FOR PRESIDENT: HORACE GREELEY, op NKW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: B. GRATZ BROWN, OP MISSOURI. ATLANTA, TUESDAY', JULY 23, 1872. Judge Parrott The b.ir of the Cherokee court, at Bartow county, passed complimentary resolutions iu honor of Judge Parrott, late deceased, aud the court adjourned a day in tribute to his memory. The writer practiced for four years iu the circuit during Judge Parrott’s iucumbcucy. lie possessed excellent administrative ability, and made a good judge. He despatched business untiringly. lie kept fine order, and maintained thoroughly tlie diguity of the court. He administered erimiual law rigidly. Our New Bukliiiug Ou tlie 15th iustaut we pulled up tlie last stakes and deposited the entire establish ment in Tuk Constitution building. The removal occupied some five or six days, it being necessary to take engine aud presses to pieces. But we are glad to state that no issue of the paper was missed, either daily or weekly. Irregularities there doubtless have been, aud our friends will cheerfully over look them. The removal was at great ex pense, but wc arc repaid by comforts and conveniences seldom enjoyed iu a newspaper office. In a few days we shall he entirely fitted up. In the meantime we shall go to work with renewed energy for tlie instruc tion and entertainment of our host of readers. IIou Dunlap Scott. This worthy gentleman is announced by the Rome papers as candidate for Congress, subject to the nominating convention. Air. Scott lias done the State good service. The Commercial says of him: “For the past month we have seen flatter ing letters from all parts of the preicnt district, soliciting Capt. Scott to give the people the benefit in the National Councils of those talents which have been so illustrious iu the Councils of the State. Oapt Scott single-handed lie fought the thuves and plunderers of the Bullock regime, aud of that late Lcgbluturc in which his wise con- sel did so much to restore the Slate to pros perity, would make his name loved and honored by the sons and daughters of Geor gia through many a vcjir.’* Urants Our worthy neighbor keeps standing at the head of its columns some strong encomiums upon Grant. This is certainly a strange way to w‘*rkfi»r the Democraticcausc. However, as an offset to these encomiums, honored with tlie Democratic indorsement of persistent publication, we give the following opinions of this same Southern oppressor, Grant, by some of his Republican confreres: “General Grant Ls not fit to govern this country.”— Stanton's Dying Words “Grant has no more soul than a dog.” Den. Butler. “Grant lias no more capability than a borse.’ Fighting Joe Hooker. “ Grant is not controlled by constitutional law, but by political * rings.* ”—[Trumbull. “Grani’sSua Domingo business slumps him as a first-class conspirator.”—[Gov. Palmer. “ There are sixteen weighty reasons why Grant should never be Pic idem.”—Colfax. “ Grant is making money out of his posi tion, and that's all lie cares uboutil ”—[aena- tor Carpenter. Colton. The receipts this week are 2,003 bales, 9.000 less than last year and 5,000 less than two years since. It is likely the receipts for next week will be 2,'KiO bates compared with 10.000 last year, aud 0,000 the vc;ir before, and receipts at interior towns 50) bales com p red with 2,uOJ bales last year, and 1,000 the year before. We have bad another rainy week, one day clear and no rain, but the balance of the week has been cloudy and showery every day. The thermouie ci 1ms averaged eighty- five at noon. We may have another week of showery weather, us tlie signs hy which we have been able to foretell this weather have not materially changed. There has been u panic iu the cotton market this week, caused by every one get ting scared at tlie same lime, and all anxious in sell. The spieudid growing crop has not yet been injured by the rains, and it is also generally believed now, that the caterpillars have proved to l>e only gross worms. There is a report prevail ing that there will be sixty thousand bales of new crop exported by the 15\h of September, but wc cannot see how this can be so. The year 1859 was the largest crop year ever known. The first bale of new cotton was received July 28th, aud the total amount of new cot ton received up to September first was 9,700 bales. The yeai 1 V 5U, the first bale of new crop received was July 15th—same time as this year, aud the total amount of new cot ton received up to September first was 115G bales. The latest crops have been 1857, first bale August 15tli; receipts 33 bales, and 1807, first bale, same time; receipts 19 bales. Wc have thought for some time that tbe time had come to take the bear side, but as we expect ed this rainy spell, we feared it might be the cause of putting tbe price up again. Want of space is the reason of the shortness of our article this week. Senator Thurman, of Oblo 9 Will Work Earnestly for Greeley, We have been giving our readers day after day the accessions of the recognized , leaden of the Democracy to Greeley’s support. No Democrat has stood higher than Senator Thurman of Ohio. He has preferred a straight Democratic nomination. We give his views below Cleveland, O., July 15.