Justice to County Officers.
•' For some time past wo
have heard much murmuring among some of
our tax-pnyera, and many severe strictures upon
the policy of our Tax Collector and other county
officers for not receiving county scrip in pay
ment of county taxes.
“At first blnsh,” it does seem very hard that
individuals who hold scrip cannot appropriate it
for county tax. Still, this policy has its palliat
ing features of right and equity, and bears on
face the semblance of right and equity; when we
bear in mind the fact that each and all counties
in this State owe debts which were contracted
in 1667 and 1868. it seems just and proper that
these old claims should be first liquidated.
Still, if Tax Collectors receive these claims
indiscriminately, many of a late issue will be
received, and if tho assessments are not suffi
cient to meet the liabilities of the county, then
these old claims will be staved off, and creditors
who have been waiting long-for money dae, and
that without one per centum interest, must still
wait—wait for easier times—wait until more fa
vored ones are served. This is an evil which
has borne heavily upon the people in days past,
and well merited Legislative attention. Still, it
received none until a few months past. No
land-marks were mapped out; and one man
said who should, and who should not be paid,
without regard to date.
Upon the basis that debts should be paid ac
cording to priority, is predicated the policy
which now guides the action of our county of
ficials.
Be this basis sound or rotten, bo the policy cor
rect or false, it is inaugurated by the Legislature
and is now the law of the land. We beg leave to
call the attention of those who murmur at
state of affairs, and cast the bnrden of their re
proach upon Tax Collectors, Ordinaries and oth
er county officials, to the following act of the
General Assembly of Georgia:
“Hectiok 1. Be enacted, etc., That all orders
upon the county Treasurers of this State, shall,
after being signed by tho proper authority, be
entered in a book of record kept for that purpose
and duly numbered, and that they shall be paid
according to date; the oldest first, and not oth
erwise.
Section 2 repeals conflicting laws. Approved
October 7th, 1868.” ' V
This is the law as it stands on tho statute
book, anti if blame is to bo attached to any party,
then onr longdieed Legislature muni boar it.
Quid am.
Express Itobbor.
« On the 28th of February, a robbery was com
mitted, and a monoy package containing several
hundred dollars, was taken from tho Express
Office at Cairo, No. SO Atlantic and Gulf Bail-
road, in Thomas county, and suspicion fell upon
a young man calling himself E. B. Franklin,
who had been spending several months at that
place, and who concluded to leave for tho up
countary immediately after the robbery. The
agfcnt at Cairo, upon this information, obtained
a warrant and nearched Franklin as he was
about to leave on the cars and fonnd money, bnt
could not identify it, and Franklin was permit
ted to leave. The facts and suspicions, howev
er, were telegraphed to the Superintendent of
the Express at Augusta.
The officer soon accumulated sufficient evi
dence to satisfy him that a man then at Athens,
Ga., calling himself E. Franklin McManaman,
alia* E. B. Franklin, was tho real robber of the
Cairo Express. Accordingly, the Snperintend-

