than the value of the last crop; wheat
$357,000,000; oats $180,000,000. The

A number of the saloon keepers of
Atlanta are arranging to leave in July.
They have virtually given up the
fight. Philadelphia and Brooklyn,
N. Y., are the favorite objective
points. Several saloonists, whose
license expires on January 1, have
decided not to renew them,' and will
suspend business.
There is_a vast degree of oppogRiQ©
the Irish, and It seems to be doubtful
how it will turn out. The only hope
as far as we can see is a close and
faithful Union of the friends of Par
nell and Gladstone. We cannot make
room for the various speculations
which come to us in the long and te
dious foreign reports.
A new school house has been built
on Telfair street in Augusta, for all
the children in that part of the city.
It has six large rooms and is a very
handsome building. Mr. A. M. Mc-
Murphy is the skillful and accomplish
ed architect who designed it, and Mr.
James H. Green was the builder. It
Is expected that 300 children will be
present at the ringing of the bell, to
be accommodated at this handsome
building.
An accidental fire which occurred in
the cotton ware house of J. Sewart &
Son, on lower Mulberry street, Macon,
on the 31st Dec'r., resulted in a loss of
about $45,000 or $50,000. A number
of bales of cotton were saved in a
damaged condition. The warehouse
and cotton was covered by insurance
The fire, it is believed, originated,
from a spark from a chimney which
fell through the broken glass of a sky
light.
Visiting the President.—The
East room was filled up on the 80th.
The President must have displayed ex
traordinary tact in meeting and ex
tending courtesies to the hundreds of
visitors who had assembled to pay
him their respects. There were more
than five Jaundred persons present
when the President made his appear
ance at 2 o clock and he entered upon
his task with such expedition that
the entire room was cleared in 16 min
utes.
Mr. Gladstone it is stated, will await
the conservative local government
scheme before revealing his own. The
news comes by an English authority
that “the Government will resist to
its utmost ability, any scheme giving
an Irish Parliament the control of the
police force in Ireland.’’ It is stated
that the present ministry proposes to
draft measures for local Government
for the whole kingdom. Parnell
wants local self-government for Ire
land. A Parliament for Ireland with
out local self-government including
the police would be a mere sham.
Parnell wants Ireland to have the
same rights in the kingdom that Geor
gia or any other state has in the Uni
ted States. Without that his struggle
will be a comparatively vain and
empty one. Ireland, with a Parlia
ment without the control of her police
force, would be like a giant clothed
in gaudy trappings but fettered be
neath with chains.
The silver coinage question is dis
cussed a good deal in Augusta. It
would appear that the opponents of
the continued coinage of that metal
are in the majority. We have inclin
ed to the opinion that it would be
best to continue it. The Augusta
Chronicle and other papers, publish a
great deal on both sides. Were it
certain that the supply of gold would
be sufficient for business men, and all
classes of the people, it might be well
enough to try suspension for a while.
We will add, if in doing so there is no
violation of existing laws of the coun
try. There was a law which lias nev
er been repealed, that all duties on
imported goods should be paid in coin.
That law for, a long time has not been
enforced; had it been, there would
have been a great demand for silver.
The law made no difference between
silver and gold coin. We merely refer
to this, but ut the same time we ad
mit that we have not closely looked
into this matter, and will merely add
"L that for a longtime the law has
not been complied with. Why? What
ri.dit lmd our rulers to refuse to abide
bv a plain law, unrepealed, which still
,-vists on the statute book. This is
something worthy of being inquired
KT If the law had been enforced it
Probable we would not have had so
much°trouble about this question of
silver coinage
Thousands of persons have read with
much interest Samuel Rogers delight
ful work on the pleasures of memory,
and yet many of them would he Imp-
pier if they had no memories at all.
They would be happier without them.
We might put it to any man who is
not a saint, and was not Dorn one, to
say whether memory is not a source
of uneasiness in some respects rath
er than a source of happiness, and
will suppose too that lie has not been
guilty of any of those great crimes
such as murder, robbery, and bearing
false witness against his neighbor.
