Tho Timkh Office haw been removal from Oun
bj’a Building to the old Enquirer Office, on Ran
clolph street, third door west of the Post Office.
Nearly ono-half of the colored peo
pig of Montgomery voted the I)emo
etatio ticket at the recent municipal
elootlou.
The Eufaula Times presents the
name of Col. Eli Shorter ns the proi>er
man to represent Burbour county in
the Constitutional Convention. Wo
doubt whether a better representa
tive can be found in the State.
Tub Young Men’s Library in At
lanta is in a prosperous condition.
There is a balance of nearly three
thousand dollars in the treasury.
The actual membership is over six
hundred.
The statistics of the Baptist de
nomination show that Georgia Is the
banner Baptist State in the South
having 170,000 members, while Ken
tucky has 147,000, Virginia 140,000,
and North Carolina 110,500 members.
California is tho stronghold of the
Independent Voters. The last United
States Senator was elected by them.
Two Congressmen in Georgia have
been elected by them, viz.: Felton
and Hill—both are fine orators.
Secretary Fish Is reported to be
worth two millions of dollars. He
wants to rest from his labors, and
contemplates a tour of several years
in Europe. Now that the Virginius
indemnity has been paid, ho may
never hnvo a better time to retire
with credit from public office.
Col. Cole, after summing up the
railroad situation, both local and
general, says: “Men of tho closest
observation and largest experience
believe that the future promises well
for the railroads of the South, but
that the improvement will bo grad
ual, and that, for the present, every
possible economy will have to be
observed consistent with a due regard
for keeping tho property in good
order. _
The New York Bulletin copies and
approves tho suggestion made by the
Atlanta Constitution, that cotton yarn
factories should be at every cross
road in the. State, it claims that such
factories will only cost SIO,OOO, “which
can be raised in any cotton-growing
neighborhood.” Our neighbor is
wrong in this lust statement. Money
to tho tune of SIO,OOO has censed to be
one of the crops “raised" in “cotton
growing neighborhoods.”
Atlanta will soon bo supplied with
wator. A hundred hands are kept at
work, and in a short time the Atlan
teso will echo the statement, “clean
liness is next to godliness.” Few
scenes in Georgia arc more refreshing
to the denizens of cities than the
luxuriant clover and blue grass now
growing in the Court House square
in Atlanta. Let a few fountains be
placed there to scatter the thousand
gems of colors found in the union of
light, sky and water.

"Amono tho incidents of yesterday,
says the Memphis Avalanche, of Sun
day, “was an accidental meeting in
the public streets of Mrs. JefTerson
Davis and Vice President Wilson.
Having been acquainted in years gone
by, when Mrs. Davis resided at Wash
ington, their mutual recognition was
instant and cordial, and the two
clasped hands with friendly ardor,
after which the party adjourned to
Specht’s ico cream parlors to discuss
strawberries and ice and the memo
ries of the past.”
In Kansas and Nebraska tho frost
has killed tho grasshoppers as fast us
they have been hutched. Ploughing
in tho Fall is said to expose the eggs,
so as to cause them to be killed by
tho frost in Winter.
The Baltimore Sun speaks of a box
of soil, containing eggs of grasshop
pers which were sent to the office
from the West. By the time the box
arrived the grasshoppers were hatch
ed, and trying to eat their way
through the box! There were about
a thousand of these active and vo
racious posts, and it was deemed best
to destroy them at ouco.
The iron bods of Virginia are going
off at improved figures. A letter from
Campbell county to tho Richmond
Dispatch, says: "Captain J. J. Dillard
sold his tract of 136 acres (on the
river) for $26,000, and another small
mountain place, two miles back, for
$6,000. S. B. Walker sold his (on the
river) for $54,000, Dr. John C. Mnndy,
(on tho rivorj for $40,000, Charles M.
Watts for $30,000, and others in the
same proportion.” The mineral lands
of Georgia are sleeping fortunes for
their lucky owners. Men from Eng
land and Pennsylvania are constant
ly prospecting for just such deposits
as are looked up by tho wholesale in
the red hills of upper Georgia.
The report of tho Lecture Commit
tee of tho Y. M. L. A. of Atlanta is
encouraging. Their net receipts, after
paying nil the lecturers brought to
Atlanta through their auspices,
amount to $305.14. We regard this as
the most satisfactory proof of tho
desirability of Atlanta as a residence.
Wo hope this laudable example will
be followed in all the larger Southern
cities. In Geneva, Switzerland, the
city council, if wc are not misin
formed, pay tho expenses of the
annual course of lectures delivered to
the public gratis. The most eminont
men in Europe arc selected to lecture
on subjects so arranged as to give
to every class the most satisfactory
Instruction,
The M lilllrr lllMintrr.
