Young introduced in on the tenth, the memorial of the Mayor and citizens of Atlanta, Geor gia for an appropriation for public buildings, and also a proposed plan for said buildings. Senator Norwood —This gentle man is making reputation. The ltichmond Dispatch thus speaks of him: “ Mr. Norwood is making him- Ht*lf a name in the United States Sen ate. lie discussed the Sumner amend ment to the amnesty hill with distin guished ability.” The Ways and Means Committee have decided that the Income Tax for the present year shall he collected as heretofore, the Commission of In ternal Revenue distributing the ne cessary blanks. The Juaristssuy that Grant must act promptly if he intends to help Juarez. The revolutionists in arms are estimated at 80,000. Gov. Harrison Reed, of Florida, has Ixjen impeached. That is a God wind to Florida. Juarez is gradually assuming the Dictatorship, it is reported that Jurarez has applied to Grant for assistance, and that Grant replied he would support Juarez as a last al ternative. General Young offered a resolution instruting the Judiciary Committee to report a hill removing political disabilities from all who had applied for the same. —The resolution was adopted. A resolution instructing the Com mittee of Ways and Means of the i louse of Representatives to report a bill repealing the tariff on tea and coffee was adopted by a vote of 150 to 37. The City Council of Atlanta have appointed Hon. .1. If. James, Judge Cabaniss and Col. 11. W. I rebel, a committee to visit the Federal Capitol in the interest of the Great Westori Canal. A gentleman living in the northern part of Atlanta, Georgia, requests the Era to say to the thief who stole his well-bucket and rope to come and get the well, as it is of no use without the former. Du.! 1 ei.m bold, of Buehu notoriety has been sent to a French asylum for the insane, at the instance of his wife, and upon the opinion of two dis tinguished French physicians. See the reward of S2OO offered, by Francis Cora, for the apprehension and delivery of the party or parties who burnt his mills, with evidence sufficient to convict. A melting sermon being preached in a country cliurcli, all wept except one man, who, being asked why lie dill not weep with the rest, “ Oh,” said he, “ I belong to another church.’ Public prayer was offered in all the churches in Sheffield, England, says Uu> Macon Telegraph, last Sunday, for the prevention of war between Eng land and the United States. Washington. Feb. 13, —The Post master-General lias issued a circular to postmasters, urging that the name of the county as well as the State be put upon all letter and other mail matter, thereby saving delay, con fusion and loss. it is a vain thing lor you to put your finger in the water, and pulling it out, look for a hole; it is equally vain to suppose that, however large a space you may occupy, in your estimation, the world will miss you when you die. An editor in the Vally of Va., has the following ominous paragraph]: “ Wanted, at this office, an old fash ioned Hint lock ‘horse pistol,’ with an inch and a quarter bore—one that never snaps. We are preparing to send out a collecting agent.” Thunder Storm in New York. —A terrific hail storm, accompanied with vived lightning and crashing thunder, was noted in New' York Tuesday evening from seven to nine o’clock. The fall of hail was so thick that it was impossible to see across Broadway. The X. Y. Tribune’s Washington correspondent writes as follows: Col. Forney, of Philadelphia, is in the city to-day on private business. In conversation he speaks very despon dingly of Grant’s chances of renomi nation, and doubts very much if Philadelphia ever will support him. (Hher reports from other States are to the effect that Grant stock is declining everywhere, and all that is now iii cessary, for his defeat is a concen tration of the Independent Republic ans on some strong honest man. A rural Rtquibhcan editor in Indi ana thus add#** a contemporary; “You are a sneaking, whining, groveling puppy; a low, mean con temptible tool; a sore-headed, dough faeed, shallow-brained lickspittle; an officious, impudent, indolent barba- rian ; a foolish, falsifying, fawning sycophant; an obscene, vulgar, sland erous imbecile; an unrefined, ill nnumered, untutored whelp; a sour, scummy, seething mass of corruption; a licentious, demented, sensual beast; and dirty, mangy, sickening cur. Good-bye, you detested bloat!” Here’s a joke about Reed and his confrere Bullock, which we find in the Jacksonville Courier: A medical | aquaintanoe of ours, who, by the 1 way, has never withdrawn his name from the list of members of the “ Dry Joker’s Club,” was asked yesterday w hat had become of Governor Reed. “Gone into the cattle business,” was the somewhat caustic reply. “ You don’t say so,” retorted the querist, “my dear fellow, please explain yourself.” “ Street rumor says,” remarked the wag “ that he is now employed by the State of Georgia, to hunt up a lost Bullock.” Foster BLoi>GETT.--This notorious individual has disappeared! He is gone—no one know's where. It was understood lately in certain quarters that he was at home sick ; but a few' days ago, some gentlemen, who had important bus incus with him, visited his house to see him and found he was not there. We are of the opin ioon that he has not much confidence in that pardon.