The comptroller general recommends
that the wild land law bo amended so
as to allow him to make up a list • f a'l
unreturned wild lands and im
proved lands, and upon these
o issue fi. fas. The Usih
prepared by the receivers, are full of
errors. Tne proposed change would
place all the responsibility on the
comptroller-general. Ha also asks for
power to receive or reject insolvent
iste, and to send for the evidence ou
which any such list was allowed.
As the legislature will hereafter meet
on the first Weduesday in November,
the comptroller-general suggests that

2UR SCIENCE OF HANGING.
D'lrine the week before last there
were twelve men hanged in the United
{■rates.
From this fact it will be eeen that
hanging is rapidly er ming to be one of
the sciences—and it will be leadily
granted that in the interest of human
ity it shonld be one of the exact sci
ences. We mesn by this that when a
gentleman is hung, he should be well
hung; that there should be no bung
ling or brutality about it. Justice
clearly r< qu res that a murderer ehonld
be put out of the w»y, and it is gener
ally acknowledged that he should be
killed—but the utmost strain of jus
tice does not require that they should
te wantonly tortured.
These remarks are induced by the
fact that none of our sheriffs seem to
understand their business when it
comes to the scaffold. In nine cases
out of ten the condemned man is
strangled to deatn, when the law and
humanity clearly require that he
bhouid be dispatched with as little suf-
ienng as is consistent with his fate.
Toe rope should be so adjusted and
the drop so arranged that the fall will
dislocate the victim’s neck. This can
ta done very easily if the sheriff only
understands how to do it. That he
should learn this knack r f the rope
just as faithfully as he learns the other
duties of his cifice, is plain. It is con
trary to humanity that a man should
be left swinging in convulsions for the
spuce of ten or fifteen minutes.
It is true that there are eome op-
ti mists who declare that the sensation
of strangling is most delightful. They
even quote the experience of those
who have been hung for a few mo
ments and then cut down. These per
sons testify that immediately after the
ope pressed their necc so that they
were suffocated, they felt the most ex
quisite thrills, and that scenes of sur-
; tubing beauty swept before their eyes
Oue gentleman even went so far as to
declare that he experienced a genuine
feeling of disappointment when the
rope was loosed and he was brought
hick from his delicious trance to this
o mmon place world. We do not be
lieve the troth of these statements.
We should like to opp<se their felici-
views with the experience of
b southern gentlemen who were
hung to saplings by Sherman's “bum-
nitre,” when they were lockirgfor the
* >ld that h :d been hidden from their
apacious fingers. We have heard s< me
of thet-e gentltinen who submitted to
what might be fairly called a square
hanging before they would give up
heir hoarded wealth, say that the
ecstacy they experienced when hang
r.g between earth and air, abnormally
Depended, wasanccetacy ot pain rath-
sr than of pk-aeure. Their testimony
s at least convincing enough to demon
strate the fact that humanity requires
•mr Bln riffs to complete the operation
>f death by the rope ts expeditiously
ind as nearly as can be safely done.
To do this they must learn to dislocate
the neck, and do away with the herri-
b.e alternative of strarg'icg their pa-
ieut to death.

Letter to Providence Journal.
Since mv return from Europe a large
r umber *-f persons who contemplate a
vibit to the Fans exposition during the
present year have desired me to give
hem some idea of ihe probable cost of
ibe journey. To each one a uniform
reply has been given, aud the first
words were, ‘‘You can make it cos'
just what, in reason, you like.” And
t is so. A loan can spead a $1,000 in a
month’s travel, and another can suit
limself just as well for one fifth of the
money. My owu experience, based ot
ten day’s trip to Paris during the ox
position of 1867, is that you can live re
markably cheap iu that delightful city.
Daring mr visit in January last to the
L*apital of France I was careful to in
quire as to the probability of an
rease in hotel rates, The anrwer was
here will be noue. The Grand hotel
Bristol ia in a magnificent house iu
every respect, and for such
place ihe charges are remarkably
reasonable. At that place
handsomely furnished, well lighted
room cost mo six francs, $1 20 per day,
and a dinner, including vin otdinaire,
i similar ain junt. Bur, as in L indon,
he better plau is to t ake your meals
ur, as the French people generally do
For ten francs ($2) per day a man can
1 ve v ell. But to give a clearer idea ot
the total cost'd suen a journey, it may
be as we.l to start out with the theory
that we propose to be absent two
months or sixty days. Eighteen days
>f this will be upon tlie o*:eau and for
•he rcund trip the co^t need not bs
more than $120. Oo arrival at Liver
pool, the docks aud other placts of in*
eres*. have to be seen, which will occu
py two days, the cost of living per day
being ten shillings, with four shilling*
added for omuibus and cab fares. $7 ;
from Liverpool to Manchester, where
two more days are spent at the same
rate ; then directly to London, the tare
oeing $5, occupying a portion of ou*
day. In Loudon, there is a mul
titude of sights of interest to be
looked up. There a tue crys a.
palace, British museum, Alexandra
rk, zoological gardens, national gal
ry. house of parlUmeut, the tower ot
Linden, e c. Hare lo do the thing up
any kind of way, a s -jouru of at
least ten days shou d bo in.ole. Tuis
nvolves au expeuse of $30 for living
'it can be d me for less, and well (lone,
no,) aud au additional $7 50 for omul-
bus hire. Then G ames i tie trip to Paris
Tne return ticket from L mdou to Paris
will be, in Americau money, $18 75
and which is available lor oue mouth
Tue journey to Paris usually occupies
from leu to eleven hours, so thai out
fall day may be allowed in g -it g aud
:oming Then a slay of fif ecu day
diouki tie nu.de iu Paris, and the vis
itor, if he be prudent, tan do aaunr.»
far as Kalging hmi living upon
i er day, < r $41 25; aud addm.
ten days lo me exultation, on*
franc each time, brings $43 25, wi L
$10added f«»r c nvevanc*, o<u.g~ Pan
cost $53 25 During ana nine, i
iispostd, a trip can be made o
Geneva Like at a cost of $15. Thin
ck to Lmdon, wi.h eleven
lays to spare. A trip to the Isle ol
ight, a run to Scotland, a-d iheuc
through lie'and, joining the
steamer at leenstowu, can lie easily
done at an average coat of $7 a day—*,
tol d ot $77—and then we find our
board the ateamer again,
ithout any further to pay *han the
stewards. Tbi t briug a total cf $340
rod allowing the extravagant sum of
StiO for wauers, eic , th* grand reauti
$400 fer a sixey days’ j -urney. This
estimate is put at top figures, so that
ere sha 1 be nothing ridiculous in it-
appearance: but' our readers in <-y re t
perftedy satitfL d that a trip to Paris,
properly managed, and an absence from
home of sixty days need not cost any
single individual more than $340.

