We have already printed a state ment to the effect that the coin and bullion belonging to the confederate government is to be made the subject of several claim suite. It appears that the claim made for the com of the Kchmond banks covered into the treas ury is now presented by Wm. B. Isaacs A Co. # of Richmond, who in 1871 pur chased the claim. Ihe assets of the hank of Virginia and the Farmers* bank of Virginia were sold by order of the United 8tatee court in 1871, and the coin and bullion covered into the treaa ury were conaidered as part of the as sets. The history of this coin and bul lion as giyen by the Washington cor respondent of the Baltimore Pun, is quite interesting. On the day Rich mond was evacuated by the confederate f trees the coin and bullion, amounting t • about $160,000, was loaded on one of t »e last trains leaving that city and Kent to Abbeville, 8. C. From that place ,t was transported in wagons to the town of Washington, in Georgia. In May, 1805, the banks obtained from General 1’atrick, then in command of the United .States troops at Richmond, a |*ennit to bring their property back. Several of the officers of the banks went to Washington and started back with their treasure. When about eighteen miles from Washington, it is stated, they were met by a roving band of ex-confederate soldiers and relieved of $250000. The remaining $200,000 was safely carried to Richmond and delivered to the banks. Of the stolen $250,000 about $100,000 was subsequently re covered and taken back to Washing' ton, Georgia. In July the agents of the banks made another attempt to remove this money, but General Wild, in charge of the freedman’s bureau, ob jected, and said he would take prspon sion of it for the benefit of that institu tion. They then appealed to General Steadman, in command of the depart ment of iveorgia, who overruled Gen eral Wild. By the advice of General Steadman it was then taken to Augusta as a safer place than Washington. General Wild, however, sent word to Secretary' H’anton and others about it. Just as the bank officers were starting from Augusta, with a permit from Gen eral Terry and a safe conduct from General Steadman, a special treasury agent arrived with orders from Mr. Stanton to transport the coin and bullion to the capital, where it wai pine at! as a special deposit in the treasury The hanks then made application there, and after a full consideration President Johnson, upon the advice of Attorney General S|»eed, ordered the secretary of the treasury to turn it over to the banka. General Spinner, then treaa- uier, delayed to comply with the order, and went down to the capitol person ally and procured the passage of a joint resolution through both houses order ing the whole amount to be covered into the treasury. The resolution was referred to no committee, but passed both houses the same day it was intro duced. General Spinner then imme diately sent the bullion to the mints be coined, in order that all traces of its identity might be lost. and called the Virginias. Oothepr* mitigation of this opinion in London the cotton bonds held by English spec ulators advanced in value, the impres sion having got atooad that the money could be replevined by the holders cf the bonds, and their original invest ment in this way was fully covered. For some reason unknown at the treas- uary department Secretary Bristow dropped the claim. Recently the at torney for another party, claim ing to have influence, appealed to the solicitor of the treas- urv for a renewal of the contract. The subject was referred to 8 -cretary Sher man, and by him submitted to the secretary of state, who in turn referred th« matter to the solicitor of claims. The officer gave it as bis opinion that to presa the claim would involve the United States to a certain extent for the indebtedness of the cotton loan,and for that reason the government had better not undertake to claim tne money alleged to be in the bank cf England. This opinion, however, it is not believed, will deter the government from officially making inquiry as to whether there r s money depoeited in the bank of Ei g'and to the credit of the confederacy. The j tint high commit*- aion in framing the treaty of Washing ton fully di*cu-«ed the probable claims of British subjects, and in this treaty in providii g fer arbitration on the claims of Briiirii subjects, payment for slaves •od the so-called cotton loan were ex cluded. These are the views of the corre spondent, but it remains to be seen upon what I ha federal government wi base itsclaim to the money and wheth er this claim will be recognize ' as just by those having the fund in trust. It teems to us that the holders of confed erate cotton bonds have an interest in the money, while the south as a sec tion, has a clearer title than any the federal government can eet up. BILL CUAXDLKh'S CRUSADE. It is stated in a recent Washington Jit-pitch that the letter of Bill Chand ler reviewing the alleged presidential bargain, has been printed in pamphlet form, end is being sent broadcast. The cover of the pamphlet, has printed upon it: *'Can such things be,and overerme is like a summer cloud without cur ..ecial wonder?” In addition to Chandler's more recent and lengthy letter.lhe pamphlet also contaus «n ex tract from the speech of Wm. M. Evarts before the electoral commission, be moaning the fate of the colored people in the south if TiMen should he coun'- ed in; Chandler's letter charging perse cutions of republicans by Wade Hamp ton, in South Carolina, ana a review < f the Gordon-Conklir.g trouble The pamphlet will he mai'ed to mil pr< mi- nent republicans in the country and to the press generally. It is a^osnid, and the statement is vouched for by a re- •nhlican of the Bill Chandler stripe, and one who is quite intimate with* bit lemlacious worthy, that a few nighta ago a prominent southern republican called upon Mr. C inkling ai d i-aid that he thought hia(CjnkHrg’s)anf»gori m to the administration hydg.ee fur enough, and that lie ought 10 let np Conklmg's reply was that Ire had noth ing to do with general a'tacks upon the administration »f Mr. 11 tyes, hut that he (the visitor) would be doing his mas ter (meaning the president) a goo .ser if he would go and tell him that the attacks upon him had only com menced. And so it goes. SORMAL IX Cl It EX 1' AMt BO LI TICS. George Alfred Townsend, the well- known newspaper correspondent, grew genial enough the other day. be the soup and the cranlterrv pie, to pay a passing tribute to Georgia’s thrift and progress and to her chief cities, At lanta and Savannah, lu one portion of his letter, an ex.ract from which we print elsewhere, his desultory gossip suddenly develop** into a little bunch of wisdom which stands out as promi nently ss an ink ball on an oak leaf. •*A good teat of acommunity’s enliglu- meut,” sagely remarks this worldly- wise correspondent,* 4 ^ the large sinount of political editorial in their news papers.

