Quarles arc prominently spoken of for Die Governorship of Tennessee. Of* There is not now, nor has there been since the war, a juicery or groggery in Hilton county. Three cheers for glorious old Milton! Or Crops in Forsyth county are line. The people are industrious and peaceable; they are a unit for having an election this fall in accordance with the Constitution ar Colonel Enoch Steadman, of Cov ington, was on board the steamer Tennes see, which was burned, and escaped with the loss of all of bis baggage. The Colonel was two days without anything to cat. KT The Norfolk Journal contends that fish intended to be eaten should always be killed, and not suffered to die, as is usually the case, before they are offered for sale. It recommends fishermen to kill their fish by driving an awl into the brain. - JW 1’isciculture has proven to be very profitable in Europe. It is well worthy of the attention of the people of Georgia There are numerous localities in the mid dle and northern sections of the State where fish ponds can be economically con s trueted. OT The Cincinnati Enquirer takes de cided ground against Chinese immigra tion. China has a population of over 400,- OOOJXX). Labor is two dollars a day in the United States; in China, two and three cents a day OT Our cotemporarics throughout the South are publishing a statement that the name of the Air-Line Railroad from At lanta to Charlotte has been changed to the “ Richmond and Atlanta Railroad.” This is not strictly in accordance with the facts. It was changed to the ** Atlanta and Rich mond Air-Line Railway Company.” OT The Chattanooga Times says that a “gushing young clerk on i’ryor street, Atlanta, day before yesterday, while seek ing to fascinate a young lady with his con versation, took from her, in payment for smnll purchase, a $5 bill, and handed back $1 75 in change." A reward of $5 is offered for tho discovery of the Pryor street clerk. m - m tW Although Cumming is a peaceable town, yet her energetic citizens are not disposed to be inactive and croak about “hard times.” There will be turned out from her workshops, this season, some four hundred two-horse wagons, far superior in durability and workmanship to nine-tenths that are imported hero. We advise our readers to encourage, foster and stimulate home enterprise. t3T Fourteen Japanese noblemen ore studying in the grammar school connected with Rutger's College, of Brunswick, N. J. Two of them are related, by blood, to the royal priesthood of Japan, They propose, on their return home, to establish a system of collegiate education similar to that of the United States. One has joined the Methodist and another the Dutch Reformed •Church. tW J)r. J. F. Grant, who at the time of <tbc surrender was Medical Inspector of General J. E.

He has temporarily abandoned the practice of ills profession on this account, and Is now travelling in the interest of an insurance company. Uls homo at present is Nashville, Tennessee. tS~ Hon. John Hugh Smith, Judge of the Criminal Court at Nashville,Tennessee, died on the 7th instant, after a brief illness. He was 51 years of age. In 1815-1S50-1-2, be was Mayor of Nashville. 1853 ho was a member of tho Legislature. 1862-3-4-6, having sided with the Union, he was again Mayor of the city. He was Judge of the Criminal Court from 1867 to the date of bis death. and pay well. Viewed in a moral they arc always remunerative. Indirectly they arc the best media for advertising the commercial, manufacturingand profession- interests of the city where located. Socially considered, their value cannot be estimated. Morally viewed, their price is beyond estimate. Therefore,as we have secured Oglethorpe, let us have ilcrcer, and pay, if it need be, to invite any college for males or females, whether they be under Protestant, Catho lic, or Israelitish influence, to locate in, or near, our city. We can have free public schools, too. These latter will usefully stimulate the former, and the denominational colleges will contribute much to insure a high standard of scholarship in the public schools. tS~ Among the popular errors which almost every ono espouses without inquiry as to its truth, is that which asserts that dogs are more liable to hydrophobia in July and August than any other months in tho year. From timo immemorial, cer tain days in midsummer, when Sirius, the princpal star in the constellation of dog, rises and sets with the sun, have been known as “dog days.” This, perhaps, has bad something to do with impressing the popular mind with the error above indicated. Statistics havo long since exposed it. Nor is it by any means proven that canine madness has any con nection with hot weather. It seems rather to be produced by continued dampness than heat. The unnecessary muzzling of dogs during the “dog days” is exciting the attention of the societies for the