We learn from the last Gainesville

that Friday meant it.
Bruce, the colored Senator from
Mississippi, is of the color of a China
man. His hair curls but has not the
corkscrew twist. He is a man of ex
cellent good sense and of unsullied
private character and was the best
sheriff, so the planters said, that ever
governed his county in the lowlands
of Mississippi.
Monday morning’s mail brought
us a copy of the Columbus Daily
Times, at the head of which we find,
as one of the Editors, the name of our
whilom l'eliow-eitizen Mr. Francis
Fontaine. Those who know Mr. F.
know that he is a chaste and beauti
ful writer. We think Wright and
Cos., did well to associate him with
them and we wish for them the great

The District Board of Health, who
have been seeking the causes for the
excessive mortality among negroes
in Washington, discover that of the
money appropriated by Congress for
free dispensaries and medical treat
ment, not a dollar has been expended
on the afflicted race. Thus far, a sol
itary pair of shoes is the only thing
heard of to explain what went with
an appropriation of 810,000.
Gen. W. H. Decker, ex-State as
sessor of Louisiana, is in jail forsteal
ing in New Orleans. In twelve
months, if Louisiana had an honest
government, two-thirds of Kellogg’s
government would be in the peniten
tiary. But the knaves will fly as
soon as the people regain power, even
as Arkansas is depopulated by Gar
land’s supremacy. St. Louis is to
be pitied. Clayton, the late Arkan
sian king has gone there to live. It is
the heaviest blow that ever befell
the vigorous capital of the Central
State. St. Louis will have Kellogg
ham-strung if he give the slightest
intimation of his purpose to join
Clayton as a shyster in the St. Louis
Old Bailey.'
The Dalton Enterprise of Tuesday
morning last, comes to us with a
long article—one half a column —des-
criptive of a very disastrous confla
gration,which visited that city about
one o’clock, that morning, and after
minutely describing the ravages of
the fire fiend, he winds up with a
paragraph, saying that the article
was prepared, anticipatory of such
a disaster, a3 there were no appli
ances for extinguishing a fire in that
city. This is a grim joke, Hanbury.
You caused us to lose a whole sheet
of paper in writing a description of
your fire; but we rejoice that it is a
joke. Continue to stir your people
up, however, on the subject of fire ex
tinguishers. Although we have a
very efficient organization here, to
aid in ease of fire—the Hook & Lad
der Company’—we fear very’ much
a good fire engine would be sadly
missed if a fire were to unfortunately
break out in any of the business
squares of this city. The absence of
plentiful supplies of water, need be
no reason for not getting the engine
—one of the new Bab-cock fire Ex
tinguishers, in which but a small
portion of water is used, now fills the
bill, and we hope the day is not dis
tant when both cities will be supplied
with them.
The Rome Courier sums up the
many-pieced quilts which have late
ly come in the front in Georgia and
Alabama, as follows: A Carroll Cos.,
girl, 2700 pieces; Miss Humphries,
of R0me,5992 pieces ; Miss R. C. Ste
phens, 4128 pieces; Miss Mattie J.
Pinson, of Cherokee county, Ala., 3874
pieces. Now, Cartersville can lay
all the above far in the shade. Dr.
W. E. Foute told us on Thursday
that Mrs. Syler, a lady 78 years old,
had a quilt, which she had just fin.
nished, which contained 7616 pieces.
The Doctor tell us that he counted
the pieces. And yet this quilt sinks
into insignificance when compared
with one once in possesion of a friend
of ours. It was eight feet square, and
contained pieces of the size of a sil
ver quarter of a dollar, aggregating
something over 9200 pieces. It oc
cupied the spare time of three old la
dies, during a period of fifty years
and was made mostly’ of silk and
berege. ___
THE FIRST SHOT.
Civil Rights Bill Unconstitutional.
Judge Emmons, presiding in the
United States Circuit Court, at Mem
phis, Tennessee, in charging the
Grand Jury of his Court, took occa
sion to refer to the recent passage of
the Civil Rights Bill, and the mat
ters that would likely be brought be
fore them for their consideration, in
consequence of its passage. The
learned Judge gave the Grand Jury
the benefit of his views of the consti
unconstitutional, and should there
fore be treated as a nullity by courts
and juries. The very’ ablest lawyers in
the land, concur with Judge Emmons
in this view, and it seems to he only
a question of time to have it so de
termined by the highest judicial tribu
nal in the Udiited States.
Andy Johnson has completely
knocked the wind out ofPinchback
and Alcorn’s colored colleague, Bruce.
The brief argument is, that under the
Dred Scott decision negroes were not
citzens till so made by the fourteenth
amendment. The Constitution says
a Senator must have been nine years
a citizen. Pinch back and Bruce are
“minors” for two years to come.
Andy will further tell that when
Brownlow was Governor at Nashville,
the latter wanted troops to expell
“rebel” members of the Legislature,
as was done by Sheridan in New Or
leans. Stanton concurred with the
then President Johnson that thePres
iilent had no power to interfere in
the organization of the State Legis
ture.
The character of the outrageous
swindle interjected surreptitiously
into the postal rates, for the sake of
increasing the postal revenues to off
set the privilege Congressmen were
voting themselves of franking home
hundreds of tons of bound boredom,
will be strikingly illustrated by ex
plaining that it makes the postage
on transient daily and weekly news
papers practically prohibitory. In
fact, the transient postage oil many
of the larger and heavier journals
amounts to more than the subscrip
tion price and postage together when
they are regularly mailed to sub
scribers. The absurdity of such a
system is self-evident. One cent is a
fair rate of postage for a transient
newspaper and the Forty-fourth Con
gress will no doubt vote to return to it.
A negro prisoner, whilst being
conveyed on the Air Line Railroad,
from Belton Ga., to Gainesville,jump