The nor mat, every day incidents in a commu nity are unmistakable indications of the thrift, energy and progress of its ciurena, and whenever an editor is un fortunate enough to be driven to the necessity of belaboring the public with long, dry and continuous discussion on politics, it may be taken for grauted that the community wh oh the editor iu some sort represents is not troubled much with the restless energy of ins** provement. Political dhcusaion is sometimes timely and often necessary, but when an editor in searching fer topics of interest continually wanders up and down the dry, dead fiats if politics, the isnll lies in the dearth o. incident at their d »or. ready rival Aj at tfce focti:«ht..bowirg hi* ackcow'txtnaeate.

When this admirable farce was Owens’s only ctrd, he claimed the authorship by stating in his advertfse- menta and programmes that it was “translated from the orisrinal Chocktaw by John E. Owens.” To this day he has never given Colonel Thompson one dollar of the proceeds cf his brain- work, and has never acknowledged in any way his indebtedness to the editor of the News. Boucicanlt and Owens ought to have their photographs taken together. They make a truly intellec tual pair of jreat and good men.

If we believed that such wo* the fact, we wou’d rejoice ouroelve* that ihe politi cal future of thla distinguished Georglau was not to be over-ca«t by the hao'y j (dgmeut of an aorcaaonlDg and poosion blinded people. Bat we will net do the pee pie of Georgia the gn at Iniastice of believing any ouch thirg On ihe contrary, we have reason to think that Senau r Hill stands higher to day in the eitimotion < f Georgians than be ever atood b fore; that if an ehctlon to fill the high office which he now cccopies ebould be held to morrow, he would choacn triumphantly his own successor. We quite agree with our Augusta con tern i*o rary in this matter. Censuie maybe the most convenient, hut it certainly is not the most effective meth od of convincing an opponent of an error cf judgment or opinion. We re gard it as unfortunate that Mr. Hill should entertain the views upon the silver question which he recently ex pressed to one oi our repor ters, and we have undertaken, with our resect for ht9 intellectual abilities and our conti lence in his patriotism undiministiei, to show him the fallacy of his reasoning. At the same time we cun afford to recognize the right which Mr. Hill has toopiinons of his own, and ae most heartily endorse the remarks of the Augusta Chronicle and Cons'itutionalist.