proven tion of cruelty to dumb animals. Stono Mountain. Professor J^E. Willct and sixteen mem' bers of the senior class of Mercer Univer sity, (as we learn from the Index,) recently visited Stone Mountain. While there be made a trigonometrical estimate of the height of the mountain. He says that it is 655 feet abovo the rails of the Georgia Rail road at the depot. In White’s Historical Collections, “ It is said to be 3,000 feet.” In White’s statistics of Georgia, “It is said to be 2£2G feet above the creek, and seTen miles In circumference.” Old residents at the mountain claim a height of 1,000 to 1,100 feet. With a base of five miles lncir- fcrcncc, and an altitude of 555 feet, the mountain contains about one-tenth of cubic mile of granite. He estimates the height of the mountain above tho level of the ocean at 1,610 feet. Educational Enterprise. Atlanta ought to boa great educational enter. Donations to secure the location of .’rotostant or Catholic Presbyterian or Baptist Colleges, and to Invite educational nstitulionsofany kind to locate in Atlanta, ire suggested by tht soundest principles of lublic poliey, and can be defended as in tccordancc with the requirements of the nost rigid principles of city economy. While the Inauguration of public schools, free to all the children resident in the city, :an be shown to be the best Investment that the people can make on the score of domes tic economy, educational institutions, f' invito students from a distance, can be oionstratcd to be the best commercial cn terprises a community can engage in. T former relate to household economy, so speak; the latter arc enterprises that look to the inviting ot the expenditure of the earnings of other communities in our own locality. Nothing pays a larger per centum upon thecapitai invested by a city.than medical, law, theological, aBd literary institu tions, that invite students from a distance to expend their money for tuition, board lodging and clothing in its limits. Viewed in a commercial and in a peen ,piary sense, such investments always pay College Dormitories. Whether the Neal House is snited to the uses of Oglethorpe College or not, docs not depend upon the want of room for dormi tories, bat rather the want of a spacious campus, which, we agree with our corres pondent “P,” may be important as a ven tilator. It is to tho dormitory system in col leges that this writer objects. Having spent a period of fonr years where the old fogy system of students’ dormitories was vogue, be has bceu ever since deter mined that his boys shall never pass through such a demoralizing experience. The “stag” life of old-fashioned college discipline is incompatible with his views the kind of life a boy should lead while beiDg trained for the active duties of real life. Cambridge and Oxford, in England, Yale and Dartmouth, the Virginia Univer sity, and other institutions, where the dor mitory system is practiced, are unfortu nately situated, and the tendency even in those institutions is to seek lodgings out of the college buildings, where the influences of the family can be wholesomely exerted. The age and renown of many old insti tutions of the kind referred to sustain them spite of the objections that may be suc cessfully urged against tbe dormitory sys tem. New institutions, or those obout to remove to new localities, cannot stand tbe pressure of the judgment of experienced educators, now generally prononneed against tbe old dormitory system in col leges which originated far back, in time, tho asceticism of Monkish teachers. The most successful of colleges in tbe South (if the number of students and gen eral popularity Indicate success,) is Cum berland University, located at Lebanon, Tennessee, where more than four hundred students were in attendance lost year. Dar ing tbe war every building belonging to the institution was destroyed. The pro fessors bear the students’ recitation in rent ed rooms. Neither professors, nor stu dents, lodge in a building belonging to tbe University. The former live in their own, or in rented houses, and the students board with the citizens of the place. There is no such thing there as even a college campus. Nor docs the college morality (7) of the olden time, that so tended to destroy tbe individuality of the student, and deprive him of independence of thought and action, injuriously affect any one connected with that institntion. Tho poetry of college pranks, and the evils of old timo college boy tyranny over the “ poor freshman,” will do to sing of and talk about after the victims “have got well of the ills” to which they were subjected; bnt it Is better in this day and time to let the pensioners upon the government at West Point and Annapolis suffer the tor tures of tho long polo of “Menagerie” ex hibitors, and the “greenings” that are mer cilessly inflicted upon the unfortunate