Atlanta Constitution, 2C.th: Governor
Smith was busy yesterday examining the
several bids for leasing out the peniten-

nrecn six and seven hundred convicts to
1,-nse out. There were about a dozen
Tils made for them. A gentleman
wanted one convict. Only one bid was
received for tho entire force, and that
proposed to give nothing, but simply re
lieve the State of all expense for five
rears. Several bids are made for con
victs to be used on farms. YVe are in
formed by Governor Smith that he has
secepted the following bids: Of the
Marietta. Canton and Ellijay Railroad for
100 convicts at $11 per capita per annum.
(If Air. Stephens, of Baldwin county,
f,.r fifty convicts, to be employed at his
kaolin works at $20 per capita per an-
num. Of Mr. Harris, of Bartow comity,
for fifty convicts, to be employed at the
iron works at $20 per capita per annum.
The Governor will probably act on the
remaining bids to-day.
Col. G. AV. Adair, of Atlauta, on immi
gration: Many of the railroads in the
Sorth and West, by purchase or donation,
have secured bodies of land lying con
tiguous to their lines, upon which they
iaduce immigrants with their families to
locate, by offering them titles to the land
on long time and reduced prices. By this
policy these railroad corporations are
•very day establishing along their route
jrge aud industrious communities, who
till henceforth prove a source of support
aid munificent income to these railroads.
Of course our railroads cannot offer such
inducements, but they', in co-opepitiou
nth our land owners, can offer facilities
which will induce thousands of immigrants
«ud thereby enhance the value of our
lauds aud increase the revenues of our
railroads. Here is the plan: Let the rail
road companies require every one of their
de]>ot agents to open a large blank book
iu his office, and let every man who has
bud to dispose of go to that book and
place ou it an accurate plat of all his sur
plus land, describing by diagram and
writing, nil its advantages of fertility’,
climate, water power, minerals, schools,
churches, etc., stating the terms upon
which the same can be purchased. He
should place no fictitious value upon his
buds, nor in any way misrepresent or
overestimate their advantages. The de-
lot agents are all deemed to be reliable
»ud well acquainted with the country. A
he of fifty cents or one dollar paid to
the agent would he sufficient for the
privilege of making such record, under
direction of the railroad companies. In
fib manner the immigrant is allowed all
desirable facilities for enabling him to
locate. Stopping at the depot he has
°“ly to examine this book in order to ob
tain a knowledge of the character of the
country, the nature of the soil aud the
intelligence of its inhabitants. Let the
a 1 owners divide up their large bodies
>f land into tracts of twenty and fifty
acres, and offer them to immigrants ou
Most reasonable terms—at the lowest fig
ures on five years' time. Let them give
away, if need be, half their land, aud in
“ e years the remaining half will be
worth more than the entire tract is now
worth, or will he in five years, unless
“rue such scheme is adopted.

