Again vve urge upon the reople the importance of manifesting a deep inter est in preliminary political meetings by attendance upon them arid lively action in their deliberations. Already a dis contented portion of the State is feeling for a shadow of a supieion upon which to rest a boltingstep, and a sharp eje is open for the detection el anything that bears the least resemblance to a ‘‘cut and dried” arrangement to force in the choice of a few. — Albany News. The Savannah News, nays : Some of the leading citizens desire to know what Mr. Estili meant by saying that the Georgia newspapers wore ahead of the towns in which they are published. The meaning is obvious enough. A newspaper makes a town. It msy i oast of a collection of houses and a number of inhabitants, but until it has its nows paper it remains stagnant. A good weekly newspaper is commercial agent drummer archbuilder and bod.carrier all in one. The Atlanta Commonwea Ith says We visited portions of Cobb andChcro kee counties on Saturday.last, returning ouMonday from Canton, and were enabl ed by observation an examination to ap' predate the alarm so generally felt and expressed as to the condition of the wheat crops. The rust vas plainly visible in every Odd and on the fodder of almost every stalk. Old observers differed in opiniou as to probable results, but the weight of conjecture impressed us that the yield will inevitably be cut short 30 to 50 per cent. Tho crop through upper Georgia was three weeks ago more promising than any crop for many years, but this blighting plague is everywhere, and the planters have despaired of an average yield We saw more cotton than coni along the road, and were told that vast quantities of commercial fertilizers had been us and this spring. It was a sorry sight, and aad was the thought that the cotton belt folly of ’7O was being repeated in the mountains in 7G. A century old, and still they fail to protit by experi ence. Tiif, Freedman's Bank, wlßch served the colored people of the country for sev eral years as a rat hole wherein thoy could deposit their savings with tho as - that they would not have tho opportunity to invest them in unwise speculations, has at last been turned in side out, and presents a spectacle decid edly disheartening tr the depositors.— The names of the personswho fattend on the credulity of the ignorant freed men are given to the world, and are mostly included in the pestiferous body known as the Distrietiring. Gen. O. O Howard, the Christian soldier, figured in tho transaction as “honorary trusteo” oftho institution The remu' cration received for his invaluablescrvice is not stated, but the General’s career in Was im'ton is a guarantee that he has a lib eral estimate of his worth as a financial manager. If the parties to whose doors these shameless frauds have been traced escape punishment uoder the law. it will only prove another instance to il lustrate the fact that the corrupt ring wields a greater power in the District that the courts of justice Chicago Trib- WIQ. A Wethodist “Swamp Angel.” In tho Methodist General Conference in Baltimore last week, during the de bate on the report of the Committee on tho Book Concern, appropriating £2,000 a ye u r to tho Now Orleans Christian Advocate, and making it a conference paper, Rev. I)r. Moody said : “ Old Z*ck Taylor, the Joshua of modern times, and by transfiguration the ‘rough and ready’ of antiquity, had once plant, ed the American Hug beyond our bor ders, and Tom Corwin moved lo cut off the supplier But Tom Corwin a Iter wards confessed that on account of that speech he had been crucified —dead, buried, and descended into hell, [laught er,] and there was no resuarccticn for him. [Laughter.] The same be said of the man who would cut off the sup plies from the South. lie wanted this paper at New Orleans to play the part the ‘swamp angel’ did at Fort Sumter, which at a six-mile range Would daily belch forth the cty of ‘where are you Beauregard?’ [Laughter.] He want ed to entr nch the rr.per at (he Cres- City where it. would thund r for the ! phureh.

