Printer’s Rules. —The following
rules phould be strictly observed by
person f, having occasion to visit a
printing office:
1. Enter softly.
2 Sit down quietly.
3. Subscribe for the paper.
4. Pay for it in advance.
5. Don’t touch the type.
(>. Keep six feet from the devil.
7. Don’t talk to the compositors.
8. Hands off manuscript.
0. Don’t carry off the exchanges.
10. Never beg a paper.
Gentlemen observing these rules
wlvpn entering the office will greatly
oblige the editor, and not fear the
devil.
Ladies who sometimes bless us for
a few minutes with their presence are
not expected to keep these rules strict
ly.
Bows unaccompanied by their fath
ers are requested to keep their pock
ets and mouth shut. Girls are ex
empt from this rule.
The Local Paper.
All intelligent persons admit the im
portance of a good local paper. Such
a journal is worth fifty to a hundred
dollars to every commercial man in
the town in which it is published, even
if he never puts an advertisement in it.
If he is a judicious advertiser, it is
worth still more to him. It is the lo
cal paper that does more than any
one interest in building up a town.—
If a good, one, every citizen is indebt
ed to it. But the local paper must be
supported either at home or from
abroad by advertising patronage. The
subscriptions are insignificant in the
support of a paper, only to make it a
good advertising medium.
If the local merchants do not sup
port it, it must draw its support from
abroach The more of its patronage
it is forced to get abroad from enter
prising advertisers, the more business
is drawn from the community in which
it is published. The best thing, there
fore, a community can do is to sustain
then' local paper, and not to force it to
seek advertising patronage from for
eign merchants who seek trade at the
expense of the local merchants.
Merchants and business men ought
to be sagacious enough to see these
points, and act accordingly. Sustain
the local paper liberally, but judicious
ly, an< ! n °t force it to seek patronage
from more enterprising men abroad.
I».e more foreign advertisements ap
pear in the local paper, the more the
trade of such towns will be attracted
to enterprising business houses abroad.
Business men too often fail to see
their own interests in their disposition
to be a “penny wise and a pound fool
ish.”—La Orange Reporter.
Governor Smith and the Land
Scrip of Georgia—A Full State
ment of the Case.
Editors Atlanta Constitution: —By
an act, approved July 2, 1862, -Cou -
gress granted to the several States an
amount of public land, to be appor*
tioned to each State in quality equal
to 30,000 acres for Senator and Repre
sentative in Congres to which the
States #re respectively entitelj by
apportionment under the census of
1860. Under this act, the proportion
due to Georgia was 270,000 acres.
By the terms of the grant, tin fund
is to remain undiminished forever, and
the interset must be inviolably appro
priated to the endowment, suppor 1
and maintainance of at least one col
lege to bo established within five years
after the date ot this act ; but by a
subsequent act, further time was given
until the 2nd day of July, 1872, to the
States which had not accepted under
this act. The leading object of this
was declared to be, without excluding
other scientific and classical studies,
to teach such branches of learning as
are related to agriculture and the me
chanic arts, in such manner as the
Legislature may prescribe, in order
to promote the liberality and practi
cal education of the industrial classes
in the several pursuits and professions
of life. By a subsequent section of
Congress, an exception is made, which
allows a sum not exceeding ten pjjr
centum of the fund to be expended in
the purchase of lands for sites, or ex
perimentM farms, whenever authorized
by the Legislature of the State ; but
this is coupled with an inhibition
against the appropriation of any part
of the fund to the purchase, erection
or repairs of any building or build
ings.
By an act of the Legislature of Geor
gia, approved March 10th, 1866, the
State accepted her portion of the land
scrip. By a subsequent act, approved
December 12th, 1866, the Governor
was authorized to apply for, receive
and sell these lands and scrip, and to
invest as he might deem besC the
proceeds of said sale or sales, in the
bonds of this State, and disburse the
interest of the investment in support
and maintainance of a college as con
templated by the act of Congress.—
He was further authorized to provide
rules and regulations for the organiza
tion, government and operation of said
college until the next ensuing session
of the Qcpeval Assembly, and to do
and perform all other such acts as
might be necessary and proper to se
cure to the State the full benefits
contemplated by the act of Congress.
