FARROTT Cartersville, Aug. 4th. 1m [From the Atlan'a Intelli gcncer.] The followin'* in portavnt opinion ad dressed by Attorney Gene a! H. P. arrow, to Governor Ball >< k, on the tame of holding elections f»r county odicers, las teen, handel to us for publication. AYe inv fe tto attention of our readers to it:—Atlanta Intel Attorney General’s Os -ice, ) Atlanta, Ga., August 7, 1 Still. ) Governor—Your communication cf the 31st ultimo, with the enclosed pa pers, came duly to hand; and I have given them that consideration which the importance of the question presen ted, demands. Ihe question submitted, and upon which yon ask for my written opinion, is one which has been propounded to me by n number of county officers who were not, under the law, entitled to the opinions of the Attorney General, aud to whom I did not therefore feel at liberty to render any o inion. There j is great difference of opinion among the people as to when the next el :ction for county officers will take place, and it is very proper that the question should be authoritatively answered and put at rest. The Constitution itself, and not the Code, determines the term for which county officers have been elected; and those who insist that the election for county officers will take place next winter, betray great ignorance of the Constitution upon which they have so recently voted. The 9t,li Article of the Constitution says: “The county officers recognized as existing by the laws of this State, and not abolished by this Constitution shall, where not otherwise provided for in this Constitution, be elected by the qualified voters of their respective counties or districts, and shell hold their offices for two years.” Therefore, it is clear that by virtue of the Bth Article of the Constitution, county officers will hold their offices for two years unless it is otherwise provided for in the constitution. Does the constitution otherwise provide? and if so to what extent ? It does oth erwise provide in the case of every county officer elected in the election which commenced on the 20 h day of April 1868. That election was held under and by virtue of an ordinance adopted by the Constitutional Conven tion on the 10th of March 1808; and all civil officers elected under the Con stitution, by the people, were then elected, except Justices of the Peace. That ordinance provides that all of ficers elected at that time shall “ hold their offices as though they were elected on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1868,” and it moreover provides that they “ shall continue in office until the regular succession provided for after the year 1868, and until successors are elected and qualified.” The Constitulion itself affirms the validity of that ordinance and gives it all the force and power to be derived from a Constitution, —lienee the present county officers will hold their offices for more than two years from the time they was elected, but after the first regular succession such officers will only hold for two years—except in cases where the Constitution fixes a different term, as in the case of the office of Ordinary which is for 4 years. Those who contend that the old election laws contained in the Code, and found from Section 1345 to 1350 inclusive, are still of force and must control the next election for county officers, and bring on the election very near one year before the offices can possibly become vacant, should remem ber that all our laws governing elec tions were rendered inoperative, obsolet null and void by the Preconstruction, laws and our Constitution. If these sections of the code are of force now, of course they have been of force all the time since they were first made a part of our law. If they were of force at the time of the election on the 20th of April, 1868, then it follows that there has been no election of county officers under the Reconstruction Laws. If that election was not valid, then the whole Reconstruction of the Southern States was without authority or law. If, on the other hand, it is admitted . that the present incumbent? were le gally elected, then it follows that the Reconstruction Laws and the Consti tution prevail over the said sections of the code, am] that at that time those sections were superseded, obsolete and void. If they were void, then what has since re-enacted them ? They were in oprative and void then, and are to this day; for when a law is once annulled it is annulled forever, and can only exist again by re-enactment; if it had been the purpose of the framers of the Constitu tion, who also framed this ordinance, to recognize these sections of the Code as still of force, why would they have disregarded them in the last election ? There can be no doubt that under the changes wrought by the reconstruction laws, and the new Constitution, those sections of the Code, under which it is contended by some, the election for all county officers should be held in next January, are entirely obsolete, and that the general assembly must provide for an electiou and succession, just as it has in the case of Justices of the Peace, before any election can be held for the county officers. If there should be no provision made by the General Assem bly at its next meeting for an election, and regular succession, then by virtue of that Provision of the Constitution which provides that they shall hold till their successors are elected and quali fied, they would continue in office until the next general assembly could make provisions for an election. Therefore it is my opinion that there is, at this time, no laws regulating the time for the election of county officers, and that before any election can be held there roust I>e further legislation. I am Very Respectfully, Henry P. Farrow, Attorney General. His Excellency Rufus B. Bullock, Gov ernon of Georgia. ISO It ROW I\U. ‘Mr iVnr.’ said Mrs. Green to her husband one day, ‘the meal which vre bor rowed from Mr. Black a few days ng< is almost out, and we mu >t bake to morrow.” “Well said her husband, ‘send end borrow a half-bushel at Mr. Whites';, he sent to mill yesterday.’ ‘And when it comes shall we return ! the peck we borrowed more than i month ago from the widow Grey V ‘No,’ said the husband, grullly, ‘ h can send for it when she wants it.— j Sam, do you go down to Mr. BrownV and ask him to land me his axe to chop some wood this forenoon; ours is thill, 1 and I saw him grind his last night.— And Jim, do you go to Mr. Clark’s aid ask him to lend me a hammer; and do you hear ? you might as well borrow a few nails while you are about it. A little boy enters and says, ‘Father \ sent me to ask if you had done with his hoe, which you borrowed a week ago last Wednesday; lie wants to use , it.’ ‘Wants his hoc, child? What ermhe want with it ? I have not done with it yet; but if he wants it, I suppose he must have it. Tell him to send it back, though, as soon as he can spare it.’ They sat down to breakfast. ‘O mercy!’ exclaims Mrs. Green, there is not a particle of butter in the house. Sam, run over to Mrs. Notable’s— she always has excellent butter in her dairy—and ask he to lend me a plate full.’ After a few minutes, Sam returns: ‘Mrs, Notable says she has sent you I the butter, but begs you to remember that she has already lent you 79 plates full, which are scored on the dairy door.’ ‘Seventy-nine platas.'ul,’ exclaimed the astonished Mrs. Green, holding up both hands. ‘lt is no Vuch a thing; I never had half that quantity; and if I had, what is a little platefnll? I should never think of keeping an account of such trilling things; I declare I have a mind never to borrow any thing from that mean creature again as long as I live. A Crowned Corpse. A letter from Cracow gives the fol owing details in connection with the ate discovery of the remains of Casi mir the Great in that city: That King expired on the sth day of November, 137 and bis body was de posited in the cathedral of Cracow, and a colossal mouument was erected to his memory. JN o one supposed that the remains of the deceased monarch could be found in the Church itself, because, according to ecclesiastical traditions, saints alone could be buried in the sa cred edifice, aud all hope had been renounced of ever discovering the re mains. Lately the restoration of the monument, which had begun to decay under - the action of centuries, was com menced, and some blows on tlie front part of the base brought the missing remains to light: two tiles fell, and a light inserted iu the opening showed the crown and scepti c, and in the form er the skull of the King. By enlarging the aparture some few bones enveloped in purple cloth, very well preserved, were discovered. An ex animation then made o n the opposite side of the tomb, and at the feet of the skeleton were found the spurs in a per fect state and attached by leather straps The sceptre and globe are in silver, and the crown and spurs in copper gilt and ornamented with precious-stones. The skull is of remarkable size. Notn trace remains of the' coffin except tin iron bars which strengthened it, and to which the purple cloth had been at tached. Five hundred years have to tally devoured the wood.

Rich Without Money. —Many a man is rich without money. Thousands of men with nothing in their pockets, and thousands even without a pocket, are i rich. A man born with a sound con stitution, a good stomach, a good heart and good limbs, and a pretty good head-piece, is rich. Good bones are better than gold, tough muscles than silver, and nerves that flash fire and carry energy to every function are bet ter than houses and lands. It is bet ter than a land estate to have had the right kind, of father and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds exist among men as really as among herds and hors es, Education may do much good to check evil tendencies or to develop good ones, but it is a grfeat thing to in herit the right proportion of faculties to begin with. The man is rich who has a good disposition—who is natur ally kind, patient, cheerful, and who has a flavor of wit in his composition. The hardest thing to get along with in this life, is a man’s own self. A cross, selfish fellow, a desponding and com | plaining fellow, a timid,care-bmdened man— these all arc born deformed on , the inside. Tlieir feet may not Lmp, but their thoughts do. A gentleman called on a rich raiser j and found him at the table endeavor ing to catah a fly- Presently he caught one which he immediately put in the sugar bowl, and shut, down the cover. The gentleman asked for an explana tion of this singular spoil. 1 \\i,l teh you,” replied the miser, a triumphant grin’ overspreading his countenance as he spoke, “I want to ascertain if the servants steal the sugar.” It cost just S2OB to try a negro at Columbus Georgia, for stealing a chick en valued at 37 cents.

