Athens, Gra.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 2, 1S74.
A Serious Matter,
Are the Georgia Railroad authorities aware
of the fact—do the people of Augusta know—
that the high rates of freight on cotton be*
tween this city and Augusta are driving from
their market and from transportation over
that road ten or fifteen thousand bales of cot
ton which has heretofore gone by that route,
but which now goes to other markets over the
Air-Line road t This is on account of the
low rates of froight offered lyr that road.
We aro assured that the loss this season
will bo at least ten thousand balos. and possi
bly much more! Will tho Georgia Railroad
officials and tbo merchants of Augusta per
mit this thing to go on, when they can so easi
ly prevent it t We trust not.

The Time is Short!
SETTLE UP J
The first of Jannary is rapidly approaching
at which time all who hare not paid beyond
that period will be dropped.
We cannot longer furnish thousands of pa
pers on empty promises and pay the postage
too.
May we not reasonably hope that all with
whom we have so patiently waited will come
forward, settle for the past and pay for a
year in advance » They will then be no lon
ger vexed about postage or with calls upon
delinquents.
Forty-Fourth Congress.
There seems to be needless misapprehension
in the public mind relative to the meeting of
the forty-fourth Congress—many supposing
that the members lately elected will take their
seats next Monday, and others believing that
the first session of the new Congress will be
gin on the 4th of March, 1875. Neither party
is correct. The forty-third Congress will ex
pire on the 4th of March next, but the forty-
fourth Congress will not convene until the first
Monday in December, 1875, unless the Presi
dent calls an extra session in the interim.
During Mr. Johnson's term an act was pass
ed providing for the organization of the new
Congress on the 4tb of March. After remain
ing of force until after the organization of the
new Congress in 1871, this act was repealed,
and Congress will hereafter meet, as in ante
bellum days, on tbo first Monday in December,
each and every year.
Too Many Newspapers.
Newspapers are, in their place, good things
but, like many other good things of this life
may bo “ run in the ground.” Many persons
suppose that all that is necessary to insure
success is to procure a press and types and
locate at some village, water-tank or wood
station on a railroad; and hence it is that
weekly papers aro springing up like mush
rooms. A little sxperlonco will teach many
of these now beginners that it roquires. in this
sparsely.settled country, a larger area to sup
port a newspaper than a blacksmith shop, and
rnoro capital to bny a printing office than a
shoe shop, and msro money to meet weekly
expenses than a barber shop.
Of tho largo number of weeklies now issued
In this State, wo venturo tho opinion that not
one-fourth of them are remunerative. It re
quires years of patient industry—the expendi
ture of largo amounts of money, and, above all,
the possession of poctiliar tact, to build up a
newspaper business that will pay, even in a
largo unoccupied territory. Many men of su
perior talents, learning and genius have failed
as newspaper editors. A failure of this sort is
