~2r THE ATLANT A WEEK L Y SUN. •THE Wednesday DAILY SUN- Htaamw October 11. Ilemeentlc Unity on the Right Line. The signs of the times are becoming .more auspicious. -almost daily, for the at tainment of tbe great object for which we have been iuii^ onr utmost exertions for the last six month*. As signal evidence of this, we refer to (the fact that the late State Convention of the Democratic Par ty of New York, -eaCLwed all mention of the “New Departure,’* and planted them selves in bold antagonism to the usurpa tions of the Ruling I^uasty at Washing ton. To those whoehargons with being “im practicable, ” “redhat" and “revolutionary, ” in onr doctrines, aod sdlegethatwe are ad vocating principles which tend, not .only to disturb the harmony of tbe Democratic Parly, bat to ;fix upon ns : proofs of “lunacy” and “madness?' we re ply that Mr. .Jefferson was denounced as a .revolutionary agitator by the J&perialists of bis day. He, and tbe Democracy under him, however, rescued and saved the free Institutions of the country for more than half a ceotnty. By the same -sort of revolutionary principles, and by the-oame sort of Revolution, the De mocracy may again rescue and save the Xabertjcs of the country, in the contest •of 1872. JJnity in sentiment, on the rights line, and amity in action, for the accom plishment.©/ the same great object, is all that is necessary to secure the grand achievement. The signs of the times, we say, are strongly indicating that this unity will be attained before the open ing of the campaign. And we have the following from an other quarter: ; °* * Um , It is a leading Editorial, taken fiom the Manchester (N. B.) Public Forum, of 3d September, 1871. We give this artil cle to our readers, in fall and commend it especially to those who have charged us with “warring” against the “Northern Democracy.” Here is a true utterance of Northern Democratic Sentiment. It is, as we believe, the realsentiment which is entertained by the honest masses of the Democracy everywhere; South as well as North: The True Issue. . "Nawepapor editors, stump speakers and profes- “jjonal politicians of every name and sort, may do "tuejf pest or theirworst to mislead and bewilder the ‘‘public mind, they raise a largo amount of dust and smoke, blotv their noisy trumpets in any way ‘‘and upon anything, they sc» flt. Hy* j- Trn ~- ^x^airectly and unequivocally to' Tim main pnint, “great overshadowing iasue of the present time is “whether our Federal Government is to be restored “and maintained aa its founders established it, based “upon a written Constitution, with the powers of the “Legislative, Executive and Judicial Departments “limited and defined therein, reserving to the States “and the people thereof, all rights and powers not ‘‘voluntarily delegsted to ths General Government: “or, in other words, whether the United Statos shall ‘■be and remain, as the name itself implies, a Union “of Sovereign States under the Constitution, or be “tranaformod into a centralized despotism with hcad- “quarters in Washington, and we the people be gov erned by a usurping caucus and the President _at “W»-ukj. ‘ctitnir tne nut nuiorcemeut Bill of Coa- "gress, called the ‘appropriate legislation’ author- “lzod by that stupendous frand and forgery known “as tho 14th Amendment to .the Constitution, the “Executive may, in his discretion, overturn the “government of any State, arrest its Governor, im- “prison or disperso its Legislature, silence its “Courts, suspend the writ of habeas corpus, declare “martial law and trample the people down under “the heel of his armed soldiery. Such is the law “enacted by an utterly depraved and infamous Con gress, sanctioned by its subservient tool the Presi- “dent, and which a cowardly Court dare not decree “null and void. No man in this country to-day en- “joys any right whatever as a right. “Everything we do, have, or enjoy, is by suffer- “ancc of a reckless, unprincipled, audacious, itn- “plaeable gang of usurpers and tyrants. It is under “precisely this condition of things that we write ‘ and print this article to-day. We dare to do it and “defy the consequences. “The question is, shall this monstrous infamy “continue? The groat paramount issue is, whether “the people of this