FROM GREEN COTE SPRING.
A Ride Behind a Donkey Engine—The Last
Passenger—The Sulphur Spring at Green
Cove—The Hotels—Early Vegetables, etc.
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.]
Green Cove Spuing, )
St. John’s Riveb, March 17, 1874. (
Taking the “street oars” I left the An
cient City shortly after eleven a. m. My
special car was a rough box holding some
twelve or fifteen persons, and our loco
motive consisted of two small mules.
There were three or four other cars, two
of which were similar to those on the
street railway in Savannah. Each car
was drawn by two horses or mules, which,
were changed once. Every car was
crowded, and I should suppose there were
at least a hundred passengers. The three
hours ride to Tocoi was passed pleasantly,
considering everything. The road is laid
with wooden rails, the edges of which are
much worn. The country through which
it passes is exceedingly barren and unin
teresting.
Arriving at Tocoi, after many a jest at
the expense of the railroad, the cars and
the donkey engine, I found about as many
passengers waiting to take the train for
Augustine. There were three boats at
the wharf, two of which were goiqg up
the river, and the other to Jacksonville
and intermediate landings. I took the
latter steamer, the Florence, and reached
Green Cove, after a pleasant run of two
or three hours I was amused at the
lively scene on the wharf at Tocoi, occa
sioned by the waiters of the different
boats drumming for their respective
lines. Towards the last, when they
were ready to drop out, I noticed an
old gentleman with a carpet-bag in one
hand and a bundle of orange canes in the
other. He seemed to be not in the least
hurried or affected by the noise and con
fusion around, but came leisurely along
as if he had the whole day before him.
At the suggestion of one of the drummeri)
before mentioned he stepped aboard the
Hattie just as she cast loose. Pretty soon
I saw a change come over the spirit of
the old man’s dream as he discovered that
he was on the wrong boat. He wished
to take our boat, and after some delay,
and much te the relief of his friends, he
was finally transferred, and thus, having
taken our “last passenger” aboard, we
started.
Green Cove is very properly named, as it
is located in a beautiful cove or bay of the
St. John’s, the shores of which are clothed
with verdure. About a hundred yards
from the .river is the Warm Sulphur
Spring, boiling up at the foot of a bank
at the rate of 3,000 gallons a minute. The
Spring is about twenty-five or thirty feet
across and surrounded by a circular walk
from which oue may look far down into
its green, cavernous depths. It presents
a wonderful sight. The warm sulphur
ous water boils out of a dark hole
twenty-five feet in depth, and ah the
rays of the sun touch the emerald
rocks, the sides shine like burnished
gold, while the waters assume all the
colors from a light pea-green to
the dark blue of the ocean. It is led from
the spring into various pools and bath
houses, where every convenience is had
for bathing, and thence into the river.
The temperature is 78 degrees, and the
water is so agreeable that persons can
bathe at any season. It is highly effica
cious iu a good many diseases, such as
rheumatism, cutaneous diseases and dis
eases of the liver, etc.' Surrounding the
spring is a shady grove of trees, beneath
xvhich are cool seats and croquet grounds.
The water is used by all the hotels, of
which there are three, all crowded with
visitors, who express themselves as highly
delighted with the place on account of
its quiet rural appearance, and the accom
odation afforded by the excellent hotels
as well os for the delightful bathing and
beneficial effect of the waters.
At most of the places along the river
the-hotels are closed during the summer.
This has been the case here until last
summer. The Palmetto House, kept by
Mr. Griffiths, was open, and he proposes
to continue the experiment. I have not
found a pleasanter house, and this place
is so convenient to Jacksonville and other
points, and possesses so many attractions
to visitors, I ’ should think they would
prefer Greeu Cove to many places that
have a wider reputation. I therefore
heartily recommend all our rheumatic
friends, as well as those in search of a
pleasant summer resort, to give this de
lightful place a trial. The hotels are ex
cellent and convenient to the spring—
only a few rods distant. Visitors amuse
themselves sailing and fishing on the
river, playing croquet, billiards or ten
pins and bathing in the spring.
To show your readers how advanced
vegetation is, I will state that we had at
the hotel here twelve different kinds of
vegetables, fresh from the garden, on the
table last Sunday. While at St. Augus
tine I noticed fine strawberries on the
table. This astonishes the Northern vis
itors nearly as much as the alligators, and
they send home samples of vegetables,
such as peas, beans, etc., to prove their
assertions to their doubting friends North.
I take the City Point to-day forPalatka,
from thence the Lollie Boy to Enterprise.

