Sheep Raising.
Mr. Francis Fontaine gives to the New
York Commercial Bulletin some facts
and figures about sheep husbandry in
Georgia, viz: The price of wool in
Georgia is forty cents a pound. The
average annual cost of keeping sheep is
only 54 ceuts. The average cost of rais
ing a pound of wool in Georgia is only
G cents, while the average price for which
the unwashed wool is sold is 33J cents,
or 274 cents net The average yield of
unwashed wool to the sheep is 3.44
pounds, which, at 27J cents net, gives an
average clear income in wool from each
sheep of 94 cents. The average price
received for lambs sold to the butcher in
Georgia is $1 87. The average price of
stock sheep is $2 58 per head. The aver
age price of mutton is $2 75 per head.
The average profit annually received from
money iuvested by sheep in Georgia, de
spite the ravages of dogs, is 63 per cent
The next Legislature will probably create
a dog law to protect sheep. An owner
of 3,500‘sheep in Georgia declares that
his sheep cost him annually 14 cents per
head, and that his clear profit is 90 per
cent, on the money so invested. No food
or shelter is required at any time du
ring the year.
It is said that John Sherman's agents
are experiencing some difficulty in hold
ing his colored delegates. They pro
pose to confine them in a house full of
eatables and drinkables, on their arrival
at Chicago, and guard all entrances
against Grant men. Mr. Sherman has
spent a little fortune for free drinks, free
lunches and passes for his colored boys,
but they are said to be decidedly shaky.
The Grant men claim that they will
break away from the “great American
financier" at the first whoop for Grant in
the Exposition building. Howard Car-
roll, of the New York Times, who has
been on Sherman's tracks in the South,
says the Secretary has resorted to the
most disreputable means to bamboozle
the colored brethren into pledges for
himself. Many letters from Sherman
have been found in the South stating
that Grant would not run and intended
to leave the field open for him.
Another Rise in Beer.—The Phila
delphia brewers announce their purpose
to raise the price of their product one
dollar a barrel in a few days, making the
price $10 per barrel. This will make
the second advance within the present
year, the price having been raised from
$8 lo $9 a barrel little more than a month
ago. The brewers base their action
upon the present high prices of ice, malt,
feed, labor and other commodities which
arc necessary to their business, and con
tend that unless the advance is conceded
by the trade their business will cease to
be a profitable one.
The New York Tribune, which contin
ues to charge that the “Confederate
Brigadiers’’ are making “raids on the
Treasury,” should call attention to the
fact that Senator Conkling insisted last
year that his friend Conover's proposi
tion for $30,000 to survey a ship canal
route across Florida, should be complied
■with. That was an extensive Republi
can raid. It was nothing, however, to
the millions the Tribune annually de
mands for Hell Gate and Harlem river
gvt New York.
A Threatened Negro Exodus.
The Chicago Inter-Oeean, ultra Radi
cal, has been informed by a Mrs. Laura
Haviland that she had learned from a
Mrs. Elizabeth Comstock that this latter
lady had talked with several of the most
intelligent colored poople in Texas,
Louisiana, Alabama and other States,
and had gathered from them that “if a
Democratic President is elected this year
there will be such an uprising and fleeing
of colored people to the North as was
never before witnessed. 'Instead of
thousands, they will come by the m.l
lion.’ They freely assert that if General
Grant is elected President they ‘will re
main in the South, with the assurance
that he will see that they are protected
in their rights.’ ”
There are a good many reasons for dis
crediting this statement of these two ladies
to the I.-O. paper. It will be remember
ed that while the Southern States were
under carpet-bag and Radical rule, during
Grant's former administrations, Southern
outrages were very numerously reported.
The mills were constantly at work, and
aiway9 just before election time the
Radical press teemed with stones of
slaughters of the innocents by barbarous
Southern whites. Since Radical
control in the South, however,
has happily become a thing of
the past, these outrages have become,
comparatively speaking, unheard of.
