The extra session of the Legislature
was necessity, but the press is agreed
in it's condemnation of the General as
sembly for giving rise to it. 1t was ex-
pected that the members would serve
without compensation and that the ex-
pense would not exceed $500. All
such ideas were dispelled on the second
day of the extra session, when a bill to
that effect was promptly tabled in the
House. We may now look for an adj
ditional burden of thirty or forty thous-
and dollars for per diem, &c.

Planting.

The season is later by month than
usual. The cold, though at no time
very severe, has been constant all Win
ter. The recent hard rain necessitated
not little duplicate work. This week
has been exceptionally fine and every
thing that could move has been put to
service. The acreage of corn and cot
ton will not perceptibly change the fig
ures of last year. It is safe to say,
to make corn enough for home con-
sumption. The low price of cotton for
the last few years has diminished some
of the ardor for its cultivation and is
forcing the hog question into promi-
hence. And a success has attended the
experiment beyond any reasonable ex-
pectatiOn. A number of our planters
last year have saved all the meat they
will want and some of them will have
meat to sell. It is good showing and
worthy of imitation.
A crib full of corn, smoke-house
full of meat, and pasture alive with
stock, creates no lien and requires no
mortgage. They make the freeman.
Criminals are punished as a warning
to Others, and a sale now aud then
teaches just as plain lesson. Debt is
an intolerable burden. No matter if
pork touches and stands at $40 per bar
rel, it is the safety-aye, the duty of
the planter-to supply his wants at
home. The moment it becomes uni
versal the index of our wealth will
have advanced thousand fold and
the Southern belt will be recognised as
the most independent and prosperous
section of country in the world.

Discomfort Among the People.

perOr,

LONDON, June THE correspondent of the
Times at Berlin says: The shot left in the arm
of the Emperor include one buck shot, which,
/ on account OF its size, may have to be extracted
while the smaller shot will be allowed to re-
main. 1t is untrue that Modelling has been
operated on.
A Berlin despatch of this incoming says the
Emperor slept well during the greater part of
last night. His right arm is not affected by
pain or heat this morning.
Great reserve is maintained at the police
headquarters in Scotland Yard regarding the
alleged Socialist plot. 1t has evidently been
ascertained that both in London and in Paris
an important event was expected to occur in
Berlin on the day Modelling fred at the EN-
peror.
Private letters from Berlin speak of public
feeling as profoundly disturbed In private
men say that the country is ripe for republic.
years, is prosperous. rich and happy. Ger
many, under the empire, is poor. The alliance
between the Gear and the Emperor is danger
GUS. Germany will find herself dragged into a
war with which she has no concern. She is
kept with her hand upon her sword, and her
people, many of whom find it difficult to get
bread to eat, are compelled to maintain an inn
mense army. The popularity of the Crown
Prince is as nothing compared with that of the
Emperor. Should the latter die Republican
revolution might be attempted.
The Minister of State is considering meas
ures for immediate adoption in the interest of
order and public security.
The following facts and rnmors show the
state OF public feeling in Germany:
The editor and manager of newspaper at
Glouchan have been arrested for the pnblca-
ton of Socialistic writings. A committee has
been formed in Berlin to purchase the house
No Is Unter-den-Linden and convert it into a
place OF religious worship. Numerous manu-
facturers have resolved to discharge all their
workmen attending Socialistic meetings
Between 20 and 25 persons have been arrested
in various towns for expressing regret at the
fslurs OF Modelling to kill the Emperor. AT
Brunswick and Barmen men were arrested
charged with telling beforehand of Nobeling's
attempt.

JACKSONVILLE, June 7.-Wires down last

Allen said:-Knew 1t was my duty to CO.
operate with Coke when a justice was absent.
Knew Driggers had declined to act with Coke,
but thought his being in town was sufficient
presence. Reason 1 did not participate on the
18th was because knew it would eneender
great prejudice among the people there. When
Coke and Dorman made the canvass 1 thought
l was not treating the people right and felt an
interest in the Republican party and took
every advantage could for it. Did not think
they made false canvass. Believed they
would do what was right, but thought it would
be illegal for Coke and justice to canvass
alone. Was asked to do nothing but cooperate
in the canvass of the county.
William Green testified as follows

Driggers said to him before the canvass, eve

could assist in the canvass we could make

DISASTROUS FIRES.
Treat & Lang's Mills in Bath
Burned.
Loss From $4,000 TO 100000.
MILLS AT VEAZIE DESTROYED

BATH, June THE most disastrous fire
which ever occurred in Bath, resulted in the
IS total destruction of the Treat & Lang mill
property last night, with large quantities of
lumber of various kinds in and about the
mills.
Shortly after IL o'clock an alarm was given,
but the cooper shop. where the fire originated,
was already covered with flames which rapidly
ignted the adjoining buildings covering the
entire yard with an almost unbroken sea of
fire. Meanwhile the steamers reached the
scene, and although at one time the private
dwellings on the west side of Water street
seemed in imminent danger, the great heat
even causing many of them to smoke, by the
judcious application of water these were saved.
The attention of the iremen being engaged in
protecting surrounding property mainly, the
burning of everything in the mill yard was
permitted without opportunity for a single
stream of water until every building had fallen,
and not vestge remained.
The blacksmith shop in Houghton Bros,
ship yard at one time was in flames, but a
steamer down there was able to save this as
well as other buildings at thsir wharf
A schooner lying at the mill wharf was tow
ed into the river and rescuedi but scow which
was understood to be loaded with saw dust was
destroyed.
The loss Is estimated at from $15O00O to
100000; partly insured. The Peoples 25 cent
savings bank was mortgage in possession of
the property. and was secured by insurance.
