of tho measure contend that it will accom

Athens, Jaoaary 29, 1873.
To-day, a‘ 1 o’clock p. m., a fine an di
ene- assembled in the Chancellor’s Hall
of the University of Georgia to bear the
Inaugural Address of Dr. E. M. Pendle
ton, the new Prolessor of Agriculture.
It was an occasion of marked interest,
a significant one, too, as showing the pro
gress and growing power of the venerable
Univertity, and its wise adaptation to the
great wants of Georgia. The hall was
crowded—Trustees, Faculty, citizens and
stadents meeting to hear the new Pro
fessor, and honor his entrance on what
all regard as a good and nobl * work for
the State.
The exercises began with the following
hymn, composed for the occaaion. The
music of the choir was admirable, and
added much interest to the hour:
Thou his s t all the borders of thu earth; thou
hast rnado summer and winter—Psalm 74—17.
L
God of the varied Year,
Each season channts thy praise,
Ono voice iu every sphere.
One heart—to Thee, they raiss;
For they—like Thee—are one,
1 hey know no name but Thine;
Like light la stars and sun,
Tirruugh tht m Thy glories shine.
n.
Christ’s prayer for daily bread,
They evermore fulfill;
All earthly ble-isings shed
Glad tokens of Hi* will;
Ye: other truths they teach
Of struggle and of strife;
How summer, winter, each
Doth make tho spirit’s l:fe.
Thine, Lord, the snowy height,
Where winter chilli the *ky.
Thine, too, the glacier’s might
‘Neath which, lakes hidden lie,
Whence issuing rivers 11 >w
Through tropic field and plain.
Where summer’s harvests glow
Iu wine and golden grain
Seasons before Thee stand,
Waiting thy word to hear;
Girt, like an Ang«l*Band,
For thee, they rale the Year;
Thus, may we serve Thy name,
Thus, bring Thee all our days;
Returning whence they came.
Hies; tribute* to Thy praise
Then followed a most appropriate and
earnest prayer by the Rev. C. W. Lane
of the Presbyterian Church. After this
the annexed original hymn was sung:
• liut the earth hath given to tho children of
men.’*—Psalm 116—16.
••Have d mmion over the fish of tho eea anijove-
tbe fowl of the air, and over all the earth.—
Genesis i—28
Hail God’s decret! Adorn the earth.
Relight with joy its laded face;
And here, where Kden had Its birth,
Build palace fit for Christ’s own race;
A royal race that bear* His name,
.shunId make Earth’s footstool ilke His Throns,
BaMPh each trace of woe and shame.
Till Christ’s own image shine alone.
xi.
Snbdae it to thy sceptred arm. *
J ill winds snd waters, thee obey;
Aint truer lyre than Orpheus’, charm
All fields and forests t.o thy sway:
Then—through thy Lord—repeat the bread
Which ministers tc sorrow’s need;
Bound lowly home* thy bounty shed
In miracles of word and deed
in.
There’s not a flower that scents the air,
Nor mossy tnft. nor purpling vine.
Which doe* not ho*d his i*iag.* fair.
And with his Monarch’s glory shine;
Nay more; how sweet the love and trust
That here, a touching Go.ipel breathe;
Where weary hearts—trail a* their dust,
Christ's emblems find, Christ’s Cross to
wreathe.
Go, watch the Victor on the Sea!
The sky lies clasped in all its waves,
While rolling night in billows free
With starry beams, his footsteps lavei;
Earth’s onrse is cursed! Its work is done;
Thorn* crown our Christ! Blood seals their
.do'im;
For ns that triumph has been won—
For u- shall Eden once more bloom.
Dr. Pendleton was then introduced by
Chancellor Lipsoomb, and was warmly
greeted by ihe audience. The Doctor
read an address, which occupied nearly
au hour, aud was heard w.th close and
thoughtful attention. It was a calm,
wel'-- , Oiiside:ed and most earnest appeal
in behalf cl agriculture, both as a science
an 1 an art—lacking nothing as to force,
breadth and completeness iu an in
augural. As it will probably ba pub
lished, I shall not anticipate its thoughts
and arguments, but will merely touch
its leading characteristics. Nothing
Vas exaggerated or overdrawn. The
work ol the farmer and planty was
sketched; the real work of understanding
nature’s laws and conforming to their re
quirements—and this genuine woik was
wisely discriminated as being neither
“Routine Funning” in the old style, nor
“Fancy Farming” under the impulse of a
utopian imagination. The introduction
of scientific methods; the remarkable co
incidence of disccveries opening the way
to practice of these methods; the good re
sults every where obtained when the
methods themselves were rightly nsed;
the steady strength of advance agriculture
had shown since Baron Liebig first stood
forth as the great pioneer of the move
ment; were all vigorously aud skillfully
handled. Aside from this, I liked the
manly tone which pervaded the address.
It was full of soutfd advice to the young
men, urging upon them the claims of in
telligent industry as the ordained means
to build up their own virtues and promote
the interests of civilization.
I have rarely fipent a more agreeable
and profitable hour/ The address was a
hviDg thing all through; fall of pith and
point, direct and straight-forward, and
every way most creditable to Dr. P. and
to the University. I only add that it was
iceU heard, for certainly better listening on
the part of all present I never witnessed.
After the address came the hymn, here
with sent:
• They helped every one his neighbor: and every
one said to hi* neighbor: Be of good courage.”—
Isiah 61, 6. \
X.
Bright vision of prophetic dsy,
No more thy promised bliss delay;
With longing eycB aud lifted bands,
Prayer waits thy »dvent to all lands;
Let each to each in love be bound.
And every spot be hallowed ground;
Each work, each Art, its altar rdse,
And all our toil be crowned with praise.

No more let man his brother hate.