Atlanta, March 31, 1878 —The At
lanta Tribune is dead. The event is
mportant enough for me to give yon a
little preachment about it I have deep
sympathy for Williams and hiBSDrighf-
ly colleagues. But La doom wra
inevitable. Wilhams was economi
cal, prudent, enterprising as far as
his funds would allow, steerin;
clear cf debt, promising little an<
performing more, avoiding envious
ivalry, aud making a speci
alty of lively local matter. But the
very essence of j mrnalism, the life
blood of a newspaper, the aim, food
and mascle of a journal, tbe indispen
sable commodity of — NEWS- freth,
prompt, *rstantaneoas news, he did
not give. He was unable to buy tele
graphic dispatches. A ship without
water, a flute without wind, a fire with
out fuel were never more
things than a daily paper in a live
town, like Atlanta, without abundant
daily telegraphic matter. TbisgaveTHK
Constituti }S, than which, by the WAV t
there is no better newspaper in the
south, an immeasurable advantage.
The bulk of business men don’t read
much elee besides the telegrams ; they
have not the time in busy days. Noth
ing could substitute this great cardinal
want.
There are other questions of material
value, such as the practical one that
advertisers seek the medium with
known circulation, etc., etc. But the
prime causs of death mentioned, viz
iack of news by the daily wjre, explain
the decease a dozen times over.

ANOTHER KINK.
Now one more reflection of a practi
cal character and I shall have done
wilh th : s theme for the present There
will always be more or less prattle
about wanting another paper in a c ty
wficre there ib but me. Men get die
gruntled unreasonably acd want an
organ, and can sometimes get one
where there are several journals.
Bodies of men want a journalistic
champion on special occasions for some
aggressive movement on a public ques
tion An established j jurnal is a con
servative c<eature, siow to take np
novelties and sluggish on innovations
Now a single paper in a place is a
very potential concern, enjoying a most
seductive monopoly cf power. Let
snch a jinrn&l be liberal—let it grant
a wide respectful latitude of U6e of ite
columns—let it adopt reasonable prices
of advertising—let it abstain from arbi
trary f artitanship—let it be joat, im
partial and tolerant, and yet bold, in
dependent and outspoken, tnd it will
give so little substantial ground for the
public to desire another medinm
public expie6sion that it need fear
competition. In tbe four largest cities
of Georgia newspaperdom has settled
into a single groove m a highly satis
factory manner. I doubt if any state
in the union can show four journals
abler, newsier, brighter and more vir
tuous than the Savannah News, At
lanta Constitution, Augusta Chronicle
and Coastitationatist and the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger—all models
of modern, progressive and chivalric
journalism.

Hr. et«pti<n** Aew Metric Hill.
New York Herald.
Mr. Alexander H. S ephens appears
to think that all the metric system
needs to commend it to the affecl ioi B
of his countrymen is to mix a litu
idiom in its nomenclature. With the
foresight of a true statesman h-discerns
that the American people will never
come to call a metre a metre, bu
thinks that they may be induced u
call it a yard, though in fact it is i ot
a yard. A “seed, a “corn” and a
“bipound or -hip” are new units of
weight, and a “nair” and a ‘‘nail” a
measure. If they coincide with the
units of the metric system, and people
cm be induced to say *’bip” and “naii”
who could not be induced to eay grain
and metre, all will be well. The trou
bio witn his tables It that they do not
go far enough. The idea is to get ex
pressions winch the rnacses can readily
understand, and there are many such
‘iXpressioas which Mr Stephens has
not utilized. In weight, for instance,
nobody knows what a bi pound is, and
any man, wiee in his own conceit
thinks it to be two pounds, M
Stephens wid undeceive him II -
simple it would Lave been to say, for
instunce:
10 hank* make 1 gob.
10 gob* tn*ke 1 chunx (or dekageb).
10 ebank* maze 1 heap.
There is not one of Mr. S’ephcn’s con
stituents who could not mns-er their
nomenclature. In lor g measure, again,
