A Big Thing.— Under this head the Atlanta Herald of yesterday says: The Air-Line Railroad will be completed very soon and its connec tions closed all through to New York. It is rumored that an extensive com bination has been formed to lease or buy up the whole lii* through to * Orleans, and thus have control of the freights along the way, and es pecially of the cotton crop. [ Many of the leading citizens of the i States have reached that | point where they keep mediums in |stheir service all the time, paying »from the sum of one thousand to- ten thousand dollars a year for guiding directing them. B K The whites and negroes of Louisi ana have, at last, collided. It is re poitod that from eighty to one hun dred negroes were killed, and the courthouse, in which they were en trenched, burned. The fight took place on Sunday last. ATLANTA PAPERS. The Atlanta papers are all, as they should be, emulous of public appro bation, and, if the accounts which each one gives of itself is not exager ated, each excels the other. No one is equal to his neighbor, and every one is ahead of his rival. This has the largest circulation, but then that has a larger one than this; this has more reading matter than any other, and yet that other lias far more than all. The Constitution is the favorite of the people and the admiration of the State, and is taken by every body, and publishes for the whole world. The Herald steps in, “news from all nations lumbering at his back,” defying com petition, and mas ter of the field, while there the bright Sun, with his broad disk, sheds such a glorious light all around, that Her ald, Constitution, and all others, are, for the nonce, enveloped in absolute darkness. We take each and all of these worthy caterers for the public favor and the public good, and for the life of us, forasmuch as we are al ways influenced by the declarations of a man as to his ow 7 n condition and capacities, we are at a loss which to say most “fills the bill,” unless, like a petit juror, we should be carried away by the last speaker. Sparing no pains, stopping at no ex penditures, agents tripping all over .the land, busy correspondents prying into every crack and corner of the round world for news and edifyiug facts, interviewing here and conjec turing there, dailies, weeklies, and Sundays, from sixteen up to ninety columns, they crow (f the eye, fill the ear, and hardly give one time to breathe. Swift footed, like their fa bled mother, -Atlanta, they defy all competition in the race, and as they speed along, eaeh’bries aloud that all may hear, “I’m ahead.” We are more than rejoiced at the success of our “Metropolitan” brethren, and the brilliant record which they are mak ing for themselves, and hope it is largely accompanied by larger sub stantial and quite as shining evidences of prosperity, real , solid, and to be handled. If the laborer is worthy of his hire, surely these disciples of un r< st who ply their vocation by day and night, and to whom the night is as the day, a scene of perpetual labor and anxious toil, should reap a large reward. PIO NINO. The news from Rome tells us of the continued indisposition of the Pope, and fears are entertained that the Pa pal throne will soon be made vacant by his death. Ile is now eighty-three years old, having occupied his im portant position for a longer period than any of his predecessors. A stor my life, marked by the most impor tant events of modern history, is drawing to its close, but unfortunate ly for the glory and power of the Catholic cause, not only shorn of its former splendor, but dismembered of its temporal powers, and overborne by the surrounding Monarchies of the continent, he dies without earth ly hope of the future of Catholic Christendom. Shorn of its temporal power, the succession may not per haps, be so much courted as in former times, but yet will need the wisest head and the bravest heart for the important events which in the next decade or two will inevitably gather around the grand old Church. He may he the last of her teitfporal princes, but if the march of events shall serve to purify her of her cor ruptions and bring from the dead the more Christian virtues of her first ear ly history, what any successor to the papal throne may lose in regal pomp and earthly power, will be more than gained by her devoted people and the cause of Christ at large. INFIDELITY IN GEORGIA. The Home Journal states it as a fact not generally known, but posi tive and true, that there is a wide spread and organized effort now be ing made, and in actual operation, through the agency of infidel lectur ers, writers, and publications, to put down Christianity in this State. That hitherto tlreir efforts have been more particularly applied in the Northern, Eastern, and Western States, but that of late their operations are to invade the South. No one who has access to the public prints but can see how largely the community has already suffered in this behalf, while the mor tifying fact exists of a prurient ea gerness on the part of a large portion of the people to give ear to the spe cious assaults which, in one form or another, are constantly being made upon the religion of the Bible. Wan dering lecturers, bold, assuming, un godly spiritualists, male and female, poor, half-witted, but self-assumed, and falsely so-called scientists, mere pretenders to knowledge, with a bare smattering of learning, picked up from pamphlets, or infidel reviews, or vanquished opponents of religion , are to