A HERO FOR THE NOVELIST.
A letter from Greenville, Ala., to the

eepect to the late political dietorbenoe
there. It aaya that the three egge thrown
Into the Court-house while Felder wee
■peaking, were thrown by boy*, end the!
they did not strike nor were they eimed et
the epe&ker, but they were thrown jaet
efter hia endorsement of the Civil ltighta
bill; that afterwards, while Felder end
Seewell were returning to the boaee of
the latter, they passed a crowd of about
half a dozen citizens, when Seawall ex
claimed that thoy were the persona who
threw the eggs, nud immediately fired at
thorn with his pistol, and a man named
Parry, who was with them, also fired two
or three times. Only oue gentleman in
the orowd returned the fire, when Felder
nnd Boswell ran and left the orowd
laughing at them. This party of
gentlemen, six in number, then pro
ceeded to tho house of Beawell
and demanded why he fired at them.
And this is all, according to this scooant,
that there was of it.
OCR DINTRICT CONVENTION.
The LiGraugo Reporter proposes that
the Democratic Convention for the nomi
nation of a candidate for Congreas in tbia
District be buhl on Wednesday the 10th
. of August, and that LaGrange, being
nearly central and easily accessible, be
selected as tho place. It requests the
views of tho other papers of the District
upon this proposition. We believe La-
Grange to be tho most suitable place for
the meeting, nnd we raise no objeotiou to
the time proposed—wo will only snggeet
that it seems to us full early enough, in
view of the little interest which the people
(not the candidate*) appear at present to
be taking in the matter.
UEi:CIIEU>TILTOX.
We do not intend to offend our readers,
or to do injustice to tho parties con
cerned, by copying sulicious aoandals
backed by report morely. Dot this case
has assumed such prominence and inter
est on account of tho stuuding and fame
of parties implicated, tbAt the public
naturally look to tho newspapers for any
reliable developments or ascertained facts
oonneoted with it.
The disclosures attributed to Mrs. Vic
toria G. Woodhull, in a dispatch from
New York to tho Washington Chronicle
(we have seen no mention of them in the
New York pnpors) nro so indeoont, and
tbs reputation of the author is so bad,
that we cannot think of giving them re-
publication in our columns. Suffice it to
aay that this dispatch roports her as hav
ing elated (with unblushing vivacity in
relating the particulars) that she know all
about the ouso from direct interviews and
associations with the parties; that
lleeohor and Mrs. Tilton woro both guil
ty, and Mr. Tiltou nud herself equally so.
Really, wo doubt whether Mrs. Woodhull
ever inudo tins disclosure, nnd do not re
gard her as an unimpeachable witness if
sho did uinko it.
Tho committeo investignting tho ense
keep their own counsels very close. It
has transpired, hov\ over, that Mrs. Tilton
went or was carried before this committee
aeveral days beioro her husbaud knew
anything about its appointment, and gave
her testimony. We have already giveu
the rumored version of her statement
li may or may uot be the true statement;
but the fact, positively statod, tbat aha
baa left her husband and that u separation
between them bus boon agreed upon,
aeems to sustain this report at least. No
doubt tho statement which she tnado was
inoro galling to Tilton because of the
added fuct that it was made even before
ha was advised that an investigation was
progressing.
A statement made to tho committee by
Mr. Frank Moulton, is published verbatim
in tho New York papers, lie appeared
before tho committee in nuswor to ita
aumuions, and submitted to this body
proposition which he said had the sano-
tion of both lieechor uud Tilton. It
to the effect that lieechor “should frank

against Mr. Tiltou for which it was nec
essary to apologize, and for which he did

