Resignation of the Attorney-General. The 'Governor accepted the resignation of Attorney-General Melton, on Mondav. to go into effect on the 1st of May. The Gov. will have to appoint his j successor. The democratic State of Georgia has not an elephant on its hands in the person of Foster Blodgott, who was charged with numerous offences when that State was controlled by Bullock and his party. The authorities have arrested him but do not want to push the charges because forsooth he can tell some damaging talcs about certain persons standing high in democratic circles. Trnlv human nature is about the same iu all political parties. Investigate brothers! investigate with mire. Got. Chamberlain paid the following tribute to the republicanism of Beaufort county, in his recent speech at the State Convention: %4 If I had been charged by my good friend from Beaufort, who nominated mi, with want of fidelidy to the republican party, I oouM have lowed with humility to the hand ot chastisement, because the record of those men shows that, no mat' tor what difference of opinion there may ho, they have still fought within the lines of the republican party and under the banner of equal rights to all won.?fAjv plaose.l The Sund/ty Sun is the name of an independent weekly newspaper, published jo Columbia, the first number of which -appeared on the 9th inst. Th >se connect ed with this paper must be men of extra-1 ordinary fttauiina, if thoy are to cany out all the work they set before theui, in this their first number. It promises to show ihow the State treasury has been" robbed of ten million dollars iu the past six years; they are going to make some startling revelations in reference to the South Carolina Trust Co.; they are fitting out a . crusade against the Republican Printing Co., "do man who has held a dollar rob'bcd from this State shall be Spared" by lh'\*'Snn; they will give information to criminate Kiuiptou, or close their doors; they promise to investigate some Congressman from this State whose house is not sufficiently swept and garnished, in fact look out fora millennium or the day of judgement. The Sun is evidently a very promising journal. The Anderson Republican Convention, presided over by Senator Coekran, has adopted a set of Utopian resolutions to govern the action of the party in the approaching campaign. They rcccin mended that no nominations be made bv I # *' I their party for legislative or county officers " unless the Democratic party shall j by party machinery and a free applica- j tion of the party lash, place before the j people men who in our opinion are 6b- J jcctionable to a majority of the conserva- i tire voters of Anderson county, in which event we pledge ourselves to vote fo: men firm, just, experienced, and com- i petent, though they be Democrats iu the fullest sense of the word. " Such a policy is suicidal especta-'y on j the approach of a political struggle with an opposition more thoroughly organized , than ever before since the birth of the \ Republican parly. We pity ih^ Republicans of Anderson, if they cam ot find within their own rankmen firm, just, experienced, andcompc- , tent, that they can put forward?principles and not men?are the nucleus of par ties. The General government has spent ov- < or one hundred millions'*} dollars more in the northern States than it has in the?? southern States tor internal improve-!! inents.

The Lincoln Statue. The ceremonies of unveiling the statue of Abraham Lincolu at Lincoln Park, j Washington, took place on Friday last. An immense procession paraded the principal streets of the city to Lincoln square. After thearrivalof the procession Prof. Langs ton took the st nd with those who woro ti\ fiVn nnrt in the exorcises. and ! the invited guests among theiu the Pies ident, several members of the Cabinet, and a large number of senators and representatives, members of the diplomatic corps, and several clergymen, aul the exercises proceeded in the following order: (fail Colombia, by the United States marine band, Prof. Schneider; prayer b.\ Hev. Dr. J. M. Brown, bishop of the A. iM. k Church. Hon. J. Henri Burch, of Louisiana, was introduced, and after a few remarks read the proclamation <f emancipation of April Id, 1862, freeing the slaves iu the Distriot of CVuiubia. Mr. Jas, Ii. Yeatmari. of St. Louis. president of the Western Sanitary commission, read & sketch of the works and events com mcmoratcd. Music by the marine band ?the Marseillaise hymn followed. Prof. Langston, after a short presentation speech, drew the cords and the flags dropped from the statue auiid the cheers of the assemblage, the band playin* "Hail to the Chief' Then followed a poem and au oration by Frederick Douglass. The monument, on a granite pedestal ten feet in height, is of bronze, and col ossal in size, the statue of Lincoln being twelve feet in height. The President i> represented asstanJing beside a monolith, on which is the face of Washington in ha relief, and he holds in his left hand the proclamation, while his right hand L stretched over the figure of a slave, to whom his eyes are directed. The slave i.almost prostrate, but apparently just about to rise, the chain which connected the shackles on his limbs having been sundered, and his face is I'ghted up with an expression which indicates wonder and joy. The physical development of the slave, his museles clearly defined, give evidence of hard labor. 0;i the base of the monument is the word "Etnaneipa tmn " The statue was designed and ex- ! eeuted by Thomas Ball, an American sculptor, residing at Florence,. Italy. Tht original cost of the monument was $17, 000, and this sum with expense of transportation, <fcc., has been paid by the colored people, the first money for the object being $5, contributed by Charlotte Scott, a colored washerwoman, of Mariet11, Ohio, on the morning followiug the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, (April 14, 1805,) and this contribution was followed by other subscriptions.

