The heaviest of the gale, so j r a® we can learn, was seven or eight miles northeast of Monticello. Three cabins on the place owned by Dr. T. M. Mcln tosh, in Florida, were blown down and some Radios hurt, but none of th>m seriously. On JMfifon place of H. J. A. T Mclntyre about a mile of fencing was blown down, but cyclone passed south of the buildings. On .Mclntyre’s place, iu Brooks, near the r ionda line, several miles of fencing were blown down and one bouse mashed in by a railing tree. We have no doubt much damage was done, but we have been unable to learn particulars. A heavy hail storm accompanied the wind and rain.” Columbus Timex: “Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, while Mr. Herbert Britting ham. assisted by Mr. Wm. Cooper, was sewing the pianer belt at the Southwestern Railroad shops, his left hand got caught in the belt, and his arm was crushed to a jelly up to the elbow, and but for the presence of mind of Mr. Coop er, who caught hold of and held him back by main strength, his whole body would have been carried over the shaft. The cries of the young man and the immediate alarm of Mr. Cooper brought the workmen of the shops to his assistance, and the engines were stopped at once and Mr. Brittingham rescued from his perilous situation He was taken to his father’s residence, in Girard, and Drs. G J. Grimes and Stanford attended him. The flesh and nails were also torn from the right hand. Though suffering great pain, the young man stood it heroically, and late last evening he was rest ing easier. Mr. Brittingham is an apprentice in the shops, and is a son of Mr. Nelson Brit tingham. Supervisor of the Mobile and Girard Railroad.” Says the Covington Enterprise: “Mr. J. W. Lindsay had sixty hands picking cotton one day last fall. He made nearly two hundred hales of the staple, and expects to pitch a full crop for this year. How does our brother jour nalist of the New York Cotton newspaper like this showing for a young man who has never entered matrimony?” Says the Early County Xeu:s: “Most of our people have been rejoicing at what they re garded as almost a certainly that crops would be free the present season from the ravages of caterpillars, bugs, etc., on account of the se verity of the past winter. From what we have already seen we think the hope is a delusive one. About ten days ago, and just a few days after a severe cold snap, we passed by a row of collards that had been transplante i to go to seod, and found every stalk literally covered with full grown Lincoln or Yankee bugs. Be sides this, we hair of caterpiFers already webbed up on the peach trees, plum trees and persimmon bushes Professor Wade brought us a limb from a plum tree the other day that was almost covered with young caterpillars.” Henry County Weeh'y: Several days ago Johnnie Westbrooks, cf this place, a lad of about twelve years, was running some cows across an old field, when he stumbled and came near falling headlong into a deep, uncurbed old well. He was very badly frightened, and on his return to the house related the circum stance to his parents, telling them of the scare he had receiv. and A few cays afterwards it was discovered that his hair had turned from a very dark to an iron gray color, and no cause can be ascertained for it but the result of the severe fright We have often read of such, but this the first case of the kind that has ever come to cur knowledge.” Discussing the farming outlook, the Perry Home Journal says: “It is, at this writing, by n> means encouraging in tbis section of the country. The amount of wheat and oats sown last fall was less than usual, whilst the unusual severity of the winter and opening spring has prevented the farmer from sowing oats or planting corn with safety. A 1 kinds of farm work is at least two weeks behind, whilst the late heavy rains aud fierce winds have swept away much of the fencing on creek and river bottoms and ve y much baked the uplands. In spite of all the e drawbacks, however, we are gla i to see that the planters are at work in good spirits, and trust they will be rewarded with good crops in the end. But we must be pardoned for again suggesting the great importance of planting an unusually large corn, potato and pea crop. It will be both safe and profit able to devote a larger area of laud than usual to these crops, and see that it is well manured and tilled. If cotton remains at present prices it wiii he impossible to purchase supplies Lorn abroad without ruinous losses.” South Carolina Notes. On last Friday night a horse was stolen from Lublin Hazxard, colored, in Edgefield. A dwelling house of Mr. R. G. Srneak. of the Fork, in Orangeburg, w hich was nearly com pleted, was biown down by the storm last week. It is estimated that it takes on an average for the whole of Kershaw county $1 74 worth of fencing to keep $1 65 worth of stock from eating up S-J 45 worth of crops. Jimmie McNeal. a colored boy six years old, accidentally shot himself last week through the abdomen, in Chester.

Tne gentlemen who accompanied General Gary's remains to Cokesbury state that his aged mother, who had been ill for some days, died two hours after his burial. She had not been apprised of his death, and was expeeting him to visit her hourly. Reports from the sea islands are thought to exhibit a discouraging prospect of making a full crop of long staple cotton. The weather has been cold and unseasonable, and lands gen erally are represented as not being prepared. Compared v. ith other seasons the cotton should now be up. It is thought, on the whole, that the crop will be largely diminished, especially on account of the low prices obtaining by reason of the large amount ia market from the past season. A large joint meeting of the citizens and Town Council of Beaufort, S. C., was held on Tuesday evening, and a preamble and resolu tions ere offered and adopted as a tribute to the memory of the late Alfred Williams, who, since 1 872, had been the efficient lutendant of the town. The resolutions were read by ex- Senator W. J. Collins, and ably seconded by Colonel Thomas G. White and other gentlemen present. James Heyward, the negro convicted of mur der in Beaufort last week, was on Tuesday sentenced to be banged on Friday, May 20th next, between the usual hours.

The jewelry store of Wm. Wise, in Brook lyn, was entered by burglars a few nights ago, and desperate efforts were made to break open a large safe, containing $60,000 worth of jewelry. The burglars bored six holes in the safe door, but the steel plates broke their drills, pieces of which were af terwards found on the floor. Baffled in their attempts, they turned to another safe, weighing four hundred pounds, which was built in the wall. By means of a jackscrew, they broke it from the wall, moved it into the back part of the store, and forced it open, stealing therefrom one hundred watches, left by customers for repairs, and also a quantity of jewelry. Wise’s loss is estimated at $6,000. Tornado In Mi**l**lppl. Cincinnati, April 13 —A dispatch to the Times Star gives the particulars of a severe wind storm at Fernando, Miss., yesterday afternoon.

Aden, which is at the mouth of the sea, enjoyed the other day a regular rain storm, the first that has occurred there in thirty-two centuries. Showers fall in Aden, on the average, once in three years, but they are puny, sickly affairs. The late storm flooded the country and frightened the Datives, who had never seen a genuine rain before, out of their wits. Ever since the Suez canal has been dug the climate of Western Arabia has been modifying, and rains have be come more and more frequent, due to a change of currents and winds.

