On rorsidcratioii whereof it Is the opinion of the

grievance* complained of In said bill, and that the

ThebiU Itaelf marked the dl*tlnctlor between money
and property. Tbe author of that bill was a lawyer
who knew tba Import of words, and drew the Haas
between money and property.
Chief Justice Marshall's opinion In 1st Crunch
doe* not bear on Georgia. In the caaa of Douglas
tbe money w*a taken by consent. In the case cited
in Charlton’* Beport* the question was aa to the dis

Ever since the introduction of Dr. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters it has been obvious Hint
their regulating and invigora l ing properties
arc all-sufficient for the cure of cbonic indi

they are now the standard remedy for these
complaints in every section of the Union.

Beauty’s Best Auxiliary.—Ask the belle
of the season what appointment of her toilet
table holds the highest place in her esteem,
and she will reply, without a moment's re
flection, Hagan’s Magnolia Balm. Nothing,
sbe h thoroughly aware, contributes so pow
erfully to enhance her charms and render her
irresistible as that moat delightful and health
ful auxiliary of beauty. By using it ladies
ure enabled, long after they have passed the
meridian of life, to preserve the youthful
b oom and purity of tiieir complexions, and
where nature bos denied that superlative at
traction, the balm fully compensates for her
deficiencies. feb27-deodlw&wlt
Aggravated Indigestion.—Perrons wh°
are predisposed to dyspepsia, find their suf
ferings from this cause greatly aggravated by
damp weather, easterly winds, and sudden
changes from a mild to a chilling atmosphere.
In the spring, therefore, tbe pangs of indi
gestion arc seriously augmented by the at-
musphereic variations peculiar to the season,
and it is incumbent upon all who desire to
pass through the ordeal of its cold mists and
insalubrious gales with easy stomachs, and
untonnented by the indescribable tcyments
which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and
strengthen the digestive organs with a health
ful and effective vegetable invigorant; and
no one at all familiar with the medical record
of the age, can question for one moment that
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the Tonic best
adapted to this purpose.
The credentials of the Great Restorative
are eunqualled in number and character by
those of any other advertised medicine in the
world. If ever there was a preparation to
rank as a National Remedy, this wonderful
specific has a fair claim to the title. For a
period of twenty years ithasliterallv bein the
Champion Tonic and Alterative on this side
of the Atlantic. In popularity it has never
been approached by any of its would-be
competitors, and its annual sales are so far
in advance of those of any other medicine of
its class, that comparisons would be ridicu
lous. One or two conclaiions is inevitable.
Either the American people are deficient in
common sense, and ir capable of rat ional dis
crimination, or Hostetler’s Bitters is the best
preventive remedy for indigestion, fever and
ague, billions remittent fever, constipation,
rheumatism, nervous complaints, and all mal
adies of an epidemic or endemic type. The
reader will judge for himself which of tbe
two conclusions is most consistent with fact
and reason. deedl w&wit.

Capt. Anderson baa acted outside of hie process

noon he Second Baptist Church was crowded on the
occasion of the faderal services of tbe lata Miss
Sallie O'Keefe. The Rev. Dr. Spaulding delivered an
eloquent and petht tic discourse baaed upon the words
of the old Patriarch, “All these thing* are against
me.” The trial* ard afflictions of Che Christian often
fall grievously, and thickly as the leaves in autumn.
But the earnest divine demonstrated that even In tho
ewe of tbe Patriarch his afflictions were 4 blessing*
In disguise,” and that this Is equally true of every
Christian life. A large concourse accompanied th*
fneeral cortege to the cemetery, thus testifying their
sympathy for a family that has been sorely afflicted.
Batallttl.' more than a year ago tbe eldest daughter
“went to sleep,” and was laid away In the “City of
the Dead; ” then followed quickly after tbe loved
respected and warm-hearted father, and now another
daughter has go..e to repose by the side cf the dear
ones, over whose graves the earth Is still frtah and
the grass scarcely yet beginning to grow. And she
died in the blush and bloom of young womanhood;
over seven tet-n she would have been at the coming of
the next May blossoms.
Wc trust tint tbe death of this young Christian
will impress its solemn lessons upon the young of
the community.