The overture to Obercfn ended. 1 received a kindly nod of recognition from the great impresserio, who looked like some mighty potentate all covered with, his sparkling orders and ribbons, and a warm shake of.the hand, from the greatest of cornet players; and then Wandered off to sec the sights fooling very much like Betsy Bubbett on the occasion of her first visit to New York. To f ursuo anything like a settled course of description, as I propose to do and go through the tiling regulaily and couifatably, you need to stuff cotton in vonr ears and shut one eye tight, other wise pretty things allure you on every side' and you an constantly heat ing of some wonderful things that somebody else has seen, and you fid yourself running off to seeSt, too, and night comes, and you feel that you have not done what yon wanted to do. Bight around the centre o: the Main Hall is jx perfect museum of w nders John Bu’l, Jean Orapeau, Die dock Vun Sauer Knott and brother Jon affirm ar# here bro ght face to face, and it’s Kara to tell who is on top. Go into tho magnificent exhibit ol Kiingtou of Birniingh. m, England, and you would be willing at once to make an afaduvat that there was nothing more beautiful on tho face ol the earth ; and no won dor, for before you stands that marvel of the silversmith's skill, the magnificent Helicon vase, which took six years to make, and oust, £30,000. Close to it is the famous Miltonian shield, cove l ed with scenes from Paradise L jst in ‘.race-* ry exquisitely beautiful; elegant tables flower stands, and a multitude of other beautiful things that entangle your feet as in a web, so that you find it almost impossible lo get away—don t pause shut your eyes and rush out, or we shall get no further than Elington’e to day. Here we are beset again right m front of us is (lie exhibit of Marehand of Paris; with its inexhaustible wealth of bronzes, statues and articles of virtu. Let us pause lor a moment to examine these marvelous figures at ‘lie gate, that tell the story of the Sabines, what savage triumph gloats on the faeo of the man ; what inexpressible agony is de picted on the countenance ol the woman the agony and terror of utter he Spies 3 ness. Glorious figures and shapes in every coueievable form of beauty surround you, and you inwardly exclaim there is nothing can excel Marehand; not so fast my friend, a few more steps further and we come to the display of Tiffany & Cos the diamond impoiters and jewel lers of New York. Talk about vases just look at their ; not one or t vo, but twenty or thirty; racing cups, piles of silverware, and all of them miracles of beauty. Marehand has laded out of sight, Elkington is forgotten, and you really begin to doubt if you ever saw any vases or silverware before worth mentioning. No, sir ; you quietly re mark to yourself again, I’ve seen it all now there is nothing further left in ibis world to soc in the w>y of silver ware. Hold vour horses ; didn't I toll you. )Ou were just like Betsy Bobbett, right around the corner. Look here this is the exhibit of the Gorham Silverware Company, glittering like the palace of Alandin, and all of American manufact ure wonders of artistic elegance and grace are they standing as they do in friendly comjetition with the splendid creation of genius from other and older lands. They, too have a magnificent. Centennial Vase, expressly manufacture ed fir the occasion; spoons, dishes, pitchers, vases knives forks, and a mul titude of articles, which I did not dare to ask the name of for fear oi exposing my ignorance. V hat a wonderful brain it was to conceive, and how cun ning' the hand to execute tnese exquisite models of beauty; beauty that no mortal pen can describe, and which it is worth an ordinary life to see. But we must nut stop here all day among ihe silver. There is much to see besides the agent; come over here; this is the exhibit ot Daniels, of Lon ! don, the great exponent and creator of ! modern ceramic art. How old Bernard de Paliis.-y would have loved him, and well he might, for Daniels entered into pcssesbion of the promised land, which tho old prophet of Poissons only saw from the mountain tops, and afar off, and died without entering. Lucky Daniels, in whose ante-room lords and dukes stand waiting to get a sight of I old dishes and tea ots, that a cosier monger would have considered.dear at eighteen pence. There is much of c-eau* ty in many of these specimens, I con fess, with their fretwork of leaves and flowers, and their giittering rainbow hues ; but when it couies to animals and all sorts of creeping things, I must ad mit that with my plebian tastes, I do not relish a lizard s tail in my soup, or finding a toad among my green peas and asparagus. Of course, all ibis fas tidiousness is traceable to my imperfect educat on; but I never did like the nas ty critters, and I never can. Nice lit tle naked boys, with fi.-hes’ tails, from the handies of pitchers and tureens; and an old lady, who stood gazing on them yesterday, in firmed me they were Ooopids, fur which information I, of course felt very much obliged. i*o you siuoku ? do you smoxe i H you love the weed, just look at that case of pipes, ri t more shaui, but real, gen uine yeiJontn, from the factory of Imlz lloiss.

Farmer Lit 'gc; .•. of Londuu, on the opposite side, have a splendid case of costly shawls, which a pour mat’s wife has no business to look at. iiicli and rare are these superb fab rics, wonders of patient industry and marvels of the weaver’s art. Cum cl s’ hair shawls are there that ir would re quire au ordinary liletim : to make, and the cost of which would mortgage the bank account of a respectsrJo i. on try i merchant; there are tissues of gold aad I siik, elegant, fleecy and beautifu as u i dream.

A lit tle further on, and Bwcdoli c. .es is again with her iron, copper and silver; hanging against the* waHit arenrou bars 'two inches thick tied up In farfey knots just like a* whip eoitl. Shafts and bolts, and nfighty tfi.ngs...that look as though they might have been fashioned in tiie suntby where the thunderbolts of Jove are forged. The question of opening the Exhibition on Sunday is the cause of. acrimonious diuou Eon. The papers are cudgelling the cb'uiaiissioners sound ly, but us yet neither side'eric j enough. I think that the voice of the majority of the people in. Philadelphia is deci dedly in favor of opening ; and it seems to me that their time would much bolter employed in cofSiemplatlug the art and genius cf the assembled, world, than swilling lager in the booths that surround the grounds, and coming homo at night full as ticks Lo lick their wives and children. You can keep them out. of the fair, gentlemen, but you eau’t make'them go to church. We had a butcher’s parade on Wed uesday last, the first since 18GG, when they turned out to meet McClellan. It was a stout body of men, I tell you.— Warriors were there who charged tho Irish camp under Shinier during the Cathode riots. Archers from |.Moya mousing who had stood unshaken before the bilimen of Southwark —ands pears men from, the Northern Liberties who had successfully resisted tho charge of the black hoi so cavalry fr.-m Dutch town — Good \Yi! e sand Fuirmouncers fought their battles over again while looked in fraternal and loving embrace, and the hatchet gms buried in oceans of lager, where, like the swurd c f Etcali bur it sunk, never l trust to be soon again by mortal eyes. la conclusion, a kindly word for Philadelphia, end bore allow mo to say that sho is no more accountable fi r the stories of extortion ui' which you have heard, than she is for tho predictions oi old pioiabiiities or the success ot the Keely motor. For generous courtesy and liberal hospitality, she will bear comparison with an; 7 city of the world •lust now she id infested by sharks from abroad, but f..r general decency, person al safety, and indeed, every comfort at a Moderate expense, that a reasonable traveller can expect, ehc is excelled at the present time by no city iu the Un ion, and till I •■o things differently from what I see them now, I shah con tinue to speak well of aer.