ESTABLISHED 1850. TRIAL OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE “SUNBEAM.” Captain Abraham Thomaiand Chief Officer T. H. Richard* Acquitted of the Charge of murder at the Court of General Session* In Beau fort, S. C. Beaufort, S. C., April 12.—As the case just decided in the Court of Sessions here must be of interest to ship masters and ship owners in Savannah and elsewhere, I propose to give a (Ririef resume of the proceedings, as well as to show how far the powers of a ship Captain may be exercised in the performance of his duty to his owners and consignees, and in his own self-defense, as to show what sailor ad vance jumpers may expect when they under take the unlawful pursuit of stealing articled .seamen from the ship upon which they have i 'd to serve. 1 allude to the case of the State vs Abraham Thomas, Master, and T. H. Richards, First Offi cer, of the British barkentine Sunbeam. The prisoners were charged with the murJer of one “Thomas William Murphy, a seaman.” The case was called yesterdav morn in?, his Honor Judge W. H. Wallace presiding. SolicPor Gault represented tne State, and W. J. Ver dier, E*q and Col. Wm. Elliott represented the prisoners. The whole mornirg was ex hausted in the empanneling of a jury, when the following admirable and intelligent array was sworn in: W. H. Cuthbert, S. Bowman, Jr., J. N. Wallace. Stephen Miller, P. M Whit man, J. A. Emmons, W. H. Calvert and Wm Kressel. white, and Joseph McKnight. B. W. Jones, R. N. Wright and Peter Qibbes colored The prosecution presented four witnesses: James Smith, colored, Samuel McKain, white, Thomas Drummond, white, and Dr. Jno. A. Johnson, a physician of Beaufort, who had examined the dead body of Murphy. The evi dence adduced upon a direct examination, in brief, was that a man named Sweeny, a sailor boarding house keeper of Charleston, had pro posed to furnish the Captain of the Sunbeam with four seamen, and had engaged Murphy, McKain, Drummond, and a colored sailor named Hull, to ship on the said vessel; that, he brought them to Beaufort and engaged Smith to take them down to the Sunbeam, with their baggage, on Saturday night, the Bth January that on the 9th they arrived at the Sunbeam, and while Sweeny was in the cabin with the Captain, drawing'the advance money, the re cruits went Into the forecastle, and there beat a colored watchman severely, because he ae cused them of stealing his knife; that the black escaped from them to the deck, and made for the cabin to obtain succor from lus commandingofflcer.Capt.Thomas. The Cap ain came on deck and the row recommenced, the negro being again violently beaten. The Cap tala endeavored to quell the disturbance, and was ordered by Drummond to stand back and let them have fair play. The rioters did not desist until the man Sweeny begged them “for his sake to wait awhile.” After some lit tle time Sweeny bade them good-bye. filled to Smith to come off, and went into the small boat and took his seat in the stern, ordering Smith to hoist the jib and push off; that Drum mond said “you are not going to leave without shaking hands,” and jumped into the sinaM boat, followed by McKain and Murphy; that the Captain grasped the iron jibstay to prevent the boat leaving, anti that Murphy went to the bow of the boat to shove her off, and took his sheath knife to cut the jibstay; that the Cap tain snapped an empty pistol three times at them and then called for his gun, and shot Murphy, then shot Sweeny in the right arm, and then fired several shots with a revolver at the boat; that none of the party ha f firearms; that when the Captain fired the gun was held over the side of the vessel, Murphv being about five feet below the Captain. The evi dence of these three witnesses was very con tradictory as regarded each other’s testimony, and several facts were brought outdurii g the cross-examination which were damaging to their different statements. Dr. John A. Johnson, who was placed on the stand by the prosecution, testified that he made an examination of Murphy’s body at the Inquest in Beaufort the day after the shooting, and found that the wound had been made by birdshot at close range, and that there was but a slight decline in the course of the shot; that in his opinion the parties must have been nearly on a level; that the clothes of the de ceased were scorched, and that the wound was about two inches in diameter on the left breast. Here the State rested, and the defense placed upon the stand in the order named the follow ing witnesses: M. Mehan,Deputy Sheriff, Beau fort; Simon Wethers, colored; John Murray, pilot; Henry May, Deputy Sheriff, Charleston; Wm. Wilson, Sheriff, Beaufort; Richard Jen kins, colored, and Captain Thomas and First Officer Richards, the prisoners at the bar. In brief, the witnesses for the defense testi fied, in substance, that Sweeny wasadesperate character; that he had been engaged for some time in the business of enticing sailors away from ships after they had been articled, and after he had drawn their advance money to liquidate the real or imaginary claims he held against them; that Murphy was also an unruly ruffian, and had long been with Sweeny and others In the nefarious business they were en gaged In, and was merely a runner for a sailor boarding house; that McKai. was what is known among seafaring men as a “nautical tramp.” wlio travelled from port to port “beating” or assisting to “beat” shipmasters, and that Drummond was formerly a stevedore, but had left that honorable occu pation to follow the apparently more lucra tive one of “jumping advances;” that the three parties had signed themselves, or had had signed for them, assumed names upon the shipping papers; that Murphy always carried upon his person a sheath knife of ample pro portions; that when the party arrived at Beau fort they offered to pay Simon Wethers not less than eight dollars each to be taken to the ship and brought back; that Wethers refused be cause he was afraid trouble would come of such an undertaking; that they then hired James Smith to perform that duty for ten dol lars each; that they were very drunk, or ap parently so, when they left Beaufort for the barkentine; that they boarded the Sunbeam with no baggage except a bed of straw each, with the exception of the fourth man, a colored man named Hull, who carried hi3 “kit,” and went on the voyage with the Sunbeam; that no sooner were they aboard than they picked a quarrel with a colored man, who was an old hand on the ship, and beat him severely in the forecastle: that the colored man escaped from them and fled to the cabin; that the Captain and the mate came up to quell the outbreak, and were violently threatened by Murphy and Drummond, the former of whom struck down and booted the negro brutally about the face and head; that it was impossible to re strain the rioters in their violence until Sweeny bade them wait: that shortly everything quiet ed, and the crew retired to their quarters, leaving the deck bloody in many places from the fracas which had taken place, ana the in jured man suffering from his bruises; that Sweeny returned to the cabin and concluded the money arrangements he was making with the Captain, after which he went into the fore castle and had a long, confidential conversa tion with the three white sailors who had come aboard with him; that he then came forth, bade them good bye, ordered Smith to get aboard the small boat, and walked aft to the same; that after he was in the boat Drummond and tne others came aft and started to get into the boat, “to shake hands;” that Captain Thomas ordered them to their quarters; that they persisted in their design and sprang aboard: that Smith and Sweeny had drawn the boat along th* side of the vessel much nearer to the bow than it lay when the “painter” was first cast off; that an ordinary man standing erect in the small boat would have had his head and shoulders above the rail of the Sunbeam; that the Bur beam was loaded and ready for sea, and lay very low in the water: that the Captain grasped the iron jib stay and ordered the men to return aboard, threatening to shoot them if they disobeyed; that they cursed him and he snapped an empty pistol at them; that they ktill refused obedience and he called for his gun; that the boatswain brought a shot gun at full cock which had been loaded that day with small shot to shoot birds; that the Captain had the jib stay with his right hand; that the gun was taken by him with his left hand and rest ed upon the rail; that all this time the Captain was caking upon the men to return; that Mur phy sprang to the bow of the small boat aDd slashed at the Captain with his knife; that while slashing and cutting at the Captain, and resting his knee upon the side of the bark, the Captain shot him with one barrel of the fowl ing piece, and he desisted from his efforts; that the Crptain then observing Sweeny draw his pistol and level it at him, fired the other barrel to disarm him J the shot taking effect in Sweeny’s right arm; that the men in the small boat huddled on the bottom of the same, and it floated some dis tance from the ship with the side toward the shipcareened up so as to hide the occupants fro.n the range of the Captain, who fired his revolver several times in the air to intimidate them, he not knowing at that time that his first shot had proved a fatal wound; that Sweeny, when leaving Charleston with the men, told a party that he was going to Bull River to beat a “lime-juicer” out of an advance; that the Cap tain, as soon as the boat passed away from the bark, prepared a statement In writing of the whole affair and requested Pilot John Mur ray, who was aboard, to transmit it immediate ly to Sheriff Wilson, of Beaufort, which was done. These are about the main facts elucidated, and the defense rested. The court adjourned until this morning, when the consideration of the case was resumed. W. J. Yerdier, Esq., one of the attorneys for the defense, then made a most exhaustive and convincing argument upon the evidence, going over the entire ground with careful and de liberate steps, and closing with a most power ful appeal to the jury in behalf of his clients. At the close of Mr. Verdier's remarks, which occupied about an hour and a half, and were lis tened to by a large and attentive audience. Col Wm. Elliott appeared for the defense in a graceful speech of about two hours. Touch ing upon tha salient points of the case, be quoted from the laws in regard to the same with skill and ability. His perorations awoke an echo in every heart, and there was scarcely a dry eye in the house when he drew a picture of the wife and little children of the Captain, thre* thousand mile* away in Swansea, anx ously awaiting a telegram from the loved one containing the single word “acquitted,” and that, too. at the hands of a fair and im partial jury of American citizens. In a word, the arguments of the learned counselors were a marvel of completeness, of legal finish and of stirring eloquence. After this the Solicitor, Mr. Gault, who is undoubtedly an able and efficient officer, de livered an argument of as much strength as possible under the circumstances of the case, at the conclusion of which His Honor Judge Wallace delivered his charge, and with calm dignity expounded the laws in relation to the matters at issue. The jury' remained out about fifteen anxious minutes. On their return a verdict of “not guilty” was rendered.

