A Dramatic Scene with FOote.

\ picturesque experience of the
late Henry =. Foote's in the Con
federate congress is recalled by the
Boston Transcript. A member
from Alabama was speaking, when
Foote approached and denounced
him as rascal. The Albanian,
with bowie knife in hand, lunged
at Foote, and might have killed
him had not several persons rushed
to the rescue. 1t was then that
Foote raised himself to his utmost
height, and striking a melodramatic
attitude, exclaimed in stentorian
tones: Il defy the steel of the as

The feeling in Georgia is very
bitter against Gov. Colquitt for
appointing eN-Gov. Joseph Z.
Brown United States senator to
succeed Gen. Gordon. 1t is openly
charged that Gordon's resignation
was the result of bargain between
himself, COlquItt and Brown, but
this is vehemently denied by the
friends OF the three gentlemen, who
assert that Browns determination
not to resign the presidency of the
Western and Atlantic railroad eff
tectuslly disposes OF the accusation.
Il is quite certain that Gordon's
action will seriously impair his
popularity, and that the appoint.
mens OF Brown will prevent Gov.
Colquitt's re election. Gea. Cor
don's retirement is greatly to be
deplored for he is exceedingly pop
ular in Washington with all classes
of people, and had more influence
In the senate, perhaps, than any
other member from the south.

Old Slaves Just Getting Mar
ried.

Lumpkin (Ga) Independent.
Considerable excitement was Gre
ated among the colored people last
week, occasioaed by the report that
the grand jury would indict all ne
groes who we're living together as
man and wife who had never
been married under a license from
the ordinary. The excitement ran
high and negroes who had been liv-
ing together thirty years, and had
grown families. obtained license
and were duly joined according to
law. During the days of slavery it
was not customary tor slaves to be
married by license and consequent
ly a number of colored people are
now living together who were never
legally married. There was danger
for some parties, but not the old
couples who were married before
the war

Giles County,.
Columbia Journal.

Columbia Journal.
1t is not often that the people of
Maury permit their fair sister
Giles to Guido tn I'm in any public
demonstrations. The honorable
rivalry existing between these two
sister counties should never be the
cause OF any unpleasant feeling be-
tween their people. 1t is. there
fore, with the utmost pleasure that
we noticed the splendid and honor
able part which Giles took in the
ceremonies at the Nashville Centen-
NAL. Everything went off in first
class style, and the address by Col.
Scion +. Rose was beautiful and
appropriate in. the extreme. The
speech was full of eloquence, poe
try and thought. and our neigh
bors of Giles, we no doubt, feel
much pride in their success, and
especially in their orator, Col.

The Bishops Prayer.

Cor. Columbia Herald.
We regard Bishop Doggett as a
man of elevated piety and profound
erudition; and would revere the
name as we are doubtless related to
him by consaLguinity. But what
ever public man says or performs
in public capacity is public prop
erty.
l would, therefore, with the most
affectiouate regard for the man, and
the most exalted opinion of his
Il inisterial ability, modestly refer
to one petition in his prayer.
He invoked the Divine One to
bapLize his audience with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire" The latter
clause, we deem rather severe, and
prayer of doubtful propriety.
We presume the prayer was predi-
Gated upon the memorable passage
in Matthew 3:lI, where John. the
fore runner of Christ. declared that
He Christi 'shall bsptise with the
Holy Ghost and with fire."
Now this scripture has been very
al iOuSlb NOHoI' uGus III VIC CNuBOI
conceive of any construction upon
it that would justify such a prayer,
viewing it in its connection and
context.
The address was evidently made
to a prOmIscnOus cruwd-deciaring
that the righteous should be bap-
tised with the Holy Spirit, and the
unrighteous with fire. The former
was manifestly verified on the day
of Pentecost, and the latter will
be terribly realized "when he
shall rain fire and birthstone and
an horrible tempest upon the wick
ed" The Jewish populace was
the subject Of address on the occa
sion, and it Is declared hat she
will thoroughly purge his floor 1.-THE
Jewish people, and gather his
wheat the righteous ones into the
garner; but he will burn up the
chatf (the wicked ones) with I'm
quenchable fire."
This is not offered as a criticism
upon the prayer of a great and
good man, but let US reflect and
think comprehensively upon this
matter. A MINISTER.

A Minister Gained

A correspondent of the Columbis
Herald, writing of the recent Dis
trict Conference at Bigbyville, says
The most attractive feature of the
proceedings was the presentation
of neat black Gaze to Rev. Mr..
Haggard, OF the Lynnville circuit,
by Rev. j. A. Orman, who was the
recipient of it at the hands of tie
good and lamented Fountain f.
Pitts. Bro. 0rman gave it with in
structions for it to be kept in this
conference and handed down by
succession to the Oldest, but the an
probation of it lies in the condi-
tions upon which it was given and
the associations connected there
with-to perpetuate the memory of
one of the noblest and best of
Gods servants. Rev. Mr.. Hag
gard felt himself unequal to the
emergency just at that time, and re-
quested Rev. I. J. Duncan TO be
spokesman for him, who delivered
a beautiful tribute to the charac
ter and worth Of the original own
er OF the cane, the departed Foun-
tain Z. Pitts. We wish it could be
printed; but printed words cannot
convey to the mind the bnrning
eloquence with which they were
spoken.

Toledo CO., special to the Gin

one of the delegates at-large to the
Cincinnati convention, who has
been on a visit to New York, re-
turned home on Saturday night
last, and to-day was interviewed by
your correspondent with a view to
ascertaining the appearance of
things political in the East. He
was asked, as an opening question,
if he had seen Mr.. Tilden while in
New York, and having answered in
the affirmative, the question was
followed by one relating to the
state of Tilden's health. In answer
TO the latter question, Gen. Steed-
man said: II found Mr.. Tilden
looking very feeble, indeed and
added: 81 do not think he will come
before the Cincinnati convention as
a candidate. l have positive assur-
ance from his friends that letter
expressing his wish to withdraw
his name as a candidate will be pre-
scented in the convention"

The bill making appropriations
for the payment of certain claims
reported favorably to congress by
the accounting officers of the treas
ury, was amended last week in the
house so as to require agents APP
pointed by the Quartermaster Gen
eral to notify claimants when testi-
mony is to be taken and to conduct
the cross examination of Witnesses
according TO the law and rules gov
erning the courts of the country.
This amendment will remedy the
present unfair practice, observed by
the agents of the department, of
hearing testimony unfavOrable to
claimants without allowing them to
be present.

According to the New York Bull
letIn's correspondents the acreage
and the present condition of the
plant indicate a crop Of wheat quite
equal to that of 1879. The chief
exceptions to this rule are Iowa and
Kansas, both large contributors to
our wheat crop; but, 50 far as can
be judged from present indications,
the deficiencies in those states are
likely to be compensated tor by the
abundance in Illinois, Ohio, Min
nesota and Pennsy lvania.