During Acting Governor Conley’s
brief administration he obtained the
said Ignd scrip under the provisions
of the foregoing act, and sold it for
$243,030-30,000 cash and the balance
on eighteen months credit. Such is
the condition in which Governor Smith
found this scrip interest of the State.
He knew that unless a college was
organized and put into full operation
by the 2d day of July next, the pro
needs of this scrip would be forfeited
to the General Government.
The writer of this article has never
conversed with Governor Smith upon
the subject embraced, and does not
know hi3 reasons for giving the pro
ceeds of the sale of this scrip co the
State University; bus he feels well as
sured that in doing so the Governor
has acted with the prudence of wisdom
and to the best intents of the agricul
tural and mechanical portion of the
State.
There is no doubt that the actions
of other States upon this subject were
fully and thoroughly investigated be
fore any steps were taken in flie mat
ter, for Governor Smith does not act
hastily or rashly, but always thought
fully, and after due deliberation, look
ing to the interest and common wel
fare of the people of his native State.
lie doubtless saw the action of the
great State of blew York on the agri
cultural land scrip. If so he found
that the Legislature gave this scrip to
the State Agricultural Society, who
held it near eighteen months, and af
ter a vain attempt to establish an agri
cultural college, returns it to the State.
It was then given to the Cornell Uni
versity at Ithica, under the auspices
of which its investment lias proved
successful beyond the most sanguine
expectation of the warmest anticipa
tions of its beneficial results.
In Kentucky, where this scrip was
given to the State University, near
Lexington, he could see that the most
extensive mechanical and manufactur
ing shops to be found in the AYest,
ave carried on and operated by the
students of the University, and under
these auspicies are manufactured the
best and most approved patterns of
mechanical and agricultural imple
merits, such as have given precedence
to this country as one of invention
and progress. These implements scat
tered throughout the North and South
tell truly of the advantages that have
arisen from, the placing of the scrip
funds in the hands of a university.—
In addition to these manufactures,
there is successfully managed, near
the same place, a large and fine experi
mental farm, once the home of Ken
tucky’s learned son, Henry Clay.
The Missouri State University, too,
was the recipient of this endorsement
of land scrip, aud is to-day standing
proudly among the peerage of such
institutions, the wealth and honor of
whose States spring from agricultural
-and mechanical pursuits. In this con
nection, it may'not be out of place to
mention that in all but three excep
tions, the colleges or universities of the
States have received tho benefits of
this agricultural landscrip provided for
by the act of Congress as referred to.
Under these ciroumstauces Goverr
nor Smith has undoubtedly performed
this public duty, due from him to the
people of Georgia, without in the least
way consulting his own personal feel
ings. As the Chief Executive of the
State he has taken into consideration
the advantages arising from making
the disposition he hgs of the land scrip,
and we can easily conceive the great
and lasting benefits arising from this
action, The State University, already
grandly eloquent in its history of
achievements, ishail, with this endow
ment and its new advantages, yet be
come the Mecca to which the eyes of
genius and labor will not look in vain,
and from which the pilgrim scholar
shall turn away laden with the just
award of its beneficence
In this country, Agricultural Col
leges are, as yet, experiments; yet,
with ex-Gov. Charles J. Jenkins as
President of the distinguished Board
of Trustees, and Chancellor Lipscomb
at the head of an able and learned
Faculty, what may we not expect but
the full realization of all that Governor
Smith had anticipated and striven for
in his disposition of the land scrip of
the State. Agricultural.

Carroll Superior Court.