Wants a Situation.
The following from the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger contains sound sense. We
trust it will be heeded:
The very numerous responses to every ad
vertised “situation” in the Telegraph, show
melancholy lack of “clui ccs for business”
in this part of Georgia, and a philosophical
view of the status should satisfy everybody
that it must be a long time before Georgia
can offer much chance for the salaried man
The truth Is, that ever since the war, there
may be said to have been only one regularly
good business in tbe State, and that is money
lending. Money has been in greater demand
and at higher prices than any thing else, and
hence business enterprise lias been taking
that shape. The savings of the people are
being invested in bunks and loan associations,
and will continue to be so invested, until
there la plenty of money to lo.<« at fair
prices, and then capital will seek some other
employment—say in trade or manufacturing
When affairs take this turn there will soring
up a gradual demand for skilled labor of all
kinds, and salaried positions become more
common.
Meantime let the young men of Georgia
reflect that there never will, probably, be
more than one great generally prosperous in
terest in Georgia, and that is the fanning in
terest With a very small capital, a clear
head, sound constitution and Indomitable
>lnck and industry, any young man can tak<^
idd of fanning In Georgia with every
reasonable prospect of winning his way to
comfort and competence. Why should he
not abandon tbe quest for “giluation,” and
aspire to a position from which no man can
reduce him to distress and want by a dis
missal from service ?

The subject of Broad and Narrow Gauge
Railroads are attracting universal attention,
and we are setting forth the advantages
claimed by the friends of the latter. We
shall then show the advantages of the Broad
Gauge. As the means of development rail
ways are unequaled. In tracing their power
we arc lost In amazement, and no one can
possibly deny that they have wrought won
ders in our behalf, and that to strike them
out of existence, would “set the clock of time
back a centurybut we may and should en
quire whether or not they have folly realized
our expectations.
We have in the South vast and inexb&usti-
aole supplies of coal and iron, unequalled for
their purity and richness, and the small cost
at which they can be mined and work, never
theless they remain locked up in our hills
and mountains.
It is a conceded fact that they are the
foundation for all other manufactures. It is
a historical fact that to their development
England owes her superiority as the first
commercial power of the world. Onr de
posits of coal and iron are vastly superior to
hers; yet, with this enormous wealth within
our easy grasp, we are dependent upon others
for the commonest articles of necessity, even
to the nails and screws used in the construc
tion of onr coffins.
Some years since, Congress enacted a pro
tective tariff, and among the articles included
were coal and iron. About tuis time, north
ern railways, with a view to the develepment
of these tinea* of wealth, adopted what was
then considered very low rates of freight
Believing that if these rates could be main
tained that it woald result in their develop
ment, they struggled on for years under the
most adverse circumstances, until at last the
business reached so large an amount in the
aggregate, that it began to pay.
Then it was that they began to reap their
reward which has finally resulted in enrich
ing their people, and giving to those railways
a vast power, which, to-day, is felt through
out the length and breadth of our continent.
To-day our coal and iron interests are less
advanced, than theirs when they commenced
their systematic efforts for their development.
Let ns now exatnino the condition of that
section, and of their railways at that time,
and compare it with our present condition,
and sec what prospect there is for us to de
velop our coal and iron with our present rail
way system.
They had an agricultural interest fully de
veloped. Ours is only partially so.
They had a manufacturing interest firmly
established! We have comparatively, none.
They had a dense population. We have a
very sparse one. -
They had, and still hare, & large immigra
tion, containing ait element of great value to
them, namely; that of skilled and unskilled
labor. We have no immigration, and are
deficient in both skilled and unskilled la
bor.
They had, and still have, an abundance of
capital. We have a scarcity.
So much for the compaiative condition of
that section then, and our own section now.
While their railways were maintaining these
low rates, and thns developing their coal and
iron, they had a well developed agricultural
interest, a firmly established manufacturing
interest, a dense population, a latge and
steady fiow of iHinigration, and a supply of
labor, both ample and skillful,.to sustain
them.
Our railways have none of these advan
tages to sustain them; and, were they to at
tempt a similar policy, it would resulting
signal failure.
Our railways in our mineral regions have
cost us full $30,000per mile, and with bnt one
partially developed interest, that of agricul
ture, with comparatively no manufacturing
interests, with a sparse population, and no
immigration, they necessarily have a very
light business, less by several hundred per
cent than their real capacity.
With their great cost, heavy operating ex
penses and light business, they cannot possi
bly wotk chesp, but must have high rafts
for ail they do in order to sustain themselves.
They cannot work at such low rates as
will extensively develope our coal and iron.
They have tiros far failed to do so.
Now let us compare the condition of the
Nor.born and Southern manuafeturers of
an.
Tbe Northern manufacturer has cheap
on!. Cheap iron, cheap rales of transporta
tion ou tiie raw materia), cheap rates on
supplies for his operatives, cheap rates on his
manufactured goods, an ample supply pf
skilled labor, ample hanking facilities, and
what is uf the first importance to tho manu
facturer, a cash market for his goods.
Tbo Southern manufacturer has dear coal,
dear iron, dear rates of freight on tbe raw
material, dear rales on supplies for Ms opera
tions, dear rates on bis manufactured goods,
scarcety of skilled labor, a great lack of
banking facilities, and worse than all, is com
pelled, in numerous instances, to sell his
goods on a credit.
The first step towards independence, the
development of cur coal and iron, and the
establishment and successful maintainanceof
onr manufactures, is cheap transportation.
This will give us cheap coal, without which,
wc cannot maintain them.
With narrow gauge railways, with their
small cost, their light operating expenses,
and consequently low rates, we esn develop
our coal and iron, and build np and sustain
manufactures.

