that “ Gen. Farnsworth intends to of fer a substitute, providing for the imme diate admission of the State, and declaring that the act shall not be so construed as to prohibit the people of Georgia from elect ing anew Legislature next Fall. This is substantially the Bingham amendment, and will be supported by many of the Re publicans and by all of the Democrats in the House.” Woman Suffrage. —We understand that a number of negro women in this community have been agitating the subject of registration. In New York, at the re cent election, an old negress insisted upon voting. She told the inspector “ dat all de niggers oughter to vote, de women as well as de men, and dat’s what was de matter.” Upon being informed that her time had not yet come, she rushed wildly into the street, urging everybody to vote “ in fabor ob de sixteenth ’menment.” If New York went Democratic by 75,000 majority, when negro men were allowed to vote for the first time, what will the ma jority be when black dames and demoi selles share that “inestimable privilegeV” Foaming.— Senator Ferry has the dis tinguished honor of being abused by For ney, who calls him “ a technical Republi can.” And then Forney has the impu dence to make this insinuation: “We should be very slow to intimate that there was‘anything ‘ venal ’ In Mr. Ferry’s violent pettifogging in tfehatf of his rebel clients.” p Indeed and yon ought to be the B lowest man on earth to intimate any such thing of anybody. Take care how you cross that Ferry, John W. Howard.— Senator Howard is utterly opposed to general amnesty. He said: “ Jefferson Davis and the rebel ringleaders would come back to repatch and revivify the lost cause. Personal pride would never allow him to see his name on the same list of yeas and nays with perjured traitors and enemies of his country.” Howard must be descended from that first-class Pharisee mentioned in the Scrip tures. The re-appearance of the intellec tual and honest leaders of the South would damage something else beside his “ personal pride.” Wanted—A Law.— The Judiciary Com mittee of the United States Senate regret there is no law to punish Forney, Bul lock & Cos., and “ think it best they should be left to an enlightened and just public sentiment.’’ We disagree with the committee. Pub lic sentiment at the North lias ceased to be just or enlightened, and at the South it is politically powerless. Such men as For ney and Bullock can not be reached by public sentiment. The whipping-post would be far more effectual. West Point Ku Klux.—Notwithstand ing the fact that nearly all the cadets at West Point are of Radical appointment and of Northern birth, they looked with the greatest disfavor on Butler’s recent at tempt to introduce a colored brother into their classes and messes. It is related that, when one of them was asked how the col ored carets would have been received, he replied: “ They would not have lived two nights after they entered.” Sorosis.— Since the Tribune free-lovers have been formally applauded and en dorsed by the ladies who periodically drink tea and wear pantaloons at Del- MONtco’s, the husbands of the aforesaid strong-minded females had better prepare testimony as to their insanity. Such wo men are bound to get men into trouble, sooner or later. Riled.— The publisher of the Washing ton Chronicle threatens to reply to the awful excoriation he received from the Senate Judiciary Committee. He will no doubt give a reason tor every dollar Bul lock bribed him with. Biblical.— “ It is said that the colored men are sworn upon the Bible at the Leagues to support the Radical nomina tions.”—Courier-Journal. Is that the reason Junius Henri Browne wipes the Bible with his handkerchief be-, fore permitting it to ooAo in his lips ? f ! Sixty-Nine.—William H. Seward reached his sixty-ninth birthday on the 16th inst. The following couplet is not just in every case, but it is a true bill for Billy: “God takes the good, too good on earth to stay, And leaves the bad, too bad to take away.” The Whipping Post.— Delaware whips her criminals and seldom has to perform the operation a second time on the same culprit. Forney is very mad because Delaware preserves this institution. He has all the rage of a knave who has so far gone “ unwhipt of justice.” Bad Spelling. —Governor English, of Connecticut, is accused ot spelling which “ whitch,” which is not English. [J. IF. Forney. But he has never written an infamous letter and received bribes. General Thomas. —Captain Hough, formerly of General Thomas’ staff, declares that the late satrap having sympa thized at any time with the Southern cause. Ugh! —The celebrated Jim Fisk has for luncheon spring lamb, green peas, aspara gus, lobster salad, a bottle of Heidsick and two pieces of strawberry short cake. What a digestion! Awful.