A Fanny Simla at a ! l Ilia HAigiou* Faiths. —A gentleman traveling in Texas, met on the road a wagon drawn by four oxen, driven by a countryman, who, in ad dition to the skilfui flomisli and crack of the whip, was vociferously encour aging his horned horses, after this fashion: “Haw, Presbyh rinn!” “Gee, Baptist!” “Whoah, Episcopalian!”— “Get up, Methodist!” Tl \j traveler stopped the driver, remarking to him that he had Grange names for his ox en, and would hkc to know why he thus called them. Said the driver:— “I call this ox Presbyterian, because he is true blue and never fails, pulls through all ditlk'.uTies and holds out to the end; besides he knows more than all the rest. 1 call this Baptist, because he is always after water, and seem as though he’d never drink enough; then again lie won’t eat with the others. I Call this ox Episcopalian, because he has a mighty v;;.y of hom ing his head up, and if the yoke gets a little too tight, ho tries to kick and draw clear out of the track. I call this ox Moth- di t, because he puff's, aid blows, and bellows, as lie goes along, and you'd think he was pulling all cre ation, but he don’t pull a pound unless you continually stir him up. ’ A Pretty Simile. —As bees breed no poison, though they sack the deadli e.t juices, so the noble mind, though forced to drink the cup of misery, can yield but generous thoughts and noble deeds. A Most IhufctiFcn Hand.—T w o charming women one day were dis cussing what it is which Constitutes beauty in the hand. They differed in opinions as much as the shape of the beautiful member whose m< rits they | were discussing. A gentleman friend t presented himself, and by common 1 consent the question was referred to 1 him. It was a delicate matter. He I thought of Paris and the three God dcses. Glancing from r.ne to the oth er of the beautiful white hands pre sented for his examination, he replied at last, “I give it up; the question is too hard for me.” But ask tho poor, and they will toll you the most beauti ful hand in the world is the hand that gives —Moore’s Rural.

How fancy loves to wander hack and paint upon the ever green canvass of our maids the treasured scenes of long ago, and bring again the scenes of those cherished ones that made, with their bright presence, the sunlight of our ch'ldhood’s home. Methii.ks I sec it now-'&iluit rural cottage by the w lyside* with its wealth of evergreens—the clinging Vitus tbut deck the old piazza’s front, where the humming bird fluttered all Hie day and sipped the fragrance of its flowers,ever and anon pausing to catch the sound of a distant tread, th n darting off to wait the coming silence. How often, too, I’ve sat me down to watch the parting rays of the sun, us slowly he drop, e beneath the weste n horizon, eaving .aint gleans of crim son light upon the platform near Un gate. It was there pure thoughts f heaven over me came with woudro s power, and caused my heart to pour upon the balniv summer’s air its son<v S of pr .ire to 1 ira w o nil r on high for die glorious guts of nature: for who can look unmoved upon its beauties— without raising the voice in linens of j>y to nature’s God. Sad, indeed, must be the heart that finds not within its depths an an w ring s ng to its ever varying charms, beautiful, supremely beautiful, in all its phases. It was nature that taught my lyre to warble strains of joy while sweetly clothed in her fresh and verdant robes; vmd, when “ the sear and yellow leaf” did come, it breathed those note* which tell of “blighted love”—of hearts grown old ere the autumn of their days: those who amid the din and pageantry of a city life hath made their homes know naught of the affection which we asso ciate with the lovely country one, for beauties there are, rich and grand, that dwell among the waving pines and sturdy oaks, to fill the rapturous dre; ms that “ye, proud reveler in the country hall,” know not of. ‘Taylor .log.’ Dr. Tyng met an emigrant family going W est. On one of the wagons here hung a jug with the bottom knocked out. “What is that, ?” asked the doctor. “Why, it is my T.ylor jug,” said the man. “And what is n Taylor jug?” asked the doctor aga n. “1 had a son in Gen. Taylor’s army in Mexico, and the General always told him to carry his whisky jug with a hole in the bottom, and that’ i it. It is the best invention I ever met with for hard drinkers.” Unfortunately a good many keep the bottom in their jugs, and apply the Taylor invention to their stomachs. ‘Paissell,’ who is writing letters to tho Boston Traveler from the battle field* A the South, furnishes the following intelligent view of negro sentiment to ward the coming Chinese: When we were at Corinth, Miss., the question of introducing Chinese labor and driving out the negroes, was agi tated by the planters.
