claims that by it a ship can attain a speed

and J. B. Clement. It ia a weekly of good

and full of interesting matter—altogether
quits creditable to Camming, whioh is a
handsome and thrifty little town under

Tsana was a big row among tbo no
gross at the meeting of the 10th Ward
Badioal Club of New Orleans on Tues
day. They quarreled among themselves,
split into factions, and “told tales out of
school" with utmost freedom. Among
other things, eertain members of the
Kellogg Legislature were charged by oth
er negroes with having taken their seats,
though defeated by 1000 votes—a obarge
not at all new, and not lsoking proof to
sstablleh it beyond oavil, but still upheld
by the united Badioal party of Louisiana
until this bust-up. Pinobbaok was on
hand trying to restore harmony, but his
iafluanoe is evidently on the wane.
V. F. Wilson Uisionxd.—A resigna
tion on aeoouut of ill health would seem
to be a very proper and considerate
course for any public officer to pursue
who baa important official duties to per
form and is phyeioally unable to perform
them. Bat of ell high officials, the Yioe
President of the United States is the
functionary least likely to be embarrassed
ia this way. Ilia is a position of honor
merely, with only possible contingencies
that oan impose on him duties taxing his
phyeioal powers. It may be said, indeed,
that tha ohief purpose and importance of
the office is that remote contingency—to
have ready for the emergency a man
alsctad by and acceptable to the people to
assume the offioe of President in oase of
the death of the incumbent. That con
tingency does not appear at all probable
now, and therefore feeble health appears
to be a feeble exouse for Mr. Wilson’s
resignation. Wo cannot repress the sus
picion that it is the anticipation of pro
bable politioal contingencies, of whioh be
has better information than the people
generally, that iuduces Vice President
Wilson at this particular time to sever his
partnership in tho Grant Administration.
Tbs venerable Dr. Asbbol Smith, of
Texas,most be one of the must daring men

He oommuniostes to the New Orleans

tha bite for the good that he oould do by
proving the virtures of a certain cure.
Ha trod on the snake in the dark, and
oould tell by its vigorous contortions that
it was a very large one, though he does

for every expression of good-will and de

cation with ne. We thaok you for every
denunciation of wrong and bullyiam,

But, even if the Booth were not so situ

would have written, as I oould do, to

of trying—irrespective of every personal

seemed jost. Had politioal ambition been

with a distinction granted to bat few of

Those who have read the Esquibxb for

I would pay the South for her slaves now,
(we were all willing to do it in March,
1805). I would pension the Southern
wounded soldiers, and the widows and
orphans of the Confederate dead; I would
decorate the grave* in oommon and on the
fields made historio by American valor; I
would raise monomania to the Americau
soldiers without distinction of section ; I
would destroy every sectional relic of the
war, and bury the battle-flags with the
brave fellows who bore them, and melt
the oannon to make bronsee for their
fallen leaders; I would destroy the Be-
poblioau and Demooratio partiee,

the war will be a lever to sleet bad
men to offioe, and to keep alive aeotional
hate. This I wonld do apart from perso
nal feeling, bad I the power, in order to
give every section an equal interest in

wise, one-sided legislation now prevents.
As it would be impossible to disfranchise
the ignorant, I wonld mako education

are cheaper than jails. Intelligence I
would make a qualification for jurors, and
judges should be appointed for life. But
these reforms, though yet to come, have
no party organized to support them.
While we are waiting and working for
political purity and progress, I would
bave the Suutborn people point to their
own Htato laws, their schools, their sys
tem of farmiug, and their prosperity, as
an inducement to tbo skillod laborers of
other lands to make this their home. I
would show that it is a land of labor by en
forcing the laws against the idle. I would
encourage eoonomy by buying only what
could be paid for, and by buying nothing
in another market that oould be msde or
raised in the South. I would reap every
benefit of our staple cotton by shipping
every bale for foreign markets through
Southern porta, and making exobenge in
the same way. I would give away one-
half the land to emigrants, and oultivate,
with profit, the other half twioe aa well;
and doing or aiming to do this, I oould
see a future for the South that would
mean wealth to herself and a greater em

oould control the whole Union. These
are my thoughts, my prayers, and my
heart bleeds when a few bad men by

stones, the figures being raised; they
may be out from any precious stone, but
those of a polished texture, with differ
ent oolored layers like the onyx, are
prized most. An intaglio is a gem with
the catting hollowed out like a seal, so as
to give a raised figure when applied to a

Teacher—Vie are glad you liked the
address, though we oannot agree with
you as to the necessity for diversified
studies. There are too many “sin-
meatary” books in our sohools now, the
tendency being to make scholars smatter-
ers. No study should be undertaken that
the soholar has not the time to master. A
few things thoroughly learned make a
batter soholar than a hundred things
skimmed over for the sake of saying “I
have been through it.”