be met with almost every where. It is the old battle between truth and error, vice and virtue, sin and holiness, God and the devil. NELLIE GRANT. All the papers tell us that Nellie, the daughter of Gen. Grant, is soon to be married to a Mr. Murphy, son of Tom Murphy, a rich man, and an especial friend of the General. Now if this is said by way of magnifying and giving importance to the parties concerned, or rather because the par ties belong to the “upper ten,” and a nything that the aristocratic (?) circles are about to do must be made known with a flourish, and to their lauda tion, and for the common people to hear and wonder at, then all we have to. say is that we are very glad Nellie is to be married, and are happy to be informed of the fact. We suppose the parties wish to marry, and the “parients” are willing, and it is not in our heart to forbid the bans. In the name of common sense, let them marry, and have an end of it. It is, we suppose, a matter of no large in dividual interest, except to the fam ilies of the couple and themselves, while the public has no more interest in what Murphy’s son and Nellie Grant are about to do, than any otbar two clever young people in uie inad. Let the young folke marry if they w ill, but aw ay w ith all this miserable toadyism, and poor attempt at Court calendaring. M EDICAL ASSOCIATION. The Medical Association of the State, lately assembled at Atlanta, after an agreeable and, we suppose, not unprofitable conference of its members, has adjourned. Reports, enquiries, speeches and discussions upon the various matters connected with the profession, formed the sta ple of their proceedings as usual—all we believe in harmony—much to the edification of the members, and. we would fain hope, in advancement of their humane and indispensable call ing. The attention of the body was particularly called to the discussion of that terrible disease known as meningetis, but after all that was elicited upon the subject, the conclu sion was come to, that, while all ad mitted it to be the most formidable and fatal of modern diseases, yet that none of them could tell exactly what it was, or whence its origin; some attributing it to malarial origin, some announcing it as a poison, while oth ers sat it down as a highly inflamma tory affection caused by the sudden extremes of heat and cold. Nor w r as the mode of treatment to be adopted any more definitely ascertained; some suggesting one tiling, some another, the better opinion seeming to be that, in the first stages of attack, the lan cet was most efficacious, but all agree ing that nothing could be positively asserted as to its origin or treatment. It is to be hoped that the efforts of this large and well informed body of physicians will, sooner or later, be able to master this dreaded affection, and that by their next meeting some thing more definite and reliable may he discovered, both as to its diagnosis and management. The organization of this body has already been pro ductive of great good, and its constant and increasing knowledge in all the departments of its noble science, warmly and worthily elicits the in terest of the whole body of the com munity. We bid them God speed in the cause of their profession, for it is the cause of suffering humanity. HOMFSTEAD AND TAX ACT. The Supreme Court of the United States has at last come up to the res cue of constitutional law, and the protection of the just rights of parties, by the decisions which it has made upon the homestead law, and the act of ’6B which requires all plaintiffs to swear and prove that they had paid all taxes due upon any promissory notes or fi. fas. existing prior to 1860, otherwise their claims should be null and void. The Supreme Court has determined both the homestead and tax act unconstitutional, so far as their retroactive effects are concerned. All this legislation was made in the interest of the debtor class, totally regardless of the rights or condition of the creditor, and every body felt and believed that it was wrong, al though parties defendant in many cases were not slow to avail them selve of its benefit. We remember that we had, and still have, as just a claim as ever existed, acknowledged ly so, where the party had our prop erty for which he had given us his note. We had obtained a judgment upon the claim, hut here came the homestead and we were at the end of our row, faintly hoping that our debt or might not be deaf to the justice of our claim, we called upon him, and in reply to our desire to have the matter adjusted, “well,” said he, “I believe I have got just about enough to make me and my old woman com fortable, and I rayther think I’ll not pay that debt, but just homestead it.” We think we will “interview” this gentleman upon the subject once again, and if not vastly mistaken, our conversation will, perhaps, under this decision of the Supreme Court, be entitled to some little considera tion at his hands. It may be hard that some men will now have to pay honest debts; it was always hard that any man should be compelled to lose an honest debt.— The decision is wise, just and good. Let men abide by their contracts fair ly and honestly made, and if compro mises are to be made, let them do it without the interference of unjust legislation. [For the Standard & Express. TO THE CITIZENS OF CARTERS VILLE. One of your denizens sees fit to ex press his views in anticipation of a project now about to be submitted in the way of water works, the founda tion of which is Ponder’s spring, some two miles distant. In all candor, fellow-citizens, let us reason on this subject before we have cause to regret. Now don’t think me a croaker, or an old fogy, but an ounce of preventa tive is better than a pound of cure.