Washington dispatch says from the

ment is design to operate against

Since our last the Beecher jury
have come into court without a ver

now done with that phase of the nas

would push the matter no further.
Now, we suppose we will be vexed
with other trials resulting from the
incidents connected with this trial—

People down South, especially
Louisianians, had learned, even be
fore the war, that golden syrups were
golden delusions, and that no descrip
tion of molasses, except that drawn
directly from sugar houses, is either
safe or palatable. Golden syrups,
sugar drips, etc., are delusions and
snares. A professor of chemistry has
examined a dozen varieties of syrups
sold at the groceries, and says that
all of them are “doctored,” made by
the “sulphuric acid process,” as fol
lows: A warm (130 degrees Fah.)
mixture of starch and water, of about
the consistency of cream, slowly
poured into a boiling solution of one
per cent, sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol
the whole boiled for some time; then
the acid is neutralized by chalk, and
the mixture is set aside. XVhen the
sediment is settled in the bottom the
liquid is dipped off and boiled down
to a syrup. This syrup may be boil
ed down to sugar, forming what is
known as grape sugar or glucose.”
Instead of starch, however, old rags
can be and are used very largely—
rags collected from the streets, or
wherever they can be found.
It is also true that the yellow,
greasy looking sugar in the market
contains a peculiar kind of clay,
found in Georgia, and shipped in
large quantities to New York and
Boston, where it goes into the man
ufacture of cheap sugar, and its
weight is clear profit, and of course
constitutes a fourth of the original
saccharine matter. This peculiar
clay is almost perfectly soluble in
water, and therefore most frequent
ers of boarding houses have
sand bars within, even like the ven
erable “father of floods.”
ADULTERATION IN EXPORTS.
The American Grocer is up in
arms about the adulteration of cheese.
It may seem a small matter to make
a fuss about, where it is not known
that of the 1,905,978 cheese received
in New York during the year ending
May 31, 1,701,328 were exported
leaving only 204,650, or about nine
percent, for our home consumption.
Other seaboard cities will probably
show the same propotion. Hence
the evil practice of adulteration is
calculated to seriously effect our ex
port trade, and may in a few months
rob us of a market which it has
taken years to get in possession. The
adulteration of food products is a
crime against the public, and in this
case has been carried to a great ex
tent in the manufacture of skimmed
milk and oleomargarine cheese.
These substitutes for an honest pro
duct are marked in such a way as to
deceive the unwary, and their pres
ence in the English market has al
ready had a disastrous result. It is
evident that all the rascality of the
country is not confined to Wall
street and politicial circles. In or
der to make a dallar to-day some of
our rural manufacturers are ready to
sacrifice an entire branch of national
industry. They need exposure and
punishment.
Southern Congressmen.— ln a
recent conversation Senator Ransom,
of North Carolina, said that he has
conversed with a number of those
gentlemen elected to the next Con
gress from Southern States who were
officers in the Confederate army, and
is led to believe that they will be
more conservative in speech and nat
ional in their actions on the floor of
Congress than very many Northern
Democrats who will be. members of
that body. The New York Times
XX ashington correspondent is author
ity for this statement. The Senator
says they are determined to avoid
everything that might be construed
as sectionalism, and will strive to
discharge their public duties in such
manner as will command the respect
and confidence of the people of the en
tire country. The Senator believes
that those who expect to see these
ex-Confederates undo the results
accomplished by the war, advoca-
ting payments of debts incurred by
the late rebellious States, or any oth
er follies so frequently alluded to in
this connection, will be egregiously
disappointed. He says some of the
prominent of this class express the
belief that they will find more dif
ficulty in curbing some of the North
ern Democrats than in disciplining
their own number. They will, he
thinks prefer to follow Gordon and
Lamar rather than hotheads like
John Young Brown.
Boyton will probably fail in Eu
rope if he applies for a patent, be
cause it is pointed out that his dress
is described by Lycophron, who
wrote in the third century B. C.
That poet explains very clearly how,
at the time of the deluge of Deuca
lion Dardanus, having his body
wrapped up in a bag made of skins,
blown out with air, like a leather
bottle, swam, propelling himself by a
single oar, toward the coast of Troy,
where lie founded the city of Darda
nia. Among the Nineveh marbles
at the British Museum there was a
has relief representing the manner
in which the inhabitants of that
city crossed the river with leather
bags inllated.
Now the Atlanta and Savan
nah papers are contending

