Trouble About Georgia. The Radical Senators are moth troubled what to do about Georgia. Whichever way they turn they are compelled to con fess there Is difficulty and danger. They | TT'/'vx TTsrT' TTT 1 feel morally sore that If they admit Geor- » L/XJUlfJJb 111. I gia, and secure to the people there an elec tion next fall, pursuant to the State Con' stltntlon, the State will go overwhelming ly Democratic, and the carpet-baggers will never be heard of any more. They all dis like to face tills fact, and yet it is the plan which seems to promise lets mischief to their party ascendancy at the North. The alternative schemes are, first, to agree to the demands of Bullock and Blodgett to ah low them to prolong Bullock’s term and the terms of the State Legislature by their own act until 1872, and to bankrupt the fi- nances of Georgia, after the fashion of North Carolina, Florida, and South Caro lina. The second plan Is to reconstruct Georgia a third time, pat her under mili tary government, and provide for an elec tion at some future time by a part of the legsl voters, so as to make a Republican State of her If possible. But the majority do not believe either of these plans can be safely adopted. It is urged that the Northern States will not allow this question of reconstruction 'to he reopened every montb'to suit the ne cessities of Radicals. On the whole, it Is believed by those who have made a careful .estimate of the vote of the State, that, though the Bingham Amendment will be voted out. yet that (n lien of it there will he adopted some provision,like that already forcaliulowed by a Republican -Senator, declaring that the Legislature have no power under the State Constitution to pro long their own terms of office, and that to do so, would be such a violation of Repub lican principles as would justify interven tion by Congress to correct It. Bollock Is In constant attendance upon the Senate. It Is said that lie feels very little interest In the admission of the two Republican Sena tors lately elected, Inasmuch at they were chosen In caucus over his own favorites, and that his principal concern Is to have the term of the Legislature prolonged so as to secure tlie admission of six years of Foster Blodgett, one of the rebel heroes who captured Fort I'ulaski when Georgia llrst seceded. The postponement of the Georgia question was not a voluntary act, or agreeable to the Senate Republicans. It was resorted to because they did not know what to do with her.— World. The Radical Defeat in Connecticut. The S L Louis Republican says that the Chicago Tribune, in mourning over the Radical defeat in Connecticut, gives its readers glimpses of a great troth. After a hitter fling at the faction in the Senate which delayed the admission of Texas and Geor gia, and so lost Governor Jewell the negro vote which he might havo had, the Tribune proceeds to remark very sensibly and phi losophically, that it is a matter of mnch more interest to know “ what has become of our whito voters,” and that "after putting together the funding bill, the project for keeping Georgia oat of the Union, and the Domingo sell, it is not difficult to account for the defection of enough votes in Con necticut to turn the scale.” In other words, tlio Tribune lays tlur blame of tho disaster upon three of the most prominent features in the recent policy of the administration —an administration, too, which the journal zealously supports. Tho funding bill, al though ostensibly the invention of Senator Sherman, is known to havo originated with Secretary Boulwcll, and it is to bo pre sumed lias the sanction of a majority of the cabinet as well as the president. " Keeping Georgia out of tho Union ” has the support of a large proportion of Radical Senators, including such shining lights as Revels, Brownlow, Sumner and Drake, and almost as much strength in tho Ilouse. - “ The Do- mingo acll ”—irreverent expression!—is the favorite child of President Grant himself, who has urged it from tho beginning with an enthusiastic pertinacity which will take no denial. These, then, are the three sins which the Tribune thinks haTe drawn heaven’s vengenco upon the heads of the Radical party in Connecticut. They arc nut merely accidental transgressions, brief lapses from the path of strict Yirtue liable to occur in the best regulated families, hut they arc the legitimate results of a certain code of principles which Radicalism has approved and is now engagod in carrying out.