Of course whether such crimes w£re
found out or not; such a character
can have no peace of mind and lives
in the constant fear of final punish
ment, besides the lacerations of mind
which attend the constant thought
of crimes so horrible and degrading.
In the course of life one may have
betrayed a friend, or left him to suf
fering which he could have prevent
ed without serious injury to himself.
He may have mistreated a father or
mother, a brother or sister, or a
good woman who reposed confidence
in his integrity and honor.
Without possessingthe darker low
ers and propensities of Satan, then-
are vioes and follies of some people
who are malicious and others even
malignant, who delight to give pain,
and insult their fellows rather than
to torturo them. Much of their con
duct may consist of a playful malice,
from which they derive a personal
gratification. We might describe
other traits equally sinful, but wo
have enough in reference to this
class of persons to accomplish the
main object we have in view. It is
Impossible for such persons to enjoy
the pleasures of memory, for iu the
mass, they constitute the light in
fantry of the “evil one,” and are
banished even in their own minds
from the ranks of the good and true.
There is another class who have
been the victims of accident and
circumstances beyond their control
by which they were reduced from
wealth to poverty. Such was the
case with millions in the South,
caused by our late unfortunate war.
Besides the loss of property, fathers
and sons fell in untimely and bloody
graves, and millions exist who bitter
ly experience the pains and not the
pleasures of memory. But this lat
ter was an extraordinary case, blight
ing the mind and heart with terrific
phantom-wings, painted with war f
pestilence and destruction of homes,
property, and life. In the ordinary
progress of human events while the
pleasures of memory can be experi
enced by a large proportion of the
people, they are denied to a large
majority. In teaching the young it
is a matter of importance to impress
upon them how their happiness may
be ship-wrecked by failing to obey in
all things the admonitions of moral
goodness, as opposed to vice and
crime. We are all human and must
die sooner or later, but death cannot
deprive us of pleasant memories of
the loved who are at rest in their
graves.
Senator Hampton, a few days since,
introduced a bill making it unlawful
for Senators or Representatives in
Congress to recommend, or to solicit
appoitments to office. We quote as
follows from his bill:
Whereas, Additional legislation is
necessary to carry out the intention
of the 10th section of the act of Con
gress of the 16th of June, 1883, entitled
An act to regulate and improve the
civil service of the United States: and,
Whereas, The recommending or so
liciting of appointments to offices by
Senators and RepresenRitJFSa.ui' 1 dJOi
£6cfIo'n, but also interferes seriously
with the performance of their legisla
tive duties;
Now, therefore, be it enacted, etc.,
That it shall be a misdemeanor for
any Senator or Representative of the
Congress of the United States to re
commend or solicit, directly or indi
rectly, the appointment of any per
son to an office under the Govern
ment of the United States, and t hat
any such Senator or Representative
who shall be convicted of making
such recommendation or solicitation
shall be punished by a fine of not
more than $1 ,000 and not less than
$500, one half of which shall go to the
persons upon whose testimony such
conviction shall have been obtained,'
and the other half to the United
States.
In other portions of the bill it is
stated that nothing in it is to prevent
the appointing power from asking
for information of Senators and Repre
sentatives as to the character and
qualifications of applicants for office,
which must be given in writing, nor
shall Senators or Representatives be
forbidden to forward to the appoint
ing power applications for office, but
shall not In any case endorse the ap
plication. Now we wholly and utter
ly condemn the spirit of this bill of
Senator Hampton and especially that |
part of it which w ould inflict a tine
of $1,000 and not less than $500 upon
the Senator or Representative, who
should endorse an applicant for office.
There is a politioal bigotry and fa
naticism in the propositions of this
bill that is not only repugnant to
civil liberty and social rights, but sub
versive of the public interests. Who
is better qualified to judge of the ca
pacity of a man to fill a public office,
than one who by his capacity and de
votion to the people and their rights
has been selected to fill the high po
sition of a representative or senator
in the United States Congress? In
stead of eoudemning such a man for a
recommendation of another for office,
and imposing a fine of a thousand
dollars upon him for doing so. it
should be considered fortunate that
in him the Government would find
one capable of estimating the character
of an applicant and advising his ap
pointment. This bill is a gross reflec
tion upon our Senators and Repre
sentatives. Is it an insult to the
President for him to do so? and what
evil could grow out of it, as his recom
mendatioo has no force in it to install
the man in office, if it should be found
he was not trustworthy or capable?
