the Georgia. Medical Association at their i
noai meeting in Thommavillc, week before
fast, we extract (he following interesting
item:
The greater portion of the morning was
devoted to the consideration of a voluntary
contribution presented and read by Dr~ T. S.
Hopkins, on the subject of Tuberculosis, or
Consumption, as. aflccted by climatic in-
f uepegg.; ^jiwiss sntyecl of most vital in*
portanee to. thousands .throughout Jhe coun
try^ and one in whach^this section is pariicu-
larly interested. The paper presented waa
ably prepared, tho Doctor proving by his own
observation and practice of thirty years, as
well as by thr written b alimony of maay
other physicians throughout the pine woods
section of the Btate. (hat this is the best adap
ted for those unfortunates afflicted by this
terrible disease.
Some rerjr able atid conclusive remarks in
support of (he theory advanced were made
bj^ Drs. H V. M. Miller of At!an(a, Thomas
of Savannah, Ford of Augusta, and Twitty of
Mitchell, all'which were loudly applauded.
Rev. Dr. McKee, of the Presbyterian Cbm cb,
who moved from Indiana to Tbomasville
sop.e six months or more, was, upon motion,
invited lo give his views upon (he subject,
which he did in a brief address, giving it his
most earnest support, as he was a living il
lustration of the beneficial effects of (his re
gion opon this particular disease Dr White
of Miliedgeville, presented a resolution in
substance that if the climate failed to rare
them, they would be hospitably entertained
as lod£ as they lived ! The resolution hav
ing been amended by Dr Miller, that the As
sociation folly endorsed the views set forth
by Dr. Hopkins was passed unanimously.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
I see in the Albany News the following ex
tract from the Telegraph and Messenger:
’‘Again, in reference to the L nngdale fer-
tilizer, a very reliable article of English man
ufacture, which is represented in Macon by
Mr. Wa. McKay, ‘and which is advertised in
this paper, an analysis made some weeks ago
by Prof. White showed the value of this
compound at considerably less than the mar
ket price; but a more recent analysis by
Prof. White, bearing date the 24tb inst.,
makes the Langdale worth more than in
charged for it, thus,” etc.
Which, as it is not in accordance with the
facts of the case, and as it .tends to throw
discredit upon the work undertaken by this
Society, and to cast reflection upon Prof.
White’s efficiency, I request you to correct
as follows: There are two kinds of the
Langdale fertilizer—.one called the * *Lang-
dale guano,” the other the “Langdale com
plete guano.” Prof. White made one analy
sis, only, of each kind of this fertilizer, and
estimated their values, respectively, at $36.
26 and $66 10 per ton. Prof White ha? not,
therefore, as ybn state, made a more recent
analysis of this fertilizer, correcting the first
analysis made by him. The oirculars issued
from this office fully make the distinction in
the names of the two brands.
I am, very truly, etc,,

