No man was bet ter calculated to giro Texas and its wl me a fair trial than he. His words are cooxeqnently of practical importance and may be called Siting. AFTLES OF OOUS IB PICTOKES OF SILVEB ” We found tbe distinguished returnee re clining on a conch in bis room. A box of pills sat near. -Colonel, can yon gire me for publics, li an some reasons why a Georgian should iint'cunfcnfc to Texas*” Well, sir." replied tbe Colonel, with bis characteristic, eire yon a in myself.— reason for not lack oat tkere. didn’t i reminded myself of went to California to make fortune digging gold, and wonnd np by sashing clothes for the miners nntll be bail eeooped together enongh money to bring that badly, with a were in- business, it criminal of work the cattle drovers These were call- ad good patrons. Bnt it circuit that ever a man It would take yon a month to reach yonr life was in perpetual yon pressed a prosecution fellow, he would shoot yon. or if be didn't want to do it himself, might for $S by some dirty and un- distinguishable Mexican. I felt that it was not the sort of business that a man at my of life sbonid try lo build np. Con sequently I gave it up. I went to San An tonio and Ibonght I would try it there. I commenced editing a daily paper, and was doing vary well, when I found that TBE DEPRESSING. ENERVATING CLIMATE killing my iife. lo that city there is Actually ten months of summer every year It Jost takes all the energy out of a man.— White there I met a friend, who had been to school to mein Southwestern Gcfrgia. and he told me if I wonld go to Dallas. I could get a good school. I went to Dallas, and sooo bad a school that wonld have paid about $1,800 a year, bnt I found every thing so nosettled that I determined to come back to Georgia. And here 1 am. heartily bome-sick. and determined never to play truant to this great old State again.” SpXE WORDS THAT SBODD BE FRAMED. -Wbat are tbe advantages that Georgia has over Texas?” Why. nearly every advantsge. In tbe flrst place, let me tell yon this. When a finds it bard lo get along at his own home, he fancies that be is suffering from tbe effect of a local depression, and that if be were elsewhere he wonld do a fine bus- He forgets that tbe same depression exists everywhere, and that a man has to ■cratch like the mischief for a living no matter where lie is. Now when lie goes to Texas, it is gen- ally In response to the desire to go and 'grow np with (lie country.” This is all folly. He will find when he gets there that lie is in a miserable society. H is chaotic, uncertain, shifting and transient. Instead of meeting with a warm reception, he finds that be is looked on with a sort of suspM cion, and simply because he is one of a boat of strangers that have come lain the stale from everywhere, many of them the wont of adventurers, and most of them without conclusive ciedentiols. This spir- OF SOCIAL AMD BUSINESS DISTRUST parade* nearly every town in Texas, and naturally, loo. became there no man knows who is bis neighbor, or where he came from, or what his character is. Everything is loosely thrown together. •'You can hardly imagiue bow Ibis xpir. it of suspicion weighs a stranger down, and keeps him bock in bis business. It is a terrible load to struggle against. The amount of work, pul to any sort of in Georgia. WILL GIVE StCCB IIKTTEK RESULTS than it would in Texas. I am certain of this. You then have the advantage of bet ter society, mid ull the social comforts RE UTMOST. done thfcre er four horses ^.Is a huge 18 rrow like a gut • to follow one flp. 01 the plow polled a fool ■oil onl lucre, had a thousand times better stay in Georgia than go to Texas. II he has cafiltai be can use it mocb moro safely, anil quite as profitably here, as there. If bef baa not sod desires to get work, bis chsnfces for a good job are a dozen here to one pot there.” A WORD ABOUT TBE’FARMINO INTERESTS. "Is Georgia a better farming country than Texas?" "It is not so rlclti. bnt it is much more safer. A °ta a vlli sometimes make ns muci* t** one Y ear *h Texas as he can make tu three here, bnt it, the aggregate ot ten year's work he wonid make more in Geor gia than he would >uake in Texas. “The soil there ta wonderfully rich. Ii is six feet deep and is very fertile. A sack of guano Isa curinUy out there. It is hardly ever used. ."But this rich soil is un- certain ns arabl^ Ishd. If there is the slightest drought ittoiighens so that you can't work it If It ^happens to he a little rainy it gets so bogJj£ that it would swal low a saddle-bUtfhct. For instance, 1 know a man wbo. last year, made twenty bales of cotton on 1$ acre*. •This year on lb* same land be had a good crop and on Saturday come in town to get liaoda to gather it. It commenced raining and bloty D g on Sunday, and he got hardly a bale ol storm cotton from the whole twenty-fiye acres. If you hit the seasons exactly right you will get rich. If you miss it a bairVbreadUi in cither dircc* lion you will become B bankrupt. As an - evidence of tba' a i lcer t s i D i v of the crops, 1 will say that When I went out there, corn was a drug on the market at 20 to 25 ceuts a bushel. Not- tes*. woitti 70 cents a busli cts In DutTSs.