who it can be. This is the second body
found in the same phree within the last three
months. We cannot understand wh\' the
Colleges do not provide proper dissecting
rooms, so that the horrid details accompanying
this necessary branch of a medical education

Augusta Chronicle <s• Constitutionalist : “ A
Georgian who sought Paradise in Texas and
has realized his mistake, writes to know if
money cannot be raised to bring himself
and some of his fellow sufferers back to their
old home. lie says thousands have been
‘fooled into Texas’ by the misrepresentations
of railroad agents and land speculators, and
that thousands are anxious to return. They
have not found * the poor man’s paradise’ and
the ‘ homes for the homeless’ so graphically
described to them, and tell a pitiful story of
injustice and extortion. They allege that
the lines in Texas are so hard that even the
negro emigrants are quitting Hi disgust and
joining the noble army of colored tramps
bound for bleeding Kansas. The picture is
doubtless overdrawn, but the fact remains
Unit many foolis i Georgians and Carolinians,
who expected to find a land of promise in
Texas,, have been hitterly disappointed, and
would, be glad to come back if they were able
to do so. Any honest and industrious man
can make more money and live with more
comfort in Georgia and the Carolinas than in
Texas, and if he catches the Texas fever lie
will have cause to regret wlien it is too late
to remedy Uis folly. *

[From our regular Correspondent.]
Washington, 1). C., Dec. sth, 1870.
The capital is exceedingly dull, politically,
and during the recess we have had nothing
to discuss but the Maine difficulty. As the
facts relating to the situation in that .State
become better known here, much admiration
is expressed for the conscientious and coura
geous course of Gov. Garcclou and his green
back councilmen, while the hot headed action
of Blaine and company, in endeavoring to
incite mob violence, is condemned by all
thinking men. llad the Democratic majority
who elected Tihieu in 1879 adopted such a
course a lien they were counted out, and three
States stolen from them by means of perjury
and forgery, wiiat would have been the con
dition of this country? Rlood would have
flown in the streets of every town from Maine
<o Florida. But cooler counsel prevailed,
and the Democrats, though in a majority of
more than a quarter of a million on the
popular rote, permitted the first fraudulent
President ever inaugurated in the nation to
take his scat rather than resort to revolution.
But there is no comparison between the two
cases. There has been no fraud in Maine,
except the Republican frauds at the ballot
box. The counting has been done strictly
according to law, and with previous precedents
and court decisions for a guide m interpreting
the law.
But the most sickening feature of the com
ment upon the case here is the talk of John
Sherman and the present occupant of the
White House. To hear the chief backer and
adviser of Madison Wells in New Orleans in
1879, and the man who chiefly benefited by
that monstrous fraud, prate about outraging
the voters, is enough to make a mule shed
tears. Hays sai l the other day that the
’* fraud” would fail, because the men to whom
Garcelon had given certificates would decline
to take their seats. Now, from what analysis
does this thick-skinned fraud deduce this
conclusion? He certainly don’t judge others
by himself. He didn’t refuse to take the
seat to which another was elected. The cheek
of this man would paralyze a book agent or
a lightning rod peddler.
It is said that an effort will bo made in
Congress, after tiie recess, to abolish tlie
agricultural bureau as a separate Department.
The idea is that as now conducted tiie in
stitution is one of the most expensive and
; least useful luxuries the Government has on
| hand. Very little practical benefit to the
| agricultural industriss of the country can he
set down to the credit of this institution, while
its printing bills and other expense items are
enormous. It is proposed to have the work
for which this department was originally
designed performed under the direction of
some other Department—the Interior for
instance. One of the objects sought to be
accomplished by this movement is to get rid
of Le Due. The common verdict is that
Lc Due is a first-class humbug. For the time
being he lias abandoned his bon-bon plants
and his experiments with bamboo seeds, and
since the unveiling of the Thomas statue has
been turning his attention to the monument
crop. There are few things so much needing
the attention of the Agricultural Department,
whose head official has accomplished such
momentous results hitherto. There is a great
demand for monuments, which is " r rowin''
r? n
year by year, and there really does not seem
to be any good reason why we shouldn’t raise
our own monuments, and in that way save a
great deal of money that has been wasted in
getting up a lot of half-finished and imperfect
affairs for everybody to poke fun at. When
the obelisk which is destined for this coun
try arrives. Commissioner Le Due will confer
a great favor upon all who are In need of
monuments if lie will suggest some method
of grafting which will prove successful, and
insure a kind of monument that shall look
finished and be pleasing to the eye.
The most magnificent and costly private
residence in Washington was partially de
stroyed by fire Tuesday night. •• Castle
Stewart” was eroded in 1872-3 by W. M.
