Pendleton on the Situation-
nDctunsli Enquirer.]
A representative of the Enquirer
met the Hon. George II. Pendleton
yesterday and had a little talk with
him about political affairs that was
more in the nature of a friendly chat
than an interview. The Senator was
not at all cast down by the unwel
come news from the elections in the
L:i-t. nor does he think that the Ohio
idea lias beon rebuked or defeated.
He inclines to the opinion that the
causes which led t/j 1 lie defeat of the
Democracy in New York and Penn
sylvania were local in their nature.
In New York Conkling had been
able lo unite the Republican party in
his support, and bring to its aid the
Democrats who were dissatisfied with
Tammany and its management. In
Pennsylvania the Camerons had to
make a life and death struggle and
they have won. He sees nothing in
the result that alters or changes the
general phase of political affairs, and
he does not believe that it either in
dicates or foreshadows the result in
the n-xt Presidential campaign. He
believes the Democratic party is
stronger to-day than ever before, and
to hi- mind, ail impartial analysis of
| i he vote shows that wherever the op-
iio-ition to the Republican party has
! Iietti united, the result hns generally
ndidati for C oigrcs-, j been in favor ol the opposition. Mr.
»helming detent wa« | Pendleton is firmly of the opinion
lieounplished by the heavy-
vote ca-t against him.

A PLAN TO MAKE THE STITE III Hr \
Rt.HUMNO INSTEAll OF A llt'ltlll \.
Editor Jfiirniiiii Xt'irs: A bill ha-
been introduced in the Georgia Leg
islature by lion. LnnU P. Garrard, o'
Muscogee, of great importance and
interest to the people of this state.—
The following is a copy of it :
A bill to lie entitled An Act imljior-
izing the issue of bonds of the Slate
of Georgia, for the redemption of
certain bonds of the Stall’ of Geor
gia falling due in the next three
years, and to reduce the rule ol in
terest on tlie same.
Section 1 He it enacted hji the Sen

of all their actings and doings in snid
premises.
Sec. IX. That the faith and honor
of the State of Georgia is hereby
pledged for the prompt payment of
the bonds and the interest thereon
authorized by this act.
\ careful perusal of the proposi
tions covered by this bill will repay
your readers. They are novel, inge
nious and eminently practicable.
The bill is already- creating it deci
ded .sensation in Atlanta, in and out
of the Legislature, and so far as has
been discussed is heartilv approved.
It seeks to fund the public debt by
reducing the rate of interest one-half,
and really making it a blessing in
stead of a burden. This bill is but
tlie opening wedge. If it is passeti
and goes into operation, its workings
will make it clear, that as to the bal
ance of our State indebtedness vve
will have an easy burden to carry.
A hasty analysis of tlie bill makes
these benefits crop out, viz:
1. Our State debt will be popular
ized, so to apeak, anti as in France
men of small means will put their
savings into it, without fear that as
in the ease of the savings hank, the
I’residcnt may live so expensively, or
the directors lie so grossly negligent,
or the cashier run away so sueccssful-
ly and so full bunded, that depositors
may lament their own credulity, and
bear tlio losses thereby incurred.
2. The rate of interest will be re
duced.
.. The bonds lining “engraved on
the best quality of bank note paper,"
and being of good size for our pocket-
books—namely : “seven and one half
inches long and three and one half
inches wide”—and being of a deunin
illation of not less than live dollars
nor more than one hundred dollnrs
what a relief they will nfibrd to our
people, capitalists, farmers, laborers
aud merchants, financially ! Nor will
they lie -‘flat money” to any holder
thereof, whether ho be a Georgian or
a non-resident, for the credit and
faith of the State of Georgia will hr
pledged for them. Nor will they bt
unconstitutional, for they arc not
money, nor arcthey “bills of credit,”
as mount in the ('oiiHtitiition of Hit
United States. They arc coupon
bonds, taking the place of present
coupon bonds, anil not intended as
money. Yet who in Georgia will
nut receive them at par for debts ?
The vendor will be glad to recei
I hem for his wares and merchandise.
I. They will be of bcuclil lo our
banes and capitalists who seek lo get
interest of large Imbniccs, and as in
terest day approaches, the value will
lie more and more above par.
5. They will be regisled as a t
ty UN a loss lo the bolder.
li. The depositories for paying Hit
interest arc conveniently located, so
Hint holders will not he put lo any
expense in collecting the Name, and
the distribution of so much interest
money.
These are only some of the i
suggested by the perusal of this bill
1 trust it may bv discussud by tlie
pressnnd people, and Hint it will be-
inine a law.

