March lStii, 1534 . 36 ly The Constitution of the 13th, con tains a statement by State Treasurer, Hardeman, in reference to the finan cial condition of the State of Georgia. We copy the following. He is allud ing to an opinion which had been expressed by Capt. Purse of Savan nah. "We merely copy this much of State Treasurer Hardeman’s views as to the financial condition of the State; “I say he is wrong, because the constitution of ’77 provides fora sink ing fund after ’86.” “So the State will have no trouble?” “None that I can see. Now this is the way it stands: Iu 1873 the Nut ting bonds were created. The law authorizing these bonds provided that $100,000 should be raised annu ally by taxation for the purpose of retiring them. This $100,000 was to be raised every year until 1886, when the last of the bonds fell due. Now that $100,000 a year might have been called a sinking fund. In '77 the con stitution was adopted. One section provides that after ’86, $100,ooo shail be raised by taxation as a sinking fund to meot the State debt. The clause provides for the sinking fund after ’86 not before. This was done because the Nutting bond act pro vided $100,000 a year until ’86 to meet those bonds. The act of December, 24, ’84, did not provide for a sinking fund, because the constitution pro vides for one after ’86. The bonds to be issued by that act of ’86 will be provided for by the constitution. This act provides for bonds amount ing to $3,455,135, and it will require that amount to retire the debt of '85 and ’86. In ’85 the state will have to pay $109,035. Eighteen thousand and thirty-five dollars of this are the four per cent or baby bonds, while $91,- 000 are Nutting eight per cent bonds. The debts falling due in ’86 amount to $3,346,100; $99,000 are Nutting bonds, and the other railroad bonds, and other debts. Now I do know that a bill has already been prepared and will be introduced at the next session of the Legislature in July providing for a fund after ’86.” One of the toasts drunk at a celebration was: “Woman! She requires no eulogy— she speaks for herself. The crowds increase. Visitors are pleased to find that rates have not increased. Money is freely spent for many articles held for sale. There is a great influx of Mardi Gras visi tors. New Orleans never saw such a time before, and the stream of visi tors grows larger and larger. It is conceded there will be room for all. The National Cotton Planters’ Asso ciation held its fourth day’s session on the 13th, in the main building of the Exposition. The meeting was solely occupied by the address of Captain Bedford Pinn, of the British Navy, late of the British Parliament, on the subject of live stock and ranches of the United States. In the course of his address he said he was convinced that a first class har bor might be constructed at Galves ton, Texas, in the course of a year from the commencement of the work, by running a railroad on screw piles out to a depth of 30 feet of water, and protecting it from heavy weather by a floating break water of peculiar shape. “The National farmers’ congress, at their session to-day, adopted the following, prepared by the commit tee appointed to memorialize con gress : The Farmers’ congress, in called session, in the city of New Orleans, feel it our duty to do all in our power to elevate and ennoble our calling. We recognize as a first step toward this desirable end, the imperative necessity of full recogni tion and equal representation at the national capital and in the nation’s council. This we cannot have, while we are not recognized as a co-ordi nate branch of the general govern ment and represented among the president’s advisers. Having- long borne the chief burden of taxation, we feel that we have been denied our just rights, and now ask that we be no longer ignored. We, therefore, most respectfully and urgently press upon our senators the importance of immediate action during the present session upon the bill now before them, having passed the house by so handsome a majority, providing for a department of agriculture and mak ing the head of that department a cabinet officer. We are confident that such action on their part will meet with the hearty approval of all classes of our people and receive the enthusiastic endorsement of the great masses who till the soil and fur nish the sinews of war for the me chanical and commercial world. We, therefore, request that a hearing be granted the committee who will bear this message from us and iu person present it to your honorable body. A committee was appointed to proceed to Washington, to convey resolutions. A resolution was also adopted rela tive to the Blair bill, regretting the probable adjournment of Congress before final action is taken on it.” We copy this from the New Orleans telegraphic dispatches, of the 13th, to the Augusta Chronicle. Washington Letter, THE FOOL. Robert Burdette. Women Honest, True, and Good. We take great pleasure in publish ing the following, which we find in the Louisville Courier-Journal: “There are forty women acting as cashiers of banks in Dakota. Not one of them has ever speculated, been short in her accounts, or mani fested the slightest hankering for the bracing atmosphere of Canada. Here we have forty examples of wo men exposed to temptation and not a single one forfeited her integrity. Of man it cannot be said, but of woman it can be said with truth, she was made a little lower than the angels. Some of them are angels in human form.” The above is a remarkable testimony to her worth and virtues. Out of a hundred so situated, there might be one who would yield to temptation, out of a hundred men perhaps twenty. The history of wo men, in places of trust, and honor snows a brilliant record of fidelity; in man many dark exceptions. This can only be accounted for in the su periority of their angelic attributes. We have no reason to say this but from observations of a long life ex tended beyond the scripture limit. Conversions in Ohio.

