The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
and indeed the press of Georgia—has
suffered a severe loss in the recent death

almost a score of yoars was connected

ter ou ditl'erent Atlanta papers, and for
the the last four or five years as local
editor of the Telegraph and Messenger.
In addition to his personal popularity,
he takes a high rank in the literary
cuild. One of his poems, “Hampton,”
recently republished, went tlio rounds

In a recent lecture in Edinburgh on
“The Stars,” Professor Grant said a rail
way train, traveling day and night fifty
miles per hour, would reach the moon in
dx months, the sun in two hundred years;
and Alpha Centauris, the nearest of the
fixed stars, in forty-two millions of years;
a cammn ball, traveling nine hundred
miles per hour, in 2,700,000 years; and
light, traveling 185,000 miles per second,
in three years. Light from some of the
telescopic stars takes 5,700 years to reach
the earth; from others 500,000 years.
Those stars, therefore, may have become
extinct thousands of years ago, though
their light comes to our eyes. Alpha
Lyra is 100,000,000,000 of miles from
us, and its magnitude and splendor are as
”0 to 1 compared wiih our sun. The sun
is neither greater nor smaller than most
of the stars.
D. Wyatt Aiken, agricultural editor
of the Charleston Ncies and Courier, says
in his paper “that the larger breed of
sheep cannot be profitable in the Cotton
States. This remark is general, and may
not agree with the experience of somefew
wool-growers; but we mean to say that
any man who succeeds with the larger
breeds, will succeed much better with the
smaller and more hardy sheep. This is
a principle that we do not believe can be
controverted, that, in our latitude and
climate, no large breed of animals can be
grown as economically, as successfully,
a od as profitably as a smaller breed of
fhe same animal. For this reason we
prefer the Ayreshire to the Durham cat-
;! e > fhe Essex to the Poland-China hog,
me Racer to the Percheron horse, the

mo to the Cotswold sheep.

doc vs. SHEEP.
In our last issue wo published the very
interesting crop report of Commissioner
Janes for the month of May. In that re
port there were some statements
reference to dogs, sheep and cotton, which
doubtless caused the optics of the aver
age reader to expand somewhat with no
little astonishment. Yet we suppose that
our know-all-tliings,theoretrical retrench-
men t-and-reform legislators would read
those statements with that characteristic
owl-like gravity and indifference which
should be manifested by' every political
philosopher whose mind is monopolized
in solving the great problem, “How Not
to Do It,” or is seeking recreation from
this mighty task in letting its uncon
querable legislative propensity gratify
itself by securing the passage of a bill
whereby Mr. Shirkwork is granted the
privilege of peddling without license.
And thus do our “learned” law-manu-
ufacturs perform the brilliant stragetic
movement whereby they flank—that is,
ignore altogether — the unanswerable
logic of such statistical facts as the fol
lowing in Commissioner Janes’ report, al
luded to above:
“The number of sheep killed by dogs
in the last twelve months was eight
and a half per cent, of the whole, and
destroyed by disease and cold only five
per cent.
The value of the sheep annually des
troyed in Georgia is not less than 870,000!
—sufficient to pay the expenses of. a
Constitutional Convention, or a twenty-
day session of the Legislature.
That amount of money would be
wisely expended if it should result in
the passage of and effectual sheep-pro
tective dog-law.
It costs no more to produce a pound of
wool than a pound of cotton, and the wool
sells for three, times the price of cotton.
Again, the one hundred thousand dogs
in Georgia comsume and destroy food,
either already fit for human use, or
suitable for feeding to productive ani
mals, an amount which, estimated in
bacon, would s up pi y. peril ups. hfly tho u-
saiul laboring menl Yeniups one-iouui,
or even one-half, of these dogs are more
or less valuable and profitable. The
remainder are a curse and burden.
Certainly these considerations merit the
careful attention of onr legislators.”
Do these facts need any comment?
None whatever. And yet every dog will
continue “to have his day,” and “dog-on-
tlie sheep” will continue to tell the fate of
his wooly victim.
If our Legislatures will persist in their
course upon this question, and the people
continue to “back” them in their action—
or rather non-action—then for the sake
of the next generation, let a finger-post
be put up on life’s highway, and thereon
let the following words be inscribed in
such legible letters that one may read as
he eagerly and breathlessly runs in pur
suit of the phantom, wealth:
“Shun this route. It leads to the great
Cotton-Dog Desert, where thousands have
suffered aud died, led on by the mirage
of cotton groves and the ‘Happy Land of
Cauiue.’ Take the other road, by which
you may pleasantly journey to the green