Horticulture.
ti is known Hi,al many of Hie most
valuable products of agriculture
wore first tnirodnecd, anil llicir qual
ities tested in the garden. “If there
fore,” says a learned writer, “we
would ascend to the origin of Agri
culture. it is in the garden that her
cradle will hr found. There,like the
Hercules, she first tried her powers,
and preparrd likr him to overrun tho
world, which slot spreilily cleared of
monsters, and bestowed upon man
the laws of eivilizntion.”
Tlio Garden.
In the garden, there will he but lit
tle done during this month if it has
not been previously neglected.
Break deeply ami thoroughly with
spade or plow, every vacant square
mil sow still noil lime on the surface.
The freezes of winter will pulvor-
i’ and improve the soil anil atl’ord a
better seed-tied in early spring than
if the plowing is omitted till spring,
salt is said to destroy the pupa* of the
■iitworm and lime will hasten the dc-
■omposilion of any vegetable matter
aud aid in Ihe pulverization of the
il.
Tomato vines pulled up and hung
in a sheltered position will ripen all
if the fruit that is nearly grown
when they are taken up. If not al-
eady done, cabbage of some hardy
variety should lie sown at once in a
rich, well prepared lied in a sheltered
position in the open ground. If not
yet sown protect the lied with leaf
less brush until tlie plants are well
up. Grown thus in thejopen ground
they are hardy will lie ready for
transplanting in January or Febru
ary next.
if coarse manure is to be applied to
the garden it should lie done now and
plowed or spaded in and lime sown
on tlie surface at the rate of ten or
fifteen bushels per acre, if it lias been
previously limed ; if not, the applica
tion should he double (lie above qual
ities.
I'rmiing may be done both ill the
raperv and orchard as soon ns the
leaves fall.
Manure applied to the orchard or
vines now, will be ready for the use
of the plants when the spring growth
commences.
Strawberry beds should liav.e a
dressing of superphosphate contain
ing two or three per cent of potash,
applied at the rate of 400 pounds per
icreand worked into the ground he-
.een the rows.
After this is done mulch well with
half rotten wheat straw between the
crowns, taking care that the latter are
not covered.
A new bed of strawberries should
be planted every year nud an old one
destroyed. They are not profitable
after the third year.
In selecting sets from old beds be
careful to get only runners. Seed
lings often appear around the crowns
—these should be rejected.—X., in

Sayings of <JonIi Killings.
I liavo seen folks who I thought
had too much property ; it would lie
a relief to see them lie down on the
floor and roll over once in a while.
I’liero are hut very few people who
ever wear out, blit there are any
quantity of them who rust and rot
out.
It is so easy for some people to ad
vise other folks to sit down in a dent
ist's chair and have a big double
tooth jerked out, that 1 have often
wondered why they didn’t sit down
aud have one jerked out themselves
just, for the fun of the tiling.
Young man, sit down and keep
till, you will have plenty of chances
ct to make u fool of yourself before
you die. I always thought it was
better for a man to invest his relig
ion in Ids business rather than ins
business in his religion.
It pays to lie polite, even to a mule,
not so much on tlie mule’s account as
on your own.
Any may can lie a first class gcntlc-
mun in hail'thc time it takes to make
a third-rate loafer of himself.
Politeness is as cheap as cold wa
ter, and lie who gives his brother a
a lirink of either “will in no wise’.use
his reward."
As we grow wiser and have more
to say. we talk less.
There always has been and there
always will lie, fools enough to sup
port any cunningly executed hum
bug.
Patience and laziness are sometimes
confounded, and the mistake is not
unnatural, for I often notice that those
who have a good deal ol either have
a fair supply of the other.
I have finally come lo Ihe conclu
sion that if I cau’t prove n thing with
out belling $5 on it. the thing has got
a dreadful weak spot in it some
where.
I am no prophet, nor the son of
one, but. 1 bet this—the iniiu who
mutches himself against the devil at

