Miss Georgie Ketchum, one of Mobile’s pretty daughters and Miss Viola Baldridge, than whom Huntsville has no sweeter daughter, are visiting Mrs. Dr. Bryce.-Tuskaloosa Gazette. Thos. G. Hewlett got back from Washington, last Thursday. We understand that his accounts with the U. S. Government have been ordered to be audited, and that Senator Morgan will press his resolution for a committee to investigate U. S. Marshal Sloss’s office here, based on Hewlett’s affidavit, charging Sloss with crookedness. Perry L. Harrison is back from Washington, and we hear that he has not the Marshal’s commission, because the Government officer did not have time to make it our, but he hopes to get it, when the dog days are over or at some other time. DIED: We regret to announce the deaths of two good citizens of Madison county. Fleming B. White and James Johnston. Mr. White died on Monday last aged over 80 years. Mr. Johnston was one of the old mercantile firm of Johnston & Seats, in this city. He received a wound from a thorn in one of his arms, last week, inflamation set in and caused his death. Both were estimable citizens. We deplore their death, and tender our sympathies to their families. LOCAL ITEMS Mr. C. M. Davis, manager on the Beirne plantation near Whitesburg, brought in a cotton bloom on Monday morning, June 26. Mr. W. B. Haynes, living near Whitesburg, brought in a bloom Tuesday. The Alabama Baptist Convention will meet in Huntsville July 12. The local committee of reception are already providing for the hospitable care of delegates in public and private houses. A great many visitors, besides delegates, are expected. Madison Circuit Court is still, in session. Juries were dismissed last Friday. The motion docket was taken up on Saturday, and is, still occupying attention. The Court was thought to be making little progress, because there were so few litigated cases, and so many cases were continued. But Capt. Taylor, the courteous and efficient clerk informs us that about 125 cases have been finally disposed of, and only about 200 cases left on the civil docket, putting the business in good manageable shape for future terms. Mr. J. M. Hutchens, contractor for the City School building on the Greene Academy lot, has his material nearly ready to begin its erection, and expects to complete it by Sept. 1st. Col. M.W. Steele is the architect, who drafted the plan and will superintend its execution. Mr. J. J. Pleasants is the agent, here for the Carver Gin and Machine Co., of Memphis, and is ready to order for planters Milburn’s Anti-Friction Patent Roller 10-inch Saw Cotton Gin, which took the premium over all others at the Atlanta Fair. We learn that Mr. O’Shaughnessy has four of these gins for the gin house annexed to his Cotton Seed Oil Mill.

Note the fact that it is a Stalwart President confirms the sentence of the court-martial cashiering Lieutenant Flipper, the only colored officer in the United States army. South Carolina Congressman Mackey’s wife is the granddaughter of an African woman, and traces of her ancestry are shown in her flatish nose, wavy hair and yellow skin. She is a graduate of Oberlin. It is a matter of surprise that ex-Governor Franklin J. Moses, of South Carolina, instead of allowing himself to be sent to the penitentiary in New York for swindling, is not at Washington contesting the seat of some South Carolina Democrat in the House.