Atlanta has the “King of Nashville,”

men of the “Paul Nerore,” which

inches in circumference, a beautiful
showy pink color and emitting a de
lightful fragrance. Can any body in
Bartow show us anything to compare
with them? If so let us hear from
them.

The only newspaper in Mississippi
that is edited by colored men pub
lishes an article in which it asserts
that the time has come for the color
ed people to take anew departure,
cut loose from the political adven
turers who, while professing all sorts
of friendship for the negro voters,
only use them to accomplish their
sinister designs, and join in with
men of character and respectabilty in
the community,who are bound to the
soil of the State by ties stronger than
offices and political emolument. The
colored voters in the South are learn
ing that their self-constituted leaders
are selfish as they are unprincipled
and that they cannot impovreish the
whites by their schemes of public
robbery without inflicting equal in
jury on the blacks, whose interests
are inseparably connected with those
of their white neighbors. It will
not be long before the influence of
the carpet-baggers over the blacks
in the Southern States will be gone,
and the colored voters will naturally
seek the advice of the best class of
white citzens in regard to the choice
of public officers, as they now look
to the class for counsel and assistance
in the ordinary affairs of life.
The letters that have recently been
written and made public by various
parties connected with the Howard
University at XVashington, seem to
establish one thing for certain, and
that is, that the institution has sig
nally failed to accomplish the work
for which it was ostensibly founded.
Like some other institution run pro
fessedly in the interest of the freed
men, it has benefitted those who
apparently assumed the work of ed
ucation the negro more than the
black man himself. A subsidized in
stitution of learning would hardly
prosper even under better conditions
than those which have all along pre
vailed there and Prof. Langston’s
exhibit of its financial standing is
about what might be expected. In
three years there was borrowed from
the Freedman’s and other savings
banks nearly SIOO,OOO, and for the
last five years there has been used
of the permanent capital of the Uni
versity not less than $35,000 a year.
In fact it is hinted that the same
elements of failure have operated
in regard to the University and the
Freedman’s bank.
Gen. Rosecrans declined the invi
tation of the New York Herald to
discuss the events of the war as nar
rated by General Sherman. He takes
occasion, however, to say that he has
before, in testimony before the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War,
and in his personal report to the Ad
jutant General of the army, explicit
ly called attention to the falsehoods
contained in an annual report by
the Commanding General of the army
(then Gen. Grant) concerning his
(Gen. Rosecrans) action. He adds
that lie has declined to correct the
callumnies concerning himself in
Badeau’s Life of Gen. Grant, because
he thought the time inopportune
when the exigencies of the ruling
party made it needful to prevent
truths from becoming known which
would tend to destroy the popularity
of the man whom, against their bet
ter instincts, its chief felt bound to
set up. The ill feeling between Rose
crans and Grant dates back to luka,
where Rosecrans won a brilliant vic
tory at a time when it was not ex
pected, and when Grant’s staff officers
thought the opportunity would be
reserved for their chief.
A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch writes a technical and some
what confusing essay on the Keely
motor, and after touching on electric
ity, aqueous vapor, hydraulic col
umns, gravity, etc., upsets the grav
ity of the scientific searcher after
truth by the following practical illus
tration of “how the old thing”—the
Keely motor—“works”: “If any
gentleman will repair to some se
cluded spot and pull gently yet firm
ly on the straps of his boots until he
finds himself rising into the air, he
will have a very definite idea of what
takes place in ‘hydraulic columns
held in suspension.’ ”
If Keely really proposes to turn
the world upside down merely with
cold water, he will no doubt fail to
make good his promises. But it is
more than probable he has not ex
posed the true secret of his invention
and his critics may possible be on the
wrong track. It is about time for
Keely to run that train through from
Philadelphia, to New York. When
he does that the scientific world will
be cured of its skepticism in regard
to his motor, whatever it is.
The Columbia (S. C.) Union Her
ald (Republican) says of the colored
electors of South Carolina: “If it
were certain that they are to remain
for any considerable time as igno
rant as they are to-day there would
not be a shadow of a party in the
United State favorable to the uni
versal suffrage experiment. It is
the hope of a speedy improvement
in their qualifications that makes
their existence as politicial factors
tolerable to the masses of the whites.
It is worth sorrow, then, that we
are obliged to believe that they are
in a great degree responsible for the
existence of so great an evil as in
competent teachers in our public
schools.
The Charleston Neivs and Courier
has not only defeated Bigamist
Bowen in the libel suit he instituted
against it, but has induced
the grand jury to indict Bowen for
murder for peculations and fraud
in office. Bowen is sustained by a
large negro Radical majority in
Charleston and upheld by corrupt
courts ; but he fights a powerful and
wisely managed newspaper in vain.
He must succumb and will be driv
en, finally, in disgrace out of South
Carolina.

