Montgomery end the Georgia Cen
tro! Uailroad.
LETTER FROM MR. WADLEY,
Central Railboad and Basking .
Company of Georgia, J
Savannah, Ga.,’October 11, 1870. )
Chat. T. Pollard , Esq., President Wes
tern Railroad, Montgomery , Ala.:
Dear Sir—On nay recent visit to Mont
gomery, I was somewhat surprised to
liod a feeling existing with your mer
chants against the Central Railroad of
Georgia, on account of our having no
throughwate via the Montgomery and
Eufaula Road either to Savannah and
points north, or from Troy to Mont
gomery.
Passing over the various phases in
the Montgomery and West Point, and
the construction of the Western Rail
road, wherein our Company rendered
material aid to each, 1 desire" to call
your altention to the fact that in the
dual negotiations between the Georgia
Kailroaa and our Company, by which
the two lines became equally interested
in the Montgomery and West Point
and Western Railroads, Judge King
stipulated that there should be no
through rate to the Chattahoochee river,
going East or West, except over the
then Montgomery and West Point
Road. I mention this not as being un
reasonable on the part of the Georgia
Road but to show that we are not wholly
responsible for the failure to make a
through rate over another line.
In regard to a through rate between
Troy and Montgomery, I have only to
remark that the Mobile gnd Girard Road
has been built wholly by capital in the
interest of Columbus, and it would, we
think, be unreasonable of others to ask
of its managers for a policy tending to
draw trade from instead of to that city.
Such a policy should only be asked if
each city were equally interested in its
construction, and it the citizens ol
Montgomery will now come forward
and pay for one-half the investment
that has been mado for building the
Mobile and Girard Roqd, I will advo
cate and believe it will be conceded
that the two citie3 shall have equal
privileges in every particular.
I also understand that there ia some
complaint us to the charges on the
Western Road since the purchase of the
Montgomery and West Point Road,
made by the Western Railroad Compa
ny, and as our Company, with the
Georgia Railroad, may bo held respon
sible for the policy of the Western Road,
I desire to say, in answer to those that
think your tariif unreasonable, that it
is my opinion, and I pledge my support
to the proposition, that if any responsi
ble party will pay back to the two lines—
that is, the Georgia and Central Rail
roads—the money they have actually
paid out, with interest on it at seven
per cent, from the date of payment,
and assume the responsibilities of the
two Companis, on account of the West
ern and Montgomery and West Point
Roads, then tile whole of our interest
shall be transferred, and, consequently,
the entire management and control pass
from us. We have no desire or wißh
to oppress, or charge exorbitant rates,
but we do feel that there is an absolute
necessity to charge rates that will main
tain the road and pay the interest on
its debt, which, even now, is not equal
per mile to new roads that are being
built at the present time in your State.
Very respectfully your ob’t serv’t,
Wm. M, YVadlky, President.
Tnic history of the last days of the
French Empire, and that of the last few
months of thp Radical party, bear a
strong rcßcmblanco, both going to show
that no hour is more dangerous than
that of gupreme triumph —that institu
tions and causes which have withstood
the shock of armies inevitably reach a
time in their history when a straw can
overthrow them—
Like ships that have gone down at sen,
When heaven was all tranquility.
It was at the very period when Na
poleon had achieved the great and
leading object of his reign in securing
the triumphant indorsement of the
French people to his dynasty, and its
perpetuation in the person of his son;
when France was at the acknowledged
head of civilization, and ali the old
European imbroglios which have dis
tracted the Empire wore in a promising
way of resolving themselves to its ad
vantage, that the small wave arose
which Napoleon could not stem, and
France slipped from Ijis grasp, burying
him beneath the ruins of the Empire.
So it has been with the Radical party,
vet supreme in every department of the
Government. The Radicals in Con
gress last year enacted their final enor
mity when they placed all State and
local elections in charge of the Central
Government, and boldly acknowledged
their intention to divert a portion of
Government revenues, by means" of an
assessed tax upon officeholders, to the
perpetuation of their power ; assumed
the right to admit or reject any repre
sentatives who might be sent to repre
sent constituencies in the councils of
the government. With, in addition to
these advantages, a perfect and com
plote organization, both civil and mili
tary, throughout the Union, and the
“greatest soldier of the age” at the
head of all, surely it would appear as
though the last nail had been driven in
an enduring throne of power; and yet,
in a few-months, it topples to its fall
and all the fine schemes break like cob
webs in the wind.