campedonthe plain of Akbar, ontside Cairo,
af.**** “ a cano Py of gold and -Velvet
which was used to cover the saddle of tho wife
of the Caliph on her journey to Mecca. The
Kisweth is the covering which is put over the
temple at Mecca.
Several days ago the pilgrims set out from
Cairo and encamped on the Abbasaya. What
ntes and ceremonies they may have since been
performing inside and out, I know not; but last
night aU sight-seers were warned that the curi
ous ceremonial which has just been terminated
was to come off soon after nine o’clock. At
that hour the Viceroy’s carriages were in wait
ing at the Prince’s palace, and a guard of honor
with a trumpet band was drawn up in tho open
spape between the building and tho street—
There were very few people attracted by tho
show of horses and guards, but the crowds which
gathered in the narrow streets through which
the procession was to pass gave some evidence
of the enormous populatte£^of this swarming
uByir - yci4*iwjw -
The Prince and Princess and their suite, at
tended by the carriages which the Lake of
Sutherland and his party owe to tho courtesy of
the A iceroy, set out about 10 o’clock to see to
tho beginning of the pilgrimage, and drove to
the open space beneath the Grand Mosque, fa
mous as the scene of thedemolibon of tho Mame
lukes by Mnhemet All. They were preceded by
a few horsemen and by the running footmen,
who are the heralds of every carriage ill Oairo
— n i§;ht the pillars of fire, for they bear aloft
on high poles a sort of beacon fiercely blazing
as they ran and lighting up all tho streets, and
by day they bound with feet that never tire be
fore the horses, orying out incessantly in Arab
ian, “mind your toes l” or “look out, there!”
and the like, thus freely translated—clad in
white fluttering garments, with Bishop-like
sleeves, loose short trousers, coming a little way
below the knee, but glorious in gold-embroid
ered vests and sashes. To a man of cruel or
arbitrary disposition the office must be enviable
for it gives, apparently,-a rightto tho bearer to
smite whatever and whenever he pleases. The
and camel
ent caused him to be arrested, which was effect
ed after mnch difficulty, by tho military, Mc
Manaman olio* Franklin, having defied tho
Sheriff at Athens and treated his authority with
contempt. He was brought to Thomasville a
few days ago and lodged in jail until Friday last
when he was brought before Judge Alexander
for commitment.
Tho testimony revealed many circumstances
of boldness and daring on the part of the ac
cused, and a good look at him will satisfy most
men that this is not bis first crime, and that ho
is capable of executing much more difficult jobs.
When he was searched at Oairo, under suspi
cion, he claimed to be the ward of CoL McIntyre,
of Thomasville, who he reproached with over
caution or penuriousness, and said Cot Mc
Intyre, his guardian, would not s$nd him bnt a
small amount of money at a time. It appeared,
however, ot the trial on Friday, that dot Mc
Intyre did not recognize the relationship
claimed by Mr. Franklin, bnt was traversing
the evidenoe with great foroe and severity
against him.
He was committed, and remanded to prison
to await his trial at the Juno term of Thomas
Superior Court.—ThomosmOe Enterprise.

, London..
The metropolis of London is composed of nu
merous detached and different parts like a dis
secting map. Two cities, four counties, several
boroughs, and over thirty parishes, townships,
and villages are comprised within its bounda
ries. There is not one of these places to which
yon can take a stranger and say, “This is Lon
don.” Tho metropolis is a country in itself,
and there is just as much difference between
the various parts of it,. their architecture, in
habitants, , government and easterns, as there
is between Liverpool, Manchester, Canterbury
and Brighton. Many Americans suppose that
the streets of London are dull and gloonra.
Set down one of these Americans in Belgra
via, and, aftor-a glance at the taU, splendid
Mansard roofed houses, wide streets and fre
quent squares, he would declare: This Js
London; it is Paris.” Transport him to St
John's Wood, and show him circuitous miles of
beautiful villas, all embowered in trees and
flowers, and he would exclaim: This M not
London; it is some lovely country town, like an
English New Haven,” Dive with him into the
tangled lanes, courts and alleys of the City, and
he will observe - “This is not London; it is the
old quarter of Vienna.” Ride with him through
Tyburnia, and, mistaking the stucco for brows
stone, he will remark: “Ah! New York above
Madison Square.” Only when you bring him
ton narrow, long street, edged with low houses
of dark brick, and ending with'a curtain of fog,
will the London of his imagination be reached
at last.—EngCsh Photographs by an American.
SngMoily of u Dog. vv.
A few days ago at Lone Bock, Richland coun
ty Wis.. one of James <fc Co.’s teams ran away,
and was caught and prevented from much mis
chief bv one of their large wagon dogs. Mr.
Tuttle the driver, had just been hitching the
team to the wagon, and wg«lg>nf to hitch the
last to" when one horse kicked him, and both
started to run ; otic wheel of the wagon passed
over Mr. Tuttle’s body, but did no permanent
injury; the team, in their runaway, at once
turned a corner and pointed toward home. The
faithful dog, comprehending the situation s er
looking first to the then helpless *lver bom,d
e^rdler the team, and after three or lour^efforts
succeeded in drawing them into a f^ c eabo uta
mile from Lone Bock. Here he was found by
those who had started in pursuit, hanging to toe
bit of the off horse, seemingly quite well pl eas <
with his performance, and fully as determined
to continue on duty till properly relies»<- •
had caught the lines two or three tames, and the
near horse bv the bit once or twice, but sam
horse was a wicked fellow, and nsed his feet on
him too savagely.