country will restore and main- “tain tho Democratic Itepublican form of Govern- “ment of onr fathers, or give way supinely and final- “ly to centralization and military despotism. “Tho great duty of tho Democratic party and of “all who love liberty, is to unite in an honest, bold “and resoluto effort to stop this Radical revolution. “It can only be done by putting this Administra- “tion and the party at its back, out of power. This “is the work before us, end until it shall be accom plished, all other issues are as bubbles in the ‘‘turbulent stream, comparatively worthless and in significant.’' When the party leaders shall become united on this common sentiment of the mass os, and shall join ip the issue thns presented, they may look for one of the most glorious civic victories ever won .in this or any country. The American Peo ples are not yet ripe for Centralism or Despotism: but they can never be aroused to a grand rally for the preserva tion of their Liberties, under the lead of men, who call upon them to connive at, or sanction, the foulest frauds and gross est usurpations by which those Liberties liavo been, or can be, assailed. We have other evidences on this sub ject, to which we may allude at an early day. A. H. S. ; ►-•-< BtJLLOCK. The Governor's intention to visit' Cali fornia was not known thqpublir, and it is oErtainbis Secretaries, Ac nwteh o€ the time he was gone, did not know whore ho was, where he intended going, nor wkeu he would return.

Gov ernor, nor authorized to fill the Govern or's oflBee.in his absence. The that appears to have been ad vanced, t-W. the Treasurer has no discre tion, bat *no»t pay all warrants approved by the Controller General, is not cor rect. The law requires the Governor to draw his warrant on the Treasury, which must be approved by the .Comptroller General; Urtwdien a warrant is presented to the Treasurer; for payment, which he knows the Governor *did| not draw; and that he was beyond the limits of the State contrary to law, ihe is not bound by the Comptroller’s approval. The Treasurer Urns sought to save the credit of the State, by giving to the pub lic the law on whiehisLe bonds were issued, in order that none might be imposed upon. The currency bonds which the Governor has been tlying to sell had the Treasurer’s name lithographed upon them, without consulting that officer, while the law requires him to sign them; and unless he does thus sign them with his own hand, the law requires them not to be paid unless the bond itself is brought to the Treasurer’s office, and the coupon is by him detached. None'of the gold bonds have the Treasurer’s genuine sig nature, as required by law. This fact Dr. Aagier has made known far and wide, which it was his duty to do. If he had not, no doubt an immense quantity pf those bonds would have been sold, which, with the fasts before them, capitalists have beep unwilling to take. He has not tried to injure the State’s credit, but to save it from bankruptcy. “For the purpose cf buying them ala large discounlTIf the Governor actu ally made this charge, it is a strange one. He and his Mends have all the opportu nities to play this game, while the Treas urer lias no 'more than any other indi vidual.

He has spent largely more than his salary as Treasurer for this patriotic purpose, and with the assistance of other patriotic men, their schemes for the degradation and rain of our people have been thwarted, in a great- measure. - — This charge of wanting to buy the bonds at a large discount, if really made by tbe Governor against Dr. Angier, comes with an ill grace from his Excel lency. -ioq«79i4d «riT It is believed that he has not succeed ed in selling many of the bonds. For this, if it be so, let the Treasurer and others who have labored with the same object in view, be tba&ked. P.

In the extensive draper es tablishment of Lee in Liverpool, frequen ted and patronised by the nobility and wealthy of the land, the long lines of counters were attended by scores of beautiful young girls tastefully dressed, «Ril who were waiting upon the crowds of ladies and gentlemen, pnrcliasing employments afford a wide field forilaljor to poor and dependent girls, who, otherwise might be burdens at boeie and drones in society.

