The REPUBLICAN, PARTY OF GEORGIA d.
vIDED.-A week ago day the Republicans
of Georgia held State convention at Atlanta
The resolutions adopted declared that re-
construction in that State was incomplete,
protesting against the conduct of the Legisla-
ture and calling upon Congress to restore the
colored members to their seats and to provide
for the enforcement of the laws. 1t now an
pears that the convention did not represent
the whole party, and that its action has been
repudlated by a number of influential Repubil-
cans who have formally expressed their dissent.
Mr.. .. +. Bryant, Chairman of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee gentleman well known
IN this State where he formerly resided, has
published letter resigning his position in
which he says:
On the 18th day of August last State con-
vention assembled in this city and nominated
candidates for Electors of President and Vice
President At that convention The Republican
party took the position that Georgia was
constructed. l was nominated as candidate
for iElector, and in canvassing my district,
(the ffth) told the people that the Republic
an party had reconstructed the State; that If
Mr. Seymour should be elected President the
State government would be overthrown; but
if General Grant should be elected, the pres
emit government would stand. AS Chairman
of the State Executive Committee, L received
and expended money and sent men to can
vass the State. This did by direction of the
party. If Georgia was not reconstructed-if
the State was not in the Unon-we had no
right to vote for Electors of President and
Vice President, and the money we expended
was worse than wasted. / am not prepared
now to stultify myself by saying that Georgia
has not been reconstructed.

How OFFICERS ARE TO BE SELEcTEp-The
following statement of the method Grant has
decided to observe in selecting his subordi-
mates will be interesting to the five hundred
thousand ofice-seekers, more or less, who are
now eagerly awaiting his decision on their
cases: .AQ1gu9 seltrttn-. s-t4
A consultation between President Grant
and his Cabinet was had on Wednesday.
Among the matters discussed and agreed upon
were the manner of deciding upon the ap-
| pointments of heads of bureaus, and the gen.
eral method of proceeding in cases of applI-
| cations for Office needing the Presidents NOM
ination. The heads of bureaus will be con-
sidered and determined after discussion up
| on the merits OF the candidates proposed in a
| full cabinet. Applications for Office are to be
| received and arranged by the heads OF de-
partments. Printed blanks are to be prepar-
ed, upon which list of applicants, with the
| position desired, the names of those recon-
| mending them, and other similar matters, are
to be entered. These lists are to be sent to the
| President, on each Monday and Thursday for
his consideration, and the cases will then come
up at the cabinet meetings on the succeeding
days for decision. Z cTNsANs

The last novel scientific idea in Europt

The last novel scientific idea in Europe
is that OF DR.. Poggioli, recently presented
before the British Academy of Nedicine.
He thinks that by the use Of electricity
children may be improved in mind as well
as in body. He instanced q child which
was g phenomenon of deforrity end stu-
pidity, which, under the influence of cleo
tricity, grew three centimeters in @ single
month, and has since been always first, in
stead of last, in his class. Vegetation Is
much richer and more rapid in its growth
when electrified than otherwise. DR.. Pog-
gioli proposes, by way OF experiment, that
the six last pupils of each class in lyceum
or college be subjected to this electrical
treatment. s

Packages continuing i've gallons or less need
not, therefore, be Inspected, gagged, or

FIRE EXCEPTIONS IN RENT NOTES.-THE
Supreme Court of Georgia has decided that
q tenant owes rent upon his house, after 1t
has burned down, for the balance of the
time specified by the contract, the same as
if fire had never occurred, and 1t would
be we'll for them to put fire exception on
the face of their notes. No one in Macon
has ever been 80 misery mean as to take
advantage of this law, but recovery can
be made nevertheless. The grinding OPP
preston can be defeated by inserting a
clause in the note that in case of fire the
rent ceases from that days-Macon 1e!e-

We say there are no Republicans, we mean
no Intelligent ones. Not ten in a hundred

Of government or politics. They must,

THE Son OF THE LATE Mrs. SIGoUREEY
ALlvE-HE WAS CHANGED IN INFANCY
To the Editor of the Neao York Sun Sir
What / now write you may seem to you very
strange, and hardly to be believed, but
nevertheless it is strictly true. 1t is this :
1t is well-known fact that the late Mrs.
Sigourney, of Hartford, Conn.,, had son
who was reported to have been drowned in
the East river, New York, in 1851 be-
lieve that is the year-but late confessions
and documents of dying woman prove the
contrary. The legitimate son of the late
Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney is still living. He
is perfect image of his mother, and he
also possesses his mothers talent, that of
writing poetry and prose. His name is
Andrew.
The person that was drowned, and was
supposed to be her son, was not hers, but
had been exchanged in infancy for her
legitimate child, according to the confession
of lady who lately died. This confession,
with other letters and documents, will soon
be given TO the public through the press,
and they are such that they will startle the
whole community. They are in the posses
sion of clergyman who is well known.
If you wish, you can give these particu-
lars in your paper. Mrs. Sigourney's son
served in the late war, and returned home
q major. He is now in a town in this
State, loved and respected by all who
know him, and it is rumored that he will
receive lucrative appointment under the
administration of General Grant. These
are facts and as he is pretty we'll known
in your city, it may be of interest to many
of your readers. You are at liberty to use
my name if you see fit to make this public.
Truly yours, ALoNzo HAYES,
late of Hartford, Conn.

CONVERSATION BETWEEN GENERAL GRANT

CONVERSATION BETWEEN GENERAL GRANT
AID GENERAL WICKHAM.-There was q lit
lie private dinner ut General Grants
Saturday. Dinner over, the gentlemen re-
tired to the library to smoke and talk. The
conversation soon turned upon military
matters, suggested by question of General
W!ckhum to General Grant as to whether
j. he latter took part in the battle Of Palo
Alto, in Mexico. Grant responded that it
was his loI 20 be there, as in all the other
battles OF the campaign. Wickhum related
biz share il the Pale Alto engagement, and
taca both engaged in comparing notes about
~sott's successful campaign, fighting each
h4ule over again TO the extreme delight Of
the small audience around them. General
Grant retired q few moments from the room,
AMI III the interval General Wickham sug-
cestoi that one OF the party ask Grant, on
be return, something about the famous
campaign in tie WILDERNESS, 30 that both
military men might cu.vr on familiar
ground again. General Mickham having
commanded IN important division III Lees
army, and being thoroughly acquainted
with the POINTS against which Grant hurled
17 .eClUus, the conversation assumed q
mountaineering character, especially as
General Grant entered with IaOre than his
accustomed yigor Of scriprion into the
details Of his great movement against
Richmond. The dialogue to those around
could Lot have possibly been directed into
more absorbing channel, and it is need
.sss 70 say it was listened to throughout
vita the liyeiitst attention. When the
story reached Appomattox Courthouse both
Generals shook hands, and expressed cor
dial hope that time would soon arrive
when the soldiers Of either army would
mcet in the same spirit Of harmonious and
l-aleraul feeling. - Nclr Ior& Herald