junior “middies.” Civilians have little use for or any patience in our day and time with tho silly absurdities and the ridicu lous immoralities of college life, under the old fashioned “stag” system of lodging stu- dents in dormitories, far removed from the beneficial influences of genteel families. The writer regrets that, while tempo rarily engaged on The Constitutions’s columns, he has appeared to commit the paper upon tho question of the policy of the trustees of Oglethorpe College, in pur chasing the Neal House in which to open its exercises. About a question of tbis kind, there will be differences of opinion among the friends of the institntion. Tho writer, therefore, desires that bis opinion bo only regarded for what it is worth, and not as a reflection of the gen eral judgment of the community, with which he may or may not agree. Local and Other Matters. Jfr. local: Once or twice a week, I no in your paper that one of our citizens, or one our citizen’s children, has been Ul'cd, or so distressingly mutilated as to render the unfortu- creature a cripple for life, by,tho switch en gines or regular trains of someone of our several railroads. Tbis cax be prevented to a very con siderable extent You have observed that nine- tenths of these accidents occur to little boys, all the railroads centering In Atlanta have day watchmen for their car yards. These watchmen should be instructed by tho railroad managers, 1, if necessary, empowered by city ordlnacc, to arrest each and every little boy or little girl un- thc age of fourteen years found among the cars in the ear yard, or about the railroad shops, unattended by parents or nurse or guaidian, and they should be put in the guard-bouse and the parent or gnardian made to pay the usual fine to get them out. This would make the parent more careful to keep the children at home, and would have a powerful influence over the children. At lanta, more than any other city, should he strict this matter. Our railroads run in every direc tion thronah and through this city. Donrgctbe importance of thisononr railroad authorities and our city fathers. Yours, etc., Carnot*. Miss Fannie Holmes’ School fob Bovs axu falls —The dosing cxcrelses of the first session or this school came off at Trinity Church basement yesterday. We confess to have never witnessed a more interesting assemblage of “ lit tle folks,” and to bare more heartily enjoyed inch a literary feast as was presented on the occasion. Uiss Holmes seems peculiarly adapted to her pro fession—that of educating the young. The profi ciency displayed by the popils, in dedamation and composition, reflected mnch credit on teacher well as. popil. By some, Miss II. would be termed an old fogy in teach In gins she Ignores the popular idea of the rapid advancement by the young in the languages before the foundation is laid is the simple role or English grammar, read ing, writing and orthography. Her pupils evince rare knowledge or these minor branches, as some are disposed to call them, and displayed, on yesterday, an nnnsnal proficiency In them. Wc were peculiarly struck with the valedictory ad dress, as It was replete with original Ideas that would havo reflected credit upon older heads. All the accomplishments In refined manners are strictly taught here, and guarded with great care by the teacher, “eheartily commend this school the patronage of the public, and those having children to educate cannot plane them under bet ter tutelage than that of Miss Holmes. The State Agkicdltokai. Convex tion. We are requested by Colonel D. W. Lewis, Secre tary of the State Agricultural Soeiety, to give no tice that tbe delegates to the Agricultural Con vention, assembling here on the 16th of August, insure themselves free passes both ways on the railroads, must send their returns to his ofilco at an early a day as practicable—the object of the Soeiety and the Convention being to cherish and advance the cultivation and tho love of tbe culti vation of the soil, by which both press and peo ple live. Secretary Lewis feels assured that tbe press of tho State will, as in the past, freely ex tend this notice to their readers free of charge. As a matter oi general interest, will our contem poraries publish the names of delegates from county societies to the August Convention? The following Societies have appointed delegates far: Beach Island Planters’ Club-Jonathan M. Mil ler, Paul F. Hammond, S. D. Linton. Columbia county—Dr. Henry B. Casey, J. P. Williams, Dr. W. Martin. Spalding eonnty—Dr. J. T. Ellis, S. W. Mau gham, S. W. Blood worth. Washington county—Col. T J. Smith, Thomas Warthcn, —Moses. Georgia Militia to bo Reorganized. Editori Constitution: I bear that the Democrats intend to resist the adjournment from day to day policy of the Bullock fac tion In the Legislature, and urge legisla tion for tbe good of tbe