On the rear of the body the driver has a seat bnilt, and drives from that perch—his reins passing over the leather lop. His seat is elevated so he can see over the top, and direct and manage his horse. The body of the hansom is enclosed with wooden doors that fold in front like a .double-leaf door, and which you can open or close at pleas ure. The seat is comfortable, and you are protected entirely from the weather, The wooden doors reaching to your body protects the legs and feet, while the pro jecting roof shelters the head and shoul ders. The driver, sitting behind yon, with his body as high as your bead, is signalled readily through a small hole in the top of your cab. There are thousands? of these hansoms threading and rolling along the streets of London, day and night. You can hire them to take you a mile for a shil ling—or by the hour, as you choose. Police officers are seen on every street, and on nearly every corner, dressed in a blue uniform, very much like that of the Federai army. I would here remark also that all the railroad officials and em ployees are dressed in uniform, with a badge or number to designate them. The first object of interest that struck my eye when I began my walk from the Queen’s Hotel, was the equestrian statues of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, ejected on the public square near St. George’s Hall. They occupy positions in front of the Hall, on either side of the entrance, and are placed on platforms of granite. The casts of the horses are perfect, and that of the figures of the Queen and Prince were admirably seated, The statues are much larger than life, yet the proportions are fine, the positions natural and graceful, and the drapery, of the Queen especially, flowing and life like. t r. -. , • ■ A.

The Docks at Liverpool—How English Women are Employed — Something Hansom—A Work of Art. We find the following telegraphic des patch in several of our exchanges: New Yoke, October 6.—Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, who arrived in tbia city yesterday, was interviewed to-day by a reporter, in reference to the notice re cently issued by the State Treasurer of Georgia, to the effect that in consequence of the absence of tbe Governor, and no one in tbe State Department knowing where he was, no warrants on the State Treasury would be paid, except those on the civil establishment and special appropriations, the law in these cases specifying the amount. The Governor states that the notice of the Treas urer is a singular combination of falsehoods and absurdity. The Governor leit Georgia in the latter part of June upon his usual summer vacation with his iamily, His intention to visit California was well known to his personal friends, to his secretaries, and to Mr. Conley, President of the Senate, who is ex-officio Lieutenant Governor. The Governor Will start for Georgia within a few days. The exception made in the Treasurer’s notice in cludes all the warrants that are drawn, and hence the absurdity of tbe notice. All executive warrants must be first submitted to tbe Comptroller General for approval, and when so approved the Treasurer has no discretion, and is required by law to pay them. The Governor states that the notice of the Treasurer is only part of a vigorously pushed scheme to injure the credit of the State and depreciate the market value of Georgia bonds, for the purpose of buying them in at a large discount. The foregoing presents a singular combination of the ridiculous and the nntrue, and there surely must be some mistake about it. London, 16 Sept., 1871. "We landed at Liverpool the tenth day from New York, having had a smooth and delightful passage. Tho first object of interest that strikes the stranger are the magnificent docks that line the shore for miles. They are huge stone basins, bnilt of granite brought from Scotland, into which ships float, through, large gates, and where they lie perfectly at rest, though the severest storm may rage.— The harbor, naturally, was unsafe, being greatly exposed to storms; and to remedy this evil these docks have been built, and when a ship arrives to unload, by passing into these docks great facilities are offer ed for discharging them. They are a wonderful monument of the wealth, per severance and commerce of the city. Having landed and nndeigone the in spection of Custom House officials, (and I will do them the credit of saying they were very kind and gentlemanly in their examination of our baggage), we took a hansome and drove to the Queen’s Hotel. Here, as in every other hotel in Eng land, I found ladies at the bar, keeping the register of arrivals and assigning rooms to guests, receiving’ payment of bills, Ac,. So in the Telegraph, office, and in all the stores and shops, young and well dressed ladies, form a large por tion of tho attendance. I was greatly MAYOR’S COURT- WEDNESDAY. “The autumn winds begin to sigh, The crimson leaves turn pale, As Jonsing and bis crowd went by Tied on to bis ccat tail. They songht the court-house far away, Where they remained for hours, Watching the hands the police play, While the Mayor holds both bowers.”, TEis morning tne crowTTat the levee wasn’t as numerous as it was select.