Sixteen joint stock companies, forty-four
banks, thirty-six industrial companies, eighteen
building societies, one insurance company and
one transit company became bankrupt by the
financial crisis in Vienna last May.
Gen. Beauregard has recently received a let
ter from a representative of the Argentine
Confederation, tendering him. in the name of
President S' rmiento, the position of military
engineer, for the purpose of making a recon
noissauce on the river l.a Plata, with the view
of establishing a line of defense.
The Detroit Fret Press : “Come, now.
lets say no more about Laura Fair. When one
remembers that it was a lawyer she shot the
crime is robbed of its rough edges.” All that
tee ever blamed her for was that she shot a
lawyer when she could Just as easily have shot
a carpet-bag Congressman.
Some of the retail merchants of Washington
complain that their trade has been injured by
the baggage of a certain "accomplir.ln.-d diplo
matist recently returned from Europe.” T .at
baggvge consisted of some twenty-odd trunks,
which those merchants think were filled with
fancy dry goods, but, of course, tiiey contained
merely the records of the diplomatist's official
career abroad.
Avery lively effervescence seems to have
arisen of late between the white and black
Itadicals hi Alabama upon the occasion of pub
lic meetings to initiate the campaign. In a!l
the important towns of the Htate these meet
ings have frothed over and burst off the lid of
the pot. Either biack or whites have seceded,
and tin Democratic prints seem to thick that
they will not amalgamate any more.
'ihe Albany (S. Y) Argus, speaking of
Grant's financial manifesto, says: It is a
confession that the Administration cannot get
the country ofT the financial rocks upon which
it has allowed it to drift, for the reason that it
lias no knowledge of the coast, and no convic
tion as to the true way to get off from the
breakers. The finances of the country are
hopelessly stranded.
'lhe Union Spring /juhjir is informed that
the negroes of Bullock comity w 11 require all
white candidates seeking their votes to sign a
paper endorsing the civil rights bill. That's
tint way to fix. them everywhere. After they
sign such a paper, the white people will know
exactly how to fix their social status. The ne
groes propose that it shall he done publicly, so
as to prevent any denial.
Alphonse Kaw writes in the Figaro:—
‘•Franco itt in greater danger now than she was
at the epoch of the I’nissian invasion.” “Wo
hoo around us only greed and appetites; there
is no longer any question of duty.” “France
is a country it is no longer a fatherland.”
•‘Or rather, it is a gambling table on which men
play with loaded dice and marked cards.”
•'There are people who inhabit France—there
are no longer any Frenchmen.”
The New York Post permits one of its writers
to sell it such twaddle as this about hydropho
bia : “Wo shall watch with some curiosity for
the death of any of the persons bitten. The
name of hydrophobia is so constantly abused
that we arc very sin ptical about the existence j
of the disease in the greater number of the |
reported cases.” An intelligent dog, if it j
should meet him. should bite the head from a
man guilty of writing such stuff.
The cause of cremation appears to ho rapid
ly gaining ground in Germany. The merits of
»’the pew system of disposing of dead bodies
are shortly -to be tested by practical experiment
in Haxony, t]ie two principal towns of which, !
Dresden and'Leipzig,- have offered to legalize
it as an optional course, supposing its advo
* cates can practically make good their assertion i
.In its favor. A furnace for cremation is now;
* actually in process of construction by Friedrich !
'Diemens, a civil engineer. Its cost is estimated
"sat 5,000 marks, or i11,250, and it is calculated ;
that the complete combustion of a human
corpse will take about an hour.
1,0, tlm poor Ifidian, whose untutored mind 1
doesn’t understand the ways of Congress and
lobbies. The Ghoctaw claims for £2,300,000,
the price of ten million acres of Mississippi
land, ceded to the United States as long ago as
Igj3 l, was tint subject of a lively discussion in
' the Hoiiho recently. Mr. Hate and Mr. Speer I
attacked it vigorously, Mr. llalo asserting that
a raging lobby had boon impelling it. and that
this lobby had been operating in VYa-hington, j
Baltimore. Philadelphia, New York and else
where. There seeuis to be a disposition to get :
the money to the Choctaws without the aid of j
middle men. but lobbies are powerful workers j
where more than two millions is to bo handlod. !