no evidence of a lack of intellectual ability or
culture, bat it shows a want of ” tact.” Bat
few men arc qualified for the position by na
tuic; but this is not sufficient to secure suc
cess—they require also special training. Poets
may bo “ born"—editors have to bo •* made.
Frittering away on a hundred weekly papers
tho support wblcb is necessary to make twenty
good ones, is just as bad policy on tho part
of tbe public as it is for a farmer to attempt to
raise a hundred bead of bogs oa the quantity
of food necessary for twenty.
If heat.
Let no one grumble next harvest over a
short crop of wheat, as was the case this year
—short, not on account of nnpropitions sea
sons, bat from a failure to deposit seed in the
eartb. Don't defer this matter any longer.—
Wo arc pleased to sec that many are now im
proving tbe shining hours, and that a good
deal of wheat is already np.
Au Important Invention.
The Atlanta Herald says that a citizen of
that go-ahead and enterprising city has dis
covered, and on tho 3<1 ult. secured letters
patent for a process hv which iron can be con
verted into steel in an ordinary puddling fur
nace, at an expense of only four dollars per
ton ! Tbe steel is said to be superior in qnali
ty to tho celebrated Bessamor steel. Schqfield
& Co. of Atlanta have purchased the patent.
It applies not only to rails for railroads, but to
all kinds of steel.
It is difficult to over-estimate the impor
tance of this discovery, if all is true that is
aimed for it.
The Farmers in Connell.
See the call from the President of tho Geor
gia State Agricultural Society, the Master of
the State Grango, and others, fora mass con
vention of farmers, grangers, &c., in Atlanta,
on Wednesday, the 16th instaut.
As it is believed great good will resuit from
the proposod meeting, it is hoped that futj
delegations will attend.
S'* Concerning the currency question, the
New York Bulletin is of opinion that thoro will
he no change either towards expansion or con
traction this winter, and probably not for tho
next three or four years. Political parlies are
divided on the subject, tbequestion having be
come sectional—the North ant} East being, as
a rulo, in favor of specie payments, with its
disturbing preliminaries, and the South and
West against specie payments, or anything
calculated to distress the debtor class. The
best that seems to be hoped for is a trace on
the subject until tbe next Presidential eloction,
when tbe issuo may be more sharply defined
in politics.
tP* The Washington correspondence of tbe
Lonievillo Courier-Journal, under date of the
25th nit., says:
“ Tbe Hon. Alex. H. Stephens has this day
written a letter to the Mobile Register, defend
ingbimself from tbe attacks of tbat journal
on account of his utterance on the Louisiana
question. Mr. Stephens holds that it was tbe
President’s duty to enforce Judge Dnrell’s do
eree, but says that the law under which Dn-
rell acted was unconstitutional, and that the
order of Dnrell was, in respect to the Legisla
ture, illegal. In respect to the Arkansas ques
tion, Mr. Stephens is decidedly of the opinion
tbat the Hon. Volney Voltaire Smith has no
case whatever.”
Meeting of Georgia Farmers;
All tbe members of the Patrons of Husband
ry, delegates from all the county agricultural

