And now the farmers put sick

Two women have been traveling

and occupy a dismal cell in jail.
There seems to be some chance
that the missing boy, Charley Ross,
may one day be found, from hints
thrown out by Mrs. .Mosher, the

of being the abductor of the boy.
Mrs. Mosher’s story points strongly
to the possibility that the abducted
child is still alive, but kept out of
sight by the confederates of the dead
burglars.

it is their delicate thinness. In
several of the samples there are thir

and In the heaviest specimens there

Poor Carlotta. Mrs Annie
Brewster writing to the Philadelphia
Bulletin, gives a shocking account of
of the widow of Maimilllan, She says
loving friends have sent forth beau
tiful fables concerning her condi
tion, “but unhappily the reality is as
revolting as the romance is attractive.
The Empress, instead of being bet
ter in health, is worse, and her death,
it is believed, is close at hand. For
some time her insanity has taken
the most brutish form. She never
leaves her bed, and has ail the habits
of an animal. The poor Queen of
Belgium has been unable for two
years, to bear the disgusting sight of
unhappy Carlotta, but now, as she
cannot live many months, the Queen
goes constantly to her. This is the
sad truth.”
We do not believe one word of the j
cock-and-bull story of the attempted j
rape of two little girls in Conyers,
by J. T. Heard, of Atlanta. The
whole story is balderdash. We don’t
believe a man, selected by such a
firm as Hunt, Rankin and Lamar, to
do their business, would be such a
fool as this charge makes Heard
appear. The fact that Heard en
deavored to get the mother and
children to meet him together, for an
explanation (which the mother re
fused) ought to be satisfactory evi
dence that he did not attempt out
rage. The whole thing looks fishy,
in our opinion. Dr. Jones seems to
have been a very poor agent in the
matter, or he would have hearkened
to the request of the young man,
Heard, to give the mother perfect
satisfaction relative to the charge.
We do not believe any jury Can be
found who will convict this man of
an attempt at rape in an open room
brilliantly lighted, leading into a
hall in which there were several
ladies and gentlemen who were con
stantly passing his door. It is too
absurd. ___
Ellijay must be in a remarkable
healthy region of country. TheCow
rier tells us a story of a doctor in that
vicinity, who became tired of doing
nothing, and getting out of patience
waiting for somebody to get sick,
thought he would manufacture a
case. He invited a young man to
his house to eat peaches, hoping they
would make him sick, and of course
he would be called upon to pre
scribe, but unfortunately, he not only
lost his prospect of a fee, but lost his
peaches also, as, after eating between
a peck and a half bushel of them, the
young man seemed to in as good
trim as ever, in fact, eating half green
peaches was his forte. The doctor,
we suppose, is still in dispair.
A curious pension case has just
been decided in Washington. A
colored woman, formerly a slave,
applied for a pension. Her son en
listed January 11, 1861, and died on
the 27th of March of the same year.
The Commissioner decided that the
applicant was not free at the date
when the pension occurred, and that
if any one could really take a pen
sion it would be the master of the
former slave. His mother could not
be considered a dependent relative,
because she was a slave.
COTTON TAX SUSPENDED.
Executive Department, )

lo Hon. Wm. L. Goldsmith , Comp
troller.
General:
Whereas, a petition has been pre
sented to me by a number of the cit
izens of Morgan county, representing
that the tax receiver of said county
has included in the digest of taxes
returned by him for the year 1875, as
taxable, all "cotton held by farmers
and producers on the first day of
April last, and has required said
farmers and producers to return the
same as taxable; said petition pray
ing that an order be grantad by this
department suspending the collec
tion of said tax until the next
meeting of the general ssembly;
and,
Whereas, In the opinion of many
persons, it was not the intention of
the Legislature in enacting the act of
1875, to impose a tax upon products
in the hands of the producers there
of; and it being a matter of the first
importance to producers that the in
tention of the Legislature in this re
gard should be clearly understood,
and that they should not be unreason
ably limited as to the time within
which they may dispose of their pro
ducts, and thus be placed to that ex
tent within the power of speculators ;
and,
Whereas, the public interest can
suffer no injury by granting the pray
er of said petitioners it is, therefore,
Ordered, that the comptroller in
struct the several tax collectors of
this State to suspend the collection of
the tax upon cotton and other pro
ducts in the hands of farmers and
producers on the first day of April
last, until the next meeting of the
general assembly of this State.

