The Sweet Potatoe.
Now, that Southern fanners are striv
ing to make their own provisions, let them
not overlook the humble potatoe. How
much labor and brains have been wasted
in trying to improve the production and
staple of cotton, and who has ever given
a thought to the improvement of the
sweet potatoe? We have taken it as we
found it, and have cultivated it as our
grand fathers did, and the consequence is
that they are deteriorating in quality as
well as production.
The farmer will ask how he shall go to
work to improve the sweet potatoe? I
would answer: Go back to seed and pro
duce new varieties. A great majority of
the seedlings would no doubt prove worth
ioss, yet something might be obtained su
penor to anything we have now. There
are many farmers that are not aware that
the sweet potatoe blooms and bears seed.
There are some seasons that they do not
bloom, and when they do bloom, but few
of the vines in a huge held produce flow
ers. The flower is like the bloom of the
Morning Glory, and in fact, the sweet po
fcatoe belongs to the same family of plants.
The seed are produced the same as the
Morning Glory produces it seed.
The seed from one pod will produce many
varieties, and possibly some superior to
the original; but if care be taken to hy
bridize there is no telling what improves
ment may be made. We want an earlier
potatoe than we now have; one that com
bines size and excellence. They should be
abundant the first of July. Wliat a saving
of wheat and corn. For manure one acre
of land high enough to produce fifty bush
els of com, and it will produce four buns
dred bushels of sweet potatoes, and there
is no more substantial fat-making food
for man or animals raised on the farm.
Behold what wonderful improvement the
Northern farmers have made in the last
few years in the Irish potatoe. The Early
Rose has been considered the lie plus ul
tra of all the early potatoes; but now they
have one earlier and better than that, the
Early \ ermont. This was produced by
fertilizing the Jackson White with the
Garnett Chili They have, by persever
ing experiment and judicious crossing,
not only improved the quality of the po
tato, but brought them into bearing much
sooner. I have demonstrated the truth
of this this season. About the middle of
February I planted Early Rose and Pink
Eye potatoes in my garden. I am now,
April 20th, eating fine new tubers from
the Early Rose, and the Pink Eyes are
about the size of peas now. I believe the
sweet potato is as susceptible of improve
ment as the Irish potato, and it must be
done in the same manner, by hybridizing.
Would it not be well for our agricultural
societies to offer a handsome premium for
the best new seedling -weet potato? One
combining earliness with improved quali
ty. The premium might not help swell
the crowd at the Fair, but if competed for
and fairly won, would do more for the
material interest of the South than all the
gin crack premiums usually awarded at
agricultural fairs.

A Cwmplaiat frta CwUred Citizens of Gear
lie.
Washington, Friday, May 8, 1874.
The colored people of Georgia are com
plaining to Congress that they are un
fairly treated by the Democratic adminis
tration of their State in the distribution
of arms to the State militia. In a memo
rial adopted by the colored Military Con
vention, held in Savannah last February,
and just presented to Congress, these
people say that although they have form
ed military companies in accordance with
the laws of the State, and the State has
received from the United States since
the close of the war 1,189 breach-loading
rifles, 870 muzzle-loading rifles, 520 pis
tols, 500 cavalry sabres, 5 light 12-pound
bronze guns, and fifty non-commissioned
officers’ swords, all of these arms but
150 breach-loading rifles have been dis
tributed to white companies. The memo
rialists say that they are alarmed at this
and other circumstances, winch convince
them that the Democratic rulers of Geor
gia intend, so far as possible, to keep the
colored people of the State* in ignorance
by neglecting to establish schools for their
eduction, and prevent them from organi
zing military companies, so that they null
be weak while cunningly devised plans
are matured to control absolutely their
labor. Among things of which they com
plain is the organization of a secret so
ciety of planters known as “Patrons of
Husbandly,” which they fear intends to
control the labor on the plantations of
the members, to the injury of the colored
men. They therefore ask Congress to
provide “for organizing, arming, and dis
ciplining the militia of Georgia, so that
military companies composed of friends
f the Union may enjoy the same privi-
ges that its late opponents enjoy," and
that in the organization and equipment
of military companies no discrimination
shall be made between said companies on
account of race, color, or former condition
of servitude.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher makes this
comprehensive reply to an anxious quess
tioner, who is desirous of knowing wheth

as the first: “That depends on what sort
of a wife the first was, and what kind of
lift* the second leads him.”