Tobacco farms and plantations extend from Lynchburg in every direction miles and miles away. Before the war, almost every business man of prominence here was dealing in tobacco. At the commence ment of the war, there were here about eighty large establishments engaged in the manufacture of fine-cut, plug, and smok ing tobacco, and In packing and shipping the same to foreign ports. Now the num ber of establishments in operation is about twenty—none of them being carried on so extensively as ten years sgo, although the crop raised in this vicinity is nearly if not quite up to the olden time. Most of that wbiofe is raised in this vicinity now is sent abroad unmanufactured, taking the place of gold In payment for foreign goods, ar.d in this respect helping cotton to be once more king. Tobacco-planting commences in this sec tion in May, and the harvest completed generally by the 1st of October. There are little tobacco farms and big ones, small plantations and large ones, small patches and immense fields, on hill-side and level, where negroes raise a little for the fun of tho thing, or the purchase of necessaries, or planters, largely engaged, are making money or a subsistence. HThe cost of raising tobacco averages about seven cents per pound. Concerning the mode of culture, curing, harvesting, etc., we shall not attempt any description at prcsent,other than to say that it is planted and hoed, cut or gathered, and the bunches twisted together, as one would twist a handful of horse-radish leave*. Then these bunches a>e dried by hanging them in sheds through which the air circulates freely, or dried in the sun or over a fire In the smoke, us the case may be. Tobacco is marketed very much as In the Western country, at all seasons of tho year, as the producer wants money and the market be enticing. All of the tobacco raised for sale is brought from the patch, farm or plantation to mar ket, exhibited in one of the many auction warehouses, and sold at auction to the highest bidder. Now there is as much difference in the quality of tobacco as in butter—more than in wheat, corn, or other grain. The reader can form some Idea of the difference of quality when wo tell him that the price varies here from fire dollars to two hun dred and twenty-five dollars per one hun dred pounds, the average price being twelve dollars and a half. You may ask why this difference when all is tobacco? Some is better than other tobacco. Some is coarse, thick-leaved stuff, without strength or much more taste than a mullen leaf, looking dark, black, and unfit for anything, except the very cheapest grades of smoking tobacco, or to be used only for makiog a wash tor sheep in Australia or Texas, where large quanti ties are consumed for this purpose. And some of it is very fine; that which is called tbc u goldleaf” being the best. Itiscalled “gold leaf” in compliment to the color of tlie leaves, which are a bright yellow, sweetish taste, and of a high flavor, as the article itself is fine in texture and appear ance. ■The very best article Is only to be found here and there, in spots, where it is grown upon new land, and where the soil seems to have some peculiarity which gives to the crop, in certain instances, its superiority. The best tobacco is raised upon land just reclaimed from the forest, though the soil bears large crops year after year, without the use of fertilizing material. Yet tobacco llands will in time wear out. Some of the soil In this section is used the first year for tobacco, the next year for wheat, and then seeded down In timothy orclover for graz ing purposes. Tobacco cured in the sun Is used for chewing, while that known as fine or smokc-cnrcd tobacco, is manufactured for smoking purposes. Sometimes a crop of tobacco will not pay for the raising, this especially being the case where the yield of] an entire field will not bring OTer five or six dollars per hundred, when the cost of raising is never less than seven, no matter whether the quality be good or bad.—Rri'cX* iPomeroy.

Our com pany consisted of two native preachers, a cart driver and uiysclf. Perhaps mention should be made of the cart. We trundled on slowly, only two riding at a time, the other half of the party (to use tlie sarcas tic expression of the Chinese for walking) •• riding the road.” On the second day we came to a bridgelcss liver of considerable width. So we were somewhat in the condi tion of the Israelites by Plbablrotb, minus the Egyptians In the rear. However the Chinese helped to settle the difficulty, lead ing our animals half way over the stream, backing us a short distance to their boat, and rowing us the rest of the wav. It was my first experience on the back of a Chi naman. ami the only similar experience, since I was a boy, was riding ashore on a negro at 1!lode Janeiro. Hum! I prefer riding on cleaner animals. Sixty miles from Peking we reached a place called “Grandson village.” At this place two years ago, fifty men went out against two hundred rebels, were sur rounded and forty-seven of tlie number killed. We saw a temple erected to their memory, and a tablet with their names en graved on it. Every year ineense is burned there by relatives and friends. It requires only distance of time to change the names of these men into tlie names of heroes and even deities. Such is tiift beginning of the heathen gods. It is an excessive veneration tor men and things in the past resulting in worship. Near this place I heard an amus ing anecdote. A man professed to have wonderful power, and offered to induce the moon to rise a second time if the people would raise a subscription of twenty-live dollars. Tlio money was raised, and tills second Joshua repaired to a place east of tho village, and one-half mile distant, placed a lighted lantern (alrcadv prepared by cutting a round hole on one side) in the center of a gonrd, xml drew it gradually up a pole. And so the moon bts risen once out of due course In China.

