yesterday.
The directors submitted a report
of the business operations of the

future success, although the com

To the People of Hassell County .
Failing to get a quorum of the Dem

Committee, those who were present
agreed with me in requesting you to
hold Beat meetiugs on the first Mon
day in May, and appoint delegates
from each to a Countv Convention to
be held at Seale on Saturday, 13tb
May next, for the purpose of nomi
nating candidates for Senator an-1
two Representatives to the General
Assembly, appointing delegates to
represent the county in the State
Convention at Montgomery on 31st
May, and forgenera! party purposes.
And it was suggested, it may not be
amiss to say to you, thatwnile victo
ry for us may seem assured, we have
a versatile and treacherous enemy to
deal with. Think not he has depart
ed from our fair land ; he yet remains
to take advantage of ail opportuni
ties. and to blight us with his cun
ning malevolence. His much impair
ed power is yet strong with the re
sources of the Uuited States Treasu
ry. Such an enemy with such a weap
on, in such a field,may well be watch
ed. Supineness on your part may
make you little and cost you our
dearly won victories. Can we afford
it?
Let every man turn out in the Beat
meetings and show by our unanimi
ty what we feel—a determination to
beat Radicalism once more in Rus
sell county and in the State. It will
strike dismay into the hearts of our
gathering foe3, and assure our
friends of our purposes to do our
part toward ridding American free
dom of its most dangerous enemy -
the thieving Radical party.
Besides our State election in Au
gust, we are to have the presidential
election in November. With this
double campaign awaiting us it
stands us in hand to be earnest and
prompt even in the preliminaries.
Very respectfully,

he related the following capital anec
dote on gallant Phil Cook,who repre
sents the third Georgia district:
On a recent dav a small appropria
tion for the Washington monument
was up before the House, and when
his name was called Cook voted lusti
ly for the bill.
Congressman Buffington, a staid
old puritan member from Massachu
setts, crossed over to Cook and shook
his hand, remarking:
“General Cook, I thank you for
your vote. When one from the South
who occupied so distinguished a
place there as yourself joins in this
patriotic spirit, it is peculiarly re
freshing.”
Phil bowed blandly, but a merry
twinkle in his eye caused the crowd
surrounding him to listen for this re
ply. which came out enthusiastically:
“Not at all, sir, not at all, for Mr.
Buffington, by ——, sir, I never go

GRANT TO DICTATE THE NOMINATION OF
CONKLINO.
New Yonk, April 7.—The Herald
editorially discusses the Presidential
question at great length, this morn
ing, on the basis of the President’s
acknowledged preference, according
to the Herald’s Washington dispatch,
in favor of Conkling ns the Republi
can candidate. Tho Herald attrib
utes tha President’s selection of
Conkling to the fact that the Electo
ral vote of New York will decide tho
Presidential contest. New York is a
Democratic State to be recovered,
and only a candidate who is excep
tionably strong with New York Re
publicans has tho slightest chance of
taking the State away from the Dem
ocrats. Jt would be an act of politi
cal suicide for the Republican party
to nominate any candidate who has
no reasonable prospects of carrying
this State. The influence of Presi
dent Grant is worth at least two hun
dred delegates in favor of the candi
date he supports. He controls all or
most of the Southern delegates
through confidence in him by the ne
gro population, and virtually dictates
the nominat ion of a candidate who is
backed by New York and Pennsyl
vania.
The Herald thinks Conkling will
go to Cincinnati with 128 delegates
from New York and Pennsylvania,
and about 275 delegates from South
ern States. With this formidable
display of strength on the first bal
lot, the chances are greatly in favor
of Conkling’s success.