-morc'ttian ii u worth here. I believe. These sudden changes make everything ont there uncertain and feverish. There Is nothing settled and safe. It is a place that a man with a family and respectabili ty should certainly avoid. TBE COMPARATIVE BMPEKSES. "Is living cheaper here than in Texas ?” "Yes. sir ; I find that I can board my family here cheaper than 1 can out there, and at the same time get better fare and accommodation ; ont there, there ore "SO many strangers that everything is pitched at a transient rate, and it is consequently cheaper here j .lust ns we started to leave Col. Spencer stopped us and said : I have nothing personally to say against Texas. 1 was treated kindly there, and made a great many warm friends. There are many pleasant associations connected with Texas, and I should have liked very inacli to have made it my home. But I gave it a fair trial. It failed in all the essential elements of a home, and 1 felt it to be my duty to warn my friends and tbe public in general again-t making the mistake that has proved so disastrous to me. If yon had seen what I have seen, you wonld readily perceive tbe uecessity for making some efforts to stop the euormnns tide of immigration that is Bowing lowaids Texas. I never dreamed that it was hat/ so serious. All through nurthern Texss tbe Iraius'are literally jammed with immi grants pouting into the state. The seats are full, the aisles of tbe cars are packed, and children are pinned in between tbe seats I have seen, since I left here, hun dreds of sneb trains. Tbe immigrants are, most of them, tbe poorest of people, hav ing barely enough money with which to reach their destination, i have seen moth ers sick and fainting, with a batf-dozeu hungry, crying children with them, and husbands, depressed and discouraged, and not a week's living assured them after they hod ridden ont their ticket. My heart always bled for those people. Nine-tenths of them that stay in Texas do so because they have not the money to gel home on. and eke nut a miserable existence—away from home and friends and kindred—de spondent and almost helpless. In Dallas. Snnday two weeks, I saw a train of thirty-two wagons from Missouri file into the town. The occupants were in good spirits, and were going further west, By a wonderful mischance, they met about fifteen wagons of emigrants going back to Missouri. They wonld listen to nothing, however, hut pushed on ahead. Col. Hpencer was very earnest in his rer ■narks, and said “While I am not going to bo officious, I am going to do my very best to keep people in Georgia. It is a great, and often a fatal mistake, for a man to try Texas aa a remedy against bard time! at home.” AT BOMB FOR OOOD. Col. Spencer is now at home for all tinir. He will never leave Atlanta agaiu He •ays he is satisfied that it is tbe best city in America, and he intends to go to work and build up hit shattered fortunes right here. We are heartily glad to welcome Col Spencer back, ilia energy and ability here won him a heat of admirer* here, and he is certain to achieve a success. His head is level on Texas, as it is near, ly everything else. -Is Texas a better errantry for a young man lliau Georgia ?*' it is not. In lire first place, Uie most of the young men who want to go there have little or no capital. They conse quently desire to gel work as soon as they get there. To do lb's is almost totally itn possible. The stale is simply overrun with young men desirous of obtaining work.— Yon never asw anything like it. They can get literally nothing to do. It may be po* sibla to get a Job on a form, but I tell yon Fur peppermint drops, mix onr pound of powdrrrd anil sifted loaf sugar with lire whites of three or four eggs; add ten or elee drops oil of pe» pcrmiut; beat well drop on writing paper. Dry hu'.knheat flour, if repeatedly np plied, will entirely remove the wont greas* spots on carpets or any other woolen cloth, and will ananer as well as Frroeh chalk for grease spots oa silk.