Both of these episodes are fresh ex
staples of how history repeats itself,
and how unstable are all the designs of
humanity. Napoleon has jnst given
point to the lesson in a recent inter
view, where he uttered with a sigh that
bitter axiom, I'homme propose maiaDieu
dispose ; and Gen. Grant growling in
hi* Cabinet, and slamming the White
House door in the face of recalcritant
supporters, fills out a parallel. —New
Orleans Times.
The Bible Revision in England.
l'he revisers of the New Testament
in England have just finished their
tourth session. The Pall Mall Gazette
says: “We aro assured that tho interest
in the work is increasing with each
meeting, and the progress such that
there is now every reason to beliieve it
will be completed within, a reasonable
time There is, however, a clear in- i
tention on the part of the revisers to do j
their work thoroughly, and to subject it j
when done to a careful reconsideration, j
No attention, therefore, ought to be ;
paid to reports of what may havo been
understood \o have been decided on.
Nothing will be really settled till tho
second and final revision, lhe attend
auce of members is good.”
It will interest our readers to learn
that iu no previous European war have
the purchases of American arms and
ammunition been to so large an amount.
All the manufacturers of arms in this
country are kept employed night and
day, and it is stated by a prominent
New York manufacturer that there was
not a purchasable cartridge iu the
United States last Saturday night. The
supplies constitute the principal cargo
of the French Trans-Atlantic steamers,
outward bound, and are almost entirely
consigned to tho French authorities.
Our Credit Ruined.— Bullock says
very truthfully, though he did not so
intend it, that The Constitution has
ruined the credit of Georgia, in the
New York money market. It is the
violated Constitution of the State that
has destroyed our credit, and not The
Constitution, of which Colonel Avery
is the head man. Men will tell the
truth sometimes. —Monroe Witness.
Tha New Orleans Republican notices
the arrival at that port of nine hundred
immigrants, nearly all ot the laboring
classes. Os these, five hundred were
bound to Texas and the rest were going
up the Mississippi. These men were
undoubtedly sent out by the efficient
Texan agency in London. The Louisi
anians wonder why immigrants do not
stop in their State. Perhaps if they
took pains to make theii existence
known, the wonder would cease.

The Social Revolution Economy.
We doubt whether a large portion of
the people of Virginia yet fully under
'•a.id the nature of the social revolution
t .at *,-i» in' cn upon us, and the system
ol dou. ; economy which we must
adopt to ommodate ourselves to it
and to protect ourselves from its conse
quences.
We have not yet abandoned the sys
tem maintained under slavery, and
have not fully cut loose from the ex
travagance and improvidence that is in
culcated.
Under the new order of things to
which we must submit, economy should
prevail in everything. The farmer
must be sure that be not only makes a
support for his family, but that he
makes money enough to pay taxes and
keep his place in repair. He has no
such resources as the increase of slave
property to make up any deficit which
neglect, improper tillage, or wasteful ex
travagance may occasion.
The first great pointis to diminish the
area cultivated, that it may be tilled
thoroughly upon a system that will im
prove the land.
No man should undertake more than
his means, or more than the force he
can employ will enable him to cultivate
exactly in that style. The holding of
land exceeding this area is also unwise,
and the owner of such excess should
lent of sell it as soon as possible.
To hold land that you cannot culti
vate is almost as unwise as to hire
hands when you have no land to till.
As an indispensable adjunct to the
proper tillage of this reduced surface,
the farmer should keep only so many
horses, cattle, Ac., as he needs and can
well support—keep fat, stfong and ser
viceable. Stalling and soiling should
be much resorted to—first, because a
diminished area curtails pasturage ; sec
ondly, the importance of making a
plenty of manure is so great that no
wise man will allow his to roam over
the old fields.
The neglect of stock gives the farmer
neither good crops nor good stock, and
13 criminally wasteful.