State. It is farther rumored that if Congress repeals tbe act forbidding the organizing of a militia force in the State, that they will press the passage of a militia bill, re-or ganizing the militia of Georgia. The bill will provide for the enrollment by the sheriff* in their respective counties of all able-bodied citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, not exempt by law. Duplicate blanks of the rolls in each eonnty will be made out by tbe sheriff, and one deposited with tbe ordinary and the other forwarded to tbe Secretary of State. After being enrolled, the militia in each militia district will organize into compa nies. elect officers (who are to be com missioned by the Governor), and after wards form into regiments, brigades and divisions, and elect regimental, brigade and division commanders. The minor details are not given, but I suppose will be similar to the old militia system. The ancient militia muster, with ail its fan, foibles and faux, pans, is abont to be resumed. Kesurgum. Is he Pig or Pap? Editors Constitution: The es-Govcrnor of Idaho, who assnmes the task of settling reconstruction in Georgia, is an enigma. We applaud his strictures on Bullock, and only ask him to "tw on McDaff! Damned bo he who cries, hold—enough !♦’ Tho record of the New Era, when Bard was its editor, shows that daring the can vass he was Bollock’s champion, and the only one, save another, in the State. It further etiows that Bard, with executive patronage before his eyes, claimed the honor( ?). with the assistance of sharp and quick, or electing Bullock Governor. He failed to get as much “pap” as he deserved, and then abused Bollock till he bought him out at a price greatly above his value. Now he proposes to settle reconstruction, and makes a great blow of what he is going to do; and the only evidence we have of his creed is tbe oublication of the Enforcement .Act as standing matter. We think that this Act is in keeping with the official acts of Bollock, and a true Georgian should spurn both. A man from Sing Sing can condemn one and appland the other—be cause it pays better to do it that way. But ho will be pig or pop—unless he prefers to bo both. I- D. Hoe. Collingsworth Institute.—The exam ination of tbis institution took place last Thursday evening and Friday, at Talbot- ton. Messrs. McLaughlin and Drake bad made no preparation whatever for tho ex amination, bnt went through with it Jnst like an every-day lesson. Collingsworth is in able hands and deserves the patronage of all. A New Article of Esfokt.—We i ticed among the freight of the America other day about aix hundred boxes canned pineapples, anew article of export, which are put up by a company organized for the purpose at Cedar Keys, Florida. This is the second shipment of the season. £aPonnoA Republican. Mr. Local: Among the different sugges tions communicated to TnE Constitution, in connection with the Confederate monument, the article signed “Jackson,” in yonr Tuesday’s issue, I think the most sensible I have read on the subject, and J do hope the ladies of the Memo rial Association will adopt his views. Tho mono, ment belongs to tho heroes whose deeds and mem. orics it is intended to perpetuate, and la the r midst should it stand, a sentinel to gnard their resting-place. Tho growth of cities, the ncccssi. ty of improvements, or sanitary considerations, havo often oompclicd tho removal of cemeteries to other locations more suitable, and where tho dost of dcparicd dear ones may repose undis turbed In their silent resting-place. And if tbo prognostications of far-seeing n.cn bo true, At lanta may soon extend around and berond the present cemetery, and at no very distant day; and when snch an event docs occur, no doubt tbo clti zens may, and will, remove tho remains of their departed friends to a more secure resting-place— more distant and less liablo to be encroached upon by utilitarian progression. In such an event, the place now occupied by tbo Confederate dead might cease to bo respected, say migU, bccaeso such things havo happened, and are happening in evory ago. The pyramid of Cheops was not strong enough to protect its founder from desecration. The catccombs be neath a portion of the city ofFarisare filled with human hones, taken from burying-grounda whose location it now covered with churches, theaters, stores and workshops, of which by-gone genera tions never dreamod of. Even in mo c modern cities, on this continent, I have seen the pick and shoTel exhume remains of hnman mortality where none now living knew that the bnsy street had once been the silent grave-yard. Snch rea sons, and many more, which I eonld name, tf time and space permitted, point tbe cemetery as the only place the monument should stand as a land mark and a bond between the present and future generations, that this place shall be sacred for all time to come. The center ora bnsy city Is no place for snch monument. The criticisms of the stranger, or the oarelcss glance of the passing citizen is not tbe homage with which wo wonld wish to honor onr heroic dead. Goto tbe silent resting-place, and if the green monnd that covers their narrow house, recalls no emotion*, no sympathy with their patriotism, which gave home, kindred, and even life, for what all mankind bolds doar-Lis myr, if. beside their lonely graves, wo cannot do their memory justice, we never can amid the jostling, selfish crowd that throng tho streets of bnsy cities. . ’ Galoaccs.' “ ing'city. Two or three propositions are before the council for the bnildingof watrr-work.