We hope the good work will go on in Ohio, that many more wiil be for given and escape the punishment due to bulldosing, double voting, anu other sins committed in this world. The door is open wide for repentant sinners. Let them fall into line as they can to escape the punishment due to unrepentant sinners.

Within my sanctum snug I sit, ^ And watch the world go round aud round; My ink is dry, my pen is split, M> paste and scissors can’t be found. Washington, Feb. 16th, 1885. Congress tor the past week has been the font bail of obstructive dilatory and mis chievous cranks. Appropriation bills and other important if not indispensable leg islation have been delayed and an extra session seems very probable. Well, who cares? Let an extra session be called. A member of Congress is paid $5,000 a year and whether he legislates in Washington or vegetates in his rural home, he draws his pay all the same. We pay Congress to make laws. It is desperately difficult to keep them down to their work. They are wretched shirks; they seldom pull togeth er except on a motion to adjourn, but since they are paid so much per year let their alleged work be continuous through out the year. It would be better to pay them by the dav and only when they are in their seats. When a member falls to answer to his name on roll call dock his wages. If he is tardy, require him to bring a written excuse from his wife. If these wholesome rules were enforced there would be less absenteeism, less skipping around the corner, less solitary aud infor mal adjournment to the restaurants in the basement of the Capitol. The fact is, that the people are too easy and lenient with those who, with vaunting hypocrisy, call themselves “public servants.” These dep utized legislative employes, tojspeak it mildly, are many.of them bummers and loafers, interested chiefly in their private ambitions and pleasures, and utterly in different to, or ignorant of, the needs of the great interests which they are sent to represent. Congress is not up with the times. It is not at ail progressive. So lar as I know parliamentary methods and procedure are not much better now tiian when Rome was a Republic 2,000 years ago. A plan has been devised to call the roll by electricity, and thus register in stantaneously the vote of every member, but the old and tedious plan of calling the ayes and nays is still followed, consuming a great portion of the session. An extra session will probably be called early iu April. It is said that the Demo crats desire to avoid an extra session on political grounds, but apprehensions are perhaps exaggerated, and it is time legis lators should rise above mere party ex pediency and do their duty without fear. In the end this would prove to be the broadest and highest expediency. It will be remembered that eight years ago the petty Michigan accident who oc cupied the Vice President’s seat in the Senate, assumed that he was the proper person to declare who was the President of the United States. Worked by Zach Chandler, John Sherman, Morton, and oth er desperate conspirators, this puppet had much to do in making the ueplorablomake shift of the electoral commission possible. I will mention that his name was Ferry, for perhaps the reader has forgotten his name, as has the world tiis existence. Sen ator Edmunds, the Vice President’s recent much discussed announcement of the “ap pearance” of the returns is a political de nial of the authority claimed by all repub licans, Mr. Edmunds among them. Then, in 187G Mr. Edmunds was ready, by any means, as he afterwards showed, when a member of the court which made Hayes President, to perpetuate the rule of his party. This man is a profound and able lawyer, but he is as conscienceless and as cunning as James G. Blaine. It. looks now as if Mr. Thurman will be a member of the Cabinet or r.»o m i Cleveland. He is earnestly urged by in fluential Democrats throughout the coun try. Senator Pei dleton does not want a Cabinet portfolio, but asks that Mr. Thur man may be appointed. The objection has been made that he is too old, but he is younger than Gladstone, Bismarck, or Moltke. lie is ablest among the able. No man is better equipped for the portfolios ol State, Finance, Justice, or the Interior. It is no disparagement of others to say that he is the most profound lawyer that has been in public life since the war; he is thoroughly posted iu home and foreign questions. While a member of the Senate he exercised without arrogance, and through a voluntary recognition of his superiority, the functions of leader and counselor to the Democratic side. There wore able Democratic Senators around him, there were Lamar, Beck, Vest, McDonald, Pendleton, Vorhees, Hill, Morgan and oth ers who might have led, had they not with one accord trusted to the learning, the wisdom, the eloquence and the patriotism of “the grand old man.” Ah ! joy is me, my work i9 dropped, For who can work without his tools? True, as you say, my pay is stopped. But money is'not good for fools. So foolish here I sit and dream. Within my sanctum's scanty bound; I touch no pen to thought or theme. But watch the world go round and round. With sweat and struggle, toil and pain. From dawn of day to set of sun. With iustof power and greed of gain. With battles lost and victories Won.

