stead Of calling for q vote on his bill an
nulling the State Government Of Geor-
gia, he announced, to the great surprise
OF his Radical colleagues, that he had
concluded &c let the bill go over TO the
next Congress without further action on
the part OF the Committee. This unex-
uscted turn in events seems to warrant
The belief that the distinguished Chair
man, who, by the by, has some Cabinet
aspirations, had received q revelation
from some quarter which influenced his
action. The interview, IS given above,
between the Georgia Representative and
Gen. Grant may furnish the explanation.
THE " EVERLASTING NIGGsR."
or the "minor points " referred to
above, the principal topic CT converse
ton yesterday and to-day has been the
great speech Of the negro Menard in the
House on Saturday. SO great was its
effect, and so anxious are the negro
worshippers in that enlightened body TO
greet q real "mRn and brother u as
their peer, that at one time it was a hum
bred 20 one he would have been accord
ed q seat, although it was freely admit
ted on all hands that he represented no
constituency whatever-white, black or
mulatto. AS it turned out he was de-
feated but look at the vote, and look at
the resolution passed ~instsnter to give
him $500 of the peoples money
Another minor topic, yet Of transcend
ent importance in certsin circles here
Just now, is the character of the assem-
DIsge to be gathered together on the
night of the 4th of March, at q ball to be
given in honor of Gen. Grants inaugu-
ration. No one desires the city to be
disgraced in this matter. Il seems,
however, that the politicians who run
the negro EoIitical machine have deter
mined not TO exclude their prOteges.
Some of them OBJECT to rely upon the for
beGrdnce of the negroes themselves
That such reliance is baseless and hypo-
critical, the LHteLigeHceT, who is Gu fat
in local matters here, gives undouoted
assurance IS follows
"There is 8 class OF colored people,
such IS the notorious Bradley, VINO has
figured conspicuously in Georgia, who
would take delight in making a = muss "
at a white mans ball. We have reason
to know, and the committee know, that
tickets have 6een procured for the use OF
just this class OF persons The question
cannot be evsded. The gentlemen who
what evasions they please, but ~evssions
will not answer. They may plead that
their characters are sufficient to insure
the responsibility of the ball, but there IS
no assurance that any one of them, or
their uiUes o. daughters, aOW participate
IN it,"

THE CANDIDATE FOR COURTY COM
HWECWnNEn

MISSIONER
While there wss much in the conduct
of the late Convention that did not meet
our approval, much that was irregular,
ii-judged and indiscreet, the fact that all
the proposed candidates Of the Conserv-
alive and Democratic citizens Of Shelby
county submitted their claims to be
passed upon by its members, binds every
man who would not see the county dis
graced by the election of ED. SHAW to
the support of the nominee. It will not
do to inquire too closely into the cOmpo-
sition Of the Convention, and it is too
late to object that the districts and wards
were not regularly represented by dele
gates the known choice of the Conserv-
Atives and Democrats Of their resident
voters. In the Interest Of the white
people of Shelby county, this must
be passed over for the present
and every power that can be brought up
to the work be enlisted to elect Mr..
MoFFATT. We have had occasion to
admire his course as 8 member of the
Board Of Aldermen during the past year.
As q committeeman Of that body, he
has always been equal to the call upon
his time, and has so scceptably fulfilled
the expectancy Of his friends in the
Eighth ward IS, in their opinion, to en-
title him to the sufrages OF the people Of
the county. A conscientious and straight
forward man, honest and prompt, we
hope be will be endorsed by every citizen
who would not see Shelby county dis
grsced by the election Of a negro to the
important Office Of County Commission
er; as between Alderman MOFFATT and
ED. SHAW, the "colored " candidate of
the Radical party, there can be no
choice. Not only the voters, hut the
non-voters, must exert themselves to Sc
cure the triumph Of the candidate of the
Democratic Convention.

THE FIRE In DISMAL SWAMP.
The Soil Burnt to Depth Of Ten Feet.
WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF, FRUIT
TREES.
In regard to the fire in the Dismal
Sxuor,r tho Norfo1Ir nox, nooha,o,v...

In regard to the fire in the Dismal
Swamp, the Norfolk Day Book says:
A gentleman who passed along up
the seabOard road on a hand Car, and
had an opportunity to make a few OBJ
servationsy has been talking to us. He
witnessed great trees, thirty or forty
feet, on fire up to the top, all their
leaves and branches bnrningiup rapid
ly, and then a puff of wind topping
them over the same as if they were
but oat straw when, on looking at the
roots, You would find the ground I'M
derneaths them completely burned ont,
and nothing remaining but Goals and
ashes.
Large holes are to be observed all
over. the swamp, completely burned
out, and nothing remaining in or near
them but the charled trunks OF trees.
He stopped some time between the IL
and Ii mile posts, and had good view
OF the surroundings. The fire had
burnt the earth, CT peat, up TO the
ditch bank of the railroad, and in some
places, as far as the eye could reach,
it looked like great waterless lake,
where formerly was dry land and veg
citation tt s gs
Great numbers of cattle and animals
OF all kinds have been destroyed by
fire, the bones of many of which can
be seen from the road track. These
matters cannot be observed in passing
along on the cars, as they go too ra-
pidly for observation. 1t is his i'm
preston that nearly all the space
burned out by the fire will be a lake
from three to ten feet deep, as the
earth or vegetable mold, which formed
terra firnla in the swamp, is all burnt
to ashes. A singular feature was men
| ton by him in regard to farms along
in the Dismal Swamp. Smoke could
be seen issuing from underneath the
corn fields of the farms, which led him
to believe that their whole foundation
would burn out unless a heavy rain
interferred to prevent it.
This matter of the .charred trees fall
ling owing to the earth being burned
from under them, will account for a
fact that there has always been more
or less theo.izipg about. It has long
been a matter OF surlnise with many
how it was that there were 50 many
trees lying PROSTATE in the swamp
many Of them eight and ten feet be,
low the surface, apparently uninjured
II has been business with lumber get
ters to dig these trees ap heretofore
This fire explains fully how they cam.
in that condition. Long continued
drouths heretofore have enabled til,
yearly recurring fires to burn the sol
from under them and lay them pros
Ia II - n Al. u
lake itself is covered by trees in til,
same way, and it is the theory o
some that the basin of the lake was
caused by being burnt out. If so, j
appears it must, huve been from ,