Wi% Hogshead of the World.—A German cor respondent of a San Francisco paper writes: Tho famous inn of Heidelburg is in a vault ed cellar of the castle. 1 was misled ba ttle name, and supposed it was a sort of vat, but it is a regular hogshead, containing 49,000 gallons. Tho staves aro each mas sive sticks of timber. The hoops aro im mense hands of oak, six inches thick, and a foot across. It is supported by a Inigo frame work of oak. There is a staircase leading up the side to a gallery on the summit, along which people used to pass with the wine, which was poured in at the top. How tho huge thing was ever built, put np and banded, I can not conceive. The tradition is, that it was built by a prince, who re ceived apart of his taxes in wine, and paid his servents and officers part of their wages in wine, and that a complaint grew up that the wine paid was unequal in quality. So this huge tun was devised, into which all tho wine received was poured as it canto in, and from which all tho' wine paid out or used was drawn, of a uniform quality. But, as I stood below the great tun and .looked up twenty feet to tho top, it began to grow upon me. Forty-nino thousand gallons'. I said to myself. That is one thousand hogs heads (I am tolerably apt at mental arith metic), or fifteen hundred barrels. Forty- nine thousand gallons! Why, at a gallon a day—and 1 did not think I would master more than that—it would take at least one hundred aud thirty-years to drink the hogs head dry. 1 did not feel that 1 could stop to do it. In fact I had other engagements elsewhere. But a ray of hopo struck me. I said to tho little girl who accompanied mo as a guide: “That is a vast quantity of wine. Do yon think the tun is quite full?” “ Why, Lord bless your high-and-well-born Worship, said she (I had just given her a double handful of kreutzers), “ Worship, the tun has only been filled three times, and tho last timo was more than a hundred years ago.

We extract the following from tlie Mark Lano Express of March 21st, which, while its statesments as to prices and stock of breadstuff* in Europe are worthy of cre dence, evinces the prevailing European ignorance of the causes operating lo effect the relative prices of corn and wheat on this side of the Atlantic: “The past week was divided by winter and spring, the sterner season taking the first choice, so that for the last few days wc have had all nature stirring herself to make up for lost time. The opening bods, the verdure of the grass, alike tell, tlie tale, and the Lent corn already sown will verv quickly show itself; bnt there is a good deal yet to be done, and tho heavy rains, should they continue, will be a hindrance to the completion of the work. In France they are muck earlier, and write that the work is nearly over. We bear of no gen eral complaints of the wheat plant, which, though small, lias yet time to recover; but there is some, outcry am the continent, backed by speculation, after a period of great stagnation; though this is mostly confined to parts of Germany.

Still the week closed heav ily. tho suddenness of the change making buyers pause, till they more clearly see how matters are likely to turn; nlthongh the base yet being a very low price seems anything but dan gerous. At Odessa financial difficulties, brought on hv excessive supplies of wheat, for which there was m> vent, are likely, to have an influence on tho high rates which have been ruling there; and, if so, at open witter tiiere will very likely be some forced shipments; bnt these may be long on the voyage. and see very different markets at Marseilles or London by their arrival.

Villa Rica, Ga., April 1,1870, ■Editor Constitution: Dear sir; I notice accounts of cerebrospinal meningitis from different sections of country, respecting its prevalence and treatment, and thinking that others might not be less interested than myself on this important subject, I deem it expedient to make a report from Villa Rica and Its surrounding community. Six or eight .cases (fully developed) have occurred at and near this place, besides a number of others that seemed to be in a formative.or incipient stage, and probably would have resulted in a more serious form had they not been timely and properly treated. I am aware that, In many Instances, this potent and fearful destroyer of tlie human family gives no warning to its poor vic tim, but, like a vicious beast, seizes upon its prey and destroys him iu spite of all possible linman aid. This was instanced. I believe, in three Ot those cates mentioned; at least it was so far as the ability of the attending medical skill was concerned, and I have no doubt would havo resisted the medical skill of the combined world. His tory shows that where this disease prevails as an epidemic, that a majority of those well defined cases prove fatal. No doubt, however, this, like other diseases, is influ enced by localities and peculiarities of con stitution. Hence, wo observe, on tho one hand, that abrupt and sudden attack, while, on the other, tho patient-Is admonished of his impending danger by premonitory symptoms. 