— Atlanta Sun, Feb. 20 th. We are surprised that any one, much leas an editor of a public jour nal, should object to the publication of religions articles in political papers. There are many anil obvious reasons why it is not only proper to do so, but almost a necessity and certainly a duty. A large number of subscrib ers prefer such articles to any others, and the good they are calculated to do, and which they really effect, ought to be prized and heartily endorsed by every man who has at heart the true interest of the people. They certain ly are not so frequent as to interfere with the current news of the day, or other matters of general interest to the community, and a timely article of this sort is not only acceptable to a large majority of readers, but forms a delightful matter of reflection and information to many who inightqxjs sibly not be so instructed in any other way. We have been led to making these remarks from a local article contained in the Columbus Enquirer, of the 10th inst. And we here take occasion to say to the editor of that department of that paj»er, that if his r iJhiou- anii-i." ar- as acceptable to all others as they are to us, that lie has every encouragement to their continuance. The interests of his pajier are doubtless enhanced by their publication, and in the decided moral and religious influence which they exert, he has and will have his reward. We always read them and with profit aa.l pleasure, and hope that they may from time to time appear in his paper as heretofore. Objectors can and will be found to every good work, but the good man is always content in doing good. Goveroor Smith has, we think, very properly, by his proclamation rescinding the appointment of Daniel S. Printup as receiver of the Cherokee Railroad, refused to recognize the va lidity of the bonds held by Clews & Cos. 11 is proclamation appears in this issue, from which it appears that he refuses to endorse the fraud which has been attempted to be perpetrated upon the State, and relieving as far as he can do so the State from any obliga tion by reason of these illegal bonds, turns over the parties to their remedy, if they have any, under the laws of the State. Mr. Printup is directed to give.possession to the parties who are entitled to it. Having never had any actual possession of any of the prop erty of the road, it seems to us that he has nothing to turn over to others, and all that he can do in the premi ses is simply to retire from his ap pointment under Conley, anil fall back on any rights which under the law he may think he holds as the agent or attorney of Henry Clews & Cos. As the ease now stands, the purchasers at Sheriff’s sale are in possession. Whether the case will rest there we are not prepared to say. ISECK ASD BROWN LOW. Washington, Feb. 16.—1n the House Beck made a personal explana tion, answering Brown low, who at tacked him by a written speech in the Senate. Beck reviewed the history of Ten nessee during Brownlow’s Governor ship, showing that Brownlow made it a pandemonium. He was repeatedly interrupted by points of order, but Speaker Blaine, supported by Banks, ruled favorably. in the course of his speech Beck said: “ What I have said about a pandemonium in Tennessee, I say about all the other Southern States, and a good deal more about some of them. One man, Davis of Texas, was looking me in the face when I said it. I said more against Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, who sat by my side; anil they are not all cripples, nor all imbe ciles. I have never told a lie, and I am prepared to prove every fact I have stated here or elsewhere. They thought they would put up a man to speak against me, of whom they eoulil say, he is a cripple; that he cannot read; that he can’t write: that he can’t walk—and they shield them selves behind him. They are not all cripples—all the rest of them can walk. 1 will prove what I have said against every one of them ; and it is because they know that I will do it— it is because Reed of Florida, Scott of South Carolina, Davis of Texas, and all of them, know that I will prove it —they know that I have been promi nent in getting up a report, which will be before the country in less than a week—that they are trying to black en me, so that when people take up the report and read it, they may say, ‘Oh ! it is that fellow Beck, who was a negro driver, that says this.’ That is their game—that is the reason why they have selected a poor old inibe- cile to attack me.” Disavowing any disrespect to the Senate, and quoting from its more "lorious traditions. Beck concluded by stating that “he had not said any thing to reflect on the Senate; but when he saw vultures setting in the nest of the eagle, and baboons taking the place of the lion, he protested against the outrage. Ho w;anted to keen the Senate pure and lngh-mind ed: he wanted to see the States repre sented by honorable men—but not by men who forced themselves in there at the point of the bayonet, and by fraud, corruption, chicanery, or ostra cism.” In the Senate Mr. Brownlow made o personal explanation m reply to Mr. Beck’s statement in the House, that he Brownlow, while Governor of Tennessee, made that State a pa™£ monium; that he and ) and struetion Governors Y despised by the people, and seemed to tinfl on refuse from prison except |in.to 6 Ke Ug ! by saving that there was a time when Mr. Bock would not have dared to put this insult upon him. lest he snouia take Beck’s overseer’s whip from his hand, and lay it over his hack, lit aJ*o said that when Beck abandonee I the respectable business of hostkrto become a slave driver, he sunk below I the notice of all decent men. . lhe Vice President said this lan -BU\£e improper under the rules. - Chandler moved that Mr. Brownlow have unanimous consent to proceed dentufe rl y asked the Vice P w for the nH her ho knew' any precedent the of such kui 2 uage in sever e • reßi(len t said he did ree guage ha 1 & UStance « w hen sucl l lan 'r IS; but not, of tary rulS .^ with parUamen guage was appro?*’*hrownlow’s lan by which he obtlw!? ,*9 the means hoped he would'be no Bea t’* He ceed. to pro- The Clerk then read « tion.

'kany, (COIMMUNICATED.) Messrs. Editors : Newspapers, whilst they are luxuries to the people at large, are necessities to the invalid. I felt that way to-day, when, after being shut in from the outside world for nearly a week, I was handed the Standard & Express, both to gether, damp and fresh. I like the Standard & Express, not so much lieeause it is edited by so many worthy gentlemen, but be cause it is our paper, got up in our town, and tells me about our people. It is decidedly the best weekly I take, which Ls not to be wondered at, as one or two of the Editors are very smart, three or four of them good preachers, and the rest all honest men. Why, the editorial on the outside of the paper, about “ Perkins’ Toothache,” is worth the subscription price. But what is the matter with our worthy Local ? He writes wrathy about that new-sense he has been in haling. He mast have composed that article whilst sitting on a guano bag, and the effluvia, permeating en tirely through him, he was compell ed to rush to his sanctum, and fling it off, in a paragraph which makes that part of the paper smell badly. Please don’t. As one farmer appeal ing to another farmer, I ask you not to do so any more. It is too late. If you liad written so a few weeks ago, the thing never w r ould have come here. Now, it is out of the factories of these rich manipulators of dirt and filth, and every bag there belong to some poor tiller of the soil, who has invested his all, (i. e. his credit) in it. Don’t take it away, unless some of it belongs to you. “ Darby’s Pro phylactic” would make it stink w r orse. The application of “wood and fire” is dangerous experiment, unless applied in proper places. I sympathize with you in your an tipathy to unpleasant smells. The fact is, it is human nature to dislike a stink. * * * * \* * Your remedy, is not to go about it. Don’t go, just to see if it is still\here. And when you are obliged tA go, stop up both nostrils, and keep your mouth shut perfectly tight, and my word for it, you will not smell anV thing disagreeable. Oartersville i.A the depot for a largo and populous country, and it owes its prosperity to that fact. Some of the farmers live at a great distance, and the roads are muddy, and it keeps on a raining. Bear with the poor farmers. If your lands are so rich as not to need it, others may have poor acres, that cannot yield anything without it. Why, if I did not have to pay for it. I would like a pint applied to every square foot of my farm; and if it did not hurt the guano, I am sure it would not hurt the land. The manufacture of commercial manures has become an institution in the land. There is no doubt a great profit in it, or they would not be able to pay for the car loads of printed matter they send out every year. Their success in selling it is a triumph to printer’s ink. A great majority of them are arrant hum bugs, but then there is no law in the land compelling anyone to buy. For my part, I wish not a pound had ever been brought into this coun try 2 . But it is here, and the planters Will buy it, although they know that the more cotton is made, by so much will the price decline. My crop does not seriously effect the Liverpool market, but a failure to produce it, interferes seriously with my pock et. My rule is to make and apply all the domestic fertilizers I can. I generally can take care of from four to five acres, Now, what is to be come of the balance of my patch ? If I do not apply some stimulant, my work would be comparatively thrown away. Shortly after the war, I planted twelve acres without any kind of ma nure, and I made three bales. That came so near breaking me that I re duced my patch, (using the same field,) to eight acres. I manured it with half a ton of commercial, and all the barn-yard manure I could scrape up. The yield was eight bales, averaging five hundred pounds. Last year I got greedy again, and cultivated the whole fourteen acres, using the same quantity of manure I did on the eight acres. I made ten bales averaging five hundred pounds. I intend this year to cultivate the fourteen acres again. I have