The conclu sion of a trace is possible. Note.—This is probably the real ba*. sis of the apparent ACCORD BETWEEN RUSSIA AND ENGLAND The latet efforts of Eugland have been reported to be directed to fixing a limit to the powera of the commanders in > rranging a trace, and preventing them from discussing the main stipulations which might contain preliminaries of peace. That there are limits to her claim to a separate settlement, even Russia has almitted all along, the only question being whether the czar will consent to have these limits fixed at present, and on the demand of only one power. HOW IT WAS REACHED. London, January 9. - According to the Times’ Berlin correspondent, who is in a good position to know, a com promise has been reached rather f tvor- able to the British view. When the English cabinet asked Russia to state tier conditions fo- peace or an armis- Mce, aud Russia declined, England be gan a new negotiation to secure the separation of an armistice from the terms of peace. The Russian official press have since persistently declared that the two steps were inseparable, ’hereby implying that Russia would not abandon her claim tu conclude of April.

England’s position during the nego- 1 iation has been atated to be that she would take no steps towards encoura ging an armistice, if proceedings to that end were going to be used to fasten upon Europe a series of accomp ished facts which would only be submitted for subsequent ratification as a matter of form.

Opinions ex pressed by the delegates in conversation at the hotels in the evening showed it to be impossible to pa s resolutions condemnatory of the piesident or his policy. In the early part of the eve ning it seemed that both parties were DISPOSED TO MAKE CONCESSIONS, and it was thought if the matter was not entirely ignored an indorsement made in the resolutions would be mild or of a non committal character. There was a strong FEELING AGAINST CHANDLER which was freely expressed bv the dele gates, and it was claimed by Chandler’s friends there had been an organized ef fort to crush him, and that secret meetings had been held for that purpose, and that various prominent men had been drawn into it. The meeting was opened at 9 o’clock, and durirg the early part of the evening the proceedings were quiet and harmo nious, though in many of the speeches there were incidental or indirect ATTACKS ON MR. CHANDLER'S RECENT LETTER. The first speech was made by ex-Uni ted States Senator Patterson, who, though he endorsed the president, doubted the advisability of introducing the matter into the convention, as there was a disagreement upon it Speeches advocating either a conciliatory policy or positive endorsement of Hayes were made by Gen.

That the obvious intent of this pro vision was to assure the people that it should be determined on its merits by the proper judicial tribunal, in the event that the commission should hold itself incompetent to render such a de cleion. That, by its proceedings, it fully ap pears that said commission held it was incompetent to inquire whether formal returns of the eeverel states which were submitted to it were true or false. That, in coneeqnence of this decis ion, the present incumbent ol ibt preridential chair was seated in virtue of returns, which were notoriously false and fraudulent, and so, in effect, ad mitted by Mr. Justice Strong, whose vote seated him, also by the meum bent himself, in disregarding those re turns as respects state officers, whose titles to office were also based on them and were in every respect identical with his own. That whilst the repudiation of these returns by the incumbeat for all pur poses save his own election, is an ad mission that it was a fraud to use them for his own purpose, the motives which induced this partial repudiation greatly aggravates his offense.

Farmers sometimes rely on tradi tions—they ahould bear in mind that old traditions say four beasts have been translated to heaven, namely, the ass that spoke to Balaam, the white foal that Christ rode into Jerusalem, the steed B izark, that bore Mahomet on his famous night journey, and the dog that wakened the seven sleepers. Now we do not hope for animals an open range of limitless possibilities beyond the skit s, but surely it becomes us to be kind and considerate of the animals around ns, and oar interest should also dictate this course. Frequently we see farm horses poor, jaded, having the appearance of being overworked and haif fed.