She SJeu’S. NO. 3 WHITAKER BTRF.ET. moaNiNG sews building). J. *l. ESTILL. Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSON, Editor. THURSDAY. APRIL 14. 18S1 TAPPING THE WIRES. The contract between the Georgia Rail road Directors and the owners of the South Carolina Road was signed at the Georgia Railroad Bank in August* yesterday, and the property was formally given up to the lessees. Mr. W. M. Wadley is the central figure in the transaction. In an interview yesterday he stated that the alliance be tween the three roads in interest was neces sary to protect this section of the country from the encroachments of the Clyde syndicate. He said that the new arrangement would not in j are Augusta, though it would build up Savannah and Charleston. Public sentiment in Augusta is divided, though for the most part there is no obj ection to a closer combination with those two seaports. There is, however, a sentiment in favor of an independent line to the West from that city. Only one di rector of the Georgia Road, Mr. George T. Jackson, of Augusta, opposed the lease. The matter is final and conclusive, as the directors own a majority of the stock. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Pendleton gave his views on the question of the elec tion of Senate officers. Mr. Dawes haviog declared that Mr. Mahone had been ap proached bv the Democrats for his vote, Messrs. Hijl and Htrris emphatically denied the assertion. Mr. Mahone said no Senator had approached him on that subject. He then wished to know what Mr. Hill meant when he said on Thursday last: “We would not have bought it” Mr. Mahone’s vote). A heated debate then followed between Messrs. Hill and Mahone, in the course of which Mahone avowed that no man less than a coward would convey the meaning Mr. Hill’s words implied. Mr. Hill retorted that it was not in Mr. Mihone’a power to insuit anybody. The Senate then adjourned. Great excitement prevailed in Atlanta yesterday when it became known that the Citizens’ Bank, a State depository, had closed its doors. There were $103,000 Of State funds in the bank, and the city of At lanta and the Western and Atlantic Rail road had considerable sums there. The Associated Press dispatch says the liabilities are about $2u0,000, and it is thought they are covered by the assets. The trial of the West Point Cadet Jeau mont B. Buck, of Texas, at Newburgh, N. Y., resulted yesterday in his acquittal, it being proved that he was outrageously per secuted. Sarah Bernhardt was seized with a con gestive chill at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, yesterday. Several persons were killed or Injured, and a number of houses wrecked by a severe wind storm at and near Hernando, Miss., Tuesday. Mr. Gordon, one of the “traversers,” has been arrested under the coercion act. The Porte advises the Bey of Tunis to re press the disorders on the frontier and thus avoid the need of French intervention. The fbpido Romano, a leading Italian journal, says Italy never had and has not now any intention of going to war with France. The Society of the Cincinnati yesterday convened in Charleston. The proceedings were secret. Hon. Hamilton Fish presided, and a large number of delegates were present. A Leadville stage driver entered the thea tre and gambling house at Durango, Colo rado, on the 10th inst., and fired on the crowd, killing a peacable citizen. He was placed in jail, but masked vigilantes later took him out and hanged him. Director General Kimball yesterday ex plained the aims of the Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, in Philadelphia. Of the $300,- 000, requisite for its success, $140,000 has been raised thus far. The town of Glover’s Gap, Marion coun ty, Virginia, is desolated by an epidemic of small pox. The physicians are sick and the dead are unburied. The Governor was tele graphed for aid to bury the victims, but re ferred the matter back to the county au thorities. De Jarnette, who killed his sister in Dan ville, Va., last summer, was again put on trial there yesterday. Expert evidence, as to his alleged insanity, will be heard. The New York stock market yesterday opened firm. There was later a considera ble decline, but the market closed firm at a recovery. Sales were 300,000 shares. General Skobeloff reports the Tekke- Turcomaus thoroughly subdued and is marching eastward. The London Daily Sews thinks some explanation of his move ments desirable. (■rant's Designs on Mexico. An old West Pointer who knows Grant well say s: “The ex President has landed in Mexico, and his arrival there is as pregnant with fate to that country as was the landing of Cortez. Mexico lias been a dream with him ever since he was there as a boy soldier—for he was nothing more —and was intoxicated with its possibilities for empire and enjoy ment. Grant says now that he wants sixteen years in which to develop the country. In six years he will be its President; in ten years its dictator. He goes there as a patriot, and the ‘outs’ will take up with him as a good man to head their column. Grant talks about trade, and no doubt he means railroads and importations and all that, but it is not safe to say that you can tell from his conversation just what he is thinking about. Grant means bigger business in Jlexico than any of his friends have yet given him credit for.” We have seen an extract fro*’'- a pri vate letter which affords the strongest proof of the correctness of the position assumed by this paper from the first— and reiterated in our article of y esterday —upon the tendency of an arbitrary Railway Commission law, such as we have In Georgia, to inevitably frighten capital from investing in railway enter prises in the State. This letter was writ ten to a gentleman in this city by a gen tleman of Alabama (where the Commis sion, it will be remembered, is purely an advisory board) who represents a strong company of English capitalists controlling considerable railroad prop erty in that State, and who have made large investments. It was of a strictly private business character, making in quiry as to a certain railway policy to be pursued in Alabama, but we are per mitted to copy the extract ulluded to, which is as follows: ‘‘So far as our board are concerned noth ing definite has been decided upon, so many valuable schemes are open to us. We had such a fright by the projected legislation in Alabama that my people bad resolved to draw out and not spa.d any more money. (Italics ours.) Now, however, that a commission has been established upon a basis that seems fair and ju6t, we shall reconsider various ojects, with a view to the adoption of eof them." 5 Blockade in the Indian Bureau.— A Washington dispatch says: “The effect of the obstruction of public busi ness by the Republicans of the Senate is Been daily at the Indian Bureau. A nomination for Commissioner of this bureau is lying on the table of the Sen ate, while the business of this important bureau is at a complete standstill. In consequence of the absence of any bead of the bureau Ld the sickness of the chief clerk there is no one to Eign papers or to superintend business. The Com missioner of Patents, who was tempo rarily designated by the President for Ibis purpose, is not able to attend.” Sensible Advice to Democratic Sena tors. In a recent issue of the Boston Post that sterling Democratic paper indulges in the following sensible remarks: ‘lt seems to be understood that Sen ator Conkling is to make war on the Robertson nomination. In this event he calculates on Democratic Senators, for without their aid his opposition would be fruitless. That he ought not to have. On general principles the President’s nomination should be confirmed unless there is objection to the nominee that affects the public service. No such ex cuse exists in this case. The matter then resolves itself into one of policy. It is of first importance for the Democratic party to break the power which Mr CoDkling wields in the great and pivotal State of New York. 