The Available Candidate.

The Macon Georgia. Journal and
Messenger, in an article upon the Presi-
Dental nomination at New York, says:
"The Southern Democracy, if we
know aught of their temper and pur-
noses. will vote in the New York Conven-
ton for the man, be he civilian or Fede-
raj General, who can win, whose strength
before the country is such as to insure
success, aud the consequent deliverance
of the South from the hands of the OPP
pressor. They will neither ask nor care
to know what he said, nor what he did
during the war. Let him show clean
record upon the great issues that now
crystalize public sentiment, and they
will be satisfied"
One of the leading reasons why Mr..
Pendletons nomination is so strongly
pressed by the people at this time is, that
he is, beyond question, the most avail
able candidate the Democracy can bring
into the field. With him to head our
ticket, and with the greenback question
a prominent issue in the canvass, sue
cess is reasonably certain. Mr.. Pendle-
ton is from q, 900 to 80, 900 votes stronger
in Ohio than any other man whom
the Democracy can run. He is certain
to carry this State. It's large electoral
vote renders it essential that it should be
recorded on the right side. Otherwise
we may, and probably will lose the cleo
ton. The antecedents of Ohio have been
more strongly anti-Damocratic than
those of Pennsylvania or New York. Of
the three large States she is the most
difficult to carry. In the nominations at
New York, particular reference should be
made to Democratic success IN Ohio,
upon which everything so vitality de-
ponds. Not only is Pendleton the strong
man in Ohio, but he is incomparably
more popular than any othe On Indiana,
Illinois and the other large Western
States, whose electoral votes we must
also obtain. Mr.. Pendleton is strong
because he represents a living and vital
issue of to-day, toward which mems
thoughts are directed, and upon which
they will vote without regard to the old
questions of the past. We can assure
our Southern friends that the available
candidate, the candidate ioho can tcin, is
the nominee of the Western Democracy.

The Seventeen Year Locust.

The editor ofthe California Aissouridn
has been handed the following remarks
upon the above subject by Mr.. J. c. Reed f,
who has seen this troublesome insect
appear three times:
The seventeen.yesr locust, or cicada,
will make its appearance in short time,
as it is within a short distance Of the top
of the ground now. There are many ru-
mors as to its dsathly powers, and the
large appendage resembling huge sting
would seem to justify them, but no fears
need arise, as it is perfectly harmless, all
naturalists having failed to discover pois-
onous matter in the insect. Its only mis-
sion above ground is the propagation Of
its species, in doing which it will literally
drill to death many young fruit trees,
depositing its eggs mostly in the branches
of last years growth, and will materially
injure many forest and shade trees this,
together with their inceEssnt grating
noise, constitutes the amount of their
annoyance, which naturally can be OF
but short duration, as they partake of no
food during their short sojourn above
ground. The name Of locust is sadly
out Of place when applied to this strange
insect So there lie no affinity between
them aud the Egyptian locust, which is
one OF the most voracious insects known.

How tho Chinese Economist in Fuel.

In all probability more fuel is wasted
in this country than in any other, and
yet fuel is by no means over abundant or
cheap with us. The Chinese have a
method which we scarcely suppose will
ever become generally adopted by us;
but it may afford hint. They mix
quantity of earth with the coal dust, in
sufficient proportion to make the mixture
adhere together when wet. After
thoroughly mixing the dust, earth and wa
ter, they take up enough to make ball two
and half to three inches in diameter,
and press aud squeeze it between their
hands, making it like ball. This is
then laid carefully down, and another
quantity is taken and pressed in the
same way. And so on till the whole is
prepared into halla They are then
placed in the sun to dry; after being
thoroughly dried, they are fit for use.
The Chinese, when they have made a
discovery never attempt to improve on
it; but experience on the part of foreign.
ers goes to show, that after the coal dust
and earth have been properly mixed with
the proper amount of water, instead Of
using the hands to make the mixture into
balls, it can be spread out on the ground,
say two inches deep, and thsn cut into
small square pieces, by means of a spade
or any sharp instrument. These square
pieces burn readily. A wooden mold
would answer well. The advantages of
this method are, that it saves the coal
dust, which otherwise would be wasted
and lost. and the balls easily ignite. The
fire does not last as long as fire made
of pure coal, but oftentimes only quick,
hot fire is required, its use being limited
10 a comparatively short time, as in cook.

Official accounts show that, according to the
incomplete returns received. the majority Tor
the ratification of the Constitution in Arkansas
is 1916. Gen. Gillem says that had the election
been conducted in strict compliance With3en-
eral Order No. 7. the adoption the constitu-
ton would have been indisputable, but in Pu-
laski county the total vote exceeds the total
number registered by 1875. This is explained
By the Registrars. who admit that they permit
ted persons whs were registered in other eOun-
ties to vote on the presentation Of their certif-
Gates Of registration. There were also other
irregularities Of the voting in that county, and
73O in Jefferson county. making 1875. There
are no means Of aseertsining whether they
were cast for or against the Constitution. as
each party charges the other with fraud.

SANTANA and Alta vela.

The bay of SANTANA, for the sale Of
which by ST. Domingo to the United
States there has bean some negotiations,
will hardly be brought about this time,
vet the proposition is creating an i'm
mense amount Of quarreling in St Do.
mingo, one party making capital oHt OF
il against the other. One agent, Senior
Pujol, came out to negotiate, but he was
hardly here before the government that
sent him was overthrow, andnow it is said
that another, Senior Eebos, is coming for
the same purpose in behalf OF the never
government. The little matter OF Alta
vela, however, which il now attracting 80
much attention in connection with i'm
parchment, and the withdrawal OF Judge
Black as one Of the Presidents counsel,
is a St. Domingo affair, and until that is
settled We need be bothered with nothing
more in the Dominican line.
Mr. Seward holds that the rival claims
as to Alta fela are beigeen two parties
Of American citizens, one q Baltimore
party, claiming the EBan0 deposits there
on, under act Of Congress. by right OF

Ryland Randolph, the editor oil the
Tuscaloosa Monitor, will have his trial
before the same court soon, II it has not
already begun. In his case, Judge Bus
teed, the circuit judge of the United
States Court for this district, granted
writ of Aabeas corpus, to be heard atthis
place before him next Tuesday, but Gen.
Meade refused to recognize it, and has
ordered the trial to proceed Judge
Busted has no particular claims upon
the Southern people, yet 1t seems that In
his official and judicial character he will
have to uphold the dignity of his court,
the edicts of which have been set
aside by the military, and perhaps we
may have regular Hunter contempt
case to grow out Of this. Mr.. Randolph
is charged with attempting to kill ne
gro, with knife, in the streets OF Tusca'
loosa. The negro was not materially
injured, and ct the time was trying to
kill a white, when Mr.. Randolph inter-
fered, and was in turn murderously as
saulted, and drew his pocket knife and
used it in self-defense. From the result
in the cases just tried. we may expect
him to be either shot or confined to hard
labor for life. All these things tend to
make the negroes feel great superiority
over the "white trash" and to elevate
them in their own estimation a great deal
more than heretofore, and if few more
such cases come up and receive the same
decisions at the hands ofthe Commission,
we may look for regular war of races.
Our city is still crowded with negroes,
and petty thieving and burglaries are
getting to be common, everyday occur
rences.
Crops are looking well, and the hopes
of farmers are bouyant. MAX.