—A female child with three tongues has been born iu lowa. Some poor devil is destined, we fear, to be trebly pun ished for his sins. Long Live the Queen !—Washington has a sign bearing the words “ JJressmaker to Her Honor the Presidentess.” The New Georgia Bill. The following is the bill as reported : An Act to admit the State of Georgia to representation in the Congress of the United States. Whereas the people «f Georgia have fram ed and adopted a constitution of State gov ernment which is Republican: and whereas the Legislature of Georgia, elected under said constitution, has ratified the Four teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States ; and whereas the. perfqrmance of these several acts in gqpij faith is a condition precedent to the representation of the State in Con gress ; therefore Be it enacted , &c., That the said State of .Geergia is entitled to representation in the Congress of States : Provided, That before any member of the Legislature of said State shall take or resume his seat, or any officer of said State shall enter upon the duties of his office, he • shall take and subscribe, and file in the office ofthe Secre tary of State of Georgia, for permanent pre servation, an oath or affirmation in the form following : “ I, , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have never taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support ,to Constitution of the United States, and afterward engaged in insurrection or re bellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. So help me God.” Or under the pains and penalties of perjury (as the case may be.) Or such person shall, in like manner, take, sub scribe, aud file the following oath or affir mation : “I, ,do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have by act of Congress of (lie United States been relieved from the disabilities imposed upon me by th.e Four teenth Amendment of the Constitution of tiie United States.

And any person who shall' knowingly swear or affirm falsely in taking either of such oaths or affirmations, shall be deemed guilty of perjury and shall be punished therefor by imprisonment not less than one year and not more than ten years, and shall be fined not less than one thous and dollars aud not more than ten thous and dollars. And in all trials for any vio lation of this act, the certificate of the tak ing of either of said oaths or affirmations, with proof of the signature of the party ac cused, shall be taken and held as conclu sive evidence that such oath or affirmation was regularly and lawfully administered by competent authority; And provided fur ther, That every such person who shall neglect for a period of thirty days next, af ter the passage of this act to take, sub scribe and file such oath or affirmation as aforesaid, shall be deemed and taken to all intents and purposes to have vacated his office: And provided further, That the State of Georgia is admitted to representa tion in Congress as one of the States of the Union, upon the following fundamental conditions: First.

Congress—Sumner on His Black Hobby. —Mr. Sumner introduced a bill in the Senate yesterday, which he called an act supplementary to the .Civil Rights act, and which in effect minutely describes sev eral additional times and places wherein a negro shall be as good as a white man, snch as theatres, cars, steamboats, institu tions of learning, and even churches and cemeteries—any institution, in fact, incor porated by National or State authorities. We had hoped, at one time, that Mr. Sum ner, like the Anti-Slavery Society, consid ered-his work finished and was willing to let the negro live in peace. We thought that he had polished up the old subject un til there was no additional polish needed, and we felt sure once that he was looking round for anew subject which might possi bly have a speck of white in it. Bat it, seems We were deluded.' He has studied only one subject all his' life and is deter mined to make the most of it. Even finances cannot secure him away for any length of time. He"Wul probably continue legislating for the negro against the white man until even Massachusetts is disgusted . and shelves him for some man like Wendell EhUUpji or William Lloyd Garrison, who adept to have one or two ideas outsider bf the negro subject. In fact, Sumner in thus neglecting his white constituents for his colored brothers, exhibits 3. spirit of caste that is simply abominable and ip open vio lation of tbeOivil Rights bill. . * ab illcf wmiwmv&atm People of Wyoming don’t know whether to call their female judge a jnsticess of the peace or a justice of the peacess. V (From the Memphis Ledger. Cleburne. SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT HIM. When General Cleburne was killed at Franklin, Teun., in 1864, he was in his thirty-fifth