— Some splendid blood was on exhibition, among whom. SAVANNA GARTRELL was found to be which. This was a case of the deadest drunk the Court had ever had the honor to hold an inquest over. ’Van had been picked up on tbe streets the day beforo in the most deplorable state of inebriety imaginable, and it was no use in saying she wasn’t guilty, for when she woke up during the night and asked her “ma” for some water, the guard told her he wasn’t her ma, and then the truth flashed upon her like the explosion of a kerosene lamp. As she had never been drunk before, the Court played his small bower and took her §5. “As the day was slowly melting, . Melting into shades of night; As the sun was genUy sinking In its golden waves of light; As the sighing breezes murmured Thrilling music soft and low; As the warblers fluttered downward, Resting on each leafy bough, He was stealthily gliding onward, Police following in the rain, When they picked him np and entered Him for the early morning train.’’ This was the testimony given in the case of 0. H. Holliday, who had acci dentally taken one drink too many. The Court told him if he could convince him (the Court) that he got drunk acci dentally, ho would not only not fine him, but beg his pardon to boot for having him up; but, after trying several times, he failed, and had to fork over five dol lars, with costs, before he got off. JESSE TIMON was no blood kin to “ Timon of Athens,” qut a straight out simple Jesse. He was up for whipping his daughter, who made such a terrible noise that it alarmed the whole neighborhood. Two of his daugh ters testified against him, and it was proven that he was an habitual drunk ard. The Court delivered a long lecture, and Jesse pays ten dollars and costs for his behavior on the occasion. MISS JOSEPINE SIMMONS was floating through the realms of space attired in red poplin and a nobby hat, surmounted by a huge feather and other artificials. She was one of the girls of the period. “For she’d light blue eyes and golden hair, Tiny little feet and a waist so rare A face and a form that would compare, With that of Cle—o—pa—try.” The Court compared her to nice little girls wh didn’t get drunk and roam around on the streets, in such tender and pathic tunes that it made Josephine sob and cry and promise never to do so any more. Her appeal was overpowering, and upon her solemn pledge never to be guilty of the like>gain, she got off with costs. Several cases were continued for want of absent witnesses till-this morning. SQ^-They bave a “Feeble-Minded In stitute” at Frankfort, Kentucky. It is to be hoped that it is not set up as an opposition to the Courier-Journal office. Washington, October 3, 1871- I append to this letter an article, in full, from the Chronicle, of this morning, in reply to certain portions of my pub lished letter of the 28th ult., thereby giv ing an example of fairness which that mendacious journal would do well to im itate. To the gratemen of my charge, namely, that the Chronicle newspaper was, and is, “suslainetV’ by party corruption, a special technical plea is interposed. I said that at the time Mr. Morris bought out the Chron icle, “it was one of the won ders of the world where the purchase money came from.” To this, it is rejoined, that “Morris bought for cash," and it is feebly intimated that he got the “cash” in a way that Cato seems disinclined to earn bis pittance.” Truly enough, per haps, but it is farther on said that his process was “by diligent, truthful work!" Now, it is precisely the question what sari of “diligent” and “truthful work” Mr. Morris did, and who paid him for it. It is known of all men who know any thing of the inner doings of Radical Senators last winter, that the Chronicle passed into the hands” of Mr. Morris, then a mere clerk of that body, in the interest of the enemiePbf Gen. Grant— that Forney was himself shaky until bought over by the President with the Philadelphia colleetorsbip, and that the Chronicle was from thence utterly re pudiated by the Administration. Now, it is scarcely necessary to affirm that the publication of a daily paper like the Chronicle at this point, is a very ex pensive luxury. I am told that the ex pense is over a thousand dollars weekly! I repeat, then, “Where did, or doqs, the money come from ?” If any one -will take the trouble to look oyer the advertising columns of that sheet for the past six months; he must per force open his eyes wide—and reiterate the interrogatory! It was under these circumstances that “Governor” Holden, after having run away from North Carolina, dropped down here, and immediately commenced “ ne gotiations” for the purchase of the icle newspaper, as was Announced by a doz en different correspondents, at this point, and not denied by any one. * It will be ob served that, in the carefully prepared dis claimer of Mr. Morris, he specially avoids referring to any “visits” paid by either himself, or the “Governor,” to.New York about this time / It was, be it remember ed, anterior to the flare up of the Tam many ring, and long before the “flare up” between Greeley and Collector Murphy. “Just here,” to use a phrase the. venera ble Ex-President Johnson delighted to employ in making a nola bene, permit me to refer to the exact condition of New York politics, with direct reference to the different wings of each party, whose i. — ----- - ten to rtasotitt 1 For the first time in many a day I se^ t*&tmorHinyfk sop from the Government ip, the IIIronisle pan—i post- offioe advertisement 1 It mast, therefore, be concluded that Conkling’s and Mur- phy’a myrmidons have supplanted Sum ner’s nigged regiment in the estimation ot the “casli” paying Mr. Morris ?