The Duchess of Edinburgh, it appears,
offended English taste lately in her wed
ding trousseau, which included garments
of too glaring colors to suit English ideas
of dress: “It is no secret,” says a Lon
don newspaper writer, “that some of the
leaders of the fashionable world pro
nounced the dresses of the Russian
Princess ‘vulgar,-’ and she is now ap
pearing in the more sober and chaste col
ors."
The manufacture of a rifled gun, weigh
ing eighty-one tons, has been begun at
the Woolwich arsenal, England. It will
throw a shot of about sixteen hundred
pounds weight, and is intended for the
iron-clad Inflexible, which will carry four
guns of this kind in its turret. They will
he the lai'gest pieces of ordnance in the
world. The Inflexible is building at
Portsmouth, and will have twenty-four
inches of solid iron plating, and be con
structed so as to cany guns weighing one
hundred and fifty tons. She is meant
for a sea going vessel.

Or the coming Senator from Connecti
cut a correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier writes:
There is a strong probability that Wil
liam W. Eaton, of Hartford, will be the
choice of the Democraticlegislative caucus
for United States Senator to succeed Mr.
Buckingham. I have written something
about Mr. Eaton before. He is a pro
minent lawyer, but it will interest you
more to know that he belongs to the class
of Democrats who used to be called “Pro
slavery" before the war, and “Copper
heads" while it raged. He is an ultra
States rights man, and an active and for*
cible speaker, and would speedily make
himself conspicuous if he went into the
Senate. His election by Connecticut
would be a significant commentary on the
revolution in public sentiment that is
going on, for the State gave Grant
heavy majority eighteen months ago.
The late Elder Knapp must have been

The organization of the Direct Trade
Union has been effected. This grand sche
me is the conception of the Patr ons of Hus
bandry, and, under their fostering care, it
will be consummated. The benefits will
not be confined to them, but, beginning
with the greatest amelioration of the
condition of our farmers and planters,
the good of the organization well be felt
throughout our w hole society. All classes
will share in the grand results; but to
the tillers of our soil we appeal to make
this effort of the Patrons of Husbandry,
in behalf of our greatest interest, a splen
did success from the start.
Long have you suffered from unnec
essary burdens. The time has come for
your release. The way is direct and
sure out of your troubles. Millions may
be saved to the men who earned them
by hard, honest labor. This may be
done by direct trade through our own
cities, merchants and agents The pre
sent circuitous channels by which the
productions of our soil and labor reach
the consumer are not the results of any
necessary law of trade. They are ar
bitrary, and are adverse to the interests
of producer, manufacturer and consum
er.
Let us resolve that wliat wo raise shall
take the most direct routes to our final
markets, and the sales return, through
as few toll gates as possible, to our
pockets. We mean no hostility to any
man, class or section. We only propose
to protect ourselves. Difficulties there
will be, and discouragements, and much
of hard work, in the accomplishment of
our object; but the infinite value of the
success will be worth all that it will cost,
and far more than human foresight can
estimate.
Capital will be needed, and that can be
raised by the divided and general sup
port which the Granges of this State,
and the Southern States should feel it
.their interest to give. A good amount
has already been subscribed. More is
required. Every Grange in Georgia
should feel that Direct Trade was of the
last consequence to our success as farm
ers and planters, feel it to be a privilege
to contribute, by liberal subscriptions,
to the success of the enterprise. A
moderate contribution on the part of
every Grange would make the Union an
assured success. W e look to our breth
ren of other cotton States for aid and
co operation. They are no less interes
ted than the farmers and planters of
Georgia. Lend us your help, brethren !
Speaking for the officers, Directors, and
all who have taken part in this organiza
tion, we pledge our words that what yon
entrust to us shall be used for your good
—for the liberation, redress and independ
ence of planters and farmers of the South,
and for a commercial reform which will
impart new life and activity to our cities,
and be reflected in the prosperity of
every department of industry.
Subscriptions will be taken by note,
payable on the 1st of October next, in
cash or cotton. Bring the subject be
fore your councils—canvass for sub
scriptions to stock—urge all to help the
enterprise—communicate the result to
us, and apply for any information you
may need. A. H. Colquitt,
President Direct Trade Union.