«,an enter prise that will cost n»t Iru than a half million of dollars, axd yet absolutely necessary to the pros perity of the city. Beside this, the qnestion of tho Capitol will probably be an expensive one to At lanta, for treasure most he poured out freely to prevent its removal back to MiUedgevillc; not only on behalf of the interests of Alanta, bnt also the people of the whole State. The debt of the city must needs be swollen to largo dimensions, and at an early day. In view of this fart, it be comes the City Fathers, the custodians of tho peo ple’s interests and the city’s prosperity, to appre ciate the tremendous responsibility of their posi tion, and to weigh well all matters before them, particularly of a character affecting the finances. They will bo held strictly accountable for their acts, and it behooves them to bosband our resour ces with the utmost care, and save every possible dollar, to prevent the accumulation of a debt be- yoed certain figures, which most unavoidably be reached, bnt which wonld yet startle a people, who, heretofore, have been comparatively out of debt. Bnt while this is tree, the people of Atlan ta will always sustain the Connell In all expend- iturcs necessary for the proper police of the city, especially in the matter of working and nutting In first-class order the numerous streets. The streets of a city are the aveancs of its prosper ity; they are more-they are the veins through which pass it* life-currents. No city can be pros perous without streets in the very best order. Their condition vitally affects the business, tho pleasure, and the health of the people, both as to themselves and strangers. Therefore, we think Council committed an error in determining ;to abandon all tbe streets of the city, save Marietta street, for two months to came. All the streets of the rity mast hare proper attention, and. if need bo, (at there i* need) let tho street force be largely increased. The street committee reports that work ought to be done at once on a number of streets. lf,lt ought to be done, it should be done. Atlanta, perhaps, never had a chairman of a street committee who has won, and is winning, greater encomiums from our citizens than tho pre sent one, Mr. Mahoney, and it results from tho earnestness and energy with which be plies the work of grading and bcantitying onr streets Let Council give him all the force necessary, and wc believe it will, as the resolution in qne-tion was passed near the close of a prolonged session, when all were tiiel out, and the matter was not debated. Tax Fayzb. July 9,1810. Mkrckr University.—We trust that the City Hall will ho filled to-morrow night by onr citizens who feel an interest in the removal of Mercer University to this city. Have our read ers viewed its location here in the light of dol- ars and cents? Mercer is the favorite institu tion of ono of the leading denominations of the South, with an ample endowment and an excel lent faculty. . It is not nnreasonable to assert that five years after removal to a place as central, accessible and healthy as Atlanta, Mercer will have over three hundred students from atl parts the State. These students will expend, upon an average, (500 each, amounting to $10,000 or $10,000 per annum. When the amounts expended by members of the faculty, trustees and visitors are added to this. It will swell tho amount stijl larger. But the institution will add vastly to tho material wealth of the town in the amount invested in bricks and mortar. And in addition tothis, wo can educate onr own sons at “ Mercer ” and " Oglethorpe,” and save annually a large amount which wonld go abroad ror tuition and board. Wc ventnre the prediction that many a youth in our midst will bless the advent of these institutions of learning here, because a way will be opened for those who arc worthy and needy to receive the benefits of a collegiate education. Bnt there arc a few who aro not utilitarian enough to view it in this light, who are opposed colleges being located hero in tho midst of a great and crowing city. To them wo commend tho sonnd views of a writer in iho Presbyterian Index, used in defending the