A Truly Great Medicine.
The Globe Flower Cough Syrup. Its great
success and epreading popularity as a remedy
in all throat and long affections has astonish
ed ana delighted tbe wisest medical men. This
great remedy has aebleved a national reputa
tion; yea a world-wide fame. Thousands of
hopeless eases have been restored after all
ot her remedies and means have failed. Drug
gists say that they never sold a medicine that
gives such universal satisfaction. Thousands
of testimonials of remarkable cores, Dorn all
classes, Governors, Ministers, Physicians, etc.
testify to tbe intrinsic merits of the Globe
Flower Syrop, and Its great superiority over
all other ramedtss. We advise all to remem
her this, and when occasion presents, to nse
this pleasant and certain remedy.

Journalism as a Business.
In commenting upon tbe falinre of a news
paper manager, the St. Louis Globe tells a
plain troth in the following words: “ The
business of journalism will continue to be an
inviting field for experiments to those who
have a large amount of money and a largo
amount of egotism. A man who, having edit
ed a newspaper until he was forty, should sud
denly announce himself a lawyer, wonld be re
garded as a fool by the legal profession; and
yet wo often hear of lawyers of forty making
sadden pretensions to journalism. There is
an idea that the business of editing requires
no apprenticeship: that editors come forth
from law offices and colleges fully armed for
tho profession, like Pallas from the brow of
Jove. It is a mistake; there is not in America
to-day a single journalist of national reputation
who has not devoted more time and more hard
work to his profession than, with equal fitness
and application, would have mado him a great
lawyer or a good doctor. And yet ninety out
of every hundred men yon meet on the street
will hesitate about carrying a hod or making
a pair of shoes, whereas, there will probablv
not bo one in the hundred who can't, accord
ing to his own judgment, edit any newspaper
in th« country hotter than it is edited, no mat
ter in what manner or by whom.”
Grand Jury Presentments.
OEORGIA, Jackson county.
VA The Grand Juror* -clouted, chosen and sworn
fur the August adjourned term of Jaekion Superior
Court, beg leave to make the following presentments,
in addition to what was presented at the close of tbe
regular term:
1st. Whereas, the action of this body, at its sitting
in August last, in relation to the disbursement of the
current school fund apportioned to this oounty for
the yesr 1874, is liable to misconstruction, wo beg
leave to submit tbe following explanation of our for
mer action in regard to said land:
2d. Tbat it is recommended by this body that the
salary of tho County School Commissioner for the
yoar 1874, the expense of eonvejing said fund to the
county, the items of postage and stationery, be first
paid out of said apportionment, and
3d. Tbat the remainder be applied to the payment
of the pnblio school debt of 1871—no part thereof to
be applied to tho payment of teachers* claims for the
present year—other arrangements having been made
for tho payment of this debt.
4th. We find the bridge across Cedar oreek, near
Camp's Mill, in an unsafe condition, and recommend
that the Commissioners have a new one built ai early
as convenient.
5th. From the report of the Treasurer, we find the
indebtedness of tbe county, as nearly as we can ascer
tain, something over $12,000; hence our report with
regard to the building of a new jail. While utterly
opposed to the commission of crime, and desiring to
see the guilty punished end the law rigidly enforcod.
we stilt unwaveringly adhere to the recommendation
submitted by ns at the August term of this Court. The
building of a new iail, as originally planned and con
templated, which wonld cost the county more than
any private residence in it, is not necessary for the
safe keeping and comfort ol violators of law. Tbe
people of the county—the tax-payers—arc utterly op
posed to tho expenditure, deeming it unwise and iin
politic, and we therefore again recommend the repar-
iog of the old jail—holding ourselves amenable to the
people of Jackson county only, and are contented to
abide tbeir verdict—ignoring all outside issues or in
terference. We also recommend that the Commis
sioners have all the obstructions removed from the
lot on which the ja)I is located, and it besubstanti-Uy
paled in, with a gate in front and horse-racks on the
inside.
This body request tbat these presentments, with the
inority report, be published in the Athens Watcr-
EORGIA, Clarke county.
VX Whereas, Louis G Crawford applies to me for
letters of administiation with the will annexed on the
estate of Sne*n Crawford, late of said county, dec’d—
These are therefore to elte and admonish all con
cerned to show canne, if any they have, at my.offiee,
on or before the first Monday in January next, why

EF* How Mr. Stephens will vote upon the
question of Judgo Dnrell’s impeachment, is a
question the Mobile Register is very anxions bo
should answer. The Judiciary Committee re
commended Judgo Durell's impeachment in a
report made at tbo last session of Congress,
but Mr. Stephens has expressed the opinion
that bis Court had jurisdiction of tbo case made
by Kellogg to prevent tbe establishment of tbe
McEnery government. The Register cannot
understand bow Mr. Stephens can take issue
with tbe conclusion of the Judiciary Commit
tee, and eays: “ If be votes against Durell’s
impeachment on tbe ground tbat tho Federal
Court had jurisdiction of tbe case, it will, wo
think, be tbe duty of bis constituents to de
mand his resignation.”

Negro Brokers.
According to tho Albany News, the negroes
of tbat section, as here, are being persuaded to
emigrate to an imaginary El Dorado somo-
whore “ out West,” whore fabulous prices are
paid for light labor and rations found •* lying
around loose."
It is believed that certain parties are paid
so much per capita to persuade tbe ignorant
creatures to fill tho gaps created by death in
tho ranks of those who have gone before. Al
though slavery has been abolished, it seems
that “ nogro brokers" are still in tho laud, and
they can make a good thing of it at $25 per
head—as it- costs very little trouble to per-
uado a negro “ or any other man” to go where
ho believes he can better bis condition.

