We omitted a w>int io which thin consideration deep ly iffdCti the public. Governor Jen kins, in the late convention, pointed out the directness and thoroughneM with which the public weal ia affected by oor couitsA He preened upon oor attention, with fearful logic, the abso lute neoeasity of keeping at least the bench of our highest court filled with the brightest talent, matoreet wiedom and purest virtue. It ia feared by some that oor reduction of salaries would militate against those high considera tions, but the reply was that the dis tinguished honor would attract preper men to that bench and keep them tbera. We hope it ever will. Out nhould we place before them another reason to shun that office? Rv.nem her that the longest term of that court in Milledgeville in summer was not over a month and that not later than June. The court for August was in this county. Even when the court was localed at Milledgeville only it never sat there later than June in sum mer. Now the court begins in January and ends early in June and begins again in July and ends in November; or if it adjourns till August it ends in December. Think of being in Milledge ville so long, seeing nothing, hearing nothing which could relieve the over taxed brain; think of the danger to one unacclimated of remaining there in July, August and September, and say if the prospect may not keep from that bench men whose services the state needs. Think of the contras* be tween the decisions to be there made by a court fatigued with the unpleas antness of their |Kwition, after argu ment by lawyers iinwftliugly there and anxious to get away, or without argu ment because the lawyers will refuse to ;•«» there, and decisions made here, with active and cheerful minds, after argument by lawyers delighted to come and ready to aid iu the search for truth. (We claim not too much for our climate in thin. Witness the con vention of two hundred memlten*, ait ting here in July and August, crowded with visitors and keeping on with its work ; sitting in session or in commit tees from nine o*clnck in the morning till night with little intermission) Verily there is much in this lor serious thought. An indifferent or inferior conrt of last resort works incalculable injury to the com monwealth. It works so slowly as to be almofct Imperceptible, but it works surely, inevitably. It turns what should be a bleesing into a curse.

Here is an admission that we have presented (acta, undeniable facta, a column of facta, straight, symmetrical, solid. The proposed way to dispose of this column is to assert that ita pedes tal is extravagance, namely, "bureaux and the greatly increased business of the state” and tha* these ace a "burden the people are trying to throw off. 1 What are these bureaux ? The geo logical and agricultural. We do not mention the State Board of health, be canae no appropriations are now made for it. Are they too an heritage left Dy the wasteful Bullock regime? We will see. The nature of man and his surroundings always made agricul ture a prime necessity. The great problem of the past centuries has been how direct it so as to produce the greatest good for the greatest number. It is not a degraded avocation needing only the mufcle of the animal but one calling for the strength and cultivation of mind to show ita proper results. Aud the world has lorg understood this. School* especially designed to teach the application of science to agricul ture were founded in Russia, Switzer- and and Austria in 1799. The royal agriculture* school of Hungary at Alten burg had nine professor*. The royal agricultural society of Eugland was es- tablisued in 1839 Later came the Highland agricultural society of Scot- lsnd and the royal -ociety of Ireland France has her minister of agriculture and sup aorta agricultural schools. Thaer, Schweiz, Roller, Stockbardt and Liebig tsught Germtny agricultural chemistry and educated her up to hav ing, in 1873, one hundred and forty school* of agriculture and horticulture In 1863 Russia estab ished Petrobkoi agricultural college near Warsaw with ita eighteen professors. Being a new people the U nited States did not begin to thoroughly understand |hia grand subject till about 1850. A i»art cular survey of the progress of agriculture elsewhere would con. now too much of our apace and of the leader’* patience. We review it Gecrgi* only. In 1846ibe agricultural society met at Stone M>unuua,th» Georgia railroad being juat then finished; a fair was held there in 1847, 1845 aad 1849; at Atlanta in 1850,and in 1851 at Mac jo. In 1854 the southern central agricultural eoc:ety was ch rtered. In 1856 Gov. Johnson th ought prop* to pul into his message the following important recommendation on this sub “The promotion of agriculture and the development of our mineral re sources should engage the earnest at- U ntion of the legislature. Ia the older region of the state much of the land had been exhausted by tillage, acd p’. re are turni-g their attention to the reclamation ct swamps by ditching and embankmei.t-’* Here he mad< certain recommendations as to la* allowing the overflow of swamp lamb and proceeded as follows: “As a farther mean* of encouraging agriculture and th-* development of the mineral wealth of the state, I