The passage of such a bill would be a
reflection upon the whole body of our
Senators and Representatives. Sen
ator Hampton’s bill surprises us. We
could express our views of his bill in
stronger terms, but refrain from doing
so hi eouseqnence of the very high re
spect we entertain for Senator Hamp
ton, and our admiration of his char
acter as a hero and statesman.
It was reported yesterday t hat a
committee from the police commis
sion waited upon Chief Christian re
questing him to withdraw his resig
nation, which he consented to do.
We are glad to record this from the
Augusta Chronicle of the 31st. The
Chief looks like he could render at
least ten more years of service. He
Is straight as an arrow, walks firmly,
and mounts his horse like a young
trooi>er. The commission and the
people know too well his value to let
nim slide off into retirement yet.
Business TJfiion"Meeting.
The Business Union of this city held
city't
!e<l Bn
ing oil the evening of Monday, ;28th
tilt, at the office of the clerk of the
Superior Court. There w r as much in
ternet manifested by its members in'-
matters relating to the business pros
perity of this community. Among
other things it was determined to
have a number of circulars printed for
circulation, containing information
concerning the capabilities and advan
tages of this citv and its vicinity for
Council Proceedings.
Council Chamber, >
Dec. 31st. 1885.)'
Led Meeting.
[esont His Honor, F. Walker, May
or—Aldermen Harris, Case. Whilden,
Chirr, Bemaild Hendrix.
The object of the meeting was to
take into consideration the colored
school question. &c.. Various peti
tions from the colored citizens in re
gard to establishing a branch school
at the A- M. E. Church, was read.
On motion AM. Carr. Resolved,
of dig*™nt k »«**■} Til.-!i the m «rf five hundred dollars
be appropriated for the colored school
for 18^6. Adopted.
On motion. Aid. Whilden, Resolved,
That the Eddy School House be des
ignated as the colored school house
for 1886. Adopted.
O. L. Chatters was elected as Prin
cipal, Madeline Phillips, 1st Assistant
and Anna Jackson, 2d Assistant in
said school for 1886.
On motion, Resolved, That the
Principal be paid thirty dollars per
month, 1st Assistant twenty-five not
larsper month, 2d Assistant twenty
dollars per month, and at the end of
the year should there be any of the
including our fine water power, &c.
Different members addressed the meet
ing and Mr. Sol Barrett in a stirring
speech urged the immediate organiza
tion of a company to build a cotton
seed oil mill here, offering to subscribe
$1,000 and saying he was authorized
by a relative of his in Charleston to
say he would subscribe a similar
mount. He gave interesting informa
tion concerning a similar enterprise
in Charleston, as a money making
concern. The suggestion was warmly
received and several other members
agreed to take stock in it.
Altogether, the spirit manifested
was most encouraging and if much,
for the business interest* of our city,
does not grow out of this organization
of our public spirited citizens, we
shall be very much mistaken and dis
appointed.
The Hendricks' Monument.
Mr. Cleveland has written a letter
to Hon. 1). W. Voorhees expressing
much satisfaction at the purpose to
erect a monument in honor of Mr.
Hendricks, and adding, “at the proper
time I hope I may be allowed to aid
in the undertaking.
Mr. Voorhees sent the following
graceful reply to the President:
* Mr. President: I have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
highly esteemed favor of yesterday
on behalf of the immediate personal
friends of the late Vice President, and
of the great body of the people of In
diana. I feel authorized to tender
you their very grateful and sincere
thanks for your kindly and timely
interest in the movement—so honora
ble to liis memory and so.well earned
by his public services and his private
virtues.
Permit me to assure you that no
act on your part, in the midst of your
incessant labors for the public good,
will be longer cherished or more high
ly prized by the people of his State,
than your sympathy in their efforts to
_erect a monument to his fame.
With the highest respect and warm
est personal regard, I am faithfully
yours, W. 1). VOORHEES.
