Some of the Treasurer’s friends objected to the count on the ground that it would pat that official trouble oi making a recount of the money after the eommittee finishes. Ths President As accepted aa invi tation from the veterans of the First and other oorps to visit the battle field of Gettysburg when they make their historical visit there on the 4th and 5th of May, unless prevented by soma urgent necessity in the pnblio service. The President is anxious to be on the field when the leading Gen erals of both armies are there to plain their movement^ An Irishman who waa very near sighted, about to fight a duel, insisted that he should stand six paces near his antagonist than he did to him and that they should both fire at the same time.

Grant, make themselves ridiculous by ' incessantly discoursing on the condi tion of his health. This is,a cheap way of advertising themselves. It was - the oonrse that that wank man, Bliss, pursued, when President Garfield was wounded. These dailyWletins spec ulating on the number of months that Gen. Grant may possibly live, will neccsiiarily have a very depressing ef fect on the General’s mind and hasten his death if he really has an incurable disease. The General ati'.I has a ro bust will, and nothing would please H the country better than to learn that he bad dismissed them for impertinence. Carcinoma is not necessarily incurable, as there are well attested instances where disease has disappeared after making considerable progress. A paper published in Buffalo, N.

The ninth volame of the tenth census report, j ast issued, shows thmt the forest product of this country for the year amounted to6700,000,000 in value, while the wheat harvest, valuing the product even at 61 a bushel, amounted to only 6450,000,000, and oar iron and steel production is less than 6300,000, 000. All our coal, soft and hard, for the year, was valued at 6100,000,000, while onr wood burned for domestic purposes alone was estimated to be worth more than three times that sum. A writer in the Nashville American, replying to a sermon of the Itev. Bam, Jones, pats in some telling blows oi the reverend crank. We have thought for a long time this gentleman’ moss were not fit specimens of English for refined auditors. For instance, is reported to have said in a sen preached in Nashville, that he wonld rather have his daughter marry Iatto than a man who plays cards.— Mr. Jones is the natural guar'.ian of his own children, bat we are thankful he has no control over the other daugh ters of our land.

Atlanta Constitution. The Supreme Court of Georgia yes terday decided what is popularly known as the Renfroe case. With the main details of this cause celebre readers are familiar. While holding the office of State Treasurer, Mr. John W. Renfroe was impeached for receiv ing and retaining interest on certain moneys belonging to the 8tate. is tried by ths Senate, and the eharg- against him weie not sustained. Under a resolution of the Legisla ture, executions ware issued against the property of Mr. Benfroe’s securities on his two bonds. These were enjoined upon constitutional grounds and the State then proceeded against the securi- the second bond for the amount of interest claimed, with the interest thereon, and ths ronnd sum ot 635,000 in penalties. The defendant and his ■ecnritiea demurred, relying chiefiy up on ths fallowing, points: 1. If any in terest had been received by the treas urer, it was reeeivsd in violation of ths law regulating tbs offioe, and his offi cial bond waa made only to protect the moneys reeeivsd in accordance with the law governing the office. Therefore there could be no liability on the bond. 2. The penalties were imposed person- _, lv on the treasurer, and did not in- live indemnity to the State. There fore, the only liability therefor waa on the treasurer personally, and not an of ficial liability on his official bond. Judge Hammond in the court below iverruled the demurer. Yesterday the Supreme court ravened his decision, sustaining the demurrer on both grounds, Chief -fustics Jackson dissent ing, and Associate Justice Blanford de livering the opinion. The decision of the court will be read with great inter est, as it covers legal point of vital itn- C nce and ends a case, which has occupied the public mind. Beecher on Evolution. Addressing himself to his subject, “Evolution and Revolntion,” Mr. Beecher proceeded to entertain his hear ers with that raciness of speech, and depth of thought for which be is fa- moos. Man’s origin would always be wrapped in myxtety, he said. So was the world’s birth. The so-called Bible theory that the world was created in six days of twenty-four hours each and only six thousand years ago was,ab surd. Ths age of the world probably reached into the millions of years; man waa evolved from a lower animal life, probably a half a million years' age. The story of Adsm and Eve in Eden six thonaand years ego wonld hardly bear ths light of investigation. It was an improbable, unreasonable story. The origin of man is a sensitive point with many peoplo. The weight of scientific belief, especially in Germany, is In favor of the descent of man by evolution. They even point at onr an cestor. They say it waa an apt. Men have pride of ancesfry. They resent this insinuation. What a foolish alarm this is. No matter if ws did de scend from an aps so we deeoended far esongh. The great question is not wha: ws were, bnt what we are and what ws shall be. We are more inter ested intbepreeentand fntnrethan in the past. The real belief of tbe evolu tionist on this point is not that we de scended from the ape, but that away beck yonder in tbe process of evolution from one germ branched out in one di rection tha form of life which became the ape, and in another direction branched out the form of life that be- Atuxxs, Ga^ March 23,1885. Snrrra Rcfcbucax: — Supposing that your readers have rested about long enough, I propose to again tax them lightly with a communication from the “seat of learning,” for besides its importance of an educational centre, itisacityof unparalleled wealth and enterprise, at least, in Georgia. This corporation extends over a territory of three or four square miles and yet its streets are admirably lighted almost to the city’s limits. Resides this the tel ephone system of tbe city is a most perfect one, connecting scores of wires at a central office and thus enabling any one to converse with a friend in any part of the city. This is found to be very convenient as it enables one to transact a great deal of business in any part of the city without leaving home. Information can be gathered or news sent much quicker and cheaper than by any other method. It is used very extensively by business men and Ly various families in ordering goods from the stores, in summoning physi cians and enables a man to know when and where be can find another person without first running all over tbe eity. By far tbs most useful enterprise of Athena, is its superb water-works by which the city is provided with abundant supply of water, the benefits ot which it would be difficult to over estimate. In the summer the dust can b« laid in the streets or yards which adds much to the comfort ot all ; and then as the supply is unlimited, fiowsrs snd vegetables can be watered, with comparatively no labor, as tbe pi in the tower on one of the city' heights is sufficient to force it to a co •iderable distance, and by means rubber hose can be guided in any direc tion. Thus you see comfort and utili ty is blended and combined, form matter of no small importance and ry man is repaid many fold tbe trifling expenditcre necessary to secure this convenience. Bnt even these fall insignificance when we consider its val- ^ie in case of fires. So efficient is il such instances that an ordinary fire can be extinguished readily without the assistance of a fire company. In the six months that I have been here I confident that 6200. will cover all the damages by fire notwithstanding the fact that this is a city mnch larger than Americas and that a fire alarm sounded almost every week. I doubt if there be many cities in the Union the nine of Athens that has oo organ 1 iaed fire company, but here there is ly a volunteer company with nothing to regulate it but the members interest the city. However this is a very ef ficient one and 1 believe, has borne off all the honors for which it has contended. The rate of iusurance it self is insignificant and while is perhaps not exceeding one half that paid by Americas and hundreds of other towns, yet the insurance compa nies evidently make more money here than elsewhere as the premiums though small is that much made, bolieve I told you about the Southern Mutual, which has its principal office here, getting so mnch money on hand that the courts were called tribute it, and they finally compromis ed, paying four lawyers sixteen thou sand dollars each and that too, when they had performed little or no service in the matter. At the University, preparations for commencement have began. Speakers have been appointed and are now study ing to signalise themselves ■tege. In order to add to tbe comfort of visitors and to increase the seating capacity of the cbepel that building is undergoing a complete renovation and I understand improvements wjll be made costing from 65,000 to 60,000. Tbe student! of Mercer University were considerably aroused by a recent reference to them by the writer columns of the Rkpcblicax in connec tion with the anbjeet of “Inter-collegi- "“Debate.” If tbe mere mention of facts thns excite them what wonld be come of them if we were to bring np advantages and substantiate them with the nnqnealionable proof at onr command. The Mercer Clarion, charged upon us all sorts of evil spirit and design when we never dreamed of any unkindness toward any were actuated only by what we deem a merited pride in our University. This all will consider laudable. We are willing to cede to every school in Geor- gia the honor to which its merits enti tles it; and now we challenge them to higher contest than intercollegiate GENERAL GRANT. ms coxomox amoacHixa the fatai cams.

Tbe usual weekly consultation of General Grant’s condition, was held to-day. Doctors Barker, Sands, Shra- dyand Douglas were present. The irritation of tbe nerTes, which had pro duced a train of symptoms which had induced the family to send for the phy sicians last night, had been relieved so that tbe general had a sleep of four hours, from 3 to 7, and naps of more or leas duration daring the morning making seven or eight hoars’ sleep during the last twenty-four.

Plant, of New Fork, capitalist, railroad man and President of the Southern Express Com- pany, was coming down the St. John’ nver from Sanford on the steamer De- i r n' • A^ompanying him were sever al officials of his various companies,in- clndmg Col. F. E. Whitfield, of Mis sissippi, a distinguished public man of that State, and the attorney of Mr. Plant’s corporations. When owing Pnlntkn the party had gathered around the piano in th loon, and Colonel Whitfield, who a voealist of much power, was l ...... Uining with songs the gsy party of lar dies and gentlemen. Suddenly, afte- stnging a plaintive ballad with unnsnal tenderness of expression, he turned, faced his audience, grew pale, tottered in his seat, and without a word fell dead. Hit remains, accompanied by his wife, reached tbe city this evening, and were forwarded for interment to his home in Corinth, Miss. Col. Whitfield was reckoned ne», Mr. Lamar tha moat eloquent man in Mississippi, and the brightest political hopes were entertained for him by his friends. His death is felt keenly by Mr. Plant and the officials of his corporations. Relief from Malarial Poison. For six months past I have been af- feeted with a very serious case of ty phoid malaria, which I contracted on my orange grove in northwestern Flori da. I tried several remedies, but ev erything failed me. Two weeks ago I purchased a bottle of SwiftV Spe cific, which has proved a sure cure for this dreadful malady. I I,ad almost given up hope of ever being well again, for I had tried so many remedies, all of which had failed to do any good. Would to God that all the afflicted people residing in the malarious coun ties of Georgia, Florida and Alabama would read this and try the S. 8. S. instead of dosing themselves with quinine and mineral remedies. I feel it my duty to suffering hnmanity to writ# this certificate, for it may be the SAM. JONES. Rev. Saaa J< large congregation at Nashville, Sun day. In his sermon he used many crisp and quaint illustrations. He said the church members of Nashville sold all the whiskey for many miles around. Church members, wholesale liquor dealers, sell to all the infernal bar rooms in the city. Such church mem bers are the devil’s oldest sons. Whis key is a good thing ia its place, but that place is in hell. Some church members say they drink it for their health, but tbe devil would aa soon they run their fool selves to hell drink ing for their health as any other way. He said if Christ and the devil were running for Mayor of Nashville, he was strongly of the opinion that, if men voted as they lived, the devil wonld beat Christ ten to one. Nashville had ten bar-rooms to one church, and gambling hells, and ten children born to every one that entered the king dom of Christ. “How long” quired, “would it take the goepel to conquer Nashville at that lick?” A* IKDIGNAXT NASHVILLE MAX REPLIES. A wnter ia the Nashville Amen referring to the remarks above made, has this to say; Will yon permit ai not a whiskey relief, horse racer, nor interested in the thea tre, or any of the fashionable pursuits of the day, and is not connected with anyone that is, and who is not a minis ter of any chotch, neither deacon elder, to say a few words in reference to the reported sermons of Rev. Sam Jones, now preaching to crowded booses in this city? I notics the fol lowing: “If a man in Atlanta write to a Nashville firm to send down all the real good men of the city, they would be so few and so light that they wonld be sent by mail with stamp to carry them.” This great apostle turned to Dr. Witherspoon and told him if a line were drawn in his church between the true Christians and those who were not, he wonld not have a hundred mem bera in his chnrch. What chnrch? The grand old Presbyterian church, whose members were 'ever noted for their piety and Cnristian charity. Again, ha says: “The church mem bers of Nashville sold all the whiskey for many miles around.” Is this true or false? If true they ought to be turn ed out of the church; but if false, what ought to be done with a Christian minister who will give utterance I learn that he also said he wonld rather his daughter would marry a mu latto than a man who played cards. 1 am an old man raised a Presbyterian, taught in the Sunday school by tbe honest old Robert H.