the rate of 25 miles per hour. He
did not make a clear leap; his left
foot was caught under the wheel and
crushed. His leg was amputated.
He says he was engaged in stealing
chickens for the poor. It is now
thought as one-legged men ,cannot
climb very well, the chickens in and
around Belton need not now roost so
high.
John J. Evans, a real estate broker
in Washington, advertised in the Re
publican of that city a short time ago,
that he would exchange “very 'desir
able real estate, free and unencum
bered, within two and a half to four
miles from the city of Washington,”
for the pass books of parties having
deposits in the Freedman’s Bank.
About the time this advertisment ap
peared, the Commissioners made an
effort to resign because of the hope
less condition of the affairs of that in
stitution, and it was then given out
that the depositors would not realize
more than twenty cents on the dol
lar. The lower depths of this villainy
has not yet been reached.

In Rochester, N. Y., a young doc
tor lately attempted to leave an in

a Mr. Kent, heard the door bell ring,
and being up and at the door, opened
it. He saw the basket, heard a squall
in it, and caught a glimpse of a pair
of coat tails just disappearing around
the corner. Without waiting to see
what was in the basket he rushed af
ter the coat tails, and as he was pretty
fleet of foot, caught them. He found
they belonged to a Dr. E. L. Wood,
a tledgling doctor, who had been
hired by a lady who had one more
youngster than she wanted, and hav
ing heard that Mr. K. had lately lost
a child, she agreed to give the Doctor
$50,00 if he would leave it at Mr, K.’s
door, so that it might betaken in and
cared for. Kent did not want any
babies, coming that way, and declined
the gift. So the doctor carried it
back to its mother and lost his $50,00
fee. This is a branch of the medical
practice not mentionod in any of the
books.
That eminent patriot statesman,
Senator George E. Spencer of Ala
bama, is likely to have trouble be
fore the expiration of his term in
1878. A committee of the Alabama
Legislature has begun to investigate
the manner of his election in 1872,
and it is enarged that they will have
no trouble in proving that money
was freely used. Speaking of the
investigation the Montgomery Ad
vertiser says: “If there is sense of
justice in the majority in the United
States Senate, such evidence will be
laid before them as will induce them
to promptly unseat Senator Spencer.”
Mr. Spencer has written a letter con
cerning the charges against him, in
which he says: “In reply to this
false accusation made by the Secession
Democracy, I have only to state that
it was my fortune to have received
the unanimous nomination of the
Republican caucus, there being
no opposing candidate, and also
every Republican vote in the Legis
lature of Alabama. I do not shrink
from any investigation and cordially
invite the most scearching scrutiny
which my vindictive personal and
political" enemies may desire to
make.”