Scenes In South Carolina—“Buckra”
Man “A-Talking.”
Chableston, S. C., March 16.
Carpetbaggery and negro rule has “doiie
the business” for us, as Charles Lamb's
last platefullof mutton-pie did for him.
Weare “cleanbusted.” Robbed—stripped
of everything. The plunder amounts to
sixteen millions—and this, since the war.
Our people have not the means to pay the
taxes on their homes. Many have sold
out for what they could get, and gone to
Texas and other regions. But the Federal
and State officials have fattened and
grown rich. Hundreds of these blood
suckers have got full at the expense of a
helpless and suffering people. One case,
not so aggravated as some others, I will
mention. It is that of Mr. Leslie, the
late internal revenue collector of the first
district He came to Charleston a poor
man, just after the war, and actually bor
rowed two pairs of socks and a shirt He
did well as internal revenue collector, and
made a pile. He also procured himself
to be elected (by the negroes) to the State
Senate, and there, for four years, he man
aged to do a thrifty business, like many
of the colored legislators. He “retired"
oue year ago, his income being $15,000,
and he owns city lots near New York Cen-
tral Park, and drives his fast horses.- He
is one of thousands. ^
And now—as to negro rule here. You
should just tee this Legislature when it is
in full bloom. But there is “no use talk
ing ” Here is a fact: There was a trial
in progress in this city, and “the court”
consisted of a negro judge. The lawyers
were of the same persuasion—all save
one - he was a white man, and when he
made his plea the “judge” interrupted
him with questions os to what that
meant, till suddenly the negro lawyer on
the other side sharply reprimanded His
Honor ptc)Aiming z
‘“ou hush up! Don’t you hear btuhra
a tftllring J*”
[“Buckra,” in the negro vernacular,
means a white man, who is also supposed
to be a man of education and general su
periority.] *

A Washerwoman’s Riches Take Flight
Suddenly.
On Friday last, one Mrs. Mary Kelly, a
woman who has spent a great portion of
her life bent over a washtub, stopped at
the residence of Maurice McCarthy, living
near the Solar Stove Works, in this city.
Mrs. Kelly was pretty generally known,
but it was not known or dreamed that she
was any more than the poor washerwoman
■he pretended to be. Directly after her
arrival at McCarthy’s, it appears she se
cretly deposited a little package in a ma
nure pile on the premises, said to contain
$5,000 in gold and $15,000 in currency.
On Saturday, Mr. McCarthy, says report,
was hauling manure from the pile in
question, assisted by his son and Mr.
Siinohds. Mr. Simonds, in diggiug, came
across an awkward package, which he
threw to the boy McCarthy, with the re
mark, “There is a bundle of money,” The
boy picked it up, examined it, and then
tossed it to his father, who was sitting on
the cart The father examined the pack
age, and discovering that it was money,
put for the house to secrete it
In a short while Mrs. Kelly missed her
money, and accused McCarthy of having
it He denied the charge in toto. Mrs.
Kelly then took the advice ■ of some
friends, and applied to Justice Hendricks
for a search warrant for McCarthy’s prem
ises, and at the same .time entered com
plaint against McCarthy, charging him
wilh having stolen the money. The pa
pers were placed in the hands of Consta
ble Wheeler, who Wednesday evening ar
rested McCarthy and put him in jail
Upon searching the premises he found in
McCarthy’s bed a small package of frac
tional currency, tied with a piece of mus
lin. He showed the package to Mrs.
Kelly, when she recognized it as hers at
once. On last Thursday Mrs. McCarthy
and daughter were placed under arrest,
but were subsequently released on their
personal recognizances. On Friday the
parties appeared before Squire Hendricks,
when a hearing was postponed until Sat
urday at 3 o’clock. In default of bail,
McCarthy, wife and daughter were re
manded to jaQ.
This is the most singular circumstance
we were ever called upon to record. Mrs.
Kelly has lived in this city for a number’
of years, and has worked from house to
house by the day. She is an ignorant
woman, not even able to sign her name.
Her husband is living, but he has not
lived with her for a number of years. How
she came in possession of so much money
is unknown, but the presumption is that
she inherited it. She is very reticent
about the whole affair. It appears that
up to a few days ago the money had been
in bank. She drew it last week to invest