already bought one ton of Dickson’s Com pound. I have succeeded in making more horse lot manure than I have done since the war, and I intend, D. V., to make twelve bales, for which I don’t expect to get as mueh as I did for ten last year, and that is the reason I have to make a little more. As this article has assumed an agricultural turn, and I remember that I am one of the delegates to rep resent Bartow, in the approaching convention to assemble in Savannah; and besides the honor, we have free tickets on the railroads, “ I will rise to explain,” that I do not make a bale of cotton at the expense of my provision crop. Living in this beau tiful, grain growing country, I would feel like a humbug if I had to take the little money I make from my cotton to purchase provisions. I make enough corn, wheat, oats, fod der, clover hay, so as to keep my stock fat, and raise hogs enough to furnish the place with plenty of meat. I have good cows, and plenty to winter them on. My turnip crop will do that alone. My farm con sists of two hundred acres of poor land, but I have never allowed any of my stock to run outside of my en closure, since the war. But for all this bragging I confess that money is scarce with me, and I am poor as all who work for a living and try to do right, generally are. In conclusion, myjadvice is, to farm ers, that if they have any money to spare, after paying all their debts, an investment in a good article of guano is a safe one. The only way to select the compound is to purchase from anew company the first and second years, but quit them as soon as they make a reputation, for then they will certainly cheat you. And lastly—let me beg of one and all not to make a fuss about the guano at the depot. And do not let any one, by making a big to do about it try to make people believe that he has a better smell than his neighbors. If there is any one who really can’t -ffimd it, let him procure a handful of it and mix a little good ashes with it and then put the compound loose in his hat, just before putting it on, l" d it will be all right with him ever Awards. mlumbus and vicinity bought 800 mules this season, paying therefore gsStf ° r thw#bou ‘ 9 - WHY I WORK. Cartersvii.le, Feb. 19,1872. Work k no dishonor, and laziness is no credit, to any one. It is good to have good wages, but half par is bet ter than nothing, and working for nothing is better than idleness and vice. There Ls no true manhood without independence. He whose individuality is swallowed up by fashion, folly, or society, has lost that which he may never regain and without which his life must be a vain one. He who restrains himself from luxury*, may help others in necessity. He who helps others, may look to God to help him. Difficulties are placed in our way that we may over come them, and pass through con flicts to victory and through victories. Pride goes before destruction, but honor and nobleness and independ ence of soul are approved of God and are profitable to mankind—now tell me why you do nothing. H. Rl-KLIX ARRESTS—ANOTHER HIGU HAIVDKI) OUTRAGE. Last Thursday night ami Friday, Dr. E. H. Richardson, Charles Bunn, James Crocker, Thomas Crocker, John W. Crocker, Geo. Mobley, Thomas Davis, and Waits, of Polk county*, were arrested at their homes by the Deputy United States Marshal, and brought to this city. This was at the instance of one Mas tin Allred, of that county, who has twice been indicted for hog-stealing, and once for perjury—the latter case now pending before the Superior Court of that county. Allred procured these arrests, no doubt, to prevent these jiersons from testifying against him in this very peijury (.•use. In the warrant ujgfk which these parties were arrested red charges that they had assisted m whipping him in the night, being disguised as Ku-Klux. He has here tofore made this charge against these men before the Grand Jury of‘Polk county and failed to sustain it. When brought to trial the men proved posi tively that they were not guilty* of the alleged whipping, whereupon the Grand Jury preferred a charge of per jury against him, upon which he will, no doubt, be convicted whenev er he can be brought to trial. These men ail appeared before United States Commissioner, W. B. Smith, y*esterday*, but Allred did not put in an appearance. They are to have a hearing to-morrow* if Allred appears. All of them, except the first three, are in jail. They are all re spectable men, who attend to their own business and interfere with no one. i Such outrages are perpetrated un \ier the Grant Radical Ku-Klux Law of Congress. —Atlanta Man, 18th, The examination occupied the en tire\afternoon and much of the even ing, and resulted in the discharge of the following prisoners, viz: Dr. E. H. Richardson, Charles Bunn, John Crocker, Thomas Crocker, Alfred Waits. These w*ere dismissed at the instance of the prosecution for want of evidence. The others, Jas. Crock er, Win. Crocker, Thomas Davis and George held for further examination. APRO C L>M ATION. GEORGIA^ By James M. Smith, Governor of said State. WHEREAS, On the 2Sth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun dred and seventy-one, tiic Hon- Benjamin Con ley, then exercising the executive