We attended the April Term of
Carroll Superior Court. During our
trip to Carrollton we observed closely
the indications of thrift and improve
ment along the line qf railway now
building. Soon after crossing the
Chattahoochee, we arrived at Gilbert’s
Cross Roads, and were greatly sur
prised to witness so man# evidences
of a rising town. If the name were
changed, and enterprising men should
“ take hold," a town on this spot ex
ceeding the present dimensions of the
county town would soon he a reality.
From this point to Carrollton new
houses are being built, and every
thing the traveler sees shows the peo
ple are wide awake, and the railroad
is calling into life more than ordinary
energy and activity.
Carrollton, too, knows the iron horse
is coming. The citizens are building
new houses painting and enlarging old
ones, and placing over the entrances
to their business houses attractive
signs. In other words Carrollton is
becoming a city, for as we heard re
marked, she has already three things
always found in a city, and seldom
seen elsewhere ; a printing press, a
German merchant and an abundance
of mud. By-the by, she has cause to
be proud of the first and second. Her
Times is a live paper, conducted with
skill and energy, and merits a liberal
support at the hands of business men
and others ; the merchant referred to
is a gentleman of enterprise, and ac
quisition to any community; her mud,
however, is very common. We should
mention in this connection that mine
host of the Carrollton Hotel, Air. A.
J. Daniel, is the right man in the right
place. He is one of the very few men
who know how to keep hotel.
To sum up in a few words, Carroll
county is progressing, and ere long
will be one of the most populous and
wealthy counties in the State.
Court was held by the Judge of the
Circuit No very important questions
of law were settled, yet every case
ready for trial was tried by Thursday
evening, when Court adjourned.
One decision made by His Honor
may be of some public interest : The
Ordinary of the county refused to pay
John H. Caldwell, Judge of the late
Senatorial Court, the portion of his
salary due by Carroll county. At the
instance of Air. Caldwell, the Ordi
nary was served with a Jtfcmdanius,
The Ordinary answered and gave as
c&uscj for his refusal to order the sal
ary of Caldwell paid—
Ist. AYantof consideration. Cold
well held no courts.
2nd. The act creating the Court
was passed more than forty days after
the first day of the session of the Leg
islature, which had not been prolong
ed by a two-thirds vote of each house
judge AY right held—
-Ist That the first could not be
pleaded in a case like the present.
2nd. That the question involved in
the second was one of oath and con
science with the Legislature, aud not
a question for the Courts.
The Ordinary was directed to order
the salary paid.
Union Republican Meeting in
Carroll.
In accordance with previous notice,
a portion of4ho Union Republican
party of this county met-in the Court
House. Ou motion H. W, McDaniel
was called to the Chair, and Michael
Good son requested to act an Secretary.
Judge W. B. Bracewell, being call
ed upon, explained the object of the
meeting briefly and appropriately.
Whereupon, the following resolutions
were offered by B. M. Long, and
unanimously adopted, viz :
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the administration of General Grant,
in the enforcement ©f the laws, the
faithful collection of the revenues, the
discharge from office of all sinecures,
and the consequent reduction of tfie
public debt, of about 300 millions
dollars, in three years; and at the same
time reducing the internal taxes eighty
millions per annum. By opposing
repudiation in all its forms; thereby
restoring the national credit. All of
which have resulted in a degree of
prosperity to the people, hitherto un_
paralleled by any former administra
tion. We therefore favor his renomi
nation, and election to the high
oflioe he now holds.
Resolved, That we recognize, and
approve the great principles of the
National Union Republican party, as
embodying all that is worth preserv
ing of the late Whig and Democratic
parties. Chief among which are:
1. “ Protection of person and prop
erty is the paramount duty of all Gov
ermnents, and in consideration of
which paramount allegiance is due
from every citizen to the general Gov
ernment.” Lecce, we approve of the
late laws of Congress, for the snppres
fion of violence, and the protection of
the citizens in any part of the United
States,
2. “ A tariff for Revenue, .gffording
incidental protection to home manu
factories)” and especially do wp need
such protection in the Southern States,
under our changed condition, for the
purpose of building manufactories in
our midst, and diversifying labor
which will thereby elevate, and dig
nify the laboring classes, and advance
our National prosperity.
