In oor last article, we alln«led to the
unheal thi new* of MilledBeville aa appli
cable to individuals. We omitted a
w>int io which thin consideration deep
ly iffdCti the public. Governor Jen
kins, in the late convention, pointed
out the directness and thoroughneM
with which the public weal ia affected
by oor couitsA He preened upon oor
attention, with fearful logic, the abso
lute neoeasity of keeping at least the
bench of our highest court filled with
the brightest talent, matoreet wiedom
and purest virtue. It ia feared by some
that oor reduction of salaries would
militate against those high considera
tions, but the reply was that the dis
tinguished honor would attract preper
men to that bench and keep them
tbera. We hope it ever will. Out
nhould we place before them another
reason to shun that office? Rv.nem
her that the longest term of that
court in Milledgeville in summer was
not over a month and that not later
than June. The court for August was
in this county. Even when the court
was localed at Milledgeville only it
never sat there later than June in sum
mer. Now the court begins in January
and ends early in June and begins
again in July and ends in November;
or if it adjourns till August it ends in
December. Think of being in Milledge
ville so long, seeing nothing, hearing
nothing which could relieve the over
taxed brain; think of the danger to
one unacclimated of remaining there
in July, August and September, and
say if the prospect may not keep from
that bench men whose services the
state needs. Think of the contras* be
tween the decisions to be there made
by a court fatigued with the unpleas
antness of their |Kwition, after argu
ment by lawyers iinwftliugly there and
anxious to get away, or without argu
ment because the lawyers will refuse
to ;•«» there, and decisions made here,
with active and cheerful minds, after
argument by lawyers delighted to come
and ready to aid iu the search for
truth. (We claim not too much for
our climate in thin. Witness the con
vention of two hundred memlten*, ait
ting here in July and August, crowded
with visitors and keeping on with its
work ; sitting in session or in commit
tees from nine o*clnck in the morning
till night with little intermission)
Verily there is much in this
lor serious thought. An indifferent
or inferior conrt of last resort
works incalculable injury to the com
monwealth. It works so slowly as to
be almofct Imperceptible, but it works
surely, inevitably. It turns what
should be a bleesing into a curse.
But we digreaa from our plan to notice
the folio wingf from one of Milledgeville’s
near ht .uid moat intelligent defenders*

