A Hog Thief Come to Grief.

FINE hogs have been disappearing 50
mystsriously near Powder Syringe recently,
that some of the farmers, after missing large
porker, concluded they woulc4 ferret out the
guilty party and put stop TO the killing Of
their hogs. Guided by suspicion these farmers
last Saturday went to a Negroes cabin and found
him snoozing away, apparently dreaming of
sheet being let down from heaven in which
We're all manner of beasts, for upon looking UNI
der his bed there was the missing swine. Stayed,
cleaned and ready for use. The old negro
wanted to deny the theft, but evidence was too
strong and he confessed guilt. He is now
looking through the bars of Sheriff Stephens ho-
tel, where lie will remain until Court when he
doubtless will be furnished with certificate OF
Recommendation for situation under Grant &
Alexander, gentlemen who are well known in
this State in giving employment and the lash
to thieves, robbers, murderers. &c, thus form
ing band quite respectable in numbers, but
lacking somewhat in moral tone and refine

AZ the Fair Grounds.

In accordance with previous announcement
a large concourse of citizens of Cobb county as
sembed at the Marietta Fair Grounds to per-
feet more thorough organization, to hold a
general consultation and hear the reports Of
heads of Departments. The ladies were numer-
ous and shown by their encouraging presence
that they are alive 10 a prnper interest In doing
their share Of the work. 1t was happy gath
ering of some of the best and most practical
farmers in the county.
Hon. John H. James, of Atlanta. made a
speech, Of which asbare mention Of the fact
must suffice for the present. as hasty recit-
al of the many questions be touched upon would
be too imperfeectly done to do justice. He
however alluded to labor, capital, emigration,
railroads, oranges and politics, and advocated
the adjustment of the homestead and lien laws
and reviewed some official acts of Governor
Smith which he deemed injurious to the people
of Georgia, MIR. james was followed by Co..
David Butler in pointed but apologize speech
as he and Mr.. james had TO leave On the II
o'clock train for Atlanta.
Afterwards President Burkhalter. called the
Agricultural Society to order. A. Y. Leake
acting as Secretary. The heads of de-
partments made their reports which We're in
many respects encouraging, yet thereis a vast
deal of work to do if the County Of Cobb comes
off with flying banners
General Phillips very wisely and properly
urged upon the farmers of turning their stock
over to the Society, which agrees to ship, feed
and care for them generally, for their use at the
State Fair, free of charge. We trust our farm
ers will do this much while others are working
to benefit the county.
We regretted in having to leave before the
races came of, which took place that evening.

Congress - Louisiana - The Financcs-
Taxadon-The Bankrupt Law.
The contested Louisiana Senatorial election
was brought before the Senate yesterday with
the report from the committee on the subject,
submitted by Mr.. Morton, that as the commit
tee upon the contested election between P. B.
s. Pinchback and General McMillen were
evenly divided he would ask that the commit
tee be relieved from further consideration of
the matter and that it be referred to the Sem
ate. It was so ordered, when Mr.. Morton in
troduced resolution that the credentials of
p B. s. Pinchback are formal, and that he is
entitled to seat in the Senate, having primo
facis case and upon this proposition Mr.
Morton gave notice that after the morning
hour tomorrow Il. e., today he would ask
the attention Of the Senate.
This appeal from the committee to the
Senate in behalf of Mr.. Pinchback, the colored
claimant representing the Kellogg party of
Louisiana, means, no doubt that although
Pinchback has failed to pass judicial ex-
animation, he is none the less entitled to ad-
mission as O Senator from Louisiana on
account of his services TO the party which
holds the power in Louisiana and in the
Senate The credentials of Pinchback are
formal he has a prima fdcie case. and,
according to the Senator from Indiana, this
evidence Of an election ought, upon pinch,
to be sufficient. We presume, however, that
the members of the committee who are sat-
isfed that Pinchback has no claim will, at
least, enforce thorough overhauling of this
very doubtful election before the vote of the
Senate is taken upon his admission. We
have had enough Of mere formalities in the
affairs of Louisiana.
The regular order of the day in the Senate
was Senator Sherman's resolution from the
Finance Committee in regard to the checks
and balances necessary to relieve the country
from its present financial arrangements
Upon this comprehensive theme Mr.. Pratt, of
Indiana, delivered an argument in favor Of an
imitation of the currency as the one thing
needful to meet existing emergencies.
In the House of Representatives numerous
bills and resolutions were introduced, includ-
ing bill reported by Mr.. Tremain for the
repeal of theBankrupt law, which was made
the special order for this day, and which,
from present indications, will be passed before
this days adjournment. A resolution was re-
ported jointly from the Committee of Ways
and Means and the Committee on Appropria-
tons requiring the heads Of the several exec
utive departments so to reduce their estimates
for the ensuing fiscal year as, If possible, to
obviate the necessity Of increased taxation.
The appeal Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