recommend that pro vision be miule by the legislature for the appointment, with a suitable sal ary, of state geologist, mineralogist and agricultural chemist. His office should be located at the capital and his general duty should be to make a geological survey of the state, direct the mode of testing for ores, analyse toils and point out the various kinds of manures for their fertilization. To make the organ isation of such a department efficient and useful, it would require the state to be divided into geological districts and the employment of assistants. Ita derails, however, will readily sug gest themse.ves to the legislature* and the policy once adopted in a oc*d earn eat, time and experience will soon per fect it. A qjmilar appointment in other state* has been attended with the most beneficial results. It is more easy to advance than to select illustra tions of its advantages. In Georgia but little attention has been devoted to agricultural education; and, without disparagement to our planters, it must be confessed that their success is main ly the result of fertility of soil and unconquerable energy and industry. They owe but little to the application of scientific principles to the multi plied details of the plantation. But as the lands become exhausted by such a system of cultivation, they will refuse their wonted yield, until scieme shall come to their rescue by showing the means of their resuscitation. The office under consideration will, ■ a considerable extent, remedy this wide spread evil. By his analysis of specimens of soils furnished to him, he will explain to the owners the charac ter, components and quantity of the manures required to fertilize them. By delivering public lectures as often and at as many points sa he may be able, he will instruct the inhabitants of whole agricultural districts as to the qualities of their lands and the fer tilizers best calculated to confer upon them the highest capacity for produc tion. This will soon awaken the pro per spirit among the people, and lead as an ultimate result to a just appre ciation of the importance of agricultu ral education. The aggregate of ad vantage could be ascertained only by knowing fully the loss to the country from the absence of and the amount gained by the application, of science to the operations of the plantation. And boa shall we estimate the thrift and activity which such an appoint ment will impart to the mining interest uf the state? Her mountains and hills are rich in unbedded mines of ore. As yet we have made hut little pn great* in their discovery. Vast sums are expended in blind experiments to as certain their loeatien, resulting often in the ho|>eleMS ruin of the zealous seeker after the hidden wealth. The large amount saved in the work of testing ores is the least of ad vanta ges of the appointment under consid eration. The actual wealth which would be developed by the scientific direction of these operations is abso lutely incalculable, whilst it would, at the same time, open new channels for capital and industry, and furnish em ployment for thousands of laborers.”— Journal of house 1855 6. page 30-31. A bill to carry out his recommenda tion j».test'd me house by forty eight to thirty-nine (house journal 1855 6 p«ge 660) but w s lost, by what vote we know not as we have not the sen ate journal. In 1857 anotber-eflort wa made and faiUd, by what majority we could not ascertain. In 1858 Governor Brown in bis message tired the follow- language: While the state has made large ap proprintioiis from time to time for cleaning out rivers, constructing rail roads, and for the encouragement of commerce and other pui8uiis,it is much be regretted that so little has been done to encourage her great sgricnltu interests—upon which almost every other class is dependent for assistance and snpp rt. No class is more honorable than our farmers, who are honest and patriotic They bear without murmur their full share of the burdens of the govern ment. Why, then, should they he longer denie«l their share in its benefit shall cordially co-operate with the general assembly in any and all legis latiun which will promote this great and vital interest. In tnis connection we rhonld not forget the necessity hlch exists for th* d« velopment of om great mineral resources. 1 trust he legislature will authorize the Appointment of a suitable geologist an c lemist to make a geological survey c the state and a chemical analysis of tut soil iu different section*, so as todevel the mineral wealth trie st ite, and to determine the produc tions to which esch kind of soil is best e-uited.” Senate Journal, 1858, p. 34 In his message of 1859, wheu he was recommending the building of a house for a library, for want of room the old Capitol, he repeated these recommendations, saying that thought a geological survey M would ring to light immense wealth which buried in the bosom of our state Senate journal, 1859, p. 27. He again urged it, acd again urged building home in which to keep the library, his message of 1850. Senate journal, 1560, t»p. 20 23. The state was not yet ready for the full work, but ou the 20 of December, 1850, changed the agri cultural society into the “Georgia stat agricultural society,” and appropriated to it $2500 annual 1 ?