—TheTIamdtaler to-day publishes a letter from Hon. A. G. Thurman to CoL Spencer of this city, in which Senator Thurman say that though he would prefer that the Democrats had resolved on a straight Democratic fight, he will work earnestly for the election of Greeley and Brown, as it is tbe will of the party, and be lieving that the welfare of the country re quires the defeat of the present administra tion. The nomination of Greeley and Brown at Baltimore, he says, was the work of the people, politicians^ having little or nothing to do with it The Democratic party apes not abandon its principles; but believing as it does, that the course of the Radical leaders threatens to destroy all con stitutional and Democratic government, it h bound by it principles to seek the overthrow of .those leaders, and if it cannot do it in the mode it would prefer, it is but common sense to take the next best mode. Report ou the ■*«■ uutlc Aq liuu. Dr. J. F. Bozeman aud Dr. Win. II. Gum ming, appointed by Governor Smith under d resolution of the Legislature to examine tlie management of the LunaticJAsylum, have made a startling report. Dr. Bozeman reports that the three trustee* of the asylum have endeavored faithfully to do their duty. Dr. Cuminin ,r a says the great mismanagement ofjtlic institution is due to them. They had all power, and therefore could have remedied matters. Dr. Bozeman says the books arc correctly kept, and no unfaithfulness is probable, but a better system of accountability should pre vail, and a higher standard of management and work should be readied in all the depart ments. The working force of the Asylum is 85 including four doctor 1 , and costing $28,- 497. Tlie custom has long been, and a b- cl one it is, to allow rations to all tlie agents md employees, their families, servants and horses. This item alone amounts 'to $11 187 95. AIulcs hired to haul wood at a per dicta received forage. Thus of [ $90,000 year- ly to maintain the Asylum, 45 per cent is consumed in paying and supporting the 85 officers and employees, leaving, after the fut 1» tobacco, liquor and repairs are paid far, less Ilian one-half of the annual ^appropriation for the subsistence and clothing of the near ly 400 patients. This is certainly a bad showing. . The chief resident physician should have rations for his family and servants, on ac count of his great expenses. Dr. R zernou ihiuks, but the others should not There are four doctors and two stewards. He thinks three doctors mid one steward enough. The wife of the resident physician is matron. While he compliments the present matron, he thinks she should not la an asylum physician’s wife. Discipline for bids it Dr. Bozeman thinks tlie organic law of the aslyuin should be remodeled. This asylum should not be enlarged, as it is too big already, but another restitution built iu the up country. During the past year nearly $90,000 have been spent iu the new building, and $15,000 or $20,000 will soon be needed in rqiairs. Dr. Gumming reports with entire unfavor- ablucss. He says ucilhcr the adjacent uor enclosed grounds show improvement, save three acres in front, which arc an ornament. The rest of the grounds arc encumbered and rough aud the sewers discharge their fetid contents so near tlie buildings as to pollute •the air. The old buildings are out of repair, mul the ucw ones, while s<did, are unornatnculcd mul not very suitable. Tlie enlargement of tlie institution he disapproves. There are two recreation courts, and should be numbers of them. Idiots and epileptics should not lie admitted to the institution. Fuel is difficult to get He recommends coal. The garden is ill chosen aud its cultivation superficial. Vegetables are needed. The daily is a failure, the cows averaging luss than three quarts a day. The four doctors arc too many. Dri Gum ming found au nlwence of order in this de partment. No case books are kept. The want of order marks the drug department. No prescription books, no books showing dig position of tlie $2,000 of medicine. In 1871 515 gallons of spirits were used, lie won ders where it went The center building is occupied by four households of three physicians and stewards, numbering over forty. This room should lie given to reading, sewing and school pur poses. Dr. Cuunnmg suggests that the mar ried officers should reside nc»r the Asylum and take tums'on duty. The Asylum is badly ventilated, the air tainted with untrapped sewers, the floors, walls, ceilings and casings dirty and infcslcd with vermin, and the bedding and apparel were soiled.