Comkebck or Savannah—The Adver

very gratifying one, both in the large
amount of the trade of our Georgia me
tropolis, and on account of the increase
of the direot exportation of cotton to
Europe. The shipment of cotton to Eu
ropean ports direot amounted to 424,114
bales upland, valued at $29,408,083, be
sides 8,895 bales sea islands. Daring the
the same period Savannah shipped 202,-
91H bales of upland cotton and 8,341 sea
islands to United States ports. Her ship
ments of lumber to foreign ports amount
ed to $220,802 in value, and to coastwise
ports to nearly 0,000,000 feet, and the
latter are reported only in small part. We
believe that Savannah is now seoond only
in importance to New Orleans, among
Southern seaports, as a commercial oity.

New You, July 11.—The fire whioh
broke out in Wehawken last evening was
in the Erie Oil Works. It was caused by
a stroke of lightning which atrnok one of
the tanks, containing 15,000 barrels of
oil, during a heavy thunder storm. The
flames spread rapidly, and one tank after
another took fire, until five, eaoh contain
ing IS,000 barrels, and another, contain
ing 20,000, were soon burning fiercely.
Several smaller tanks, containing in ell
123,000 barrels, also took fire about mid
night, and it was thought others would
follow. The inaccessibility of the works,
and the fact that the fir* has raged steadi
ly since the commencement, makes it im
possible to give more definite particulars.
The actual low oould not be ascertained
as the fire is likely to burn all day, but it
is estimated at $GOO,000.
These works are probably the largest
oil works in the United States, all oil oom-
ing over the Erie Boad being stored there.
The light from the fire ilinmioated New
York most of the night.
One hundred and twenty-five men will
be thrown out of employment.
About one year ago the same works
were atrnok by lightning and one tank
wss ignited, but it was extinguished with
but slight loss.

Paeis, July 11.—The Committee of
Thirty-one on Constitutional Bills held
an important sitting to-day. The Minis
ter of the Interior appeared end present
ed the views of tbe Government. He
said the Government would accept a
pledge drawn up by a committee which
provides for the continuance of the title
of President of the Bepublic; for creat
ing a seoond chamber, and for the organi
zation of a personal septimate, to termi-
minate with the expiration of McMahon's
term, or sooner in oase of hi* resignation
or death; but it was desirable that cer
tain provisions, whioh required immediate
action, should be embodied in a separate
measure for speedy passage by the Assam
bly, and tbe four were then specified aa
follows:
1st. Deputies should be eleoted for
separate arrondissements instead of de
partments; for it waa necessary to keep
in mind the possibility of a dissolution of
the Assembly.
2d. In the creation of a seoond Cham-
ber, the Government wished the Presi
dent Bhonld be empowered to control a
considerable proportion of its members.
3d. Tbe Government insists that power
be given to the President to dissolve the
lower Chamber, but as the manner of ap
pointment of the members of the upper
House is not decided upon, it cannot aay
whether the former should be exercised
with or withont the oo-operation of the
latter. Tbe Government was not desi
rous of interfering with the duty of the
Assembly in framing a constitution, but
merely pointed out what it considered the
essential points. Full expression would
be given to its opinion in debate, when
the subject came before the Assembly.

FROM CHATTAHOOCHEE COUNTY.
Editors Enquirer-Sun—Thinking per
haps your readers wonld like to hear from
Chattahoochee, I will write you as briefly
as possible.
Well, first of all which is life's greatest
boon, wo aro blessod with good health.
Our corn crop, of which there is a good
percentage planted, now promises a bet
ter yield thuu any since tho “late un-
pleasautuosn.” If kind Providence will
favor us with ono or two more nhowers
within a few days, wo will not pull the
very life-blood out of our mnsoles next
year, hauling corn from Columbus. The
greater portiou of our cotton is very
small, but in some places it looks well,
and is blooming. I have uot hoard of
the cotton worm as yet. I am very
proud to say that the potato crop is re
ceiving especial attention ; it is clear of
grass, aud in a fine growiug condition.
In my opiuinn, there is not a more profit
able orop grown on the Southern farm.
An abundance of peas huve been planted,
and the late rains are making them look
well. May success and happiness attend
those Ron8iblo tillers of the soil who are
making such a noble strike in trying to
ruise more food for man and beast, and
in practicing more rigid eoonomy, the
only source of true wealth. O, how it
thrills my heart with emotions of grati
tude to High Heaven when I look srouud
and see this poor, weather-beaten people,
struggling so heroically to free themselves
from the galling yoke of the last decade.
Our Public Schools will open the 20th

Nashville, July 11.— A speeial dis
patch from Tullahoma says that the Depu
ty United States Marshal recently ap
pointed successor to Hildreth, who was
killed a short time ago near Hillsboro’,

Lynchburg late last evening drunk. It is
supposed he fell from bis horse, and was
in a helpless condition when killed. Two
pistol balls had entered his head just
back of the car.

drunken condition. East Tennessee is
intensely loyal. ]
