Fairfiold will ocho back the paeans of victory. THE PEOPLE Of Virginia are going to vote en. masse for Holliday ; thus dispelling the ancient belief that 'Ole Virginny nobber tires." The extra term in Richland was hold merely in order that the grand jury might pass upon the indictments preferrod against the Radical thieves. Requisitions will be mado for those absent from the State, and they will 1 e tried at the next terni. TiHE PilLnDFru1A 7Ties thinks, "What is really needed in this contry is a political platform that will guarantee the farmer a tre mendous price for his flour, and also assure the workingman that he shall have his bread for almost nothing. Such a platform would rake in all the olements and sweep the country like wildfiro." IN VIEW of the possibility of the Popo's death occurring at any moment it has been arrangod that the Cardinals may elect a new pope either within twenty -four hours or some longer period. The fear is that if any considerablo notice be given the crowned heads of Europe may have timo to collect the Cardinals in their respoective dominions and by sending them to the college, to control the election. ROSC(JE CONKI.INo, who has little use for Hayes, now admits that Tildon was elected. A report was prevalent at the time of the elec torial commission that Conkling at first threatened to vote in the Senato against admtting the vote of Louisiana, but that through persistent bulldozing he was in duced to simply refrain from voting at all. CAss CARPENTER has come to grief again. Ho had two claims, one for $1,720, and one for $1,784, each paid twice, besides which he stole a thousand dollars each in twenty claims by prolixing the figure 1 before the hundreds as the bills were first approved. True bills have been found against him. Hogo, Scott, Patterson and Owens have had several additional true bills found against them. The wvork goes bravely on. Our Georgia Cousins. The Georgia Convention has adopted a State Constitution which la pronounced by its admirers a masterpiece of kind. Salaries are reduced to the lowest limit. Legis lative sessions are viennial, and no speeial legislation is permitted. The homestead is reduced to six teen hundred dollars, with the right of waiver of thirteen hundred. The further division of counties is prohibited. Stringent regulations are prescribed for increasing the State debt. The habeas eorpus act shall in no case be suspended. The homestead provision and the ques tion of the Sltate capital will be submitted to a separate vote by the people. iledgeville and Atlanta .are rival aspirants. As Milledge ville was ihe old capital, and as it contains a handsome State--house and capacious public buildings, while -Atlanta las no,ne and as Milledgeville is. more .- ceut'rally Jocated, the argument appears to be in favor of a change, although the bare mention of it. The adoption of the ordinanco sub mnitting thd question to the poOple was a victory for Milledgeville. It is said to have boee dtu) largely to the energy anil activity displyod by Senator Furman, of AMilledgovillo, who was also a member of the convention. Senator Furman is a graduate of the South Carolina University, and there he displayed the same ability that has since dis tinguished him. Whenever the Senator fairly sots himsolf to work, things aro bound to move. NEWS OF THE DAY. The Turks seem to be thrashing the Rwsians. But nobody can toll how long they will keep it up.

Died recently in London a plucky and witty French lady, who, a few days after the revolution of 1848, ventured to drive out in a carriage with armorial bearings. She was hooted and mobbed, aoid one patriot, taking a handful of filth from the gutter, smeared it over the panels, crying : "That for your arms." "Ab, you have substituted yours," said the lady. We still hear occasionally of the tender, passionato, worshiping lover, who lies in ambush for the idol of his heart's affections, and cut.a her bead off with a hatchet because sihe will not marry him. It is getting to be safer for a girl to shoot a man when he proposes, thtan to reject him. And that possibility makes it very unpleasant for the man when he asks."-)Hawkey,e Mr. LabouchrE who owns three theatres and the London Tr'uth, says: "In America young ladies arc accustomed to sit all day in darken ed rooms, in order to bleach then selves." Foe Tine NEws AND llERALD. The Bird. Pretty bird, you little mnite, Do you but move one ard in flight, Simgimg your sweet merry lay, All through the long warm summer day ? Resting now antd then on a braneh, Or from it startled finickly launch Far up in the bright aerial sky, Or down again in the fields of rye, Singing your very sweetest to m1e, From among the limbs of the old oak tree, Oheoring my sad and lonely mind. Oh 1 little bird, you ate so kind. What (10 you do when rain pours down, And lightnmng and thunder aro all around ? Do you go) to your nest, to your little one, .T'il fromj behind the clond you see the sun?