- The war suspended the operations of the society till 1868 It then reorganized and held its meet ings alternately at Macon and Atlanta, being aided by those cities. It con tinued to press this subject upon the attention of the general assmbly. Finallv, in January, 1S74, Gov. Smith, in his message, urged “the establish ment of a department of agriculture for the state,” saying “men now distrust analysis" (of manures, soils, miner* s, eti^”) "and experiments given to the world on unofficial endorsement Could the information in every day operations of the field and shop be sent forth from such a department • • • it wonld carry wi*.h it a weight and sanction rendering it atveptable to the public. Here could be gathered from t-very source the most advanced ideas and methods affecting the great inter ests committed to this department. 1 He had the pleasure of signing the bill authorising the depaitment in Feb ruary, 1874. It would be useless to state more of the history of the geological bureau, as the two moved together, were authorized by the same session of the general assembly and orgar ited m September, 1874, Such is the history of the establish ment of the “bureaux.” Recommended by Got. Johnson the then fast friend of Milledgeville, pressed by the agricultu ral society which was fn great measure supported by Macon, recommended again and again by Gov. Brown, not touched by Gov. Bullock or Gov. Con* ley, but again taken np by Got. Smith. Who ever accused Johnson or Brown or Smith of extravagance in public affairs. The geological bureau will soon finish ite task—perhaps by the next meeting of the general assembly. The agricul tural bureau was established after much thought by our own people, professedly as a good financial measure, and it ia claimed that by recent legislation it is PAying its expenses and a surplus to the treasury, bes.des protecting and elevating the agriculture of the county. It seems to us that this thing has a pretty strong hold upon the pub lic mind. The free tuition in “pgricui* ture and mechanic arts” offered by the university at Athens, will but strong then that hold, if farmers will under stand the dignity of their calling and send their sons to learn. It seems to ns that when our boys shall have been educated in agriculture and mechanics as well as in the classics, we shall be a greater and a better state. But if it be otherwise, if the bureaux should be abolished, let it be done in a manly way; do not say, "Let’s go to Milledgeville. and thus we will have abolished them, because we have no sufficient room there for even the old- time appliance* of the state.” Verily this is a new kind of logic. When we say the old capitol is too small, and prove it by the records, Milledgeville replies: "Yes, bat abol ish the greatly enlarged business of the state, barn yoar accumulation of records and of books; if necessary, destroy your extra seven hundred aud fifty thousand population, lop off all the appliances of a great state, that you may be small enough to live comforta bly "in the halls of our fathers.” Well, the people can decide for themselves. PUNCH, BBO lUKES, PUNCH /" As is well known to the public the slate of Virginia has been for some time in an exceedingly short way, financial ly speaking. Her tremendous debt, pressed upon her with such grievous force, that a large and respectable party, arguing ex necessitati ret, and lead by General Mahone, has openly advocate i repudiation; or what amounts to the same thing, "readjustment.” A legislative genius, however, flanked repudiation by a shrewd device, and proposes to pay the debt without levy a cent of additional taxes. His plan was to charge two and a half cents every drink of liquor sold, and a half cent on every glass of Deer. The next question, after determining to tax each drink of liquor sold, was to pro vide some method by which the num- of drinks dispensed could be as certained. To do this, a machine very much like the street car bell punch was invented and affixed to the counter of bar-rooms. The bar-tender obliged to turn a little crank on the register, at which a bell rings, and the hand scores one on the dial plate. If customer should fail to hear the bell ring as ha takes his drink, he knows at once that the bar-tender is attempting swindle the state. The authorities expect to realize fully $800,000 per an num on the special tax on drinks. The reasoning by which this result is resco- is appended herewith, being taken from the Richmond Enquirer: Lust year the whole amount p^ld bj all tbe liquor merchant® of the state Into the tnM®u>y $!S7,COO.

"It is a • long history,” said Twead. “Condense It," said Cole, and Tweed leaning a little further back, and pushing his feet to the front for com fort, went on to tell how Mayor Hall, Peter £, Sweeny, Cornel iu® Corson, Alexander FTrsr, Mr. Hltcbman aud most of the prominent numb -re ot Tammany had a finger iu the great adding moderately that he him self “had a little to do with 1L" When Mr. Cole asked. “Do you know personally of any member of the senate having been paid for vote In that regard ?” Mr. Tweed replied.

The matter was exciting even to the short-hand writers, who. slue® the asrmona Moody, have found no quicker speaker to contend with.