On Sunday afternoon a young man named
George Falk swallowed, as he stated ^
three ounces of laudanum and five grains
of morphia, in order to end his life, as

as far as possible, his physician, Dr.' Mjj.
Gately, ordered that he he walked until
he was out of danger. At half-past two
o’clock Sunday afternoon he was put
upon his tramp for life, and was forced
to walk in the open air as rapidly as he
could. His father kept by him for a long'
time, and a friend or a policeman assisted.
After some hours the father gave ont,

so great was his stupor that at times- he

it was necessary to catch him and move

An Archbishop in Prison.
A correspondent of the Neue Wiener
Frae J'reste succeeded in gaining access
to Arehbishpp Ledochowsbi of Posen in
hi£ prison at Ostrowo, on the 5th of
February, and gives the following account
of the interview he had with the aged
prelate:
“Nothing can be gloomier than the
vast district prison at Ostrowo. The town
itself is one of the ugliest in the province
of Posen, which is saying a good deal;
and seems to have been especially select
ed for that reason for the purpose of
locating there an institution for the
punishment and reformation of crimi
nals. It was ten o’clock on the morning;
of the 5th of February when I appliex.
at the office of the Warden Herr von
Kardoff, for permission to see his grace,
the incarcerated Archbishop of Posen,
exhibiting my credentials as your corres
pondent My application evidently struck
the Prussian official as something unpre
cedented, and he curtly replied, ‘You can
not see the prisoner.’ I then showed him
my letters of introduction from several
influential parties in Berlin, and he be
came more civil, without, however, con
senting to reconsider his decision. ‘It is
against our rules,’ he said, ‘to admit visi
tors to any prisoner’s cell, and we cannot
make any discrimination in favor of any
person.’ After a good deal of persuasion
on my part the warden finally relented,
and told me to come back at noon, when
he would tell me whether the Archbishop
would see me or not.
“At the appointed hour I was again at
his office. The warden was busy just
then, and I had to wait. While doing so
I witnessed a painful scene. Three men
were brought in, with chains on their
arms and feet. Rough-looking fellows,
with desperate faces, they were. Thtf
warden looked sternly and close at them,
and then said to one of them, ‘You have
been here before.’ The prisoner pro
tested in a whining tone he had not been,
but the warden assured him he was not
mistaken. I soon discovered what it
meant. The other two prisoners were
taken to the adjoining room, and their
chains were taken from their limbs. The
third prisoner, whom the wanlen had
recognized as a recidffi, was handed over
to a keeper, who took him into a hall
way and there fastened him to a wheel
barrow. To this wheelbarrow the wretch
will remain attached all day long, except
during meal-times, and when he is about
to be locked up in bis oell for the night.
The prisoner, who was sentenced for
seven years for an atrocious assault, evi
dently appreciated his terrible fate thor
oughly; for he rent the air with his
lamentations while he wheeled his barrow
into the work-yard.
“ The warden then told me that the
Archbishop would see me, and conducted
mj through the long corridor into a small
yard, and thence to a two-stoiy building,
which he said was his own dwelling, a
parlor on the second floor having been
fitted up as a place of confinement for
the Archbishop.
•‘ This parlor was at the head of the
staircase, and the door was secured by
means of a large padlock. The warden
unlocked it, and -ushered me into the
Archbishop’s prison. The room was
plainly but comfortably furnished. A
small iron bedstead stood on the right
walk There was a table in the middle of
the room Close to one of the two win
dows stood a mahogany secretaire, and at
the other window, in an ordinary cane-
chair, sat the Archbishop.
“His grace greeted me kmdly.regretting
that he could not receive me in better
quarters. As he said this he laid down a
volume on the window board. The in
scription on the back, in large, golden
letters, told me it was a copy of Thomas
a’ Keinpis’ ‘De Imitations Christi.’ I ex
pressed the hope that his imprisonment
would be of short duration. He shook
his massive head slowly and said, with an
expression of resignation on his handsome
face, ‘No, no. My adversaries will keep
me here for tho full length of my term of
imprisonment. The Emperor William
would probably pardon me if I should
address a prayer to that effect to him; but
I shall never do so. Never.’
“He paused a moment, and then said:
“As a journalist, you are familiar with
this Whole affair. It is a struggle of prin
ciple against principle. My enemies
have the power to make me suffer now,
and I know the daring man, who is my
real enemy, too well not to foresee that
he will never flinch. Unparalleled suc
cesses have intoxicated him, so that he
now believes, more firmly than Napoleon
I. ever did, that his star will never set.
And yet upon what a frail foundation is
all this structure of sudden grandeur
built: I‘foresee the fall, but it may
take years to bring it about Until then
I can wait and suffer.”
“I was not disposed to argue this point
with his grace, and so asked him if he
was, well treated.
“ ‘Oh, yes;’ he replied. ‘They give me
enough to eat and drink, but I have al
ways needed very little of that. I am a
very moderate eater, and have not drank
a drop of wine at the table for twenty-
five years. To my abstemious life, I am
sure, I am indebted for the good health
which I enjoy. I am now suffering from
cold which I contracted in that gloomy,
bitter cold night, when I was dragged
from my bed without a moment’s warning
and hurried on board a train, and was
left for hours without a fire.’
“I then inquired what his grace inteud-
ed to do daring his imprisonment.
“Ah,” he said, with a melancholy smile,
they will not permit me even to commu
nicate with the oufeide world as I choose.
The warden sent yesterday to the Minis
ter of Justice to inquire if my letters to
my friends should be read before being