location of Ogle thorpe College here. The writer is not a resident of Atlanta. He gave his views because be thought Atlanta and Atlanta Christian character unjustly Impugned: 1 do not seo that there is any valid objection to Atlanta. Its population, it is truo, from the manner in which it has been gathered together, may not be as homogeneous as that of older cities but it is not more heterogeneous nor more wicked than aro all new and Increasing cities. Besides this, the elective affinity principle in social elements Is rapidly causing a sorting, a classi fying of tbe people. Those who are of the same likes and dislikes arc insensibly yet cer tainly associating; and in consequence, at no dis tant day, Atlanta:wHl exhibit as staid and>s well cultured society as can bo found in'any city. Re. Communicated 1. The Confederate Monument—Mr. Lo cal: In the late discussion relating to tho loca- catlon of this monument, by the several city pa pers, not one of them has taken a correct view or the matter. Certainly, tho City Hall is not the proper place, *s I am prepared to show. 1. The ladies of this city are not called upon to erect a monument to the Confederate-dead of the whole country; and I take it that if they shall dis charge the sacred duty resting upon them to raise a monumental pile to the memory or those heroes resting in their own locality, they win have per formed quite as much as ought reasonably to be expected of them. The presumption is that other localities will do the lame, thus allowing an equal distribution of the labor of love. To place in conspicuous place at Atlanta a monument that shall embrace territory extending from.“Stone wall Jackson's gravo to that of tho Texas Ban ger,” does not strike mo as coming within the le gitimate sphere ot the ladles of this city. Let it rather bo a matter oriocal pride with ns to beau tify and keep green tho turf upon those lonely graves, and at the same time mark our own par ticniar spot with a shaft piercing, the very skies. It will net do to neglect the graves themsolves and pat elsewhere, as It were, for public admlra tion only, a column that will be meaningless on account of its remoteness from the graves of those whose memory it seeks to perpetuate. 1. The City Hall is an Improper, place, from the fact that in the march of improvement apparent everywhere In this city, the day Is, perhaps, not far distant when tho City Hail lot will have give place to that spirit or progress wh ich is our boast. It may be that tho proposed monument would scarce be complete ere that particular plat at ground would 1)4 cut into city lots, and the auctioneer's bell heard to jingle in inappropriate proximity thereto. In snch an event would the Confederate monu tent be respected as is should be. Traffickers g-ld and silver arc net conspicuous for their ten der regard for the sacrcdecss of anything! 3- The precedent is a bad one, and the City Fathers should not have donated any pari of the public ground for the surjwsg. I might say much in elucidation of this point, bqt leave (he thongh’fnl reader to reach bis conclusions. By all means put tho monument out at tbecem- ctcry. Let it be a matter of hoc al rxnix with us. Neath its shadow will repose Virginians and Texans, whilst the ladies of those States can erect their monuments, and Georgians will be found near them; for onr brave hoys fell upon every field. In connection with the monument, we will also make tbe surroundings beautiful, and there UftdUtufbcd will remain a spot which generations yet to come urfil hold IQ reverence. July 1, ISM. Communicated ) A Word to the City Council.—From the proceedings of tbe City Couneil.wfafch appear ed in yesterday morning’s papers. the people can form some Idea of the labors, present and prospec tive, of that body, and of the great responsibility consequently resting upon each member of it. The period has arrived when tpc popple pf AUauta are compelled.to undertake groat internal im provements to meet thewaatsof aspeedy expand- Criminal Lunacy* Tho frequency with which insanity is plead in extenuation of crime is arousing the attention of benevolent and scientific men. The attention of our renders is called to tho following paragraph from tho Phil adelphia Age: In tho report of tho Prison Association of New York, for 1870, tho author recom mends tho appointment of a commission of eminent mental pathologists and criminal jurists to collect and compare all the re corded facts bearing on this subject; to develop tho principles thereto appertaining; to devise some rules that would enable courts and juries to decide on criminal cases involving tho question of insanity, with some approach to uniformity; and to suggest provisions to protect society against danger from persons subject to insano im pulses. As insanity has got to be a stand- ng defense for all crimes, from stealing