As ex-Congressman Lowe, of Kan

Justice of Utah, was once Judge of
the Cincinnati Police Court, that city
delights in his advancement. The

the items in his “stationery account”
while serving Kansas, his country
and his God in Congress. In that bill
are such items as tea, sugar, lemons,
castiie soap, stay laces and sal soda.
There were forty-eight dozen of these
stay laces, and the presumption is
they were intended to brace up Sal
Soda, of whom there was three hun

Probably the world never before

A SKETCH OF A DESERVING INSTI
TUTION.
[Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.]
Atlanta, March 26, 1875.
An Asylum for the Unfortunate and Af
flicted.
The traveler in emerging from the passenger
depot in Atlanta, will, if he takes the pains,
see on the opposite side of the street a substan
tial, imposing three-story edifice, which, tho’
not calculated to attract the attention of a su
perficial observer, is the headquarters of one
of the most remarkable institutions in this
country. The National Surgical Institute, for
such is its name, is the great Southern Asylum
for the afflicted. Heie is the humane nursery
for tho delovmed, the lame, the blind, the par
alytic and the rheumatic. This is the Southern
Branch of the National Surgical Institute lo
cated at Indianapolis, which, since the year
1859, the time it was established, lias treated
nearly 40,000 patients, afflicted with paratvsis,
rheumatism, deformity ot the lace, crooked
hands and feet, diseases of the joints, contract
ed chords, stiff knees, enlarged and inflamed
joints, whito swelling, spinal curvature, club
loot, catarrh, piles and fistula, female diseases
and all chronic complaints.
The Southern Branch at Atlanta
Was located here in 1874, about thirteen months
ago, and it has now under treatment over one
thousand patients! The city of Atlanta alone
furnishes for treatment over one hundred pa
tients, a fact conclusively demonstrating that it
is really a meritorious, popular and deserving
institution, being patronized liberally at home.
Its patients come from every Southern State,
embracing Virginia, Tennessee, North Caroli
na. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Despite the brief time since its establishment,
there is scarcely a train which reaches the city
that does not bring an unfortunate and afflict
ed patient to this philanthropic institution.
A High-timed Institution.
This surgical institute is no patent medicine
swindle, no quack imposition, no traveling
ephemeral humbug,but a permanent institution
under the control of an incorporated cornpanv
of philanthropists and higty-toned, experien
ced and skillful physicians—gentlemen who by
practice, research and patient study have be
come experts in their profession. The insti
tute has a capital of $500,000, and besides being
thoroughly reliable and responsible, lias every
facility for treating with ease and expedition
what appear to be the most hopeless cases of
infirmity and deformity.
The Arrangement.
After ascending the stairway to the second
story, the first room you enter on the left is the
consultation room. Here is found a reclining
chair, reversible and adjustible to almost any
position, on which rc*ts the patient while un
dergoing examination or surgical operation,
the latter process being very rare, the police of
the institution being to reclaim all paralytics
and restore all patients to normal conditions
by the use of mechanical appliances which, by
continuous hut gradual pressure and applica
tion, remove all deformities without pain to
the patient. Next on the left i-. the business
office, and next, connected hv a door, is the ap
paratus room, which is filled with thousands
of mechanical contrivances adapted to as many
different cases of deformities, all of which arc
manufactured in their own shops. Next is the
room of the matron, dir,. M. C . Doutin, who
has control and supervision of the lady pa
tients, for these wi-e and honorable gentlemen,
determined to subject no female to indelicate
treatment, have provided a woman skilled in
the business to superinted the treatment of all
females. In the adjoining room is located the
steam, electrothermal, medicated and ordinary
water baths, any and all of which are used, as
the case may require. On the opposite side of
the hall is the dining room, where the boaiders
arc accommodated with excellent and whole
some fare. Adjoining this are the reception
rooms, where arc found splendid specimens ol
their manufactured apparatus and appliances
and numerous plaster casts of deformities
which have been treated by them—here are to
he seen human figures hearing miniature ap
pliances illustrating their treatment oi every
conceivable deformity.
Its Homelike Appearance.
All these apartments are handsomely and
comfortably carpeted and furnished, present
ing every indication of the most pleasant home
lite. Patients arc sitting or walking about the
building, freely and cheerfully conversing, af
fording unmistakable signs of happiness and
contentment, in this and the adjoining build
ings are the elegantly furnished rooms for the
accommodation ot patients while they remain
at the institute, a large majority of the cases
only remaining long enough to have the appli
ances made and adjusted and to understand
what is required in order to insure success, at
