Latest reports say that Dr. Sam Hard has been deposed and lien Conley appointed post master of Atlanta. So the Dr. boot-licked the third-termer in vain. Connecticut elections go by increased major ities for the Democrats. From appearances there seems to be no doubt of Ben Hill receiving the nomination lor Con gress from the Ninth dist:ic':. Hon. A. T. Mclntyre, member of 42d Congress from Georgia, has donated his back pay to the State. It amounted to nearly SIOOO. The Democrats have elected the municipal officers in Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Barnmn was elected Mayor of Bridgeport. Conn., but old John Robinson couldn’t make it in Cincinnati. The notorious Indian, Lone Wolf, who has given much trouble to our western frontier, has been captured, with most of his band, who arc now in irons in Fort Sill. The yellow lever is prevailing in Havana to an alarming extent. A Washington special to the New York Post says: A prominent Republican said to-dav that General Spinner had been forced to re sign, because ol his greenback ideas, and that his successor is a hard money man. Col. Matt. Gallaway, editor of the Memphis Appeal, a hero of the late war, came near losing his life through an overdose of morphine administered through error, by his wife. We are glad to hear of his recovery. The people of Mexico are alive on the sub ject of railroads. The road lrom Very Cruz to the city of Mexico, is to be extended to the Pacific. A road is to be built front Leon to in tersect the Texas International at Laredo. The Carlists continue to give in their adhe rance to the new King ol|3pain. Over 180 offi cers have surrendered. The Senatorial excursion to Mexico has been abandoned. The fail ti re of a telegraph operator to give a train order on the Chicago & Burlington Rail road, on the 31 inst., caused two trains to run together and wreck both the engines; one man killed and a number hurt. A youth near Fishkill, N. Y., took arsenic and killed himself, because lie had been de tected in stealing. He left a note saying that he had been the victim ol a black mailer, who demanded pay to keep from telling something the boy had done. Beecher is on the stand, but be lias a very poor memory. He can’t remember anything wrong he has done. No doubt. According to the Mobile Register, the Pull man sleeping cars are now, and have for some time been opened freely to the negroes. White folks are warned what to expect in the way of company. The Chattanooga Commercial has been re vived. The bill for the entertainment of King Kala kau, while in New York City, was $0,286. Secessions from the Catholic to the Orthodox Greek church continue on a large scale in Russia and Poland. In consequence of the very hard times, and the lack of the necessary patronage to keep it up, the Macon Daily Star has suspended. Dr. C. S. Harris of near Rome while •sittingon his horse, married a couple, about 5 miles from the above city, in the middle of the road. John Mitchell had no right to sit in the Parliament of England. He was naturalized in the United States in 1860. __ Robbers and thieves, 300 strong, are at Camargo making preparations to ‘l’Wmty, wbo'resTncflFig^Sv^ey Western Texas. The Mount Cenis tunnel cost about $975 a yard ; and at the same rate the proposed tunnel under the English channel would cost about $30,036,000. Pinch back says that the dirtiest ras cal in Louisiana shall now represent the State in the Federal Senate. Pinch, we will venture to remark, knows him well. r arbitrators giving the Demo crats eight majority in the Louisiana Legislature, we may soon have an other revolution in the Pelican State. We hear of many-pieced quilts all around. The Marietta Journal tells of Miss Nora Green’s quilt, which has 3328 pieces—ls6o of them are in the center star. We learn from the last Gainesville Eagle, that a vein of gold was struck on College Hill in that city. If that paper had been published on Thurs day, instead of on Friday morning, weshould have been disposed to think that an“all fools’ day” hook, but we suppose we must take it for granted 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 est success. 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 ed off the train when ic was going at 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. MILTUM IN’ PARVO.

It seems the Sherman- Fitch diamonds were not relieved of duties, after all. The resolution of Congress only allowed Fitch, as a United States officer to accept of the present, hut the duties $17,520 are yet to be paid, or the diamonds are to lie in the Custom House safe until Con gress again assembles, and it is alto gether problematical whether it will relieve the duties or not An En glish company proposes to build at once the Corpus Christi and Laredo Railroad.

In Rochester, N. Y., a young doc tor lately attempted to leave an in fant upon the steps of a wealthy cit izen, but the occupant of the house, 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.” Small is the sum that is required to patronize a newspaper, and amply rewarded is its patron, I care not how humble and unpretending the gazette which lie takes. It is next to impossible to fill a sheet with prin ted matter without putting into it something that is worth the subscrip tion price. Every parent whose son is away from home at school, should supply him with a newspaper. I well remember what a marked dif ference there was between my school mates who had, and those who had not, access to newspapers. Other things being equal, the first werer always decidedly superior to the last in debate, composition and general in tell igenc e.—Dan iel I Vebster. Ex-President Davis, who is on a visit to New Orleans, sent the follow ing telegram to a meeting held in Memphis, Tenn., to express regret at the death of John Mitchell, the Irish patriot: i ’"‘.p'hb vnu I send my heartfelt sympathy in youi luuposed tribute to the patriot and devotee of liberty, John Mitchell. Together we struggled for State rights, for the su premacy of the constitution, of com munity independence; and after de feat, were imprisoned together. As my friend, I mourn for him, and re gret his death as a loss to mankind.” As ex-Congressman Lowe, of Kan sas who has just been appointed Chief Justice of Utah, was once Judge of the Cincinnati Police Court, that city delights in his advancement. The Commercial is even moved to give 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 dred and forty-eight pounds. A man-of-war takes a traveling 1 troup of Federal Senators from Gal veston or New Orleans to Vera Cruz. Gordon, Hansom, Logan and Dennis are all somewhat military in tastes and renown. Is there a military purpose that induces the government to send them abroad, or is Grant dead heading the nice tea party over the world as he did Bishop Simpson, his spirtiual adviser, who went gipsying at a cost to the people of $12,000 per annum ? Probably the world never before produced a man of more consummate impudence than Massachusetts’ Ben Butler. He is now actually employed as an attorney in a case involving $50,000. The claim, which Butler defends is against the United States for property seized by himself for the use of the northern army while in New Orleans,as an exchange says: Could any other man in America have undertaken the case ? Perhaps one ought not to mention such things, but it’s hard to keep from thinking how different the his tory of this country might have been if Ulysses S. Grunt, Benjamin F. Butler and Henry Ward Beecher had been born girls.— Ex. 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. New Advertisements.

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. SAVE YOUR MULES! ! Four -and -a - Half Horse Power ONLY §3OO 00 !