After passing a vote of i thanks to President Grant, convention < adjourned. i i , Adjournment of the Legislature , The Legislature that re assembled otv ' the 10th and adjourned 011 the 14th ac ' complished very little in the four days 1 extra session. An attempt to re-uscitate ' the investigation of Judge Maekey failed., A resolution was passed in the Senate ' requesting the Governor and the Coiup. Gen. to extend the time for the enforcement nf penalties on deliiifiuent taxpav- 1 en?, but before the hou?e could take action on it, the?Senate agreed to the ' house resolution to adjourn on the 14th. < The governor signed the act to extend the tiuic for redemption of forfeited land.- ; to Nov. 1st 1876 and putting off the sal ! of forfeited lands to the 30th of Xoveni ; her, and this act allows all back taxes to ' October 1S75 to be paid in bills of the ' Bank of the State and also redemption of ^ land in simlar bills. < On the fourteenth the Scoiate after a ' session of about twenty five minutes ' agreed to the resolution of the house to ! adjourn that day, and immediately passed a resolution to adjourn, thus leaving the ( house with no option but to follow suit. ' leaving several important bills unratified. ' Thuj euded the seventy-eighth days ses- 1 sion of the legislature of 1875-76. ?o? t THE CENTENNIAL. j We are having oar census taken, or rather it has been taken, and we are uow waiting to know how many there are of 1 us. It was deemed desirable that th1 1 exact population of the city should be * known in order that we may be qualified | 1 to answer questions on the subject during i * the coming summer, without being com ! ^ pelled to draw on our imagination for our 1 facts to any great extent, and so a census c was resolved upon. The method of tak- ' i m it is somewhat novel in this country, ' though much employed in Europe. * Each policeman was supplied with r blanks, which he wa3 to leave at every s house on his beat, and request the head L of the family or household to#state the c number of persous residing in the house, ( how divided as regards sex, and number * over and under twenty-one years of age The distribution took place on the 1st of a April, and on|the 3rd the blanks were col ^ leoted and are now being arranged aid ^ computed. The total result will probably * be known in ab. ut ten days, but the extent r of the labor may be estimated when it is s considered that there are about 141.000 c houses in this city.. According to the 0 census of lbTO we had a population of c 674,022, and it is estimated that the in- * crease since that time will bring the figures up to between SOD,000 and 900.00). f A number of amusing incidents marked ^ the distribution of the blanks among the ^ more ignorant classes. A gcrman, mind-1 c ful of the day of the month, refused to ; p receive the blank, declaring that he was : ^ not an April fool. r" Drafts, assess- I il ments, militia tax, water rents and va- j " rious theories were indulged in by the ig- i a norant or incredulous. Two female cen-1 * tennarians were found, and one man. ^ who had evidently been under the influ- J ence of Moody and Sankcy, filled up the j blank with pious expressions of; P thanksgiving. j tl Secretary Bristow's order, cutting off n expenditures for light, heat, and water I a in all government buildings, created con- ; n siderabie excitement and alarm among 1 g business men, when it first appeared. t: The postmaster paid the cost of the first I p night out of his own pocket, however, ' b and then a number of leading importers, 1 C a:id others ?o whom the prompt distribu- d< ! \nr d:.-patch of rna?is of the Treat-! e< Cvt importance came forward and offered is L-- pay the 53.K-.OD which it costs to light , <>] I nil heat the pa - fluv 1 r one week, j iro\iding tin t it be kept open during the eg.dar hours.

