A negro In Newnan refused to vote the
ticket headed “Keutrenehment," because
he said It was a Democratic trick to put
the negroes to digging 'trenehmente and
working the streets. That's another of
Fitch’s jokes.
- The ordinary of Cobb county has or
dered an election to 1111 Mr. Anderson’s
place in the Legislature, on the sixth day
of next month. Gen. Hansell has with
drawn In favor of Judge Irwin, and the

Phillips and Waddell.
A North Carolinian carried three hun
dred dressed squirrels to Gainesville the
other day. It would boas profitless to
ask how he managed to kill all those
squirrels at one time as to Inquire what
kind of traps Hameon used to catch his
three thousand foxes.
A correspondent of the Gainesville
Eagle reports the corn crop of Dawson
"ounty an average one in quantity, hut a

a good area of wheat sown, and very
promising; many hogs dying of cholera,

uan, coffee pots were used as ballot-boxes,
each candidate for Mayor having his own
coffee pot. But before the counting oould
be completed some “mean rascal" stole

story of Ananias and Happhira posted in

which It Is thought his murderers wont
ed. The murderers have not been discov
ered. The sheriff of Murray county has
taken the mother and two sisters of Cros
sen to bis home for protection."
The accounts published In tho Augus
ta papers show that tho origin of the diffi
culty between Messrs. Tilly and Batollffe,
which led to their fatal duet, was a report
repealed by Mr. Katoliffeln roforonoeto Mr.
Tilly, “affecting the latter's character t\.s
a gentleman.” The Constitutionalist says:
“Both gentleman are unmarried, and ‘a
lady’ is said to have been tho moving
cause of the difficulty." Hr. Tilly de
manded Mr. HateliiTe's authority, and the
latter declined to give any special author
ity, hut said that the report repeated by
hifil was a common one, which It would bo
difficult to trace up to Its source. This
not being acceptable, Mr. Tilly demanded
satisfaction, which Mr. RatcUffo prompt
ly agreed to give. The resulting duel has
been reported in our telegraphic columns.
Mr. Tilly dh and of his wound on Friday.
Jissfi JacKSOs’s meeting in Atlanta
on Thursday night, to protest against
tho action of the Federal office-hold
ers at ft previous meeting, was attend
ed by about three hundred persons,
mostly negroes. Resolutions were
passed declaring that the Jackson
meeting represented nine-tenths of
the party, asserting their right to ar
raigii any unworthy or dishonest
office-holder; pledging the party to
tho support of the Administration,
and directing that a copy of the reso
lutions bo sent to Gen. Grunt.
Tho State census of New York, ta
ken this year, has not yet been pub
lished in full, but it Is ascertained
that within the last five years the
population of the State has Increased
nine hundred thousand, nnd that of
the city one hundred thousand.
THE ANTI-THIHI* TERM HKSOI.I-
Tioxr.
The following is the resolution
which tho House of Representatives
passed on Wednesday, by a vote of
232 yeas to 18 nays:
Resolved, That In tho opinion of tills
House the precedent established by Wash
ington and other Presidents of tho United
States, in retiring from the Presidential
office after their second term, has become
by universal concurrence a part of our
republican system of government, and
that any departure from this time-hon
ored custom would be unwise, unpatriotic,
and fraught with peril to our free Institu
tions.
The following were tho nays:
Messrs. Bradley, Dennison, Haralson,
Hoge, Hubbell, Hyman, Lynch, McDougal,
Nash, Page, Plalsted, Pratt, smalls, Wal
lace of South Carolina, Walls, Wells of
Mississippi, White and Whiting—lß.
The following, in the above list
of nays, are Northern Republicans:
Bradley of Michigan,Whiting of Illi
nois, Dennison of Vermont, Hubbell
of Michigan, McDougal and Plalsted
of New York-just, enough to show
that there Is now some avowed sup
port of Grant in tho North.
Though only 18 of the Republicans
voted against this resolution N>n the
question of its passage, a larger
number voted against the demand for
tho previous question, and when that