Nor demon-Iuats each .day await;
No more fair field* deipoiled by strife,
Nor mocking peace vex all our life;
In Thee let ail our works he found.
To Thee let all our heatt - be hound.
Each hour renew cur hopes with grace,
And m.»ke our homes Thy dwelling place.
Tben came the benediction by the Rev.
Mr. Lewis, of the Methodist Church, aud
these attractive exercises dosed.
Dr. Pendleton has been cordially wel

and spirit on his work.

OUR PARIS LETTER.
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Pabib, January 8, 1873.
“The most remarkable woman is she
who has most children,” retorted Napo
leon to Madame de StaeL France is now
of tho same advice in seeing a diminution 1
of one-third of a million, on thu total o' '
the population, during the last five years,
and neither the cession of Alsace, the
losses by war, or sickness, can explain as
other thing than a sign of dt-generacy.
Iu round numbers the present population
of the country is 36,000,000. Ot coarse
the deaths are greater than the births. In
the census returns there is the strange
disparity between the numbers of hus
bands and wives—the latter exceeding the
former by 32,000. This difference be
tween what is considered equal factors, is
what no fellow can understand—except
ing French officials. It is the masculine
sex that exhibits the highest diminution.
The late war doos not account for the fac f ,
as the evil existed before 1870; neither
does the tendency on the pan of the “ra-
rals” to emigrate to the large centres of
.nduatry explain the present tailing off in
the increase of the people, since iu these
centres even the increase is but very-
slight. In the case ot Paris, however, the
population is now 1,852,000, being over
70,000 more than before the siege.
Patting aside causes which c<in only be
alladed to behind closed doors, the
French journals accept the diminution in
the population, or even its resting sta
tionary, as a fatal sign of degeneracy,
and draw attention to the fruitfulness and
consequent power of the Teutonic race
The decadency of Rome may be traced to
two prominent sources—a decline in the
number of marriages, and a falling off in
the number of births. There is a grow
ing feeling among young men in France
to regard married life as “a bore;” a state
surrounded by too many perils and de
manding too many sacrifices, despite the
efforts of fathers to pinch themselves to
provide a dowry for tneir daughters. Arf*
Frenchmen approaching the times of
Sy 11a, when peoplo ceased to marry? It
is said the recognition of divorce would
correct the evil. It did not remedy the
mischief among the Romans, where di
vorce was less difficult to effect than mar
riage. Pompey had five wives—Caasar
and Augustas three each. Pompey di
vorcsd Mucia; Cicero his wife, Terentia—
atter thirty years of married life—and
Cato, tho younger, divorced also his.
sponge, Marcia, to enable his odd “friend
Hortensius” to marry her. Augustas
paid evary marked honor to the married
men, gave them tho highest seat* in the
synagogues, relieved them trom many
public burdsns, and bestowed upon them
rewards. Yet the persecuted bachelors did
not become Benedicts—did not see the
necessity of the world being peopled.
Concubinage, rather than marriage, is
unhappily * n the i a crease in France, and
hence the corrective most be :ound in
altered manners. The Spartan plan of
“taking proceedings” against those who
married too late, or did not marry at all,
is not to be thought of. In ancient times
a father compelled his son to marry to
check his extravagance; in modern times it
is but too true, a wife promotes it in many
cases. The wife of the period should
have for model the Roman matron, who
presided over her hoase, edacaied her
children, guarded the honor of her home,
and shared iu her husband’s success, la
France, when a man marries, he is said
to retire from the world, and his wife to
eater it. Bath take differoat roads sub
sequently; hence, arises the question,
“why don’t the men propose, mamma?”
The Assembly being considered by :ha
nation as the equivalent for agitation,
the Deputies have retrieved a little ot
their character, by so far abstaining from
transacting business—a role tbat people
would heartily add amen to. Yet the Ro
man question, and the ministerial scheme
for gratuitous and obligatory education,
will soon raise storms; may such as usual
be confined to teapote ! The fir^t is as
delicate as it is dangerous, and while di
rectly affecting Italy, extends at tho same
time, as far as Germany. The unity ol
Italy is a stubborn fact. Tne education
question has the clergy against it, and
their influence is not to be despised.
However, the next to certainty that the
autumn of the present year will see the
German aoconnt settled and general elec-«
tions decreed, will compel Deputies to
be more reflective as to their votes.
Nothing serious will be attempted in the
way of making a twelfth Constitution for j
the country; this Penelope-task will be !
left for the new Parliament—tbat must I
be elected on the ticket “Monarchy or
Republic.” Pending the arrival of this
millennium, the Assembly will keep an
eye on the main chance—obtaining as
much money as possible to mi:ke both
end* meet There is a tendenoy that the
government is returning to saner ideas
on finance. It is not polite to look a
gift horse in the mouth; but the high
postal tariff is about being reduced to
former prices. For example, the regis
tration of letters is 100 per cent, less
since last New Year’s Day. The good
news was not proclaimed from the house
tops, but on a slip of paper, iu the most
fairy-style of penmanship, and posted as
high a* a Draco decree, so that those who
ran could not read : this pride, “the
Romans would call stoicism.”
Last week Paris was all smiles; this
week she is all grimaces, because citizens
have been balancing their books and
know how they stand after meetigg all
demands on their purses. The sight of a
toy-shop, Ac., creates feelings now akin
to the view of a gibbe*, or any refined in
strument of torture. However, the pain
having ceased it is to be hoped pleasure
will soon return, for the dance of the
francs has been fatiguing. Ahf it M.
Gambetta would but include in his new
“couches sociales” the whole tribe of the
not-to-be forgotten classes, it would be a
greater delight for the country than M.