Stewart, then Senator from Noyada, and
rated as a “ bonanza king.” It was an im
posing structure of peculiar construction, re
sembling a public building more than a
private residence, and, occupying the 'highest
ground in the city, in tiie most aristocratic
section, always attracted the attention of
visitors. It cost about $250,000, and the
furniture over SIOO,OOO, to say nothing of the
fine paintings and rare works of art, many of
which are a total loss.
Mr. Haves and Secretary Evarta lately
suspended their search for somebody to take
the Russian mission to indulge in a spirited
argument upon the subject of dress coats.
The great question was, whether swallow-tails
or frock coats were the proper thing for New
Year’s receptions. Mr. Hearts field that the
frocks were good enough for him, but Hayes
wanted the Secretary of State to understand
that his receptions were just as high toned
as any receptions. The swallowtails won
the day. Pjiono.
The Mexican War Veterans.
Atlanta, October 25, 1879.—At the an
nuai meeting of the Mexican Veteran Associ
ation, held this date at the fair grounds,
General Henry U. Jackson, of Savannah.
Ga.. was elected president and Major G. M.
Hanbey, of Atlanta, Secretary ; and the fol
lowing resolution was, upon motion of Cap
tain \Y. G. Newman, adopted :
Resolved, That we request our senators
and representatives from the south to use all
honorable means to place the Mexican vet
erans on the same footing as the soldiers of
the late war, now drawing pensions, as pro
posed by the Ohio Mexican Veteran Associ
ation. and if they cannot place our Southern
Mexican veterans on the pension roll, that
they introduce a bill and urge its passage to
place our Northern Mexican veterans on the
roll, who so nobly stood shoulder to shoulder
on so many T memorable, glorious and hard
fought fields that sheds such lus’er on our
arms and gave to the country such wealth
and vast exteut of public domain ; and further
he it.
Resolved, There is notone Southern Mexi
can veteran who would keop a Northern
Mexican veteran from his just dues one mo
ment, and therefore we do most earnestly
urge our senators and representatives in con
gress from the south, to do all in their pow
er to fhave placed on the pension rolls the
Mexican veterans from the north, at once on
the same footing as the soldiers of the late
war.
The Dalton Citizen says that the extesive
tannery of Colonel Sam Carter, of Murray
county, was destroyed by fire last Friday
night. It, is not accurately known how the
lire originated, but it is thought to have oe
cured by the carelessness of one of the em
ployes. The tannery was located at Carters’s
Landing, on the Coosawatla river. Tim Joss,
no insurance, was admit $7,000.
The Grant Boom in Augusta and Savannah.
The Augusta Chronicle Constitutionalist
says: “ The Grant boom in Savannah as
sumed more formidable proportions than it
did in Augusta. I treadled the dinner giving,
speech making, serenading stage there, while
here it took the milder type of hand shaking
and carriage riding. Wbat it would have
been in Atlanta, let Judge Lochrane and
Captain Burke, of the Gate City Guards,
answer.”
If we are to take the word of Mr. Byron
Andrews, the correspondent of the Chicago
Inter-Ocean , who travels with the Grant hip
perdrorue to write up tli® boom, the reoption
in Augusta, if not of very “ formidable pro
portions,” was certainly much more unani
mous, spontaneous and enthusiastic than in
Savannah. Mr. Andrews puts Augusta down
as safe for the third term, and in his dispatch
from that city to his paper says :
“ There was an immense crowd at the
depot, that cheered lustily enough to put a
Chicago gathering to shame. The boom has
struck the city bad, and all without any
previous arrangement. It is spontaneous
and uproarious beyond description. General
Grant is astonished. Where he expected to
pass quietly and unobserved, he is a lion,
whether or no. Both white and black have
caught the infection.”
We have no desire to contest the honors
in this case with onr sister city up the river.
On the contrary, we most cheerfully concede
that no such spontaneous, uproarious”
demonstration, as that described by Mr.
Andrews, “ astonished General Grant” on his
arrival or during his brief sojourn in our city.
The reception here was in no sense a mani
festation of popular admiration for General
Grant. It is but simple justice to the great
majority of our citizens to say that the formal
public courtesies extended to him and his
party while here, were dictated solely by the
maxims of hospitality and civility, and while
the demonstration, such as it was. afforded
no indication of the popular sentiment, it
was equally destitute of political significance.

The Rome Daily wants the Midgets to visit
| that city.
Flowery Branch, on the Air Line railroad,
| has shipped twenty-six hundred hales thus
far this season, and it is still coming in.