One snowy winter night an English funner named Robin Cartwright, sitting with his wife before his blazing lire of oak- wood, fancied that he heard the faint bleating of si sheep outside his door, and anxious for his dock, took his lantern, and went out to look for the poor creature. No sheep was there, however, but, instead, close against the door-jam, a basket, lined with wool anti covered with a blanket, in which lay a very young child. There were footsteps in the snow which led up to the door, and other steps which led away from it. Holding his lantern low, the farmer followed these until they ceased abruptly beside the mar gin of the river which lay at the foot of his land. Lifting his lantern over his head, the good man shouted aloud half a dozen times. “Hullo!” he cried—“hullo!” But the deep silence of the winter night alone answered him. As he stood listening in vain, a shudder ran through his stout frame. His imagination pictured a young woman, trembling, un happy, shame stricken, who, having laid her infant at his door, had .sped away towards this dark water to hide her woes within its bosom. “Friends here!” he shouted again—“dear friends here!—only friends!” But again he heard no sound ; and after searching the banks carefully, ho returned to his cot tage. His wife, meanwhile, had tak en the child to the tire, and cared for it kindly. It was a pretty lit tle boy, dressed in good and com fortable garments, and fastened about its neck by a cord w r as one- half of a very peculiar silver clasp or buckle. It seemed evident that the clasp was intended to he a token, bv which the infant’s identity might one day be proven, and the farm er’s wife put it away carefully. Inquiries were made in the neighborhood, but they led to no discoveries, and the Cartwrights kept the child, though they did not deem it wise to adopt him as their own. He was kindly cared for, but brought up as a servant. Ho had been chri. tened Roger, and knew no other name. As soon as he was old enough he was put to out-door work, and though taught to read aud write, was otherwise on a par with his fellow-laborers. He had never seen any place more elegant than the farmhouse parlor, nor any dress more costly than that his mistress wore to church on Sun day. Yet his dreams, which he was foud of telling, were all of magnificence and splendor. Often in his. sleep he found himself in an elegant room, fur nished in yellow satin. There were old portraits on the walls, and beautiful ornaments every where. Here he always saw a lady dressed in black, but wear ing diamonds, who was very beau tiful, and who often wept; and a gentleman who wore something on his breast, as he explained to Mrs. Cartwright, “like your best breastpin, but more sparkling,” thus describing an Order, as it seemed. He appeared always to be himself invisible; and once a man iu livery, who had only one eye, seemed to walk straight through him without knowing it. Mrs. Cartwright always believ ed that these dreams “meant something,” but her husband laughed at the matter. “Poor Roger is no nobleman’s child,” he used to say. “No doubt bis mother drowned herself the night she left him here, poor soul!” So the boy’s sixteenth birthday came, and on it he dreamed this dream :— He .thought he was iu London, and stood before a row of rough stone houses, which were plainly very old. Across the front were some raised letters, quaint and queer enough to puzzle him; but he made out the words, “Lady Armytage.” Before him was one of the low doors with the number ten on it, and at it stood an old woman with a black silk cap on her head, and a little black shawl over the shoulders of her purple calico gown. She held something in her hand, and showed it to him. It was a piece of a silver buckle. “Bring me the other half,” she said, “and I’ll tell you a tale that will please you.” Then the lad awoke determined to go to London. He was so ex cited by the dream that he could scarcely wait until morning to tell it to his mistress, who, on hear ing it, at once brought out the sil ver half-buckle that she had kept ever since he had been left at her door, and vowed that she would go to London with him to see what came of this strange dream. Together the woman and bow made the journey, and, after ma lodged in these buildings—the funds for the purpose having been bequeathed by a certain pious Lady Armytage, long dead. To this row of buildings the two country folks made their way, and the boy cried out with some thing very iike terror when he saw the houses of his dream, aud on one low door the number ten, that he had read in those very white letters. He knocked at it with a trembling band, and an old woman in a black silk cap, purple gown, and a little black shawl opened it at once. She made a courtesy, and said:— “What can I do for you, rna’- hall street crossing. A Kentucky editor reports that during the past five years he has recorded 1,340 murders and hom icides in that State, and there have been less than 20 executions. Gov.