1 do not propose to speak of tho pathology of tills disease, to .give Us history, or Its-symptoms—all of which are full of interest—but to set forth that plan of treatment which seems to be most avail able in this alarming malady. As soon a3 wo are satisfied that we have to contend with meningitis, tho patient should be placed in a barret of warm water, immersing the whole body, the head ex cepted, and upon which (tho head) a stream of cold water must ho poured while, re maining in the bath. Tlio water in the vessel or barrel must be kept as near the same temperature a3 possible, by means of other water of a higher temperature. After letcingthe pitient re main in tills hath from fifteen to thirty minutes, hn Is to lie taken out, wiped rap idly and thoroughly'dry, wrapped warmly In bed, with an iron or sointhlng else as warm to tho'feet as lie can hear it. Then cut the hair closely and apply cup* freely, or until from two to fonr ounces of blood are taken from each temple. This being done, a blister is to be applied along the whole course of the spine, and kept up till the symptoms abate. In tlie same period, a large dose of calomel and jallapis to be glveu and assisted ih Its action by Injec tions of a mild and laxative form; also, cold applications to the head are to be used throughout the disease. Along with these remedies, the system must be brought speedily under the influence of mercury by using it both Internally and externally. After two days, it is proably better to leave off the warm bath. In the latter stage, when tho powers of the system aro far spent, it Is well to support it by wine and nourishing diet. Also, tire barks seem to be of much service iu tiiis stage. J. G. Arnold, M. D. ■One of onr Energetic Citizens. Coinmunicxted.1 . Editor Comtitytion: If the defeat of tho “Bingham Amendment” ia calculated to advance the interest of Atlanta, and -Georgia generally, (and there are grave doubts (!) about it) it will ho seen that one of our energetic citizens is entitled to much credit for the gallant part" he has borne in the contest at Washington. I quote from a late Washington letter to the Atlanta New Era: * * * “Tho service of one gentleman I liavo heretofore neglected to mention, be cause knowing he shrinks from publicity; hut the fact should be stated, that John Rice, Esq., of your city, who is here upon his own account, has exerted all his influ ence—which, by the way, is great with his personal friends in Congress, of whom there are many—to secure the passage of the bill reported by the Reconstruction Committee of the Houso. He obtained the confidence of many Senators when the hill was up the present week, by his frank and evidently truthful statements as to tho necessities of his people. When Gov. Bullock and the Hon. Foster Blodgett have the endorse ment, at home and abroad, of men of this class, they can afford to treat with contemp t their Ku-Klux detractors.” This “ Ctcsar ” to whom the above cor respondent seems desirous that the “ things ” that aro his’n shall bo “ rendered,” is Presi dent of the Georgia National Bank, of this city; and it is hoped that the business men of Atlanta will hold in grateful remem brance tho yeoman’s service which the head and front of that institution is doing for us at Washington.

The Mechanic Hose Company, of Au- gnsta, will visit Savannah in May. The venue In the cose of the negro boy who killed a white boy in Harris county, has been changed to Muscogee. Major Joseph H. Sloss has been elected Mayor of Tuscumbi*. the McFarland trial. A Plot to Drive McFarland to In sanity or Death—What the De fense are Going to Do—Free Love and Free Lovers to bo Put on Trial, with McFarland as Chief Spectator in the Scene—A Bitter Fight Between Mr. Graham and Mr. Davis. From the New York Sun, Uth 1 The sixth day of this trial opens this morning; and that the readers of tlio Sun may l>e able to comprehend the compli cated and exciting scenes which are to fol low, we will give a resume of the facts of tho case as they may have been tlius.far presented, and also tlie theory of the “de fence as far as it lias been developed on tlie trial. Tho CENTRAL POINT on which tho defense turns is. that McFar land was not a responsible being when lie shot Richardson; and surrounding this central point is the theory that there was a preconcerted scheme on the-part of the friends of. Richardson, first to alienate the affections of Mrs. McFarland'from her hus band. and then, by persistent persecution, to drive McFarland to a lunatic asylum or tho grave, in order that Richardson might possess Mrs. McFarland In safety. To sustain tills theory, the defeDSO have alleged, and already partially proved, and claim that they will fully prove, that as earl as the summer of 1SGG. Mrs. Calhoun, whilo with Mrs. McFarland at the White Mountains, began to implant iu her mind tlio seeds of alienatlon .from her husband, and induced her to lend a hospitable ear to the doctrine of tlie FORK LOVERS ; that Mrs. Calhoun succeeded in inspiring Mrs. McFarland with a hunger for social distinction and enjoyment boyond what Air. McFarland in his then impoverished condition could gratify; that this led to Mrs. McFarland’s becoming dissatisfied with her humble homo; that she became intimate with Richardson, who sympa thized with tier social ambitiou; that Mrs. Calhoun and'Richardson got an engage ment for her at the Winter Garden Theatre, where she appeared under the name of Miss Cushing; that she fled from her home to flic house of Samuel Sinclair, 8 Wash ington Place, where she and Richardson, OCCUPIED ADJOINING ROOMS Without any .door between them; that tlie conspirators spirited away McFarland'S children, and that Richardson supplied the funds to eontest the legal proceedings which McFarland brought to recover them; that Richardson INSURED HIS LIFE For the benefit of Mrs: McFarland; that- McFarland became unsettled in mind, was stricken down by fever, and came so near death that tlie conspirators supposed they had got rid of biin, but tiiathu finally stag gered baek upon tho scene, a hopeless- hearted man. witli ruined constitution ami shattered mind; that while in that state lie. on tlie 10th day of March. 