Brokers in San Francisco, are selling the newly coined twenty cent piece to the people for twenty-live cents in currency. The Congar will case which has been before the courts of New York for a long time, has at length been decided, by the rejection of the will, on the grounds of insanity of the testator. The second Congress of the Cotton States will assemble in Raleigh, N. C., on the 13th inst. A large attendance is expected. The fourth was duly celebrated in all the principal cities in Georgia. Willis Russell, a prominent witness against the Ku Klux of Owen county, Ivy., was assas sinated through his window,on the night of the 3 l int. The great old Lexington (race liorse)is dead. Beecher’s appearance in Plymouth church on the 3d inst., was made the occasion of a per fect ovation . Shearman, one of his c unsel in the gieat law suit, led in prayer. lie hoped Plymouth would join him in pledging their fidelity to Beecher and God, hoping they would never leave him. His prayer was very fulsome. Gold is reported by government agents to be very abundant in the Black hills. A. T. Stewart & Cos., of New York, spend yearly $860,000 in advertising. They have a male and female calf in Hemp stead, Texas, which toddles about nimbly on six legs. The Governor and council, of Massachusetts, have decided not to commute the sentence of the boy murderer Pomeroy, but to let him hang. And we think they are perfectly correct. A livelier time than usual is expected soon in Mexico. The notorious villain, Cortinas, has been arrested by government authority, and is held by a small force. His followers are rallying with a view of rescuing him. A eon fiict is anticipated, and it is feared Christie, the Mexican colonel, will be worsted. A gentleman near Newnan,found a deposit of coin (silver) in the woods, evidently a war deposit. The Russian empire possesses now forty-nine training colleges for school teachers, thirty-five of which are being subsidized by the State. XV hen a New Yorker fell and broke his leg Berg remarked that he would like to take him to the hos pital if he had time, but he had a sick dog in the wagon, and he couldn’t wait. The Beecher party tried to mix Moulton with the Price-Loader testi mony as to witnessing their criminal ity between Beecher and Mrs. T. Moulton defiantly says an investiga tion of that affair is just what "lie wishes. On a Texas farm in Travis county, a planter reaped 7459 bushels of oats on 230 acres, and from thirty-four acres he got 569 bushels of wheat. On another farm he got 3982 bushels of oats from forty-six acres. Governor Allen, of Ohio, brands as false, the charge that he offered to furnish Gen. Grant 50,000 troops to settle the Louisiana difficulty. So far from such a thing he made a number of speeches in which he denounced the administration policy relative to Louisiana. An exchange says: “In the official German account of the late war the charge brought against the Bavarian troops, of having butchered the in habtants, men women and children, ofßazeilles, and which at that time was denied, is fully admitted to be true. It was done on the principal sought to be established as a rule of war at the Brussels conference.” Postmaster General Jewell has is sued an order directing that the fee for registering a letter mailed at any post office within the United States, addressed to any other post office in the United States, or to a foreign country, be fixed, on and af ter July 1, 1875, at the uniform rate of 10 cents, inaddition to the *' e <r U lar letter postage, to be ; by postage stamp. afflxed y { # £ uch office' * m Ci> ,ce ** et * at mailing Horward University. —a Washington dispatch says from the expressions of the representative colored men of that city it is inferred that the colored people will take no further interest in Howard Univer sity, holding, as they do, the opinion that the recent change in its manage ment is design to operate against their educational progress. The United States revenue agents, on the hunt for illicit distillers, do not seem to be very fortunate lately. Not a great while ago, a man named Leatherwood disappeared in the neighborhood of Gadsden,Ala.,and it is supposed he was murdered. Re cently the body of a man has been found in the Coosa river, which is be lieved to be that of Leatherwood. Very lately J. W. Findly,a detective working in the neighborhood of Dah lonega, was shot and badly wounded in both legs. This is a hazardous business. Since our last the Beecher jury have come into court without a ver dict, giving notice to the court that it was impossible for them to agree— three being for acquittal and three for a verdict of guilty. The jury was discharged, and we suppose we are now done with that phase of the nas itness, Tilton having declared he would push the matter no further. Now, we suppose we will be vexed with other trials resulting from the incidents connected with this trial— perjury,defamation of character, etc., etc., ad infinitum. The New York World has an ac count of an “automatic paper feed er,” invented by the head pressman of the New York Independent , and now at work on that paper. It is intended to supply the place of hu man in feeding paper to cylinder presses. It does the work with pre cision and reliability, and will save the Independent office S2OO per week when applied to all the presses in the office. 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 for the championship in roses. Atlanta has the “King of Nashville,” sixteen and three-quarter inches in circumference, of a delightful per fume of a lemon llavor. Savannah then comes to the front with a speci men of the “Paul Nerore,” which measures seventeen and a quarter 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. J.O. Ilanson, of Morgan county, Ga., shot his father twice fatally and fled after he died, and has not been heard from. Liquor did it. 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. MULTUM IN PARVO.

Fif ty skeletons of cats were found in her rooi as, and over one hundred dogs and cats in different stages of starva tion, which were killed to put them out of misery. No one knows what she was driving at. 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.” Governor Coke’s admirable letter, touching the condition of society on the western confines of Texas and the ravages of Cortina’s bandits, has attracted attention everywhere in Europe and America, and we will now have war or perfect peace. Grant is evidently preparing to strike an effective blow, and, we doubt not, with the approval and concurrence of President Lerdo. But with or without the assent of the excellent President of Mexico we must have peace and order on the frontier. The banishment of the Jesuits from Germany has appealed to the Catho lic hospitality of other parts of the world, and the Monastery at Quincy, Illino's, has generously tendered a refuge and home to two hundred of the expatriated priests. It is con templated to convert Quincy into the headquarters of the Order in the United States, which will invest that city with a special interest to both Catholics and Protestants. 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 Herald very pertinently asks if it would not be well for the eminent counsel to advise their client to return to the city some of the millions which he stole from the treasury, ar'd then very savagely insists that “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 public money, be permitted to cloud the essential fact that Tweed is the monumental thief of the age, and restitution must come before mercy. ” Mr. Morris, Police Commissioner of Atlanta, who was charged with arson, by a detective, has, upon in vestigation of the charge, been hon orably acquitted. 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.” jSfmo for Catalogues’.