number of unoffending men and camels and
asses punished every day for doing nothing at
all but being alive in Cairo, by these officials
must amount to many hundreds, and they all
bear it with equal mind and body. Perhaps it
would be more correct to say that the torch or
beacon bearers are only put on at night, and
that they are not quite the same as the running
footmati, who is on day and night,' and who
shouts and runs on in darkness and in light
with the same power of voice and muscle.
The route from the Prince’s palace to the
open spaoo through the citadel lies through a
part of the town, which is, perhaps, the most
striking and interesting of all Cairo. Familiar
as the city is to all European travelers, there is
about its streets an ingredient of what may be
understood, though not defined, by the word
“Orientalism,’’ which can never weary, which
is over suggesting new ideas, or reviving old
ones, or exciting cariosity. How much the
Arabian Nights Entertainment have had to do
with this interest cannot be readily deter
mined. A good deal, too, no doubt, is due to
the belief which underlies tho spectator's no
tions, unconsciously, as it were, that he is look-'
ing at people whe arc now in thought and dress
and habits very mnch what they were many
oenturiea ago, and who, all alive a? they ore,
yet are as dead as if they were mummified, for
all the purposes of this progressive, practical,
prosaical half-century. The streets wand in and
oat at discretion, through a mass of houses,
mosques, shops, baths, bazars, very much os
mites march through a cheese.
The word “Btreet” gives no conception of the
tortuous narrow lane which scarcely ever yields
a view of 100 yards in front or behind yon, and
which at times seems to end abruptly by the cor
dial greeting of two houses at opposite sides,
and by their resolute blockade of the infinitesi
mally small entrance, bnt at either aide there is
qnite enough to detain the stranger for a plea
sant ten minutes—for every ten paces if he
likes—to loiter and be jostled by asses and
shoved aside by the crowd, or scared by growl
ing, fierce trotted camels. There are the bazar
shops with their varied stores and still more va
ried and curious customers, and there are the
rrigible, persecuting 'donkoy boys, who will
never desist from importunate, stick-disregard
ing solicitation, till the . pedestrian r

shops rise tho latticed window frontage of the
houses, sometimes projecting the stories from
the drawing-room floor upward on frail beams
beyond tho lower story, sometimes coyly ro-
dL
While all below is life and noise and activity,
from the first floor upward there is silence, and
scarce a trace of the indoor-abiding world is to
be seen. Now and then a child may be see at
Jhe lattice, or a draped face gleams out of a pair
of inquiring eyes on the world below; but
mostly there is a blank in the Turkish—that is,
the Egpytian quarter. To-day all this was
changed, and all womankind was enjoying its
rare holiday, and enjoying it more, perhaps,
too, than its sisterhood in England would if it
were all going off to the poll, headed by Miss
Becker and Mr. Mill, record its vote for some
political Apollo Belvedere. The women of
Cairo now sat chattering with their children in
every safe recess in the streets. They gazed
out of the latticed windows through the sluice
like open traps, and through the open casements,
crowded the flat roofs, swarmed one of the
mosque-tops, and clustered in the' doorways,
clad in sweeping robes which in their combina
tion form such tempting yet distracting subjects
for tho artist who loves to paint masses of col
ored drapery. If eyes can bo an index to the
character of the rest of tho face, many of the
ladies must have been very beautiful; but many,
too, showed the ravages of opthalmia, which the
artifice of blackened eyebrows only made more
evident.
The men and boys lined the streets and sat in
their bazar shops—the men of the different na
tions and faiths which have their representa
tives here—Arabs, Jews, Copts, Syrians, Egyp
tians, Turks, Franks, Nubians, Albanians, Ano-
tolians, Greeks, Persians, Circassians, “barba
rians,'' and dwellers in portions tnjideliuin,
dressed each after his kind, and on all the shift
ing kaleidoscopic multitude, over which the fine
dost rose from the tread of many feet, there
came down here and there, throughout the
ohiTiks in the latticed screen which covers m the
streets rays of sunshine which produced througn
the ha^y medium the most striking and charm
ing effects of light and shade. Through this
scene imagine the camels plodding along Jith
ponderous loads of green vetches, asses hidden
under mounds of vegetables and tares for fod
der, or laden with important portions of a small
family, horses and ponies and their riders, mules
and dromedaries with their turbaned or vailed
burdens, and then see an advance guard of na
tive outriders, followed by a host of running
footmen in front of an open carriage ■withpranc-
ing horses, driven by an unmistakable British
coachman, capitally turned out with cockade m
his hat and tops complete, pressing through the
throng -with a great accompaniment of strange
cries—and you may fancy the expression of de
lighted surprise and curiosity which animated a
fair and gentle face dear to so many millions of
people in islands far away from this.

