The Prefentmente of the Grand Juiy of Madison County, which .we should have re* crived from the IPafchman office last week were not received until too late for today’s issue. They will appear in our next We have received lately several interest* ing VWjMhfaiicmtions, some of which we would be glad to publish, but they are without the name of the writers, and we cannot violate our rule, which is to publish no communication whatever, unless accom panied with the name of the author. Let everybody bear in mind this rule, and those feeling disposed to give their views to the public through our columns, can only do so by accompanying their articles with their names. i - The Athens Georgian. The handsome heading with which we now present the enlarged and newly dressed Georgian, contains, as will be seen, a cut representing the University grounds and buildings on the left, and the Athens Cot ton Mills on the right, both centering upon the Georgia Court of Arms. Thus, our heading may be said to contain within Wsclf, a significance of those principles which, if but strictly adhered to, must prove the so lution of all our troubles. In politics, let-ns exercise “ wisdom, jus tice and. moderation ” ever standing by those principles which guarantee to all the States equal tights and justice under the Constitution. As to our educationnl inter est, the sucoess of which gives sure founda tion and strength to our Government, both State and Federal, and the institutions claiming their festering care, let us advo cate that system which extends its benficent advantages to the whole youth of our land. Considering our agricultural and indus trial welfare, let ns stimulate that course, which bringing about a self-sustaining agri culture, will enable us in a mechanical and industrial way to ntilixe those facilities and advantages with which nature has so largely blessed our country. Then, and not till then, may we hope that restoration of our former wealth and prosperity, which under the gui dance of a sound, practical economy, and the intelligence of the educated masses, will ex perience an increase heretofore unknown in our Southern land. Our New Fuss. Having recently purchased one of Cottrell & Babcock’s best and most improved power presses, a superior press to any one ever before brought to this section of the State, a cut of which may be seen in the ad vertisement of our Job department, and having purchased a now general out-fit for our Office, wc are now prepared not only to present the Georgian to our readers in an improved and attractive style, but with our Mr. Powell, who has had a larger experi ence in Job printing than any one else now engaged in the business in this city, propose to give special attention to Job work, exe cuting all kinds of work in this line in the latest and most unproved style, and at most reasonable prices. Our Circulation. With a circulation now equal to, if not great er than that of any weekly paper in this sec tion, or in the State, and with a rapid daily increase in our subscription list, such as will, together with the enlarged interest our “ Daily" must necessarily add to our Weekly, enable us at an early day, to boast a much larger circulation than any other Weekly in the State, we present the col umns of the Georgian to the business men of our country as a most suitable and advan tageous medium through which to bring their claims before thei public. - Our Advertising Rates. Upon comparison, it wiU bo found that our rates for advertising are not only rea sonable, but as low, if not lower, than those of any Weekly paper in the State of like circulation. Our rates now, as they have been at all times, tie so reduced as to suit the hard times, and with no disposition at any time, to make unjust exactions of our patrons, we trust we shall be favored with a contin uation of their most liberal patronage. Men.« olqultt in Northeast Georgia. It was our honor and pleasure to accom pany this noble Georgian in his recent trip through a portion of Northeast Georgia. Well may oar State be proud of such a son, who in discharging the duties of the most important work which has been assigned him, and true to that patriotism which so dis tinguished him ss a gallant hero of onr "lost cause," is now, with a most commendable degree of earnestness, endeavoring to re store our grand old Commonwealth from the ruins of our late civil war. Gen. Colquitt in his addresses to the large and attentive crowds which assembled to hear him on Tuesday, the 14th inst., at Jefferson, on Tuesday night, at Harmony Grove, Jackson county, on Wednesday, the l5th, at Damdsville, Madison county, and on Thursday, the 16th, at Homer, Banks county, demonstrated, we apprehend, to the full conviction of all who heard him, the fact that not only does our future wealth and prosperity, but even our independence as a people, depend upon a reformed, stimu lated and self-sustaining agriculture. In his illustrations of the evil conse quences attending our present system of farming, in drawing his comparisons be tween the present aspects of our country and what they would be under a more ju dicious system, he was both interesting and impressive. In presenting to the formers of this section tho subject of Direct Trade, which duty is now calling Gun. Colquitt, tho President of that Association in Geor gia, before the people of the Statu, he was highly instructive, presenting such facts in regard to its advantages to our whole peo ple of whatever class or vocation, and show ing for the want thereof the great discrimina tions against our success and true interest in such convincing terms, that we doubt not hut thatthepeopleof Northeast Georgia now see this