Yearnings for the Governorship—ln De
fense of Gen. Gartrell—His Modesty and
His Strength—A Slap at Colquitt, Harde
man and James—Georgia's Next Gover
nor.
Editors of Chrontcle and Sentinel:
I admire the audacidity of your
correspondent, “Devil’s Hoof.” He
evidently has a future before him
crowned with infernal posibilities. I
have read the letters of Geo. Alfred
Townsend, “Mac.” Don Piatt, and
and other journalistic lights,but they
are the merest milksops by the side
ofMr. “Devil’s Hoof.” D. H. (Idon’t
mean dead-head carries a bigger
“tote” than any quil driver of my
accquaintance. Of course lam well
aware that guess work is the main
thing in journalistic correspondence.
Any mau can jot down facts , but it
takes your brilliant, exceptional,
phenomenal writer to make those
happy go-lucky, jumpety-jumpety,
statements which carry instant con
viction, and utterly shame the tardy
proceses of induction and deduction.
I admit all this, and yield to Mr.
“Devil’s Hoof” the humble meed of
my bedazzled admiration,but I must
beg leave to make a few points in re
ference to D. H’s recent letter in the
Chronicle & Sentinel. “There is no
man that yearns more to be Governor
than General Gartrell. He wants it
and wants it all over.”
That’s what D. H. says,and I bow
to the great discoverer. But let us
investigate a little. During the last
twelve months good citizens and
gocftl papers in various sections of
the State have voluntarily suggested
Gen. Gartrell as the proper man
for our next Governor. These are
significant straws, but they do not
appear to have had any effect upon
Gen. Gartrell. If he yearned to bo
Governor, he kept it to himself, if
he “wanted it, and wanted it all
over,” he certainly had a queer way
of manifesting it. According to all
accounts and my own observation,
the General remained at home work
ing for the interests of his clients,
just as he has done ever since the
war. He didn’t run about over the
State making speeches. He didn’t
attend every Sunday School celebra
tion in his vicinity. He didn’t pay
a $1 apiece for 75 cent dinners, ala
James. He made no Commence
ment addresses. He wrote no letters
to the papers. And he has never
trotted about among the farmers as a
self-constituted Inspector and Advi
sor-General. Gen. Gartrell has done
none of these things, but some time
ago he w r rote a letter to that sterling
patriot,ex-Governor Jenkins, tender
ing him his cordial support if he
should consent to become a candidate
for the Governorship. That was a
strange thing for a man to do who
yearned to be Governor and wanted
it all over.
I have talked with a good many
people in my travels, and they all
agree that Gen. Gartrell would make
a first class Executive. And a ma
jority of the Democratic voters of
Northern and Middle Georgia, unless
lam very much deceived, have al
ready made up their minds to sup
port this able and distinguished states
man at the polls. To be brief, Gen.
Gartrell has done everything since
the w r ar that has been commended in
other Southern patriots, and he has
not done one thing that an enemy
could carp at as savoring of the dem
agogue and the office-hunter. Add
this to his previous record and what
more could be wanted ? I speak as
one of the people, and I can consis
tently say that I w r anttosee Gartrell
our next Governor because he is em
phatically a people’s man. He is in
the hands of no clique. He belongs
to no ring. There is no codfish aris
toctracy about him, and no man is
freer from all suspicion of the usual
corrupt practices of professional poli
ticians. Morally, intellectually and
politically he is the peer of any man
in Georgia, and I am willing to ven
ture the prediction that the people
will elect him Governor by a rousing
vote in 1876.
Mr. “Devil’s Hoof”will,I trust,for
give me for running counter to his
views, and as he is evidently a “myr
iad-minded” individual, I entertain
the hope that we willsoonbefighting
under the same banner, fighting dem
agogues and gubernatorial yearners,
wheresoever they may be found.