THE CAPTURE OF MATA HURON.
MORE DEFINITE PARTICULARS.
Hpecit' to the Galveston News.]
Brownsville, April 2, 1876. -The
particulars of to-day’s doings are be
ing ascertained more definitely. Gen.
Labarra was with Gen. Toledo recon
noiteriug forces. Toledo fell back
tc the Casa Mata, but had been sep
arated from Labarra. About half
past seven o’clock a fight, occurred
between the Ninth Regular Cavalry
and the regiments of Lapareuo aud
Aguirre; this was outside town. The
cavalry surrendered. Two pieces of
artillery were taken at the Monterey
fort by the Revolutionists and car
ried bv hand to the lower part of tho
city. The former gunners served
them, and when they opened
on the Casa Mata tho Twenty-sec
ond Regular Infantry abandoned
Fort San Fernando and entered tho
Casa Mata. The fight at Casa Mata
was brisk for half an hour. The
Revolutionists attempted to take
the works by storm, and were re
pulsed.
Just as they were ready for another
attempt a white (lag was raised, aud
Col. Cristo offered his sword to Gen.
Diaz. The latter complimented him
for his brave defense, and told him
to wear his sword. The number sur
rendered by Cristo is variously esti
mated at from 119 to 362 men. Col.
Parratt was thrown from his horse
in an affair outside of town and is a
prisoner. An officer of Gen. Diaz
gives the following list of captures:
5.30 men, 17 pieces of artillery and 712
stand of small arms, besides those in
the hands of the prisoners.
The surgeon reports three killed
and twelve wounded; officers report
five killed and sixteen wounded.
Generals Trevino and Naranjo have
Col. Ordonez surrounded. Day be
fore yesterday near Punta Aguda,
Trevino sent a courier to Gen. Diaz,
and says he will defeat Ordonez.
Trevino is expected in Matamoros
within three days. Ordonez is the
officer who defeated Naranjo a few
days ago.
Gen. Diaz was preparing a note to
day to Gen. Potter, requesting or de
manding the removal of the gunboat
from before Matamoros. Her pres
ence is said to be disagreeable to him.
He has expressed a determination to
remain at Matamoras until his troops
enter the City of Mexico. An entire
change is progressing. The Diez
men are crowding into Matamoros,
and the Lerdo men are coming to
this bank.
after the battle.
Brownsville, April 3, 1876.— Gen.
Toledo has taken service with Gen.
Diaz. That decides the question
mooted vesterday as to having be
trayed (Jen. Labarra. The wounded
number about twenty-four; losses on
the Government side not known.
Gen. Labarra has been joined by his
family, and occupies the house re
cently occupied by Gen. Diaz in
Brownsville. Col. Cristo and a great
many other officers are in this place.
Gen. Fuero is on the march from
Monterey to Matamoros; Gen.
Labarra expects him in five or six
dav3.
Gen. Diaz has issued a proclama
tion requestingthe citizens to remain
at home and attend to their business.
He promises them security and the
enjoyment of the rights guaranteed
by the constitution of 1857. Gen. La
harra anticipates leaving the frontier.
Gen. Diaz has not forwarded a com
munication to Gen. Potter; he was
writing one yesterday. It is proba
ble that he has concluded
that tying up the Rio Bravo
on the Mexican side is not a
violation of neutrality. Arms and
ammunition were received here to
day, some consigned to parties on
this side, some to Gen. Labarra and
some to the commanding officer at
Matamoros. Gen. Diaz is reported
to have received forty thousand dol
lars by the last Morgan steamer.

WasHiNGTON, April 7.—Government
officials here express the belief that
several New York liquor dealers will
yet bo found guilty of illicit prac
tices in connection with operations
to defraud the revenue. The books
of several firms dealing in liquors
and high wines, acting us commission
merchants, were recently seized and
examined, and District Attorney
Bliss is endeavoring to have tho sus
pected dealers indicted. Winessos
from Chicago have been summoned,
among them Joseph Roelle, U. S.

It is expected this testimony will
lead to tiie indictment of the suspect
ed ones.
A Tribune Washington special says
the Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate,
Mr. French, last evening served on
Belknap the process issued by order
of the Senate’s Court of Impeach
ment. Belknap appeared cheerful,
and said he would respond at any
time indicated. He conversed freely
on tho subject ot tho accusation
against him, and remarked that now
he was on the defensive he was the
target for all manner of attack, but
he had no fears of his ultimate vin
dication. So far only one side of
this matter had been given, but soon
the other side would bo heard. He
intimated the probability of his ap
pearance in person before the Senate.

Fires at Fart Valley.
Special to tho Times by S. & A. Lino,]
Fort Valley, Ga., April 7.—The
handsome residence of Mr. Jake
Slappey, near Fort Valley, was en
tirely consumed by tire last night.
Mr. Slappey was not aware his houso
was burning until awakened by the
screams of his children, whose bed
at the time was on fire. Everything,
even to his wearing apparel, was lost,
aud worse than all, lie had no insur
ance. Loss about SB,OOO.
Mr. Slappey is one of the
wealthiest men in this county, and
is better able to stand such a loss
than almost any one else. No eauso
is assigned for the misfortune.
There is now another house on fire
a short distance from town, but it is
impossible to tell whose it is. B.