Thiers’ reception on New Year’s Day, or
a Billy O’Rourke’s feast at the Prussian
embrssy. By the way, how fortunate it
was that M. Thiers did not “slip” after
leaving Count Arnim's residence? His
fall would certainly have been set down
to an invention of the enemy; as it was, no
one accuses- Lord Lyons ot any malice
aforethought. Besides, tho ambassador
of perfido Albion owed an Oliver to M.
Thiers. Dining with the latter on one oc
casion, Lord Lyons left at a late hour, on
arriving at the vestiary, he stood just so.
expecting the valet to’bring and hold his
top-coat; after waiting a while, ho turned
xound aod saw “James” encased in and
buttoning himself up in the coat. H.s
lord»hip requested the valet since he was
inside the garment to keep it, and passed
on directly to his carriage. If diplomacy
were confined only to such phenomena
instead of to de Grammont incidents and
d« Beast good-wishes.
The Fair on the Boulevards is over; the
electric toy no longer shocks both as to
price and effects; it is said the small boys
received ex*ra tips from their mammas
and grown-up sisters by threatening
them with a discharge in full. Science
made easy, has received an illustration,
but at the twelfth hour, in ihe “mechani
cal horse,” a toy wherein a horse without
wheels, goes ahead, backs, walks, trots
and gallops by means of a spring. To
make the invention “draw” it was ex
hibited alongside a tame hyena on a par
with the hyena in love. The patriotic
ioujou is the pile of five milliards in gold,
exhibited by a woman, who has been for
the last year occupied in preparing a
parallelopipedon, twenty-four feet high,
fifteen broad, and eleven deep, composed
of rouleaux of gilt zinc pieces of twenty
francs, to represent by an object lesson
the ransom money fixed by Germany. It
strikes the imagination much more torci-
bly than the statistical picture of how
many times that sum could be made to
go round the globe in five franc pieces, or
in thousand franc notes; ofthe nnmb ® r
horses to draw it, or railway tracks to
convey it. The exhibitor deserves the
Legion of Honor for her industry, and a
Treasury clerk for a husband.
M. Lovson. formerly Carmehte--Fatber
Hyacinth—has delivered an address on
the Roman Oatholio Ohnroh in a J rotaB ;
tmt meeting house. He admitted there
was much that was excellent both in the
Catholic and Protestant churches, but
that he belouged to neither; he apper
tained to the “church of the future”—
whatever that may be—with perhaps
Wagner’s music. M. Presaense suggested
to him that he might, in that case, feel
himself alone, and to beware of Vas
which of course drew all eyes towards
his wife. Naturally, the ex-priest was
eloquent on the sabjact of matrimony,
more than ever a parauftmnt qnestion, in
face of a decreasing population.* The
congregation left with tne impression that
the ex-padre was tapidly becoming bald,
aud that he stiil uses the silver cross
which he wore in the pulpit of Notre
D ime. His proi'jlytism makes about as
much progress as the petition for the dis
solution, of the Assembly.
Twelfth night, called in France “Jour
dts Roiis a merry festival. It is truly,
respecting his elected majesty, a verita
ble “what you will.” Since the concordat
of 1801, the fete has been held on the 6th
ot January, instead of Christmas Day.
Perhaps France is the only country where
a special g'dette, containing a Windsor
beau, is made for the eveut. Formerly
the cake and tun succeeded a black fast
and penitence. But we have changed all
that, as well as the decree of 1704, com
pelling tife bakers to 6ell the cakes at ten
seas each. After dinner the gaUtte ia pro
duced and cut into morsels, according to
the number of guests. He who finds the
morsel with the bean, is chosen king by
acclamation. The first thing his majesty
does is to select a queen, which, like ordi
nary mouarchs, he is often bound to ac
cept contrary to his tastes, and to reward
next day with a gift or a banquet Their
majesties being married and enthroned,
their will becomes law in the direction ot
the revels. Old King Cole is the monarch
whose reign is initiated, all his subjects
soon feel like Tam O’Shanter. “O’er a’
the ills o’ life victorious.” In 1521, Francis
L while enjoying the fun of the fete was
accidentally struck with a burning log of
wood on the head. He afterwards had to
wear his hair cut close, but fearing to be
mistaken for a Monk, he permitted his
beard to grow, and patronized his famous
hat During the Fronde rows. Cardinal
Maxann effected the escape of himself.
Anne of Austria and the royal family,
pending the fete des Rois, to Saint-Ger
main, Parisians were naturally discon
tented at losing a minister to enrse, and
their sovereign, whom they never like to
part with, especially when the capital is
m a state of revolt, and thus has become
uninhabitable. Oil the present occasion
some Republican confectioners, out of
compliment to M. Thiers, substituted an
imitation pair of little spectacles, in place
of the historical bean Indeed, M. Thiers
has become such a “straightont Demo
crat.” that when he attends a dinner of
his late monarchal friends, be feels him-
S; It to be a spectre rouge.
Th'j municipality is devoting great at
tention to the founding of public schools,
so that they will soon be more numerous
than the barracks. Jules Favre is oc
cupied with a diplomatic work cn the
Roman question, and rumor says he will
send the proof-sheets to Prince Bismark
for revision. The frontispiece of tbs
book will have three figured tear-dropr,
similar to what one meets with on French
tombstones. M. Littre having been
worthily entertained by a nnmbt-r of his
idmirers in honor of tho completion of
his grand dictionary, assured his friends
that he was neither an Atheist nor a
Deist, nor a Radical, and that he owed
his seat in the Assembly to the fuel of his
never making a speech. Suicides are
still plentiful, but none of them interest
ing, since no fashionable prostitute like
Pearl Cruch, is mixed up with them.
The journals hare ail “iven obituary
notices of the defunct year; are unani
mous in suubbing it; assert it does not
deserve an epitaph, but write one, twenty
columns in length, all the same. Among
the eminent men lost to science, art, &c.,
during 1872, a newspaper by some mys
terious blunder, includes the twenty-two
murderers, &c., guillotined.