President Grant seems to think
that all the charges made against
Spencer, of Alabama, relating to the
latter’s complicity in Hinds’ frauds
upon the Post Office Department,
are false and slanderous. In fact the
President’s Washington organ has
the assurance to say that the ex-sut
ler “had no more to do with
Hinds’ contracts than he would nat
urally have had with any man who
accidently lived in the same house
with him.”

GRANT AND WILSON.
In view of the recent peculiar let
ter of President Grant, who talks
and thinks of the office he fills
simply as an agency for money-get
ting, and absolutely tells the country
that he made the great sacrifice for
the first term when he surrendered
a life office of vast revenues and
accepted the presidency—in view of
this extraordinary letter is not this
last of Vice President Wilson very
remarkable? Having been charged
with electioneering for the Republi
can nomination for the Presidency,
Mr. Wilson, with Grant’s absured
and disgraceful letter before him,
says:
“To all this I reply that I indulged
with thousands of my countrymen
the idea that the presidency is a lofty
and responsible position ; that to be
elected to that office and clothed
with its vast powers, formed by for
ty millions, is an honor by the side
of which uncounted wealth must
weigh as nothing.”
The issue is not between gold and
greenbacks, says the Cincinnati En
quirer, but between greenbacks and
National Bank notes. It is not pro
posed by anybody to have an exclu
sively metallic currency. What is
desired by the opponents of the peo
ple’s money—by the money-brokers
of Wall street—is that the circulat
ing medium shall be mainly issued
by the banks of the United States,
upon a pretendedly gold basis.
When the gold flees from the coun
try, then the banks suspend, and
there is financial ruin and disaster.
This is the beautiful system that is
sought to be introduced into the
United States by the bank party.
Referring to Tweed, the New York

“this brazen thief must not be made
a hero, nor must the lawyers, whose
ingenuity is stimulated by the pay
ment of large fees from the stolen

the essential fact that Tweed is the
monumental thief of the age, and
restitution must come before mercy. ”