I must confess that I was thunder-struck
when I heard this. But I soon resigned
myself even to this. I mnst be .thankful
for having ’ the privilege of remaining in
this room, and of receiving my food from
the warden’s table. Had I received no
irivileges I would now sit in a small cell,
ml> dark, and be fed on the coarsest of
food. But you asked what I intend to
do here. .If they give me permission to
communicate freely with the world out
side. I shall write a book—a book on this
whole subject, and let fair-minded people,
without distinction of creed, judge for
themselves whe ther I have done any more
than I was in duty bound torio.’
At this moment the door was nn-
Southem Trade.
An opinion has lately been prevalent
that trade with the Southern States has
been unusually backward, and that New
York jobbing houses had experienced
some difficulty in making their collec
tions, but such assertions turn ont to be
somewhat exaggerated. It is true that
Southern trade is not so prosperous as it
should be, taking into consideration the
late extensive cotton crop, but there ore
several causes operating against it It is
represented by persons well acquainted
with the existing state of affairs that the
mode of planting cotton at the South is
extravagant in the extreme, and that the
prices obtained for the crop did not much
more than cover the increased expense of
growing it The present price of cotton
is represented as too low and that the
profit is not now so great as when the
crop was sold at half the present
price before the war. This is under
stood to be owing to a great extent
to the pfesent unsettled condition of
the Southern labor market, resulting from
well understood causes. Before tho war
the negroes, during the picking season,
would work from sunrise to. sunset, and
accomplish a great deal of work; but now,
it is said, "The field hands work only as
They feel* disposed, and even then they
are not to be relied upon. In this man
ner not a little valuable time is lost, and
the crop made much more expensive than
necessary. Present prices scarcely more
than cover the cost, and consequently the
planter has but little margin to spare at
the end of the year. It is also said that
the extra demand for cotton, brought
about by the gradual increase of the
world’s population and its necessities,
owing to the operation of the same cause,
has not been met; or, in other words,
production remains about the same as,
or even less, than before the war, whereas
the demand has greatly increased These
facts are stated by persons doing a large
trade with the South, to show that what
ever depression does exist is chiefly owing
to the derangement of labor and the 'in
adequate price obtained for the great
staple.
The Southern merchants sell mostly on
credit to the planters, and there are man}’
instances where, when the crop has been
marketed and the attendant expenses
paid, the latter has no money left to meet
his debts; Hence merchants in many
cases have been compelled to ask for ap
extension from the jobbing and commis
sion houses, and these, v in turn, have
fallen back upon their Northern corres
pondents for additional accommodation.
The price of cotton, however^,
sidered the only cause of this
fairs, for nnder ordinary oil
the farmer or planter
their way. The higl
owing to the enormous increase of State
debts of oue kind and another since the
war, has kept the country in an impover
ished condition. The planters constitute
the majority of the real estate owners,
and upon that class fells the whole weight
of the burden; so that in many instances
they are naturally poorer than when the
war closed. V
As an instance of this, a Southern mer
chant asked an extension from a New
York house a few days ago, when his busi
ness records showed a huge surplus over
liabilities. When the war closed the mer
chant in question met all his anti-war
obligations in ful], and up to a few
months ago continued to meet all his
current liabilities promptly. He now
shows a surplus of $112,000, $80,000 of
which consists of book accounts and the
balance real estate. The book accounts
he values at about $20,000, and thinks it
will be difficult to collect over that
amount. For the real estate he would
be glad to take fifty cents on the dollar,
such has been the shrinkage in values. He,
therefore, asks an extension until next
year. These cases ore said to be numer
ous, but notwithstanding all this, the
Southern merchants, as a class, are be
lieved to be perfectly solvent, and that
the percentage of losses in that section is
less than in either the West or Noith.—