year. By education he was a druggist, and in early life he was as thoroughly as one could be at his age in that pfrofeSsibn. When about twenty-one years of age, he abandoned the monotony of bottles and labels apd the fill ing of prescriptions, and joined the British army as a private. The extent and charac ter of his services I have not been able* to ascertain, bnt it is not probable that he re mained in the army many months. This much is known: He landed at New York poor and friendless, aud some years before the war was found at Cincinnati by a gen tleman of Helena, Arkansas, who induced him to go to that place and accept, under him, a situation in his drug store. The young Irishman soon made friends, who recognized his merits and talents, and per suaded him to study law. He was soon admitted to the bar, and became the part ner of Colonel Mangnm, an emminent lawyer of Arkansas, who was afterward one of Cleburne’s staff officers, and who is still practicing law at Helena. When the war broke out Cleburne went out from Phillips county as captain of a company. His subsequent career is part of the known history of the war, and his fame belongs alike to the Sooth and his native Ireland. Strange and unnatural as it may seem, he had a brother in the Federal army. Os this fact he never spoke even to his most intimate friends, and few of them ever ven tured to broach the subject. Passing over this circumstance, which has many painful parallels, we come to the saddest romance of his great life, which involves another who was gentle and pure, and patriotic in her sphere, as he was brave and knightly and fierce in war. She, too, has gone to the spirit land, and we violate no sacred confidences now in writing thus briefly a tender epi sode in the warrior’s life. It will be re membered by hundreds and thousands of the surviving members of the grand old army of Tennessee that while the army was in Winter quarters at Dalton, Gen. Cleburne had leave of absence and went to Mobile, as it was impossible for him to get through the lines to his home. When he returned to the army it was observed by all who knew Gen. Cleburne that he was dressed up as he never before had been.— He wore anew uniform, with the buff trim mings and insignia of a Confederate Major General; alsd anew felt hat, adorned with a sweeping black plume. The soldiers grew facetious over the change in “ old Pat’s” appearance, for previously he had generally worn the garb of a common sol dier, and they explained the transforma tion in many witty remarks! It subse quently transpired that during the Gene ral’s absence he had addressed an accom plished and lovely young lady of Mobile, was accepted, and they became formally betrothed. A time was appointed for the celebration of their nuptials, but fate de cided that should never meet again. Gen. Cleburne carried with him into Teu nessce his wedding suit, and expected, at the first opportunity,, to return to Mobile to bo married. The rest Is qujclify told.— He fell at Franklin, dfid Was rnTrledih his bridal suit, as one of his staff, who interred him, but recently informed me. The young . lady, some time after the war, was married, but ltfst year she, too, passed from earth, and the betrothed spirits have doubtless met before the Great White Throne of Heaven, where all believers in Divine Reve lation must admit “ there is no marriage or giving in marriage.” General Cleburne joined the Episcopal Church before the war, and was buried at Franklin with the full rites of that church, which were performed on the occasion by Bishop Quintard. Not Born to be Drowned—Remark able Escape from Death at Sea.— The following particulars of a most remarka ble escape from deatli at sea are from a letter written by C. A. Ramlett, Jr., mas ter of the ship Surprise, dated at Shang hai, China, February 11. The story will rival any of Maryatt’s inventions. The Surprise sailed from New York, October 9, 1869, for Shanghai, and on February 29, at noou, one hundred and twenty clays out, had sailed 16,349 miles, being then in the Pacific Oceau, in'latitude 20.20 north, and longitude 129 east. The captain writes: At half-past twelve, midnight, of January 29, the second mate, with his watch, were aloft, reefing- the mizzen topsail, when Win. A. Joy, a small boy, belonging to Nantucket, fell from the Weather quarter of the yard overboard, just clearing the weather mizzen .channels, but striking heavily on one of the boat davit chains. I saw him fall, but did not have the remot est idea that we could save him, not only for the reason that the night was very dark and stormy, with, a heavy sea run ning, but because I supposed he was se verely injured by the fall and encumbered by his clothing, would sink immediately. However, I called all hands, shortened sail, wore ship