Here is an admission that we have
presented (acta, undeniable facta, a
column of facta, straight, symmetrical,
solid. The proposed way to dispose of
this column is to assert that ita pedes
tal is extravagance, namely, "bureaux
and the greatly increased business of
the state” and tha* these ace a "burden
the people are trying to throw off. 1
What are these bureaux ? The geo
logical and agricultural. We do not
mention the State Board of health, be
canae no appropriations are now made
for it. Are they too an heritage left Dy
the wasteful Bullock regime?
We will see. The nature of man and
his surroundings always made agricul
ture a prime necessity. The
great problem of the past
centuries has been how
direct it so as to produce the greatest
good for the greatest number. It is not
a degraded avocation needing only the
mufcle of the animal but one calling
for the strength and cultivation of mind
to show ita proper results. Aud the
world has lorg understood this.
School* especially designed to teach
the application of science to agricul
ture were founded in Russia, Switzer-
and and Austria in 1799. The royal
agriculture* school of Hungary at Alten
burg had nine professor*. The royal
agricultural society of Eugland was es-
tablisued in 1839 Later came the
Highland agricultural society of Scot-
lsnd and the royal -ociety of Ireland
France has her minister of agriculture
and sup aorta agricultural schools.
Thaer, Schweiz, Roller, Stockbardt and
Liebig tsught Germtny agricultural
chemistry and educated her up to hav
ing, in 1873, one hundred and forty
school* of agriculture and horticulture
In 1863 Russia estab ished Petrobkoi
agricultural college near Warsaw with
ita eighteen professors.
Being a new people the U nited States
did not begin to thoroughly understand
|hia grand subject till about 1850.
A i»art cular survey of the progress
of agriculture elsewhere would con.
now too much of our apace and of the
leader’* patience. We review it
Gecrgi* only.
In 1846ibe agricultural society met
at Stone M>unuua,th» Georgia railroad
being juat then finished; a fair was held
there in 1847, 1845 aad 1849; at Atlanta
in 1850,and in 1851 at Mac jo. In 1854
the southern central agricultural eoc:ety
was ch rtered.
In 1856 Gov. Johnson th ought prop*
to pul into his message the following
important recommendation on this sub
“The promotion of agriculture and
the development of our mineral re
sources should engage the earnest at-
U ntion of the legislature. Ia the older
region of the state much of the land
had been exhausted by tillage, acd
p’. re are turni-g their attention to
the reclamation ct swamps by ditching
and embankmei.t-’* Here he mad<
certain recommendations as to la*
allowing the overflow of swamp lamb
and proceeded as follows: “As a farther
mean* of encouraging agriculture and
th-* development of the mineral wealth
of the state, I recommend that pro
vision be miule by the legislature for
the appointment, with a suitable sal
ary, of state geologist, mineralogist and
agricultural chemist. His office should
be located at the capital and his general
duty should be to make a geological
survey of the state, direct the mode of
testing for ores, analyse toils and point
out the various kinds of manures for
their fertilization. To make the organ
isation of such a department efficient
and useful, it would require the state
to be divided into geological districts
and the employment of assistants.
Ita derails, however, will readily sug
gest themse.ves to the legislature* and
the policy once adopted in a oc*d earn
eat, time and experience will soon per
fect it. A qjmilar appointment in
other state* has been attended with
the most beneficial results. It is more
easy to advance than to select illustra
tions of its advantages. In Georgia
but little attention has been devoted to
agricultural education; and, without
disparagement to our planters, it must
be confessed that their success is main
ly the result of fertility of soil and
unconquerable energy and industry.
They owe but little to the application
of scientific principles to the multi
plied details of the plantation. But as
the lands become exhausted by such
a system of cultivation, they will refuse
their wonted yield, until scieme shall
come to their rescue by showing the
means of their resuscitation.
The office under consideration will,
■ a considerable extent, remedy
this wide spread evil. By his
analysis of specimens of
soils furnished to him, he
will explain to the owners the charac
ter, components and quantity of the
manures required to fertilize them.
By delivering public lectures as often
and at as many points sa he may be
able, he will instruct the inhabitants of
whole agricultural districts as to the
qualities of their lands and the fer
tilizers best calculated to confer upon
them the highest capacity for produc
tion. This will soon awaken the pro
per spirit among the people, and lead
as an ultimate result to a just appre
ciation of the importance of agricultu
ral education. The aggregate of ad
vantage could be ascertained only by
knowing fully the loss to the country
from the absence of and the amount
gained by the application, of science to
the operations of the plantation.
And boa shall we estimate the thrift
and activity which such an appoint
ment will impart to the mining interest
uf the state? Her mountains and hills
are rich in unbedded mines of ore. As
yet we have made hut little pn great*
in their discovery. Vast sums are
expended in blind experiments to as
certain their loeatien, resulting often
in the ho|>eleMS ruin of the zealous
seeker after the hidden wealth.
The large amount saved in the work
of testing ores is the least of ad vanta
ges of the appointment under consid
eration. The actual wealth which
would be developed by the scientific
direction of these operations is abso
lutely incalculable, whilst it would, at
the same time, open new channels for
capital and industry, and furnish em
ployment for thousands of laborers.”—
Journal of house 1855 6. page 30-31.