the farmers.
The convention of farmers is a fine body
of men, both physically and mentally. They
have done an immense amount of business in
their three days session. They talked a good
deal, too, but well and pointedly. I have
been struck with tbe force and grace of iheir
speeches. Long talks have been out of the
question. These planters have a neat way of
snubbing down chaffy talk that is admirable.
One sophomore chap, half tight, was allowed
to go on a few minutes, when a unanaimous
assault of applause drowned him down. He
oracnlated, and at the same time the conven
tion applasded. Not a word eould be heard,
but yet the convention cheered him with a
racket that left him unheard. At length, he
stopped, bewildered, and the business went
on. «.
Fulton was represented by Robert Baugb,
Hark Johnson and T. B. Camp. Mayor

S’!he fint day Colonel ScreTen, Mayor of
Savannah, In behalf of Savannah, made a
fine reception speech, In which he alluded to
the happy selection of Savannah as the place
for the Convention. I quote this paragraph:
“Here Oglethorpe lead his little colony;
here tho first blow of the ate was struck
which leveled the forest; here the first Colo
nial Assembly met; here the first free Legis
lature of Georgia sat; here were fought the
first and bloodiest conflicts; here^livcd Na
thaniel Greene; here died Pulaski, and in thi3
immediate vicinity Jasper illustrated by his
life the prowess and the courage of the hero.
Not far from this spot aro tho crumbling foun
dations of the first cotton gin ever invented,
and from this port the first steamship essayed
to cross the stormy bosom of tho Atlantic,”
General Colquitt responded well, thanking
the citizens of Savannah for their hospi
tality. He also congratulated tbe Society
on its labors, and he said it had given to the
agricultural interests of the Stale.

Secretary Lewis, in his annual report,
urged the establishment of a Society organ,
advocating it lengthily.
OATS,
This subject was discussed in all of Its
bearings save one. That peculiar phase
known as “Wild Oats” was left untouched.
The raising of oats was advocated as being
as valuable a crop as com.
JAMBOREE.
As usual, these irresistible folks in Savan
nah run broad gauge on the subject of “Jam
boree.” They eat a man and drink bin;

