Prentice Punches Teruv —Wash

Terry is understood to have no discre

spirits would let him, and demanded

face for a spittoon ?” Dignity, being
thus satisfied, staggered to the train.

Valuabua Fertilizers.— At this
date, when farmers know they were the
salvation of the cotton crop last year, it
is (utile to represent the advantages of
fertilizers. They added hundreds of
thousands of dollars to this section the
present season. We therefore merely
call the attention of all to the advertise
ment of Merryman’s Raw Bone Super-
Phosphate for cotton, which is offered
for sale by Swift, Murphy & Cos., ware
housemen of this city. It is endorsed
by high authority, and has been thor
oughly tested and approved by hun
dreds. See notice.
I*o«er of Congress over Cemeteries.
Attorney General Hoar has given bis
opinion on the question whether tin
general government may build and own
cemeteries, in which to bury the nation
al dead. He says “the government may
own the cemeteries, bury dead there,
take ail necessary measures for their
protection, and in fact, exerc'se all
i ights ol ownership; but under the Con
stitution cannot exercise sovereign juris
diction over the land, except by consent
of the States in which, it is situated.—Ex
change.
The learned Puudit who presides over
the Law Department of this Govern
ment, if indeed, there is such a Depart
ment; he who declares that war is still
raging at the South, and that Military
murders are in order, is credited with
the opinion above quoted. It smacks
most strongly of genuine unadulterated
State rights doctrine, such as were put
in issue by the late war. It is refresh
ing to hear a Massachusetts Federal and
radical talk about State rights, and there
maybe something hopeful in it. We
leave the intelligent reader to reconcile,
if possible, the discrepancies of Mr.
Hoar, who says that Congress can have
supreme and unlimited control over the
property and lives of living men, and
yet is debarred from interfering with
the resting places of their bodies after
death.
Words in Favor of a Public
Benefactor. —We refer to Dr. Morris
Bernhardt, the Prussian Optician, who
has occupied Boom No. 112, Perry
House, in this city, for the past few
weeks. We say public benefactor, be
cause he has wrought more good to
those heretofore afflicted with detective
eyesight than any other optician who
ever visited our city. Dr. B. not only
has the best Glasses, hut he carefully
examines the eyes aud gives indispeusa
ble advice as to the proper selection ot
them. He has given his services to up
wards of five hundred persons since his
arrival in this city, and in no case was
not perfect satisfaction guaranteed and
given, The Brazilian Pebbles and
Australian Crystal Glass Spectacles are
peculiarly and scientifically adjusted to
every case of defective sight with accu
racy, on anew principle, which has
seldom failed to be correct. The Glasses
are excellent and the workmanship most
elegant, which goes to prove that the
Doctor, by his long expcrii nee, both iu
his native country and in this, is muster
of his profession. Citizens of all ages
flock daily to his rooms, aud we are
glad to state that his services are so
much required that in order to fulfill all
orders he is compelled to remain with us
a short time longer. To those afflicted
with weak eyes or near-sightedness we
would say, give Dr. Bernhardt a call,
for if help can be rendered, he is capa
ble of doing it. This is not only our
word, but hundreds who have already
applied and found relief, will testify to
the truthfulness of our assertion.
The Board Decides Legislators
and not Obliged to go Before it.
—The Military Board virtually caved
this morning, when it announced that
it had no authority to compel legislators
to attend its investigation of their eligi
bility. It could compel witnesses to
appear, but it could not force members
of the Legislature to answer to its call.
This is a practical admission that the
Board has no legal authority, and
chimes in well with the dispatch from
Washington, stating that the Adminis
tration did not approve its jurisdiction
over legislators.— Atlanta Const., 20th.