"Col. 1,. M. Temple, who, broke his leg five j
vveoks ago. w hile putting on anew hoot, in his i
office on Deadcrick street,” says the Nashville j
Manner, “had the bandages removed recently j
by direction of Dr. Eve, his leg having knitted
thoroughly together. East Sunday lio met
with another remarkable ac blent. While
simply turning over in bed be, broke bis leg
again, .about live inches below tho former
fracture. It would seem that his system lias
become so thoroughly depleted that ail the
enduring qualities of Ids bones are gone, and
there is scarcely anything loft but a chalky
substance, lie is now pronocunced to ho in a
very critical condition.”
Mr. James Lick's intention to have tho
Pacific astronomical observatory supplied with
“a powerful teles-ope superior to and more
powerful than any telescope yet made,” ought
to bo accomplished if money can do it. The
sum ho lias donated for tlio purpose (47(10,(MtO)
uxceods by all parallel tho amount that has
ever yet boon donated to tho accomplishment
of a like purpose. Tho great telescope at tho
Washington Observatory, one of tho most
powerful and perfect in existence, cost but
410,000. With 4700,000 at command for the
purpose there will be no limit, but tho skill of
tho best opticians in tho world, to the size,
perfectness and power of tho instrument to ho
constructed by Mr. Lick’s order. Whether,
indeed, tho whole sum oan be advantageously
used in tho construction of a single instru
ment is a question that will take a great deal
t>f scientific skill to satisfactorily demonstrate,
A return recently presented to the British
Parliament shows that one thousand more sea -
men were drowned last year than in 1872. For ;
every merchant seaman who died at soa. or
abroad, from diseaso or natural causes, two
others were drowned. The risks of being
drowned were fourteen times that of mon-of- ;
war's men in 1872. For every man por thou- |
sand of tho home population who died a vio
lent death, eighteen seamen were killed or j
drowned, and one more put an end to his own !
life, or died from “ unknown cause." Including t
those who lost tin ir lives from gun exercise ,
wounds and in action with pirates, do., there
were two and a half violent deaths per thou-j
sand nr tho lloyal navy in 1872, as against nine- i
teen violent or “unknown” deaths in tho mer- j
oantile marine last voar. Yet while 2.231 sea- '
men were drowned by shipwreck, no less than !
1.032 wore washed overboard or otherwise
drowned without the loss of the ship.
lire C.issiar gold mines, situated in British
territory, between which and the si a lies the
long strip of Alaska Territory belonging to
the United States, and stretching southeast,
are attracting an unusual ruah from the adja
cent British settlements. Two gentlemen who j
left the diggings April 24 reported that when
they left two hundred men or more were in the
diggings. With the ground and creek frozen,
aud the enow two feet deep, the gold hunters
wi ro still able to do well A party on • Deeee
Creek thawed the ground, washed it in a
rocker, and made from four to ten ounces a
day. Other parties were waking fi\ m 430 to
$35 [>er day by the same process. Anew
creek, with an unusual promise of gold, had
boon found, and great excitemeut ensued.
It is estimated that midsummer will find five
thousand men ita that region. Among those
flocking to the diggings are some Chinese,
who are shamefully treated, and are threaten
ed with violence if they enter the diggings.
Three scientific men . f Italy have proposed
methods for burning the dead, hut none of
them liave seemed calculated to carry out tho
full idea that cremation involves. The Ger
man method, of which Professor Beciaiu. of
Leipsie, is the inventor, scorns (fie best yet
proposed. The system is a somewhat compli
cated one. but it is said to do its work well.—
'flie Professor says that ‘'no other method
treats the* body in such a simple aud pious
aiamier. Before the assembled mourners the
corpse is lowered into a smoothly-walled room,
where no other objects can be found. Nothing
touches it but the air. heated to a w hite-glow
intensity, the oxygen of which combines with
the at itits of the organtic structure. Only the
ashes remain, and these can be gathered up
unmixed with foreign * substances The cost
of burning a body bv this process is about two
dollars. The architect. Siemens, is engaged in
constructing a cremation oven according to
this model in Dresden. aud if the prospective
trials prove'satisfactory Ihe communes, both
, of Dresden and Leipsie. have declared their
readiness to adopt the system. —Poston Post.