enterprise in a new and much more fa vorable ligkL The General is doing a good and noble work for the people of his native State, and if those who have been so unjust as to impute his motives to selfish ambition or aspirations for higher honors at the hands of those who have ever been glad the opportunity of honoring so noble a son of so noble a are, had only been with us on this trip, they would have hastened to do justice to him whom they have wronged. We havo ho doubt, and feel safe in saying that Gen. Colquitt would make us a most excellent Chief Executive, and that his earnest work in behalf of the State he so much loves, and which lie has, in more ways than one, so faithfully served, will have a most convincing weight with the people of Georgia in making up their choice for onr next Governor, but that he is actuated by motives which would induce him to use the position assigned him by the Agricultural Society of Georgia and the Direct Trade Union for his own selfish purposes, is a great mistake and a gross in justice. There was no allusion to politics or the Governorship whatever by Gen. Colquitt or any of his hearers, during his recent tour in upper Georgia. Indeed, he suc ceeded so thoroughly iu : "p- and di recting the attention of thaT people to their true and vital interest, namely, their sys tem of agriculture and its needed reform, that we feel confident in saying that our Gubcrnational interest for the time being, was unthought of. Would that our time and space allowed a fuller report of this interesting and enter taining trip with Georgia’s progressive ag riculturalist through a portion of our sec tion, but as we must conclude, what other, wise would he a most pleasing office, we do so, by appending, in attestation of what we have said, the following handsomely expressed notice of Gen. Colquitt from the Augusta Constitutionalist. We had the pleasure of a short visit last night from Gen. A. H. Colquitt, who had been spending the day with and addressing the Richmond County Grangers. He took the train last night for his home near At lanta. We take the occasion to state that Gen. Colquitt has never said ouc word about the candidacy for Governor of Geor gia. The newspapers and their correspond ents have done all that. No one has ever authoritatively spoken on the subject. He has, however, for ten years past, worked hard and most faithfully to elevate the fanning interests of Georgia, delivering ad dresses in a majority of the counties upon purely agricultural topics, totally free from polities and without even political allusions. The papers have misconstrued all this into an ambition to be Governor, thns robbing him of much that is due him, and breaking the force of what he had to say. After all that has been said, no one actually knows whether he wontd even accept the nomina tion. We freely give General Colquitt the glory of having defended Georgia like a hero, as he is: and, when all was lost in battle save our lands, of making a still more Ike Maine Election. The result of the recent election in this heretofore thoroughly radicalized State, we take as a most favorable indication of the rapid'decay of the Republican party, such as more than likely angers for hern Democratic sucoess in the coming Presidential election. Albeit the Democratic party in that State has been regularly defeated for the past twenty •-five or thirty years, yet the reduction of the Republican majority siuce the last election from eleven thousand and upward to forty-five hundred, most necessarily increase An Allens Dally. We are glad to set that Dr. H. H. Carl ton. of the Georgian, intends shbrtty to iswie it as a first-elsc-s daily in every respect. It will contain the latest news by mail and telegraph, and will prove a welcome visitor, not only to the people of the Ninth District (who have not s single daily of their own), but to every person on this branch, who, through it, can obtain tho news several hours in advance of the Aigusta or Atlanta pupere. It is the duty of every one who has his own in terest at heart, ss xrll as that of our section, to subscribe for thbaase, as, under the graceful and convincing pen of Dr. C„ it will exert a greater influence tovard building up this part will doubtless, ere the Contest which must - - - • - ~ so seriously involve the liberties of the people and the destiny of our republic, place it fully in line with those States which, through their Democratic supremacy, are striving for good and honest government We take pleasure in calling the attention of the public generally, and of our agricultu ralists especially, to the Report of the Com mittee on the Department of Agriculture and Horticulture, made to the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia. The efforts and success of Dr. Pendleton, in supplying a long existing necessity, in the way of a Text Book of Scientific Agriculture, is most de servedly commended, and the general adop tion which his book has received, is a high compliment to the ability and scientific at tainments of its author. The recommendation of the Committee to substitute the Degree of Bachelor of Agri culture for the Degree of Bachelor of Science, and to establish the Degree of Master of Agriculture, is, in our judgment, a most wise suggestion. Let it by all means be adopted by the Trustees, as an additional stimulant to the more thorough sucoess of this already prosperous scientific institution. We trust the Press generally throughout the State will notice this Report, that greater impetus may be given the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and that an increased interest in scientific agriculture may be the result among our Georgia farmers.