The Importunate Beggars.
Philadelphia has made a most persistent
effort to get a few millions from the pub
lic purse for her Fourth of July celebra
tion. Undismayed by frequent defeats,
the lobby is still on its legs, righting for
something, for anything that it can get.
A Washington dispatch says:
“Friends of the Centennial appropria
tion are organizing for another trial of
strength. They think that by reducing
the amount of the appropriation to one
million of dollars, the sum desired for
this year, they can pass the measure. Be
fore the next contest «n the floor of Con
gress the Pennsylvania delegation will
have a full understanding with the friends
of all pending projects with a view of se
eming votes.”
Per contra, the Washington correspond
ent of the Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
“The friends of the Centennial gener
ally concede to-day that the scheme is
dead for this appropriation next winter
from a House which, having passed the
ordeal of the fall elections, will no longer
have a sense of responsibility to the peo
ple.
“Colonel Forney, in a dispatch last eve
ning to the Philadelphia Press, explains
the defeat by the argument of economy,
and partly by the refusal to treat the
South with magnanimity in respect to
pensions due the soldiers of the war of
1812, amnesty, etc."
Southern patriots of the extreme school
will do well to notice that the South is
becoming a power again in Washington.
Forney sees it.
President Grant and a Third Term
Direct Trade.
If there be any doubting Thomases as
to the ultimate successful accomplishment
of fbi«, the grandest Southern enter
prise of the nineteenth century, let them
heed the portentions signs which greet
us from those iron clad-carrying-monopo-
lies of the East. Already have they
knocked at the doors of this infant giant,
pleading forjiberal Godfathership. Let our
able Board of Directors guard well our
portals; permit no Judas hps to betray
you with a kiss; “put none but toed
and true men’ on guard in tins, the
momentous hour of discontent, when the
hearts of our teeming Patron hosts are
burning with high hopes and glowing
frith in abundant fruition.—Georgia
Grange.
A few days ago, we published what
purported to be a reliable anecdote of
the President, who being interviewed
by a party of ladies and gentlemen, de
clared that he considered a third term
a species of inflation, and would veto it
accordingly. As the modern interviewer
is, in general, aMuxcHAus3N of the first
order, it need surprise no one to lcam
that, not only is Gen. Grant anxious fora
third term, but that he has already set
his pegs for its accomplishment. Ac
cording to the New York Herald's Wash
ington correspondent, the veto of the
currency bill was a flank movement upon
Morton and Logan. The former is re
ported to be busily engaged in heading
off Capt. Grant as John Minor Butts
once headed off Capt. Tyler. Morton's
little game will be to consolidate the
inflation elements of the South and West
against the President and compel him to
seek for allies solely at the East. The
trouble about this scheme is that the
West is by no means a unit outlie sub
ject of inflating the currency. A majori
ty of the newspapers are against Mortox
on tliis point, and the money power of
that section is concentrated in the hands
of Eastern capitalists in the great cities.
Money has become a prodigious element
of strength in all American elections and
the man who thinks otherwise reckons
without his host. It is further said that
Grant permitted New Hampshire and
Connecticut to go Democratic, in order
to show the Republican party that
whenever he lets go his grip, nothing—
not even burnt brandy—can save it. This
Washington correspondent may not be
any more wedded to truth-telling than
the retailer of anecdotes we have alluded
to ; but it is human nature to hold on to
office as long as possible and Grant, lias
a deal of human nature in his composition.

Woman’s Influence Upon Man.—It is
better for you to pass an evening once
or twice a week in a lady's drawing room,
even through the conversation is slow,
and you know the girl's song by heart,
than in a club, a tavern, or the pit of a
theatre. All amusements of youth to
which virtuous women are not admitted,
rely on it, are deleterious in their nature.