all over the ciuntry on jolly excursions.
They gush over with hospitality. Two-
liras of the Convention at ibis identical
moment are founder d. The first pi&ht Mr.
Charles Green, a rich merchant, gorged
them to the brim with his punch and
oysters. An excursion down the river to
day finished them. Tho whole riffling of
them are as limp as Sounders.
TRE SECOND DAY.
The individual movement of sen 'ing CoL
C. W. Howard to Europe us a private immi
gration agent was unanimously indorsed.
The Committee, headed l>y Sir. Barnett,
submitted an able report on 'county subjects
.or investigation. The following general
subjects were recommended:
Original condition of the farm. Prepara
tion of land. Fertilization. Planting and
sowing. Cultivation. Gathering and saving
crops. Special crops. Tools and utensils.
Stock. Food and supplies. Marketing. Re
cording and understanding results.
This report was a very fine one, and lengthy.
Mr. Jones, of Burke, delivered a good ad
dress on sheep. He urged that the farmers
raise them more. General ground was taken
in favor of a dog law.
THE AGRICULTURAL LAND SCRIP.
The most important matter bpfore tbe
Convention urns the disposition <>f the land
scrip. This is a big botje. The following
places are after it sharply:. Milledgeyille,
Athens, Gridin, Dahluncga, Marietta, each
with a zealous advocate loaded with a big
speech. The question cam® up on a resolu
tion of CoL Howard referring to Iho possi
bility that Georgia may not be entitled to it,
and looking to steps to secure It Irrevocably.
This sprang the mine.
Gen. Phillips, of Marietta, offered a reso
lution giving it to Marietta, and hacking it
with a speech in behalf ol the Georgia Mili
tary Institute. The General made a good
effort, and brought down the house repeated
ly. fie plead eloquently for his place. He
paid a glowing tribute to the graduates of
the institute, and showed their splendid record
in the war. The matter was not acted on,
bnt postponed for some more jamboree.
This subject is going to be a tough one to
Snnlly settle. The claims are confil '*
a high degree, The fightjng wpl Ig . ...
The convention passed a resolution to memo
rialize the Legislature to give the society the
settlement of the matter. This closes tbe
Georgia Western Canal subject for this ses
sion.
Colonel Weems made a takidg speech on
this subject to the convention, find a resolu
tion was passed for the President to appoint
a committee of three to memorialize Con-
I tcss on the subject. . CoLnel Weems made a
: ine impression and did great good to the vast
scheme of benefit to Georgia. Tbe committee
appointed consists of CoL T. Hardeman, of
Macon, CoL Atklqson, of Catpden, aqd Col.
Steadman, of Newton.
THE SECURITY ACTS.
A resolution was passed recommending
the repeal of the lien act of 186G, and the
mortgage or security net of December 13,
1871, which make the farmers vassals to the
factors, discouraging tbo culture of food in
the cotton region, and transfers the property
of the planter to the factor.

“That inkstand? Yes, it has a history,

Msg Hastings was indeed an indefatigable
romance hunter. She was always looking
for situations where the romantic predomi
nated. She would have succeeded as a
dramatist, without a doubt She was ap
parently as happy as mortal could be on the
morning in question, nestled in the depths of
my scarlet lounge, perfectly certain that she
looked picturesque in her dark green street
suit relieved by the daintiest linen.
“Comehere,pet!’’ saidshe; and a bunch
of white wool, with a blue ribbon tied atone
end of it, marking a spot wherein a dog’s
neck would be, trotted mysteriously toward
her. What propelling power there could be
in the shaggy thing was a wonder I could
never get over, but somehow it managed to
spring into Msg’s arms, and then the silence
assured me that my story was expected.
The surroundings were favorable forstory-
telling, it is true. The room heavily wain
scoted with dark wood; the cases of books
of &11 times and of ail varieties; tho long
windows richly draped with scarlet brocade
lined with exquisite lace; the thick, soft car
pet of mottled green; the Turkish lounges,
the quais chairs, luxuriously upholstered;
the bronzes on the mantel and in niches and
comers—bronzes that told old stories of my
thology; the engravings on (he wall; the
little gems in oil selected for their wonderful
coloring— an autumn Beene, a burning ahio, a
group of German peasants; the glowing fire
of sea-coal and the polished hearth and fender
—all appealed to the love of tho beautiful
aad the picturesque, while the cold, unceas
ing rain, the bore, gaunt trees, dripping
shrubbery and the blanched grass, drove
the thoughts within for solace and amuse
ment.
Ji’lie inkstand that Mag Hastings referred to
was a pretty afiiir in Swiss carving. It rep
resented two little peasants carrying water,
the buckets suspended from a pole resting in
a hand of each. Of coarse the water pails
were the ink recentades.and the pole was the
pen rack. It was poetie and realistic at the
same time, and os pretty a trifle for a library
tablo as one would wish to see.
“ The story is a sad one, Mag,” said I, “ it
will give you the blues for the rest of the
day.”
“ So much the better,” she answerd, with
a truo dramatic love of the horrible—“so
much tho better. I’d like to be stirred up a
little. I fear I’m too comfortable. A little
dash of imaginative sorrow is needed to re
lieve this perfect enjoymeuL A little shade
throws out the good points of anything, you
know. Isn’t it so, pet?" and she pinched
the little appendage dignified by the came of
a tail till a sharp yelp came out of the soft
white mass in her arms. “ There, I told you
so, pet; nowydu'll know what true repose
is.”
“I should scold you, Msg,” said I, “if it
were the least use in tho world, but you ere

you shadow enough, without doubt."
“When I was In Venice—f I commenced,

upright, and giving the little dumpling of a
poodle a push that brought out a most
spirited yelp. “When wore you ever in
Venice?”
“Why, you knew, Mag, that I was abroad
more than two years. In fact, I had just re
turned when you and I became acquainted,”
I replied, wondering a little at tho unusual
interest she appeared to take in the com
mencement of my story,
“Oil, I know that," she replied. “But I
never heard you say anything aoout Venice;’’