From the dispatches of Grant and Pi reexport to Ames, and which will be found in mother column, it appears that Grant, either from the influence of the At torney-General or from the ferae of outride pressure, at hist derides to act in accordance with Ms heretofore unheeded and unmeant proclamation, “Let ushavePcace!” Grant need build no hope for a Third Term upon this relaxation of bayonet role, which ex pectation no doubt, had great weight in swaying his obstinate nature to the inffu- encc of Mm who oonsiders justice and the rights of the people paramount to miserable and unjustifiable party measures.

New York and Nebraska Jn-their recent Democratic State Conventions placed them selves squarely on a hard money platform. This has been or may bo the care in othjr States, but the question of smr finances should not cause the Americas people at this timojto lose right of the fact thst'suc- cessful reformation in onr system of National finances or political economy must be es tablished upon the sure foundation of hon est, correct and Constitutional government. Let onr State Conventions dispose of this question as to them may seem best and wisest. But in onr National Convention, let ns by all means, consider the more im portant question, as to how to supplant corruption, plunder, and Government de basing Radicalism, with such a return to Constitutional government as will again bring about that reign of honesty, econo my, happiness and prosperity, which marked the better days of onr Republic. Let the Democrats, by all means, avoid such issues as are likely to divide their ranks or alienate that conservative element, who recognising the evil tendencies of Grant and his administration, are now dis posed to bring up their strength in aid of that return _to the government of our fore fathers, which will prove the sure correction of onr existing evils, and as surely deter mine onr future welfare as a nation. Let the fundamental evil first be removed, let the ground work for a good and honest administration of the affairs of the nation first be laid, aod then will all tilings good and needful be added thereunto. • t -a?'-' ; Editor Georgian:—In your issue of tho 15th inst., I read with surprise, your strict ures on the Presentments of the last Grand Jury, and am satisfied that, had you known the facts of the Presentments, yon might have'been spared the trouble of calling up a matter that every careful reader of the Presentments and Mr. Johnson’s appended note, found sufficiently explained. But to the facts: Every single officer of the County came before the Jury, in person, except Mr. J. W. Johnson and one: or two of the J ustices; (he was unavoidably absent,) and Ms Deputy, Mr. John Calvin Johnson, was called in and after spending sometime with the Jury, frankly confessed his inabil ity to unravel the mystery, and finally said: “Gentlemen, I frankly confess I am unable to explain this list, and think there has been an omission here, which I am satisfied my son could explain to your satisfaction, hut he is unavoidably absent, and i ain unable more clear headed business man than Mr. John Calvin Johnson, and his statement was made when we wen- within a few hours of adjourning, and there was no alternative but to report the matter iu the way we did, and I think your readers will generally agree with me that Mr. J \V. Johnson’s note appended, explained the matter fully, and to the satisfaction of the people of Clarke county generally. Now, Mr. Editor, a few words to you, in all kindness: 1 do not think this attack on the efficiency of the Grand Jury will pay you for the trouble of writing it. When the Judge so unqualifiedly corQliinented the last Grand Jury on the efficiency of their work, I think! they can rest quietly in their consciences, notwithstanding the strictures of the Geobgian. A Grand Juror, and one of the Committee on Tax Collector’s Books. Notwithstanding the discourteous spirit of the above communication almost forbids its publication, still we give it as the only reply we have from any one ot the Oread Jury. We deem comment wholly uunecessary, as tbecommunicationapeaksforitself. The writ er not only foils to explain the mattrr, exhone- rate the Tax Collector or excuse tho Grand Jury, but corroborates all we have said, aud in his attempt to vindicate the body which he represents, charges upon them a neglect of duty so much greater