Tho unfortunate wreck of this
splendid new steamship, with the
loss of throo hundred lives, off tho
Scilly Islands, is ono of those un
accountable ovents that sometimes
happen without any premonition and
in spite of all due precautions. Few
sea captains have a better record
than the captain of tho Schiller—
whom all accounts unite in praising,
and who lost ills life in the heroic
effort to save that of others com
mitted to his caro. Those who have
crossed the ocean know the thankful
feelings of hopeful hearts as they feel
that tho long voyage at last is over
and in a few short hours they will
toucli terra firma. Alas! tor human
hopes, cro they were fairly warned of
danger they were swallowed up in
tho great deop. The group known
os Scilly Islands, 140 in number, Is
the most dangerous off the coast of
England. Only six are large enough
to be inhabitable; and the heavy fogs
that sometimes conceal them from
view—os in the case of the hapless
Schiller—shroud them in the misty
folds that gave riso to the poems of
Ossian. Tho sharp grunite rocks that
rear their rugged crests above the sea
ure, some of them, only visible at low
tide; hence their great danger. All
mariners dread tho treacherous group
known as the “Bishop and his Clerk.”
In spite of the frequont light-houses
and skilled mariners vessels are often
lost. But the same principle which
makes the best pilots on the Missis
sippi often heedless of dangers which
tlioy seem to escape by intuition
long experience guiding them safely
through Scylla and Charybd is—seems
to have animated tho excellent offi
cers of the Schiller. Too much con
fidence in their own skill, too long
continued success in dangerous fields,
seem to have caused the disaster. In
1707 the English fleet, commanded by
Admiral Sir Clondesley Shovel, struck
on these rocks and was lost. Tho
Admiral, with a thousand others, were
drowned. Many other terrible wrecks
arc recorded as having occurred here.
While we can not blame Captain
Thomas, we can but add our sympa
thies to tho thousands bereaved by
the sudden loss of near relatives,
many of whom were Georgians, and
all of whom, almost, were American
ized Germans.
Alabama Convention.
In tho last week we have received
a largo number of communications
from citizens of Russell county in re
gard to the Constitutional Coifventiou
to be hold in Alabama next month.
Each writer has ids peculiar ideas of
tho convention, but it is a noteworthy
fact that they are all in favor of a
convention, and recommend Col. W.
A. McDougald as one of the delegates
from Russell. We very heartily agree
with them in both propositions. Wo
think the people of Alabama owe it
to themselves to send delegates to a
constitutional convention, regardless
of the cost. Wo further agree with
them in advocating tho claims of Col.
McDougald as a delegate. In the
late Legislative raeo Col. McD. was
repeatedly asked to run, but lie de
clined on various grounds. In the
coming convention race he still de
clines to become a candidate, but his
friends claim that ho will serve if
elected. We trust he will. Russell
county can not better the race than
to announce Cos). McD. as their stand
ard bearer. He is by far odds the
most popular mun in the county, and
the county must give a representative
to the upper end of Russell.
CJoTcrnor Wanted.
As far as heard from, tho following
gentlemen will give their services to
tho State of Georgia, for the next
four years, at tho inoderato sum of
sixteen thousand dollars. There are,
doubtless, more “patriots,” not inclu
ded in this roll. These have been
collected from our exchanges, which
have brought forward the claims of
these different gentlemen: General
Alfred H. Colquitt, Colonel Thomas
Hardeman, jr., General William T.
Wofford, Colonel John Nicholls,
Ex-Governor Charles J. Jenkins,
John H. James, Governor James M.
Smith, General A. R. Wright, W. D.
Anderson, O. A. Bacon, Julian Hart
ridge, John W. Wofford, N. J. Ham
mond, Lucius J. Gartrell, General
W. J. Lawton, nnd Colonel Herbert'
Fielder.
We have no idea that several of ih<-j
gentlemen mentioned will consent to
run, or allow their names used. Gov
Jenkins, were he to run, would prove
the most formidable candidate, but he j
is out of the race. In our opinion, the
race for Governor, will be between
General Alfred H. Colquitt, Thomas
Hardeman, and General W. T. Wof
ford.
CaptioutinoMN.
How often do we see tho spirit of
eaptiousness displayed among peo
ple. Especially is this a noticeable
fact in Columbus. It is high time for
all parties to know, nnd fully recog
nize tho fact, that under Democratic
rule tlie popular vote must prevail.
We care not to individualize, but it
might be profitable for all to learn
the stern lesson that the voice of the
people will surely prevail. We are
for the people, for they know best.
When they elect a man we arc willing
to succumb, and it is only the display
of a petty spleen for certain men to
raise captious objections. Their ob
jections, however, will not subserve
their interest, as tue people of the
land have determined to rule it. The
great talk of contesting bonds, &c.,
is played out. As long as certain
men can control all is right; but
when they loose their influence they
revolt. This sort of thing wont do,
and such ideas will not bo further
tolerated. The people will sooner or
later speak, and in such unqualified
tones that there can be no mistake as
to their winning.
—During Gen. Jubal A. Early’s re
cent visit to Lexington, Ya., he was
officially notified of his election as
President of the Jackson Memorial
Association.