'To connive at the rejection of Robertson on the score of professional friendship would be a great blunder on the part of any Democrat. The Democrats in the Senate occupy in this matter a trusteeship for the benefit of their party. They owe nothing but opposition to Conkling’s wishes. He has never done anything for them or their party, but is the most dangerous foe in the field.” The above is exactly in accord with the sentiments expressed *in these columns when the war between the stal wart faction of the Republican party under Conkling, and the more conserva tive element of that party under Gar field, was first spoken of. Conkling is undoubtedly the great head centre of his party in New York, and with the pre sent nearly equal division of par ties in the country, the vote of New York State is well nigh decisive in a Presidential contest. It is, for this reason, the main object for which both parties strive, and, as a mat ter of policy, Democrats should, above all things, seek to break the strength of the New York Senator in his State. Should he persist in his contest with the President—and he must so persist, since to surrender now would be almost as hurtful to him as defeat—the Democratic Senators should, by all mean3, be found on the side of Garfield, for a defeat of the latter would tend to strengthen Conk ling vastly in the Presidential contest of 1884. and, in all probability, enable him to dictate the Republican Presidential nomination at that time. Apart from this, however, what possi ble claim has Conkling upon the Democ racy? When Mr. Garfield was in Con gress he fought against the Democratic party vigorously, it is true; but he did so as a Republican Congressman, always recognizing the obligations of courtesy, and confining himself strictly to properly representing his constituents. Besides this, he has, since his election, given on various occasions, and more espe cially in this matter of Robert son’s nomination, unmistakable evidence that he strongly sympathizes with the more conservative element of his party. Conkling, on the other hand, has not only invariably attempted in the Senate to bully, browbeat JJand treat with inso lent arrogance his political opponents: but he has ever sympathized with the must ultra Radicals. More than this, he has gone outside his way to villify the Democratic party, and denounce them in the bitterest terms that his vocabulary of abuse could furnish. Specially has he deemed it his duty to slander and mis represent the South, and stir up sectional hate against us. It i3 very evident that Conkling is relying upon Democratic support to carry his point in the matter of this Robertson nomination. We hope he may be disappointed. Democratic Sena tors owe it to their own self-respect as well as to their party and constituents to do all in their power against the hero of Canonchet, and therefore in this an ticipated contest between the adminis tration and himself to cast their votes solidly in favor of the President. The Waycross and Jacksonville Rail road. The above road will be formally open ed on the first of May next, that date having been selected so as to give abun dant time for placing the line in thorough order before throwing it open to the pub lic. This determination to forego the temptation to inaugurate travel and freight tariff over the road before it is completely appointed in every respect,so as to ensure safety and dispatch, is high ly, commendable. It was constructed by the Waveross and Florida Railroad Com pany to the St. Mary’s river, and by the East Florida Railway Company from the St. Mary’s river to Jacksonville, and this latter company has made an arrangement with the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company for the operation of the entire line from Waycross to Jack sonville in connection with its own sys tem. We are informed that the road has been built in the mo3t substantial man ner, and speed, safety and comfort will be the one object of the management. Nothing to secure these desirable ends will be omitted, and no new road, so complete in all the details of construction and equipment as this will be, has ever been opened in this section of country. New and pow erful locomotives wiil speed the traveler on his way in elegant passenger coaches, while the freight service of the new line will be fully adapted to all requirements. The people of Savannah are to be congratulated upon the great commercial benefits which will enure to the city through the medium of this line, while our Florida friends will, by it, be brought so close to us that they will be near neighbors in every sense of the word. We understand that invitations will soon be issued to the business men of Jack sonville, Savannah and Charleston, and their families and lady friends, to avail themselves of the courtesies of the line for a free trip over it on tickets good for thirty days after the opening. No doubt this invitation will be heartily responded to, and those who do avail themselves thereof will be afforded ample opportunities to test the truth of all we have written in its com mendation. Mr. Wolfe, one of the Republicans in the Pennsylvania Legislature who do not wear the Cameron livery, had the au dacity to say, on the occasion of a reso lution being passed endorsing the action of the Republican Senators at Washing ton in fighting for Gorham and Riddle berger, that “he thought the little sand bar of repudiation in Virginia a frail foundation to build on, and he for one could not indorse the coalition with Ma hone, who was elected in full accord with the national Democratic ticket and basely betrayed it on entering the United States Senate, lie had no admiration for such a man; on the contrary, he de spised him.” The Camerons evidently will he compelled to hunt this Wolfe out of the party, as he is decidedly too honest for their purposes. It seems that the Clyde combination have not yet secured the stock of the city of Athens in the Northeastern Railroad. The Council of that city have merely received a proposition from the Rich mond and Danville Road, looking even tually to the control of such stock, and this proposition is to be submitted to the popular vote about tire letter part of this month. Colonel Avery’s New Book. dfttnfa Constitution. Colonel I. W. Avery has about ready for the press what must prove to be a most entertaining book. It is a history of the past twenty-five years In Georgia, modeled somewhat after the “Memories” of Colonel W. H. Sparks. Hardly formal and steady enough for history, it will be more consequential than mere personal gossip. It is a shame and blot upon the name of our State that we have no com plete history, recounting the deeds of her sons, the progress of her institutions or the wisdom and sincerity of her life. As there seems to be no prospect for getting such a work as a whole, the next best thing is to take it in sections or scraps. The period selected by Colonel Avery covers the most dramatic part of Geor gia’s history. It covers the lurid and turbulent days that preceded the war be tween the States —the whole of that war itself, in which from the first to last Georgia bore a conspicuous part, furnish ing many of its leaders and the theatre for its most terrific and decisive strug gles—the strenuous and bitter contest over reconstruction that followed, and the glorious era of rehabilitation in which we are now living. Indeed, Colonel Avery has the elements and opportunity for the making of a great book, one that will live to the honor of his State and himself. To leave out events themselves, what a masterly array of men there are to touch his pen with fire. Bob Toombs, the genius of revolution, moving like a king among the men of ’6O, hurrying with unstayed hand to let slip the ele ments of a war in the smoke and din of which his power and kingliness were to be lost forever. Gordon, who, with pulses kindling in his boyish wrist, moved to the right hand of Lee and fought like a demigod through the scenes that broke his chieftain’s heart. Brown, the pallid, forceful mountaineer who held the helm through Georgia’s blood iest days, and went through a revolution as the foil of its President, standing for the sovereignty of the States against a centralized confederacy. Ben Hill, the matchless orator and constitutional debater, who led the forces of the administration in the Confederate Sen ate and modeled the judicial system for the struggling South. Howell Cobb, the wise and eloquent statesman, who chal lenged more national thought, perhaps, than any Georgian, except Crawford, and came out of the Cabinet to stand with his people. Francis Bartow and Tom Cobb—those early martyrs to a cause to which both had con secrated their lives—lost, as comets that fill the skies with glory and then sweep beyond the reach of mortal vision. Colquitt, the brave soldier, the pure statesman and the leader whose life re pelled and whose strength defied a cru sade of accusation that seemed over whelming—ail these and hundreds of others, of kinship in worth and reputa tion with these, who marched through the thrilling and desperate scenes of the past three decades, with the hearts of men and the consecration of saints. Ah! there is an impulse and inspiration in the lives of these men—in the history of Georgia’s aspiration and achievement in the thirty years gone, that wou'd fill the wrist of an imbecile with throbbing and eager sentences. We shall look with the greatest interest for the appearance of Colonel Avery’s book. The Saints iu Council. The Fifty-first Annual Conference of the Mormons wa3 opened last week by President John Taylor, who told the listening saints that they had much to be thankful for, and professed a kindly benevolence toward the whole human family. Apostle Wilford