We have not had a single “Hamburg
massacre" since South Carolina was re
deemed, while in Louisiana, which was
during Radical days the pet field for the
outrage manufacturers to operate in, not
even an Eliza Pinckston case has keen
reported since the overthrow of the
Packard government To the contrary,
last year the people of Louisiana made
splendid crops, and this year (he pros
pect is that they will be equally pros
perous. Besides this we have the
testimony of no less a personage
than Grant himself that everything
is peace in the South, and that the
barbarous white and persecuted African
are living together as happily and con
tentedly as heart could desire. All this
certainly proves that it is the Radicals
who have failed to protect the negro in
his rights in the South, while under
Democratic rule he has always
enjoyed the inestimable privileges of
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, unmolested and without
fear. Why then the colored race should
desire to get away from the rule of
party under which the}’ have steadily
prospered, and seek to live under one
which, according to Radical testimony,
has never afforded them the slightest
protection, but has deceived, robbed and
plundered them whenever they had them
in their power (ride the “forty acres and
a mule" and Freedman’s Bank swindles),
is indeed a mystery. It is utterly un
worthy of credence.
But this matter may be viewed from
another standpoint, not at all compli
mentary to the man and brother, and
tending to add another link to the chain
of evidence to show that the professions
of love and regard for him by hi3 North
ern Radical friends are all sham and
hypocrisy. It must be borne in.mind
that this story of a threatened negro
exodus from the South to the North is
published to Northern voters to induce
them to vote for a Radical President,
and is evidently held in terrorem over
them to make them believe that if they
fail to secure a third term victory they will
be literally overrun with negro refugees
from this section. We would suppose
from the heart-bleedings over the poor
Africans, alleged to be so frequent
ly suffered by Northern philanthro
pists, that these latter would not only be
ready, but anxious to offer the perse
cuted race homes and asylums. Yet
here the Northern people are virtually
warned, through the columns of an ultra
negropbilist paper, not to elect a Demo
cratic President, lest they be overrun by
millions of negroes. This is, indeed,
the unkindest cut which could be in
Aided upon our colored feliow-citizens.
It is literally wounding them most
grievously in the houses of their friends.
Even should the statements made by
these worthy, but presumably strong
minded, females to the I.-O. paper prove
true, however, we trust the South, at
least, will not be seduced thereby from
its allegiance to the Democratic party.
Not only will our section really be bene
fited by the proposed exodus, since past
experience has shown that only the shift
less and idle of the colored race will
go, while the thrifty and indus
trious will stay; but the South
should not let this opportunity pass to
prove its unselfish devotion to the wel
fare of the Nation. A Radical adminis
tration means extravagance, favoritism,
corruption and ring rule in the land,
while under Democratic auspices, hon
esty, retrenchment and reform, will con
tinuc to be the watchword. Therefore,
exodus or no exodus, we trust and be
lieve that at the close of the polls on the
second of November next the Southern
States will stand recorded solidly in favor
of the Democratic ticket

llelegates to Cincinnati.
The Atlanta Constitution gives the
names of Gen. A R. Lawton, of Savan
nah, Ex-Gov. J. M. Smith, of Colum
bus, CoL Geo. T. Barnes, of Augusta,
and Capt E. P. Howell, of Atlanta, as
those most spoken of for delegates to
Cincinnati for the State at large. It
states also that Senator Hill would like
to be sent to Cincinnati as a delegate, and
that Co!. C. C. Jones, of Augusta,
will probably be presented by his
friends! The Constitutionalist says that
none of the delegates (?) disclose their
preferences, but it is hinted that the
tendency is for Field.” Our content
porary may be right in its surmise as to
the delegates, who are all gentlemen
eminently qualified to represent the
Democracy of Georgia at Cincinnati, but
we think it is an error as to tbeir “ten-
dency for Field. ” Such is not, we are
confident, the tendency of the Demo
cratic voters of Georgia, who are for
Thos. F. Bayard, as Hon. Bardwcll
Slote would sav, by a large majority.