SCUBAT HOBMIMG, JANUARY 23.
Light on the Georgia Situation.
We have been firmly impressed since
Bullock’s trip to Washington, that there
was a full and free understanding be
tween him, Grant, and the Radical
Congress, and that Terry would be
instructed to carry out to the letter,
everything that Bullock desired to make
his scheme successful. Our faith has
never been shaken, and in consequence,
we have not built hopes for our readers
of anything like success upon the part
of our friends at Atlanta. When it was
telegraphed that Sherman was in a
tantrum, the natural inference was that
i orders had been passed over his head
without his knowledge or consent. No
j further light has been shed upon this
j point, either by mail or telegraph. But
I in the Richmond Dispatch of the 19th,
j we find '.he following special telegram
; from Washington, which develops the
situation up to that time:
General Sherman, being Interrogated this
evening as to the facts In this matter, mages
the follow! ng statement:
“ The dispatch published to-day that Gen.
Terry had convened a court martial to-day
was absurd. He has merely convened a board
of three of his officers, who are examining all
the eases of members of the Legislature and
other elected officers who may be disqualified |
for holding office under the fourteenth amend
ment and t no reconstruction acts.
“ Gen. Terry could have convened three
citizens if he had so chosen, but he thought- j
that three of his own officers would more fairly i
hear the evidence and report to him the seve
ral cases for his final action. That action will !
but be a dismissal from the Legislature or ;
other office, but Gen. Terry will act more as
an advisory party to those who may be deemed
disqualified, and probably, under his sugges
tions, they will return to their constituents. It
Is certain that a re-election will be ordered In
each cases.
“Gen. Terry has no power to arrest and try
members of the Legislature who may be
charged with perjury. They will have to be
tried by the civil courts. The reconstruction
laws were established in Georgia up to the
hour when the Legislature deprived certain
parties of their seats by reason of race and
oolor. Up to that hour all their acts were 1
legal and binding, including the election of ,
U. S. Senators. The act lately passed by Con- i
gress, and under which we are now acting,
is simply amendatory of the reconstruction
laws, so tar as Georgia is concerned, aud the
duty of Gen. Terry is simply to carry out these
amendatory acts. In my opinion, all the Leg
islature can do is to commenceto do r-ght just
where they left off and went to doing wrong.
All the laws they passed previous to that time
hold good unless repealed in the regular way ;
and as for the United States Senators, clearly
their election cannot be annulled. In a word,
the present Senators hold good, as do all the
laws, as I have before said.
“Gen. Terry Is after no offloe. He will do
his duty promptly and fairly, and my Instruc
tions to him are to study the law and act upon
Its literal sense as near as possible.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Jan. 21,1870.
The streets of the Capital are muddy |
Well, that is a brief remark. They are
quiet, too, except the noise caused by
the floundering and sloshing of a tew
adventurous passers by. That, too, is
entertaining and sage. But politics are
also muddy, and that brings us to
THE SITUATION,
which, it may be remarked, is also
muddy. “A man seeth through a glass
darkly;” and, if that be true, a fortiori,
he seeth through mud darkly. But the
situation is not only muddy, but it is in
a muddle, and I defy any man to see
through that, when all around and over
it are Radical Congressmen stuffed lull
of Radical prejudices. Nevertheless,
the “opposition" say that they see that
unllock and Terry are to be checked in
their present proceedings, and the
House organized de novo according to
law and precedent; and that Grant has
really issued orders to that effect. This
belief gives a hopeful sort of feeling to
the Democrats. It gives us rest; and,
though accompanied with many unsu
gared pills, we welcome it with glad
ness. My own opinion is that the
LEGISLATURE WILL BE ORGANIZED
Monday next, according to the fair in
terpretation of the Georgia Bill, thoueh
Grant and the Radical Congress have
really favored and directed the measures
of their satraps thus far.
They have been experimenting with
our State, in the unbridled license of
their power, without the slightest re
gard to the forms of law, and now
finding, simultaneously, that the charg
es are frivolous, and that the Press—the
bulwark of liberty—is aroused and furi
ous at the outrage, they quietly place
all tjie blame upon their minions here.
Had the charges been serious, and at all
sustained, it would have been different,
and they would have directed unseating
of such as seemed ineligible and replac
ed them with their Radical opponents.
But such a course, under the present
showing, is too violent an usurpation
even for them. However, as before re
marked, there is much mud to be seen
in and around the capital.
But Grant that the concern will be
organized on Monday, and the next
case on the docket is said by some to be
BRYANT VS. M’WHOIITER.
Here again there is some mud; but my
opinion is that the style of the case will
be
RULE VS MISRULE ;
for much importance belongs to this
contest. Bryant, though a republican
and from Maine, favors the letting alone
of the present State government, while
McWhorter is the partizan of the Radi
cals, whose avowed policy, through their
fugleman Blount, is to “roust everybo
dy from office.” If Bryant is elected
Speaker, we may then safely count
upon a retention of the present Senators,
and a general quieting down of the un
quiet waters. But the
DEMOCRATS
do not nominate Bryant. They are in
the minority and merely hold the bal
ance of power between the two factions
of the other party. This party is per
manently divided and the Republican
wing has organized as the National
Republican Club of Georgia. Joe.
Brown, Caldwell, Pope, Hulbert Bryant
and all the brains of the party are in
this club. Bryant thinks Brown is one
of the smartest men of the country,
and Brown thinks Bryant is “right
sharp” ; so it is "very natural.” Well!
I think myself that Brown is a very able
man, and conservative and reasonable
in his positions; and Bryant, too, is a
politician of no ordinary capacity.
Brown controls him. That seems a
good reason (in this emergency) for the
Democrats to cast their balance of
power for Bryant; and, it is understood
they w ill do so.
THEN COMES THE 15TH AMENDMENT;
and that is generally conceded to be at
last well enough greased with Federal
power to slip down the legislative
throats without any trouble. The good
people of the great unwashed seem to
think it is useless for them to any longer
struggle against this insidious encroach
ment oi despotism. Their only hope
now is the prevention of the plundering
and bankruptcy of the State, to build
up her national interests and let na
tional politics take care of themselves.