description of this marvellous man. given by a

cannot explain the method by which he solves
the most intricate mathematical problems, ex

“away cu beyond the books.” The correspond

difficult questions—such as might have puzzled
tho most learned arithmeticians- and he gave
the correct answers almost in a moment. When
a problem that has never been answered was
presented to him. he said at once. “It can't be
told.” This queer genius is rude aud illite
rate: he travels around the country fixing up
the accounts of tax collectors, fanners aud
dealers. A wholesale firm in Kansas City sent
for him to adjust their books, and he did in
one day au amo mt of work that ten clerks
could not have done. He refuses to take the

COTTON,
Business of the Past AVtck.
The cotton market during the past
commercial week has ruled dull and
nominal, with light offerings. There
was a falling off of a half eeut in the
price of middling during the week.
The total sales during the week were
988 bales, an increase of 138 bales, when
compare ! with the same week last year.
The receipts were 282 bales, against 660
same week last year. The total receipts
the present season to date, foot np 197,-
836 bales, against 175,202 to June -20,
1873. The shipments during the week
were 970 bales; same week last year, 939
bales. The stock on baud yesterday, by
actual count, was 11,710 bales.
TIIE WEATHER.
Report of the Chief Signal Officer.
We have received from the chief officer
of the United States Signal Service his
monthly weather report for May, from
which we gather the following items:
Solar aud lunar halos have been very
frequently reported, but appear not to
have possessed such interesting charac
teristics as those of April.
The lunar halo of the 22d was very
generally visible throughout the North
west, the Lake region and the Ohio and
Tennessee valleys. A solar halo was re
corded on the 23d at numerous stations
in the Middle A lantic States and in
New York, and a lunar halo in the even
ing of the same day in the Middle and
Eastern States.
The early appearance of insects inju
rious to vegetation is very generally
noted, among which may he mentioned,
in West Virginia aud Kentucky, Hie so
called Colorado potato bug. Jn Western
New York, myriads of small flies.
Unusually bright meteors have been
reported on the following dates: The
Bth, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th,
20th, 21st and 25th.
Severe liail storms appear to have
been unusually frequent. The most in
structive report on the subject comes
from the summit of Pike’s Peak, where,
on the 14th, large balls of hail fell, com
posed of soft white snow, without any
nucleus. Remarkably large hail is re
ported from Pennsylvania on the 20th,
and from Mississippi bn the 25th.
(3.) Special Hirer Floods. —The river
flood of most importance during this
month has been that which devastated
tho Valleys of the Lower Mississippi,
Arkansas, White, Red and other rivers.
The crevasses on the Mississippi may be
classified as follows: Between Mem
phis and the Louisiana Btate line were
four large crevasses and several smaller
ones, opening into the State of Missis
sippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. South
of the Louisiana State line, and almost
•exclusively opening into that State,
yvere fourteen large and nine small cre
vasses. The total length of breaks in
levees exceeds twelve miles. The total
extent of bottom lands overflowed ex
ceeds 25,000 square miles, The over
flowed land in Louisiana was confined
to a region of 20 to 25 miles broad, im
mediately adjoining the western bank
of the river, and spreading out over at
least one-half of the Delta properly so
called; the entire length of the inun
dated region, in a north and south di
rection, being nearly 400 miles.
Br.onns on a Pkufendicular.—Blobbs
is a special enemy to cats, and cats of
tiro male persuasion especially. He
thinks that Council should appoint a
policeman whose duty it shall be to
capture all four legged Thomases found
serenading in the wee small hours of the
night, and since a recent occurrence
solemnly declares that this shall be made
the great question in the next municipal
election. No man shall receive his vote
who is not an open and declared enemy
of the'entire feliue race. Blobbs’ feel
ings, in fact, are at fever heat, and he
wonders that his hair has not turned
grey from the intensity of his emotions.