Absolute protection Is abaoluto prohjbi tion Absolute protection is. therefore, the destruction of revenue. A tarifijs high aa to shut oil all importation Is a lurid' squarely opposed to all revenue, '(b principle of protection is at war with rev- eude. To give revenue—to give much revenue, something, or rattier a good mauy things, must come In pretty freely. Ti get tho largest revenue, we roust abandon the policy of protection entirely. It is beginning to be epprehended, that the petting of our industries, at this period of our history, is a luxury which, as u great, impoverished people, we cannot affoid. Wo have learned,at least, that pro- teclton cannot keep industries ative wlreu the market for lliclr products is insuffi cient, and that we are paying much more than we ought to pay for goods, while tin man who produces them is not benetluad Some oi our industries, which have born ulteily ovcr-sltadowed by protection, have died out. An illustration of the working of protection, in increasing the cost ol goods to the people, can be found in almdst everything we wear. A silk hat. for in stance, which ought to cost, at its best, he more than five dollars, now costs eight The duty of sixty, pdr ceut, on the pi nil’ aud other silk employed makes the silk hat a luxury, and nobody is benufilted We pay three dollars ni'jro lor the hat Ilian wo onght to pay ; the hatter himself ddes not at all Incre-c hia profits, while he finds his business cut down to its lowest mark compatible with continued existence, fin iroly rich people will buy silk hats at the price. A low tariff on the materials—say » tariff of twenty percent, would iucreose die revenue said so cheapen the liat tlyii everybody could afford to buy it, and thin set all tho nianufsiclurers at work.—Forty millions of. people, with every mail, anil woman of the number heavily taxed In keep alive our woolen industries, white their gates are shut down and their wort- men unemployed, do not form s very t-tQ-- fyiog spectacle. The peeple have petted the manufacturers n good mauy years They have hulunitted to a taxation for tips purpose that none but a prosperous people could stand. Now it seems to us that ’it is time for Uie people to take care of them, selves—time for the fostering mother to push the birds out of the nest. ! We have built a watt around us—a wall of protection. Our manufactories are lying still because they have no market. They can get no market outside, for. with raw materials taxed, as they arc iu many instances, they caunol compete in the markets of tho world.—Agaiu, they con get no markets outside, because what those markett have to give us in exchange is shut out by "protection." Trade is a game of give aud take; aud we cannot shut out the products of other nations If we hope to sell them our own. We ask for no free trade that will be Inconsistent witli a tariff that will give us the largest revenue; but it seems to us that the policy of taxiug the people of the Uuilcd Staley for the protection of iuduilries that have became bankrupt under the policy, or have ceased to Uud a sufficient market at Lome, is about played ouL—Hciubnkr. The IfffluBceslhat Defeated €«l. II. H. Jones’ Nontlnaiiiin for the Legislature- Suvauujkh Morning Newis^D c. lbth, 1877. Macon. Ga , Dec. 15, 1877. Editor Mo.ning Newt: Inasmuch as the Constitution and other papers following in its wake are disposed to tivit Colonel Jones of the Macon Tele graph over his defeat In the primary elatv tion in Bibb county, it may not be amiss to give the real reasons which lead to that de feat. It is true that Colonel Jones was braiigh j out by his friends npon the idea that hit services in bchalfof Millcdgeville, in tfic bitter coutesl then waging, entitled him tit some recognition at the hands of the pen* pie of the county. He consented to run only at the earnest solicitation of n largo number of the representative citizens of the community. It became evident, however, early in tbe campaign, that he would Ira compelled to encounter Uie bitter hostility of a very formidable clement iu Bibbcoun- ty politics—I mean the workingmen.