than we had intimated, that we apprehend hie associate Jurymen, the Tax Collector, aud the people generally, will now consider an explanation of the whole matter more necessary than ever. The commendation of the Judge in a gen eral way, and which is much a matter of custom, by no means excuses a neglect of duty, of which in all probability he had no knowledge whatever. Should Judge Rice have known these focts, and failed to require the Jury to investigate the matter fully and until a satisfactory explanation could have ’wen made, it by no means excuses the Grand Jury, but simply shows Mm neglectful of what was his unmistakable duty as'Judge. It must be remembered that the note of Mr. JoHxsoN was not furnished to the Grand Jury, but was added to their preseDtmeoto by him after they had been sent in for pub lication. Now, if this explanation is satia- factory to the Jury, does it not become their duty to so state, both in justice to the Tax Collector and to the people, who may not comprehend it as fully or as readily as thuee conversant with the feet* t The Foreman, as well as other members of the Jury, inform us that they are still unable to comprehend the matter; therefore we again call upon them to do their duty to themselves, the Tax Collector and the tax payers generally.

' 1 [For Tbs Athens Georgian. University of Georgia. Athens, Sept. 16, 1875. Mr. Editor: Sir—-At a recent meeting of the Pruden tial Committee, it fas resolved to publish the following report, which I furnish os a com munication tor your paper, and which I trust will have sufficient interest to be copied by the other newspapers of the State. It is very gratifying to state, that Dr. Pendleton’s Text Book has be$n adopted as a Text Book in Amherst College and in the University of Mississippi, and perhaps in several other lead ing Institutions. It deserves to be adopted in all the Agricultural Institutions of the United States. A second edition, enlarged and corrected, is now getting through the Press of A. S. Barnes & Co., Publishers, New York. Very respectfully, Wm. L. Mitchell, Chairman. The Report of the Committee on the De partment of Agriculture and Horticulture was taken up, and adopted, and is as fol lows: 2b the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia: Your Committee on Agriculture and Hor ticulture have the pleasure of expressing their great satisfection at the progress mado in this Department ot the Georgia State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. The very many experiments made on the Farm, each year, aud published for the benefit of the people of the State, are' valu able contributions to Agricultural Science, and are being appropriated to Economic Agriculture. , , Professor Pendleton, on entering upon the duties of his chair, found the field unexplor ed and without appropriate Text Books. But he brought, to the direction of the Experimental Farm, a large practical ex perience and scientific knowledge, which soon made this experimental station of incalcul able value lo the people. He created a system of teaching at onee attractive and in structive to the student. the first twi Text Book of SoNbtific. Agricoi use of his classes, a compendium of general* agricultural science, useful alike to Teachers and Students. « It is with pride your Committee refers to this Text Bonk, the work ot our own Pro fessor. It reflects great credit upon his energy, enterprise, industry, and science. The lectures of this Professor before the Agricultural Society of the State, have achieved a very iaige reputation, both for himself and the University. At the recent National Agricultural Congress, held-at Raleigh, North Carolina, one of his lectures was ordered to be read. This was a marked compliment and evidence of the high| appre ciation of his acquirement*. He is solicited to deliver lectures in other States also. The Committee refers to tho special report of the Professor, as to the more minute working of his Department. Your Committee suggest to the Board to abolish in this Department, the Degree of Bachelor of Science, and adopt Ihe more significant one of “ Bachelor of Agriculture,” to obtaiu which a three years course shall be required, retaining .the present schedule fer the first and second years, and creating one for the third year, 4ty selections from the present third and fourth year courses; and Savannah revels in Chinqaepiiis.

