The wheat crop around Pillion is
looking exceedingly well. Farmers'
are greatly behind hand, however,
with their work, on account of the
rains.
The small grain crop of this covin- j
ty, as far as we have seen or heard
from, is looking well and promises an
abundant yield. The area devoted
to this important crop is unusually
large. SnndersrWa Harold ond a. >/■-

- The Savannah AVu.v says during

ed that Savannah has handled from '
the Florida waters, as well as those

and fifty thousand shad.
-The Sumter lli'iodd'iraa says a
genuine panther was killed a few
(lays since on Kinehafoonee creek, in
Lee county. He measured seven feet
eight inches from nose to tail, and
two feet and ten inches around the
body.
The Haiti bridge Danan-rot says :
We may be mistaken, yet we cannot
get, rid of tiie. idea that the next Rad
ical Presidential ticket will read:
“For President, U. S. Grant, of Illi
nois; for Vice President, A. H. Ste
phens, of Georgia.”
-—The Milledgeville / aUm and llr
rordar says careful investigation
shows that nine' persons were killed,
sixty wounded, ninety-four houses
blown down, and $50,000 worth of
nroperty destroyed in Raid win county
by the late tornado.
—The Hukinsville Ihxpatch says
that the oat. crop in Wilcox and Irwin
are looking well, and it appears that
a much larger amount of land than
usual has been sown. The rains have
been so frequent, ami heavy that far
mers are greatly Ldiind with their
work.

—The Hamilton l r utitor adds to the
incidents of tin- tornado: On the
plantation of Captain Pitts stand- a
large beech tree, near two feet, in di
ameter. During the storm a scant- ,
ling :ix4 inches was driven oentrely
through it, and is still in the tree so
fast that It can not be moved or shaken.
It was blown at least three-quarters
of a mile before striking the tree.
On** of the sills of the house, 12x14
inches, was can ied a mile from tin*
ruins. The wind came from every
direction. The saws of a gin were
blown in one direction, the ribs in
another, and the brush in another;
the frame cannot be found. Near tin*
Columbus road many of the trees Ml
towards each other, and most of the
large ones fell in the direction from
which tin; storm came. Corn stood a
slim showing in the storm, ft Was
shucked, shelled, and the cob split
up by the wind. Hobby Pitts saw an
ear sticking in a tree, and broke it off
in an attempt to get it out. There
are many bushels of shelled corn
lying around Captain Pitts’ place.
Yesterday in conversation some
one remarked that Gen. Toombs
never crosses a eourt house door for
loss than live thousand dollars.
When Judge JLoehrant* replied that,
there was nothing strange about
that. I wouldn’t take any ease, for a
smaller fee than ten thousand dollars.
This caused the crowd to discuss legal
foes, and it was found that several
large fees had been paid Atlanta law
yers since the war. Mr. Hill, in tin*
celebrated Metcalf ease, received a
hundred thousand dollars fee. Judge
Loohrane a fee of forty t housand dol
lars in the Brunswick and Albany
easH. Mr. Hill received a fee of
twenty-five thousand dollars for his ;
management of Kimball’s <'•*. j
Judge buchrane recei ven ill teen
thousand dollars as a fee from Mrs.
Kimball in the Kimball House ease.
In addition to these wises, there is a
case now pending between Henry
Clew* & Cos. vs. the Cherokee Rail
road, involving two hundred and sev
enty-live thousand dollars, in which
the fees will be large. It is said that
Judge Loch ratio's fee, as attorney for
Clews, will be twenty-live thousand
dollars. The case will come in the
Chancery Court on the 7th of this
month, before Judge L. X. Whittle,
auditor. The counsel for Clews is
Judge Lochrane, of Atlanta, Col.

Fleet ion.
New York. April *5. The Timrs dis
cussed the results of the Connecticut
election at some length, editorially,
this morning, and atrributos the Dem- j
ocratie victory to the misguided pol-1
I icy of the Xtepubliean party in at
tempting to justify the course of the
Government, in Louisiana; of attempt
ed legislation on the Force bill, and
the passage of the Civil Rights law.
The JPoWd says the election is a
glorious Democratic victory, and an
utter repudiation of the Republican
party.
The Trlbaat‘ considers that the elec
tion was an Administration light and
an Amninistration defeat.
The lb raid, by comparing the votes
of the past two years, shows that the j
Democratic majority on tlie State j
ticket is Smaller than last year, it j
reviews the political questions at is-1
tic, and regards the election of Ea- j
ton, in the United States Senate, as a j
blunder *>f tin* Democrats, which has
alienated thousands of voters from i
the Democratic, ranks. It argues that :
tin* Republicans may recover a good |
deal of lost ground, if, in the next ■
fall election, they throw overboard |
third-term aspiral ion.