powers of the Government, issued his proclamation mak ing known, in substance, that upon the peti tion of Henry Clews and Theodore Eowler, of the city of New York, bankers, and partners using the linn name and style of Henry Clews & Cos., he had seized, and did thereby seize, and take possession, for and in behalf of the State, of the Cherokee Railroad, formerly the Carters ville and Van W*ert Railroad, with all the 1 property of the said Cherokee Railroad Com pany, formerly the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad Company, and that ho did thereby, as Governor of this State, place the same in charge t of Daniel S. Printup. Esquire, of Rome, Geor gia, as agent of the State of Georgia, with full power and authority, as such agent of the State, to take into possession ail the property aforesaid of the said Cherokee Railroad Company, to control and manage the same in conformity with the prayer of the said Henry Clews & Cos., and in accordance with the pro visions of an Act entitled “An Act to loan the. credit of the State to the Cartersville and Van 1 Wert Railroad Company,” approved March 12, 1860 ; ami that payment might be made—after discharging laborers’liens—of the sum of six tliousun and one hundred and twenty-five dollars, semi-annual interest, due September 1,1870, on one hundred and seventy-fivefbonds of the said Cartersvillc and Van Wert Railroad Company, numbered from one (1) to one hundred and sev enty-live (175) inclusive, each lor one thousand dollars, with interest coupons attached, paya ble semi-annually, on the lirst day of March and the first day of September in each year, at the rate of seven per cent, per annum, and which bonds the said Henry Clews &Cos. aver red in their said petition were owned and held by them, and issued to cover the first fourteen miles of said Railroad, and that each had en dorsed thereon the guarranty of the State of Georgia for the payment of the principal and and interest thereof, in accordance with the provisions of the Act entitled “ Au Act to loan the credit of the State to the Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad Company,” approved - March 12,1869 ; And whereas, The Constitution of this State iuhlbits the granting or loaning ol the credit of the State to aid any Company in which thero is not already an equal amount invested by pri vate persons ; And whereas, also, The Act entitled “ An Act to loan the credit ol the State to the Carters ville and Van Wert Railroad Company,” ap proved March 12, 1869, gave power to the Gov ernor, in behalf of the State, to endorse the guaranty of the State on the bonds of said Com pany only when and as sections, each of five consecutive miles, commencing at Cartersville, had been completed and put in running order, and then only to the extent of twelve thousand five hundred dollars per mile of the sections so completed and in running order; And whereas, It appears from reliable infor mation received by me, that at the time the guaranty of the State was indorsed by Rufus B. Bullock, late Governor, upon the one hundred and seventy-five bonds aforesaid for the pur pose of loaning the credit of the State to.aid the said Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad Com pany to the extent of $175,000, not so much even as two thousand dollars had been invested in the said Company by private persons; and that not so much as one section of five miles of said Railroad had been completed and put in run ning order by said Company; and that the sig nature of said Henry Clews as Treasurer of said Company appears on the face of the said bonds, whereby he stands charged with notice of the illegal and unauthorized indorsement afore said. And whereas, The said indorsements of guar anty made on the said bonds as aforesaid were made without authority of law, and are in no wise the act or deed of the State of Georgia, and there being, in my opinion, no good and sufficient reason for allowing the said Daniel S. Printup to continue to have or exercise the powers ol Agent of the State, conferred upon him as aforesaid in the proclamation of the lion. Benjamin Conley: Now, therefore, I, James M. Smith, Governor of said State, do issue this, my Proclamation, making known that I have this day revoked and annulled the power and authority confer red upon the said Daniel S. Printup under the proclamation issued by the Hon. Benjamin Conley as aforesaid, and that the said Daniel S. Printup ha* been ordered and directed to turn over all property of said Railroad Company of every kind w hich may have come into his pos session, power or control as Agent of the State aloresaid, to such person or persons as may be lawfully entitled to the possession of the same; and that the said Daniel S. Printup shall forth with dismiss any and all suits, whether in law or equity, commenced by him as agent afore said for the recovery or maintaining possession by him of any property or effects whatever of said Railroad Company, Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, at the Capitol in Atlanta, the 17th day of February, in the year of our Lord Eighteen Hundred and Seventy-tw a, and of the Inde pendence of the United States of America the Ninoty-sixth.