The lontrnet lias also been awaided for the innex 180 by 2iX) feet, to be used for the penological display, and located at the lorth-east corner o? the main structure. lhe object is to afford plenty of exhibiting room for the fruit, berries and vegetables of the summer and fall, and it is >tiiuutod that ten thousand dishes of it must be displayed in order to make a proper display of fruit. Among the numerous commemorative statues, fountains etc, which are to grace :he Centennial grouuds is the colossal monument forty-eight feet in heigth, by M. BarthoMi the eminent French Sculptor commemorative of the friendship ffhich has ever existed between France ir.d America, and which at the Vlose of lie exhibition, is to be erected on an Island in New York harbor. It will be located near Machinery Hall, on the borler of the Centennial lake.- The light vhich will gleam from the torch and jrown of the figure will be furnished from in electrical insrumentin Machinery Hall, rhe pedestal will be of sufficient height n allow the brilliant illumination to ex tend all over the Centennial ground-1. The arrangements for entrance and *xit to the Exhibition are almost completed. and very thorough they are. There drill bo thirteen places of entrance and jxit, selected with reference to their proximity to the main roads and to the poin s where the railroads, horse cars and steamboats will set down their passengers. The *n trances will nearly ail have fourg:.t;3? me for visitors proper, another for bearers of complimentary tickets, a third for exhibitors, members of the press and em ployecs, and a fourth for wagons. According to the estimated ti a he at these points, there will be at each place of en trance a number of gates or turnstiles. Of these, there will be 106; the exits 42 in number will be near them, and there wil be in all, including those for wagons, 150 zates. The turnstiles will have the usual foui inns, and will l e in twos at the end of passageways ten feet long, jd.ia rated by another passageway. Means will lie tak n to prevent a direct pressure upon the :ne of visitors in the e passageways. Pitch turnstile will be under the coutro' ) 'a. keeper who will receive the admission fee? a fffty cent note?before the visitor passes the stile, which will, by a uechanica! contrivance be ope- e 1 by the ceepers foot As the stile turns for each entrance it rcgi.stc.rs it self at the gate and >y electrical communication at the tnana rcrs' office. The money when received s deposited in a box placed under the jounter, and which by an ingenious conrivancc locks itself when pulled from its position, and I can only be unlocked by he bank officers.

They will re. icmble small roofed sheds, with two gates >pening inward or backward from a post >n the fence line. These gates are a sort >f compound turnstile with ratchet atachmcnt and are so constructed as to ject the departing sight seer somewhat; dter the Spanish fashion. It is well to >e sure you are right before you go ahead or when once you have entered the oils it is best to abandon all hope of eturning. Your only choice is to remain tationary, or go on and fish out a fifty cut puce for another admission. The ntrance wiil be ornamented with Auierinn trophies, flag?, shields etc. A flag taff will rise at each side and the wori's 4 International Exhibition7' will be over he door. On pannels over tlic gates will ie indicated for whose use they are intenled It has been determined that no har go will he maclc at the gates, and a fly cent uotc alone will be received, 'his is done for convenianoe in counincr and prevents delay etc. The Centenial Bank will however, make change nd prevent all inconvenianee on that core. A special allowance of $260,000 in fty cent notes has been made to it by he Treasury Department for the purpose. The question of issuing passes and comlimentary tickets i> under discussion in he papers. Sonic take the ground that o passes whatever should be issued; that 11 should faro alike and the price of adlissinn lowered. Others take the same round except with regard to the reduc- ! on. It seems to be settled however, that ' asses, not exceeding two in number will e issued to the leading papers, and the \ ennui ssioner? take it upon themselves to j ecide as to what papers shall be so favor1. These parses, however, will only be f sued to authorized correspondents, even .r the leading papers, and can only be j used by the persons to whom they are issued. _ B A- | Town Council Meeting.