a ham to shooting a man or woman, it is highly important that those who aro called upon to decide such cases should havo a sound and reliable theory to act upon. If men aro mad, let them be kept in confine ment, so that they cannot do harm to oth ers—if they are not mad, let them suffer in the penitentiary or on the gallows. Agricultural Meeting in Walton County. LoYert Female CoUego. The closing exercises of this excellent institntion ot learning, at Talbotton. took place last week. The sophomore class in select reading acquitted themselves hand somely, evincing thorough training. The following yonng ladies compose the class: Miss Stella Brooks, Pleasant Hill: Miss Anna Couch, Talbot county; Miss Nannie Cobb. Talbotton; Miss Belle Helms, Alba ny; Miss Nannie Leitncr, Geneva; Miss Adelia Lnmsden, Talbot county; Miss FannieOwen,Wavcrly Hall; Miss Rebecca Owen, Pleasant Hill; Miss Lillie Thorne, Albany; MissCadie Willis, Talbotton. The junior class read original composi tions, which elicited universal praise. Colonel Charles T. Goode, of Americas, the “silver-tongued orator,” delivered the commencement address, which was pun gent, pithy, patriotic and pointed. The concert, under the direction of Miss Sallie B. Dougherty, was a very pleasant entertainment the instrumental pieces were well executed, the songs well sung, and all gave nndoubted satisfaction to the audience. Not the least moved and interesting fea ture of the commencement was the exhibi tion of the class in calisthenics, or physical training. President Moore had had this class in training only about two weeks: but all were delighted by the ease ana ‘grace with which every motion was per formed. A preliminary meeting was held in tho Court-houso to-day for the purpose of or ganizing an agricultural club. Judge B. S. Sheets was called to the chair, and A. J. Burruss requested to act as secretary. On motion, Resolved, That the chairmhn of this meeting bo requested to call a convention of the farmers of this county on the first Tuesday in August next, at 11 o’clock p. u. 4ved, That an opportunity ho given to all present who desire to go into the or ganization to enroll their names.

But still the objection recurs, that boys in a city, beyond parental control, are thrown into a whirlpool of temptation, throngh which it Is Im possible for them to be conveyed safely. Tho fact is, hoys who are disposed to evil will find means of dissipation and debauchery, place them where yon will; and the temptations of a city are really no greater than those of a village, perhaps less— for the police regulations of a citv are more per. fe-.t, more efficient, than in a village. Besides this, in a city students may board and room in private families; in a village they wonld necessarily have to bo herded together in dormitories on tbe campus. When scattered among families, the do mcstlc influence thrown around them aro eminent ly wholesome. I apprehend that the exemplary deportment of the students of tho Georgia 8tate University is attributable In great measure to thiseanse. There are two largo buildings for dormitories on the campus at Athens; but a very large portion of thosjudents board in families or the city, and In many of the choice families. The same will be the ease in Atlanta. Still farther, a large portion of tbe students will be from tho city. Thcso, of coarse, will lire at their own houses; and these home influences will be beneficial, not onlynpon themselves, bnt, through them, upon their associates.” Having advocated the location of ” Oglethorpe College,” wc ere the earnest advocates or tho lo cation of Mercer University hcie.

Will she consent to be distanced by her competitors? Tho future of Atlanta depends cm the wise, lib eral policy of the present. Look to the FuturL ; 1 Villo’s Lectures on the Chemical Use of manures. Editors Constitution: A communication in a recent issue of TnE Constitution spells incorrectly tbe name of tbe author, whose lectures are in course of translation for The Plantation. These lectures were delivered by George Ville, in 1867, at the Experimental Farm, established by Louis Napoleon, at Vincennes, in Franco. Ville, perhaps, is now the highest authority in agricultural science in Europe. Tho avidi ty with which his writings aro sought is proved by the fact that although these lec tures were' published in February, 1868, in December, 1869. the third Edition was issued. . - . .. ■ It is tbe oblectof the lectures to illus trate and enforce tbo value of chemical fertilizers, to designate the particular ma nures adapted to particular plants, and to give rules and tables for the manufacture of thcso manures. If this work had been published at an early date, and had been generally read, it would have saved thou sands of dollars to the Southern planter and farmer by preventing useless expenditures of money.

