We Support our friends, and if. by stepping a little out ot our way, we i an give our patronage to a Republican, wc should take the trouble for the sake of retaliation, if for nothing else. If w c find men persecuted for their Republican principles, lot us uphold them. Wc believe any enterprising man could do a good business in this city by estab lishing a Republican dry goods or grocery store, or a butcher’s stall, and sticking up the notice, “Democrats and their money not wanted here.” Wc detest political proscription—wc abhor the carrying of politics into business or society, but wc must defend ourselves against the persecution which is inaugu rated against us, ami wc can only do it bv giving all the patronage, all the offices, all the business, which' wc can command, to our friends.

Wc think that questions of considerable gravity will arise from the wording of General Meade’s order, which wc published in yesterday's paper. The order declares that in consequence of the majority given for the Constitution at the last election “the same is hereby ratified in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Congress which liecamca law Mar«h 12, 1868." It may become an important question, one involving important rights, when did or docs the new Constitution go into effect ! It would appear from the military order that its ratification by the people, and the official announcement of the fact by the mil itary authorities, were all that were neces sary to give the Constitution vitality, so far as the people of Georgia were concerned : but that may be a subject of doubt, and it may l>ccomc a question whether the ratifi cation by Congress is necessary to give it force and effect in the State. The other item of the terms of reconstruction—the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment —has nothing to do with the validitv of Constitution ; it is merely a condition pre cedent to the restoration of the right of representation in Congress. Let us state the difficulty and tiie ques tion in another form: is the new Constitu tion valid ami landing upon the people of Georgia from the time of the official decla ration of its ratification by t lie people, or not until it is accepted by Congress ' If the first position is the true one, the Con stitution is now the fundamental law of the State, and its requirements are obligatory upon the people and upon all officers elected under it. Wo foresee many ami ini|>ot'tant ilifficul ties which will l>e certain t<> arise from tliis question, and it should be authoritatively decided at once. A period of uncertainty a. to the validity of the Constitution will l>c prolific in legal questions, and occasion much trouble a> well as expense to tin? people. Perhaps a declaration by the Legislature ot the date when the Constitu tion went into etfect may be sufficient, Imt it is plain that a decision,from sonic authori ty. is very necessary. DEATH OF LOUD UJiOUOIL'. M. The death of Lord 15roughaui, which occurred at his country seat, Louise Eleo note, near Cannes. France, on Saturday, the 9th, signals the departure of a man who, for three generations, has ranked among the eminent citizens of the British Empire, lie was born in 1778, at Edinr burgh. At the age of eighteen, he wrote a paper “on the refraction and reflection of light,” which was published among the transactions of the ltoyal Society. lie became, in 1800, a member of the Edin burgh Society of Advocates. He helped start the Edinburgh IFricir in 1802. and for twenty five years was a constant con tributor to its pages, lie was called to the English bar at London in 1808, and entered Parliament in 1810. In 1820, lie bernme Lord Chancellor under the minis try of Karl Okkv, and with the dissolu tion of this ministry in 1884. lie retired from official life. Lord Brougham was a man of wonder, ful powers of lowly as of mind, and the stories told of his feats of physical endur ance rival in marvelousncss the well au thenticated records, of his intellectual achievements. Among the scientific men England he maintains a proud position. As an advocate he probably never met his peer. Asa statesman his name is indisso lubly linked with all tin 1 grand reforms which have to a remarkable extent changed the institutions of England within the present century.

