The main btislnoss of Suturday was the
passage of a resolution to have a grand
central camp ground tn the vicinity of
Genova. Bishop Pierce made some isirtl
nent suggestions as to tho plan projHisod.
He urged tho stewards of of evory Church
tei take tho matter In hand, and induce
many njemtsTs of oacli Church to bo pn-s
--ent. A committed) of twentJ-Hvo gcntlo
mou of various denominations, was aje
pointed by tho Presiding Elder to arrange
at once for tfio eroetbm of buildings and
tho carrying out of plana Tho grounds
are to bo open to all denominations, and It
Is hoped that they can bo mode so attrac
tive as to become a summer resort for peo
ple In tills section.
At 11 o’clock Bishop Picnic pretK-bcd one
oflils simple, strong, groat sermons, the
effect of which was very marked on all
who hoard It.
After the sermon ho took up a collection
on tho oue dollar pbui lor Emory College,
bn account of tho great scarcity of money,
very little was raised.
A Nominating CommltlteS Of ouo |ier

At 11 o'clock Bishop Pierce preached
another of hl great sermons to a very
large congregation. All who hoard It
considered it a powerful effort.
AtSo’clock there was a Sunday-school

in tho school at Butler, and It Is flourish
ing finely.
A beautiful address was made by Mr.
Abner Flewellen. Rev. W. W, Stewart

Momluy afternoon there was one of the
liveliest ehoHoe over wlteetxieil In this city.
Two nejfroos were Improving tho shining
hour ly “goluK ftlr” somo roasting ears In
the garden attetelxsl to Mr. ll(Hlges' resi
donee, noar the cemetery. While engaged
In this pleasant oetmpqlion, they were dis
covered by another person of their own
color, but much more honestly Inclined.
He at once made for tho marauders and
they moved out of Ids way rather rapidly.
The honest darkey chased them for several
hundred yards. Ho pushed them so close
while crossing a Held that they dropped
their booty. The pursuer continued and
was fast gaining ou tho rogues when un
luckily they reached tho sewer near the
oolored Methodist church. Into this they
darted instantaneously. By the time the
avenger reached the spot where they had
disappeared uo signs of them remained.
They were far away somewhere In safety.
The,names at tho two negroes are known,
and they will not bo out of danger for
sometime. Stealing from gardens is be
coming very common In several parts of
tho city, and not until some of these petty
thieves are caught will it he stopped.
Mucirr* County Court.
Muscogee County Court met Monday
morning at 10 o’clock, Judge Joseph F.
Pou, presiding.
After the court met Judge Pou stated
that an adjournment would be necessary,
as tho day was both n State and National
holiday, aud judgments taken on it would
▼cry probably bo worth nothing. Judge
Pou suggested an adjournment, until tpe
fourth Monday In July. Tho third Mon
day was offered os a substitute. The
sense of tho bar seemed to be in favor of
an adjournment until the next regular
term, which begins ou thn first Monday In
Septemlier. Judge Poll accordingly or
dered Ilia court adjourned until Hint time.
The followingyiurors were drawn for t he
mat term: J..S. Boyd, jr., Jno. W. Ed

Tho motion dix'ket will l>o taken up Ui
day by Judge Johnson, and before it Is
concluded some Important business will
bo transact ed. Tlnorowill boa motion for
anew trial iu the Pash case, which will be
hoard either to-day or to-morrow, the
grounds of the motion are not generally
known. We hoar that a motion for a new
trial will bo made in the case of Peter Fin
u, van, who to now in jail ami sentenced to
bo Tiling'oti the 30th of July. It Is said that
a plea of "non compos mentis'’ will be in
sisted upon, and In the opinion of many it
Is considered probable that the plea may
be substantiated.
Whether there will be an effort to obtain
anew tr ial for Jiuues Kilgore or not we
are not informed. He Is under sentence
to bo hung on the 30th-the same day os
Finnegan.
Motions In those eases will bo of great
importance, and their result will be looked
to with no little interest by the public.