Woodruff, the next speaker, got down to business in these words: “We have suffered much, and we are told that it is the result of our practising the principle of patriarchal marriage. If we compromise this, we should then have to renounce all other principles we have, and I say that if we do not shrink we shall still be sustained. The God of heaven holds our destiny in His hands; He controls the armies of theworld. Let us, therefore, not renounce any princi ple; let us do our duty all the time.” Apostle Lorenzo Snow followed in the same strain; the saints, he said, could afford to be driven from their homes, to lose their property, but they could not afford to give up their principles. Apostle Richards exhorted the brethren not to borrow trouble, since, if they kept the commandments, all would be well; still, they knew not what they might be called upon to go through. President George O. Cannon said the agitation against the church did not worry him; that was the normal state of things; it was when everything was quiet that he became anxious. He prophesied that some of those listening to his voice would live to see the time when the saints would “have to go to the rescue of, and maintain, free government on this continent.” Presi dent Joseph F. Smith, after solemnly warning all Mormon fathers who had sent children to Gentile schools that they would smart for it in the next world, re peated Apostle Woodruff’s assertion that, in the present agitation against the church, polygamy was merely a conveni ent pretext. “It is our priestly organi zation they are opposed to,” said Presi dent Smith; “break the welded chain between men and God, and they would care no more for our polygamy than they do for the crimes of New York.” Then Apostle Erastus Snow prophesied that the persecutors of the saints, at Wash ington and elsewhere, would be destroy ed. The Cowpens Ceutennial. The following notice has been issued by the Cowpens Centennial Committee: “Charleston, S. C. April 7, 1881. “The descendants of the officers and men from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia and Tennessee, who fought under General Daniel Morgan at Cowpens, 17th January, 1781, are respectfully requested to send their addresses to the under signed at their earliest convenience, as the Committee of Arrangements desire to invite specially all such to attend in a body the ceremonies of unveiling the memorial column erected by the old thirteen States and the State of Tennes see. appointed for 10 o’clock on May 11th, 1881, at Spartanburg, S. C. “Lieut. George B. Edwards, Secretary Cowpens Committee.” There were, according to Bancroft, the historian, about two hundred Geor gians engaged in the battle of Cowpens, most of whom were from the settlements in the vicinity of Savannah, then the only portion of the State open to settle ment. It is proper that the descendants of the heroes of that memorable bat tie should participate in the centennial celebration, and it is to be hoped that they will promptly respond to the invi tation of the committee by furnishing their addresses to the Secretary, Lieut. Edwards. The Ohio Legislature has passed the bill submitting to the popular vote an amendment to the constitution prohibit ing the sale of liquor in that State. It is probable that it will be carried, as the Cincinnati election shows the temper ance people to be very strong in the State. Even if it is not, it will split up the Republicans on the liquor question, and give the State to the Democrats. Such is the feeling in Ohio. The negro exodus from the South has revived, more than 500 persons leaving Huntington, Tenn., during the past few weeks. It is to be noted, however, that these emigrants leave the only Southern State which has a Republican Governor, and are emigrating from the very county where that Governor, Hawkins, resides.

Longstreet and the Georgia Mar* shalship. Washington, April 12. —The following letter from Senator David Davis, the Independent, explains itself: Washington. April B.—Dear Sir—l am much obliged for the friendly expression in your let ter. In my judgment the best hope for the country is through a reconstruction of parties. Our politics have become degraded into a shameful scramble for the spoils of office. For weeks past the Senate, which is supposed to represent the best intellect of both sides, has been engaged in an unseemly struggle for small places, and now. at the very start of a new administration, the Republican factions are arraigned against each other over the patronage. Great corporations and consolidated monopo lies are fast seizing the avenues of power that lead to control of the government It is an open secret that they rule States, through pro cured legislators land corrupted courts; that they are strong in Congress, and that they are unscrupulous in the use of means to conquer prejudice and to acquire influence. This condition of things is truly alarming, for unless it be changed quickly and thoroughly, free Institutions are doomed to be substituted by an oligarchy, resting upon a basis of money, and of corporate Dower. Every farmer in the West is bound hand and foot by the manacles of monopoly. Corporations prescribe the value of h*s hard labor, and his crop is absolutely at their mercy. Who proposes on either side to protect the just rights of the great agricultural com munify with twenty five millions of popula tion Corporations not only lew toll on the in dustry of the farmers, but every blanket with which their children are warmed.every plough share that turns the soil, and the necessary articles of household economy; are taxed by an exorbitant tariff for the profit of monopoly. How can resistance be auccessfullv made against corporate power when both the great parties are organized and run as close corpora tions. Leading newspapers recognized as Re publican and Democratic organs are directed and ordered hv grasping monopolists to sub serve their selfish schemes and to restrain op position to them in either party. Their only politics is greed and gain. One party retains possession of the government for a quarter of a century- by methods which would long ago have condemned it to crushing de feat’ but for the errors of Democratic leaders, always committed at the worst time. For long years past the Republican party has existed upon sectional agitation, and by the follies of its opponents. There are hundreds of thou sands of pure and patriotic men in both organi zations, who are rendered wholly powerless by the machine management of each, and who are politically enslaved bv leaders that scarce ly unite whenever a venal object is to be gained by combination. Regular nominations.dictated by professional politicians, and the irresponsible caucus, di rected by a few ambitious leaders, control na tional, State and municipal politics. They put up candidates, construct platforms, and pro claim patriotic principles in fine phrases, which are mere shams. Practical reform is impossible on any large sca’e. while one hundred thousand offices and a patronage represented in some five hundred millions of annunl receipts and expenditures, are offered as the prizes of success. The party in possessions, disciplined and led like a regular armv, has an enormous advantage, which is somewhat crippled by the bitter rivalry of its chiefs. Unfortunately for the Democratic party, a prejudice exists in tho Northern mind that it was hostile to the Union during the civil war. The fact that tens of thousands of Demo crats, many of them, too. from the slave-hold ing States, nobly volunteered their services for, and offered up their lives in defense of the old Hag, does not affect this belief; while that prejudice exists, the chances for the Democratic party are limited, however pa triotic its purposes may be. If the mere name should be abandoned, the Republican party would die from the want of an opposition that now serves to keep it alive. A national party, founded on harmony be tween all parts of the Union, healthy reform of abuses, economy in public expenditures, rigid accountability of officers, honest civil service, free and fair elections, upright ob servance of all constitutional obligations, and maintenance of the public credh. would be gladly welcomed by the people Republicans and Democrats alike seek to be emancipated from the vulgar despo’ism of the “machine,” which is common to both parties. There a--e cheering signs that the end of this domination draws near in t.' e popular demand for good government, without respect to party. Ring rule must be overthrown, or it will stop the wheels of progress and destroy the founda tions of social order. These opinions have long been entertained without the least desire for concealment. With high respect. David Davis. John Martin, Esq Topeka, Kansas. LJUF TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS. The following letter is of interest to dealers in leaf tobacco in all parts of the country: Treasury Department, i Office of Internal Revenue. Washington, D. C., March IS, 1881. 