The average condition for all the coun¬

1st, 855; August 1st, 918. These figures
are corroborated by the explanatory notes
of correspondents, which, with few ex¬
ceptions, are much more hopeful in their
tone than they were a month previous.
The chief drawback is the apprehension
of insect ravages, In North Carolina lice
in four counties. In Chowan, old far
mers say they never saw cotton lice so
numerous before. Iu Camden the cotton
lice in many instances has almost ruined
the crop, In Penguins lhe cotton is al
most covered with lice. The caterpillar
is reported as having appeared in greater
or less numbers in nine counties in Flori
da and five in Georgia; also in Jackson
county a now enemy to the cotton, a
borer, which bores iuto the form aud
causes it to drop. The caterpillar worm,
army worm, boll worm or web worm is
reported in fifteen counties in Alabama;
in nine in Mississippi; in twelve in Texas.
Paris green and other destructive agents
■ being • experimented • witn. T in „ some !
are „
,ii„ 1
instances, - . it is claimed, very sucessfully.
The caterpillar at the date of reporting,
had done vastly more at threatening than
at execution, the cases being few in which j
ai they had it yet . inflicted • a - . i serious injury. • j nrTr ‘
as
Whatever they will do or not depends j •
upon condition of the weather and other
exigences which no reporter can now fore- |
tell. The crop on the whole is still some- j
what backward, though in many looa l_ ,
ities, rapid growth in July has brought it j i
forward to average advancemet for the
season.
A TREASURY INVESTIGATION.
Washington, August 15.—The Treasu¬
ry Department recently, in the re-exam¬
ination of various documents, discovered
one or two cases of alleged Custom frauds,
said to have been committed in 1867, and
a few days ag— .--en! Mr. Vanderbilt, of
the Department, to New York for the
purpose of exammingg into the ease, The
names of several Custom House officers
having been mentioned in that connec¬
tion, the chief object of jiis visit to that
city was to ascertain whether they were
implicated in fraud or improper deal
mgs. Mr. Vanderbilt having re
turned to Washington to-day, reported to
the Secretary that there was nothing what¬
ever to implicate these officers in wrong
doing. This was the only matter which
oc cupied his attention \^ile in New York.
His visit had no connection whatever
with the removal of any body, nor had
aDy order been previously issued for that
purpose or for examining into the con¬
duct of officers and employees connected
with any branch of the Custom House.

at his post. The' uea.h list has reached

The Macon correspondent of the Atlanta |
Constitution has heard it said that the

seems to be too much of a good thing.

SAM BARD'S PAPER.
We have heretofore expressed a lively
interest in Gov. Samuel Bard’s new jour¬
nalistic enterprise. We believe that it
has a political significance, and this be¬
lief is by no means shaken by the reports
that he has had offers of aid to start a
paper elsewhere than at Atlanta, and to
make it “indepeudent” (so-calledJ instead
of openly Republican, and that he has
firmly rejected such overtures. We copy
from the Macon correspondence of the
Atlanta Constitution a report of an inter¬
view with the editor who “first nominated
Grant” for his first term :
Governor 8am Bard, of Atlanta, was in
the city yesterday, a guest of the Brown
House. He took lhe Macon aud Augusta
train last night for the latter city. He
was entertained by several prominent
•citizens of both parties, all of whom nr
gently solicited him to start a new daily
independent paper here. But to every:
suggestion of sinking the individuality of 1 !
Bard and Radicalism with a money-mak- 1
ing enterprise he persistently refns. d.
*He was told plainly that a Radical !
weekly, ^ much less a daily, ,T could not earn
a support , in Macon. V1 1 ftin in politics l x-
11
and , can ,. t get , out. . T I will i. start . • class i
u : j
weekly free and independent .- 1 1
paper in Atlanta on the first ot oepleni
her. Xhere I have no opposition; nor,
indeed, in the State of Georgia. In a few ^
months it will be turned iuto a daily, !
backed by the power and patronage of j
the United States Government. |
Publishing, therefore the only truly
layal paper in the State, Atlanta, the capi
tal city, is the place to issue. I sold the
New Km to Kimball & Co., for $28,000, 1
and I have not, nor do 1 intend to, fool ;
away that money. ;
“The objection I have to Macon,” he i
continued, “is its social ostracism. My \
wife is a creole lady who lost one hundred j ]
and twenty-five negroes by the late un¬
pleasantness. and although a Southern •
lady of the highest social standing, were
I to move her to Macon she would b.
ignored because of my political connec- will, j
tions. All that sort of nonsenese in
the end, pass away. I do not much blame
the people of Macon with refusing the He ameni- j
ties of gentlemen Swayze. was
a radical jackass and blackguard unwor¬
thy of decent company.
“My new paper will be issued upon j
type of the most modern style, aud, if
possible, be a more perfect specimen of
typographical beauty than the Atlanta
New Era of other days.”
And so Macon misses the opportunity,
and he is remitted back to what he not
unaptly called “the cosmopolitan city of
Georgia”—Atlanta.

QUAINT AND CURIOUS.
The New York Herald thus summarizes
the responses made from the States to
the “Centennial” invitation: “New Hamp
shire offers a gigantic cheese—a Phila¬
delphian wants a position—Now Jersey
submits a plan of reform—California
moralizes, and after summing up the cen¬
tury, wants to turn over a new leaf.” it
prints the letters containing those propo
sitions.
The Herald's Vienna correspondence
reports the Austrian Emperor’s visit to
the American department of the great ex¬
hibition on the 28th ult., and says that a
Californian exhibitor asked him to take a
drink, to which his Majesty politely re
plied, “No, thank you”—which only goes
to show' that European Emperors have not
yet learned the answers of Americans on
such occasions. Of course the Califor¬
nian was too modest a man either to press
the matter or get offended.
The Talbot ton Standard (whose pro¬
prietor and corresponding editor is
spring chicken) says: “A poor youth of
twenty, in love with a pretty girl, is oer
taiuly the most pitiful object within the
range of human conception. He is tit for
nothing in the world but to sit in the
window of some well arranged candy shop
and light flies. He should lie covered
with Florida molasses and licked to death
by sick kittens. We offer a silent prayer
for all such every day that we live.”
As some boys were flying a kite, lately,
in a field near Woodstock, Out., it was
attacked by a small hawk, which got its
claws entangled in the paper and cord,
•i nd was secured.
A Western parson delicately began a
funeral discourse by alluding to the fact
that he had officiated at the hanging of
the father of the deceased.
A lightning-rod agent was killed by

Too much rain for cotton, just now. If
the dratted caterpillar had any intention
of suspending operations, the almost daily
showers this aud lower scctious are having
would induce him to change his mind.
Many farmers are trusting to luck in the
matter, and have made no investments,
as yet, in Paris green, while others have,
and are using ll freely, nud generally
with success. We believe, as a general
thing, there would be little danger from
them if we could have plenty of sun¬
shine—the real scorching kind; for plant
ers tell us that while they' are in some
places almost as numerous as Inst year,
r.hoy are not nearly so active or voracious
they seem sluggish aud uncertain in their
movements. This constant rain may,
however, infuse new vigor iuto their
movements, and muster them for a lor
ribly destructive crusade. Cotton is un¬
usually well fruited this year, ami if the
worms make up their minds for an active
eauq aign they will find an enormous
quantity of material to work upon.— Mo¬

Phospocatud Elixir of Calisya made by

Vs a stimulant tonic for patients recov¬

prevents fever and ague and other inter