It is stated that from a yield of SIOO,OOO
in bullion in 1865. the Georgia gold fields
have advanced to $1,000,000 per annum, with
a promise of larger returns next year.
Mr. Nat. Hutchinson, of Harris county,
lias a pig that walks on six well-formed feet,
is three months old, and is fat and hearty.
He talks about endeavoring to start anew
breed of swine in that section.
A petition is in circulation in Elberton,
numerously signed, requesting the Council
to raise the license to retail liquor in that
town to $5,000. A counter petition is also
being; circulated, and much excitement
exists.
The Dalton Citizen says that Mr. W. J.
Ault, Whitfied county, was drowned at Tread
well's mill, last week. lie was attempting
to save a raft of logs that was about to go
over the dam, and in some way getting his
foot caught between the timbers was carried
over the dam and drowned. llis body has
not yet been found.
We notice mention made of the following
changes among the newspapers of the State :
Mr. John T. Wilson has disposed of the
Blue Ridge Echo to Messrs. Bell and Under
wood. It will be conducted in the interest
of the regular Democracy. 11. W. J. Ham
has retired from the Gainesville Eagle, leav
ing Colonel J. E. Rcdwine editor and pro
prietor. Mr. J. E. Atkins is no longer pub
lisher of the Gainesvillo Southron , and has
left the city. Ho is succeeded by Mr. Frank
M. Pickrell, lately the efficient foreman of
the Echo,
Th e Home Jourmnl says: “On Monday
last a negro man was arraigned before Judge
Weaver for stealing wheat from Mr. White
Moore. It appears that Mr. M. has occa
sionally missed wheat, and adopted the fol
lowing .expedient: lie mixed with his grain
hundreds of bits of paper on which was
written the letter M. This was known to his
miller, Mr. Leslie, who suspected that the
negro brought more wheat to the mill than
belonged to him, and finlly, when he was ar
rested, acknowledged the corn, or rather
wheat, and called the device of Mr. Moore a
very ‘cute trick.’ Of course he was convicted,
and adds another worker to the chain-gan' l- .”
Hon. Francis Fontaine, the Georgia Com
missioner of Immigration, is in Columbus
on a flying visit to his old home. He informs
the Enqnirer-Sun that the success promised
to his plans is most gratifying. Thousands
of acres of land have been registered and
will be offered to settlers at a cost less than
those of the govenment to actual settlers.
They are convenient to railroad. Such in
ducements will interest capitalists, and with
their aid immigrants can bo obtained in
abundance. All the schemes are working
well. Farmers on the average can make
more money per acre in Georgia than they
can in the West, or North, or any other coun
try, for they can realize a succession of crops.
At the same time they can retain health and
not be frozen half the year.
Dalton Citizen: Quite an amusing, though
hair-breanth escape, occurred to a Murray
county man the week before last.. lie and
a number of others were rafting some logs
across the Conasauga river, while it was up,
when the raft they were upon came to pieces.
The others could swim, but the above Mur
ray man was a novice in the art, and could
not swim a lick ; lie clung as tenaciously to
one of the drifting logs as “a drowninw roan
clings to a straw,” and was whirled swiftly
down the river, his impromptu craft at the
mercy of the stream. For six miles he float
ed in this predicament, becoming cold and
numb with being in the water, but sthicking
to the log like a leech, and also freely using
his lungs with the hope of bringing someone
to his assistance. A man on the bank was
attracted by his cries, and rushing to his res
cue liberated the Unfortunate fellow from his
precarious position, more frightened than
otherwise injured.

I The Chicago Ledger la now ap-
I proaching the close of the seventh
I tts existence, having been
[established in the winter of 1873.
The Ledges was started by its pres-
I ent conductors with some misgiv
j lngs as to the success of the enter
j pvise. Many lib rary ventures of a
[ kindred character had been made In
the Western metropolis, and miser-
I ably failed. The sea of journalism
was strewn with the wrecks of
stranded newspaper enterprises.
Others that were living, but strug-
I filing for a precarious existence,
1 have since yielded to inevitable fate
j and gone down, leaving The Ledger
to-day the only weekly story-paper
printed in Chicago,
| The Leduee has not attained the
plane of success upon which it now
•olidly rests without earnest, well
directed effort. Its conductors have
| labored earnestly and persistently
j not only to make It an excellent lit
erary journal, but also to make the
reading world acquainted with It.
Thousands upon thousands of dol
lars have been oxpended in bringing
its merits to tho attention of tho
reading public. In fact. The Ledgeb
has been the most extensively-ad
vertised newspaper in the West.
The publishers have a feeling of
pride at the success that has at
tended their efforts to build up a