Wttl-
We do not, say many, like this religion of
faith. Give us something we can sec, which
addresser- itself to our senses. Show us the
good. Those who reason in thla way find
themselves under the necessity of walking by
faith in the ordinary business life. If yon
are a merchant and wish to buy a bill of
goods in London or Paris you will find that
you cannot do it wiihout faith. Iu the first
place you purchase of a banker a bill of ex
change for the amount yon dcsiie to trans
mit. You pay your money andin returnyou
receive a piece of paper which fa his order on
his agent. Here fa faith in the banker.
Then you send this order to London. . You
confide the funds to your agent there. Here
fa another act of faith. The goods j ou pur
chase must be transported. This implies
your faith in the vessel and its commander,
or have insured, and then this implies faith
in the insurance office, fince more: When
you receive yoqr goods you sell to your
customers ou a credit of thirty, forty or
nipet; (fays, ana this implies faith in you*
patrons. You know that the bill of ex
change you buy may> us others Similarly pur
chased have, prove worthless, and whilst it fa
transported on the great deep to its destina
tion the electric wire may, under the deep,
be bearing the report of its worthlessness.
Your foreign agent may deoeive vou. The
insurance company may fail, or tlic parties
to whom you credit the goods may never pay
nou. But you have faith and you work.
The entire commercial world .docs business
by faith; Take this away, and you produce
a panic which reduces multitudes to bank
ruptcy and ruin. So men most cultivate the
earth by faith. So all domestic and social
enjoyment depends on faith. Why, tbcp,
object to faith when tbelntcrests of the soul
are involved J Why pot believe thpt God fa
able, that God is willing tp do all that He has
promised? Why hot from this moment have
'aitfi'in Him? As you have or have it not,
so are yop ate alien or a child.—Bee, IT. T.

Christian Courtesy.—Every man ha3
hfa faults, his failings, his peculiarities.
Every one of us finds himself crossed by
such failings of others from hour to hour;
and if we were to present them all, or even
notice all, it would be intolerable. If for
every outburst of hasty temper, and every
rudeness that wounds us in onr daily path,
we were to demand an apology, require an
explanation, or resent it hy retaliation, daily
intercourse would be impossiMe. The very
science of social life consists in that gliding
fact which avoids cor tact with the sharp an
gularities of character, which d«« not seek
to adjust or care them all, Put covers them aa
if it did not sea $o a Christian spirit throws
a cloak over these tilings. It knows when it
fa wise not to see. That microscopic dtoj

tious men who are forever blaming, dissent
ing, complaining—disappears in the large,
calm gaze of love. And oh, it fa this spirit
which onr Christian society lacks, and which
we shall never get till each one begins with
his own heart,
The Book of Proverbs —If wish to
find a system of ethics better than all the
“Poor Richards” for practical use, and better
in theory than all ibe books o! casuistry
studied in the schools, read the Book of
Proverbs. It is a wonderful book. It fa full
of common sense. It fa discriminating and
yet downright It hits the nail squarely
every time. As a means of success in bus -
ness, ss a nade meeum in our intercourse with
men, good and bad, sluggish and excitable,
cunning and Eimple, with men of a!' sorts in
all states, with all characters, there fa nothing
in literature which equals it or even resem
bles it I advise you to make it a rule of
your life to read two verses in Proverbs be
fore commencing the work of each day. If
you would like to have the. name of never
doing a foolish thing, or using a foolish argu
ment, or uttering a foolish opinion, study the
Proverbs of Solomon till the spirit has pen
etrated to the very marrow of your daily
life.

a fair trade has been done at stiffening though
not quotably higher figures. Holden are
firm at outside rates, aud an advance' seems
to be indicated.
An increase in tbe supply of grain has met
the pressing demand experienced a week or
two ago. And prices are settling down ta
old rates. The growing scarcity of wheat,
and the consequent difficulty of obtaining a
supply of flour, has caused an advance on
the higher grades. At present, the demand
is largely in excess of supply. This tactmay
keep corn at the present, or even cany It to
higher figures. But little com could now bo
placed at inside rates.
Domestics are in fair demand; held very
