It is a long, long Iudo that never turns; and huuce we are glad to see there are indications that the “Morton lane” in In diana—or rather, not a lane, but the fil thy Morton back alley—is about to turn in a pleasanter direction, judging from the following rumor, which comes from Indiana that Senator Morton is growing unpopular with his party on account of ;;ie way in which no controls I'-ederal appointments, and that the di> approba tion is becoming loud aud ominous.

The Macon Telegraph and Messenger and indeed the press of Georgia—has suffered a severe loss in the recent death of its popular and gifted local editor, Mr. A. II. Watson. Mr. Watson for almost a score of yoars was connected with Georgia journalism—first as repor 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 of the press and received no stinted praise. May he slocp in peace. 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 . ame-cock to the Shaughai, cud the Mer- mo to the Cotswold 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 pastures by the clear, still waters—the land of ease, and riches, and plenty and of—sheep; wlitro the bleating of tho lamb is heard, and the bark of ye dog echoctli not among ye green hills, and a purp’ exists solely in the memory of things that were.” LET HIM THAT IS GUILTLESS EIUST CAST A STONE.

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!

We see from the official report of the New York Stock Exchange of June 8th that Georgia sixes are quoted at 101. This was after they wera put regularly on the market. On the 7th, the day before, Treasurer 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 million held within the State. And yet one year ago Governor Smith was compelled to sell 8500,000 worth of the old 7's to pay the accrued interest there on. 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. . _ The White House.