The Fare to the State Convention.
—The Atlanta Constitution learns from
Colonel E. Y. Clarko, Secretary of the
Democratic State Executive Committee,
that the delegates to the Stale Conven
tion, to be held in that city on June 9,
will be charged by the Georgia Road
three cents a mile for round trip rates,
by the State l£oad, one fare; by the Air-
Line, full fare going and at the rate of
one cent a mile returning, and by the
JYest Point Rond, full fare going and
two cents per mile returning The other
roads have not yet been heard from on
this important subject.
The exposition building in which the
Republican National Convention will be
held holds 10,000 people. It has been
prepared for the event at considerable
expense, and has been beautified with
the most ornate decorations. Portraits
of all the great Republican lights will
adorn its walls, and immediately over
the speaker’s stand will be placed a 10x8
feet picture of the late Senator Chandler.
The other portraits arc nine feet in
height. All their arrangements are on a
mammoth scale.
Report Upon Cotton /meets, prepared under
the directions of the Commiasioner of Agri
culture in pursuance of an act of Conf rees
appeared June IS. ISIS, by J. Hznrt Cok-
stocx. Entomologist to the Department of
Agriculture.
Our acknowledgments are due to the
Hod. Wm. G. LeDuc, Commissioner of
Agriculture, for a copy of this report,
aod we now make them.
Dean Swift has said “That whoever
could make two ears of corn or two
blades of grass to grow upon a spot of
ground where only one grew before,
would deserve better of mankind and do
more essential service to his country than
the whole race of politicians put to
gether."
We agree with the Dean, and extend
his aphorism to our own peculiar staple
product, “cotton." By the diffusion of
labor incident to emancipation, and by
the liberal use of fertilizers, our cotton
crops have been largely increased of late
years. But as the supply is increased,
the demand for it increases correspond
ingly; the uses for cotton, not only in
textile fabrics but for other practical
needs, enlarging year by year. Whoever,
then, can make two bales of cotton
where only one was made before, is not
only a general beuefactor, but confers an
especial boon upon the Southern States,
the cotton field of the world.
We say “the cotton field of the world’
—for though cotton can be grown, and
well grown too, in other parts, nowhere
in the world can it lie cultivated with
so much intelligence, and so many ad
vantages, as with us.
Cotton culture is rapidly advancing in
the South as an important branch of
agriculture and science, and, therefore,
whatever studies are especially devoted
to its development should receive our
attention.
The report before us deals with the
enemies, the destroyers, of the cotton
plant and of the bolls. We have ex
amined it critically and with due con
sideration for the justly high reputation
of Professor Comstock in the science of
entomology.
The arrangement of the subjects
treated of in the report is methodical, as
may be seen by tbeir division.
The first chapter treats of classification
and nomenclature.
The second of the past history of the
cotton worm, the statistics of losses and
the cotton worm in other countries.
The third chapter of the habits and
natural history.
The fourth chapter of the theory of
the migratious of the moth.
The fifth chapter of the influence of
the weather.
The sixth chapter of the natural ene
mies of the cotton worm.
The seventh chapter of the remedies.
The eighth chapter of the bibliography
of the cotton worm, and closes the first
part.
The second part treats of the boll woim
as follows:
First chapter on the importance of tl e
subject.
Second chapter on its natural history.
Third chapter on remedies, which
closes the second part.
The third part treats of nectar and its
uses. Theu follow two appendices—one
containing the reports of special agents
and local observers—the other, the list
of correspondents.
All closed with that charm of every
good book, a full and copious index.
Mr. LeDuc has done bis work well.
He sought information from expert,
practical cotton planters, by special
agents, and local observers, and from
men of the highest reputation in ento
mological and kindred sciences. The
information thus gained had been care
fully digested, and critically compared,
and the result is, a report which we can
recommend-to those engaged, or inter
ested, in cotton planting, as a valuable
addition to the science of cotton cultiva
tion. It fairly entitles Mr. LeDuc and
his able co operators in the report to the
commendation of Dean Swift, of “having
done more essential service to their
country than the whole race of politi
cians put together.”