But “rr is NOT THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE THAT” General Grant “has tut the largest TRUST IN THE GREATEST BOOBY AND CHEAT.” Cato.

Grant went to the Maryland Ag ricultural Fair, on the 3d, and elicited brays from bis peers. BSL. An Indiana paper says: “Mc Kean Buchanan belongs to a school of actors that is fast passing away,” And the public are united in the sentiment that the sooner they pass away, the better it will be for the American stage. Horace Greeley’s daughter is said to bo one of the most accomplished mathematicians in the country. She is properly named Ada. With all lief ac complishments, however, she has never been able to cipher up what her father knows about farming, or to de-cipher the political situation into what he and his party are tumbling. The Louisville Ledget' puts the question in the following manner, which is none the less pointed, because it is a little jocose: N. D.: “Good evening, Mr. Republi can. Don’t you intend to join our New Departure Democracy ?” Republican: ‘ ‘Why should I—my mon grel brother ?” N. D. : “Because I accept all your views —and wouldn’t change ’em if I could, and couldn’t if I would.” Republican: 1 “Is that so ? Well, then, what am I to gain by going with you ?— And besides, as my party is several years older than yours—and thoroughly organ ized—why in the d—l’s name don’t you come over to it ? You’d have less bag gage to move, you know ?” - ♦-< Neither of them care a jot about General Grant, the Radicals, or the Democratic party. I put in evidence, firstly, the fact that the Radicals, when partially in power at Albany, devised a scheme by which, es pecially in the city of New York, the plunder should be equally divided ! This fact is not disputed by any one. The enormous frauds upon the public of that city, were perpetrated under this regime to a very great extent. Secondly. After the Murphy wing of tho State plunderers was excluded, ap parently, General Grant was approached and bought with a “Cottage by the Sea.” Everybody knows this to be a fact, but who can say he saw the papers and heard ihe verbal preliminaries? I will venture to affirm that, although the thing is trans parent, no man could prove it before a Court of Justice, especially such an one as is presided over by His Honor, Judge Bond ! Thirdly. That the money to establish and sustain. mere partisan newspapers, for a purpose, on-either side, comes from no where else than the political (Jmurrrah of America—New York City! I might here rest the case but prefer not. I wrote, in special reference to the Chronicle, as follows: “Under these circumstances, it was with more wonder still, (if wonders may be said to have de grees of comparison), that the public read a recent announcement that the Chronicle had passed into the hands of that other huge patriot, ex-Governor Holden, of North Carolina!’’ * * * * “And now properly comes the informa tion that I am enabled to-give in this very important letter. It is that Holden got the money to ‘sustain’ the Chronicle, from the adjuncts of tho Democratic Tammany Ring.’’ The specific “information” thus given in my letter upon this particular point, was in every body's mouth. I supposed its correctness to be conceded in all quar ters, Living beard it all over tbe city without a breath of denial; in fact, every one knew from the general facts, what must necessarily be the case, and no one seemed to be at all surprised at it. (These Chronicle people seem to think, that be cause they stick their heads into the first hole, no other parts of their bodies or pockets can be seen by an inquisitive public.) And how am I met? Why, by a cautiously worded denial that “Holden has bought out Morris, or in any way dis placed Morris from the editorial or busi ness control of the Chronicle!" What mean, then, the columns of congratula tions extracted from other journals and published in the Chronicle itself, of his accession to the political “control” of that paper ? What means the insertion of his name as co-editor ? Above all, what in the Devil’s name, constitutes his rela tion to the concern, if