Blobbs lives in a sumptuous apartment
in the third story of a wooden palace,
lie sleeps the sleep of innocence ru this
sky parlor, and dreams that lie dwells
in marble halls. But his blissful thoughts
were rudely changed the other night
and he can bo happy never again.—
Whilo calmly reclining upon his
couch Blobbs was suddenly startled
by an unearthly yell. A fierce and
painted savage glided into the apart
ment, raised his tomahawk and com
menced the war dance, singing in dis
cordant notes the death song. Blobbs
•expostulated, and begged the visitor to
remember that his privacy could not
lawfully bo disturbed. Every man’s
house was his castle. But still the
fiendish notes were sounded, aud
Blobbs’ stubby hair stood on end, and his
tongue cleaved to the roof of his mouth.
Finally, with a horrible yell, as if all the
devils had broken loose, the savage
sprang at Blobbs, seized his hair and ,
Blobbs awoke, to find that a ma-le
feline of lingo dimensions was wailing in !
dulcet notes on tho shed roof beneath i
his window. Wliat Blobbs said is need
less to mention. He didn’t sing a hymn
nor bless the dear serenader, but with a
desperation born of the emergency of
the occasion, seized the poker and saun
tered to tlie window. Thomas was
still assiduously sounding his melodious
notes, when Blobbs leaned far out,
raised the poker on high and hurled it
at tho musical beast. The cat suddenly
had business elsewhere, and Blobbs,
loosing his balance, fell to the roof be
neath. An old lady in ihe next house
thinking that the bold burglar was on
the rampage, yelled for the police, and
bombarde i Blobbs with old slippers and
sundry articles of female wear with the
energy of despair. Blobbs didn’t say
much but lie thought a good deal, and
visions of that vivacious female and the
absent Thomas floating iu air at the end
of a rope passed through his imagina
tion. The squalls of his bombarder at
last brought a guardian of the night to
the spot, and Blobbs, in scanty garb,
was escorted to the calaboose and lock
ed up as a murderous burglar. Blobbs
was dismissed the next morning with a
mild reminder to “do so no more,” and
after paying costs went on his way a
soured man.
Winn Manufacturing Pay ?—Thi* it
a question which is frequently asked by
persons who have not taken the trouble
to investigate the workings of institu
tions already established. A little re
flection would convince even the most
skeptical that there can be but one side
to the question—especially in this sec
tion. Os all enterprises iu operation
siuce the war, none have made more re
munerative and steady returns to their
stockholders than manufactories, and
those of cotton goods in particular.—
Notably is this the ease in and near Au
gusta. The Augusta Factory, the
Granitevillo Factory, and the Lang
ley Mills, have all done a splen
did business, haviug, besides paying
handsome dividends to their stock
holders, accumulated a large surplus as
a working capital. The mills are com
plete in all respects and the goods equal
those of a similar class manufactured
anywhere. The increase iu water power
in Augusta offers facilities for the estab
lishrn. ut of new enterprises afforded by
few other places. With all the advantages
put forth by our city, we feel assured
that new enterprises will ere long spriug
into being. The recent visitors—dele
gates to the Cotton Exchange Conven
tion—expressed, themselves as much
pleased aud impressed with Augusta as
a location for cotton factories, and com
ing as they did from all sections of the
country, it is to be presumed that much
good to the manufacturing interests of
the city w ill result from their visit.