A NICE RADICAL .SENATOR.
The Present Governor of Florida and
the Finances.
Jacksonville, January 30, 1873 ;
Editor Morning News :
It may not be amiss to take an outlook
from the standpoint assumed by the pres
ent newly elected Governor, and endeav
or to form some ideas of the results like
ly to be attained from the coarse he has
pursued since his inauguration. Daring
the canvass, it was his oft-repeated decla
ration that if elected to the Chief Magis
tracy, his highest aim would be to lift
the State from the fiaancial degradation,
imposed under the misrule of his pre
decessor, and in order to effect this
most and all-important change, it
would be his great duty to call
to his Cabinet such men as wonld
bring character, standing, and abili
ty to the "“State offices.” How far
has he succeeded in this particular? The
character and standing of tho gentlemen
be has called aroaud him is admitted to
be good, but their abilities are of an or
dinary it not of a rather inferior order.
Noue of them are of reputed financial
ability, neither is either of them known
to possess any ability as a statesman.
Should the Governor succeed no better in
his appointment of county officersjit is self
evident that the financial condition of
Florida, instead of being raised from the
slough of bankruptcy, will continue to go
deeper down, until its recovery ia beyond
redemption.
No Governor over went into office un
der more auspicious circumstances. It is
yet not too late for him to retrace the
false steps aiready taken, undoubtedly
tnrough the weakest of advisers, and so
shape his coarse that his official term will
remain a monument to his memory. Un
less he acts in accordance with his oft
avowed determination before his election,
he will, instead of inviting capital into the
State, be the direct means of driving it
out. There are Northern capitalists now
in our city waiting to see what kind of of
ficers the county of Duval will be com
posed of before they will iuvest a dollar.
If men of character, standing und abili
ty are appointed to manage county affairs,
they are ready and will invest thousands
of dollars. On the contrary, if, to gratify
a few politicians and the negro element,
our county is to be officially disgraced, as
it has beeu the past four years, no capital
will seek investment in it Northern
capitalists have no confidence in the
management of ignorance. Thoy prefer
men of ability, education and intelligence
to manage their financial matters. The
grave mistakes made by the Governor in
the selection of his Cabinet can be partial
ly remedied by better appointments in
the counties, and he will be held responsi
ble if he turns a deaf ear to the State’s best
interests. Duval.
This is the back-banded slap which the
Philadelphia Press gives to a certain
Pennsylvania Congressman: “Daceiye
themselves as they may, gentlemen in
Congress who have been investing in the
Credit Mobilier can not ‘brave it out’ on
the assumption that they had a right to
buy into it. We desire to give them the
full benefit of honest motives; but it is
proper to say tbat any attempt to lay
down the law that a Senator or Represen
tative can become interested in schemes
before Congress, or as an attorney can go
before the departments and courts and
take fees to support or oppose measures
on which he has voted, or may vote, will
be indignantly repudiated by the people."
Patterson's Receipts and Letter—A.
List and Perjurer Proved Guilty.
Washington. January 25.
The member of the Credit Mobiiier
Committee, who coolly Sc*:d a few days
ago that only a few newspapers were con
cerned about the investigation, and that
-the public felt no interest in it, would
probably now confess his mistake.- Each
day the public iu‘er«»t grows deeper, and
nowhere is ike curiosity to learn the next
startling revelation more prevalent than
among members of Congress. Even the
committee are new on tho alert and put
questions “to find out,” as Ben Butler
would say, while every in >rning they have
a crowded audienca rtady to hear and
consider the lruits of that investigation.
Patterson’s receipts for dividends.
Ang now the climax of to-day’: proceed
ings was reached when Judge P- land
*aid: “I understand, Mr. Ames t^at you
have some additional papers effecting
Senator Patterson to submit.” “I have,”
replied Ames; and forthwith he drew out
his capacious pocketbook, from which bo
produced a list of papers. He selected
two and said: “I have here two receipts
from Mr. Patterson. The first is for the
60 ner cent, dividend on his thirty bhares
of Credit Mobilier stock." “Will you
please read it ?” commanded the Chair
man. Tben, amid breathless silence,
while every man present leaned forward
to catch every word, Mr. Ames slowly
read as follows:
Washington, June 22, 1861.
Received of Oakts Ames eighteen hun
dred dollars on account cf dividends re
ceived by him on stock held lor my ac
count. J. W. Patterson.
$1,800.
The Chairman asked, “Did you see him
write his signature?” “I did,” replied
Ames. “The receipt is ia my handwri
ting. I wrote it and he signed it m my
presence.”
The effect produce*! by the reading cf
this receipt whs startling. The members
of the committee could not conceal their
surprise, and more than one spectator
uttered an exclamation of astonishment,
and asked of each other, “What next?”
They had not long to wait. Handing up
the receipt to the Chairman, Amts read
slowly the following :
# Boston, May 6, 1871,
Received of Oakes Ames two hundred
shares of Union Pacific Railroad stock,
and $757 24 in cash on account of Credit
Mobiiier stock, and there is still due on
the transaction thirty shares of stock in
the Credit Mobiiier of America, an.l
$2,000 in income bonds cf the Union
Pacific Railroad.
J. W. Patterson. .
ANOTHER DISCOVERY.