— These, as a etas-, were arrayed almost sol- idly against hhu, and contributed most to secure bis defeat. The opposition of this class arose principally front the course which Colonel Jones saw fit to pursue to ward the Printers’ Union, during the strikil which your readers may remember took place some mouths ago iu the office of Ibo Telegraph & Mcsseuger. Believing that tbe Union was alike pernicious both to the printers and tlieir employers, he took strong ground agaiust it. and by Ills ener gy and pcrsererauco succeeded in exclud ing it from Ids office, aud securing non union printers instead. Tbe leading mcma hers of the Printers' Union arc also lend ing members of tho Workingmen's Asso ciation, and they have never forgiven Col Jones for his course towards tiro members of their body during the strike. It was also urged against him os a fur- liter proof of his want of sympathy with the laboring class, that in tho recent labor ■trikes In the North tils editorial utter ances were all in favor of the capitalist and in disparagement of the strikers. They who have read his editorinls iu tire Tele graph need net l>e told how disingenuous was such charge. All these things, iui- mcnselyexaggerated, were seized upoii by bis enemies and used lo array the median lea and laboring rnou ngnlnst, him, and contributed mainly lo his defeat. It is not tbe province of tho writer lo defend him from tlieso attacks. Those who know lii* heart best will acquit him of any aueb views toward tho laboring man.— Suffice it to say that It ill becomas tho press of Georgia to Join iu throwing his defeat in his foce, for that wlitcb most in jured him in the canvass and afforded the prioclpal pretext for opposition, nos done in tho interest, uud as he believed, for tho benefit of that press. The vote which Col, Joucs received was decidedly flatter ing.— Coming into tbe field at a late dayj ho found many who would otherwise have supported him already pledged to bis tip. ponenls The politicians especially tad declared themselves, and the field t"d been pretty gcnerutly canvassed. Yet tils vote consisted of Hie best citizens' of the county—tbe merchants, professors ' in the colleges, lire lawyers, the doctors, and tire reading part ot the population! These. I believe generally supported him. I have said thus much in justice to lum that tlio press of Georgia may know lie was "sacrificed iu the bouse of his friends ” Knwtrti THE H ILD LANDS. oraptrollpr ti'oldMulib Explains Mailer of Hie Fi Fas. Atlanta Constitution.] Mr. GolUtiiuitb—••You must know, in flic first place, that for serera! years taxon on wild laud* were not oollected with any ef ri of efficiency. When I came into office the amount paid into the Stute from ItiiBtioufae waa only about $6,000 per annum. It ruus up to $20,000 or 25,0(H) per hare pushed these collections very oualy, because it has been the aim oi past few Legislatures to pul a tax upon* erything—even down to the kitchen utep- sils of a poor widow. I felt, therefore, that it was n duly,, solemnly incumbent upon me, to make every piece of property bring its proper proportion into the Treasury. : 1 have, as yon nee. about quadrupled the n* eeipls from this one source." ‘‘There is •ome complaint, Mr. Goldsmith, about yohr having taken some of those parlies una- wiiics.’’ *1 do uot 8eo how that charge ein stand—or how it can even he made Iu the firet place lei me say that I have nothing whatever to do with the making of laws It U merely my du«y to see that those put un- deranj Inmila..ajc faithfully curried out. 1 have certainly wftitednfon^Vmmyj^ r*- it,]- mouey, due the State, an.l urgently needed have been pressed time and again by leading legislators, by finance oominiltees and by prominent men everywhere to hurry up these collections. 1 have given the peo ple all the time that I Jared to, under my conception of my duty, because 1 was afraid Hint the law might oppress too sevuiely if rushed into execution. Wo have waited three years, and yet they have udi paid. Many of them do nol intend to pay. have had inon to meet uie on the street and laugh in my face and tell me gently that they did not intend to pay taxes on their wild lands, and that they chuldnot he forced to do it. As to the notice given, that has certainly hern ample. I have ndvertisej hr list in * he Co lelituliun once a vrerJuf. four weexs, and have sent out bushels circulars and letters. I have seut nine cir culars, containing a print of every default*- ed lot of land lo every county in the State, aud begged that they he posted up eonsjiict- tiously. This was all th at 1 could do. it much more than I wa?* bound to do «Vii|- ler tbe law. As to the issuing of the ti fasi wh9 of course cuinpelled to do that. It was my plniu duty, positively and peremp torily set forth."