Georgia’s New Bonds.
Signal Success of Mr. James* Financiering.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger.]
Atlanta, Ga., June 16, 1877.
The recent trip of Treasurer Renfroe
to New York was undertaken in order
to pat the new six per cent, bonds .of
the State on the market This mission
has been eminently successful.
It will be remembered by tho student
of our State politics that in 1876, an
effort was made by the Legislature to
fund certain bonds endorsed by the State,
by changing the then existing bonds
with new ones of the same rate of interest,
bnt running for the period of twenty
years. The bill by which itwashoped to
effect this change passed the House, bnt
was killed by the Senate, and the only
benefit derived from the attempt, unsuc
cessful as it was in the main, was the sav
ing of the interest on said bonds for that
year.
act op 1877.
A bill was introduced by Mr. James,
of Fulton, daring the session of the last
Legislature)to,'authorize the Governor
to issue bonds endorsed by the State to
the amount of 82,298,397 00. The ob
ject of this issue was to enable the State
to take up the^ontstanding bonds of the
M. & B. Road, thelNorth)&. South Rail
road and the Memphis Branch Rail
road, either by exchanging jthe new
bonds for the old or by buying up the
old bonds at par with the proceeds of
the sale of the new bonds endorsed by
the State and bearing interest at the
rate of six per cent per annum, redeem-
able in twelve years in specie.
DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY.
When the scheme, was proposed a
thousand objections were urged as rea
sons why it could never succeed prac
tically. Men asked, “how are yon go
ing to induce the holder of bonds at 7
per cent interest to exchange them for
bonds at 6 only,” or in other words,
“how can it be expected that a man
who holds paper worth 95 to 97 cents
in the dollar to exchange them for that
worth only 93 to g4?
Mr. James’ answer to all these inqui
ries was, “get the bill passed, and I will
engage to manage the rest There will
be no doubt of the ready acceptance of
the new bonds by the holders of the
old,” and the seqnel has proved”the
soundness of the judgment of Georgia’s
financier.
The bill was approved and became a
law on the 19th of Feb., 1877.
Mr. James then went to bulling Geor
gia bonds, and in a short time he brou
ght Georgia sixes to par. As soon as
this was the case they sold jliko hot
cakes; very few holders of the old bonds
objected to the proposed exchange as
they were sure of their interest at 6 per
cent, and, whenever anynone did ob
ject he hod his choice of accepting or
of receiving par for his sevens at the
part oi ttie State or ner Donas tor tne
3tate has either the right to pay a bond
holder par for his bonds or to exchan
ge them for a bond at par.
The result of this stupendous scheme
has been that nearly all the old rail
road bonds have been exchanged for
the new sixes thereby saving to the
State actually in the future 8280,000
per annnm, and nearly half a million
more than in 1876.
Whenever tho Radical Pharisee feels
like rising up and casting his eye South
ward and then skyward—they have no
idea where to look for heaven—and com
placently feeling how nice it is not to be
like those “Southern Barbarians,” they
should turn to that passage in the Good
Book where the Master advises those who
are guiltless to first cast a stone, and then
take up the copy of the New York Sun
anil read the following, which we clip
from that paper:
“It is a dreaded state of affairs in Miss
issippi which lets the Chisholm murder
ers go unpunished. On that point tlicre
is little room for disagreement. Thq lo
cality where such a crime can be com
mitted with impurity is justly regarded
as a plague spot, unfit for human habita
tion. Here in New York, and indeed
throughout the country, it is hardly men
tioned without an expression of abhor
rence for such a condition of society as
must exist to secure immunity to tho
murderers.
But what have we to boast of in com
parison ? Is not the Huntington murder
still unavenged? A young man. was
mobbed by scores of persons, in a public
highway and in conspicuous .private
grounds. Ho was tarred and feathered,
beaten and mutilated, Women, some of
tho elite of the town among them, came
out to look with wondering admiration
on the scene. Finally the poor fellow
was rowed out in a boat and sank in the
sea, the briny water choking his voice
and silencing his cries, which were only
heard by Heaven after that Yet this
great crime remains unpunished and vir-
tualy unproseeuted!

New York! What have we to boast of?”

These bonds are now in the hand of
men who esteem them so highly that
they can scarcely be bought at all, very
few being now on the market. They
are mostly in the hands of parties in
New York, there being about half a

yet one year ago Governor Smith was
compelled to sell 8500,000 worth of the

FUTURE OF GEORGIA CREDIT.
It may safely be prophesied that the
credit of the State of Georgia will be
equal, if not superior, to that of any
State in the Union. First—This ex-
chage puts Georgia’s liabilities inside of
111,000,000, including her endorsement
of the South Georgia & Florida Rail
road, amounting to 8500,000. Second
—Tho fact that the State owns the Ma
con & Brunswick and Western & At
lantic Roads, worth 87,000,000, reduces
the State debt still more, leaving a lia
bility of only about 84,000,000 above
her assets. Third—A majority of the
delegates to the Convention will come
pledged to discountenance all future
lending of State aid to any enterprises
whatever. We may safely look to see
Georgia securities still higher in the
market, when government bonds will
be at par.
The credit of this most advantageous
posture of State securities is justly due
to the foresight and judgment of John
H. Jam^s, of Fulton.
War Talk From Mexico.
Lerdo de Tejada, ex-President and
claimant of the Mexican Presidecy, has
given his views on the late order to
Gen. Ord, as to pursuing Mexican rea
ders, in a communication published in
the New York World. Lerdo says:
It is to be hoped that no such case
as the order contemplates may arise,
nor any cause of misunderstanding be
tween the two countries. If, unfortu
nately, this hope should not be verified
Mexico could not consent to allow
American troops to enter her territory
without submitting to a violation of her
lights as a sovereign and independent
nation. I most sav, therefore, not only
in my own name, bnt in that of all the
supporters of the constitutional govern
ment, that neithei for the purpose of re
storing it, nor for any purpose, can we
fan to fulfil onr dntyinthe presence of
any peril to the autonomy and the
rights of Hexioo. The constitutional
government will seek no help bato from
the opinion and action of the Mexican
people, holding sacred above all things
the honor, the integrity and the inde
pendence of the country.
. This donbUess represents the views
of Mexicans generally. They will cons
true a pursuit of raiders by United
States troops as an invasion, and in
that case we may find even Lerdo, Igl-
essias and Diax fighting on the same
side. . _