Ex-Uollector Dockrcy, of Jackson
ville, in Trouble In Cuba*
Key West, April 10, —A letter from Ha
vana says Fred A Dockrey, formerly United
States Collector at Jacksonville, arrived here
lately from Key West. He remained for sev
eral weeks, and then left for Santiago de
Cuba. It was rumored then that Dockrey
was on a mission for the owners of embar**
goed property, but the rumor has not been
confirmed. Last Friday Dockrey presented
himself to the American Consular Agent at
Nuevitas, representing himself os coming
from the interior. The Consular immediately
took him to the Governor, and the Governor
referred the matter to Portello, Commanding
General of Puerto Principe, who ordered the
arrest of both. The Consul was subsequently
released by order of Portello, but Dockrey
was detained as a prisoner, papers compro
mising him having been found on his person.
His trial is going on, bat the result is not
known, bdt be was alive on the 7th inst. If
he be found guilty of communicating with the
insurgents, he will very probably be exc
cuted.
Dockrey is a carpet bagger.
Grant’s Position on the Currency
Question.
As any bill passed by Congress on the sub*
jeet of currency will have to risk the chances
of a Presidential veto, the exact position of
the IP resident on* this subject is eageily
sought. The New York HeralJ, which is
violently opposed to inflation has a special
from*Washiogton, which- assumes to set forth
the President’s views. It says:
“The President will approve the bill fix
ing the limit of Uoited States notes for circu
lation at $400,000,000 and increasing.the Ra
tional banking circulation to t he same amount,
it will be urged by those favoring a veto that
the existing laws is sufficient to cover the le
gal tender, and that $25,000,000 of the- cir
culation authorized by the act of June 12,
1870, to be withdrawn from the New England
and New York, national banks, ought first td
be distributed before additional registration
is hail on the subject. To Ute first argument
the President answers that'a. veto of the bill
on the ground that the existing law provides
for the use ot$400 000,000 would be to leave
the question still in dispute, as shown during
the protracted debate in the Senate, while
the right claimed and exercised under the
existing law would still be maintained by the
Treasury Department. He could not veto the
bill fir such a reason. In regard to the
redistribution of the $25,000,000 of national
banking currency, it would be optional, he
supposed, with the Comptroller of the Curren
cy to redistribute that amount, or issue from
the additional amount proposed. His views
upon inflation hsvs been misunderstood. He
certainly Was opposed to any increase of the
volume of legal tenders above $400,000,000.
but to acknowledge that the law did not ul«
ready provide for this amount would be to
stultify the administration, and wherein the
friends of the administration could hope for
sach a confession of weakness he bad not
teen able to discover. He had been tuld that
in the very sect inns of the country where
there was now an excess of national banking
j»ilal, if a free banking law should be enac-
teJ, New England and New York capitalists
were ready to avail themselves of this privU
lege. If other parts of the country demanded
more banking capital, and coaid furnish the
necessary securities, it ought to be their
right to have it. The sooner the subject was
disposed of the better it would be for the
whole country
Does the gentle reader not know him?. As
he pursues his newspaper, which has now be
come the history of every day, Sundays not
excepted, does he not recognize in the detail
ed report of the speech, or sermon, or pray
er, the religions acrobat, thimble-rigger,char
latan? Is there no name—say, Mawworm,
Pecksniff, Joseph Surface—which he often
sees in bis paper, and which suggests to’him
one thing only, and that thing humbug?
Does he never find himself in a public meet
ing at which he hears a speech fall of igno
rance and denunciation, atoning for its folly
by.its fury, and giving the quasi-sanction of
religion to the absurdest crudities and to
suggestions equally sanguinary and silly ?
Does he not know that the orator really
evil nothing.means, indeed, nothing whatever
except to make himself a little conspiciona,
to produce momentary applause, to be men
tioned in the moruing papers—in a word, to
advertise himself ? And when the scientific

ing and sneering at religion ? Or, if the .gen
tie reader strays into a church and finds a
in the pulpit evidently ptra : ning to say
something either in sermon or grayer, which
will be odd enough, or grotesque enough, or
startling enough, to be seized by a sensa
tional reporter lo be printed in a newspaper,
something which is plainly meant to give the
speaker a little notoriety, does it not occur
that he is listening to a religious charlatan ?
When religious socieries seek first for a
preacher who will ‘draw,’ they promote char
latanism. The groutid-and-lofiy lumber pre
sents himself, aud the crowd comes to gape
and Starr. The whole affair is no longer re
ligious. Having built a costly church, the
society inus* pay for it aud as (be payment
depends upon the crowd and the crowd upon
the attraction, there must be au attraction
suitable to the tastes cf the crowd. Knowing
that his ‘attractiveness’ or power, to ‘draw’
is the real tenure of his posit on. why shoull
the att raction be b amed because he constant v
tries to leap'highrr and jump further? There
is no religious charlatan a "t ns moment who
does not know that, if tie should stop his
trick* to-morrow, he would be thought to
have become lame and commonplace, and he
tvould feel that his position was in dauger.
oor fellow ! there is uothing for it but leap*
iog hi/her and jumping further. The moral
effect of the religious charlatan is most de
pressing. The simple seeker who bears his
Stage thunder, his flippaat familiarities with
the Divine counsels, his unsparing denuncia
tions of sinners, his delight in depicting a
theatrical hell with all the approved ‘proper-*
ties,* and the eagerness with which be plung
es others into it, while he as>umts his own
high favor with hekven, inevitably asks,
*What kind of heaven can it be which this
sanctimonious popinjay is an emba>sador, ind
what Divine truth can be properly interpre
ted by such a harlequin V The simple seek
er measures the charlatan by the stnndard of
the Master and contrasts with him the lovely
portrait of the true disciple, in tho Deserted
Village. He things cf John Wesley in the
foundry, of George Fox under the tree, of
Roger Williams in his boat, of Dr. Channing
in his pulpit, of George Whitfield upon the
common; of the sublime heroism and self*
sacrificing and sufferings of the saints, young
and old; of the simple fidelity and purity
and earnestness and modesty of the Christain
character and life in the new days as in the
old, in the familiar circumstances of this time