A NOBLE ENTERPRISE!
Atlanta Surgical Institute.
Some Facts Concerning It.
In this double sheet of the Herald, as the
caption to the leading article shows, it is our
design to present facts relative to the city and
its most prominent interests, of whatever kind
they be. Herald reporters have, for weeks,in
terviewed bankers and jobbers and manulac
turers—they have met all classes of represent
ative men of the city, and among those upon
whom their presence has been inflicted may be
named the surgeons in charge of the Atlanta
branch of the National Surgical Institute.
These gentlemen have been interviewed be
fore; they have learned to recognize a news
paper reporter as readily as a country pub
lisher docs a delinquent subscriber; they have
been bored with innumerable questions apro
pos and malapropos; they have officiated as
ushers and guides to countless Bohemains of
the city and country press who have desired to
see for themselves something concerning an
enterprise that has required large sums of
money and boundless conlidence to establish,
and professional skill ot the highest calibre to
carry forward to a successful issue, and we be
lieve that each has retired with conviction that
the enterprise is a grand one, meriting praise
and confidence.
I'ossibly what we may write concerning this
Institute may prove but a
“THHICE TOLD TALE,”
indeed we expect to repeat facts—to confine
ourselves to facts, for they are the arguments
that the people comprehend. We believe the
Institute is one in every way deserving; we
know that it has accomplished a world of good;
and if the Herat / can increase its sphere of
usefulness by speaking of it in terms of com
mendatiom it will gladly do so.
About the time the enterprise was in
augurated, in February, 1874, a
Herald reporter was ' commissioned
to obtain some items relative to it. The
proposition to establish a Syrgical Institute in
a city which could boast of a physician or two
to every square seemed the height of temerity,
and we must confess we did not feel sanguine
as to its future. Its usefulness, if successful,
promised to be extraordinary, however. It
would bring in reach of those possessed ot on
ly ordinary means the hope—nay the prospect
or certainty of cure at a minimum expense,
and so we bade God-speed to the enterprise.
At Indianapolis, some years ago, a similar en
terprise had been inaugurated. It had feught
its way onward and upward by
SHEER FORCE OF MERIT.
it had made for itself a national reputation,
and its doors were thronged by men, women
and children from every State. Its success
was unprecedented in the annals of physics or
surgery, and as its fame became more and
more wide reaching so did its prosperity, and
its Gonductorswere led torealize the necesity of
establishing branches that should offer every
advantage to the parent Institute and yet be
more available to those most needing such
services as it was so competent to render.
In accordance with the policy thus framed
by the “logic of events”—a logic as unanswer
able as unassailable, the Atlanta branch of
the National Surgical Institute was formed.
Its directors were men of large minds—men
who could and did “take hostage of the future”
—men who were skillful as surgeons and as
physicians,—men who had given careful study
to the laws of form and deformity, to health
and sickness, men who were willing to wait,if
need be, and to triumph while waiting. The
Institute was thus established.
But the lame, the halt and the blind must
needs be attracted. Their attention must
needs be called. This could only he done in
one eilicient way, and that was by calling to
the physician’s and surgeon’s aid the assist
ance of the
MODERN TAUSMANIC WAND,
printer’s ink. It was used—was used wisely
and yet profusely, and the result was an almost
endless application for treatment from persons
of low and high degree. The physicians of this
and other cities gave their cordial endorse
ment to the enterprise— patients flocked hith
erward from every Southern State, and as a
proof of the grand success which has attended
the enterprise, and that has justified its found
ers we may state that at this writing, May 0,
the patients now under treatment number
twelve hundred. Many of these are at their
homes—they have, for a longer or shorter lime,
been at the Institute—they have received such
treatment or been furnished such appliances
as were required, and they are now at home,
where Time and Nature are perfecting a cure.
In this city alone more than one hundred are
thus under treatment at their homes. Indeed,
it has been the policy of the Institute to relieve
the patient of the expense attendant upon
personal presence to as great a degree as pos
sible,—a policy that alone would commend it