The speech of Hon. Ananias Cain,
colored, (highly "colored.” Ed.) in
Congress stated that statistics show
that there ure 1,728,000 mulattoes in
the South. In 1870 there wore in the
United Stutes 4,886,387 negroes.
Taking the whole country, about 12
per cent, of the negroes are mulat
toes; in the slave States, about 11 per
cent, are mulattoes ; and in tho free
States, nearly 23 per cent, aro mulat
toes.
Taking Individual free States, we
find that in Connecticut,, 2,576 out of
0,668 negroes, or 28 per cent, aro inu
lattoes; in Ohio, 17,839 of 62,213, or 28
percent, are mulattoes; in Indiana,
29 per cent., or 7,012 out of 24,560; in
Massachusetts, 31 per cent., or 4,261
out of 13,947; in Minnesota, 245 out of
729, or 32 per cent.; in California,
1,560 out of 4,272 or 37 per cent.; in
MaiDC, 592 out of 1,606, or 37 per cent.;
and in Michigan, the mulatto per
centage rises to 46, or no less than
5,415 outof a total of 11,849!
Theso figures show rather badly for
tho bousted monopoly of morality i
which certain Northern journals and j
orators are so fond of claiming for |
their section, and give tho lie most
effectually to tho idle vaporing of j
this dusky mis-represeutative of
South Carolina .—Lynchburg News.
Asa proof that wo aro correct in t
thinking that what some call “dry ,
reading” is the only way to build up i
our country -so far as tho press can
promote it—we give the following j
extracts from a letter to the Atlanta
Constitution from St. Joseph’s, Mich- j
igan: |
Though the amount of money from
fruit which came into four or five i
townships in our vicinity last year, ;
must have exceeded two million of;
dollars, we arc this spring complain- j
ing of hard times as usual. Land
and rents are still high. Just after I
the war, when the fruit-producing i
capacity of this land had been tested, j
orchards brought from SSOO to SI,OOO i
tier acre. Now SIOO to S3OO per acre j
Is a reasonable price. Rents are j
from sl2 to $25 for ordinary houses j
in this town. The inhabitants num
ber some 4,000.
Wo receive a great many immi
grants, and send a good many away
to other .States. The population is
constantly changing. Hurd times
brings us as many as it drives away.
Many go to Kansas, Nebraska and
California. Lately the Texas fever
has infected us, and glowing reports
of the beauty, health and prosperity
of that State reach us every day.
Do you want emigrants in Georgia?
If you do, why do you not say so ?
The far West and California are writ
ten up and talked of continually;
circulars are scattered broadcast over
the country: specimens of their pro
ducts are exhibited, ami inducements
of all sorts offered to attract emigra
tion ; yet from the Southern States
we hear hardly a word. From their
enemies we get all we expect—detrac
tion— while few say anything in their
favor. Indeed, one might say it is
the custom to groan whenever tho
South is mentioned.
It is the interest of tho far West to
keep tip tliis state of things, to direct;
immigration from the South to itself, j
This has been done for years, and
lias injured the South more with us
than all the politicians put together.
Western laud speculation is a wide
awake, hurd-working interest, and
the one that competes with it has got
to use superhuman endeavors.
The Savannah News reports the
following proceedings in bankruptcy
last week
Petitions in voluntary bankruptcy

It is stated that the instigator of
the plot to assassinate Bismarck, was
arrested on board of a steamer. The
papers give confused statements of
his relationship to several archbish
ops. It is loosely stated that the plot
includes the assassination of Emperor
William.
Cotton Brokerage In Boston. On
nnd after May Ist, 1875, the cotton
brokers of Boston have decided to
adopt tho rate of brokerage on cotton
of fifty cents tier bale, to be paid by

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Maps.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclohjujia wan com
pleted in IHGU. since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained in ail parts of the
United .States, and the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch oi science, lit
erature aud art. have induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to an exact aud thorough
revision, aud to issue anew editiou entitled The
American CYCLofjkdia.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in ■every department of knowledge has
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, aud their fruitful
application to the industrial aud useful arts and
Mm ooavamMncc and refinement <<f social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at ita height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
aud anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
Tho great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result ol the lapse of time,
have brought iuto public view a multitude of new
incu, whose names are in every one's mouth, and
of whose Mtm every ontia curiooa lokaowtha
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press. I
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to j
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of ]
the most recent discoveries in science, of every I
fresh production in literature, aud of the newest j
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give :
a succinct and original record of the progress of \
political and historical events.
The work has been begun alter long and care- j
ful preliminary labor, aud with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term- j
ination.
None of the original stereotypo plates have j
been used, but every page has beeu printed on
new type, forming in iact anew Cyclopedia, with I
the same plan an.l compass as its predecessor, J
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, I
and with such improvements in its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and :
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the j
first time in the present edition have beeu added i
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give'
greater lucidity aud force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science I
aiul of natural history, and depict the most '
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro- ;
cesses of mechanics and manufactures, j
Although intended for instruction rather than ;
embelishiuent, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand wood Engravings, aud with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