it be neither an “editorial” nor a business relation ? But, suppose it to be admitted that his function of pulling the Chronicle on its legs again, has already ceased, and his posi tion merely nominal—on “the Btaff”— that, in short, it was only a job—what then ? Every one here knows what I mean by “the Radi cal adjuncts of the Tammany RiDg.” I mean Murphy and the gang of i)lun- derers of the New York Custom House. Will it be denied that they have always been, and are yet, hand and glove with the plunderers of Tammany ? Is it in tended to be gainsaid that succor from that quarter has not reached the coffers of the Chronicle? While I write I perceive evidence of a change, fundamentally, in the status of that wayward journal. Have Murphy & Co. brought Grant, Creswell & Co. to lis- GEORGIA MATTERS. Mr. UemyG.

Athens, Ga., October 9ib, 1871. Editors Atlanta Sun : The address of Col. Sam. Barnett to the young men of the University, on 8th inst., ^llj a. m., opened by a beautiful allusion to his own college days. Then, a glance was taken at the Professors and their relations to society and civilization. This was fol lowed by a general view of agriculture as a field of cultivated thought. The importance of having educated men in this mode of life was argued very | forcibly from the fact that four-fifths of nag—the usual method hoeiDg and plowing—just as tL^ might Igam it in every field of this Wh land. Or that in Mechanic Artl * 1 should take young men too indoleuW too proud to go into the work-shop ami set them at playing with tools m the hope of teaching them to wield’a ham mer or shove a plane. In sho t the error is that a 1 ROYAL ROAD shall be given to young men, by allow ing them to play mechanic, or play for mer, while their parents are too proud to let them do the real thing. Nothin^ can be more absurd—nothing more repug nant to tbe spirit which has prompted National and State endowments; nothin* more fatal to the true practical purposes of those institutions.” ALL HONOR to President White for uttering such a truth! With this truth both parent and child should be impressed. Not only the proud and indolent young men, but the proud parents, are reminded of the ab surd folly—a folly that has ruined thou sands of young men—of rearing children in school rooms and within college walls without calling upon, and if need be forcing, them to do the “real thin*” of life, !to experience, in a practical °way, the workings-of nature, by which only common sense is acquired. More should be said, aye,, more will be said, on the powerful arguments and logical reasonings of the report in favor of the principle of association, but a want of space prohibits just nowv I can say that the report, which will be before the pub lic in a few-days, must necessarily create much interest and. discussion with Geor gians generally. Yesterday was celebrated tbe 5th anni versary of the ;; ATHENS BIBLE SOCIETY. Touching and eloquent addresses were delivered by Professors Waddell and Broun. Rarely do we listen to such men talk—one acknowledged to be one of the finest linguists of tbe age, the other giv en up by all to be one'of the’clearest rea- soners and most accurate thinkers of this country. They certainly did honor to the association and reflected credit on their University. Large crowd in attendance. Time forbids comment on the substance of addresses. Let it suffice to say, they were splendid and instructive. Rev. Dr. Irwin, of Augusta, will preach here to night, to-morrow night and the night following. DR. MELL, we are glad to say, is slowly recovering. The students miss him much, as he has always been a favorite with them. A. A. 0®=. The Macon Citizen says: “Alexander Stephens treats his readers in The Atlahta. Sun to seven columns on ‘law and Order.’ Poor readers. How you suffer!’’ There is a-class of newspaper readers who suffer at every mention of “Law and Order.” but who would have thought that tho Editor of the Citizen was in a condition to) sympathize with such. What has he done ? Will not some kindly disposed individual examine the Bibb county criminal docket and let the fact be known.