Bishop Gross in Baltimore.—The
Baltimore Gazette, of last Wednesday,
the 17th, says: Three years ago the
twenty-fifth anniversary of Pope Pius
IX was celebrated in this citv and else
where with processions, illuminations
and festivities. The celebration had the
more force from the fact that the pres
ent incumbent of the Papal chair had
been the only Pope to attain the twenty
five “years of St. Peter,” as Bishop of
Rome. This, iu Catholie minds, was
looked upon as so auspicious a fact as to
excite their enthusiasm, aud to call
; forth the display of their joy and inter
est throughout the civilized world, the
I Catholics of America not beiug behind
1 their European brethren in their mani
festations. To-day is the twenty-eighth
anniversary of Pope Pius IX, but as
nothiug is specially attached to that fact
more than is attached to ordinary recur
ring anniversaries, the celebration of
ihe day will not be marked by auy great
demonstration. jPontifieial High Mass
will be celebrated at St. Alphonses'
Church by Bishop Gross, of Savannah,
I and High Masses will be celebrated in
other churches. At the masses allusion
will be made to the anniversary, and
prayer will be offered up by the faithful
for the Pope, the more earnest, doubt
less, from the fact that his health is re
ported feeble, and the clbse of his years
is clouded with troubles and perplexi
ties. A Te Deum will be sung next
Sunday iu all the German Catholic
Churches.
The Cons Crop in Richmond County.
—A gentleman who lias just returned
from a tour through Richmond county,
reports that the corn crop is in splendid
condition. A much larger area than last
year has been planted, and the great ma
jority of the farmers will have enough
corn for their own use and some to
spare.
The wheat crop in Greene county is
not turning out so well as was expected.
The corn crop looks well and the yield
will be the largest for some years. Cot
ton is small, but looks well and is in
good condition.

Sentence—Capital Gossip.

Atlanta, Ga., June 16, 1874.
Cochrane's Reply.
Judge Loehrane was this afternoon
the centre of a group of gentlemen from
different parts of the State, who were
laughing at hisanecdotes aud witticisms.
After a while one of the party made bold
to inquire of the Judge in regard to his
Congressional prospects. “Well,” said
the Judge, “1 will answer yourinquiries
by narrating an anecdote of old Judge
S , of Muscogee, a notorious wag
and eccentric magistrate of his day.
Judge S , in company with a number
of the most influential citizens of his
community, met at the District Court
ground one day to determine whom they
would support for Justioeof the Peace of
their Militia District. When these solons
of the district had assembled Judge S—
arose and said: ‘Gentlemen, we have
met here to determine upon some suit
able person to run for Magistrate of this
District, and, to make a long matter
short, I think I am about the only
person in the district fully prepared anil
qualified to discharge the duties of this
office, and I hereby declare this meeting
adjourned sine die.’ And, said Judge
Loehrane, he was elected without oppo
sition.”
“Well,” said a bystander, “we are al
lowed to infer that you intend we shall
apply this story to yourself.”
“Ah,” said Judge Loehrane, with a
significant smile, “I'm telling anecdotes
now.”
Anecdote ot Judge Hopkins.
John T. Hopkins, Judge of the Su
perior Court of the Atlanta Circuit, has
the reputation of being one of the sever
est and most rigorous Judges on the
judicial bench in Georgia. The follow
ing anecdote of him illustrates not only
his vigor and severity, but his ready
discernment of justice : A negro had
been found guilty of burglary in the
night time, and had been summoned
before the Judge to hear sentence pro
nounced. Judge Hopkins delivered a
short lecture to tho culprit, and con
cluded by sentencing him to five years
in the penitentiary, when the negro’s
counsel interposed saying: “May it
please your Honor, I wish to intercede
and ask mercy for the prisoner. I learn
that lie has suffered much abuse during
his recent confinement iu jail, having
been severely whipped on several occa
sions, and .” Judge Hopkins : “Mr.
Sheriff, yAu will have the jailer sum
moned before me immediately.”
The jailer promptly made his appear
ance iu the greatest alarm, fearful that
the irate Judge would inflict some terri
ble punishment as a penalty for his
cruel treatment of the prisoner at the
bar.
Judge Hopkins : “Mr. Jailer, nhat
lias been the behavior and character of
the prisoner during his confinement in
jail ?”
Jailer: .“May it please your Honor,
he has been rather impudent and in
subordinate.”
Judge Hopkins : “ nave you ever
whipped the prisoner ?”
Jailer : “Yes, sir.”
Judge Hopkins : “How often ?”
Jailer : “Three times, I believe, sir.”