— Let us, then, consider in time the two suggestions that are now before the people of Cartersville for a supply of water in case of fire. Now, that sys tem which will accomplish most with the least means, is the one we should adopt. The first step in this direc tion then, would be, in my humble opinion, to build four cisterns at con venient distances, say for a thousand feet of hose, twelve hundred feet apart, except two on public square. These cisterns cost, say two hundred dollars each, and by tin attachments from roofs of houses, can be kept con stantly full and ready in case of fire, or for sprinkling the streets, and that too, without additional expense to the citizens. Then I propose the next step to be the exchange of the present hook and ladder apparatus for a suction and force engine. This 1 think can be easily accomplished, from the fact that, of late, these en gines are very little used in large ci ties, while the hook and ladder are requisite to gain elevations which we do not need. Now, with these cis terns, a thousand sees of hose, a suc tion and force engine and thirty men, I can put out, or check, almost any fire that may occur in our little city. Well, now let us take a birdseye view of the Ponder spring project. Ido not know what kind of piping they propose, but I do know that it will be attended with a heavy expense, and subject to getting out of repair all the time. But admit the water is brought to us by pipes, what then? Why, fellow-citizens, it must be in a body elevated, before you have a force sufficient to accomplish much with it. It is true it would run with force sufficient to fill au efigioe per haps as fast as she would force it out but the gravel and sand constantlv flowing through sueh a stream would rum the best engine in the world, so that right in the midst of a conflagra tion we would have to stop and clean out, and thus allow the flames to re gain all the advantage we had gain ed over them. Now, it is not my object to oppose the introduction of water into our little city, far from it but to arrive at the best wav, bv the best means possible. And this I eou h nd, for the present, is, the requisite number of cisterns, a No. 1 suction and force tire engine, a thousand feet of hose, from forty to sixty men, and I think this will be suflicieut for any ordinary emergency. A. Citizen. [lor the Standard & Express. MELANGE. Atlanta, Ga., April llth, 1873. Time in its flight brings changes startling and wonderful. Expedients of yesterday are principles to-day. Ideas are revolutionized and theories become effete, and we can scarcely realize the change wrought in our form ot government. All apothegm of Talleyrand’s is, “That a long con tinuance of a wise administration is the best and surest means of arriving at a despotism.” Our present gov ernment gives us no alarm. How ever, we live in an ago of advanced ideas and progression, and would seek to accomplish reforms by a pro cess of natural development, rather than by insane appeal to revolution ary violence; and while the grand truth, the fundamental principle of society, is recognized, that all men are equal in the eye of the law, we fail not to perceive that equality of right can never confer equality of posi tion, (negro jurors to the contrary not withstanding) and socialism should be regarded the negation of liberty by divine right. ‘ The whirligig of Time, in its evo lution, lias placed in power an im practicable school of politicians, who affect to believe that a legislative act can create value, that a law of politi cal economy can be annulled by a parliamentary majority, or a perma nent revolution achieved by a procla mation. But “all that is legal is not legitimate,” and Time, the dispenser of all things, is said to be a potent auxiliary of whoever is on the side of right and progress. Hence, we hope to have a proper adjustment, not in the near future, we opine, some where in the dim distance, located about the era which Maeauley, with prophetic inspiration, has predicted for his New Zealander. In the good old days gone by (“All times when old are good”) who would have thought of claiming suffrage for their “sister woman.” Now ’tis being agi tated to an alarming extent, and the much vexed question may find a so lution in the elective franchise, re gardless of sex, color or previous con dition.” A consummation not de voutly to be desired, for woman should be content in the sphere allot ted, {vide Eve) satisfied with being loved —a gentle creature winning in her weakness, reigning sovereign ov er all hearts in the sanctity of home, gracious in the dispensation of loving offices—not an unsexed creature, clamoring for rights never intended, and by no sophistry or falacy of argu ment could be converted into a bless ing. The time may come when a woman may dare venture an opinion and yet not be deemed pert or odious ly strong-minded, nor regarded as a bold invader of man’s domain. Or if at all above mediocrity, to be sneered at as having cropped out iikcharacter, or sprouted into an oddity, or, worse still, to have sunken into" that most hopeless of all pitiable conditions—a literary inanity. Time has effected, a radical change in our “Operative Democracy,” and we have realized the doom of