OUiec No. 5, Griffin Building, Entrance on Kllis street. Auuusta, Ga., May 12ilt, 1868. My Dear Colonel: Yours of this date has been received. In reply to your inquiries, l can only state : Persons availing them selves of the benefits of the Bankrupt Act are required to tarnish the necessary binds lo defray the espouses as provided for by the Act. These expenses vary in amount according to the circumstances attending each particular case, the average of which, as far ns 1 have observed, in getting the ease under way up to the first meeting ol creditors and the appointment of nn as signee, is about seventy five dollars. This sum consists of the fifty dollars required to be deposited with the Clerk under the Rule of Court, together with the lees of the Clerk and Marshal for the services to be rendered by them, which, under the law, they require paid ia advance. The exact sum necessary to pay these expenses depends upon the extent of the labor to be performed by these officers, and varies in amount as the labor to be performed varies. After the assignee is appointed, if no nsscls eoine to his hands, or ii the assets be insufficient to defray the expenses necessary to the completion of his duties, these expenses will be also required from the In reference to the action ol Congress as to the amendment or change of the law, no opinion can be worth anything; and would suggest that any party interested can certainly lose nothing by an immediate application for its benefits of the law in its present form. Yours, most respectlully, A. G. Foster. To Col. Milledge, Office No. 5, Griffin Building. GEORGIA ITEMS. The people of Atlanta decorated the graves of the Confederate soldiers Sunday.

A Fertilizer ntosi the South—Wealth uiiom tiik Palmetto State. —Yesterday, two vessels arrived at Phillips’ Chemical Works in Camden, laden with phosphates, brought from the hanks of the Ashley River, near Charleston, South Carolina. The news of th ese i.ovcl arrivals soon spread throughout Camden, and the phosphate ships were besieged by a crowd eager to see what South Carolina hud to send to New Jersey. Visitors were permitted to examine the cargoes, and a number of sharks’ teeth and petrified verlchric of marine monsters were found in the phos phates. These curiosities were highly prized hy their lucky finders. Hut there is hidden in this South Carolina phosphate something Inr more valuable than the re mains of the finny inhabitants of the great deep. A careful and thorough analysis liy competent chemists has revealed the impor tant fact that this phosphate contains prop erties superior to those of all similar agents known, and fully equal to the best guano. This important discovery is verified beyond peradvent use, and arrangements have been made to bring full supplies of the phosphate wherever it may he needed. A revolution in agriculture is at hand, file phosphate fields ol the Ashley liver are very extensive, indeed, almost inexhaustible. Thev aro in the hands of a number of prom inent Philadelphians, who have invested largely and judiciously in good and appro priate' machinery, manufactured in this State, for the purpose to which it is now applied. With the aid of these apjdieaneics, from three to five hundred ton ot thu'phos phate can he excavated each day. Ihe vast beds of this material are contiguous to navigable water, and the previous earth can he readily and economically shipped. There is hut one other deposit of phosphate similar to this of the Ashley river known to exist in the world, and this is in the North of Eng land, where it is found in what is technically known to ininets as a “pocket.” This iin portant discovery and its practical develop ment will work untold good to the South, us well ns benefit to the agricultural interest of the North, East, and wAVest. Thu sunny South is nearest to this restorer of weakened arable lands, and her wide but billow fields can easily be made to blossom as the rose, by means of the phosphate, found in such abundance near the city ol Charleston.— Philadelphia hupuref. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. A special cable dispatch from London give* Sir Robert Napier’s report of tho movements of the British army since tho capture of Mugdala. When the forces took possession they immediately destroyed thirty large guns and _ mortars. The gates end loopholcd bastions were mined and blown up. The towns and tho interior fortified points were fired, and every building used as u dwelling in the place, including the Royal Palace, was burned. Tho church was spared. The work of the Razzia was completed on tho 17th of April, The widow of King Theodoras, and her sow, were protected by General Napier and escorted from bis camp to the Ttgrc country. Having discharged hi* duty, General Napier mustered his army us if on parade, tho command “ 'bout face—march,” was given, and the troops loft Magdala on the 18th of April on their route in return to the Red Sea coast. Napier hoped to reach Zooulla by the last day ot