Judge Hopkins (addressing liis re
marks to the prisoner.) : “ I add ten
additional years to your confinement. I
sentence you to fifteen years imprison
ment in the penitentiary.”
Tt is said that tho negro’s lawyer has
never yet been able to see the justice of
that decision.
An Exploded Report.
About six weeks ago a report was cir
culated in this city that Mr. Samuel
It. Hoyle, Tax Collector of Fulton coun
ty, was a defaulter to a large amount?
Mr. Hoyle immediately appeared be
fore Judge Hopkins and demanded that
a committee be appointed to investigate
his hooks and accounts with the Comp
troller-General and County Treasurer.
The grand jury immediately appointed
three of the most influential business
men of the city, who entered into an ex
animation, and after a thorough investi
gation reported to the grand jury that
Mr. Hoyle, so far from being a defaulter,
was the creditor of the State and county
to the amount of about §3,500. It ap
pears now that the report was started
with malicious intent to injure the repu
tation of the present tax collector, with
the view to damaging his prospects in
the coming election. The grand jury
made their report to the Judge to day
approving and sustaining tlie report of
the committee of citizens.
The Daily Virtuous Herald.
In this morning's issue of the Herald,
of this city, appears a short editorial
declaring the reports that the excitement
in regard to the gold mines of Georgia
were sensational to be false. Your
correspondent at the time he spoke of
the rumors had some misgivings as to
tlieir truth, but the pompous burst of
virtuous indignation from the Herald
leads your correspondent to suspect that
there must he some foundation for these
rumors. The alarcity with which the
virtuous Herald proclaims these reports
smacks of interest as much as it does of
indignation. This circumstance, how
ever, is the only reason your correspon
dent has for supposiug that any one
contemplates a speculation in unprofit
able mines. Were such the case one
could only wonder at the brazen effron
tery of the unscrupulous speculator in
attempting to advertise his dilapidated
mines through the columns of the virtu
ous Herald, whose reputation for piety,
dignity and veracity (as well as vo-racity)
is the secret of its prosperity. Apropos
of this subject,your correspondent would
remark that parties are waking extensive
preparations to commence mining ope
rations in the gold regions of Georgia
on a large scale. It is confidently as
serted that gold abouuds there in quan
tities such as liave never been dreamed
of.

[SFECLYL CORRESPONDENCE CHRONICLE
AND SENTINEL, j
Atlanta, June 19, 1874.
The Radicals and Their Half-Brother
Loehrane.
The Republicans in this District have
again nominated Freeman for Congress.
The Nominating Convention assembled
yesterday in Griffin. Before any action
was taken by the Convention Mr. Wm.
Markham, of this city, recently o: New
York, withdrew his name in favor A Mr.
Freeman. A Committee on Nomination
was then constituted, which returned
with majority and miuority report*, the
majority recommending Freeman and
the minority Mr. Thomas G. YV. Cres
well (a contractor and builder), cf this
city. The majority report was adopted
by a vote of seventeen to nine. A motion
was then made to make the nomination of
Mr. Freeman unanimous, which was lost.
Mr. Freeman has accepted the nomina
tion, aud now the question on every per
son’s lips is, “What will Lochrane do ?”
Your correspondent asked Judge L. yes
lerday what would be his course now,
and he replied that he would remain
quiet for a while. Judge Lochnne,
however, stated on the street yesterday
afternoon that Freeman would probiblv
decline the race after a few weeks, and
leave him in possession of the fi?ld.
The District Democratic politicians in
dulge iu a great deal of speculation in
regard to Loehraue's probable policy.