—Atlanta Sun. An examination of the criminal docket of Bibb has been made as you desire. Nothing can be found against us. We do find, however, that the “Kings' writs” have been after some of Stephens’ family, as there appears _ on record a criminal case of the U. S. vs Linton Stephens, who, we understand, is a brother of the “Senior” of The Sun,—Macon Citizen. A little further search in a pursuit of the Record, would have discovered the fact, that the “Kings’ writ” in this case, w r as dismissed when it was found that the “said Linton Stepens,” so far from having committed any crime, had only been maintaining “Law and Order” against the usurpations of the “fraudu lent amendments.” The Farce. Our neighbor, the Era, seems to be sen sitive about wbat is said of the remarks- the capital of Georgia were in agricul-1 0 f its editor,.in relation to the postpone- fnro* Via -fnrf.Vipr rpmnrlaPrl flip. ) - .... - ture; and he further remarked that the next twenty-five years would probably witness a greater amount of improvement in agriculture than had accrued in 6,000 years. I have in possession a copy of report of special committee of Alumni of Uni versity of Georgia, on the proposed COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS, to which I would specially call the atten tion of Alumni of the University; for in it many arguments are forcibly presented in favor of associating the agricultural college with the State University, as has been done by so large a majority of the States. We should all notice particularly the forcible argument in favor of this asso ciation under a head of the Report en titled “Economy of Association,” ia which is shown that by associating the Agricultural College with the State Uni versity, the salaries of seven Professors would be saved to tbe State; au amount equal, at least, to §14,000 per year; in that there are seven Professors of our Univer sity filling departments that are regarded as absolutely essential to every well or ganized Agricultural College. Let all friends of the University ob serve closely tbe following statement, which I quote from the Report: “ The University of Georgia now presents, not one curriculum as in former years, but she offers to her students, (1) a Classical Course, (2) a Scientific Course, (3) a Lit erary Course with Modern Languages and (4) an Engineering Course. She has recently organized (5) a Commercial Course, and (6) an Agricultural Course, and, besides, she has (7) a Course in Law. Students may elect any one of these courses for which they may be prepared, or they may elect a portion of any coarse.” As regards the object of a well-organ ized Agricultural Coliege, I would direct those persons, “who seem to suppose that the duty of the College is to develop -. - . - _ . „ . muscle, and not brain," to an extract, in tpartially, and especially is a terror the Report, from the * law-breakers. ment of the investigation of the charges against Capt.

This is the impression conveyed by read ing several articles which have appeared in the columns of the Era. What has really been dene, so far, is the arresting and binding over to Court of the following persons: I. P. Harris, N, P. Hotchkiss, B. W. Wrenn, James Mullins, W. D. R. Millar, J. C. Alexander, Jos. Fry and Foster Blodgett—all, except two of these, upon the affidavit of Maj. C. P. McCalla. _We have seen a list of over twenty names, whose cases, with specific charges, jWillbe presented to the Grand Jury—the result of which we shall see. We are inclined to the opinion that here is not much farce in it. Criminal Trial a t Fairburn, One year ago Mr. L. M. Spaight killed John Bradbury about a half mile from Fairburn, and is now on trial charged with murder. Yesterday morning the case was called. Some witnesses who had been sum moned failed to appeal’, and Judge Wright fined them §100 each, one jury man who failed to appear was fined §40. The entire day was spent in trying to get a jury. When court adjourned, only nine jurors had been selected. Judge Wright is highly spoken of as a good judge, administering the law im-