The glorious Fourth passed In Coluiii
bus without a circumstance to indicate Its
distinguished position In the regard of the
nation. Not the faintest tsimbhuiee of its
peculiarity was to ho Seen. While two or
three cities In the State) were In a blaze of
excitement, Columbus was as calm and,
quiet as usual -perhaps a little morn so,
for very little business was transacted nnd
every body seemed to lie enjoying a day of
rest. The colored population, generally
so ready to express its Joy and to celebrate
any occasion about which It knows noth
ing, restrained Its ardor on 3fouday and
did not oven bring out Its ranch-used
drum and patriotically march through
the streets. General Toomb* would have
been exactly suited had he boon 1 u tho city,
for a greater abstlncnoe from any demon
stration whatever would have boon on im
possibility. Our military wore the plain
dress of the civilian; our Bremen wore no
red shirts; and ull fraternities maintained
an unbroken silence.
Tho day was hot, dull, and uninterest
ing—a striking contrast to what the same
occasion would have been in Columbus
twenty years ago. In tho distant future
the same state of affairs will probably re
turn, and oil the Fourth there will Is) the
same hurrahs, the same a pouting of patri
otic!* tho same tributes to the American
eagle, mid Lise sauio general noise, confu
sion and joy tlial made It once the great
day of all the year to tho American |ico
ple. We aro all fast getting back Into the
old ruts. We do things now that we would
never have dreamed of five yehre ago, ami
a few years hence all such customs as the
celebration of the Fourth will no longer
be liounded by Um sectional hues of the
present, but will extend all over the coun
try wiUi the universality of a past when
wo all knew but one name- Americans.

" By the kindness of 31r. W. B. Willis, tax
receiver of Chattahooche county, we aro
enabled to give tho public the following
important steitistics of the crops planted
in that county the present year:
Number acres planted or sowed for the
grain crop of 1875—Indian corn 12,371;
wheat 926; oats 1,848; rye 308; barley 43;
rice 37; cow or Held peas, alone or with
corn, 9,448.
Number acres in hay or forage Bermu
da grass, to bo mowed for hoy, 2; pea
vines, to bo gathered for forage, 31
Number acres lu other crops -GAUm
11,347; tobacco 4; sugar ,me 77; sorghum
138; ground peas 224; sweet potatoos 330;
Irish potatoes 32; melons so; acres In gar
dens 519.
Orchards and vineyards Number apple
trees 6,793; peach trees 22,775; peer trees
395; acres In grape vinos 7.
Number farm animals on liand Ist of
April—Horses and moles 785; jacks and
Jeiinios 8; work oxen 217; all other cattle
2,430; whole number hogs 3,231; hogs for
killing next winter 1,762; number sheep
142; goats 550; dogs 598.
These statistics aro very important.
They have been prepared with great care,
and will give an accurate idea of tho uui
teriftl resources of the county. It will be
seen that there are almost os many aeces
In cotton as in corn. The quantity of
wheat seems small In comparison with
corn. One ol the most noticoablo features
of the statistics is the fact that there are
only 56 acres in hay or forage. It is rea
sonable to suppose that, in a year or two,
there will bo ton times this quantity.
Reports from the crops in Cliattahoo
clioe are very encouraging. There to a flue
stand of cotton. Corn Is doing well, and
with seasonable rains a magniUoeiit crop
will bo tho result. The farmers arc hope
ful of receiving a good return for their
industry and lubor in a generous yield and
abuuduut crops.

The Suiierlor Court mot yesterday morn

The only ease tried was that of F. Reich,
cJiargod wiUi selling spirituous liquors on
the SubbfiUl. Bussell A Bussell appeared
for tho defense and Solicitor W. A. Little
for tho ijtate. After hotting the evidence
and arguments the jury returned a ver
dict of guilty, and the prisoner was lliied
6100 and eosts. He will apiieal his ease to
the Supreme Court.
After the disposition of this ease, the
criminal docket was concluded for the
term.
To-day motions will bo heard. It Is
supposed that tho remaining business of
tho oourt will not occupy more than two
days. The term has boeu a long one, and
much business has been transacted. A
large number of eases were continued. If
all had )>eon tried the term would hove
gono on for a month or two yet. The N'o
vemlior term will boa busy one.