1 Hon. Jno.F. House. Clarksville. Tenn: Sir—As per request contained in your letter of the 9th inst., 1 enclose copies of circular No. 231. which contains the amendment to the eighth subdivision of section 3244 of thellsited States Revised Statutes, approved June 16th, 1880, and the general construction given by this office to that amendment. Various questions have been proposed by cor respondents relative to their privileges and liabilities under this amendment. In response, the following rulings have been made: First. The act of June llith, 1880, was not in tended to confer any special benefit uoon per sons who were already engaged in the business of handling leaf tobacco, or to relieve them from any portion of the special tax which they were required to pay. It was intended to en able persons who grow small patches of tobacco primarily for their own use to dispose of any surplus so grown by exchanging or selling it to country storekeepers who would be authorized to buy it. in the hards of those persons,and to sell or dispose of it to leaf dealers, manufactu rersof tobacco, snuff and cigars, and to ex porters, provided the annual sales did not ex 02ed25,tW pounds.by the payment of a special tax of only five dollars. Second. A leaf dealer who handles tobacco under a five dollar special tax stamp other wise than as specially provided in the act of June 16, 1830, renders himself liable to pay the special tax of a leaf dealer under the general provisions of the law imposing a tax ou leaf dealers, although he has or may handle less than 25,000 pounds during the period for which the special tax is paid. Third. Persons who are engaged in buying, selling or shipping and consigning leaf tobacco in competition w ith other leaf dealers, is put up and prepared for and received "and handled at tobacco warehouses are liable to pay special tax as leaf dealers under the pro visions of the sixth suh-division.of section 3,741, United States Revised Statutes," and not under the provisions of the act of June 16, 1880. Fourth. The act of June 16, 1880, authorizes and directs the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in case any person has paid a special tax of five dollars and shall have been found to have handled more than 25,000 pounds of leaf tobacco in any one special tax year, to assess such person for the difference between the special tax paid by him and the special tax of twenty-five dollars imposed on dealers in leaf tobacco. 'lhe liability of any person to such an assessment will be fixed and determined when his sales or consignments for gale on commiision shall have reached the limit of 25.000 pounds w thin the period of time for which he has paid a spe cial tax. If limit is reached prior to the com mencement of the next special tax year he will be liable to an assessment, and the amount of the assessment will be the difference between a special tax of five dollars and a special tax of twenty-five dollars, computed for an entire year, or i ro rata for the period of the liability to special tax, to-wit: for a whole vear S2O, for nine months sls, for six months $lO, and so on. When a liability has thus been ascertained it is to be entered on Form 23, and reported to the office of Internal Revenue for assessment. Respectfully, Queen B. Raum, Commissioner. NATIONAL AND STATE TAXES. The following letter from Commissioner of Internal Revenue Raum involves a principle and decides a question: Louis Holzendorf, Esq., Pearson, Ga.: Sir—ln reply to your letter of the 21st in stant, I have to inform you that, under the in ternal revenue law, and for revenue purposes, special taxes are imposed by the General Gov ernment on persons engaged in certain trades or business; also, specific taxes are imposed upon certain manufactured products. In cluded in the first class, are persons engaged in the business of selling distilled spirits, wines, malt liquors, etc., and in the second class are included distilled spirits, malt liquors and medicinal bitters, and various compounds composed in pait of oistilled spirits. Under the internal revenue law the sale of compounds which have been decided by this office to be medicinal and subject to stamp tax, are allowed to be sold witho .t the pav ment of a special tax as a liquor dealer. The law. however, expressly provides—see section 3243 United States Revised Statutes—that: "The payment of any tax imposed by the in ternal revenue laws for carrying on any trade or business shall not be held to exempt any person from any penalty or punishment pro vided by the laws of any State for carrying on the same within such State, or in any manner to authorize the commencement or continuance of such trade or business contrary to the laws of such State, or in places prohibited by munici pal law; nor shall the payment of any such tax be held to prohibit any State from placing a levy or-tax on the same trade or business, for State or other purposes.” You will see by the law which I have quoted that neither the payment of a special tax of a liquor dealer, nor the payment of the stamp tax under Schedule A., confers any right upon an individual to sell such articles contrary to the laws of the Btate of Georgia, nor does it prevent the State of Georgia from placing a tax on the same trade or business for State purposes. Respectfully, (Signed] Green B. Raum, Commissioner. general longstreet’s cask. This letter seems to be composed almost en tirely of letters written by other people. I will try to vary it a little in that particular by quoting what Senator Frye says about General Longstreet's appointment as Marshal of Geor gia Senators Hale and Frye and Secretary Blaine are urging ex-Marshal Smyth for that place. Said Senator Frye: “lies; I know-that General Longstreet’s nomination as Marshal of Georgia has beeu made out, but it will never go to the Senate. There was a misapprehen sion on the part of both Attorney General JlacVeagh and President Garfield about it. The idea was that Longstreet would do much to ward building up the Republican party in Georgia. Now, Longstreet is no politi cian, and can do nothing of the_ kind. _ He has never taken any active part in politics. Politics is not his forte. The Georgia Marshal ship ought to be given to someone who takes an interest in political matters. Ibis view of the case has been presented to the President and the Attorney General. The latter has with drawn the recommendation that he made for Longstreet's appointment. He will not be ap pointed. The President said as much to-day. Mr. Frye also said that in his opinion Smyth— who is a Maine man by the way— would be Col. FiUslmons’ successor. Potomac. ATLANTA CHAFF. A. Melsuge of MatEers— Booming Travel—Tlie Cotton Exposition and KUnball—The Recent Bank Fall* nre In Rome—The State Four Per Cents—Atlanta Enterprise—Scraps. Atlanta, Ga., April 11.—There has never been a winter in the experi nee of Atlanta when there has been such a tide of hotel pat ronage as this one. The Kimball House has been crammed to its utmost capacity, and its exquisite and capacious dining room filled daily to overflowing. There are also a very large number of families of residents enjoying its fine fare. There seems to be an increased disposition among families to board, probably growing out of the difficulty of getting good servants, a difficulty that seems to be getting greater. Mr. Scoville, the proprietor of the Kimball House, is a re markable young man, who is destined to be the leading hotel manager of the South. He looks like a youth, is slender, smooth-faced, erect and quiet, and one would never imagine him the genius of a great superbly kept hotel, with a wonderful capacity for management and business. He has had the cleverness to inau gurate an attractive home for families. He has delightful concerts twice a week. His terms are such that men of moderate means can af ford to board with him. He has thus solved a very important problem of vast value, viz: furnishing a first-class boardiDg place within the range of an ordinary income. THE COTTON EXPOSITION. Our big Cotton Exposition bids fair to be an entire success. It is a grand scheme not only for Atlanta’s benefit, but for the State’s advan tage; and it, properly utilized, contains the germ of good for the South, the Union and the world The concentration of ingenuity and en terprise upon the production and manufacture of cotton, the controlling staple of the world, cannot but result in the invention and discovery of improved methods and machinery. Every effort is being made to give a practical direc tion to the enterprise, and to insure its complete success. The selection of H. I. Kimball to can vass for it is admirable. Mr. Kimball has a su preme genius for grand things like this, which