1S67. intercepted the letter from Richardson to ids wife which was read to the jury on Friday last and ap|>earcd in the Sun on Saturday morning; that that letter still further un settled his mind; that his subsequent struggles to regain his children, the sneers and taunts of Richardson, the Indiana di vorce of Mrs. McFarland, and tlie common report that she was soon to marry Rich ardson, deepened hi* malady. '■ DROVE HIM TO DISTKACnoX. and finally resulted in the homicide on tlie 25th day of November, 1SC9. As a collat eral reinforcement of thi* theory, it has already lircn shown that insanity is hered itary in McFarland’s family, nnd that hi* first cousin died in tlie Luuatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island in 1S17. Another, nnd in some respects the most Interesting point in the dolcuse is, that Richardson's death wan hastened by what is known as tlie Astor House marriage and other Astor House excitements, and that, as a legal consequence, m'fakland ia not responsible for his dying at that precise timv.as charged in the indictment. Under this point the whole course of treatment to which Rich ardson was subjected after he was shot, in cluding the marriage ceremony at the As tor House, will be put in evidence. This will of coitrso lead to exciting scene* and bitter fights between opposing counsel. Tho defense claim to be exceedingly strong in the preparation of their case. Messrs. Graham ami Spencer say that in the whole range or their professional ex perience they never knew another case so well prepared as this, and they give the whole credit of its preparation to Mr. Ger ry. He lias worked on it assiduously from tlie day of McFarland's indictment, and it is claimed that he has brought it out to perfection. He has not wurked for money, but from a sense of duty. He ha* money enough. There are probably few lawyers in America who, ail tilings con sidered, are as well off as Mr. Gerry. His library alone is worth ~ OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. The prosecution arc also strong in pro fessional knowledge aud natural ability. The District Attorney is a veteran. J udge Davis lias been retained to satisfy the friends of Richardson,- and he is a man of great legal powers. Tho contest between him and Mr. Graham waxes hotter every day, and it bids fair to become a forensic conflict of unexampled bitterness. Under the double line of tlie defense, to- wit, tbe conspiracy to alicnato McFarland’s wife and drive him to his grave or a lu natic asylum, and the claim that Richard son’s death was hastened by what took place at the Astor House. oil tho facts and circumstances surrounding the case, from beginning to end, will be developed by the evidence. Ont of the copious materials which he lias gathered, Mr. Gerry has thrown up a sort of legal Olympus whereon his associate. Mr. Graham, can sit like a forensic Jupiter, and HURL HIS THUNDIRBOLTS at every one who lias assumed, or even been involuntarily placed in an attitude of either real or seeming hostility to bis eii- ent; and tbe practical result bids fair to be to put free love and free lovers on trial, with Daniel McFarland as ehief spectator A Michigan woman has recovered by law all tho money that her husband had spent in a liquor saloon for six years. The pro hibitory liquor law of that State does not regard liquor as "property,’’ and tho wo man recovered tlie money on the ground that it hRd been paid to tlie llqnor vendor without consideration.

Supply and Coksumpion op Europe to October 1.—We showed in onr Issue of March 2c.. that tlio export of cotton from the United States to European port* would, if the prospect* of the new crop continued favorable, reach 2,000.000 bale*. Last we indicated what wa* likely to be theext-ntof tho European supply from In dia. i\’.:h these facts before us, anil taking the figures for other ports tlie same as last year, we reach the following os the proba ble European supply from January 1 up to October 1. of thi* year. For Imlia. we tako tho lower estimate*, as the latest advices are rather less favorable: Uuropean supply front the United State*. - 2000,000 Less receipt* in Europe up to January 1, - 380.000—1,620.000 Supply from India to Oc tober 1, - - - 1,150,000 Supply from Egypt, Bra zil and other coun tries, ... C 10.000 Total receipts from January 1 up to October I, (33 weeks.) - 3,710.000 Appended te its trhnlar statement of for eign receipts and stocks, the Chronicle has tlie following: From tlio above, it appears that the con sumption in Europe during the first two month* of thi* year ha* been 674.811 bale* against 74G.S09 bales last year, or 84351 bales per week for January and February. 1S70, against 93,351 bales for January and February, 1S69. These figures are, howev er imperfect, of cour*e. as they do not in- clude’stocks held by the mill* at the two period*, but they certainly indicate that the requirement of Europe have not been as generally represented. Still, oven if wc make the consumption up to Or.toiier 1 at 93.1)00 bales per week, tlio *tock« of Eu rope at that dato will be considerably in creased.