was ordered übout thirty of them left
the hall, thus dodging tho vote.
Among those who retired was Mr.
Blaine. Only about one-half the
Republicans voted ngainst the reso
lution.
The vote and proceedings, taken as
a whole, show that a very large pro
portion of the Republican party now
wish to evade any expression at all
upon tho third term question, and
that there Is a strong support of
Grant by the Southern Radicals, both
negroes and carpet-baggers. Tho vote
tends to strengthen tho belief that
Gen. Grant can get tho vote of his
party in the South for tho nomina
tion, though ho cannot, with a fair
election, secure rnuny Electoral votes
from tho South; and that Northern
Republican sentiment, though In
clined against a third term for Grant,
Is as yet divided and irresolute.
Alnbnniu and Her Bondholder".
A meeting of holders of the State
bonds of Alabama was held in New
York on Tuesday, to consider the
proposition of tho Commissioners for
sealing and re-fttndlng tho bonded
debt of Alabama. We made a brief
statement of the plan of tho Commis
sioners a few days ago. The plan
does not embrace the guaranteed
bonds of railroads, and provides for
the re-funding of only about $6,300,-
000 of the direct bonds of the State.
The feeling of the meeting was
strongly against the acceptance of
tho proposition of the Commission
ers, and a committee was appointed
to draw up a remonstrance against
it. The proposition has yet to be
submitted to the Legislature of Ala
bama, and the remonstrance will
doubtless also be submitted to that
body before it acts.
Tho Now York Herald has detect
ives engaged in the search for Tweed,
and it thinks they have ascertained
that Tweed went over into Long
Island; that one of his friends or
dered a dinner for him at an obscure
hotel on that island, and waited
there two days for him with a car
riage, but Tweed did not arrivo ac
cording to appointment. The Her
ald believes that Tweed has returned
to New York and is now conooaled in
that city. It seems that the trial is
being steadily followed by the Her
ald employees, and unless some un
foresoon aocldent should ocour, there
is every reason to believe that the
fugitive will bo run to earth. Tho
Herald also believes that Tweed’s
frlonds are endeavoring to effect a
compromise on his behalf.
The Jacksonville Union, correcting
a report that Hon. Revordy Johnson
had gone to Europe as the agent of
tho Stato of Florida to sell three mil
lions of acres of land belonging to
that. State, says that he does not go
as tho agent of the Slate, but as the
agent of parties in New York, who
have made an agreement with the
Trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Fund for tho purchase of a
large body of land belonging to the
fund, which will be conveyed to them
by the Trustees, provided the pur
chase money is deposited to their
credit in New York within a certain
specified time. The proceeds have
to bo applied to the Internal Im
provement fund, uml not to the pay
ment of tho State debt.
The strong disapprobation, in some
localities, of the displacement of Mr.
Henderson on account of his remarks
on the Avery trial, is shown by the
St. Louis Woslieh Post’s nominating
him for the Presidency. The Post is
an independent German paper, and
is sometimes edited by Carl Schura.
The latest reports of the condition
of Mr. O’Conor represent his appetite
as improving and his strength recov
ering. Strong hopes are now enter
tained that ho will again be able to
leave his bed.
UaUrork'" Ur.
St. Lous, Dec. 18.—Gen. Babcock
has been sent for and is expected
here to-day, to plead and have his
case set. It will doubtless go the
U. S. Circuit Court. January term,
and come on after those of McKee
and McGuire. A report circulated
here that some important documents
to be used against Babcock had been
purloined from the desk of clerk of
U. 8. Court proves to bo entirely un
founded.

Savannah, Deo. 18.—Nick Thomp

Augusta, Ga., Deo. 18.—The race

nessed by a couple of hundred per
sons. The stakes were SI,OOO ou the
mare against $750 on tho horse. Lu
cy to pace to a ninety pound wagon,

