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 as follows: Richard T. Walters,Lees burg, Lee county. Natalc Cormanny, Milledgeville. Noel Gainey and Wi ley Gainey, copartners under the style of Noel Gainey & Cos., Bain bridge. Stephen D. Heard and Rich ard W. Heard, copartners under the style of H. D. Heard & Son, Augusta.

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 tho seller, in lieu of one-half of one per cent ~ the former charge.

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.
