Subscrilers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance oj their periodicals,, the publishers may centime to send them until all arrearages are paid. 8 . If subscribers neglect or refuse to tone their periodicals from the, office to which they arc di rected, they are held responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontin ued. aces without 4. If subscribers move to other pi s are sen/ notifying publishers, and the paperd responsi to the former direction, they are held responsi ble. ft. The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodicals from the office , or removing and leaving them uncalled for , is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.” 6. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber. *. If subscribers pay in advance , they are bound to give notice to the publisher , at the end of their time, if they do not icish to continue tak ing it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to and it on, and the subscribers will be respon sible Until an express notice, with payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher. Saturday, May 12. 1877. Mr. Jefferson Davis is and has been for some time residing at “Beauvoir,” Miss., tho residence of Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey, on the Gulf coast, between Mo* bi’e and New Orleans, where he is en gaged preparing, with tho assistance of Major W. T. WalthaJ, his “Memoirs, ’’ soon to be published by the Appletons. He is in excellent health, and looks younger thaa he did a few years ago, iho result probably of the salt air of tdie Gulf and rest from several litiga dons, the end of which, however, left him, it is alleged, almost penniless. The New York Suo in alludiDg to the present Eastern war, says : “All wars are anti-Christian ; but the most sacrilegious, it seems to us, are those waged in the name of Christianity.— The whole responsibility of this war rasts on Russia, and, though its objects are professedly humane, they are too transparent to delude the most simple. If the enthusiasm of humanity be her guiding principle, let her free Poland peaceably instead of deluging the terri tories of her neighbor with blood to free populations which don’t belong to her. Let her introduce the religious tolerance whiob exists in Turkey, in stead of devastating its plains with fire and sword in the name of the religion tff love.” We have received from Messrs. John Triplett and A. J. Ilansell, of the local press of Thomaeville, a polite and cor dial invitation to attend tho meeting of the Georgia Press Association in that city on next Thursday, stating that am ple arrangements have been made both for the oomfort and enjoyment of the members of tho “gang,” that the Mitch ell House will furnish “hash” and a big ball, and that the Floral and Hor ticultural exhibit will take place during the visit of tho members, and while we express our deep regrets at being pre vented from attending, we also feel much inclined to thank these gentle* men for their promised hospitalities.— We once fell into the hands of the Thomasville people, and they know how to treat a fellow so as to make him want to go back again. The Romo Tribune says of Gen. W. T. Wofford, the nominee for rhe Con- Bfcitutional Convention : “We are uu* der no obligations to this gentleman. Wc owe him for nothing, not even a kind word. Our personal relations, so far as any can be said to exist between ns, are none ot the pleasantest ; and in advocating him as a man to be trusted in the formation of ctir laws we must confess to a crucifixion of personal prejudice. But for all that, there is no man in the whole State whom we will more willingly support than him. We regard him as earnestly conservative in his views, sound in his judgment and thoroughly educated in sound political doctrines, and we are glad of the op portunity to lay down our owu personal feelings and do honor to such a man.— Our State needs his services, and we trust that all will unite in calling him to its councils." The fortieth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia Railroad convened *in Augusta Wednesday the 9th. From the annual report of the Superintendent the following extract is taken, showing the operations of the road for the past year: “The gross earnings for the fiscal year, closing March 31st, have been 51,143,128 24, and the expenses $643,110 30, leaving a net profit of $500,017 94." The Pres ident of the road in his report says : “The hopes of increased net profit, as a result of the largo roductioD of expen 'B€B about the olose of the preceding fis cal year, have not been fully realized. The heavy losses by fire and flood, at Oconee and Macon, not only fbr renew id of bridges, but by heavy diversion of business, fell mainly on this year’s business, 'l'be heavy loss also by the opening ot the Northeastern Road from Athens, has been, as was expected, ae- verely felt. Strangely enough, this ri val road was advocated and sustained by 0”r largest stockholders, without whose assistance it could not have been built. As the company did not contribute to this hostile enterprise, the stockholders have no right to complain of a meas ure which they had nop ower to pre vent.” THE TIMES. An Industrial College for negroes is to be established in Richmond, Va , the intention being to teach trades of vari ous kinds. Three ladies were put up at a raffle in Kansas City, but when their photo graphs were exhibited it put a stop to the sale of tickets. In the porgie oil factories in Maine last year 518,000 barrels of fish pro duced 1,618,000 gallons of oil and 16,- 000 touß of scrap, valued at $716,- 300. During the past winter it is estima ted that in Western Texas 1,000,000 bison have been killed for their hides, and the carcasses left to rot on the ground. Notwithstanding the late frosts in the Napa Valley, California, the lar gest yield of grapes ever raised in the valley will, it is said, he gathered this season. Chinamen are to be imported into Havana by a stock company recently