THE BURNING OF THE W. *. I*l ItE
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
New Orleans, Doc. 17.— Betweon 4
and 5 o’clock this morning fire origi
nated In the engine-room of the
packet W. S. Pike, while lying at her
landing, head of Canal street. The
flames so quickly enveloped the boat
that it was impossible for any one to
venture on board or render assist
ance. It was not long before her
forward mooriDgs were burned away,
causing her burning stern to swiug
around, striking Canal street ferry
landing and setting on fire the sta
tionary and floating parts of the
wharf and placing the harbor police
station bouse in great danger. The
wind beiug high, the steamer was
seen in a bright blaze from stein to
stern. During the raging of the fire
shrieks were heard on board, and two
men were seen making their way
through the flames. They were both
rescued after beiug severely burned.
Their names are John O’Brien, u
passenger from Baton Rouge, who.
besides being burned, had one leg
broken; and John Buchard, sixteeen
years old, from Now Albany, Ind.;
3d clerk, Wm. Bonnie, of Woodville,
Miss., who was sleeping in his state
room ut the time, hus not since been
heard from. Mr. H. C. Young and
family, of Port Hudson, were saved
by Harvey Sutton, the cabin watch
man. Those of the passengers who
went ashore on Thursday night
lost all their baggage. A young
man named Bird, nephew of William
von Phul, is missing. The books and
papers of the boat were saved by the
cabin watchman.
The Tike arrived at the landing at
seven o’clock Thursday evening, and
immediately after 160 bales of cotton
were removed to the wharf, but the
rest of the freight, consisting of
sugar, cotton, molasses and seed
cotton, was lost. The hull sank at
tho head of Canal street, leaving cot
ton and freight floating in the river.
The steamboat Rapides, lying near
the Pike, was somewhat damaged by
the fire about her up|>er works.
The W. S. Pike was built at Jeffer
sonville, Ind., about six years ago.
She was a first class side-whoel pas
senger steamer; original cost SIOO,-
000; was commanded by Capt. John
J. Brown, who owned the greater
portion of her. The estimated vol
ume of her cargo set down at sloo,-
000, purtiatly covered by insurance.
Besides the 160 bales cotton removed
previous to the fire, over 500 bales
have been since picked op in tho riv
er, badly damaged. The molasses
sunk in the hull, and it is thought it
can be nearly if not all saved. The
sugar is probably a total loss. The
entire loss by lire aud water to boat
and cargo may bo estimated at be
tween $70,000 and SBO,OO.

AN OLD LADY KILLED
Special ti Timer by S. k A. Line.)
Fort Valley, Dec. 18.—Yesterday
morning, about 4o’clock, a most ter
rible uccidcnt occurred at Echeeonee
creek, between t his place aud Macon,
which resulted in the death of an old
lady. She was walking on the trestle
work which spans the creek, and had
got only about half way across when
a freight truin came along and
knocked her off into tho water, kill
ing her instantly. There is a heavy
grade on the railroad at the point
where the accident occurred. Al
though the engineer blew on breaks
and reversed his engine, it was impos
sible to stop the train in time to save
her life. The Columbus accommoda
tion train was following the freight,
which made it unsafe to stop, but the
overseer at the next station wus in
formed and instructed to go to the
scene of the accident and look after
the body.
We could not learn her name. She
had with her a srnull package of toys
aud Christmas articles, which she
was doubtless taking home to the lit
tle ones. Seemingly she was aware
ofthe approaching danger, but had
not. tho presence of mind to avoid it.
This is the second case of the kind
which has happened in the vicinity
of Fort Valley within the past two
months. R.

bers of persons congregated.
The crowd at the Continental Hotel
was so great that tho police were
compelled to put up ropes to make a
passage-way for the guests.
A committee of merchants escorted
tlie party to this eity, meeting them
at Wilmington.
Mr. Mitchell, chairman ofthe com
mittee of reception, presented to tiie

St. Mary’s. Fla., Dec. 18.—John B.
Petty, white, and Edward Williams,

Petty killed Elbert Alien, white, in
1864. Pinkney was in the party who
murdered Dr. Eaton, white, in 1866,
and Williams and Evans murdered
Charles Sang, white, last July. All
confessed. Williams held out until
last night, when he confessed to a
minister of the Gospel. The affair
cast n deep gloom over the city. It
is the first execution of criminals
we have had here. Each confessed a
hope of salvation. One of Petty’s
counsel made a written request that
he be hung separate from tlie ne
groes; it was not granted. The af
fair passed off quietly and solemnly.

caused him to kill Allen.