The Constitution is explidt that the Execu tive of the State can call upon the President for aid in “ suppressing domestic violence only when the Legislature cannot be convened," and the law expressly says, “ t» ease of an insurrec tion in any Slate against the Government thereof, it shod be lawful for Vie President on appHca\ tionof the Legislature of such State, or of the Executive when the Legislature cannot be con vened to eaU," etc. - It is the plain meaning of the Constitution and the laws when taken together that the executive of the Stale may call upon the President for military aid to quell domestic violence—only in case of an insurrection in any State against the government thereof when the Legislature cannot be called togeth- You make no suggestion ever that there is any insurrection against the government of the State or that the Legislators would not support yon in any measures you might propose to preserve the public order. I sug gest that you take all lawful means and aU needed measures to preserve the peace by force in your own State, and Jet the. conn see that the dtizens of Mississippi who are largely favorable to good order, and who are largely Republican nave the courage and the manhood to fight for their rights and to destroy the bloody ruffians who murder the innocent and unoffending freed man.

Washington, September 15.—The De partment of Agriculture reports the condi tion of cotton better in September that in August in Mississippi, Lousiana and Arkan sas, and worse on the Atlantic const in Ala bama and in Texas. The jBiralant'drtiiUhs of July were succeeded by nuns in August too copious for the results In the Mississippi Valiev, and quite injurious in heavy soils of the Eastern belt, causing.mt, shedding of leaves and fruit, and to some extent rotting of the lower bolls- There is a rank recent growth, which will yield lsrgely with a favor able and long autumn season, disappointment in case *of an early killing froet. In some parts of the State of Texas the drouth continued for nine weeks, but the seasonable rains since the middle of August have placed the fields id high condition in all except the most severely parched localities] Losses from the prevalence ot infects will scarcely bea fraction in calculating the pro duct of the present year. A few counties iu Florida and lower Georgia report the cater pillar. The boll worm is more numerous in Lowudes county. Miss..'aud heard from iu a few other counties. Lice are mentioned by some correspondents, .and in Covington, Alaharaa, the correspondent reports a new enemy which be calls a minute gnat, which harbors on the leave like lice, producing widespread and serious injury. As compared with September, 1874, the only States now reporting lower condition are South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, sad in the Mississippi Valley the improvement is very marked, particularly in Tennessee and Arkansas, in which the averages were very low in 1874- A large proportion of tbe cotton area of the country is represented iu the September re turns, which include no le-s than 60 cotton counties in Texas and 76 in Georgia.

I heartily wish that peace and good order may tie restored without ia- suing the proclamation, hut if it is not, the will proclamation must lie issued, and if it i*,»I shall instruct tho commander of the forces to have nn child’s play. If there is a necessity for military interference, there is justice in such interference as to deter evil doers. I would suggest the sending of a dispatch or letter by private messenger to Gov. . Ames, ur 8* n f> h |m to strengthen his own position by exhausting his own resources in restoring order before lie receives Government aid. He might accept the assistance offered by the citizens of Jackson and elsewhere. Gov. Ame3 and his advisers can be made nerfectly secure, as many of the troops now in Missis- sippi as he deems necessary may be sent to Jackson. If he is betrayed hv those who offer assistance, he will be in a position to defeat their ends and punish them.” You see by this tho mind of the President with which 1 and every member of the Cab inet who has been consulted are in full ac cord—you see the difficulties—you see the resposibilities which you assume.