The following discussion illustrates the tax sales bill, which passed to-day: Trumbull called up the bill to confirm the titles of purchasers to lands sold for taxes in the late insurgent States. Bayard opposed tbo bill. He said it con firmed sales which had been attended with the grossest irregularities, and the condi tions imposed upon the original owner be fore he can recover his land are most oner ous and unjust. Trumbull said the tnan who neglected to jay bis taxes, deserved to pay costs before to could recover his property. Casserly said the hill was designed to mako a void sale for tuxes a valid one, and to impose conditions of recovery that it were extraordinary, unheard of, and in bis judgment illegal. . ‘ Bayard moved to strike out the clause re quiring the pay mentof costs and penalties, by the original owner, before receiving back his land, which was rejected. Bayard moved to amend that tbo bill shall only be of effect where sales were made according to law. He knew that in some of these sales the cost had been piled up without regard to law. The amendment was rejected and tho bill then passed. Mrs. Lincoln’s pension was postponed. Appropriations were resumed. The Charleston custom house gets $300,000. In executive session, no result was readied. In the House tbe General Disability and Naturalization bills, as amended by tbe Senate, passed by 123 to 53, and goes to the President.

Tbe Senate confirmed Samuel A. Dun can as Assistant Commissioner of Patents, and John M. Thacker, of Virginia, as Ex aminer in Chief the of Patent office.

When, by reason of the disordered ac tion of tbe liver, the bile, instead of freely passing|into the bowels,where it is required as a laxative, overflows into tho stomach, the result is what is ordinarily termed bil iousness. To arrest the distressing and debilitating misapplication of one of tho most important of the animal fluids, it is necessary that the powerful gland which produces it—the liver—should he toned and regulated; and nothing accomplishes this object more speedily as a persevering use of Lippman’s Great German Bitters. The household tonic of Germany for up wards, of a century. july!2-deodlw&wlt A Cross Husband.—Mrs. Smith—’Tho fact is, my husband is becoming so out rageously cross and nervous that there is no living with him. He pretends one day that he has got thcdvspepsia; the next day liver complaint; tho next is sick, with no appetite—declares that there is nothing on the table lit to eat, and so on. It is all non sense, and nothing but his confounded ugliness. From tho very bottom of roy heart, I believe ho wants to worry me to death. Lady Friend—Mrs. Smith. I think you are wrong. No woman has a kinder or more indulgent husband than you. I must confess that! havo noticed aebange in Mr. Smith; but am inclined to think that all he wants is a tonic; and if I were you, I would not be a day without Plantation Bitters in the house. Make him take them moderate- * ly three times a day, and in a short timo I think you will sec a change. My expe rience is that'Plantation Bitters is one of tho best and most delicious tonics in the world; and that for nervousness, loss of appetite, dyspepsia and ail kindred com plaints, there is nothing so good.

This Is especially tho case with all who live by the sweat of their brow. From every pore of the sieve like skin a moisture exudes which contains tho elements of vitality. Thereby the blood is impoverished, the nerves relaxed, the muscles weakened, the digestion Impaired, the bowels disturbed, and the animal spirits depressed. Tho constant drain that pro duces these effects cannot he arrested, be cause it is due to the heat of the atmos phere; but the loss of tho life-sustaining elements can bo supplied bv extra invigor- ation. Now. therefore, is the time to resort to Iiostctter’s Stomach Bitters, the most powerful and healthful of all vegetable tonics. Long experience has proved that nothing else will efficiently sustain and regulate tho system, when wilting down under the double pressure of excessive heat, and constant physical or mental la bor. All persons who havo been tempted to try tlie local “tonics” (so-called) which have been started by sordid speculators in almost every town and village, with a view of “turning a penny ” by the credulity of the unwary, know this to their cost. It is a wise maxim that says “ hold fast to that which is good.” Of the forty millions of aeoplo in the United States, probably onc- ilfth have tested the restorative properties of Uostcttcr’s Bitters and know it to be a specific for dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous weakness, general debility, constipation, fever and ague, and want of appetite; that any of these should be persuaded to experi ment with tho worthless nostrums recom mended by unscrupulous and ignorant du peries seems almost incredible. julyl2-deodlw&wlt Lippman’s Great German Bitters strengthen the debilitated. junc21-deo(14w*w-lt Lippman’s Great German Bitters* an old German Tonic. june2l-deod4w*w4t Lippman’s Great German Bitters strengthen the consumptive. juue21-dcod4w&w4t.