That this condition was accepted for the incumbent' by Messrs. Stanley Mathews and Charles Foster, then and since, his closest friends and most au thoritative representatives. That said Brown and his associa f es had been elected as the adversaries of the incumbent, but separated from the great body of their political associ ates in the house of representatives to carry into effect said arrangemi nt. That at the time of entering into it, they were the leading advocates of the bill pending in said house, to gr*nt a large subsidy to Southern Pacific rail roads, to which the president-elect was known to be opposed, and it is a just inference, from all the circnmstai ces, that whilst they were willing to defeat his inauguration for this reason, they could not venture to act with their po litical opponents for that object, if such co-operation involved also the surrender oi the lrcal governments of the state in question, as well as their electoral votes to their political oppo nents*. That to remove the obstacle-*, it was stipulated in effect that the ircumb nt should treat the returns as fraudulent 10 far as they affected the 1-ical gov ernments of said states by withdrawing the United Slates troops,the presence of which alone, it was known, gave them any force. That it thus appears that the consti tutional question so gravely and elabo rately debated in congress before the electoral commission and in the public press as a question on which the presi dential contest hinged, and with which the public mind was so long exercised, had no part in determining the contest, but that it was, in fact, determined by a body of men elected by one party, bur. openly acting with their opponents ii the interest of certain railroad corpora tions, at the decisive moment that every interest of the country is greatly prejudiced, and its most vital interests jeopardized, by suffering tne people to t>e superseded as the political power and substituting for them such monied organizations that will pay fordtfrauri icg them. That in the opinion of your memori alists, the continued prostration of busi ness is due to the fact that the confi dence of the people in the con luce of public officers is shaken. n commend him f-ir prooxHi* of lien tenant <v u mtni. in which a ail order* from I. therefore, earner 1} * m 0 the poaiUoo :U Georgia regt- by the reoen: reermtr e dalion of a mtxmal boiru f tin me 11 on :h*> invalid coins of Lieutenant- Colonel K B Ni*b.t on account oi dioabilitv Ccngrem* meets to-d»y ai'.era vaca lion since the 15:h December.

O e advantage the farmer in Geor gia has over those of the north, and the west, the winters are not so long, so cold. Consf quently, h's cattle do not require as mucb food, or as expen sive and close stalls and sheds. North it is almost a necessity to keep cattle up through the winier. It is not neces sary here, and perhaps too close con finement is not healthy for them. Ah matter of course, cow houses or sheds nhould be erected on a well managed farm, and cattle sbonld be c >mforiably provided for during very severe weath er. Keep your cattle well fed, gentle them by kindness, and when suitable weather presents itself, let them have lots or woods to roam in. Varlntlon ot Crop*. The earth, in general, is a compound of veg table matter, formed by nature, to propagate a variety of plants, and those elements peculiar to each plant must be extracted from the earth by each peculiar species of plant.

They soon enrich the land over which they range, and their num ber increases with great rapidity. Plowing Gardena. We presume that a thonghtful far mer has long since cleaned off his gar den of the remnants of debris of crops made. As a matter of course farmers know that frost is an excellent worker on soil, and to benefit the garden most the ground should be rough plowed or spaded. Before ploughing or spading rough manure spread over the ground is excellent. By thus preparing the G. J. Wallace, of Worth, made this year with two mules, seventeen bales cotton, 800 bushels of oats, 74 bush- of wheat, 30 bushels of rye, 350 bushels of corn. 175 gallons of syrnp, 100 bushels of sweet potatoes, 300 pounds of fodder, 1,500 pounfs of pork. He also saved eight oushels of ground peas and 100 bushels field peas. —Covington Star: W© regret to learn that our farmers are still very much behind in getting out their cot- arden it receives full oenefit of the ier of the past two or three months.

