AT BETKEL, HABEII COUJfTT.
On the 22d inst. asms to pass this in
teresting affair. People oame flocking in
from ell directions till we exolaimed,
“Where did they ell oome from?” A
■pace of shoot seventy yards square was
Mserved for the eating ground, and in it
was a table forming a hollow square forty
yards to the side, eovered with bread of
•very variety, pastry of a thousand and
one compounds, and every imaginable
good thing, with the south wind gently
wnfling over all a pleasant and appetiz-
ingly acid aroma from a “pit" near at
hand, filled with real glowing country
coals, with oak and hiokory stioka placed
aoroBs, upon whioh broiled eareaaaes of
mutton, kid and ah oats, in all the glory
of an old-fashioned barbecue.
At 11 o’elook a. k., the multitude gath
ered around a prepared rostrum, and the
order of the day waa announced by the
Bev. Dennis Hiller. Hr. Bobert A. Fort
opened with an elegant and hearty address
of welcome, on the part of the local
I Orange. Hr. G. A. B. Dozier then, by
Invitation previously given, prooeeded by
alluding to boyhood's days of long ago—
the speeches of that time—trusted that
the orators of that day had been improved
Upon by those of this—more of the
•tilitBrian than bombastio harangue—of
pointed tulkjratber than affected declama
tion—or, in justifloatlon of a required
raereation among all people, times of rest,
refreshment and festival—always, how
ever, governed by moral demands against
ipkcesB and harm; on to the Orange move-
>»ent, with its benefits, social and mate-
lal, developing into a power, gathering
rom the same sources of information,
Irifting together in the same eurrent of
hooght, looking to the same end; and when
'nlly equipped in all its operative maohin-
iry, enter its force and power on ques-
ons affeoting the people's interest at
>rge; and may not hesitate to correot
ils that already ourse the country and
leek others that may be attempted—not
r organized resolutions, but by a sort of
implaaent sentiment in the adjustment
irregularities and inequalities. The
:er was not very reserved in his de-
mciation of the inereased and inoreas-
ig extravagance of government, in-
’eased taxation, class legislation, privi-
ges and exemptions, and the faroe of
riving out thieves who oonld steal in the
lighborbood of two millions, and in-
alling instead “honest” men at a pre
mium of seven huudred thousand dollars
—-instancing the requirement of $1,800,-
000 under the thief Bullock, and $2,SOO,-
000 under bis suoosssor. The Hajor is a
1, progressive, scientific farmer, and
ranger, bnt after all, too much of an
fogy to oomprehend the wisdom or
itice of forcing the poor man, with his
ir-worked wife, half dozen bare-foot
and bob-tall bull, to pay his hard
ed money into the publio treasury,
exempt huge institutions with their
isted millions.
is address ended, beautiful women
brave men filed out In gallant style
never waB “hollow-square” oharged
more pluck; and never were the
ated ranks of a “hollow-square”
porsistently filled. I had gorman-
almost as muoh as Billie Hudson
io told the people that he feared the

key would furnish a funeral. He
id, however, that it would soon pass
all right), and waa standing in the
ling left in the “hollow-square" for
entrance of reinforoementa when I
startled by Sambo: “Harse, fur de
land sake, git outen de way, an' let me
in, for dis old ram sheep am heabier dan all
de eotton dis nigger piok de blessed day."
Indeed, enough was left to remind one of
Bethaaida’s baskets—showing “life in the
old land yet.”
Daring the afternoon Ohas. L. Dandy,
Esq., gave us a calm, interesting and in-
etraetive speeoh on the Orange question.
Ha did not oonaider merchants who fur-
neoeasaries at a reasonable, living
“middle-men” and monopo-
benoe bad no war to make on

Wa ware then entertained by theubiquit-
ous Hudmn, tbs man of all work, in his usual
humorous and happy style, rousing man
ner aad good, hard sense. To enforce
his argument against “all eotton,” be
told at to go and see some old farmer
who pursued the variety orop plan, and
we would find the “old fellow fat, tha old
'oman Ait, the old horse fat, ehickens fat,
tha eat fat and the gals—great Ood! "
ft.
This ended the Grange connection with
the ocoasion; which being announced,
Prof. Jas. G. Calhoun was loudly called,
and responded in fine style in a speech
on education. He proclaimed the historic
truth that only on this foundation oonld
real progress be builded, and urged, by
self-reliant enterprise, the building of
neat School-houses in every neighbor
hood-passing by the miserable shams of
four-hour-per-day men, who “teaeh the
young idea how to mitt fire," and put
ting in ten-hour business men like Prof.
Calhoun, who wqnld oertainly teach it
how to ehoot. He rasped tho publio
school system in general and treasurers
of boards of education in particular; and
finally swung his broad outless round on
the “ass"-pirants for legislative honors,
corruption and villainy, who are thus
early gadding about pestering and teasing
the people; and in some instances, with
brazen impudence, proposing to spend
$2,500, and in others to give a note for
$3,000. He warned the people to beware
of such skunks, and closed his good
speech amid hearty applause.
The Professor is a great man, and de
serves the praise and gratitude of bis
countrymen for his honest, earnest, and
it is to bo bopod successful endeavor to
clear away the brambles and thistles,
briars and weeds of Iguoranoethat cumber
the domain of Intellect, in order that the
beautiful tree of Knowledge may shoot
down its roots, wave up its branohes, put
out its silvery leaves, bnrat forth its
pearly blossoms and bear its golden fruit.
Next came the peculiarly extraordinary
speech of Captain Lyourgus Lexicon
Btandford, Esq., which commenced in
snm and substance, if not verbatim
“LadieB and gentlemen, and my dear
fellow citizens: I annonnee myself a can.
didate for the next Georgia Legislature.
I claim and demand your suffrages for
that place, when the ides of Ootober ar
rive, for the following good reasons,”
Ao., &o. * * *
After tho subsidence of onr risibilities,
Henty C. Cameron, Esq., in a neat way-
side response, “dittoed all the good
things spoken, judiciously seleoted,” and
without the bold shamelessness of an old
stager, modestly signified bis wish to be
more than a lawyer—even a law-giver.
Hr. Jno. T. Williams admitted looking
in the same direction, bnt considering the
late hour and inopportune time, declined
a call for a speeoh as a candidate until the
arrival of some more proper oocaaion.
Hines Dozier responded to a call of tho
gentlemen, and request of the ladies, and,
not being a candidate, wound up on the
“grinding of axes,” and laudatory of
our blaek-smith Governor, who made
and repaired axes. He explained the ex-
oess of governmental expenditures under
Gov. Smith over those under Bullook, by
the faot that the former bad to forge new
bolts, weld broken irons and repair gen
erally the old ship of State, wrecked by
the soalawag rogue. He bad never regretted
that be voted for and supported our im
mediate Bepresentatives and Gov. Smith;
and it required but a thought of the
anarchy of Arkansas and blood shed of
Louisiana, of orime-cursed Alabama and
thief-ruined South Carolina, to make him
thank God that we had in onr Legislature
such men as Uurphey and Hargett, and
such a man for Governor as Hilton
8mith.
Thus ended this festival of good things,
great variety and free speech; and here,
too, I will end, with the assurance that

InveatlfAtltn of th« Pomeroy
Bribery to be U. H. Senator.
Topeka, Kansas, July 80.—In the Dis
trict Court to-day, Judge Morton over
ruled the motion to quash an indictment
in the Pomeroy case. Pomeroy's counsel
then moved for a change'of venue, offer
ing in support of bis motion an affidavit
by Hon. James Rogers, alleging that at
the time of the York exposure, Judge
Morton said to him (Rogers) concerning
Pomeroy: “We have got the G-d d-n
scoundrel where we want him, and here
after a poor man will stand some ohance
to fgo to the United States Senate."
Judge Morton granted the motion and
said he could send the ease to Osage coun
ty.
In granting the motion the Judge took
oocaaion to deny the statement in Rogers'
statement in plain and emphatic terms.
The motion to reduce Pomeroy’s bond
from $20,000 to $10,000 was refused.