around on the port tack, and stood on for about fifteen minutes, when some of the men forward thought they heard a cry. Shortly I wore ship again on the starboard tack, as we were when he went overboard, and as the ship came up to the wind, we all heard him crying out on our weather bows. Coming to, with everything aback, brought him right under the weather quarter, when he was hauled in with a bow line thrown over him, apparently uninjured. He was naked, having undressed him self, oil clothes and seaboots, etc., in the water—no small feat of itself tor a boy less than fourteen, and small of his age. His left arm was badly injured, but he had not felt it in the water. I considered his one of the most miracu lous escapes from drowning I ever heard of, not only that the boy should keep him self up for forty-five minutes, but that we should find him in such a dark night. The Crops of Louisiana Sugar and Rice for 1869-’7o.—The New Orleans Price Current in a recent number publishes the annual statement of the sugar and rice crops of Louisiana as prepared by Mr. L. Bouchereaij. of that city. It says: The total crop of sugar for 1869-’7O is given at 87,090 hogsheads, while in 18fil ’02 it amounted to 459,410 hogsheads. Os rice the crop of the past season amounted to 100,748 barrels of the weight of 200 pounds each- Last season was a very- un favorable one for the growth of the cane.— In the first place the seed cane was not only inferior in quality, but was deficient in quantity also, and the weather through out the sfeason being singularly unfavor able to the growth of the plant, the yield per acre was considerably below the aver age. As tq the crop now growing, the in dications are at present all favorable. The supply of seed cane has been ample and it has proved to be very superior in quality. Planting was pushed forward with great activity as far as was possible with the re stricted supply of labor generally at com mand as early in the season as was deemed advisable, .but tfie remarkably backward character of the weather retarded the ap pearance of the shoots until a later period than usual. Latterly, however, the wea ther has been quite propitious and rows of healthy shoots can be traced through tlje whole length of the furrows. There has been a much larger breadth of land placed under cultivation than at any time for some years past, and the strong appre hensions are entertained that should the season prove to be favorable, there vyill not be labor force enough to take the crop off, unless help can be procured from other sections of the country. In the rocks on the top of Enchanted Mountain, in Georgia, there are human tracks, one of which is seventeen and a half inches long. It is supposed in the neigh borhood to have been made by Noah when he first lauded from the arir.

But fume on fume!—A steady flow Os outrage from somebody's toe! Till Pompey, bounding with a yell, Proclaimed, “I gib dat nigger —1!” \ “ Whar he spect he gwine to ?

Byron’s Grave.—A correspondent of the London Times calls attention to the worse than neglect to which the burial place of Lord Byron is subjected: How many of the poet’s admirers, he asks, know where he is buried at all ? At Ilacknall Torkard, a few might answer, but could one in a hundred of all the thou sands that have read his works, aped his peculiarities, envied him his beauty, con demned. his vices, admired his genius or blackened his memory, tell you where Hucknall Torkard is, what it is, or from personal observations give you any idea of its unvisited, out-of-the-world dreariness and desolation! Some six miles from Nottingham, on the Mansfield line of railway, lies the misera ble collection of cottages and small shops dignified by that name. Approaching it from Nottingham, you pass oue or two other small places as grimy and unpoetical looking as itself; then comes a wide sandy tract of unreclaimed land, covered here and there with stunted bushes and blackened furze, which is all that remains of what was once Sherwood Forest, and still bears that name, and at length the train stops where the dark woods around Ncwstcad are just visible in the distance. The vil lage is not more than a stone’s throw from the station, and consists maiuiy of one long, dirty, irregular lane, at the top of which is the church. This edifice is a small weather-worn building, supposed to date from the eleventh century, and stands in a churchyard that reminds you of noth ing but Arabia Petrma without the sun. In a vault beneath the chancel, Lord Byron, his ancestors and his daughter, Ladv Lovelace, are buried. Buried, in deed! Shut out not ouly from the living world, but Its very remembrance. More lonely, more forsaken by his fellow-men rti his death than in the darkest moments of his self-embittered life. Anything more at