Terrible Tragedy in Montgome
ry.—The Montgomery Advertiser gives
the following account of a terrible
tragedy which occurred in that city on
Tuesday afternoon:
About five o’clock yesterday evening
the sharp crack of a pistol was heard on
Commerce street. Mr. W. H. Hogan,
clerk in the grocery establishment of
Tatum & Wilkinson, had been shot by
Mr. E. J. Belser. Surrounded by nu
merous friends and relatives, Mr. Hngan
expired about half past six iu the count
ing room of the store. Drs. Blount,
Weatherly, Wilson, Douglas and Hill,
were with him during his last moments,
and offered every remedy that profess
ional skill could devise.
Mi‘. Hogan did not speak after he was
shot, if we are correctly informed. The
shooting occurred at a time when there
were but few persons passing, and no
one saw the shooting except a little son
of Mr. Berry Tatum. Mr. Edward J.
Belser, who is well known in this city,
as a son of the late James E. Belser, im
mediately proceeded to the residence of
Gen. James H. Clanton, and as we are
informed, gave to him his reasons for
the act, and asked him to go with him
to the authorities to give himself up—
He said he killed Hogan for seducing
his daughter, and that be knew nothing
of the seduction until last night.
Mr. Hogan had been married but a
week, to a daughter ot Dr. Hill of this
city. He was a fine business man and
had many friends. The whole commu
nity regret the tragic affair. As it will
nndergo a judicial investigation we for
bear comment. Mr. Belser, accompani
ed by Gen. Clanton, gave himself up to
the authorities last night.

Sir— After giving to your letter of

the questions of law which have arisen

Justices of the Supreme Court of Geor
gia. I have the highest respect for the
character and attainments of the gen
tlemen who compose the Court, and
have no doubt that they would endeav
or to give me an impartial opinion but
I have learned from several s-ourcesthat
they, or at least some of them, have
been consulted individually as to the
eligibility of several of those whose
cases have been investigated and have
given opinions on the facts as sub
mitted to them. I think therefore that
in justice to ail parties the ordinary
rule of law which forbids a Judge tode
cide upon a matter upon which he has
been consulted as counsel should be fol

Goldin New York has varied during the
week from 121% and 120%, and closed last
night at 120%. jaour market little has been
effected In =ecuritie=. Money Is tight but can
be obtained on good security. Currency is
ample lor the cotton business.
Cottom.— The estimates oftheU. S. crop con
tinue between 2,500,000 anil 2,700,000 bales,
and the receipts of Columbus 65,000 bales.
One gratifying feature of the week has
been the reports ot the Columbus and
the Eagle and Pheuix manufactories lor
1869. While the Northern mills have
experienced losses, they report profiits on
the operations of some 14,000 spindlesof Bto
10 per cent. In a short time there will be in
operation at this point some 30,000 spindles.
The week has been very rainy and warm.
Yesterday was bright and warm and bad wea
ther is still anticipated.
Farmers still continue to hold for higher
prices, though a disposition to ’'turn loose" has
been manifested the past week, and seveial
large lots have been sold. The corresponding
week last year exhibited an active local mar
ket, prices lor middlings being about 27c, aud
gold in New York averaging 136. This will
account ior the difference in me receipts. The
past week 300 bales will cover the operations
of local buyers, Prices are really higher than
they were last year, for while middlings are
4@4%c less, gold is 16c less, on an average.
Planters are convinced, however, that the
scarcity of cotton (for the majority do not ered-
I it high estimates) will cause advances.
They are in good condition to hold.
It has been found that the freeJmeu
are more difficult to hire than was ever
before known Not so much land will be
cultivated, but the endeavor will be made to
so enrich the best soil as to make the yield as
much as possible. With rich lands more at
tention will be given to corn. Farmers argue,
that while one section makes good crops
another secures poor ones on account of the
weather and that, with the present labor, if is
not probable the total crop will be largely in
creased over any given year. The bales do not
always prove equal to samples, and there have
been a number iff “returnals” duringtlie week.