The clown in the circus is amusing, but the
Pantomimic Efforta that Made the Ply
mouth Congregation Laugh.
Front the San, of Monday ,2d March.
Mr Beecher preached last evening upon
the ^difficatty of acquiring correct religious
habits, and the comparative ease of main
taining them when once they have become
second nature. “Many look upon religion,”
he said, “as an insurance policy agaiust
final loss by fire.” He described that kind
of religion so funnily that the congregation
laughed outright. “They go to church every
Sunday,” he said, pulling h s coat close
around him, drawing his face down dolo
rously, and rolling up his eyes “The hymns
are doled out-to them, a gosd, sound, dry
is preached to them, and the most
eloquent passage of all'is their going out.
They attend prayer meetings too—mosi dis-
mal prayer meetings.” Here his lower jaw
• ipped, more of the whitei of his e.;es

Repnbiican Disintegration.
The Connecticut Election Analyzed.
The Bosto a n Advertiser, the leading Repub
lican organ in Massachusetts, offers some
striking comments on the late Connecticut
election. It says:
The papers which are very anxious to make
out their proposition that the Connecticut’
election contains no admonition to the Repub
lican party say that the Democrats carried
the State because Republicans stayed at home.
Not to discuss the question whether that fact,
if it be true, is not a significant one, let us
see what foundation there is for it. The ag
gregate vote this year is larger than that for
1869. 1870, or 1873 The vote in 1872, pres-
dential year, exceeded it by 1,003; that of
1871 exceeded it by 3.175. .Had this last
number been added to the Republican vote
this year it would still have been more than
four thousand votes shorter than the Repub
lican strength iu 1571, and it would have left
the Republican ca:.didale 3 507 below Mr
Ingersoll. The lesson is much more striking
when we examine the returns closely. In the
city of New Haven, where Mr. Harrison re
sides, there was a very exceptional and re
markable exhibition of bis popularity. The
Republicans gained 1.77S votes, while the
Democrats lost 1,423. But for this the defeat
of the Republicans Would have been still
more overwhelming. Taking out the city of
New Haven, which is always Democratic, the
vote of the last three years would have stood
as follows:
Repnbiican. Democratic. Plurality.
1872.. ....42.469 39,858 2.581 R
1873 37,474 39.525 2,051 D
1874.. ... 36,193 42 637 G 180 D
When the vote of one party falls off and
that of the other party increases, there is as
suredly some reason to suspect that men have
changed their political association. In this
rase the Democratic vote was larger by some
hundreds than that given for the last Demo
cratic candidate for President, while Mr Har
rison’s vote in spite of the great gain in bis
own city, is more than ten thousand.- below
that given to Grant in 1872. If this teaehes
nothing, it would be useless te look to eiec- I
- '
tion returns for lessons.

Oriffin of lie -Printer’s DctII,’*
When Aldas Manutias set up in business
as a printer, in Venice, he came into posses**
si on of a little negro boy. ThU boy was soon
known all over the city as “the little black
devilfor, at that time.'negroes were not
often seen in Venice, and some of the most
ignorant people believed him to be either an
embodiment or* au emissary of Satan, who
aided Aldos in the work of his .profession.—
One day, Manuliu*, desiring to dispel this'
strange and spreading opinion, displayed the
imp publicly to the poorer classes, making
this short but characteristic speech : “Be it
known to you and to all Venice, that I, Aldns
Manutins, printer to the Holy Church and
the Doge, have this day made exposure to all
of the printer's devil. And if any think he is
not, like us. flesb.and blood,, they may come
and'j'tneA him, and they will find that, tho’
he is black, he is human.”

The Supreme Coarts of Louisiana, on the
6th inst., decided that the bonds issued to
the New Orleans, Mobile- and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, amonoting to $2,500,000,
are null and void. These bonds were issued
r _ in conformity with an act of the Louisiana
Legislature, which provided that in lieu of
an appropriation of bonds, on second , mort
gage, for every ten miles, at the rate of $12.
500 per mile, there should be Issued $2 500,'
000 of bonds, the consideration of which was
the giving to the State a certificate of 23,000