This receipt was also in Mr. Ames’ band-
writiug, and he te>tified that it wa* signed
in his presence. Having nailed poor P.it-
terson to a cross which he must bear
henceforward through all the remaining
years of his life, Ames was disposed to
withhold whatever documentary evidence
he had in his possession. He so declared,
but the committee for the first time seem
to realize that they had a dnty t© nerform
which must be done regardless or conse
quences. Judge Poland deman de 1 any
other paper or papers which he held bear
ing on this case, and Arnes very reluc
tantly said he bad a letter from b-aator
Patterson that he had discovered among
his papers last night. He had received
several letters lrom Mr. Patterson, but
had destroyed them at the time This one
he had unwittingly preserved, and if the
committee demunied it he would furnish*
it
The letter was handed up to the chair
man, who examined it critically, and - the
other members of the commitree gathered
around him and read it carefully. The
countenances of Judges Poland and M r-
rick were a curious study during the
time. {Surprise, pain, and disgust, in
turns, could be read in their faces as the
full import of the letter was developed.
After reading and examining it careiully,
the chairman inquired ol Mr. Am-s
whether he had held any conversations
with Senator Patterson in regard to this
bill. He replied that he had frequent
conversations with him on the subject
spoken of in the letter, and that this let
ter had also been spokeu of in une ot
these conversations. “The letter,” taid
he, “is about my conforming my testi
mony to suit the story ho intended to
tell, and he frequently wrote to me ol.
that subject, and ho frequently talked
with mo also on the sams topic.” Bung
satisfied that there could bo no possible
mistake about the genuineness of this let
ter, Judge Poland read it slowly and dis
tinctly:
senator Patterson’s letter.
Washington, January!, 1873.
lion. Oakes Ames:
My Dear Sib—The facts in respect to
the Credit Mobilier, so far as’ I had any
connection with it, uro as follows:
You came to me oce day, knowing that
a want of means was a chronic evil with
mo, and said, “Patterson,” if you would
like, I can let von have thirty shares of
stock iu the Credit Mobilier, which I
think, will be a profitable investment, and
will be a good thing for yon.” My reply
in substance was, that if you had any
thing which I could properly invest in,
and out of which I c uld make some
money, I should be glad to take it, but
that I had not the men y at that time, and
must defer it till I could get it.
Your reply was that you presumed I
could have it later, when it might be con
venient, and you regarded it a perfectly
legitimate transaction. At that time you
did not and ccuid not anticipate you
should ever ask for further legislation
from Congress in respect to the road, and
you never did except when it was forced
upon you by the secretary.
After the conversation with me you
may have had the impression that I
should lake tho stock some time; but for
dome reason or other, perhaps for a want
of lands, I never Look any cf the stock.
If I never had any htock in the company,
I could not, as I did not, have its divi
dends.
If pressed to know if I purchased at any
time any bonds or stock of the road, you
can say 1 did at tho time they attempted
to embarrass you when the value of the
stock was depressed, and I paid you the
full market value for it I paid you $7,000
in money for stock and bonds.
The stock I put into the hands r.f Mr
Morton immediately to sell as soon as it
should go up reasonably in tho market,
which he did.
I saw Mr. Morton on my way through,
and he said he had never held any stock
in the Credit Mobilier for any odo, but
did not wish to have his Lame brought
into the examination if it CQnld be avoid
ed. I am going to Ohio. I will see yon
on my return.
Don't fail to correct your original statement
before the committee.
It must not be reported as it now stands.
Very truly, Jbo., J. W. Patterson.
EVERTBODY ASTOUNDED.
The effect of the reading of this letter
was prodigious. Everybody was astound
ed. Even the correspondents, who have
had from time to time intimations of the
kind of evidence Ames conld produce,
were surprised and almost increduk us
uutii they obtained the original and saw
the word “pressed” aud the last two pa
ragraphs underscored. The stupidity of
a man who would write such a letter is
unfathomable, but what shall be said of
his effrontery in coming before the com
mittee and swearing as he bos done ?
Snrely there is no depth of infamy to
which a public mar will not descend when
once he has listened to the tempter !
The case made out against Colfax and
Patterson is so clear, and the nature of
their offences so terribly bad, that men
who have the least respect for their own
fame, as well as for their country’s honor,
cannot for a single hour longer associate
with then. It is a solemn and perhaps a
sad doty for any Senator to call attention
to this matter, which involves the honor
of not only a brother Senator but of the
Vice-President of the United States; but
what will the woild say of the honor of
the American Senate if there is no Sena
tor possessed of sufficient courage to per
form this sad and yet sacred duty ?

The Cotton Tax Matter.
’Io the Governor a \d Legislature of Georgia:
Th* interest which I feel in the pros
perity of my native State, is the only
apology I havj to make for addressing
this communication to the Executive and
Legislative Departments of the Govern
ment of Georgia. I trust that this will be
a sufficient reason lor inviting your atten
tion, in the first place, to the project for
refunding the cotton tax.
Tuis measure, at 1-sst the principle in
volved, is on* eminently just. Export
duties, in the face of the Constitutional
prohibition have been levied. The South
Las paid lhi.tn, and that, too, at a time
wkeu hi r who.le system of labor was revo
lutionized and overthrown, and every
source ol her prosperity seriously embar
rassed. Tht re can scarcely be a question
as to tho party who pays an export duty;
it is the producer of the article taxed. So
the consumer pays the import duty.
However we may refine upon the theories
aud principles at issue, there can be no
question a* to this conclusion.
If I understand tue merits of the case,
then, the cotton planters for tome years
after lho surrender, paid a tax, to ail in
tents and purposes, and export duty, upon
the cotton which they produced. How
ever this tax may have been paid, by
whomsoever the actual money was paid
to tue United States authorities, the farmer
paid the tax. If cotton was worth 15 cents
per pound, and the tax was 3 cents per
per pound, the farmer received but 12
cents for his cotton. If it can be proved
that the cotton was worth only 12 cents,
and that the imposition of the tax with
held nothing from the pocket of the
farmer, then the collection of an nnjast
t..x did no wrong to the producer. But
this is not assamed by any party in this
discussion.