In a printed "note” accompanying the
report, Mr. LeDuc says: "Should any
of your planters desire to obtain a copy
of this work they should apply immedi
ately to their member of Congress or
Senator, in order to secure a copy, as
but a limited number have been printed
by Congress.”

Ijinicr. New York: Charles Sckidneii &

Mr. Lanier’s previous work and the
thoroughness of his special study have
made him a place among the first author!
ties to students of English literature, and
the publication, by a scholar of bis rank,
of an entirely Dew theory of English
prosody would be of great importance in
itself. His book is, however, more than
this. It includes critical studies of the
older English poetry, which bring out
admirably Mr. Lanier's accurate learning
and keen appreciation of his subject,
and hare all the charm of his particu-
lariy attractive style. Finally, with its
striking and suggestive review of the re
lations of music and verse, it opens a
line of thought so original as to make
this volume, if its conclusions are
accepted, the pioneer of a new science
and new methods.

An Important New Law.
A law has been passed by the Legisla
ture of New York and sigDed by the
j Governor, to empower the State, acting
as a trustee, to accept the transfer of de
linquent or repudiated txmds of other
States from her own citizens owning
them, and to bring suit in its own name,
according to the forms prescribed by the
constitution, for the recovery of the de
faulted debt. The interest of New Yotk
in this law is verv great, her citizens
holding claims against defaulting States,
including overdue and unpaid interest,
to the amount of $209,000,000. It
understood that suits will soon be
brought in the Supreme Court of
the United States, in accordance
with this law, on the repudiated
or delinquent bonds of Minnesota and
Virginia. ‘ ’This new law, ” says the Balli
more Sun, “has a curious history. It was
first suggested by Mr. John F. Hume,
formerly editor of the Missouri Democrat,
but the hint was finally put in shape by
General Bradley T. Johnson, of thia city
in an article contributed by him to the
Boston Late Journal. A bill was drawn
up in conformity to it and passed the
New York Legislature in 1878, but Gov.
Robinson vetoed it. La9t summer Mr.
Hume took the same bill to New Hamp
shire and secured its passage by the Leg
islature of that State. But as this stat
ute was thought to be in some measure
inadequate, and as the citizens of New
York were moat largely interested, it
was thought expedient to have another
bill, and the law as it now stands was
prepared by Mr. It S. Ransom, a New
York lawyer, and passed, as has been
related.”
The "Order of tlncinuatns.”
Editor Morning New*: This order
was instituted at the close of the
revolutionary war, and consisted
of seventy-five members. General Wash
ington being the first President: and
from the time of his death the eldest
member of the society has always been
President up to the time of his death
when it was transferred to the next in
age, and so on. The members were at
first all men who had served their coun
try at that time, and it has since de
scended to their eldest sons, grandsons
or nephews. The riband is light blue,
bordered with white, and worn in the
button bole, with a small enamelled eagle
attached. The badge is very beautiful,
and was presented by Marie Antoinette,
the beautiful and unfortunate Queen of
Louis XVI., King of France, to General
Washington. It consists of theAmeri
can eagle in diamonds, bolding in his
mouth a branch of laurel, composed of
emeralds and rubies, which surmounts
the eagle. On the reverse is a beautiful
enamel, in colors, of “Ciocinnalus’
called from the plough by the Ambassa
dors from Rome, with the motto "Vir-
tute et Lahore,” in letters of gold. The
badge is attached to a broad light blue
riband, with white edges, and is worn
by the President alone, across the right
shoulder, when tlie Cincinnati meet, all
others wearing the badge.