a Frame Building Twenty-two Miles
in Length. a jH
Prom the Son Francitco Alta-Califomiu.}
Persons who pass hastily over the Union Pa
cific Railroad hardly give a thought to the im
mense amount of work which has been perform
ed by the company. From the Sacramento to
the present terminus of the road, at F-IVq the
trains are once more running regularly. The
immense amount of money and labor expended
m catting through mountains, opening tunnels,
grading the road and laying the track can with
difficulty be realized by those not familiar with
the business. Not the least of the problems to
be solved was that of protecting the track from
the heavy falls of snow which were to be antici
pated daring the winter months. To obviate
mis difficulty as far as possible, the company
determined to erect a series of sheds, or rather
one building, which should protect the road over
iko snow line. Accordingly they have erected a
building which is doubtless the largest in tho
world. It is twenty-two miles in length, sixteen
feet in width and sixteen feet in height, not in
cluding the pitch of the roof. It is put up in
the most substantial manner, all the timbers
used being of the best quality to be obtained.
The sides are inclosed, and were it not for the
fact that daylight penetrates through the inter
stices between the boards, the whole affair
would be very like a huge tunnel. The build
ing is braced together in a most peculiar man
ner, and is, in addition, firmly bolted to the
rocks wherever the road nears the face of a cliff.
Where snow slides are to be feared an extension
of the roof has been carried to the cliffs, so that
falling masses shall pass over the building and
lodge on the other side. In many places where
side tracks are located,the building is wider than
the figures given above. More than 40,000,000
feet of lumber have been used in its construc
tion. It covets an area of more than 1,800,000
square feet, or nearly 44 acrcas.
One of tho best proofs of the stability of the
structure is in the tact that with tho exception
of a few miles which had not been really com
pleted, it thoroughly answered the purpose for
which it was designed during the recent severe
storm in which it was subjected to the most
vere tests.
“Anarchy is Reconstruction — Confu
sion is Loyalty.”
^row the Richmond Enquirer. March 20.)
Yesterday, by order of Congress, tho govern
ment of Virginia went to pieces. We have no
officers of any sort, save here and there a scala
wag or a carpet-bagger. The military comman
der of District No. 1, says he cannot fill the
offices, and consequently the clerks’ offices, the
sheriffs’ offices, and all other offices are closed.
Nobody can get oat a licinse to carry on trade;
nobody can lodge a complaint before a magis
trate ; no deed can go to record; no injunction
can be procured from the courts; our women
cannot marry. Anarchy is reconstruction, and
confusion is loyalty. What have the people of
Virginia done to be left withont any government?
They are not allowed to manage their own af
fairs in any mrnner, and Congress is so busy
that it only finds time to decree disintegration.
A Neqeo Claims Eight Hdxdbzd Aches in
San FaANCisoo.—A negro man, aged about
eighty years, recently arrived in San Francisco
from New York, visiting the former city for the
purpose of reclaiming and taking possession of
some eight hundred acres thereof, which he
claims to own. He says that he lived where
San Francisco now stands, some thirty-five
years ago, at which time he received a grant
from the Mexican Government for eight hun
dred acres of the peninsula, but the sandy and
barren character of the soil was such that he
did not value it very highly. After several
years' residence he went into southern Mexico,
and thence to the Atlantio States, where he
joined Fremont's exploring expedition and re
turned to California. After the cession of this
State to onr Government he claims to have lo
cated a land warrant onrfhe present site of San
Francisco. It is understood that he is well
pleased with the improvements that have been
>nt upon his land daring his absence, and that
le is disposed to be liberal with his tenants. A
swarm of real estate “sharps” are on his train,
disposed to cultivate him. If this sable shadow
is as dark as represented, it will considerably
cloud San Francisco real estate.—Stockton QCai!)

