THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: APRIL
CARPET-BAG BLUSTER.
Pirkunl anil Kellogg and their Coal Oil Brigade—
1 lie Attempt to Itully the President—'The
Troops to lie IVitlidraun Next Week.
New YoitK, April 19.—The Herald
d'Xjs not seem to have a very exalted
opinion of Packard’s position as an in
ti iridator of Hayes, and the editor says:
“The Louisiana cnrpet-baggers.prompt-
ed, it is supposed their Northern allies,
are threatening that if Packard is not
recognized and sustained, he will show
up the whole Louisiana fraud and make
an exposition ; that is to say, like the
late Orville Jewett, Packard is loading
a hand-grenade, and means, if he can
not get his price, to attempt to kill his
political partners.
It is one way, hut we judge the
wrong way, to conciliate the President.
Packard, Kellogg & Co. ought to see
that they cannot coerce the President
of the United States by such threats.
They simply make it impossible for
him to listen to them. If after such
threats the President should recognize
Packard or favor Kellogg’s pretentions,
the country would say that he was
scared into doing it, and that neither
the President nor the couutry could
afford.
A Washington special to the Even
ing Post says the members of the Cab
inet are not disposed to talk about a
change in the condition of affairs in
Louisiana until aftei something defi
nite has been done by the President.
.Jfc is evident, however, from what little
is said that the administration feels
embarrassed by the refusal of the
Packard Legislature to accept the com
promise proposed yesteiday, and that
while future efforts will be made to
firing the two factions together, not
amteh. hope is entertained of doing so.
, If sx-Governor Warmouth is sincere
an his .professions of loyalty to the
Packard party and intends to do as he
■says, the.opinion is expressed here by
.some persons that a final settlement
will be delayed some time. Packard’s
adherents, here are very much elated,
and assert that the only object the
Legislature -had in refusing to enter
into the.arxangement submitted by the
Commission, was to force the President
to decide between Nicholls and Pack
ard as to .which is the legal Governor.
There is every reason for believing
that the order withdrawing the troops
from, the Stateshouse will not be de
layed many days. It may take place
^before the commission returns.
The. Graphic’s Washington special
ways the President told Representative
Harry White last,juight that the Lou-
isafla case would be settled this week,
and that the troyps would be with
drawn next week. Jle also told Mr.
While, that, the extra session of Con
gress would be called on the fourth of
June, reports to the contrary notwith
standing.
The.dispatches from .Louisiana this
raorniug cause some anxiety among
the Republicans, but the president and
members of the Cabinet do,not appear
to be at.fcll concerned at ,the stand
"taken by- the Packard .Legislature.
The troops will be withdrawn as soon
as the commission reaches Washing
ton, and they are expected early next
week. ' J
To day, persuant to orders reeeived
from the War Department. Bedloe’s
Island was abandoned as a military
post. The post is abandoned to make
room for Bartholdis’ 6tatue of liberty,
the work on which will soon be com
menced.
As this is the season for white-
-washing we extract the following du
rable receipt from the agricultural
column of tho Constitution:
One. bushel of lime, four pounds of
sulphate of zinc, two pounds of com
mon salt. Slake the lime with boiling
water. It will make a coating as
white and as durable very nearly as
good puint.
Little Johnnie is quite sure the
pioture of a Spitz dog he drew on the
parlor wall was good, because it made
bis father mad.
Mr. D., if you will get my coat
done Saturday, I shall be forever in
debted to you.” “ If that is your
game, it won’t be done,’’ said the
tailor.
“ Cheat Justice Joe Bradly” is what
they call him in Philadelphia.

Norwood, Ga., January 12,1877.
Messrs. J. O. Mathkwoon &Co., Augusta, Ga.—Dear Sirs: I have used the Pacific Guano
for several years with good success. Lust year I tried several kinds, vis: Barry, Patapsco and
Soluble Pacific.
On the 30th of March lost I concluded to make a test with Guano and Green Cotton Seed. I
manured three rows with Cotton Seed only. I then inauured three rows with fifteen pounds of
Pacific Guano and Cotton Seed, using the same quantity of Buiry’s and Patapsco mixed with
Cotton Seed on the same quantity of ground, which was poor mullato land, all the same kind and
all treated alike.
Max cue.

The rows were 170 yards long, and I used at the rate of four bushels of Cotton Seed per acre.
Cotton was all picked on sunny afternoons, I being present aud weighed it inyself.
The experiment was made to ascertain what Guano was best suited to use with Green Cotton
Seed. Very respectfully yours,
W. II. EDWARDS.