Yesterday afternoon the remains of Mr.

Dear Sir: The “relief valve" ordered
for use i>f sU*amcr No 5 has been t*t>d on
several occasions, aud, in my opinion, will
bo of great service to the steamer, besides
saving a great deal of nroperty from dam
age by water. 1 wouki rosmietfully ask
that your committee make the netHssary
recommendation to Council looking to tlie
payment for same.
T would also call your attention to the
fact that the hose in use by our Rteamers
is inadequate and Is fast giving away,
and would respectfully ask your recom
mendation for the purchase of at least
1,000 feet of gcHxl leather lusi>, as from
past experience they are thelx*t and only

lx* scon from my report of 1874, it was
hoped that this outlay would be avoided,

FINANCES.
The Finance Committee rejxirted they
would lukve to defer ththr statement until
the nest mooting. They had referred all
the petitions back to the assessors, who,
with the exception of a few cases, had ad
hered to their original figures. They also
Mated they desired to examine the Treas
urer’s report, so that they might embrace
ail the subjects in one report. They would
have this ready by next meeting certainly.
OOTIKT COSTS.
Clerk o' Court presented a bill
of $lO 25 Lxvsts ixich, in the Hamilton and
Davenport cases. Council ordered these
paid, but declined at present, authorizing
the payment of sl49—the amount awarded
by tho jury to J. H. Hamilton, until they
had obtained full legal advice as to
whether it weuld pay to appeal to the Su
preme Court.
EXECUTIONS FOR TAXES.
The clerk was authorized to give notice
that executions would at once be issued
against delinquent tax-pavers, excepting
those had petitioned for a reduction of as
sessment.
MARSHAL’S HALARY.
Mayor McHhenny stated that by au
thority of the Council ho had ordered the
salary of the late Marshal, My. Matt Mur-
I phy, to be paid to his widow.
Alderman Blanchard, Mayor pro tom,
! was called to the chair and Mayor Mcll-
I benny took the floor.
I He exonerated the Treasurer from rll
j blame in paying tho salary to Marshal
Murphy’s widow. If tho (Council did not
j authorize the Treasurer in his action he
I would pay the sum himself.
Tho liberal contributions oft citizens,
| amounting to $l,lOO, had enabled the
widow to purchase a home and the salary
| had enabled her to live.
i The Mayor did not think that lie had at
j all transcended his authority.
! Aldorman Blanchard offered the fol
{lowing which was unanimously adopted:
' Whereas, upon the death of Marshal
I Murphy it was informally resolved that
j the salary which was to be paid him,
should be paid to his widow; and further,
that to meet this expenditure, there should
be no election for City Marshal this year;
be it therefore, resolved, that the sum ap
i propriated as u salary for the aforesaid
marshal be ordered paid to his widow for
the j>eriod of eight months.
Alderman Brannon desired an ordinance
passed giving the families of officers killed
in the discharge of duty, the salaries of
said officers, for a certain length of time.
Alderman Blanchard objected to bind
ing future Councils; a good precedent was
all that was necessary.
Council th<*n adjourned.

The demand for Dr. J. Bradfield’s F*-
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Propri
i etor has, heretofore been unable to fill
them all. He is happy to stab* that ar-
I rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator ou a scale equal to the eruer
! gency, and the public may feel assured
, that their wants may now lie supplied.
! Physicians of liigli repute are using this
| great remedy, in daily practice, all over
| Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
j for from suppressed, suspended or irreg
i ular menstruation. This valuable ineui
j cine is prepared by L. H. Bradflekl, Drug-
I gist, At lanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 p.'r
; bottle by druggists throughout America.
HEARTY. BLOOMING WIDOW.
Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870.
j Messrs. Bradfield A Cos.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been willing it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when
she was married, llcr husband lived two
years and died. .She continued in bad
health; ill fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and caiue to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of vour Regulator, costing her only
throe dollars, when she had tned several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