May, from which point the road is comparatively easy lo Senafe and Ahncslcy Bay. The wounded men are doing well; most of them lire convalescent, aud the army trains are kept well up. Theodoras w.is buried in the church at Magdala, official respect being shown to his remains. I’he young Prince Theodoras will be con voyed to England and educated there. Gabbaize, the friendly Chief who aided the Queen’s army in its march through Tigrc, will be duly crowned King of Abyssinia, thus introducing anew dynasty. The report conveys a very graphic picture of the great battle which took p ace on the 10th of April, previous to the storming of Magdala. Tho Abyssinians stood forth in grand array. Theodoras opened at once with his mortars. The British replied with the same description ol guns. Tiie fire from the defenses having been endured for a short time, 3,500 warriors, setting up loud shouts of joy and revenge and chanting national songs of triumph dashed with great ardor down tho sleep hill, from the Palace Fortress, and charged the British light batteries gallantly. Napier’s men stood firm, and the Aliys* sinians were repulsed, having 700 warriors, including two prominent chiefs, killed during the engagement. Tho tactics of Theodoras’ officers were judicious, nml the courage displayed by his soldiers was excellent. Aware ol his heavy loss, Theodoras for warded n (lag of truce, inquiring on what t rim the English would negotiate a peace. Gen. Napier replied that, speaking in the name ol the Queen, his terms were merely and strictly an unconditional surrender. Theodoras, through his envoy, immedi ately said he would never accept such arbitrary terms as that. Seeing, even, his present defeat, he would fight to the end. In conclusion the King requested General Napier to take the British captives, whom he would hand over tn him, and go away hence. When they had all been released, the King refused positively a surrender of himself, and the conference was broken off. Magdala was consequently stormed by the English a few days afterward. During the latest moments of the lighting, after the British assault, and when driven to his last stand-point, Theodorus attempted suicide on three separate occasions. He was rendered perfectly furious by his defeats. The released captives say that they saw three hundred native prisoners killed by the King's order on the 9th of April. Sad Calamity.—The Savannah Republi can has the following distressing facts: 1 he schooner Walton sailed Irani Portland. Me., on tho 26th of April last—had fine weather generally during the voyage. At eleven o’clock, on the night of the Ist inst., the captain, John J. Call, was missing from the deck, and was supposed to have been knocked overboard by the jibing of the for.-homi. Efforts were at once made to lower the small boat for the purpose of searching for the captain the vessel being immediately hove to and put on the other io k. Two.seamen, Gnnrge Morton mid Fred Gray, unfastened the bout. The moon was up and the wind was blowing moderately, the schooner only making six knots. In lowering the boat the port davit was carried away, and she filled half full of water. The cries of the captain being heard some dis tance astern, Morton and Gray rushed into the boat and put off in the direction where the captain was swimming. Lay to the balance of the night and the following fore noon, hut nothing was heard from the float or the captain, and all are suppos and to have been lost. Captain Call was a native of Dresden, Me., and was about thirty five years of ag<—he leaves a wife and child. Georje Morion belonged to the same place; was about eighteen years of ago. Fred Gray resided in Bath, Me., and was about the same age. How Got.ti Pens are Made. —Gold pens arc lipped with iridium, making what are commonly known as diamond points. The iridium for this purpose is found in small grains in planlinum, slightly alloyed with this latter metal. Tn this form it is exceedingly hard, and well adapted to the purpose of the gold pen maker. The gold for pens is alloyed with silver to about sixteen carats fineness, rolled into thin strips, from which the blanks aro struck. The underside ol the point is notched by a small circular saw, to receive the iridium point which is selected with the aid of a microscope. A flux of borax and a blow pipe secure it t,i its place. The point is then ground on a copper wheel with emery. The pen blank is then rolled to the requisite thinness by means of the rollers especially adapted to the purpose, and tempered hy blows from a hammer, it is then trimmed around the edges, stamped, and formed in a powerful press. The slit is mxt cut through the solid iridium point by means of a thin copper wheel, fed with fine emery, and a saw extends the aperture along the pen itself. The inside edges of the slit ay; smoothed and polished by the same means of rapidly running wheels and emery, and burnishing and hammering, to produce the proper degree of elasticity, and finish the work.— Sdenlific American.