organized to supply the planters with laborers. The capital is fixed at s2,* 000,000, half of wbieh is subscribed. A terrible drought prevails in parts of Australia. Nearly every sheep sta tion in New South Wales has lost from 1,000 to 5,000 head of sheep. The to tal loss is estimated at over 1,000,000 sheep. A traveler writes that in riding seventy miles not a blade of grass ap peared, where in former seasons flocks were aocustomed to roam. A leper has been discovered in the San Franeiisco county jail. lie is a Chinaman. Over 9,000 horses, 643 asses, and 35 mules were eaten in France last year. The first horse abattoir was established in 1866, and the consumption has since increased yearly, A healthy carcass is worth S4O. Q he last eight crops of cotton in the South raised by “freedmen” are greater by 1,500,000 bales than those produced the last eight years of slavery. Miss Neilson, at her benefit in San Francisco wore in her hair a diamond weighing thirty-one karats, the largest ever worn 00 anv stage in tho United States. It is set in frosted gold leaves, and valued at SIO,OOO. Mr. Barnha*d, of Philadelphia, who has been engaged in some crooked whis ky transactions iD that city, and who some time ago assaulted a revenue of ficer in the discharge of his duty and then fled, has been arrested in Peoria and taken East. Mrs. Harris, of Mattoon, Illinois, weighs one hundred pounds. A more remarkable thing in this connection is that Mrs. Harris has just given birth to triplets, all boys. The little Harrises weigh twenty pounds all told. The citizens of Winfield, Kansas, turned out en masse lately, headed by a band of music, and fought grasshop pers all day. The account says : “As the people drove clouds of these pests from them the band discoursed music, and made the war a very amus ing and interesting one." Among the inmates of the Nashville Lunatic Asylum is a negro woman who lives almost entirely upon grass, which she obtains from the lawn in front of the building. She has a great antipa thv to weeds, and suffers none to grow within the enclosure. An enterprising bank watchman in Eufaula, Ala., placed some burglars’ tools near the vault, killed a ben and scattered the blood about the place, and discharged his pistol several times, cre ating the impression that he had driven off a band of burglars. The hen was found and his prospects of reward van quished. The life of one oi Pennsylvania’s centenarians ebbed away on Saturday, in Montgomery county. Richard Con rad was an Irish patriot who fought in the rebellion of 1798. and subsequently joined the British army, settling in America in 1812. An iron constitu. tion carried him into his one hundred and tenth year. During the delirium of his last illness he imagined that he was ouo of Lord Fitzgerald’s soldiers and seemed to recognize his ccmpan •o nsin-arms l OUR WASHIXGIOV LETTER. The Next Speaker—Will tiie President’s Course elect Black burn The Extra Session— Fred Douglass—The Mexican Invasion—Ere., etc. Washington, D. C. May 14,1877. Editor Calhoun 7tines ; The President and members of his Cabinet still receive telegrams and let ters ouncerning the time of calling the extra session of Congress, This advice ornes from all parts of the couutrj,aod is understood to be favorable to the day already fixed, October 15th. As it presumably comes only from friends of the administration, it is not likely any change will be made. Aside from mere political damage to the Republican par ty—if that “dissevered, discordant and belligerent” organization can be furth er damaged—the country will suffer ma terially through lack of money to sup* port legally its army, its navy and its courts. The army'and navy may be kept together, and the courts generally may proceed with their business, but what a commentary it is on a govern ment “of the people, for the people and by the people” that the Executive takes the responsibility of carryiog on all these branches of government illegally and refuse to call together the people’s representatives to provide means for continuing courts, army and navy, le gally 1 The President will hear from those representatives whenever they meet. Already there is reported rclia<- bly an accession of strength to Repre sentative Blackburn, of Kentucky, as a candidate for Speaker, and a movement like that means simply that the Demon racy of the House will relentlessly pun ish any violation of law that President Hayes may be guilty of. ’Fred Douglass says the fight against him is a fight against the Republican party ; that if he is removed from of fice by the President, the latter’s ene mies within the party will be strength ened and that the President cannot af ford to lose any strength. Douglass is right, but he may not have any better success than other party leaden in making Hayes see himself as other Re publicans see him. The following are given as leading military men in the proposed fillibus* tering expeditions against Mexico, with which at one time it was expected the government would be drawn into col lusion : Gen. Joe Shelby, Missouri ; Vaughan Thomas, of the old Walker Nicaragua Expedition; “Gen'l” Frank Armstrong, late of the Confederate army. The U. S. Government will take every precaution against the organization of any forces on our soil for the inva sion of Mexico. Assistant Secretary of the State, Seward, referring to this subject says: “The government will not allow any armed expedition to leave its soil to invade a country with which we are at peace.” One of our fifty or sixty Building Associations, and apparently one of the soundest, has just suffered a loss of over $20,000 by the unfaithfulness of its Secretary and Treasurer. It is found that no law exists in this District by which these officers can be proceeded agaiust criminally. This is I believe the fifth of these societies wbLh lave thus suffered here, and it would seem to he time that legislation should be so shaped as to protect persons —generally poor and industrious citizens—who thus invest their savings.