“There are some comfortabfc things
snwood, but none iu one of these mcct-
;s. They go through the exercises :-ol
nly, and the brethren try to say ft
thing—U ey do say the same things they
have been saying for twenty years. - Then
the services are mercilessly cut short, and
they go gloomily home.”
After describing true religion as «
thing independent of forms and catcchbms,
Mr. Beecher illustrated the process of its
practical acquirement. He held an invisi
ble fiddle; fingering the sitings with one
hand, drawing the bow with the o:her, and
adjusting the imaginary instrument u
his chin, while he said.* “Have yon
seen a boy trying to learn to fiddle? I don’t
wonder they call those strings catgut. I
should say that the spirits of all the dead
old cats were in them. But when the boy
masters it—” stopping short, he commenced
to fiddle gracefully; like a gtol violinist.
Thea he showed how a man learns to set
type, the desk furnishing the case, from
wh*ch he slowly and awkwardly carried the
letters to « suppositious composing stick,
spellivg out au libly s-h-a-d. When the con
gregation had stopped laughing, lie gave the
rapid motions of the same man after his trade
bad been learned.
I was taught elocution/* he said, “al
though you might not think it. I was drilled
in al the gestures.” lie made the prescribed
gestures, and strnrk the attitudes in awk
ward bm rapid succession, and then did
them gracefully, in the style of a spaeker lo
whom they had become habitual and un
strained. “When we try to be graceful,” he
said, “we can’t be. All (hose things come
by long and Persia:ent usuage, and then
wMuut thought. V -
In the country where a koard six inches
wide is laid in the mad. a man will walk it
without effort and uevtr Step-off.** Taking
his place al one side of the p'atform, he
walked easily in an exact line to the other
sde, with his hands in his pockets and his
eyes wandering carele-sly. “Now,” he went
on, “put that board at a height of fifteen
feet, and not one man tn a dozen oair walk
t he length of It without falling off.” .Taking
his position as before, he fixed his eyes in
front of him as though on the elevated board,
looked scared, and commenced the imagina.
ry passage. Wavering and balancing with
his arms extended, he with difficulty got
half way across, and then stumbled as though
falling. The people laughed ont loudal the
elaborately perfect pantomime.
The greatest hit, however, was the droll
a^oor man’s farm* The counterfeit severity
cf the miser in demanding payment, tho
fright of the debtor, the blanducss of* the
miser ^presenting the cancelled document,
and the[joyous antics of-the debtor’s wife
and children, were all produced with the
skill of a. trained comedian. Finally, when
Mr. Beecher as the reformed miser, with a
benevolent smile on his face, mounted his
horse and rode off—bending his parted knees
and swaying his body in exact imitation of a
rider, and cutting behind with an Imaginary
whip—everybody laughed nntil the tears
canie.
Reverend Henry Ward Beecher says on the
subject of dancing: “It is wicked when it is
wicked, and not wicked when it is not wick
ed. In.itself it has no more moral character
than walking, wrestling, or rowing. Bad
company, untimely hoars, evil dances, may
make the exercise evil; good company, whole
some hours, and home influences, may make
it a very great benefit.”. This is, at least,
the rational view of the case. .
The Penitentiary Convicts.
We announced last week that several gen
tlemen in this county had leased one hun
dred of the convicts for the term of five years.
On last Friday afternoon some little excite
ment prevailed on our streetir. on accounbof
their arrival here. A squad' was brought
from Atlanta, and another from Augusta.—
They were all chained, and made quite a
jingling, and there was amongst our citizens
aod the ladies a general looking out and
peeping round the corners, -
As along the main, street, .
* March’d the chain’d feet, d
With their clanking sounding nearer.
They were marched out; to the Fair Ground
where they were quartered for the night —
Ou Saturday Messrs Smith, Riddle and Tay
lor divided them, each taking a portion of
them. .Among (hem was the notorious Bill
Bennett; he. was heavily chained to prevent
his escape. He is flow with Col. Smith, as
we learn.
J)r Harrison Westmoreland is also one of
the hundred; was sentenced for ten years for
shooting; with intent to kill. Dr Redwinr,
two or three years ago, in Atlanta. .He is
said to be an excellent physicia’n, and was
once prominent in the medical profession.—
He stands rather to liimaelf, “Grand, gloomy
and peculiar” amid the motley crew.
They were generally in a lively humor, and
seemed not to care for their condition. We
do not doubt that they all fully deserve the
imprisonment and chains which they bear,
but it is rather touching to ones feelings of
humanity to behold them in such ’durance.—
We know not how others may view it, buL in
the language of the great Patrick Henry,
“Give me liberty, or give me death.”