Consequent J ly when a gentleman offered me the'money upon a fi. f:>., with tho oust, and demuiidcd hat 1 should transfer it to hitiL, I declined »do so until I had consulted the AH rney-Genernl. H«» promptly gave roe aur opinion, which wav positive and conclusive. 1 appen 1 it herewith, with other question^ submitted to his Excellency the Governor, for tbe opinion of the Attorney-General by the Comptroller-General, is the following and hi* reply ; Question—Section 891 provides for ibq transfer of any execution issned for Rtate; county or municipal taxs’e, or any other ex ecution without the judgment of a Conrt.j under any law/ lo any person upon pay-' meat of same. ‘Will this section Chverj fi fas. issuod by Comptroller General for tox on unreturund wild lands ?’ ‘Reply of AtlorneyiGeQeml to second question of, Comptroller-General whether section 801 of { the Code will cover fi fas. issued by Comp-* trollcr-Gcneral for tax on unrelurned wild lands ; That section Hi very broad, apply-! ing to any execution issued for Slate, conn ty or municipal taxes, or any other execu tion issued.without the judgment of a Court under any law, providing that the office whose duly it Is to cnlorco the Kaine, trans fer said execution, etc. No reason occurs why ibis section should not embrace tax fi fas. on wild lands, as well as oilier tax fi fas. You see the decision is positive a* lo the point that fi fas against wild lands can be transferred as older fi fas/ Now, if you will observe the language ef the law, you will see that I really had no discretion. It says that tho transfers ‘shall* bo mode. If you were to present me the money, at this very moment, due on a thousand fi fas, I would have no right to refuse to take year money and make the transfer* The law Is plain, and the Attorney-General' construction of u leavas no room for doubt/ “Would nol the transfer of their fi subject the Stale to possible loss under rule?'* “It eould not. .do so under printed instructions that I sent out shcrifis. 1 was fearful the transfer son ewhat lomplicale matters, mql 1 used n circular ef instructions., The main point I made .was this. .Thai the holder of lb* transferred fi fas were not entitled to IIkk surplus ,that the Iim^ might bring above taxes an,costs, but that this! enr|du» *huiiM go to the original owner of the land, if (-<* could fie.found, and to.the public :ron.-m’y in case no owner appeared.

The facts in the case tuaV 1m? stated thus: A cow which gives poor milk naturally, canuot be made to give rich tnilkj>y superior fetdi^r The quaU TTyrbowever. may IkT lucreSeNH^i soinc extent, but not to a considerable de The quantity, however, may he increased in any animal, somewhat in proportion to the value of the food given, or rather, up to a certain*limit. If care Iks taken Unit the mutual lie kept warm, and it Iks sup plied with plenty of water, the flow ol milk will be increased to the limit to which the unimul economy is capable.— Just here the qnqption of breed comes in. Cerfaiu breeds secrete milk moderately J>ut very rich in quality, while others ive a largo flow, but not so rich iu fat —- Of these Uie Jerseys may lie* takcu as the type of the oue class, and the lIolKieius as the type cf the oilier. The milk of neith er the Jerseys or the Holstcius esm be in creased iu. richness beyond a certain staudard, but the flow or either tuny h; increased by special food, with plenty of wafer. Indeed, the capability of the ani mal for milk, is iu a great mcasiirc]in pro portion to the water drank. A cow winch is a light drinker, will uot give a great flow of milk. Heucc dairymen and others use every endeavor to increase the supply of water taken, by giving a sloppy food, a duo quantity of salt, and such other mc&na as tuny present themselves. Some gi\e tepid water in winter. This is a very comtnon sense proceeding, since thereby the animal will often lake more than if the Water were cohl. Slop should always he fed warm, since this aud tepid water prevents the co\v from luring chilled. \Vbatever may be tbe economy of feed ing whole corn to fattening cattle in the West, milcli cows, besides the hay they get, should be fed only on ground feed.— In.fattening for liecf, the waste is general ly consumed by lings, ami although the steer does not gain so fast, there is saving in the cost of feeding. With milch cows thecaso is different. The animal may he regarded us a machine to convert Hie food given at nucc into milk and butter. The feeder'3annot nflord to stable and care for cows, aud then, so feed ns to lose 11 fly pet cent of the food given, cveu though the hogs may gel the waste, since the carc necessary to keep the cows is Hip same in the one case ns In the -»llicr. Neither can the dairymau nflord to keep cows which give small quantities of milk. It costs us much wasto in the animal giving four quarts per day, us In one giving twelve quarts aduy.and three times us muchlj bor to care for three four quarts a t twelve quarts a food consumed twelve quarts, the th ret?, it will W NUMBER! jbe. tc. s Hi COTTON FACTOR AND Commission Merohant. r irAVF.oifeii.Ti tbn Store next door to tbe Tost Office, wViero : COTTON, WOOL, GRAIN - And any other kindftf COUNTRY PRODUCE will lie hamifed on lensa tetMtetels te ttalte,ln.