Ringgold, G a., July 12,1873. Editor* Constitution : Ia a picturesque val ley at the foot of a long range of mountains, and immediate!}* on the line of the Western und* Atlautic tiailroad, one hundred and fifteen miles from Atlanta, and near the Ten nessee Hue, Hus the very pretty village of Ringgold, Georgia, winch has been the scene, during the week just passed, of the cloeing exercises of the Masonic Literary In- stitiPe—now presided orct l»y PfuCuttualL- T. McAIullcii and A J. s R<»l»crt, Associate Principals, aud an appreciation of tlie fact that the columns of Tire Ccn>titution are ever open to the advocacy of the educational and ail other interests of vital import in the building up of onr Commonweath, prompts us to give, in brief detail, an account of the very pleasant occasion. Very appropriately, tlie exercises were opened on Sabbath morning, 7tli instant, with a vciy excellent sermon, at tlie Baptist Church, from the Rev. Tlios. J. Robert, D. D., at prestui a resident of Augusta, Ga. For over an hour & large und intelligent au dience were agreeably entertained by the eloquent Doctor, with thoughtful reflections upon the first verse of the nineteenth Psalm. Alonday, 3 o'clock v m., a large crowd assembled in the hall of the college to witness the juvenile exhibition, consisting of decla mations, recitations of poetry, etc., from tlie pupils of the primary deportment; and to the credit of tlie principals, he it said that the occasion whs one which reflected credit upon their efforts and the application of their pupils. This was followed by a very practi cal address from the Rev. J. O. Lane, a promising young Presbyterian divine, who, in a very entertaining speech to the young gentlemen of tlie Periclcuu Society, added a most happy feature to the pleasures of the occasion. At 8 r. M., the txbibilion was continued, and among the many creditable recitations of this part of the cxercfecs the couqiosiiions read by Miss Ida Anderson, subject, “Morn ing;” Miss. Elia Trimtuier, “The Land We Love” and Miss DcliicSims, “Niglit,** all de serve honorable mention, together with the recitations of |x»etry Iiy Aliases Ida Wood, Gordie Whitman, un 1 Eva Gordon. Among the declamations may lie incutiouctl those or Air. W. AI. Wynn, the “Empire State;” Henry Ilcalcii, “The Fugitive Governor;** and a very unique, original one, from A. M. Hcnslce, entitled “ A Lecture on Woman.*' The whole ending with the presentation of prizes by Rev. II. B. Moore. The Grand Concert Tuesday evening, di rected by Prof. Ben. F. Chirk, was the coup deetnt of tlie occasion and for hours a large assembly was gre ted with rich strains of vocal and instrumental muric from tbe very proficient pupils of the elective lutor r alto gether proving their sturdy effort to excel, and his indomitable will U> impart a correct appreciation of that branch of education. And, in conclusion, we would say that no [lortion of the State can claim greater attrac tions for students th in is presented in the mountains of North Georgia,during tlie sum mer mouths. Richly has nature here be stowed her charms, ami the air healthful, in vjgoralhig—thereby giving au iinfietus to study, without the disagreeable relaxation in cident to long continued mental effort iu re gions less favored—thus presenting undis puted claims to preference.

Editors Constitution: The Examining Board appointed by his Excellency, Governor Smith, have been here for the |nu>1 week, con ducting the final examinations of the senior class. The examinations have l*een most rigid and searching, and it is only by the most assiduous aud diligent application that all will “pass tlie rubicon." The Examining Board affirm the University may well take great unction to themseives for the proficien cy and progress made and attainments ac quired by the class of 1872. That “in the word’s great battlefield, iu the bivouac of -life” they may well expect these young men, tliut are so^u to leave tlie walls of their alma mater, illustrate tlie teachings and precepts inculcated here by their “walk and conduct” into whatever vocation they may enter. YesUxday the Board, AI r. Ncsbit of Macon, presiding, attended the moot court. The case involved was that of murder, the famous one. State vs. Wyly Afitchum. It was ably argued by both aides, but particular credit and praise should lie awarded to tb^t young Neoplytc of Blackstone, Howell Glenn, of your city. The Board were so invidious as to particularize Mr. Glenn, and for close rea soning, careful analysis and unstudied but burning eloquence he enjoys a very enviable reputation. Mr. Howell Glenn is a nephew of the late lamented General Howell Cobb, and in this connection wc are reminded of a remark Washington Irving makes, viz; “Rank and position may not be hereditary nor transferable, but hered itary virtues and talent are giving a potent of nobleness for surpassing the blazonry of Herald's College.” This is moat eminently true, for the boa~d remarked in manner, de livery and other points, there was the Cobb spirit coming out Hated.