Loehrane aud Freeman are brothere-in
law, and there are quite a number of
geutlemen in this city who believe
that Loehrane and Freemun under
stand each other, and that when
it is too late to put another nominee in
the field Freeman, with the consent of
the Radical Executive Committee, will
decline the race in favor of Judge Loch
rane. If this be not the programme,
they say, why was the Nominating Con
vention called at sueh an early diy y
Why does Loehrane so persistently op
pose his own brother-in-law? Why toes
he predict that that brother-in-law will
decline the race ? And ‘ why did he
positively refuse to submit his name to
the Nominating Convention? On the
other hand there are other Democrats
who place no sort of faith in this hy
pothesis. They say that Freeman left
Washington Oity, came Uqme, submitted
his name to the Nominating Convention,
was nominated, and formally accepted
thy nomination; aud he would be aa.mg
in bad faith to his party* to decline the
race under these circumstances. In this
view your correspondent coincides.—
Lochrane'B only hope was in an informal
agreement among the Republicans to
support him. That having failed he
despairs of the support of the Republi
can party, unless he can induce Free
man to decline this race. This at present
seems unreasonable. It would certainly
be a startling precedent. Lockraue
himself is probably aware of this; and it
is believed now that he hopes to be
Taken Up by tlie Democrats !
This conclusion is derived from numer
ous remarks made by him yesterday and
during the past week, in the presence of
leading and influential Democrats of
this city. Addressing a prominent
Democrat, ho says : “I am no nir.re a
Republican than yon are. I have never,
on any occasion, affiliated mysqlf with
that party. I have never yet been in a
Republican caucus or convention. On
the contrary, I have been always with
the Democrats. Iran for Congress once
on the Democrat :c ticket. True, I ac
cepted the nomination of the Democrats
with the distinct understanding that I
was an advocate of reconstruction; not
ftiat I considered that policy right and
just, but because I thought it folly to
resist it.” The Judge also let fall an
other remark that excites the suspicion
that lie is tampering with the Demo
crats. He gave it as his opinion that
the Democrats of this district two
years ago placed in the field
the strongest man (Democrat) they
could find ; yet he was defeated.—
The inference he expected to be drawn
doubtless was that in the next race the
Democrats, in order to succeed, must
adopt a man who can not only control
all the Democratic votes, but who can
likewise secure many votes from the op
position. Everything considered it is
very reasonable to suppose that Judge
Loehrane covets a nomination bv the
Democrats—something which he will not
be apt to get. In one of my former let
ters I stated that this district had a
Democratic majority. I was sustained
in the assertion by the prevailing im
pression among the Democrats. I was,
however, informed yesterday by agentle
man, who assisted in tlie re-apportioning
of the State, that there is a majority of
Republicans. Houston county aloue has
a Republican majority of 2,200. Despite
these odds, however, we are sure of suc
cess.. Houston county lias been depopu
lated in the past two years, and the most
vigilant precaution will be taken to pre
vent “repeating” by the negroes.
In the Ninth.
It is generally understo and that Mr.
Bell (present member) will be a candi
date in the Ninth District; and a gen
tleman well acquainted with his pros
pects said that lie would enter the race ■
with Morgan,Gwinnett, Forsyth,Gilmer,
Union and Lumpkin counties as good as
pledged to him. My informant who
some time since said that Mr. Hill
would probably carry Walton county
seems to liave not been well informed.
I have since noticed that Walton belongs
to the Sixth (Blount’s) District. It is
said that Hon. Joshua Hill, of Morgan,
will run as a Republican candidate iu
the Ninth; and will obtain no mean sup
port from tlie mountainjdistricts.
lion. John H. James for Governor.
I learn from unquestionable authority
that Hon. John 11. James, once Mayor
of Atlanta, and now banker and broker
in this city, will be placed in nomination
for Governor att.be proper time. His
friends say that he will be a stronger
man than either Hardeman or Colquitt,
who are now so prominently before the
public; stronger than the former be
cause Hardeman is too anxious for the
place, and stronger than the latter be
cause Colquitt, though probably popu
lar with the Patrons of Husbandry at
the present time, will probably have lost
much strength and influence in that
quarter by the time the campaign is at
hand. They think that probably liis
project of establishing a line of direct
trade on a subscription of §IO,OOO will
fail and bring him into disrepute among
the class of people whose favor he now
courts so successfully.
Tlie Atlanta Custom House.
Notwithstanding the unexpected op
position offered to the passage of the
bill appropriating §350,000 for a Custom
House iu Atlanta, a telegram was receiv
ed to-day stating that the House of Rep
resentatives had passed the bill. Judge
Loelirane and Mayor Spencer, it is said,
will proceed to Washington to-night to
stand by it aud support, it in the Senate,
and it is hoped that Atlanta will be able
yet to furnish employment to some of
her idle workmen, before the Summer is
gone.