appeal to the admiration ef men and use other people’s money. It would pay any ambitious city to employ him to think up and work up schemes of public utility and adornment. His invention is extraordinary; his resources inex haustible and varied. He is a plausible talker, with a vivid fancy for roseate possibilities. As President of a cotton factory, or any such place requiring economy and careful management he could not be a success. Ido not know of a team less fitted to make a cotton factory pay its owners than Mr. Kiinbill and his good friend Mr. Bullock. The fate of the cotton factory, which lias gone into the hands of a receiver recently upon the motion of one of the main owners, is an illustration in point. The thing went night and day, and gorgeous reports flaired out aloDg at intervals, but the inevitable smash came. Mr. Kimball, I have no doubt, had in view three or four railroads and perhaps eight or ten great iron foundries in contemplation to be built out of the profits of the factory. But none the less did the re ceiver turn up. And Mr. Kimball has lit upon his feet light in the lead of the Cotton Exposi tion, and he is just where his undeniable quali ties suit precisely, where he can be of real public benefit. Ope of the finest features of this fine project is the competitive raising of cotton under the supervision of the Commissioner of Agricul ture. There are twenty half acre lots that have been allotted out, and some $2,000 of prizes will reward the superior competitors. Among the gentlemen who have put their names into this agricultural pot are Mr. Chas. Howard, Col. Tom Howard, Mai. Jim Warren, etc. The test of fertiiizers will be thorough. The sub soil plowing and two horse plowing that are going on are wonderful. Mr. Warthen, of Washington county, raised five bales of cot ton on one acre. He used pine straw largely, which has much potash iu it. No man can come in for the prizes unless he raises 1,000 pounds of seed cotton on his half acre. If his yield falls under this, he is out. THE BANK OF ROME. The failure of the Bank of Rome, one of the State depositories, illustrates the impolicy of the State depository Jaw. It was a popular measure, but an unwise one, and in contraven tion of sound policy. It removes responsi bility from the State Treasurer, inasmuch as it takes from him that control of the State’s funds that he alone should have, and for which he alone is bonded. It requires the deposit of more than a million of tax money in certain banks that give only a $50,010 bond under the law, and receive two and three times that amount of State deposits. The law requires the payment of the taxes of a large number of counties to these depositories, except what may be sent direct to the State Treasurer. The appointment of the depositories is for four years, and is limited to the State chartered banks. Between the State and national •banks, which may be the strongest, there can be no choice, but the State banks must be selected, though the weakest. The Treasurer should be left to the selection of depositories with the approval of the Governor, and then held responsiole if the money is lost. As it is now the Treasurer is relieved from all responsibility for the funds while in the cus tody of the depositories. The sworn reports of the Bank of Rome showed an entirely solvent condition, and yet it made a stunning break, that no official vigilance could forecist. Tem porary overdrafts to a large amount were made on the funds of the bank by officers of the bank for the accommodation of firms outside, to which they belonged, on speculation, and the crash came inevitably. Yet these sudden perilous uses of funds could neither be antici pated nor ate they reported. The system of State depositories, as at present operated, should be changed at the July sesson of the Legislature, or strong restrictions thrown around it. THE FOUR PER CENT. BONDS. Another unmitigated and plausible nuisance is the State four per cent, bonds. They were puffed and praisea. Made of small denomina tions of $5 and upwards, the issue cf $400,000 would have imposed in the record and payment of coupons an amount of clerical labor for the Treasurer’s office that would have taken the services of one clerk about all the time. The bonds were negotiated through the cleverness of Treasurer Kenfrce, who got the banks to take them as a consideration. A four per cent. SI,OOO bond may do, but a four per cent. $5, or $lO or SSO bond is a humbug, and but for an un oominoniy smaitTreasurer, would have proved failure and improperly given a blow to the State’s credit. The bonds have been nearly all redeemed, and the issue stopped. ATLANTA ENTERPRISE. Atlanta is growing marvelously. On every street are new buildings, some of them very ornate and ambitious. We have a rare set of progressive spirits here. I have always had a special admiration for Captain John Keeley as a typical specimen of the true Atlanta mer chant. A daring advertiser, punctiliously hon orable, audaciously and yet safely enterpris ing, a brilliant operator in seductive bargains, a model of business promptness and personal courtesy, and a prolific inventor of captivating surprises for his patrons, Captain Keeley, a gallant Confederate officer I regard as the retail merchant prince of Atlanta. We have in the Inmans here a very gifted set of busi ness men, that will become commercial mag nates. SCRAPS. Major Green, the Engineer of the Georgia Western Railroad, was here last week, and is about to commence the survey. The people here are so deeply interested in the l oad, and have been so often disappointed in the enter prise, that they feel uncertain about it. But General Gordon is going to build it, and it wiil be a magnificent stroke for Atlanta. We are having cold weather here yet. It is the latest spring known for years. Farming is very backward. Salvini played in “The Gladiator.” He is as fine a physical specimen of a man as was ever made, and he has genuine tragic genius. The people were delighted with him. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was played here. Let no more bloody shirts be waved hereafter. A drama that misrepresents the South and wounds every tradition of slaver)', that falsi fies a system so closely connected with our history and former social and civil regime, is played in our theatres without a word of even remonstrance. The troupe was a failure, but the people went out to see the thing and gave it a simple business verdict, without thought of its offensive philosophy. The Supreme Court is nearly through its labors. It dismissed the entire cases of one or two circuits at the start, reaching them before the lawyers could get here. The lawyers talk of getting the Legislature to reinstate these cases. But were Ia defendant in error I should fight such reinstatement as out of legislative power and an interference with judicial privi lege and right. The Supreme Court is having a great deal of trouble in getting Judges to preside when any of the court are disqualified. Under the new constitution a Judge of the Superior Court is to be substituted. But no provision was made for paying the expenses of such Judge. At first it was easy to get a conscript Judge, on account of the novelty of the thing, and the honor of presiding on the Supreme Bench, and appearing in the papers and reports as a Su preme Court Judge. But after the novelty wore off these gentlemen were very sensibly unwilling to pay twenty-five or thirty dollars for a barren honor worn out by usage. And so it has become a hard thing to get gentle men to preside in vacancies. The only remedy is for the July session of the Legislature to au thorize the payment of the traveling expenses of such conscripted Judges, and then it will be plain sailing. The matter is an important one and needs some remedy. Marian. Another Threatened Complication. The Washington Star says: "Should tho serious illness of Lieutenant Gov ernor Hoskins, of New York, terminate in death, another complication will be added to the trouble now existing be tween the President and the New York Senators over the Collectorship nomina tion for the port of New York. As is well known, Judge Robertson, the nomi nee, is a member of the New York Sen ate, but it is not so generally known that he is also President pro tem pore of that body. Hence, should Lieutenant Governor Hoskins die, Judge Robertson will become the Lieutenant Governor of New York. Some of Senator Conkling’s friends say in such event Robertson would gladly consent to the withdrawal of his name for the Col lectorship nomination. They even go further, and say the President would avail himself of such contingency to harmonize the differences in the party by withdrawing Robertson's name. The friends of the President, on the other hand, say he will not withdraw Robert son even in the event of Lieutenant Governor Hoskins’ death.