National Surgical Institute.
Mu. Editor:
I would be glad to lay the following facts
before the public, and in doing so 1 feel that 1
am discharging a duty I owe to the alllicted
and deformed:
For several years I had been suffering Jrom
derangement ol the digestive organs and ma
larious affections, which had undermined my
constitution to such an extend that I was very
much reduced in strength and energy. These
troubles, in themselves, were had enough, hut
were nothing to what followed.
Some two years since, 1 was attacked with
r is tula ill ano, and though I made use ol* every
means of relief within my reach I was gradu
ally getting worse. The disease had run its
course only some six months, when from suf
fering and the constant drain upon my physic
al system, I was reduced to a mere skeleton,
and life had become a burden, which I would
gladly have laid down, and expected then soon
to have to do so (though 1 am a young
man) unless I could secure speedy relief.
I was in this deplorable condition on the Ist
of February, 1874, when I learned that the
National Surgical Institute of Indianapolis,
Ind., had established a Branch in Atlanta
Georgia, and as a last resort, though, with hut
little hope, I applied there on the 2nd ot Feb
ruary, 1874. I was led to take this step by the
undoubted character of the references they
give, which includes all the State officers of
Indiana, from Gov. Hendricks tfc>wn as well as
many of the most prominent citizens of the
State.
I began to mend almost at once, after put
ting my case in the hands of the Surgeon in
charge of the Atlanta Institute, and though I
had several relapses, caused by the malarious
disease, I can say that my improvement was
continuous until I left the Institute, two
months after entering it entirely cured, and I
never have had better health in my life than I
have had since then. The last ten days I was
at the Institute I gained flesh at the rate of one
pound per day, No one who has suffered as t
have, (and there are thousands who do from
the same cause,) will wonder that I should
feel grateful to those who have been the in
strument in God’s hand of saving my life, re
lieving me from suffering, and restoring me to
health, or that I should wish to point others to
where I have found relief, that they may also
be restored. I would also say a tew won’s
with reference to the institution and its man
agement.
The Home Institution, in Indianapolis, Ind.,
was lounded some litteen years since, and is
now operating with a chartered capital of
$500,000, which is fully employed to the vast
business in which the proprietors are engaged.
Besides the Home Institution, and the Atlanta
Branch, they have a very flourishing Branch
in San Francisco, Cal. They claim to have
successfully treated over 40,000 cases, and
among this number has been every conceiva
ble deformity, and all kinds of chronic disea
ses, including deformities ol the face, hands,
legs, feet and spine, diseases of the joints, liip
and spine, paralysis, piles, fistula, fever sores,
stiff joints, clefts paltes, hare lips, cross anu
sore eyes,catan h,rheumatism,female diseases,
private diseasese, Ac., Ac.
They have extensive shops for the manufac
ture of the varied apparatus and appliances
.they make us of, and employ over eighty men
as surgeons and skilled machinists and assis.
tants in the Institution. Thier patients come
Jrom every State in the Union, and from the
Canadas and Central and South America.
THE ATLANTA BKANCH.
The large number of patients visiting the
Home Institute from the Southern States led
to the establishment of a Southern Branch.
Alter thoroughly canvassing the South and
the interest of the afflicted and weighing all the
advantages and disadvantages, Atlanta was
chosen, from the fact of its central location,its
easy accessibility by Railroads centering
there; its great altitude and healthfulness; its
sulendid Hotel accommodations, schools,
churches and amusements, the great business
energy and thrift of its people, and its mag
nanimous hospitality to visitors, so character
istic of the South. The Building occupied is a
new brick four stories high, built for the pur
pose, and is located on the north side ot the
Union depot opposite the passenger entrance,
ine basement is occupied with the shops, en
gine room, movement and vacuum cure rooms,
apparatus room, lady’s fitting room, bath
rooms, dining room, reception, oflice rooms,
and parlors, the balance of this story and the
next are occupied as sleeping apartments lor
the patients which, together with a number of
rooms in a adjoining building afford accommo
dation lor about one hundred patients. These
rooms are all fitted up and furnished in first
class style, and are as comfortable as at any
ll< tel m the State, and it is sufficient to say
that the table is fully up to the balance ol Jthe
House and the charges for board quite moder
ate. The appointments and appliances made
use of In the treatment of deformities are
complete in every respect, no expense being
spared in this direction, and so far as my ob
servation went,the surgeons arc fully prepared
to do all and more than they proposed to do.
During the two months I remained at the In
stitute 1 saw all the deformities and diseases
they prouose to cure under successful treat
ment. I"also saw many of their old patients
who had bean to Indianapolis, and ihee, with
the new ones, express the utmost satisfaction
with their treatment.
Though this Branch has only been in opera
tion a little over a year, if lias now under treat
ment, over one thousand patients, coming from
Tennessee, Virginia, North anti South Caroli
na. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, and our own favored State, is well
represented. Owing to the rapid facilities
they have for manufacturing apparatus, and
the vast number of eases treated, they arc
prepared to do their work much lower than it
can be done at any similar Institution in the
land. While there, I saw no case turned away
from inability to pay. While the Surgeons are
doing so much for humanity, there is one fea
ture of their work not so pleasant to comtem
plate—l refer to that class of cases who either
from the nature cf their disease or delay in
having it attended to, are beyond the reach of
human aid. It is truly sad to see these unfor
tunates, when the examining Surgeon has told
them that their cases are incurable. No doubt
ful or hopeless cases are undertaken. The
Surgeons are men of vast experience in the
specialties they treat, and of undoubted skill
and ability, (as thousands are ready to testify,)
aud are assisted by an ample corps of ma
chinists and apparatus litters.
To those who may contemplate a visit to the
Institute I would say that they will find these
men not only skilled and experienced In their
profession, but warm hearted, genial gentle
men, who will do all in their power to make
their stay at the Institute not only profitable
but pleasant.
It will give me pleasure to answer inquiries
with reference to the Institute either person
ally or by letter. Address