Marmots, Prairie Dogs and Gophers.
The zoological mysteries which are
viewed in Texas “through American spec
tacles," would astonish the scientists of
the effete Old World. We read in the
American of yesterday the following bio
logical intricacy on prairie dogs:
‘The gopher, or marmot, or, as the In
dians call them, prairie dogs, are in great
numbers all 6ver the prairies of Texas.
They are not to be numbered by thou
sands or tens of thousands, but by mil
lions. The only sections in which I did
not encounter any of their little mounds
is on what is called the ‘hog wallow’
prairies, which is probably owing to tlie
fact that”—Jkc., Ac., Ac.
But this is enough. Now, not to con-

me it-was rime 1

gently not to put anything into his mouth
' what he had said, and then dis-
me with his blessing.

Mja SwissHxuf on the Bepubuoan
—Is it strange that the American
people are plundered when honesty is no
mssport to their favor? A people that
labitually chooses the representatives of
its ideas from among the active enemies of
those ideas, and among those who noto
riously profess to espouse them for the
sake of gain, deserves to be robbed, for
they hold out a bribe for dishonesty and
pay the highest price for falsehood. The
which turned its hack upon, all its
s, which disowned the men who or-
’ganized and led it to victory, and substi
tuted for them those who were willing to
serve for a consideration, deserves death
' bout even decent burial; and the He
licon party should be brought to a
speedy and ignominious end for its trea-
g,its greatest and best, for the
juy it heaped upon the good and true 1
men who supplied it with brains and

’he commandant immediately began to

that clerk.
sider the profonnd linguistic causes that
induce the “Indians” to call them, in good
English, “prairie dogs,” let us in a spirit
of love inquire what are the three animals
that are here melted into one ?
The gopher, the marmot and the prairie
dog are not the same thing. They do not
belong to the same species—even to the
le genus. They are less alike than
the horse and the hog. They arejdl bur
rowing animals—and there the likeness
ends. The gopher is an animal of the
genus Pseudostoma, with strongly pro
truding incisors and large cheek poncho?
pending from the comers of the lips to
the shoulders. We have the high au
thority of Audubon for classifying them
with the moles. The marmot is a rodent
of the genus Arctinnyx. whieh so resem
bles the squirrel os to have been classified
with them by Van Der Hoeven. There
are, however, grave reasons for doubting
the accuracy of this classification. The
prairie dog is undeniably of the squirrel
kind, and is scientifically known as the
Spermopltilus ludocicianus, and can only
lie viewed by American spectacles west of
the Missouri river.
It is no reproach to an editor that he is
ignorant of the details of comparative
anatomy; and it is not to be expected
that a gentleman whose knowledge of the
rodent family is derived solely from the
contemplation of the “ printer’s rat,"
should fall into anatomical errors. Some
scientific Texas wag has evidently mis
directed the spectacular scrutiny, and
taught it to see the thing which is not.
We are perfectly willing that the spec-
tades should erect for domestic use a com
posite animal—a triune subterranean mys
tery, consisting of marmot,prairie dog and
gopher, but we cannot accept it as fact.
And we do not object to the gopher, to
“go for” the American; but Simply to
oppose a mild but hopeless disbelief in
its scientific spectacles. —Baltimore Qa-