Presidential Fall at Long; Branch.
Long Branch, July 80.—The Seventh

before the regiment arrived at the hotel,
the floor of the summer-house, in which
the President, Gov. Parker and a number
of others were, gave way, and the party
were preoipitated to the ground, a dis
tance of a couple of feat. No one was
injured.

Pabis, Joly 30.— In the Aasembly to
day, the debate on the motions for disso
lution, adjonrued from Monday, was re-
sumed.
Depiere opposed the dissolution of the

Cbambaud LeTour, Minister of the In-
terior, also spoke sgaiust the dissolution.
He reminded the Assembly that by the
law of Hatch, 1373, it wee pledged to
vote Constitutional laws before it dis-
solved. When the President's powers
are organized, the Deputioa could appeal
to their constituents without endangering

Duval and others supported the mo
tions, arguing that tbs uneasiness oansod
by the present unsettled oondition of
affairs paralysed trade, and the only rem
edy was to appeal to the people if e veto

the above title, covering the period from the
selection qf the locality for a “ trading town,”
in 1827, to the capture and partial destruction
qf the city by the Wilson Raid, in 18G5.
The incidents will be derived mainly from its
newspapers, which will be gleaned for this
purpose with much care. It it believed that
most of our citizens would like to have such
incidents in this compact and convenient form,

extent of the small amount asked for the work
Each chapter will contain short biographi

mentioned in it, who have since died. The
volume will also embrace full information
concerning the churches, factories, <(*<?., now
existing.
We do not propose to publish this compila
tion with a view to making money, as the
small price asked for it will show. Rut at
the same time we do not want to lose money
by its publication, and therefore we wish to
limit the number qf copies printed to the de

we issue this prospectus, inviting those who
desire copies qf the volume to send in their

New York, July 30 —A Urge portion
of thin week's issue of Woodnall A
Claflin's Weekly is devoted to giving the
history of the Beecher and Tilton scandal
aud development* lately made ; also sev
eral articles written in Oonneetion with
the same snbjeet on the advocacy of free
love. In a card the editresses announce
that they will fearlessly review all testi
mony given before Plymouth Church in
vestigating committee, bnt not nntil all
the testimony is in. They say there has
been any amount of lying and prevarica
tion, bat that they will take their own
time to expose it; that the truth, the
whole truth, will and shall come, and
every party to the affair take his or her
position. The statements by Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, in her interview with a
reporter, are incorporated in an article
headed, “Light breaking through the
clouds."
Sons of Stephen A. Hoagies Gala a
ftnarier Million.
Chicago, July 30.—The great suit long
pending between the heirs of Stephen A.
Douglas and the Executor of his estates,
was decided by Judge Williams in favor
of the heirs. This decision gives the
heirs, Robert Douglas and Stephen A.
Douglass about a quarter million dollars.
It was mode under the following circum
stances : “When Mr. Douglas died he
left Dr. P. Rhodes, of Cleveland, as his
executor. His property was mostly real es
tate in South Chicago. Being offered for
sale, Rhodes agreed with one Dobbins
that if the latter bought in all the prop
erty he would take one-third off his hands.
This was done, and the speculators made
an immense sum from their investments.
The suit was brought to recover on the
gronnd that an executor can't be inter
ested directly or indirectly in the pur
chase of his property at his own sale, and
the judge so decided. But one half of
the value of the property was decreed to
the children; the other portion would
have gone to the widow, but she waa
barred, having allowed too long a time to
elapse before asserting her right."