Brown in bis message tired the follow-
language:
While the state has made large ap
proprintioiis from time to time for
cleaning out rivers, constructing rail
roads, and for the encouragement of
commerce and other pui8uiis,it is much
be regretted that so little has been
done to encourage her great sgricnltu
interests—upon which almost every
other class is dependent for assistance
and snpp rt. No class is more honorable
than our farmers, who
are honest and patriotic

It then reorganized and held its meet
ings alternately at Macon and Atlanta,
being aided by those cities. It con
tinued to press this subject upon the
attention of the general assmbly.
Finallv, in January, 1S74, Gov. Smith,
in his message, urged “the establish
ment of a department of agriculture for
the state,” saying “men now distrust
analysis" (of manures, soils, miner* s,
eti^”) "and experiments given to the
world on unofficial endorsement
Could the information in every day
operations of the field and shop be sent

it wonld carry wi*.h it a weight and
sanction rendering it atveptable to the
public. Here could be gathered from
t-very source the most advanced ideas
and methods affecting the great inter
ests committed to this department. 1
He had the pleasure of signing the
bill authorising the depaitment in Feb
ruary, 1874. It would be useless to state
more of the history of the geological

September, 1874,
Such is the history of the establish
ment of the “bureaux.” Recommended
by Got. Johnson the then fast friend of
Milledgeville, pressed by the agricultu
ral society which was fn great measure
supported by Macon, recommended
again and again by Gov. Brown, not
touched by Gov. Bullock or Gov. Con*
ley, but again taken np by Got.
Smith. Who ever accused Johnson or
Brown or Smith of extravagance in
public affairs.
The geological bureau will soon finish
ite task—perhaps by the next meeting
of the general assembly. The agricul
tural bureau was established after much
thought by our own people, professedly
as a good financial measure, and it ia
claimed that by recent legislation it is
PAying its expenses and a surplus to
the treasury, bes.des protecting
and elevating the agriculture of the
county. It seems to us that this thing
has a pretty strong hold upon the pub
lic mind. The free tuition in “pgricui*
ture and mechanic arts” offered by the
university at Athens, will but strong
then that hold, if farmers will under
stand the dignity of their calling and
send their sons to learn. It seems to
ns that when our boys shall have been
educated in agriculture and mechanics
as well as in the classics, we shall be a
greater and a better state.
But if it be otherwise, if the bureaux
should be abolished, let it be done in a
manly way; do not say, "Let’s go to
Milledgeville. and thus we will have
abolished them, because we have no
sufficient room there for even the old-
time appliance* of the state.”
Verily this is a new kind of logic.
When we say the old capitol is too
small, and prove it by the records,
Milledgeville replies: "Yes, bat abol
ish the greatly enlarged business
of the state, barn yoar accumulation
of records and of books; if necessary,
destroy your extra seven hundred aud
fifty thousand population, lop off all
the appliances of a great state, that you
may be small enough to live comforta
bly "in the halls of our fathers.” Well,
the people can decide for themselves.
PUNCH, BBO lUKES, PUNCH /"
As is well known to the public the
slate of Virginia has been for some time
in an exceedingly short way, financial
ly speaking. Her tremendous debt,
pressed upon her with such grievous
force, that a large and respectable party,
arguing ex necessitati ret, and lead by
General Mahone, has openly advocate i
repudiation; or what amounts to the
same thing, "readjustment.”
A legislative genius, however, flanked
repudiation by a shrewd device, and
proposes to pay the debt without levy
a cent of additional taxes. His
plan was to charge two and a half cents
every drink of liquor sold, and a
half cent on every glass of Deer. The
next question, after determining to tax
each drink of liquor sold, was to pro
vide some method by which the num-
of drinks dispensed could be as
certained. To do this, a machine very
much like the street car bell punch was
invented and affixed to the counter of
bar-rooms. The bar-tender
obliged to turn a little crank on the
register, at which a bell rings, and the
hand scores one on the dial plate. If
customer should fail to hear the bell
ring as ha takes his drink, he knows at
once that the bar-tender is attempting
swindle the state. The authorities
expect to realize fully $800,000 per an
num on the special tax on drinks. The
reasoning by which this result is resco-
is appended herewith, being taken
from the Richmond Enquirer:
