Mer to the Atlanta Herald of
Atlanta, of to run into bankruptcy. I
make these remarks not intending to
apply to any particular enterprise, bat
as a citizen who has paid some attention
to financial questions, and who has an
earnest desire to see the city* prosper.
To say less would not be to deal faith
fully. I have built some houses in At
lanta, *but I do not expect tc build oth
ers till the policy of the city is settled
against contracting a ruinous debt that
wc cannot pay and realize any' profit
from investments in city lots and im
provements. And I beg to assure you
that I am not singular in this position.
Other gentlemen w ho have made your
largest and most valuable improvements
tell me th<^ have determined to act on
the same line of policy. This policy
will be adopted because investments so
heavily taxed will not pay.
Depreciation in Values.
The theory of depreciation in values,
both monetary and moral, as proposed
by Senator Bayard of Delaware—a gen
tleman as high-toned as thepre.ux Chev
alier, whose name he worthily wears—
is thus curiously illustrated in a West
ern exchange:
Senator Bayard attributes much of
the present low-toned political morality
to a depreciated currency. There is a
great deal of truth in what he says.
The very quantity of this trash which
it takes to buy a Christian statesman
renders him liable to exposure. If the
bulk were only diminished and the in
trinsic value increased, the Christian
statesman could simply “pocket” the
amount, and thus avoid the risk he nec
essarily runs in carting it home in a
wheelbarrow.
Lying in State-
Apropos of Napoleon's body lying in
state an Knglish antiquary writes:
“In tlie year 1 183 the body of Ed
ward IV. was exposed bare from the
wai?t up, to show that he had not died
by fotd means, in the palace at West
minister. and was visited by the Mayor
of Loud*m and many other persons.
The body of Henry VII. lay in state at
Richmond, as did that of Queen Eliza
beth ; but wax effigies in armor repre
sented James I. and Oliver Cromwell.

What Henry Ward Beecher Knows
About “Cheek
Slang and psalmody alternate in
Brother Beecher’s outporings—by cour
tesy called sermons—to his Brooklyn
congregation. But he often says good
things, and frequently true ones. No
man understand' better than he the
American Man of the Period—or man
ages him better—combining as he does
with rare felicity the Worship of God
and Mammon Here is one of the la
test of his sayings:
That a poor man with plenty of

modest man with $50,000.
man ought to know better than
Brother Beecher, who is equally re
markable for the abundance of his
“cheek” as for the boundlessness of his
“jaw.” It would be as difficult to meas
ure the bounds of bis impudence as of
his loquacity. ills modesty is an un-
known quantity.
the South. They have never done one
thing to us in a spirit of hate orrevenge
—oh, no, not they. Their motive was
only to save the life of tfie nation—pre
serve the fruits of the war, etc. W*hen
they freed the negroes and afterwards
installed them in Jewer by virtue of
the thrice infamotis reconstruction laws,
with full swing to oppress, and steal and
bedevil us almost to the verge of forci
ble resistance, it was all without a parti
cle of malice or revenge. They loved
us, and therefore chastened us. Since
the world began there never been
such an exhibition of s&Rge exultation
and venom, disguised or sought to be
disguised, in such a loathsome mass of
sickening cant and hypocrisy as these
people have manifested in their dealings
with us since the war. Some fat witted
folks have been deceived by it, but it is
a sweet comfort to know that the num
ber was small, and that even they have
dwindled down to almost nothing. The
Southern people, as a mass, have steadi
ly refused to feed on this flapdoodle in
the face of the countless and premedi
tated insults aid outrages which, almost
daily for years, they have been compell
ed to endure.
For holding and uttering, with re
gard to the North, just such sentiments
as Iloyt and Garrison proclaim towards
us, we have been blistered with the re
proaches and abuse of Massachusetts es
pecially, but we have yet to hear one
word even of remonstrance from Mas
sachusetts or Northern Radical papers,
against the same thing in their own
people. What a consolation it is, how
ever, to reflect that two can play at this
game to the end of time, and that our
boys are as quick to learn and as slow
to forget as those of Massachusetts, or
any other rebel hating State. Thank
Heaven thought is still free, and no leg
islation even Radical hate can devise,
can prevent our cherishing such memo
ries of our oppressions and their perpe
trators as we like. Hoyt, Garrison and
their sympathizers are doubtless good
haters and will stand by their determi
nation, but we can match them dpwn
here. Let ’em rip then.— Tel. <t-

in favor of honesty, wljich is much
needed. Let those who lured to vote
for legalizing the robbery be the only
ones to take the plunder."

Massachusetts Feelings Towards the
South
Before the Committee of the Massa
chusetts Legislature, which is consider-
the proposal to expunge the rcsolu
tion of censure on record against 8ena
tor Sumner, on his resolutions to erast
from the battle^ flags all emblems of the
late war, a number of bitter speeches
were made. Among them was M
Hoyt, the originator of the resolution
of censure, who declared his intention
never to forgive the South, and to teach
his boy lb# same lesson of perpetual
hatred. William Loyd Garrison follow
ed in a long arraignment of Mr. >um-
ner for his leniency towards the rebels,
and seemed especially disturbed because
the Senator had called them “fel’
citizens,” when he should have said
“rebels or traitors.” He regretted to
hear so few references to “rebellion’
and “treason,'' and lamented the ten
dency to forget and forgive the past
things which never ought to be done.
Perpetual hatred for the Svuth was Mr.
Garrison's sL.ndsrd of loyalty and pa
triotism. and upon this h. rang tbe
changes with fanatical real.-.Baltimore

;uing against restricting the price of
uioney^ as prejudicial to the best inter
ests of the people, the Norfolk Virginian
cites the policy adopted by our own
Legislature in reference to the question
of usury as an example worthy of imita
tion. The editor says : “Just now we
may turn with advantage to Georgia.
That great commonwealth, which boasts
itself the Empire State of the Soflth,
has just repealed its usury laws, and un
der circumstances which should give us
pause here in Virginia before we move
the opposite direction. Georgia as
pires, and not without reason,'to become
rent manufacturing State; to advance
this object she proclaims free trade in
money. Georgia is attempting to secure
ater line connecting Savannah with
the North-west, and has called the cot-
Statcs to meet her iu convention
secure this end; to advance this object
she proclaims free trade in money and
bandons the preposterous theories of a
bygone age. Georgia is endeavoring to
establish direct trade with Europe, and
with euergy and emphasis in this
direction. To aid in securing this she
has wisely abolished her usury laws.”

EXTRA EARLY THIRTY TWO
ROWED CORN.
It is a genuine 32 row**! sweet tern grow
ing fmm 10 to 13 feet in height. Lapt year
planted the first of May;_ it was sold in the
market July, 23d, (84 days.) A latcrplant-
ing was ready in 76 days.
ITS CLAIMS
1st, It will produce more Corn to the
Acre with the same cultivation and in any
ruff -variety of soil.
2nd, It has a greater depth of kernel than
any horse-tooth variety.
3rd, It has a smaller cob than any 32
rowed variety.
4th, It weighs 6o lbs. to the bushel, sealed
measure.
5th, It fills better at both encis than any
other corn..
6th, It is a solid white transparent corn
with white cob.
7th, It grows more vigorous and ripens its
whole crop earlier than any of the other
large field varieties in America.
8th, It makes better meal, being sweeter
and richer.
9th, It beqrs more foliage which makes
more feed.
10th, It can be planted on land from which
wheat has been harvested, or from which po
tatoes have been dug ; fully before frost.
11th, The spikes shoot out within four
feet of the ground, consequently the crop is
not liable to be prostrated by high winds.
It is likewise easier to gather.
12th, It bears more full grown ears of
corn on each stalk than any other field va
riety.
I3th, The tap roots penetrating the sub
soil to a very great depth it will stand ~—
drouth better tim
other variety of
14th, It can be successfully grown in any
State.
We give the most satisfactory references
that the corn is, in every respect, what wc
represent it to be; and further, we are the
only persons throughout the country who
have introduced this variety of corn. Hav
ing a quantity, wc are now able to fill all or-
grlO;sfor those desirous of testing it. Last

Although France may be likened to
a ‘ gentleman in difficulties," bearing
the burthen of the heaviest national
debt in the world, and still having to
pay up the considerable balance due to
Germany as indemnity, her commerce
appears to be steadily on the increase.
f The official return from the customs
department shows that tbe total value
of merchandise imported during the
Tear 1872 was 3,447 million francs,
inmiust 3,393 millions in 1871, and that
the total value of exports in 1872 amount
ed to 3,679 millions of francs against
2,865 millions in 1871- The total rev
enue derived from indirect taxes during
1872 was 740 million francs, against
594 millions in 1871. These, all things
considered, are very remarkable results.

day in May, next, 1878. offer and expose for
sale before the court house doy in the city
of Bainbridge, county of Decatur, and State
of Georgia, within the legal hours for sheriff-
sales, to the highest and best bidder the
Bainbridge, Cutbbert and Columbus
Railroad,
extending from the city of Bainbridge tatha
city of Columbus, in the State of Georgia, a
distance of 110 miles, together vrith all of its
Right of Way, real estate, cross ties, bridging
and every species of property and right of
property, both real nnd personal belonging
to the companj^vit^M of its
FranchiseyAd Privileges.
The road is nea^B^aded from Bainbridge

over this road via Bainbridge to Savannah
and Brunswick to the Atlantic Ocean.
. THE CHARTER
Also extends from Bainbridge to the Florida
line in the direction of Tallahassee, and the
list of bona fide subscriptions, considered