Toombs on the Situation.
THE QUIET 1IIONY OF THE KETIREI)
STATESMAN.
Somehow, or other, when General
Toombs makes his appearance in
town, lie always stumbles against a
Constitution reporter. He stumbled
against one yesterday.
••AV'cli, general,” said the newspaper
man, “what do you think of tlie elec
tions?”
“I think u good deal and say little,
fin getting too old to talk, i'm too
old l<> work the toads and too old to
vote. In the ancient timeR they used
In have iiuimaries for old men. In
these days yon boys merely want to
hear them talk—and they- talk too
much.”
“But you see, general, we make al
lowances for that.”
-Oh, yes; I understand that. You
make, allowances, and then you go off
and print what I probably ought to
have said, but didn’t Yon are a nice
sot—you editors. But I like' you
though, and for that reason I forgive
you.”
“But about the elections?’'persist
ed the reporter.
“AA'ell, they’ve gone pretty much as
1 would have them go. That was a
rare fight Persons made in the 4th.”
“It was a surprising one.”
"So you say. But it didn't surprise
me. Persons is a tuau of intellect
and culture.”
“But how about Felton ?"
“Felton?" said the general, affect
ing surprise. “Who is Felton ? Why,
I thought the Constitution had com
pelled Feltou to retire. He isn't elec
ted. is he ? AVell, bless my soul!”
“That’s what they say, general.—
They say he’s elocted.”
AYhereupon General Toombs
ciTuckled gleefully, and remarked:
“AA'ell, I'll tell you what, the old
man is a tough one. They say - his
face is hard enough to cram: hickory-
nuts upon, and when a load of squir
rel shot is fired at him he sheds ikuis
a duck does water. That is the reas
on von didn’t win. You fired at him
with squirrel-shot. They didn’t pen
etrate.”
•‘But suppose,” said the reporter,
“Felton concludes to run for govern
or—what then ?”
“Then, I’m for him,” said General
Toombs, emphatically.
Thereupon the reporter, weeping
thoughtfully over the General’s indc-
peudentism, withdrew his forces and
retired.
Death of Gov. Vance’s AVife.—
Mrs. Harriett Nowell Vance, wife of
Governor Z. B. A'ance, of North Car
olina, died in Raleigh on Sunday af
ternoon last, after a long illness. She
was the daughter of Rev. Sir. Epsy, a
Presbyterian minister, and was a lady
of decidedly strong character and
great piety.
KKOPBXIKG A THOROUGHFARE
In order to guard against results
utterly subversive of health, it is ab
solutely essential that tlie grand thor
oughfare or avenue of the svstem, the
bowels, should bo re-opened as speed
ily as possible when they become ob
structed. If they arc not-the bile is
misdirected into the blood; the liver
becomes torpid ; viscid billions mat
ter gets into the stomach, and pro
duces indigestion; headaches ensue,
and other symptoms arc produced,
which a prolongation of tho exciting
muse only tends to aggravate. The
aperient properties of Hostetler'’
Mouiach Hitters constitute a most use
fill agent in overcoming constriction
of tin’ bowels, and promoting a regu
lar habit of body. It is iulitiilel) su
perior to the drastics cathartics' fre
qtiently used for the purpose, since it
does not, like them, act violently, hut
produces a natural, painless effect,
which does not impair the tone of
the evacuatory organs, which it iu-
vigorales instead of weakening. The
stomach and liver, also, indeed tlie
entire system, is strengthened and
regulated by it.