8ince Forster’s three-volume life of
Charles Dickens was written many in
teresting letters and reminiscences of
Dickens have been published that throw
further light upon his character, and in
which he appears in a more genial and
less arrogant aspect than in the pages of
Forster. To some extent Mr. lones has
made use of these supplementary mse
terials in this “handy volume," and by
eliminating from it all criticisms on his
novels and controversies with his pub
lishers, has endeavored simply, as he
states, to give a compact biography of
Dickens, showing what he was, rather
than what he did. As far as it was
possible he has made Dickens tell his
own story through the medium of his
letters, and in this way has succeeded, to
some extent at least, in bringing Dickens
as a man closer to the understanding of
the gentrolity of readers than as a
novelist.

Robert A. Morris, clerk to the Librarian
of Congress, presented a check for
$3,300 at the Treasury at half past eleven
o'clock this morning. The money was
to pay the current month’s salaries of
the employes of the library. The check
was presented to Mr. Moffat, the paving
teller, in the cash room. Mr. Moffat
honored it, giving Mr. Morris $330 in
gold, $3:10 in silver, and the balance
i$2,640) in greenbacks. Mr. Morris laid
tbe money on the ledge in front of Mr.
Moffat's wicket and asked for a piece of
paper, with which to wrap up the green
backs. Mr. Moffat said he had none, and
told him to get it from a messenger. He
left tbe greenbacks on the ledge and went
over to Mr. Williams, the paying teller,
and asked for a piece of paper. He had
requested Mr. Smith, of Squier's Bank,
to watch the money for him. Mr. Wil
liams gave him tbe paper, find he came
back and wrapped up the money.putting
rubber bands around it. He then went
to the wagon in which be had come from
the capitol. and handed to the messenger
in it the gold end silver, and told him to
take it to the capitol. He himself re
tained the greenback package. In about
fifteen minutes he came rushing into the
cash room of the Treasury and in
verY excited manner said he bad been
robbed in some way of his money. He
had with him an opened package tbe
same size and shape as the one he hail
left the Treasury with. Instead, how
ever, of its containing greenbacks it bad
in it rblls of red tape, as that article is
put up for use. After getting in the
cars to go to the capitol, he said he
opened the package to see if the money
was all right, but instead of finding legal
tenders in it he found only red tape.
He at first said tli&t tbe exchange in
packages had been made in the cash
room. A gentleman of the Secret Ser
vice, however, saw him wrap up his
money and go out with it. Morris, who
was greatly excited, then said that the
exchange might have been made in
restaurant where he stopped to
get a drink of water. While drink
ing the water, he said, he laid the
package on the bar, and some one might
have slipped tbe bogus one in its place.
He did stop at Losekam’s restaurant,
just above Willard’s, to get a whisky
smash, but no water. That is where
the exchange was probably made, but
whether with the connivance of Morris
is not known. The secret service men
and the city detectives are working op
the case, and think everything points to
Morrl9 as the man who, with the assist
aoce of a confederate, got away with the
$2,640 Morris has been somewhat
wild of late, it is said, and has been
known to hare done a good deal of
gambling.
It was noticed that he did not come
into tbe bouse by the regular entrance,
but by tbe side door. While drinking at
the bar there was a man on bis right, but
the package was on his left. The bogus
package was wrapped up in tbe same
kind of paper as the genuine, and in the
same form. After leaving the restaurant
Morris got into a car going towards the
capitol.
An Illinois woman went into the show

arms, but plain marks of the chisel were
found elsewhere.
RAILROADS.
The Danner of Federal Interference
with Their Hanaaenaent and Con
trol.
Hon. Henry C. Lord is the author of a
pamphlet, in which he argues against the
enactment of laws by tbe Federal Gov
ernment interfering with the rights of
the owners of our various highways of
commerce in the management of their
property and business. W e regret that
limited space prevents our giving the en
tire argument Mr. Lord says:
The State creates the corporation by
general laws or special charters, and then
leaves the individual owners to manage
its affairs, to bear the burden of its losses,
or enjoy tbe fruits of its prosperity. It
is simply an association of shareholders,
contributing private capital to a common
fund, and managing a common property
through officers selected by themselves.