variance with the thoughts that crowd upon the mind while standing beside the resting place of genius than every surrounding of this forlorn grave it is impossible to imagine. The miserable, poverty-stricken village, the time worn church—to which none but some three or four of the Byrons seems ever to have been brought for burial save tjie very poor —the Byron pew, with its green baize lin ing faded and torn, now fallen into the hands of “ some decent sort of folks in the village,” and above the plain white tab let. without ornament of outline or in scription, erected in memory of the author of “ Childe Harold ”by Mrs. Leigh. She, after all, it seems, of all his admirers so loud-voiced in their praise, was and is the only one who, out of her scanty means, had more than words to offer as a tribute to his deathless fame. Like his own “Man fred,” “the Spirits” he has “raised abandon him,” and he rests as he lived, “ alone. ” Moral Crowds Refuse to Tolerate a Domestic Exhibition. —The “ maternal prodigy”—a mother of 11 years of age— came to this city a fortnight since, accom panied .by her widowed mother, and pro posed to exhibit herself and child “ to wo men and physicians only,” for the purpose of acquiring means of support. Hand bills were posted setting forth the fact, but the cry of “ immorality” was raised with such effect as to defeat the show. The party next went to St. Paul, after being supplied by their friends here with the only decent clothing they possessed. On Friday afternoon the 'exhibition was open ed there “ for ladies only,” but several men, shocked at the “ immorality ” of the show, gathered at the door to watch and mark whoever entered, and finally exhibit ed so much of the spirit of a mob as to frighten this poor, unfortunate girl to tears, and cause her to turn to her mother with the pitiful request to be taken home, only to be met with the distressing an swer, “We have no home.” Not oue of all this “ moral ” crowd offered to donate a single penny to aid this destitute family to avert the shame of this public exhibi tion, between which and tlie poor house there was but a single step for them; but, by threats and loud talk, they drove them from the city, poorer by the amount of their expenses than when theyentered.it.

Several ex-reve nue officers are among those indicted. Congress will adjourn July 15th. Jacobs was confirmed as Attorney of Southern Mississippi. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has written a very sharp official letter to a party in Albany, who, it seems, has recent ly brought a charge against' a merchant in that city of violations of the Internal rev enue laws, which, upon investigation, proved groundless. The letter takes the ground that these self-appointed detectives and voluntary spies who make it a busi ness to bring charges against honest men for technical violations of law, have no claim to be considered other than as dis reputable personages, and administers a very seveie rebuke to the parties in ques tion OHIO. Cincinnati, May 20. —The General Synod of the reformed Presbyterian Church of North America yesterday elected Rev. Dr. McLeod, of New York, Moderator, Rev. Dr. Steele, of Philadelphia, Secretary, and Rev. Woodside, of Brooklyn, Assistant Secretary. On taking the Chair, Dr. McLeod made a short address, alluding to his connection with the Synod as seated clerk for thirty-five years. He looked upon this as a crisis in the history of the re formed Presbyterian Church and hoped the Synod would not be governed by partizan spirit in its deliberations. Reports of Presbyteries were received.

The Ohio and Chicago Presbyteries did not refer to the subject.

The premiums offered indicate full liberality and accom plished discrimination in the several de partments, the Society having applied $15,000 to make the list attractive, in every thing pertaining to agricultural and me chanical industry, art, science and taste. In addition, we note a special premium list of over $1,600, offered by four or five gen tlemen to encourage excellence in agricul tural and art pursuits, forming a very im portant feature in the projected Fair, and one which cannot fail to redound to the success of the exhibition by the increased interest excited among exhibitors. Our own citizens would do well to emulate the liberality of those gentlemen who have en tered so heartily into the effort to make the State Fair a success, and arrange for a valuable and attractive special premium list for our own Fair in October, lest the State Fair should prove the superior mag net in the attraction of competitors and visitors. There is no good reason why Augusta should play second fiddle to At lanta iu this matter, if our merchants and mechanics will put their wits to work lo devise and their hands in their pockets