tur which the treatment is followed at home.
The Gymnasium.
In the basement is located the gymnasium,
where is placed all the appliances and machin
ery for lacilitating patients in exercising their
paralyzed limbs and bodies, all of which are
operated by a steam engine. Here are arrang
ed the vacuum chambers used to revive the
circulation in paralyzed limbs. This curious
and ingenious appliance is operated iu this
wise: 'iiie paralyzed leg, reduced tomereskin
and hone by the process of disease, is placed in
these.vacuum chambers, whoreupon the air is
pumped out and the blood rushing to the life
less limb restores the circulation and imparts
to it lite and vigor. Thcr are located here
machinery and appliances for exercising the
joints itd muscles of the bauds and feet, and
to revive the action which lias long lain dor
mant from disease; here are located mechani
cal contrivances for strengthing the back, re
laxed and helpless by spinal diseases; likewise
contrivances lor i.isting patients to walk.
As an illustration of Hie pi-dcticubleucss of the
last named contrivance, l will state that a pa
tient linin Mobile, weigliinglOO pounds, with a
tremendous body and great, brawny muscular
anus, eniue here to obtain treatment. His
legs were paralyzed. He had never walked a
step in his lite. lie c„u now, with crutches,
traverse the entircjengtii of the building.
Manufacturing Hepurpiirtincut.
In adjoining rooms is the manufacturing de
partment where, from drawing? and designs
furnished by the surgeons, skillful artisans
and mechanics luuuuiucture every description
of apparatus and appliance used m the treat
ment of patients. Here we see the finest temp
ered steel, imported at great expense irom the
first manufactories of the world, which by its
excellent quality combines lightness uud du
rability. Rubber goods used in the vacuum
chambers, pads and linings to the apparatus
and other costly labrics of the most approved
manufacture are seen on every hand, showing
that this is no cheap quackery hut
A Scientific Institution,
Conducted by gentlemen who take a pride iu
their profession, who take au interest in the
improvement of all their patients, who take
pains and exhibit kindness and patients in the
treatment of all persons Confided to their keep
ing. The Atlanta branch is under the control
and direct supervision of Ills. C. L. Wilson, G.
W. Handy, K. H. Boland, J. C. Allanswortli,
who devote their close, undivided personal at
tention to th duties before them. Though
they are anxious to make money, they never
make false promises or hold out false .expecta
tions to applicants for treatment in order to
obtain their patronage and money. They in
invariably decline to treat any case which they
feel they cannot benefit. Even to-day they
dismissed three applicants because they con
sidered their cases hopeless, or at least, defy
ble, nor do tiiey pretend to superiority iu skill
over every surgeon; yet they do claim, and
justly, too, to be prepared by unusual aud un
surpassed lacilitics to treat in all infirmities
and deformities. They have recently treated
a case of cataract with gratifying success. Au
old lady, seventy-nine years of age, Mrs. L>e
Eoach, of Georgia, who has been blind for sev
en years, has just been restored to sight.
No lied Tape.
Drs. Wilson, Handy, Boland aud Allanswortli
are gentlemen of kind hearts as well as culti
vated minds aud skilled hands. There is no
formality andrcdiape about this institution.
Every patient recognizes in them friends and
associates, who are always ready to help and
advise, llefincd and cultivated ladies and gen
tlemen have hesitated to come here and be
come inmates of the house lest the associations
and the constant sight of deformities would he
disagreeable, hut alter trial they found it the
most pleasant imaginable. Ttieinmates of the
institution all seem to he cheeifui, and patterns
naturally despondent on account ol their mis
fortune?, here daily come in contact with those
more afflicted than themselves and are iu this
way reconciled to their own condition.
Prosperous Beyond Calculation.
The success of the institution has surpassed
the most sanguine expectations of the proprie
tors. Their patronage is constantly increas
ing. One cured patient is the means ol bringing
a score. The most learned and skilled surgeons
commend the insiituteas one of incalculable
usefulness, and its popularity is steadily in
creasing. The proprietors enlarged the ac
comodations to their present size within a few
months after commencing work, and in less
than twelve months they will be compelled to
seek new aud larger accomodations. The in
stitution was visited by many members of the
Legislature at its last session, who expressed
their determination to have passed a law em
powering the authorities of the several conn ties
of the State to appropriate funds for the treat
mentof persons in their counties who are, by
reason of deformities or other physical disease,
unable to support themselves. This institution
will soon render them able to take care of
themselves, and save the counties the expense
ol supporting them, and the proprietors arc
willing to do it for the actual cost of treatment.
This institution is an honor to Georgia and the
South and should he patronized and encouraged
far and wide.

