SANDERsvILLE, GA, May S-Editor Morn

be duly inaugurated here by the ne.
gro Republicans Of the county, on Saturday
next, the 18th inst: delegation waited upon
the Ordinary last Saturday, and upon REQUEST
was granted permission to use the court house
on that day. We presume that the meeting
is the legitimate offspring of the JEFF Long
convention recently held at Macon, and as a
delegate from this county asserted In that
body, that ''this year his county would elect
all colored men" perhaps the meeting intends
taking initiatory steps in that direction, and
will provide measures by which the gentleman
may be borne out in his rash assertion.
The enterprising gentlemen who have
the educational interests of the county
not only in hand, but at heart have

be held between the colored schools on the 18th

ALMOST A HORROR.
Miraculous Escape OF ExcursIOnists
In Kansas.

PARSONS, May 12-While the engineer
and conductor of a train on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad were in the tele-
graph Office at Oswego, Kansas, for orders
their engine and caboose started off without
them, bound north. A train bearing several
hundred persons, members of the Missouri
Press Association, their families and
friends, off on an excursion to
Galveston, was on the road. The engineer
of the latter train saw the wild train in time
to stop his own and leap from his engine.
The wild train was going at rate of over
forty miles an hour when it collided with
the other. Both engines wsre totally
wrecked. A postal clerk on the passenger
train is the only person injured, but not
seriously. The passengers all escaped un-
harmed, and after the track was cleared and
a new engine was procured they proceeded
on their journey.

FLASHES FROM ATLANTA.
The SmsIl-POx-SenatO HIPS Con-
diTiOn-COI. Ball Improved.

ATLANTA, GA, May IL The excitement
existing when my last letter was written has
subsided, and the fears then entertained of
the spread of small pox were not realized.
Mayor English positively assures me that all
the cases have been reported, and that the
danger feared is not now impending.
DR.. Baird, City Health Officer, is also
positive that no epidemic can occur. Four
teen physicians are vaccinatlng for the
Health Board nearly three thousand persons
daily. Several cases, including the one
next door to Colonel Msddox's, are now
reported not to be smallpox. Eighteen
sanitary inspectors are on duty searching
out and Investigating all suspected cases.
Two negroes were picked up on the streets
Yesterday with the disease and sent to the
pest house. No other cases are reported.
There is no danger in strangers coming here,
nor any necessity for other cities to euaran-
tine against Atlanta. The attendants and
spectators at the Superior Court and the
Recorders Court have to submit to vaccina-
ton. The weather is cold and cloudy to-
night.
The Atlanta Land League last night pass

very favorable. He has improved some
what, but not enough to inspire hope Of
recovery. Senator Brown will be in his
seat on Monday, unless delayed in reaching
Washington.
Colonel J. NJ. Ball, who was stricken with
paralysis yesterday, is much better to-day,
and hopes Of his recovery are entertained.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE
The Proceedings at Nashville Yes
terdaYs

NASHVILLE, May 12.-The principal part
of the day was spent in the Methodist Con-
ference in the consideration of reports from
committees. The question of electing six
additional Bishops was discussed, but no
action was taken. The Committee on Tenn
perance submitted a report, which was
adopted, touching the uses Of tobacco.

grows out of the intemperaCe use oftobacco,
yet we would recommend no special legis-
lation on the subject"
paper was referred asking that this Gen
eral Conference take such action as will pre-
vent the use of fermented wines in the
sacrament OF the Lords supper. The re-
port, which was non -concuTred in, at the

where to be careful to procure the purest
wines for this holy sacrament.

THE RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS.
Nothing Like it Ever known IA she
History OF the Country.

The influx Of immigrants from Europe
into this country since the opening of the
year has been enormous, five and six thou :
sand frequently arriving at New York In q
single day. A New York letter Of Wednes-
day says:
At the Castle Garden Labor Bureau the
demands for "help' from all parts Of tho
country continues and from almost all In
dustries. The superintendent said to your
correspondent: eff the emigrants were flftv
thousand day all the year round, think
we could provide them with employment of
one kind or another. There Is literally ma
end of the wants of the Western farmer for
hands"
There were a good many Germans among
the arrivals to-day, including a numerous
party of wheelwrights from the wagon ana
carriage manufactures OF Offenbach. They
all tell pretty much the same tale as to dull
trade in the old country. Previous to the
war with France wheelwrights could easily
make twenty dollars per week; now they
are doing well If they can earn eight dollars
Besides this, within the past eighteen
months the cnst of the necessaries OF life
has advanced 33 per cent, and house rent
is also increasing. "The only thing that
gets cheaper and cheaper is labor"
said one; >and another, 81 believe that
one-half of the German people would leave
the country to-day If they had the means."
On the Braunschweigh was party of Ger
mans, who came from Sllesia, Saxony, the
great hosiery and underwear manufacturing
centre. These people had been working all
their lives in the mills, and leave only on &C.
count of the poor price paid for their labor.
One of this party, speaking of the trade out
look In the Fatherland. said: eyes, times are
changing rapidly-the outlook so far as me-
chanics and working people are con-
cerned, grows darker month by
month. Business in Germany is not
anything like as good as It was ten
years ago, and It is percep IDLY decreasing
every year. The capitalists and large bust
ness men in the Emperor's kingdom do not
profess to have made their wealth at home.
II man in Germany be well off, It Is known
that he accumulated his money abroad.
Throughout the whole of that country there
are six out of every ten working men will
ing to emigrate to America, the news they
are constantly receiving from their Ameri-
can friends convincing them that their pros
poets of advancement and good wages are
far superior In the United States to what
they are in any part Of Europe"
A number of English families, who had
been employed at cotton weaving in Man
chester, were likewise among the crowd Of
new corners, as likewise some Dutch
farmers and laborers The Rotterdam brings
a number of shoemakers, all of whom have
through tickets to Pennsylvania. The labor
bureau continues to provide employment
for all who want It, and in proof of their
success In this respect, 1t may be stated
that though nearly three thousand Ger
mans have landed this week, not one re-
mains In the Garden. For all sorts Of female
labor the demand from distant States con-
tinues very active at good wages.