City Improvements. —Messrs.[Pendle
ton & Boardman are constructing, on
Kolloek street,, between the second and
third levels of the canal and immediate
ly in front of their old machine shop, a
substantial and commodious building,
to be used as an iron foundry and ma
chine works. The building is three
stories in height, one hundred and
seven feet long and forty-five feet wide.
The first story, or ground floor, will be
be used as the boiler room and cotton
press manufactory, the second ns tlie
machine room proper, and the third as
the pattern room. The roof of the
structure is of netal, brought out from
Philadelphia, and put up by Mr. Gainey,
of this city. A brick culvert runs un
derneath the entire length of the build
ing aud conveys the water from the sec
ond to the third level. Tlie firm have
atjhcir command sixty-liorse power of
water. They liave now under considera
tion a project to utilize so much of this
as they do not need by erecting a build
ing on the south side of the second
level, if they can effect satisfactory ar
rangements for the purchase of the
land, and renting it out for manufactu
ring purposes. A party from the North
has already spoken to the firm in refer
ence to the matter, desiring to enter into
tlie manufacture of cotton batting iu
this city.
Pendleton & Boardman sold last year
eighty-eight cotton presses manufac
tured by themselves and think they will
do eqnally as well the present season.—
They are now casting tlie pulleys, hang
ings, &c., for Messrs. Jas. T. Mouacli &
Cos., of whose factory, on Marbury
street, reference was made some time
since. The firm are now enabled to
make pulleys which formerly cost ten
dollars each for three dollars and a half.
The lot, which the firm purchased
from the Harrison estate last November,
and the building: now in coarse of con
struction. will cost about ten tliousand
dollars.
Messrs. J. T. Monach & Cos. are ra
pidly completing tlieir arrangements for
starting their factory, and we under
stand that it will be put in operation iu
a very short time. The machinery is all
jof the most improved styles. We learn
i that the establishment will be devoted
' to the manufacture of cotton batting
i and wadding.
We understand that Messrs. Russell &
l Simmons contemplate enlarging their
factory to a considerable extent. They
have been very successful, and liave
realized a handsome profit on tho capi
tal invested. Their orders for rope,
twine and yarns are numerous aud from
all parts of the- country. They have no
difficulty in selling all the goods they
can manufacture.
It is said that an extensive steam
laundry is soon to be put in operation
iu this city by a man of means aud ex
perience.
These evidences of the increase of
manufacturing enterprises are gratify
ing indications of the prosperity of our
city. Now that the canal enlargement
is about completed, we feel assured that
capital will look more and more towards
these branches of industry and add to
the wealth and population of the city.
!• Sewing Machine War A Bubble
Burst.—There is quite an interesting
newspaper war now waging between the
1 agents of the Singer and Howe Machine
Companies at Atlanta, by which it ap
pears that the Howe Company, through
i J. B. Scarratt, who sometimes styles
himself “attorney,” proposed by the
way of a dodge to enable them to get off
their hands a large number of old style
and half worn machines, to build a fac
tory in that city, but modestly (?) asks
the Atlantese to contribute one hundred
thousand dollars ! ! toward the enter
prise. The Gate City folks failed to see
the great boon about to be conferred
upon the city, and responded nix. But
Mr. G. W. Leonard, who represents the
Singer Manufacturing Company in that
citv, in a communication published in
the’Atlanta Herald, most effectually
pricks the sham bubble of the Howe’s
I “attomev,” and in the close of a para
| graph in'the letter referred to, speaking
as to the possibility of his company
: erecting a factory in Atlanta when occa
sion requires, says, “the resolution once
formed, they ( the Singar Company) will
not insist upon a donation of the site or
any subscription to thestock as prelimi
nary requisites to its erection. That s
the way to talk business. — Montgomery

the shape of imitations, hearing various names,
now and then attempt a glimmering competi