Apl 8 4t. JEFFERSON MILLER,
Executor,
We make a few extracts from a
very excellent article in the Rural
Carolinian for the current month,
about that very much abused but
really valuable grass the Bermuda.
The article is two long to copy en
tire. It must be remembered that
I)r. St Julien Itavenal is the gentle
man who discovered the value of the
phosphate beds near Charleston. The
manner of treating his bed of half
an acre of Bermuda, mentioned in
the article, was to put fifty pounds
Ammonialed Phosphate upon it har
rowed and rolled it. The production
was at the rate of ten tons of hay to
to the acre.
If the readers of the Rural Caro
linian, who have Bermuda grass on
their lands, will enclose, or other
wise protect from grazing,a fourth or
half an acre, of land, and treat it in
the same way that Dr. Itavenal
treated his eighth of an acre, they
can determine this matter for them
| selves, not next year, but now this
j Spring. It is not too late.
If the estimate placed upon Ber
muda grass be correct, what does it
mean? It means that a wronged,
oppressed, and impoverished peo
ple, at an expense so trilling as to he
within the reach of the poorest per
son; have in their power to make
their now idle and worthless lands
yield them a moneyed return supe
rior to any which they have previ
ously at any time known.
If the subject were not too serious
for jest, it might be a matter of mer
riment to listen to the doleful wail
of those who, because they cannot
make money by rice or cotton, con
clude that it is to be made from the
land in no other way. Will they
look on the map, and see in how
large a portion of Christendom nei
ther rice nor cotton are made ? Take
Great Britain for instance, where two
thirds of her huge capital are inves
ted in the soil and in its cultivation,
yet neither rice, cotton, or even corn
(maize) are grown there.
It is said that the failure to make
rice, or cotton profitably is owing to
the unreliability of the negro. Then
why, in the name of common sense,
not put the larid in some crop, in
which the land can do its own work
with little help from either the negro
or the mule? China can raise and
manipulate tea at five cents per day
for labor. India can raise cotton
and rice at the same rate of labor;
; but we at the South cannot raise
these, or similar products at leas than
ten times the cost of oriental labor.
We must therefore, either intensify
these products or small areas of land
or abandon them altogether.