3. “ The distribution of the proceeds
of the publie lands, among tli£ several
States, for the purpose alone of estab
i shiny, and supporting a general system
ot free schools,” as advocated by the
great departed Statesmen, Clay, Web
ster and others.
We qlso think that the strictest
economy should be observed in the
administration of our St#te affairs, by
reducing the salaries of officers, and
other employees, to the .lowest possi
ble standard; thereby the better to
enable the Legislature to make the
necessary appropriations for school
purposes, believing as we do, that un
less such reduction is made the people
will be unwiling to bear the taxaton
necessary to support such high sala
ries; pay the public debt, and sus
tain an efficient system of common
schools, now still more necessary, by
the large increase of indigent children,
made so by the casualties of the late
\yar.
4. “ Internal improvement by the
general Government,” in order to de
velop her great National resources,
strengthen her commercial and mitita
jy power in time of war.
Resolved, That we approve of the
present system of National Banking,
affording, as it does, a safe and uni
form currency to the people in all parts
of the country, and tending to strength
en the general Government, and weak
ening that pernicious doctrine, called
“ State Sovereignty,” which has
heretofore caused so much trouble and
suffering to our people.
Resolved, That we favor an honest,
faithful and economical administration
of Government, both State and Feder
al. Holding all officials and em ploy ces
to a strict accountability, meting out
condign punishment to such as may be
guilty of embezzlement, defalcation or
other malfeasence in office, regardless
of party name, or profession. With
this view, we favor a thorough inves
tigation of the alleged frauds of our
late officials, and others, and think
that such of them as have left the State,
should at once return, and vindicate
themselves against the charges.
Otherwise, they will, and should be
regarded as guilty.
Resofotd, That we consider the late
action of our Legislature, in suspend
ing the payment of interest on all
bonds of the State, not presented
within a given time, as unwise, and
unjust to holders, and smacking too
strongly of repudiation, which neces
sarialy had the effect to nearly rain
the credit of our great State.
The following named persons were,
appointed to represent our county in
the ITniop Republican Convention, to
be held in Macon, on the Bth day of
May next:
B. M. Long, W. W. Merrell, R. T.
McCurdy, A. H. Harrison, Dr. John
Costin, S. T. Sims, J. R. Thomason,
& H. W. McDaniel and George West.
The following resolution was offered
by Judge Bracewell, and unanimously
adopted:
Resolved , That we recommend to
the favorable consideration of our par
ty, the “Atlanta Whig,” and the
“American Union,” at "Macon, and
think they should receive the liberal
supportof our party.
Resolved, That the Secretary fur
nish a copy of these proceedings to
the Atlanta Whig, American Union
and the Carroll County Times, with
a request to publish. The meetino
then adjourned. *’ '■■■s

that it is almost impossible for an edi
tor to exm ess his honest opinion of the
merits of any article without being
suspected of interested motives. This
fapt, however, shall not deter y,s from
saying what Aye think of anew addi
tion to the Materia Medica to which
our attention has been recently direc
ted. We refer to Dr. J. Walker’s
California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy
which is making its way into more
families just now than all the other
advertised medicines put together.—
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and alterative
properties, while it possesses thegreat
negative recommendation of contain
ing neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is a specific for Indigestion,
Biiliousaess, Constipation, and many
complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know; and we are assured
on good authority that as a general
invigo/anl. regulating and purifying
medicine, it has no equal. It is stated
that its ingredients, (obtained /rom
the wilds of California,) are new to
the medical world; and its extraordi
nary effects certainly warrant the
conclusion that it is a compound
of agents hitherto unknown. If pop
ularity is any criterion, there can be
no doubt of the efficiency of the Vin
egar Bitters, for the sale of the article
is immense and continually increas
ing. 4w