Indications of a Business Revival.
Tbe New York Financial Chronicle notes tbe
beginuiog of a wholesome change in tbe mon
etary movements of tho West, tho bank state
ment Saturday showing that currency is be
ginning to flow from New York city for tbe
purpose of moving tho crops. We quote;
“ If onr opinion is correct, it leads to several
important inferences. First, it confirms tbo
conviction generally held in tbe country that
the quietude of business is a healthful symp
tom. It foretokens returning vigor and re
newed enterprise. It shows that people all
over the country are economizing; and every
one knows that to economize, to save, to give
free coarse to tbe forces of frugality, are among
the most powerful methods by which the na
tional wealth accumulates. Secondly, it is a
maxim of politicalweisnee tbat no nation can
long accumulate its wealth by economies snch
as we are practicing withont setting the wheels
of industry in swifter motion.
“One of the numerous compensations in
which tbe panic seems destined to confer on
this country is that it has inspired our people
with the determination to be saving of tbeir
wealth, as well as energetic In its production
and distribution. For these and other reasons,
we have nnifonnly regarded as hopeful tbe
prospects of our commerce and finances since
thepaoic. If any are disposed to lose confi
dence because business does not revive more
swiftly, they will see reason on reflection to
conclude tbat here, as in many other great
movements, it Is best and safest to ‘hasten
slowly.’
‘There Is ground for the expectation tbat
before long signs of activity will spring up,
and we may regard tbe present movement of
cnrreuoy to tbe West and South as a harbinger
of better things to come."

The Great Cyclone
Of last week was very destructive In some
parts of the country.
More than one-third of the houses in Tus-
cumbia, Ala., were destroyed, ten or twelve
livos lost, and a large number of persons
wonnded. Among tho killed were tbe editor
of the Chronicle and his entire family, six in
number. Many persons are left honseless and
homeless, and the distress is very great.
In many placoa in this State—Clay ton, Chero
kee and Forsyth counties especially—many
on fib* were unroofed and Bb'mc hlbwn down. 1
A Worthy Example.
Tbe small number of negroes at tho banging
at Carnesvillo was a subject ofgeneral remark

A Constitutional Convention.
Another Grand Jury has spoken in favor of
a Constitutional Convention. The Grand
Jary of Spalding county speaks as follows:
We respectfully ask the General Assembly
to have snch steps taken as will bring about
a State Constitutional Convention, to take in
to consideration tbe propriety of reducing our
representation in the Legislature, and at the
same time so arranging tbe services of the
eame so as to do away with the enormous drain
imposed upon the country by too mnch legis
lation.
It will be remembered that tbe Representa
tive elect from Spalding county is Judge Alex
ander M. Speer, one of tbe ablest men in tbe
State, and the strong advocate of a Conven
tion. We have no doubt that bis services in
tbe Legislature will contribute greatly to the
success of tbe measure.—Chron. A Sent.
Public Executions.
Every day's experience adds strength to tho
conviction that public executions are demoral
izing in tbeir tendency, and we hope the time
is not distant when all Judges, in passing sen
lence upon criminals, will require thejr execu
tion within tbe jail encloeure.

Minority Presentment.
The minority of tho Grani Jury respectfully submit
following presentment:
Relieving ibat we were right iu our presentment
th regard to the now jail in August, we still dissent
rom the ntnjority, for each and all of the reasons sot
rtli at that time.
still further dissent, because we are convinced
that priioners confined in our present jail, which on
ers not only the health, but tho life even of its
iccup ints, may recover damages, and ultimately make
tho expense to tho county much "renter than theerec
on of a substantial jail. Wo do not wish to Lave the
fair name of our county tarnished and our want of
public spirit advertised from year to year, by adm ; n-
istering justice and confining criminals in such build
ings. We therefore beg that his Honor George D.
Rice take the necessary legal stops for compelling the
proper authorities to erect, without delay, at least a
new jail, which we deem at present an absolute neces
sity.
We have this confidence in tho pride and sense of
justice which must be in the hearts «/ our fellow-citi
ens, that when they come to consider the question
calmly and without prejudice, they will surely approve
the course wo recomuend.