Adam when surely but slowly he left Eden. Having no taste naturally or acquired for drudgery, nor has the costly exotic thrived by cultivation, and we are rather appre hensive lest chronic and constitution al laziness should have something to do with it, and we execrate the inter minable routine of humdrum duties that would wear out a machine, not to mention the wear and tear and material damage done to a patience that was never like Job’s. Unques tionable domesticity is a saint-like virtue, an insurance against tough dinners, a voucher for buttons, and a guardian of good temper—a guaranty against squabbles. The woman who is aufait in the culinary department is a Van Amburg, for the most un tamable of the horrid species man is subdued into gentleness by a good dinner. If not gentle lie fails to growl while taking his feed. Girls should bear in mind this fact, and regulate their knowledge according ly : That all men who make up their minds “to be wheedled and purred at, pawed and clawed and scolded and fondled, blinded and deafened, bridled and saddled, bedeviled and married,” have hearts so-called —but the way to them is down their throats. D. W. TO THE FRIENDS OF NEGRO LABOR IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. Augusta, Ga., April 10, 1873. At the meeting of the Agricultural Society of this State last February, held in this city, the following resolu tion was adobted : Jiesolved , That a committee of five be appointed, with Col. D. E, Butler Chairman, to consider and report a the next convention of the society the best plan of preventing colored emigration from the State. Accordingly Mr. Johnson, Assist ant Secretary, informs me that the following are the gentlemen named ; by the President: D. E. Butler, Chairman ; Captain T. G. Holt, Jr., Macon ; Colonel W. J. Anderson, Fort Valley; Hon, John C. Ragsdale, Lithonia, and Colonel JohnH. Fitten, Adairsville. The object of this communication is to invite co-operation, gather sta tistists, facts, and as much other in formation as we may, that a good re port be made in August next, at Ath ens, to the society. The committee will gladly receive letters, and promptly reply. Write to any of us. Will not planters, as a class, give us the result of their experience and reasoning on the subject ? Will not some officer of the railroads take a leisure moment and arrange for us such information as the records in their office may afford, viz: how many negro laborers have gone out of Georgia over their lines, and how many came in if any ? The question is, “is it true that they are going away? Then how shall we keep them here?” My address is, D. E. Butler, Chairman, Care J. J. Pearse, Butler & Cos., Au gusta, Ga. P. S.—The press of the State will confer a favor by giving circulation to this notice. A BANKRUPCY DECISION. Washington, April 11,—An im portant decision in regard to the amendatory bankrupt act was pro nounced yesterday in the United States District Court at Xynchburg, Virginia, by Judge Rives. *" He held that the law was constutional, and decided that it gave to bankrupts homestead exemptions against old as well as new debts, and against all liens of judgments in the State court#. Stoves—Rome, vs. Columbus.— We see from an article in the Colum bus Sun, that they boast in that city of making seven stoves a day during the busy season. Now, Mr. Sun, that is mere noth ing in comparison to what we do in Rom \ Seay & Walker, iu our city, make daily, an average of sixteen stoves, besides, say, 3,000 fts. of grates Hollow ware, and 7,000 lbs. heavy castings. They are this week castings six hotblast Boxes for the Bartow Fur nace. They weigh 5,000 lbs. each. We think this looks like business. What say yon, f — Rome Commercial. Personal—“Simmons’ Liver Reg ulator received. This medicine I had previously used in my family, and I willingly bear testimony to its beneficial effects.—FT. G. Cahaniss, Forsyth, Ga. A young lady studying French, and finding that “belle” meant “fine” told someone in a letter that we had a great deal of belle weather lately. The following sentence of only thirty-four letters contains all the let ters in the alphabet; “John quickly extemporized five tow bags.” The act of December 2ith 1872, abolishing the office of Assessor and Assistant Assessor of Revenue will take effect on May, the 20th, At that time the services of about three hun dred and thirty Assessors, and about twelve hundred Assistants, will be dispensed with. One of the members of the Ten nessee House of Representatives rose in his place in that august and digni fied assemblage the other day, and said: “There is a heap o’ gol-darned fool ishness gwine on here dat 1 don’t un derstand. Ever since de fust day ob de session you’ve been votin to lay bills on de table, an’ yet thar’s yer durned old table widout a bill on it, an’ I’d like to know what you’ve done wid dem bills.” Personal.— B. W. Wrenn, Gen eral Passenger and Ticket Agent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, has returned from New York. The Railroad Ticket Agents’ Convention adopted the old rates for the South. Cars will go through from New Or leans to New York without change. Gen. Fremont has been convicted of swindling, in selling the Memphis & El Paso Railroad Bonds, and sen tenced to five years in the Peniten tiary. Fitch, of the Griffin Star, has a farm which he dubs “Fancy Farm” He ought to make a good farmer for lie can raise “corn” or” rye” with re markable facility, and without sugar either.