One woman was cut in two while

was blown off. Two boots and
one shoe were found with fragments
of legs adhering. Many women are
in a critical condition from terror.
Boulders were thrown two miles.
The damage to property is over

The cause of the explosion is sup
posed to have been the firing of bul

Klioilc Inland Election.
Providence, April 6.— The total
vote for Governor yesterday was 18,-
531, against 22,264 last year- a falling
off of 3,733. Returns from all the
towns in the State, except two, give
the following figures : For Governor
—Lippitt, Republican, 8,369; How
ard, Prohibitionist, 6,557; Beach,
Democrat, 3,507. The election of
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
is thus thrown upon the General As
sembly, as was the case last year.
The exact complexion of the General
Assembly cannot be told. This year
Lippitt’s plurality over Mr. Howard
is 1.812, but he lacks 1,894 votes of a
majority.
Despondency.
Much has been written and said
upon this subject, but what we call
“low spirits” is very frequently the
result of bodily weakness or disease.
People with few exceptions, love to
be cheer ul, and do not have to
hear sermons and lectures upon the
subject to appreciate cheerfulness.
But these frail bodies are easily put
out of tune, and despondency is very
apt to accompany the small ills that
seem but light, and for which we find
but little sympathy. When Elijah
sat down under the juniper tree in
great despondency, so great that he
longed to die, the angel of
the Lord did not say, “Hoity!
toity! man, you give up too easily;
despondency is a dreadful thing;
never give way to it.” No, the Lord
is too wise a physician for that. Ho
knew that the prophet wassulTcring
from bodily weakness and weari
ness. The good man was allowed to
rest, first of alt; mark that. Sleep
and rest are often all that is needed
to cure low spirits. Then a miracu
lous meal was prepared, and the
angel touehed the sleeper and said,
“Arise, and eat, for the journey is too
great for thee.” How sympathizing
and tender were these words! Elijah
did according to this bidding, and we
have no more complaints of that
kind from him. Now, just here is
the secret in numbers of cases where
despondency holds sway—“the jour
ney is too great for thee.” The toils
anu cares press so heavily that the
mortal frame is out of order, and de
spondency is the result. iWell, then,
it follows that the way to be cheerful
is to do all in our power to be
well in body. Avoid over-fatigue,
taking too much thought for the
morrow, grumbling and brooding,
and anything that is hurtful to the
physical nature. The greatest cheer
fulness is induced by a firm trust in
the Lord. And when the journey is
necessarily too great for thee, the
angel will come and give the meat
that shall strengthen for many days.

DAMAGE TO PLANTATION INTERESTS BE
LOW.
From the Memphis Avalaucho, sth.]
The water level in the river at the
foot of Jefferson street, lust night,was
within U inches of the highest on
record, aud 1 inch below the high
water of May, 1874, at which time the
Council Bend cutoff was made, 5n
miles below this city. At the present
writing the prospects are that the
rise here will continue for two weeks
or more to come, and that it will
reach a level equal to that of 1867 and
also of 1862. The rise at this point
has doubtless been increased by the
recent cutoff at the Devil’s Elbow,
which precipitated a heavy volume of
water upon tiie swollen torrent be
low and increased tho velocity of the
current.
No relief from tho flood can be
hoped for from present uppeurances
for some time to come. All the
lower tributaries of the Ohio are full
to overflowing; the Wabash, Cum
berland and Tennessee especially so,
while the Illinois has so flooded its
banks that at the town of Havana it
is 6 miles wide and 14 feet above
high water mark. All other upper
rivers display mammoth propor
tions. while the tributaries of the
South are full. White river has run
out of its banks; Arkansas river is
high, though so far has done no harm
as far as known, and the people
along tiie streams of the lower river,
especially at New Orleans aud above,
are strengthening their levees in an
ticipation of the freshet pouring down
upon them.
A heavy rain f ell at St. Louis on
Sundayand the river was rising at the
rate of half an ineli per hour. Heavy
rains also fell at EvunsVtile and Cai
ro.
From river men who came up by
steamers yesterday the news reached
us that cattle and other domestic
brutes were seen standing in many
places in the water knee deep, with
no dry land visible and no apparent
effort making on the part of their
owners to find a dry place for them.
At several places the water had risen
into the very houses, and was a foot
or more deep oil the lower floors,
while people still tenanted theiruqua
tio quarters. Under such circum
stances it seems strange that rafts
have not been made on which to
place cattle, horses and other ani
mals to be thus saved from destruc
tion.
It was reported yesterday that the
Little Rock Railroad is covered in
several places, and especially between
Edmondson’s station and Blackfish