The trouble, it seems, arises, not as to
the justice of a mersure to refund this
tax, bnt as to the parties who ought,
righteously, to receive it. In any view’
of the case presented thus far, there is
little hope that the produces of cctton in
the Southern States w 11 be to auy great
extent benefitted by ti e professed act ol
restitution. There in, however, one vi»-.v
of the subject which I have not seen pre
sented, either iu or out of the Congress.
Tbo people paid this cotton tax; how can
the people receive it back again ? I an
swer, let the whole amount of the tax
paid into the Treasury of the United
States be divided pro rata, as the number
of bales of cotton raised in each State
may be ascertained, and let the amouLt
due to the several States be set apart as a
perpetual fund for public education, both
r ices being the beneficiaries thereof. If,
for example, the amount of cotton raised
in 18C6 was 2,000,000 bales, and Georgia
raised of that amount 400,000 bales, then
Georgia will be entitled to $12,000,000—
if. a*" has been elated, the gross sum due is
$60,000,000. Let this sum, twelve mil
lions, be set apart for the edacatioa of the
wliite and black children of Georgia, in
the ratio of the i< umbers of each race com
ing w ithin the ages specified in the public
;Ohool law.
By this measure the people will be re
lieved from taxation to a large extent for
many years to come, for the purposes of
education, and inasmuch as the staple
industry of Georgia was wranged by* the
imposition ot the tax, and this sama in
dustry must now be taxed,' and must sup
port a public school system, if we have
one at all, the farmers of Georgia will b£
hereafter relieved from a heavy burden,
whilst ihe United States Treasury will
have retrieved its error by a beneficent
measure oi public relief. We will thus
secure #n adequate system of common
schools, free to all classes, white and
black, being educated in the schools set
apOTt for their respective uses.
By placing this measure in this light,
the Congress of the United Slates cannot
fail to soe tho juntico and the policy of
refunding the cotton tax. We*will de
monstrate-, moreover,our sincerity in seek
ing to establish a wise and ad< quate sys
tem of common school education. It is
alleged that the recently adopted system
in our State is a failure. Those who b&vfc
examined the subject will readily per
ceive tue reasons why this is so. The
delect is not so much in the details of the
plan adopted, as in thu measure of State
Aid. Georgia has a t mailer population
than M assachusetts, bnt she has seven
times the territory. Hence, a sparsely
settled population cannot be served by a
system adopted to a small, densely popu
lated territory. If we attempt to estab
lish a common school within three miles
of every man’s door, we must have not
lead than 1600 schools. At $300 per an
num for the services of a teacher, say
five months :n tb^ year, we have an an
nual tax of $480,000. These 1600 schools
with 50 pupiis, would accommodate 80,-
000 children.
In the Stuto of Massachusetts it would
r.quire but two hundred and twenty-two
schools to place a teacher within threu
miles of every man’s house. We have iu
Georgia, then, to bu Id nearly fourteen
bu tired school houses which are not re
quired iu Massachusetts. If we estimate,
for tho Fuke of argument, the cost of
building at five hundred dollars each, the
cost of the school houses in Georgia would
build two Lur.dred academies worth four
thousand dodars each in Massachusetts.
Theso buildings in Massachusetts would
accommodate the school population of
the State. But not so in Georgia. Some
of our schools wonld not have twenty
pupils; others would have hundred.
Hence tho necessity for costlier baildings,
furnishing more accommodation in the
thickly settled sections.
Here, then, is the problem. To fur
nish schools accessible to ail and ade
quate to the wants of the people. Not
less than a million of dollars will do this
for tho white race in Georgia—the colored
race will require three quarters of a mil
lion more. The pay of the ti achers of
both races would require $750,000 per
annum, at the lowest estimate; where is
the money to come from ? How can we
build hcbool houses and furnish teachers
lor the children of tho people? Impov
erished as wo are, we cannot tax the in
dustry of the Sta»e one per cent, to ac
complish this object, and less than this
amount of taxation will not do it. The
United States tried an unjust tax upon
the industry of the country. Let them
refund the money, and let tho several
States apply it to this great and benificent
purpose. With this money we can build
a school house in every neighborhood,
and ^furnish a teacher for both classes cf
our’population, and thus educate the
rising generation.
Having something more to say upon
this subject, in connection with emigra
tion and the development of the resources
of Georgia, I forbear for the present.
Atlanta, January 28, 1873.
General Forrest in Detroit, and What
His Object Is—Aid for a Railroad
from Brunswick, Georgia, to Kan
sas City.
[From the Detroit (Michigan) Union.]
A Union reporter was scrutinizing the
Biddle House register yesterday iu the
hope that the dearth of items might be
relieved by a “personal,” at least, when
his eyes encountered the name of N. B.
Forrest, Memphis. He asked the clerk
if th.-.t was not General Forrest, ol the
rebel army, and, upou that functionary
replying in the affirmative, sent m his
card to the hero of Foil Piiiow.
Although General Forrest was once a
bitter rebel, he is now an ardent Union
man, and requested its repre : enutive to
come in immediately. The General was
standing with his back to the stove, with
his hands under hi* coat-tails. He is of
immense height, solidly built, and has a
healthy, glowing color. His hair is as
white as seventy, but his lace and figure
look no m*‘re than forty.
Major J. P. Fresenius, who earned his
title in thu same service as the General,
and is a little man witn a red b<.ard aud
thin face, was sitting at a table, looking
over a heap of papers. After the re
porter had introduced himself to Gen.
eral Forrest, and Gen. Forrest had intro
duced him to the Major, he said to the
former :
“General, is there anything that would
interest the public in connection with
yoar visit to Detroit, and which you
would not object to give them ?”
“Well,” he replied, “that depends alto
gether upon the taste of your public.