The British have obtained under
Gen. Stephenson a great victory over
the Arabs or rebels as they are term
ed in the accounts of the battle. The
battle lasted three hours and the Ar
abs fought with great bravery and
desperation. They had in their force
of 7,000 men 1,100 riflemen, six guns
and plenty of ammunition. Five
emirs, who are persons of high rank
among the Arabs and doubtless pos
sessed high positions in the army, were
killed. Up to "this time of writing
there is no report of the general loss
on either side. It must have been
very great on the part of the Arabs,
for some of them fought under protec
tion and 20 of them were found killed
in one house. Abd El Kader Pasha,
says, with the use of plenty of money,
the British could detach the soldiers-
who are now the backbone of the re
bellion. When asked what sum
would be required he said “perhaps
two millions of pounds,*’ buthe added,
“this policy would be the cheapest in
the long run.”
IN SHORT METRE.
The Boston Post having said that
“every month $2,000,000 of gold in the
public treasury is paid out for $2,000,
000 of silver to lie idle in the public
treasury,” the San Francisco Call
pungen'tly retorts; “When the editor
of a leading Boston journal makes
such blunders as this there should be
no surprise at the ignorance the
Eastern people generally display in
the discussion of the silver question.
In this benighted portion of the coun
try everybody knows that the Govern
ment buys sijyi&kRl&Dnptfotil!" there
may lie in the coining of silver bullion
into dollars is made by the Govern
ment. But why to lie idle in the pub
lic 1 treasury? There is not a silver
dollar in the public treasury which
may not be honorably paid out in the
discharge of any obligation of the
United States. If the silver dollars
lie idle in the public treasury it is
because the Treasury Department has
set up the gold standard in defiance
of law. Hut the gold men say that
the silver dollar is not an honest dol
lar. The facts are, however, that the
silver dollar is the only dollar which
is the same now as in 1792, and has
never been changed. The dollar of
our fathers is ninety-three years old,
and is precisely the same as ever.- The
gold dollar has been changed in
weight from time, but the silver is the
same, one age with another. If there
is any dishonest money around it is
gold. Through the appreciation of
tiiis metal caused by legislation un
friendly to silver, the value of debts
has been increased.”
“Let me write the ballads of a na
tion," said a wise man, “and I care
not who makes its laws.” This is
true, and it may also be said that the
discovery of St. Jacobs Oil,—the con
queror of pain, has been of more val
ue to the world than the finding of a
comet.
The Labeling of Morphine.
(hi account, of the frequent mistakes
which have been made by drug clerks
in the patting up of morphine, some
of which have proven most disastrous,
the recent Legislature of Georgia pas
sed a law prescribing the manner of
selling the sulphate and other pre
parations of morphine in this State.
As of interest to those who deal in or
puphase the drug, we copy the follow
ing from the act: “That on and after
the first day of January, 1886. it shall
not be lawful for any druggist or
other dealer in drugs anil medicines to
sell or offer for sale any sulphate or
other prepafations of morphine in
any bottle, vial, envelope or other
packages, unless the same shall be
wrapped in scarlet paper or envelope,
and all bottles and vials, used for the
above purpose, shall have in addition
to said scarlet wrapper a scarlet
label, lettered in white letters, plainly
naming the contents of said bottle."
Any one violating the above will be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction, will be fined not less than
$10 nor more than $50.

The following was read,
G. D. Case, Ch'rm. Fin. Com :
Dear sir—Replying to your enquiry
relative to compilations of the stat
utes and ordinances for the govern
ment of the city, I wish to say,
1st, If it is desired merely to patch
the old compilation so as to incorpo
rate statutes and ordinances later
than 1876, then the job will be worth
about thirty dollars.
2nd, If a'thorough and systematic
codification, including all the statutes
that should be included and excluding
those that ought not to be included,
annotating and providing analytioai
indexes, I would engage to do it by
the last of March for $100.00.
Whether I do it or another, there is
great need that the police regulations
under which we live should be made
accessible tc the authorities and the
governed by a well-ordered code, the
sale of which would perhaps pay .its
cost within a year or two. Such a
course would probably bring greater
stability to our laws and ordinances.