to execute a system of special awards in mat ters pertaining to their respective pursuits, or indeed to the encouragement of the ex hibition of any article calculated to en hance the general attraction of the contem plated exposition in October. We trust this suggestion may- awaken a liberal re sponse among our citizens. A Hostile Meeting of Colored So cieties—Brickbats Trumps. —ln the vi cinity of Dublin Bridge, on Thursday night, between 11 and 12 o’clock, about thirty half grown colored youths, members of the “Rising Sons’’ of—something and the “ Morning Stars of Glory,” ranged their opposing forces to settle a difficulty which had been pending between their pa cific societies, who denounce each other re spectively as the “ White Hats” and “ Black Hats.” Brickbats were freely ex changed, one of which struck Policeman Powell, who attempted to quell the dis turbance. The officer succeeded in arrest ing one of the belligerents, upon whose person was fouud a Spanish dirk about seven inches in length, indicative of appre hension of a sanguinary struggle. The belligerents are reported to have been thoroughly armed. The majority of the offenders will have a hearing before Re corder Crump this morning. Belligerent Tendencies of “Shoo Fly.”— Some days ago a woman iu New York, named Mrs. Murray, brutally assault ed a little girl who was singiDg“ Shoo Fly,” and inflicted injuries upon her person, from the effect of which it is feared she will not recover. Mrs. Walters, the mother of the child, and her sister, rushed to the rescue, when the infuriated woman assaulted them ; it is feared fatally injuring Mrs. Walters. The parties were not acquainted, having never spoken up to the time of this singular and tragic occurrence. Mrs. Murray has been arrested and investigation is now pending before Coroner Rollins. We have long thought that this nonsensical African ditty would provoke a collision, and print this paragraph as a warning against per sistence in the habit of grinding it out in the public thoroughfares. We don't exactly rejoice in the injuries inflicted upon the indiscreet little girl, but must commend Mrs. M. as a woman of good taste. Awful Accident and Horrid Death. —The Savannah News has received the fol lowing particulars of a dreadful accident, resulting in the loss of life ol* Mr. James H. Butler, near Eden, in Effingham county. Mr. Butler, on last Wednesday morning, while adjusting a belt near the circular saw, was thrown or fell from his position upon the saw, which was in full motion at the time. His right arm and right leg were cut off, and being remote from imme diate surgical aid he bled to death in about six hours after the accident. Mr. Butler was identified with the mechanical inter ests of Savannah. He was aged forty years, and leaves a family consisting of a wife and four children. Masonic Festival—An Imposing Dis play.—Next Wednesday, the 25th instant, the Grand Commandery of Knights Tem plar of the State of Georgia will initiate the annual conclave of the order in Macon with a public parade in full uniform, at which all the subordinate coramanderies have been ordered to appear. The display will be novel and imposing, and will con stitute one of the grandest exhibitions ever witnessed in Georgia. A banquet will be given at St. Omer Commandery on the eve ning of the 25th, to which all the Sir Knights present will be invited. Arrest of United States Soldiers.— The police yesterday arrested a couple of United States soldiers in the street, fully charged with benzine, and put them up In the gnard house. Their names were given as W. H. Jacoby and Tom Connors, of the garrison at Warrenton, the former bearing a permit purporting to have been issued by Major F. H. Torbett, granting him leave of absence until Tuesday, 33d Inst. Rain at Last. —After a drouth of seve ral weeks, which has had the most dis couraging effect upon the crops in this section, a timely and beneficial shower fell last night. Northeast Georgia.— This section the State having recently attracted a great deal of attention, we have thought the fol lowing statement as to the elevation, above ocean level, <*f the several points of interest would be worth publication, as well as the reference had to the depth of the several magnificent fells :< ' The Bridge at Athens, above ocean F 1 level, Is about i 000 Currahee Mountain 1,920 Clarksville Court House 1,928 Clayton, Rabun county 2,858 Yonah Mountain ..2,894 The Rock, iu Rabun county .....3,478 Tray Mountain.... .5,018 Tray Mountain is the highest point in Georgia, and is thought to be the loftiest of the Blue Ridge. The chasm of Talula Falls, (properly Tololee), at Rs deepest point is 860 feet perpendicular; the Chat tooga Falls, in Rabun county, are 80 feet down an inclined plain; Toccoa Falls are 185 feet perpendicular; Amicololah Falls, in Lumpkin county, are a succession of falls, the highest being 60 feet in a distance of 400 yards. The whole fall is 400 feet. They are 17 miles west of Dahlonega. Talula, or Talolee, signifies grand, terrible* magnifi cent; Tuccoa, ojuToficoa, mpans beautiful; Amicalolah is a oomjpound of ami, water, and calolah, rumbling or rolling. “ Toting Fair.”