THE ADVANTAGES ol these Spectacles
over all others are:
1. They can bo worn with foci
ease for any length ot time at one sitting, giv
ing astonisning clearness ol vision, by candle
or any other artificial light, comfort to the
spectacle wearer hitherto unknown.!
3, Him tu select Ulrosses. Kt re
quires professional guidance even when a good
article is oilered. nr. Berunardt not only has
the best Glasses that Can bo found in the mar
ket, but carefully examines the eyes aud gives
inoispensablc advice as to the proper selection
ol them.
3. When the Eyes ache or palu,
through the action ol a bright light, such as is
reflected from the snow, sunny weather, white
paper, and in reading, writing, sewing or vivid
colored bodies, these lenses, Gy softening the
rays, effect a most agreeable sonsatiku and
give great relief.
4. I’heNe Spectacles are ttcieu&ifi
caliy adjusted to every case of defective signt
with unerrring accuracy, whether arising from
age, strain, over work, or premature decay, by
Morris Bernhardt, on a now and exae;. princi
ple, entirely his own, which has seldom failed
to be correct.
5. After Several years of public
practice, adjusting spectacles to patients
under every aspect of defective vision, as well
as experience in an extensive, long established
business in his Optical Stores, both here
and in Europe, M. Bernhardt considers it a
sufficient guarantee of his ability to supply
such glasses as are best calculated for the as
sistance of imperfect sight.
6. M. nihardt to sils?tialize him
self irorn the host ol pretenders in his profes
sion, with pride submits for inspection copies
of testimonials he has received from medical
gentlemen of the most unquestionable respect
ability aud talent in America.; also, a number
of certificates from well known gentlemen ol
distinction who have used his spectacles the
originals of all which he will be happy to show
to those who may request it. The useoi any ol
the following names or certificates h.reunto

Merryman’s Raw Bone Super-Phosphate, and applied it in a very old field,
planted in cotton. My crop suffered from the drought as all others did in this
section; but I am satisfied that the land yelded twice as much as it would have
yielded without the manure. The experiment made by me satisfies tue that il is
a valuable manure, very little inferior, if any, to Peruvian Guano.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO
John S. Reese & Cos., Baltimore, General Agents.
The Reputation of this Guano is so well established in the Bout hern States as not
to require especial commendation from'me. It is well known that Us use has realized
to the Planter a profit of from Three Hundred to Six Hundred per cent: Numerous
certificates could be published substantiating this fact.
Planters are cautioned to procure their supplies from theundersigned autDo r -
ized Agent for lire Pacific Uuauo Company, as spurious articles ,
bearing a somewhat similar name, are placed upon the markets, hence planters are
liable to be deceived.
“Pacific Guano Go’s Compound
Acid Phosphate of Lime,”
For Composting with Cotton Seed.
Thie article is ruauutactured at the Company’s newly erected works at Charles
ton, B. C., under the especial superintendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravcnel,
whose well known reputation in the South affords a sufficient guarantee of its
purity aud excellence.
It contains the same oiements of fertility as the Soluble Pacific Gunuo,
except that it is not supplied with ammonia. Uottou Seed affords the choapest
possible source of ammouia, lienee when composted in equal parts with this
urticlo the equivalent of Soluble Pacific Guano iu fertilizing propertiea is obtained
at a material saving of Cost to the Planter. It is prepared from the South Caro
lina Phosphate now so well known aud appreciated for their valuable fertilizing
properties. The compost can be easily made with but little trouble and labor,
which will be more than compensated by its economy. Particular printed direc
tions for making the above compost will be furnished by me on application.
Pacific Guano Co's Dissolved Bones.
This article is manufactured at the Pacific Guano Company’s works at Charles
ton, S. C., uuder tho direction of Dr. St. Julian Ravene) and is warranted to
be made exclusively from unburut boue, hence contains all its animal
matter and ammonia, and is therefore far superior to Dissolved Bone made from
Burnt bone or Done black, as is commonly the case. It possesses all the elements of
fertility in their very best torm and proportion, hence will not disappoint Plant
ers whether used alone or mixed with Guano.
Jno. S. Reese & Co’s Flour of Raw Bone.
This article is warranted pure unsteamed bone, reduced to the fineness of flour.
The best results have been obtained by using it in combination with.Soluble Pa
cific Guano, Peruvian Guano, and with other fertilizers.
Marietta Mills Flour of Raw Bone.
WARRANTED GENUINE.
The use of this well-known fertilizer has given full satisfaction aud it may be
relied upon for its excellence.
Mapes’ Superphosphate of Lime.
The numerous Certificates showing the successful results from this fertilizer
during the past season warrant me iu recommending the same to the planting
Community.
PERUVIAN GUANO.
The supply of genuine Peruvian Guano is nearly exhausted aud early applies,