Ckioaoo, July 11, 1874,
Afer over the Hooky Mountains—right
in the lap of Bnblimity Itself—is the
beauty and glories of Georgia scenery
known sad edmired. To us sons of this
CommoBweaUh, of whlob we ere so rea
sonably proud, it was particularly pli
ant to meet strangers who would shake
one heartily by the bend end say, “Geor
gia is • glorious State—beautiful in ita
■oeneiy, splendid in ita oUmnte, and gov
erned, I hear, erectly right."
Tucooa and Tallulah, these fairy twine
of the moantaias, if thny were bat in
Switserlud, would hevt legions of ad
mirers. Their eehoee even now resound
from tbe far West, and more than one
enthoaiaatio Westerner has promised Io
oome and see tbe Empire State; and
when they do, we shall see they do not go
away dissatisfied.
It was oar rare pleesare to meet in Utah
Ospt. T. W. Brooks, a Georgian, who,
twenty-four yean ago, shook the dust
from bis feet end sought tbe wild pless-
nree of this for off land. Clever, earnest,
polite, and brimfull of knowledge, tbia
true gentleman is tbs prinoo of compan
ions. His meeting with our party, and
especially with an old friend from his own
(own, was so indeaoribably heartfelt that
my sluggish pen dun not attempt n de
scription of it. To see n man wbo has
fought Indiana, hunger, fate and fortune,
from tbe Bio Grande to the Fraser, ba-
oome embarrassed, eonfnsed, and then ns
if waking from n dream, look yon earn
estly in the face, and giving your hand a
hearty grasp, say, “Gentlemen, it is too
good to be true ! ere you ell really from
Georgia ?" forever kills tbs false theory
whioh would bury sentiment as e dead
issue of the past. Tossed by the
whims of an adventurous apirit, tbia
Georgia explorer has seen the plains
whan only n daring few e'er disputed title
with the native—has tramped tbe moun
tains of every Territory in tbe West,
mined In Mexloo and merchandised in
California. To talk with an ednoated
man, a man of vemeity, and whose life
bas been a flitting panorama of daring
prowess, wealth, poverty and adventure,
so oaptivates one that yon look in aston
ishment when your hero stops short and
■ays, “but Ibis ia but the story of e life
idly spent, e ruin now—no family, few
friends. 'Tis true I have money, and
am, think God, sober, but I often think
in my day-dreams of ■ quiet home in my
native State, and a wife and a happy old
age, bat it will never be.” There goes
the marrying idea again. Oh! if theee
Mormons are right, how much they are
right!
Gapt. Brooks has pnt aside the amuse
ment inoident to proapeoting, fighting
Apaches and driving across the plains,
and ia principal of a Urge wholesale fruit
house in Baorameuto. It may give some
idea of the extent of the fruit busi-
neee of California to mention tbat the
sales of this house alone is over $300,000
per annum. Daily, car loads of pears,
oherries, apricot., plums and grapes are
ooming into Salt Lake from tbia house in
California. Miners and nnobemen never
marry.
We have n tourist iu our par
ty who ia a walking interrogation
point. He has asked questions until his
back is bending into the shape of the
punctuation point, dauoting “something
asked." Here ise oonvenation he had
with a tanned, slouch hated, spurred
ranebeman, at Hasard Station, Wyoming,
l'bis ranebeman had come down to get
e nowspaper, to see what had happened
in tbe outside world during the last
month. Our propounder, walking np,
desired to know: “Lire about here?"
“Eighty miles, about." What business
do yon follow?" "Rtnohe" “How
many oowa have you?” “About four
thousand.” “How many sheep?” “Well
lot of ’em." Does yonr family live np
there In tbe mountains ?" Now tbe ranebe-
men was getting interested. “My w hat?”
“Your family." “Good God!” “Wall,
1 suppose yon are married, ain't yon.''
“Married! Wbo in tbe bell am I going to
marry ?” and with a look of ineffable con
tempt this conundrum asker walked off and
left onr man—thinking.
To Gen. Perry the Uolambui delegation
are especially gratefnl for a splendid drive
in Douglass county, Nsb., and for a spe
cial “gathering'' of his lady friends,where
we saw, admired and loved the Omaha
girls Omaha ia socially delightful, and
no where nnder the skiee do people know
better how to treat a stranger. Mrs. Per
ry, formerly of Auguste, Gs., made us
feel at her home, tbat we bad a genuine
Georgis welcome, which is but tbe syn
onyni of superlative hospitality. I should
be recreant to onr most pleasant recollec
tions of our trip if mention was not made
of tbe Unusual pains taken by the Gnud
Central to make onr stay there pleasant.
Despising newspaper notices, backed by a
“dead-bead board-bill,” and distinctly sta
ting that this hotel haa no free-list, we

Both engines were destroyed, and the
baggage and smoking cars of the west

Tbe fireman and engineer escaped.
The engine of the eastward train

the front end of tbo forward first-class
car, which was filled with tsdios end chit
dren, but ail escaped without injury.
Tbe baggage oar of tbe eastward train
bsd its end and side burst open, but tbe

Tbe westward baggage was destroyed,
and tbe mails soaked and torn.
It is stated tbat the eastward train had
the right of way, and tbe westward train

Tbe westward ooudnetor says that he
bad a new engineer this morning; that

Editor Enquirer-Sun .•—We left Micon
last night between seven end eight o'clock,
end after a most comfortable and pleas
ant ride over the Maoon and Western
Bailroad, reaohed this oity at five o'clock
this morning.
After breakfast we started out fur
stroll about town, and for awhile we al.
most felt that we were in Columbus, as
familiar faoes greeted us at nearly every
eorner, pmong whioh were those of Wm.
N. Hawks, Peterson Tbweatt, Henry C.
Pope, H. Outleman, and Dr. V. H,
Taliaferro, now located here.
Business iB dull, although the streeta
present • lively eppearanoe, and the
weather is dry, bot and dusty. Owing to
reduoed rates of fare, tbe trains on tho
railroads are bringing in a large number
passengers, not e few of whom stop over
for one or two days.
We met and interviewed, on e street
corner this morning, yonr exoeltent Bn
parintendent of Pnblio Sohoola, Professor
Geo. M. Dews, wbo, lest night, retnrned
from Athens, and is now on his way to
visit his mother, at Forsyth. The Pro-
feasor was a member of the Board of
Visitors to tbe University of Georgia, and
he reports that the Benior Class examina
tions were highly satisfsotory, and the
literary standard well kept up. The gen
eral management of affairs was also ap
proved by tbe Board, wbo recommended
an appropriation for additional apparatus
and instruments.
A large party of aharming young ladies
aud distinguished gentlemen leave for
Oxford in tbo morning, end we learn that
large numbers have already gone down.
Everything now indicates that the present
commencement of Emory Collego will be
tbe most brilliant and successful that has
takeu pises for years. We shall write
you from tbere, brifly, to-morrow.