— The Charleston ‘News has this to say of municipal representa tion ; Os the forty delegates chosen to repre sent Charleston in the June Convention, sixteen are colored men. The Reform Mass Meeting had thirteen colored Vice-Presi dents and two colored Secretaries. This is “ toting fair” from the start. We cannot so understand it In one sense at least — for how can colored Republicans be rated “ fair ?” Death of a Savannah Alderman.— Alderman D. T. Scranton, of Savannah, died iu that city on Thursday. The de ceased was a native of Connecticut, but had resided in Savannah since 1827. Thir ty years ago he engaged in the wholesale grocery business with the firm of Scran ton, Johnston & Cos., in which he earned success. Since the war he has been a member of the firm of Scranton, Smith & Cos. Too Much for One Man.— The Wash ington correspondent of the Savannah News relates that an enterprising New York newspaper recently sent a reporter to ascertain what Congressmen kept dis tresses ; how many; at what cost; where these women were lodged; how dressed ; their appearance, etc. The reporter re ■itohined for some time, hut found the task too much for him, and has returned to New York with an empty note book. Spring Chickens. —There is a marvel lous scarcity of this article in market; scarcely enough could be gathered to make a breakfast for a healthy circuit-rider. Newly-weaned command forty cents. Did the cholera so thin out the crop, or are country friends too busy to bring them to market? Daily Sun.— This new Atlanta daily has made its third visit to our sanc tum. It is of good feature, and essays to run the independent political schedule. Its columns evince talent, energy and ac tivity. Mr. A. R. Watson, formerly of the Era, is understood to be the principal edi tor, while Messrs. Rainwater and Lumpkin preside over the local department. It is published by Messrs. A. M. Speights & Cos. at $5 per annum. Secrecy Preferred. —Mr. Phillips, of Echols county, one of the committee ap pointed to investigate the affairs of the State Road, publishes a card, stating that the committee has refused to act in open session, and ordered that the doors of the committee room be kept closed. The ses sions of the committee are to be held at the State Road depot. Potatoes and Squashes.— The Irish po tato crop in this section indicates a failure. The best samples' we have seen do not ex ceed the size of hen eggs, and are sold at 20 cents per quart. Squashes made their appearance first on Monday. They are di minutive and. gnarly, and command 75 cents per dozen. Recorder’s Court. —Jacob Richmond was yesterday arraigned for violation of the 16th section—keeping cellar door open after hours. Dismissed on payment of cost. W. H. Wheeler, for violation of the 18th section. Dismissed on payment of cost. No Prosecution.— I The case brought by O. P. Meister against Carrie Williams has been compromised, the latter agreeing to drop the matter by the accused surrender ing the gold watch and S2OO of the $450. Died in Jail.— Pinckney Johnson (col ored), imprisoned in jail, charged with bur glary and liorse-stealing from Mr. Thomas Wynne, at Bel Air, died in jail yesterday, from general debility and close confine ment. River News. —The steamer Carrie ar rived at 7:30, p. m., Thursday. The river at 3, p. m., yesterday registered 5 feet 6 inches. The Georgia Investigation—Govern or Bullock Examined—Rich Develop ments in Prospect.— The Judiciary Com mittee of the Senate met this morning and had Bullock, of Georgia, before them. His examination lasted two hours. All parties are very reticent on the subject, though it is known that the object in calling Bullock here lias reference to a number of very re markable proceedings, in which it is stated that he took a leading part. Mr. Bailey, of the Congressional Globe , was also up in re gard to the price of printing. Bullock’s testimony, it is understood, so far, does not by any means clear up a variety of al legations against his career in this city. It is stated that the testimony before the committee will be startling, and ip some respects conclusive. It will show, it is said, that an effort was made toinfluence legislation. If the testimony be given in full, it is stated that the great American people will find that the great American Senate, with all its attempts at dignity, has been considered a fit subject to be tempted by the lucre of a set of adventurers.