Hams and Bacon— How to Keep. —I have
never been able to keep my hams and bacon en
tirely free from the fly and worm daring the
summer. For the benefit of those like myself,
please give us information. I cannot remember
that this important item of domestic economy
has been ventilated in your columns. People
who live remote from markets are obliged to
store bog and hominy, and therefore the ques
tion “ How to save our bacon” becomes one of
great importance.—Hock Spring, Pa.
Make bags of unbleached “factory,” put the
bums in, and then put in a layer of fine soft
hay all around them, so as to make a stratum of
hay between tho “factory” and the hams. If
merely bagged, the flies will thrust their ovipos
itors through the factory and sting tho meat;
bnt the interposed hay keeps them off. It is a
common practice to whitewash the bags, bnt
this is not so neat, and the bags cannot be so
well used again. Another mode is to bury them
in oats or some other grain, bnt they are more
apt to become injured from want of ven
tilation. Charcoal dust keeps the hams well,
but is black and disagreeable, and hard to get
off. Whichever mode is adopted, it is of vital
importance that the work be done early in the
Spring, before the flies are stirring.—Country

Fbance Refuses to Recognize the Goveev-

Spangler, says the Jackson (Miss,) Clarion, hav
ing in France a patrimony which he wished to
realize, made to Bev. Paul Huber a power of at
torney to receive the fund in France. It was
duly authenticated and the certificate under the
great seal of Mississippi igned, “Adelbert
Ames, Brv’t Major General United States Army,
Provisional Governor of Mississippi.” The
document was presented by Father Huber to
the French Consul at New Orleans. After hav
ing partly written his consular certificate, he
observed the above signature to the Governor s
certificate. The consequence of this refusal by
the officials of European Governments to re
cognize our military Governor is that it is im
possible to authenticate such documents as are
to be used there. The defect cannot be reme

it are defeated.

MESSRS. JONES. BAXTER k DAY.
Gextlvmcx: In reply to your inquiry, I take pleas
ure in saying my experience with the CHESAPEAKE
PHOSPHATE. I bought of yon lost spring, has ban
very favorable. I used (300) two hundred pounds
upon 00 three-fourths of an aero, third! year’s new
ground, anpl, ing it in the drill, rows three feet apart,
sixteen inches in tbs drill, on which I bad firs thou
sand seven hundred stalk* of cotton. From this. I
gathered (1824) eighteen hundred and twenty-roar
pounds of cotton. Tho last of August, the worm com
mitted great ravages in it, destroying all of the late
crop. Had it not been for the worm I should her*
made at least one-third more on the land- I can cheer
fully recommend it to Planters'as a Fertiliser (or cot
ton: Respectfully.
[Signed! L. HOLT.
WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED 300 BAGS AND
BAUGH’S RAW-BONE PHOSPHATE,
Thi* article has been before tho publio for thirteen
years, end there are now over 10.000 tons cold annually.
Read the following letter from a well knosm citiien
of Monroe county:
Mogaoa Couktt. Ga., Jan. 4.1880.
Mr. Oeo. Jhtodale, Baltimore. Mi. •
Daaa Sit—I made an experiment upon Cotton the
ut season with Baugh’s Raw-Bone Phosphate. I
used it at the rate of only One Hundred Pound* Per
Acre, applying it in the row with the seed, and the
yield of cotton from lend to which the Phosphate was
applied, was On* Hundred Per Cent greater than
from land on which no ftrtiiixsr was nsed: tho differ
ence being so great that I conld see to the very row
where Istopped dropping the Phosphate.
I can, with confidence, recommend Bangh’s Raw-
Bone Phosphate as being a reliable and satisfactory
article.