The remains were interred in Laurel Grove Cemetery. A New Ballad. We have received from Messrs. Ludden A Bates, publishers, their latest contribu tion to the songs commemorative of the war. This is a charming ballad, entitled “On the Rappahannock, or the Biue and the Gray.” The words are full of sentiment, and are set to a beautiful air by Mr. Ludden. We had ‘the opportunity of hearing it played and sung yesterday, acd feel as sured it will prove immensely popular in all sections of the country. It is gotten up in handsome 6tyle, and i* really one of the best songs of'lts class we have seen in some time. It is now on sale at the music house of Messrs. Ludden £ to 126, at which several sales were effected, and remained firm at that figure until about two o'clock, when there was a break, and it dropped to 124, no sales being made, however. In the afternoon there was another advance, and the market closed very strong at 127 bid and 128 asked. Georgia was strong throughout the day and showed a rapid advance. It opened at 139 bid, 140 and closed firm at 150 bid, with no takers. Augusta and Savannah* seven per cent guaranteed, in Ihe morning was quoted at 123 bid and 125 asked, and closed at 124 bid and 128 asked. Southwestern _ seven per cent guaranteed, opened at 115 bid, 116 asked, and closed at 117 bid and 118% asked. City of Savannah live per cents, showed a slight rise for the day, opening at 86 bid, 86% asked,and closing at 87 bid, 87% asked. In regard to the railroad combination ef fected at Augusta, the sentiment generally seemed to be that it would prove equally advantageous to the ports of Savannah acd Charleston. As an evidence of opinion on the subject, we may meution that one prominent citizen, who holds a number of shares of Central and wh® had been waiting for a good chance to sell out at a profit, announced that he had no stock on the market and intended to hold what he had as a permanent investment. He was satisfied that under this combination the company would pay a handsome dividend and its business be largely Increased. This is only one instance, but from general inquiry the opinion in the community seemed to be that the lease would be productive of great results, and was undoubtedly to the inter ests of the Central and Savannah, although Charleston would also be largely benefited. The impression prevailed among many that there was something behind this, and that the combination was only a part of a grand scheme of Jay Gould, who was work ing quietly through other parties. What basis there is for such an impres sion does not appear, and from what we learn from official sources think the suppositions in this respect are unfounded. The stiffening'of Central is also attributed to the reports in reference to the issue of dividend scrip of the Western Railroad of Alabama, which seems to be generally believed, as has been previously stated. Last evening the expectation was that Central would reach 130, possibly higher, before the sun 6ets this day. IMPORTANT MEETING. There will be a called meeting of the Di rectory of the Central Railroad to-day. Col. Wadley, with the Directors from Macon, At lanta and elsewhere, and other railroad offi cials, will arrive here from Augusta this morniug. It is not ascertained definitely what is the object of the meeting, but it is surmised to have some connection with the late action in Augusta, and it is cot improbable that some new features will be developed before the visitors leave. WHAT IS THOUGHT IN AUGUSTA. We clip the following extracts from an account in the Augusta Chronicle, showing how the lease is regarded In that city: President Phiuizy stated that the rent of the Georgia Railroad to the gentlemen named in the contract would be of great ad vantage to Augusta and the stockholders of the Georgia Railroad. The railroad shops would be retained here and probably en larged. The lessees would begin to make something for themselves out of the road after awhile, though they probably could not do it for the first two years. The meet ing of the stockholders in May would proba bly be the last that would ever be held. The stockholders would certainly be paid a dividend of 10 per cent, on their stock, and this would gradually be increased as the bonds were taken up and the interest thus paid reduced. The stock, paying 10 per cent., would be worth 175. Mr. Phinizy said it was 3 great mistake to suppose that the action of the board had to be ratified by the stockholders. The directors were the corporators, and could act without reference to the stockholders, who, in convection, were merely an ad visory council. If a majority of the stock holders voted against the rent of the road after the directors had made the contract, that would not abrogate it. Judge Wm. M. Reese said the new ar rangement would be of immense advantage to Charleston. A line of fine 6teamers be tween New York and that city would be at once established. This was not a lease in disguise to the Central Railroad. While Moses Taylorowned between three and four thousand shares in the Central Railroad, Mr. Sioan did not have a share. When asked where would the bank capital of the Geor gia Railroad Bank come from now, Judge Reese said it did not require any capital. It would have just as much to back it now as it ever did. The annual pay ment of $600,000 would be responsible, and any creditor could sue the company and get judgment which could be easily satisfied. He believed the stock of the Georgia Rail road was richly worth one hundred and fifty as a ten per cent, stock. He believed that the arrangement would work greatly to the advantage of the Georgia Railroad stock holdf rs. It was very probable that the South Caro lina and the Central Railroads would work in hsrmoriy together, and that Charleston and Savannah would be given equal advan tages. The reasons for this lease were fully out lined three weeks ago. Legal ob structions placed themselves in the wav to a lease by the Central Railroad, however, but the terms were re tained and the plan shifted to another quarter. Mr. Wadley determined to go over with tbe owners of the South Caro lina Railroad, and uniting with his friends Taylor and Sloan, put his plan into perfect form. How completely this was done, the conditions and agreements above recited prove, and the President of the Central Railroad by “this most ingenious paradox” becomes commander of the land and naval forces of Georgia and Carolina. Since the day when Gov. Joseph E. Brown seized Fort Pulaski and captured the arsenal at Augusta; since the time when Gen. Oglethorpe landed in the tide waters of the Savannah, no man has been more completely monarch of his survey or master of the situation in the South Atlantic than Wm. M. Wadley is just now.