If you intend to have early vegeta bles, good ones, and plentifully, do not be too late in thoroughly preparing the ground, and in having it well ma nured. Be in time in planting Irish pota toes—in fact, the earlier, when suita ble, the better the crop. Sweet potatoes should be bedded in time to have early drawings of slips. ' Tis due the more southern markets come into competition somewhat with us here; still be ready, an J have earl y peas. It is a good paying vegetable. In going about the vegetable stalls and c&its of the city, we have noticed that, in their season, there is quite a demand for spring turnips, and the early ones pay well. In fact, there are these and other vegetables which can stand pretty cold weather, and the earlier such veg etables are offered in market, as a mat ter of course the better the price: and from the present indications of ‘he weather, it is not likely to be all gathered in some time yet to come. —■Conyers Examiner: Hon. L. F. Livingston, of Newton, made on a two horse farm, last year. 300 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of wheat, 150 bushels of oats, and 27 bales of cotton, with the labor of himself and two sons. He has also fattened 11 head of hogs, averag ing 175 pounds each. This begins to look hke returning to the good old sjstem of farming under which the empire state of the south prospered in days of yore. When our farming in terests are so managed as to be self- sustaining, we shall know nothing of the hardships brought about by the intrigues of the bloated bondholders of north. the* Hog Knlslng. It is a pleasure to think the long, lank, chsrp-nosed breed of hogs is dis appearing from our state, and that farmers have introduced a far better and a more paying stock. Still hog raising and looking up a better breed is not receiving the attention it should What farmers need now is the hog that produces much pork on a small quantity -There is a great deal of good land uncultivated in Georgia and ii farmers would take hold of it witn diligence, skill, and be libeial with manure, there labors would be crowned with success, aud the blessings of abundance would scattered among them. —There are many plantations in Georgia, which once supplied families with employment aud sustenance, wh ch are now changed into bairen fields. —If farming was advanced as it shoud be in Georgia, the lots aud fields would please the eye by their beauty, and charm the fancy by the images with which they might be enriched. Georgia has 1,364,440 hogs, and ,264 *240 inhabitants, one hog tor each n, woman and child, and 200 over, qually divide©, and the hogs were it would about furnish the entire population with bacon and lard. —Consider the great advantages of setting out suitable fruit trees, in spring, in all available places. of food. In breeding hogs there are several things farmers should be careful about. 8ee to the quantity of the meat the hog makes. Then have an e>e to the size. Then select good breeders and hogs that are hardy. As a general rule it wilt hold good that hogs Having the best forms are the best paying ones. Frequently we hear 01 cholera among hops. If a fanmr will get a good breed of hogs and exercise judgment in their breeding, in feeding them and looking after them, it is doubtful if they will suffer much from cholera. An EttKllNliman'N Nerret. An E iglishman who visited this country was asked how he, as a farmer, managed to keep up and pay the high !nlR whirh Via onnnnti ” rents which he did. “Easily enough,' he said. “I do it by feeding my land before it is hungry, resting it before it is weary, and weeding it before it is foul.

Among the Faiin«*r«. At the recent state agricultural con vention of Illinoin, recently held, reso lutions were adopted stating that in their judgment games of chance should not be tolerated at county and state fair?, A memorial was prepared asking of the legislature laws against sheep killing dogs. The planting and using of chufas gains more favor with our farmers, as they find it is notan an expensive crop, and are found to be valuable for hogs and chickens. They fatten hogs and cause hers to lay. What more is needed ? 1'iant the seed in a shallow drill, some two feet apart, dropping them about ten or twelve inches apart, covering them with a plow. They spread rapidly under the surface, send ing up new shoots, and produce aston ishingly. Some farmers have experi mented with the tops for hay, and find it auswers very well. Some, after tbe tops are dead, have a portable pen whic h they move about in the fe’d,keep ing their hogs in it, and moving about as tbe chufas are rooted up. After trying them, chickens eat. them with avidity. Chufai require but little cul tivation. has not the support of the c -untry either of its great political parties.

Why not raise the yield of your cotton, corn, oats, wheat, yea, of whatever you grow t to the eatest possible maximum? Are you satisfied to say “ I have a fair crop,”—or “ my cattle, or my hogs, are about as good as common ?” Why, agriculture is the great industry of Georgia, and it should be the aim and pride of every Georgia farmer to do his part in making that great industry prosperous. In doing so he not only accumulates property for hlmBelf, but Bee Keeping. — If our farmers would propagate, support and preserve bees, they would find more advantages in it than they imagine. There is no reason why Georgia should not make honey, large in quantity, and excellent in quality and flavor. Among other reasons for propagating bees, they destroy numer ous insects which feed upon the honey in the bloom of trees, shrubs, and herbs, and which work harm in various ways.