to the right thinking man. The Institute has
performed
INCALCULABLE GOOD
in effecting cures of scores upon scores of be
fore, thought hopeless cases. This is a good
easily appreciable. There is another feature
connected with its policy, however, that we
have never seen mentioned and that is that the
physicians and surgeons in charge resort to
medication as little as possible. Wo are glad
to chronicle this fact, especially for the
benefit of that class who think that even a club
foot cannot be remedied without the potent
aid of physic. Oh, Galen! what wrongs are
perpetrated iii thy name!
The Institute finds most of its patients
among those who are afflicted with clubbed
l'cct, crooked, stiff knees, hip and spinal
diseases, scrofula, fever sores, hair lips, de
formed lace, sore eyes, cross eyes, diseases
of the car, piles, fistula, tumors, gravel,
diseases of the bones, catarrh, diseases of
the throat, female diseases, private diseases,
paralysis, &c. The greater number ot pa
tients are those requiring the application
of mechanical appliances in order to effect
a cure, and herein lies the especial merit of
the Institute.
A patient suffering from, say lateral cur
vature of the spine presents himself, or herself
for treatment.
AFTER A CAREFUL EXAMINATION
the simple truth will be told as to whether
or not (in all human probability) a cure
can be effected. If not, the patient will
be dismissed; if probable, appliances es
pecially adapted to that individual case
will be designed by the attending surgeon
and manufactured in the Institute. No
patent appliances are used; the patient is
not called upon to purchase this, that or the
other patent truss or brace, but he or she
is provided with one designed expressly
for his or her individual case, and this Is
true of all the patients that require the aid
of mechanical surgery. If Medicines are
resorted to as little as possible the knife is
used less, and the effort evidently is to save
rather than destroy, to build up rather than to
tear down.
As far as possible, patients are accommo
dated with board and lodging in the Insti
tute. Dormitories are provided tor about
one hundred; the rooms are airy and clean
and have a homelike appearance; the dining
room is that of a good hotel; the reception,
consultation, operating and bathing rooms,
the gymnasium, factory, and, in brief every
department seems complete, and so much of
the Institute as comes under the sway of the
matron, Mrs. Doutin, reflects credit upon her
housewifely qualities.
The Institute is not a moneyless one, risking
its all upon a single venture, and ready at ar
mament to “fold up it* tent like the Arab and
as silently steal away.” In the commercial re
ports it is quoted at
FIVE HUNDB’iD THOUSAND DOLLARS,
a princely sum, and, although we are tell
ing tales out of school, it is none the less the
fact that the “chief” of the enterprise, Dr. Al
len, is a millionaire. The staff of surgeons
and physicians in attendance, too, is com
prised of gentlemen whose reputation, so
cially and professionally, is sanupeur et Mint
reproache. We name them: Drs. G. W.
Handy, K. 11. Bowland, Wm. 11. Turner and
J. C. Allensworth, educated gentlemen and
physicians, and recognized as such by the peo
ple and the press.
To conclude we copy the closing paragraph
of an article referring to the Institute pub
lished _in the Herald Wednesday, Dec.
23, 1874. It was true then; is true
now:
“WE ENDORSE THEM HEARTILY.
The Herald feels that it has done Atlan
ta and the State of Georgia no more sig
nal service than it has done by proclaim
ing the excellence of this Institution. It
has brought hundreds upon hundreds of pa
tients to the city, and has sent them
away cured, to bless Atlanta as long as they
live.
The several editors of this paper frequent
ly received private letters, asking if we per
sonally endorse this Institution, and if we
know whereof we write. We answer all such
inqiries, here publicly—we do, heartily,
as journalists and as men, collectively
and seperately, endorse the Atlanta Sur
gical Institute as an Institution of thor
ough probity; of wealth and character; of
absolute integrity and truth; and the une
qualled facilities for the treatment of paraly
tics, rheumatics, cripples, Ac. We have
been through its several departments num
bers of times; have conversed with scores of
its patients in all stages of treatment; have
read scores of certificates, returned voluntari
ly to the Institute from grateful people it has
cured
We hence do know whereof we speak,
and we feel sure that we can carry no bet
ter Christmas present into any house-hold
where there is a person afflicted as is
above mentioned, than to carry the infor
mation which we have given in these
columns.”