All men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions and are stupid, or have
gross tastes and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggerers, who are
sucking the butts of billiard cues all night,
rmll female society insipid. Poetry is
T^irmpiring to a jockey; beauty has no
for a blind man; music does not
please a poor beast who does not know
one tune from another; but as a pure
epicure is hardly ever tired of water,
sancey, and brown bread and butter; I
protest that I can sit for a whole night
talking to a well-regulated, kindly woman,
about, the girl Fannie, or her boy Frank,
and like the evening’s entertainment
One of the great benefits a man may
derive from a woman’s society, is that he
is-bound to be respectful of her. The
habit is of great good to your moral men,
depend upon it Our education makes
Us the most eminently selfish men in the
world. We fight for ourselves, we push
for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves, we
light our pipes and say we won’t go out
we prefer ourselves and our ease; and
the greatest good that comes to man
from woman’s society is that he has to think
of somebody to whom he is bound to be
attentive and respectful.—

DELIVERED TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1874.
| Abridged from tbd Corstilutiun for the Telegraph
and Messenger, by Messrs. Hill Sc Harris, attorneys
at law, Macon Ga.]
Montgomery & W. P. R. R. Co. vs.
Boring. Case, from Troup.
1- Where one railroad company is the
successor to all the rights and privileges
conferred by the act of incorporation
upon another company, the former is also
subject to all the liabilities imposed by
that act.
2. Negligence is a question of fact for
the jury.
3. The evidence of the plaintiff makes
a clear case of negligence. The defend
ant stopped its train on its track from
half an hour to an hour in the night time
to await the arrival of its other train to
convey its passesgers to their destination,
over an open ditch six or eight feet deep,
at the bottom of which were rocks and
timbers, with no stationary lights, which
ditch was known to defendant’s conduc-
or, but unknown to the plaintiff ‘ when
he stepped out of the car, as he had a
right to do, under the circumstances; he
was precipitated into this pitfall, had his
leg broken and crippled for life.
4. The jury found a verdict for $10,000;
and while this court will always be care
ful to protect the rights of railroad com
panies from unfounded claims, it will not
set aside such a verdict in a case like
this, where, from gross negligence, the
lives and safety of passengers are im
perilled and injury results there from, un
less the verdict be so unreasonable as to
induce the belief that it resulted from pas
sion and prejudice.
Judgment affirmed.
Hazlehurst vs. Freeman. Injunction,
from Bibb.
The Macon and Brunswick Railroad
Company, under its charter and its
amendments, authorizing it to construct
a railroad from the city of Brunswick to
the city of Macon, and clothing it with
the rights, privileges and immunities of
the Central Railroad, is authorized to
construct its road into the city of Macon,
and is not limited, only to the city line,
and a private citizen cannot enjoin it
from appropriating ground for the loca
tion of its track, because of its want of
authority to come within the city lines.
Judgment reversed.
Bonner vs. Martin. Dismissal of relief
motion, from Carroll.
A judgment cannot be opened and re
duced according to the equities between
the parties raider the act of 1868, if, when
it was obtained, the defendant pleaded
the ordinance of 1865, and a verdict of a
jury then fixed the amount due according
to the principles of equity; and it is not
error to dismiss the proceedings on the
ground that these facts appeal* from in
spection of the pleadings.
Judgment affirmed.
Mooland et al vs. the State. Demand
for trial, from Troup.
Where, at the second term, after a de
mand for trial in a criminal case, the case
was called in its order, and the defend
ants failed to appear, and the reognizance
was forfeited, and no new application was
made to the court for trial, and no excuse
given for failure to appeal- at the calling
of the cause, it is too late after the juries
are discharged, to ask for an order dis
charging the defendant, nor does it help
the case that the Judge had announced,
after he had gone through the criminal
docket, that he would not try any more
criminal cases, and that the defendants
counsel had informed the Solicitor Gene
al that they desired their case tried.
The application should have been to
the court, with as excuse for failing to
appear at the calling of the cause.
Judgment affirmed.
Austell vs. McLarem. Injunction, from
Douglass.
Where a suit is brought upon a joint
and several promissory note against par
tics who reside in different counties,
judgment cannot be had against him who
resides out of the county of the location
of the suit before it is taken against the
other co-obliger.
Judgment reversed.—Tel & Mess.
The Gorilla.
Paul Da Chnilla'a Sacccinfal Eacansln
with Oic.
He was about twenty yards off when
we first saw him. We at once gathered
together; and I was about to take aim
and bring him down where he stood,
when Malaouen stopped me saying in a
—hisper, “Not time yet.”