Cox, of North Carolina, who led the last Confederate charge at Appomattox, bears the scars of 11 serious wounds. Malarial Poison. And the boy staggered back against the door-post, too faint to speak; but Mrs. Cartwright walked bravely into the poor lit tle apartment. ‘Dame,” she said, “we’ve come a long way to ask you a little question, have you the other half of a bit of buckle like this ?” The old woman looked at her a moment and answered:— ‘I have, ma’am, and a parcel too; for one that shows it to me. Sit down, and I’ll tell you about it.” Mrs. Cartwright seated herself; the boy drew near. The old woman went to a chest, which stood in a recess, unlocked it, and took thence a parcel, well tied up. ‘There’s two of us in this home always, ma’am,” she said. “The last one died here. She was an old nurse-woman: Hannah Glegg she called herself, and in her last illness she was greatly put about by something that was on her conscience. Before she died she gave me a card; with a name and i place on it, and this parcel. When I’m dead’ she said, ‘not before, write to that place, and say, If you want the other half of that buckle, come to me. When any one comes, if they show the half of a silver buckle, give them this parcel.’ “It’s all she said, ma’am. She died very soon. Of course I was upset, and wheu all was over, I found that though I had the par cel safe, I had not the card; that was gone. I’ve been thinking to go to the clergyman, and sh(*v the parcel to him, for it’s full of writing, aud there’s a bit of a buckle in it, too. But it seems some one must have told you about it. I think it’s yours by right, and I should give it over. The farmer’s wife was wise enough to keep her own counsel. She gave a gift to the old woman that made her feel herself paid for any trouble she had had, and took the parcel away with her. At the hotel where they stopped for the night two anxious travel ers read the paper it contained. It was to this effect:— ‘I, Martha Gray, who have been living iu the city of London for ten years or more, under the name of Hannah Glegg,. do hereby swear and affirm that sixteen years ago being then employed as nurse for my Lady Marlowe of Marlowe Hall, shire, I was desirous of punishing Lord Mar lowe for trifling with the affec tions of my niece, Kate Gray, who died, as I know, of a broken heart because of liis lordship’s fickleness—for he had no mind to marry a poor, ignorant girl, but only to make love to her; and be ing nurse to Lady Marlowe, I contrived to steal the child and leave the place with it unseen; and taking a boat, I rowed with my own hands, stopped near the house of one Robin Cartwright, farmer, and laid the child at his door, and then departed as I came, knowing well that it would be believed that the mother who had left her child had drowned herself. Since this I have chang ed my name, and lived unsuspect ed ; but, being in dread of death, I now make, confession, lest I be punished for the deed in the world to which I am going. The half of the buckle which is in this parcel will mate that which I hung about the child s neck, and my lady Marlowe will know it well, since it’s a family heirloom. “This statement I swear is true; I make it on my death-bed. “Martha Gray. The drouth in Southwest Georgia last s-pring dried up the wells, aDd we were compelled to use water from the creek on the plantation. The result was that ail were troubled with chills amt fever. I car ried with me several bottles of Swift’s Specific, and as long as I took it, I had perfect health, As soon as I ceased taking it, I, like the rest, was afflicted with chills. When I resumed its use, I was all right again. We have used It in our family as an antidote for malaria poison fur two or three years, and have never known it to fail tn a single instance. W. C.

Some two years ago I received a boy (Lona White) Into the Orphan’s Homo, near Macon, from Columbus. He was one of the poorest creatures I : have’ ever seen— nothing but skin and bone— crippled and deformed by Scrofula, which had attend- ed him from Ills birth. About eighteen months ago I commenced giving him Swift’s Specific. After several bottles had been taken and no visible results to be seen, I began to despair, but continued the medicine. At last signs of improvement became apparent, and from that date to the prosent there has been constant im provement in both body'and mind. He is now about fourteen years old, and Is one of the brightest boys I have ever known. I honestly believe that he will ultimately outgrow the effects of this loathsome dis ease under th - influence of Swift's Specific. The two cases ot erysipelas which were treated some two years ago with S. S. S. show no symptoms of return of the dis ease. L. B. Payne Sup’t,. Orphans’ Home, So. Ga. Conf. Macon, Ga., Nov. 1, 1884.

They found Marlowe Hail eas ily, and on entering it the boy s visions again came into the storj, for the one-eyed footman opened the door for them. All was famil iar to the young fellow. The stair way, the passages, the yellow satin drawing-room—he had seen them all in his dream. And this, in fact, was actually the case, the griaf which the Mar- lowes had suffered for years on account of the strange disappear ance of their child being well known by all the country. The letter and clasp proved his identi ty, and the servant boy became the heir to a fortune and a title, and found parental love and ten derness at last. The story was not universally known, but it is carefully recorded in the private diary of Dennis Archer, then vi car of Marlowe Church, who avers his belief in its truth.