However, I’ll tell yon what brought me
here, and then you can judge for your
self. I am President of tha Selma, Marion
and Memphis Railroad, running from
Memphis, Tennessee, to Selma. Alabama,
which is a distance of about two hundred
aud eighty miles, and I have come to De
troit to see if I cannot interest yoar capi
talists in that road particularly, and in
another railroad project of much larger
dimensions.”
Reporter—What i9 that, pray ?
General Forrest—The road of which I
am President is a section of an air line,
now reaching from Brunswick, Georgia,
on the Atlantic coast, through Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkan
sas, Missouri, and to Kansas City, in
Kansas.
Reporter Is not Kansas City in Mis
soari, General ?
Goneral Forrest—That’s a fact. It is,
nevertheless, the western terminus, and
our plan is to extend this string of rail
roads to the iine of the Northern Pacific,
which will make the shortest route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The conversation terminated by the
General mentioning his intention to pro
ceed to New York, there, no doabt, to
pash his negotiations.
A First-Class Swindler. —A first-class
swindler has just be*n arrested in Louis
ville, Ky., whose ^kreer in that quarter
daring the past six months is a queer
commentary both upon his worming in
genuity and audacity, and also upon the
amazing credulity of those who were the
victims of his sharp practices. Henry
Huffman, alias Christian Von Dehl, oame
to Louisville last fall, and took lodgings
in one of the leading hotels of the city.
His personal appearance &Dd manners
were such as to attract considerable at
tention, and by means of these he became
one of the lights of high social circles in
the city. He made statements concern
ing his great wealth and high connections
in Germany, and said that he was dai.j
expecting to receive $90,000 in gold from
Europe. A bird of such rare plumage
was naturally much sought after by
families containing eligible daughter:!,
aL,d Von Dehl was welcomed to every
household which ho condescended to
eater. Ho became the guest of a highly-
respectable farmer residing a few miles
ont of Louisville. After enjoying the
confidence and esteem of the family for
two months, he departed for Louisville to
look after his forthcoming legacy, promis
ing to return and hoy the farm in a few
days. Instead of keeping his word, how
ever, he went into another section of the
State and became an esteemed member of
another thrift^ farmer’s family. He made
love to one of the daughters, and on his
revealing to her the secret that he was a
German baron and possessed of a fabulous
amonnt of property, he was made tho
recipient of num'erous costly presents,
which he acknowledged by clearing out
for parts unknown one fine morning. He
practiced his confidence game on about
thirty families in the State, and finally
created a stir among tho authorities that
led to his being arrested, and he is now
a leading candidate for the State work
house.
Remarkable Detection of a Murderer
A murderer was detected in a very re
markable manner in Missouri recently.
At Coldwater, in that State, a man named
Caldwell murdered his employer, John
son, robbed him of one thousand dollars,
and escaped, leaving no trace behind. A
few days ago a Dr. Ritchie, living at Phy-
atal-t, several miles from Coldwater, bad
been drinking freely, and was, in a jocu
lar manner, accusing every one of having
committed the murder. Finally, he met
a stranger, and being just tipsy enoagh
not to care what he said, addressed the
stranger in the same mannwr: “Yes—you
—you ure the man who murdered John
son at Coldwater.” A look of guilt over
spread the man’s face, and simnltaneously
he ran his hand in his bosom, as if to
draw a weapon. Dr. Ritchie collared him
with his left hand, and with his right
drew a difk from his pocket and told him
if he attempted to draw a weapon he
wonld plunge that knife to his heart in a
second. He then commanded the man
to withdraw his band, which was speedily
obeyed, when, instead of a weapon, he
drew oat the sum of $1,100, which he
dropped on the ground at his feet Mean
while a crowd bad gathered arcand the
doctor snd his prisoner, and the evidence
of the muu’s guilt was bv this time so pal
pable that he was placed under arrest.
The man thus arrested bos since proved
^ be Caldwell, and be has confessed both
tne murder and the robbery.
A London detective put his head into
an omnibus one day just as it was start
ing off, with the remark, “Passengers will
do well to look oat for their pocketbocks.
There are two members of the swell mob
in this’bus.” Thereupon a grave-looking
old gentleman with eyo-glasses and a gold
headed cane hastily got out, saying, “If
that’s the case I won’t go in this ’bus.”
He was followed by a clerical-looking gen
tleman with a while choker, who remark
ed that he “wouldn’t ride in such com
pany.” Aud then the detective closed the
door and shouted to the driver, “Ail right;
drive on, they’ve got out”
We don’t mean to be unkind; but really
the story is an old on«, aDd we have no
exense for publishing it, except that Sen
ator Patterson’s pathetic speech the other
day about leaving public life with pleasure
if thirgs were going on in this way, and
then brother Harlan’s following him oat
with remarks in a similar tone, recalled
the circumstance.—N. Y. Sun.
Indictments have been found by the
grand jury of the United States District
Court, at Albany, against Susan B.
Anthony and fifteen other ladies, charg
ing them with veting illegally in Roches
ter. They are to appear before the court
in that city in May next. Indictments
were also found against the three inspec
tors who received their votes.
Alas! when lovely woman stoops to
folly she is certain to find that men be
tray, and so forth, of which poetical Irue-
ism the charming Miss Anthony is just
realizing the meaning.
A Shrewd Business Manaoeb.—It is
well known that Senator Sprague, of
Rhode Island, is one of the largest manu
facturers ol cotton goods in the United
States, and that be holds other important
interests in various sections of the coun
try. In the coarse of his manufacturing
operations be has found it advantageous
not only to export provisions from Texas
for the use of bis thousand* of opera
tives, tbat they may be enabled to save
more of their earniags by thus obtaining
supplies at & small advance on first cost,
bat the distinguished manufacturer has
also taken an interest in the construction
cf a railroad in Texas, and the erection
of cotton factories at convenient points
along the line of '.he road, in order tbat
he may purchase bis cotton direct from
the planters, and thus save many thou
sands of dollars annnally in freight, com
missions, storage, Ac., and be able to
keep his mills running the year round.