In this sense, & corporation may justly
be regarded as a person, and is so treated
by law, held to the same obligations,
bound by the same contracts, and respon
sible in damages in the same way. It
deals with a shipper, a consignee, or s
laborer in its service, precisely as a man
ufacturer or merchant deals with a cus
tomer; is amenable to tbe same processes
of law, tried by the same rules of evi
dence, and bound by tbe same judgment
of court. Tbe iucrease of production
required greater facilities of transporta
tion, and the power of steam was dis
covered and put to its wonderful use
upon the land and sea. Then the ex
press system followed as a necessary ad
junct to the railroad, and to transact a
peculiar and vastly responsible business,
which the latter cou'.d not undertake or
accomplish, and the two systems have
become so interwoven and essential to
one another that they cannot be sepa
rated. The States, by a generally wise
policy of local legislation, have encour
aged public education, and both private
and corporate enterprise, and they have
found their mutual interests so com
mingled in every kmd of trade and com
mercial intercourse that legislation has
been especially directed to strengthen
these bonds of union and harmony.
Hence railroads have been permitted to
connect at State lines, to tun inter State
trains, to make their rates between tbe
most distant points, and the system is so
perfect that a traveler may ride from
New England to Colorado, or Texas,
without knowing when he crosses from
one Stale into another, and his freight
may be hauled between tbe same termini
without being charged with a single local
tax. The Federal Government does not
interfere, and would hare no right to do
so, but avails itself of tbe offered facili
ties m tbe carriage of mails, troops and
treasure, just as a private citizen ships
bis own property. Express organizations
are created in a similar way for a coma
ponding object, and with like resu ts
beneficial to tbe whole public. They
are slike the real offspring of private
capital and skill, and not interfered with
by the State, except as they violate tbeir
charters or laws applicable to them, just
as to any man doing business on his own
account. The United States constitute
an essentially commercial nation. Its
people are mainly devoted to agriculture,
to mechanical and manufacturing pur
suits, and to invention, and hence, by
logical necessity, to trade and transpor
tation. To handle the latter requires
not ODly the facilities now in use, but
the wit of man is employed to devise
otner appliances and more perfect meth
oda of transit, both upon the land, the
rivers, the lakes and the sea, and under
our system of education and competi
tion tne skill is not wanting. Neither is
the executive power and energy in any
way lacking, for the men of this day are
impelled to every exertion, both by the
desire of gain and the stimulus of ambi
tion for personal reputation and power.
Our interior commerce has been com
paratively unfettered by unwise Federal
and State intervention." It has lieen as
free within and through the Stales as the
currents of air above them, and hence
it has accomplished great results both to
tlie nation and to the individual citizen
and it will continue to meet the demands
made upon it if left alone, and companies
and associations in tlie conduct of its
management are left free to deal with
one another and witli tlie merchants and
shippers of the country, as the latter deal
among and between themselves. But
once let a State interfere and assert her
right to manage the corporations of her
own creation, by her own officers and
servants, and every highway of com
merce would become a mere political
machine, run by a party for party pur
loses. Every end and aim of a wise
ocal government would be defeated, aDd
tbe result would lie disastrous to every
citizen, and tbe 'end fatal to tbe State.
Who can doubt it cither in the light of
history, his own experience or that of
ordinary common sense? No considers
tion would tempt any State to make the
experiment unless it might be for the
time being under the control of some
dominant party desiring at all hazards
to prolong its life; does not in any way
deny or contravene the right of a State,
by general or special laws, to define the
condition under which corporations may
be created, and the business to which
they are to confine themselves: leaves
their management to the shareholders and
owners, to whom it legitimately belongs,
by whom done it can be made profitable
to the private investor or useful to the
general public. But tbe danger in this
couDtry is not from State enactments
directed against their own avenues and
methods of commerce. It will come, if
it comes at all, from auother source, and
in an effort on the part of the General
Government, through Congress, to inter
fere with inter-State traffic even to the
point of regulating it