We stood therefore, in silence, gun in
hand. The gorilla looked at us for a
minute or so out of his evil gray eyes,
then beat his breast with his gigantic
arms—and what arms he had!—then he
gave another howl of defiance, and ad
vanced upon us. How horrible he look
ed; I never shall forget it.
Again he stopped, not more than fif
teen yards away. Still Malaouen said
-‘not yet.” Gojjd gracious! what is to
become of us if our guns miss fire, or if
we only wound the huge beast ? Again
the gorilla made an advance upon us.
Now- he was not twelve yards off. I
could see plainly his ferocious face. It
was distorted with rage; and his huge
teeth were ground against each other, so
that w-e could hear the sound; the skin of
his forehead was drawn forward and back
rapidly, which made his hair move up and
down, and gave a truly devilish expres
sion to his hideous face. Once more he
gave out a roar which seemed to shake
the w-oods like thunder; I could really
feel the earth trembling under my feet.
The gorilla, looking ns in the eyes, and
beating his breast, advanced again.
“Don’t fire too soon,’’ said Malaouen:
“if yon do not kill him he will kill yon.”
This time he came within eight yards
of us before he stopped. I w as breathing
fast with excitement as I watched the
huge beast.
Malaouen 6aid only “steady” as the
gorilla came up. Then he stopped. Ma-
laoueu said “now!” and before he could
utter the roar for which he was opening
bis mouth, three musket balls w-ere in
his body. He fell dead almost without a
struggle.
He was a monstrous beast indeed,
though not among the tallest His
height w as five feet six inches. His arms
had a spread of seven feet two inches.
ITis broad, brawny chest measured fifty
inches round. The big toe of his foot
measured five inches and three-quarters
in circumference. His aims seemed like
immense bunches of muscles only, and his
legs and claw-like feet were so well fitted
for grabbing and holding, that I could see
how easy it was for the negroes to believe
that these animals, when they conceal them
selves in trees, and watch for prey, can
seize and pull up with their feet, any liv
ing thing, leopard, or ox, or man, that
passes beneath.
The face of this gorilla was intensely
black. The vast chert, which proved his
great power, was bare, and covered with
parchment-like skin. His body was cov
ered with gray hair. While the animal
approached in its fierce way, walking on
its hind legs, and facing us, as few ani
mals dare freeman, it really seemed to
lie a horrid likeness to man.
of General Colquitt.
We invite attention to the circular,
published elsewhere, of A. H. Colquitt,
President, proposing to take subscription
to the Direct Trade Union in notes, pay
able next Fall in cash or cotton.
Let every brother Patron, who can’t
subscribe cash now, plant a small Direct
Trade cotton patch, one-half acre, one
acre, or two or three acres. Dedicate it
to Direct Trade; call it Direct Trade
patch; nurse it; feed it; give it special
attention, and if it should not yield even
one bale, unite with your brothers till you
do make out a bale. By thus working
you will contribute handsome thousands
to Direct Trade, and bequeath to your
children's children an heritage of inesti
mable value.— Georgia Grange.
‘Justice to the South in Self-Protec
tion to the North ”—Senator Bayard,
of Delaware, in a speech delivered in the
Senate last week on the Louisiana ques
tion, said:
‘By a refusal of the General Govern
ment to act in good faith with the people
of a State, by thrusting upon them a gov
ernment hateful to their feelings and
ruinous to their property, their affeetions
are destroyed and their means of pay
ment of their share of the public burdens
are taken away. I ask in candor how can
the people of the other States of the
Union expect a willing maintenance of
the burdens of the General Government,
payment of its taxes, and a hearty sup
port of its financial honor from a commu
nity whom they have suffered to be
trampled down by fraud and force, and
over whom they have set a sham govern
ment, which exists only to plunder prop
erty instead of protecting it. I wish I
could engrave this sentence where every
man of the rich and populous North could
read it: ‘Justice to the South is self
protection to the North.’ Ours is a
voluntary government; it is framed and
based upon the idea that the people can
and will govern themselves. If the will
of the people be wanting, the form of gov
emment will soon fade away. If the
government is to be strong and continue
to exist, it will be because the hearts of
the American people strongly desire ic;
and if they lose their love for it or lose
their faith in it it must soon go to pieces.”
How could you make a thin child fat?
By throwing it out of a window—it would