TheD again, instead ot paying tribute to
others to transport bis raw material and
meat supplies, he will convey them over
Lis own road. It i3 also quite probable
tbat he Las an eye to tbe Texas wool crop,
which is annually increasing, and will
soon excel (bat of any other State in
quantity, as it now does, in some respects,
all others in quality.—Boston Globe.

senger, of January 12, 1870.
A Remarkable Cure.
Onr readers will peruse With the doepest inter
est the accompanying card of Mr. It. W. White,
of thi* city, relating to his wonderful relief from
Diabetes, tbat terrible malady which usually de<
flea all human skill.
So thoroughly impregnated with saocharine
matter were the urinary deposits of the sick man,
that when subjected to evaporation, candy had
actualir been the residuum. Most of his living
had been spent unaTailingly for medical advice
and treatment, and death seemed inevitable.
Butin the hands of his eminent practitioner, his
restoration has beeu rapid and complete, and
now he appears on i he stand to tell the story of
hia unexpected resurrection almost from the very
jaws of the grave.
Dr. Jones is daily performing other wonderful
cures, and his fame is drawing to him patients
even from the neighboring States. Yesterday he
performed delicate and successful operations
upon two ladies for cross eyes and cataract, one
of whom had ceme from South Carolina to con
sult him. In diseases of tbe ear, too, he is
equally skillful, and inserts artificial drams or
tympanum*, when tbat organ has been destroyed
by concussions or otherwise. Theee are very cu
riously and delicately framed of India rubber.
The public will be glad t j learn thst his distin
guished physician has consented to remain a few
days longer at his quarters at the Brown House.
The sick tnd suffering would do well to lay their
cases before him without delay. While there la
life there is hope.
Remarkable and Great Curb or Diabetes—
(Sugar r* the Urine)—Bt Dr. J. A. Jones.—For
nearly three years I was sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabetes—sugar in the urim
daring which time my sufferings language could
not descirbe. My disease was contracted in rep-
tember, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in
the employ of Col. Edmund Harrison, in Mont
gomery, Ala., who knows of my case welL I waa
treated by a.l the best physicians of the principal
Southern ciLes, and nearly all of tnem gave up
my case as incurable, alter treatiug me for weeks
or months. I also tried the mountain air of Bir
mingham, Ala., and tried bitter* and all kinds of
patent medicines. Nothing reached my diseat■».
or touched the root of it, or changed my uriiu .
which was white and soon after beiug voided in
the son crystalized into sugar. I had to get up
every half boar daring the night to drink and
void water. Everything I ate and drank turned
lnte sugary uriue; and thns, by ounces, I was
wasted and reduced from a strong, healthy, stoat
man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton cf 69 pounds
Forty-eight hours after I commenced Dr. Jones'
treatment my urine changed to a natural color
with the natural odor, and In a few days my pales
and ills all left me, aud I feel as well as I ever did
in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural
aud regular bowels, and am gaining my former
activity andetrength daily, but my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bad effects of the mar-
ca^, iron, arsenic, etc., given me before I saw
Dr. Jones. I have not taken over an ounce of
medicine from Dr. Joses, and it was pleasant to
take, and he never changed his remedy, and gave
me but one small bottle of that, but it west to the
very spot, and I and my wife both saw that I was
cured, and I both felt and saw It after the first
twenty-four hours’ use of Dr. Jonee’ medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great
physician, for my shroud was prepared and at my
bedsida, and my disease was pronounced incura
ble by so many phyaicians, some of them stating
that no person had ever been cured of diabetes.
B. W. White, Macon, Ga
I know Mr. White; have known him for many
years, and can testify to the truth of the above
remarkable cure by Dr. J. A. Jonee.

Hear What one of the Ablest Physicians in Alabama
says of Dr. Jones’ Treatmei, t— Ozoena Cured.
I have been suffering lor five years with otoena
(an offensive disorder of the note) of tue worn
form, having in that time triel aU the remedies
spoken of in the medical books, atd used in the
common practice, and grew worse under them all
tbe time, until the dreadful disease impaired my
whole system, produced eevere neuralgia, general
debility, and disfigured my nose, and destroyed
my sense of smell. In this condition I placed
myself under the pro'esslonal care of Dr. J. A.
Jonee, at the Battle House, and I have bean rap
idly improving from the first day. I consider his
specific treatment the direct mean* of saving luy
life; it ia more tben a fortune to me. I cheerfully
recommend Dr. Jones to the afflicted.

Testimony of an Aged Planter, of Vitoria—Bron
chitis. Asthma and Consumption Cured
by Dr. Jones.
For seventeen years I have had oppression, dif
ficult breathing, pain in the sides, coughing, rasp
ing, scraping of nay throat, wheezing, hoarseneuv
•every norther gave me fresh cold and laid mo
up for weeks, until I wa* pronounced a consump
tive; and thus a complete invalid, wasted away-
having been injured much by drugs given me by
family doctors-I came to Dr. Jones, who ex
amined me at once, told me he could again make
me comfortable and save my life by bis peculiar
Remedies and Instrument for Inhaling them. I
paid him hi* price and commenced Lis treatment,
and immediately commenced Improving, and in
three weeks was quite well, could eat well, sleep
well, breathe perfect, and my color is good. I
have gained flesh and health from the very hour
that I first commenced his treatment It is now
two months. I am well, and attend to every kind
of busineee. I was expected to die with consump
tion every day. Sow my acquaintances ask me
who In the world raised me from thedead ? I tell
them Dr. Jonee. I feel tbat money la no equiva
lent for such service* as Dr. Jones renders.