There must be no idle ones to feed—
no supernumeraries. Nothing should be
wasted ; and our people should give up
the old Virginia maxim of selling every
thing they can’t eat, and adopt as near
ly as they can the Yankee rule of eatiDg
what they can’t sell! With the view
of keeping the whole commissary de
partment, as well as the culinary, under
the. immediate supervision of the house
keepers, the store rooms and houses
should be so arranged as that hands
heretofore a little too dainty may per
form many duties which gave hereto
fore not only involved expenditure, but
great waste.
There is really little about the home
stead that the female members of a
family in middle circumstances may
not do without damage and without
shame. The milking of a cow may be
set down as a little trying, but it is
certainly easily for men to milk.
If the washing be too heavy, is it
not far better to put it out in the neigh
borhood than to hire a woman possibly
with two or more children, thus increas
ing the mouths to feed and the cost of
living ?
With the surrender of a little pride,
and a full conviction of the necessities
upon us, there are hundreds of families
which, by adopting these ideas, may
not only live better and happier, but
increase each year their income and
the productiveness of their lands. Let
any man consider how little his own
family consumes compared with the
hired persons aA their wastefulness
and deatructiveWss.
Let him think how neat things might
be kept by his own family—how much
would be saved—and how admirably
well would his supplies hold out un
der the system of vigilant economy
and the employment of a limited force
to cultivate well a limited surface.
This is the system to multiply crops,
to retrench the cost of living, and to
maintain personal independence. When
our people come to adopt it with energy
and vigilance they will have accepted
the revolution entire, in all its details.
It involves the necessity of the family
putting its hands to much that has been
left to others, and there is a plenty of
the virtues of fortitude and persever--
ance.in the State to meet this necessity.
A grand moral effect of a system of
industry and self independence like
this is that it will not tolerate idleness
and vagabondism.
The idler and the drone cannot linger
amongst an industrious and frugal
population like this. Such a people must
increase in wealth, and must enjoy con
tentment —must swell the power and
increase the dignity of the State.
Domestic economy like this will purge
the State of useless people and strength
en the securities of order, property,
life, and public virtue.
Not Used to Jury Proceedings.—
As we were leaving the United States
Circuit Court room on Wednesday eve
niiig, our attention was called to Uni
ted States Deputy Marshal Cox, who
had been suddenly summoned by a
juror, (who was locked up for the time
being in the Holcombe forgery case,)
upon a plea of pressing emergency.
The courteous Deputy obeyed the ca'l,
when the juror accosted him through
the half opened door with the remark :
“I say, Mr. Marshal, I missed my
dinner to day. Did, by Jupiter, and,
no nonsense about it. I’m getting iu
fcrnally hungry, and I want you to
send over to the Screven House, right
away, and tell them to put me up a
bully big supper, about enough for two,
you understand ; and when it comes,
I’ll foot the bill. You can’t tell how
hungry I’m getting.”
May be you would take the balance
nut in soap,’ responded the imperturba
hie Deputy, as a broad grin stole over
his expressive.featuris.
“Soap, thunder! What the blazes
do I want with soap ?” rejoined the
juror, I’m hungry, I tell you, and I
want something to eat, and . lots of it.
More than that, I want it right away.”
In few, bnt concise words, the Mar
shal informed him that such an unheard
of proceeding was clearly “agin the
rules,” and that whan the jury had
brought in their verdict, then, and not
till then, the jurors might preparo them
selves for a good square meal.
“But I say, Mr. Marshal,” inquired
the astonished juror, “you don’t mean
to say that yer is the law ?”
The officer politely assured him that
such was the fact.
“It is, eh ?” snarled the juror, “then
all I’ve got ter say is, that verdict has
got to come.” — Savannah News.

beyond question a most unfortunate
person. It is a show gotten up in part,
as we learn, by Mr. Barber, the highly
popular and respectable Radical Sher

one, and the exhibition does not pay as
well even as that of the Albino Chil

NOTE 2.
Eds. Sun: In my first note I notice
a typographical error. Make it read
one or one thousand dollars, (not one
on one thousand) in gold. I endeavored
to establish a permanent basis in note
No. 1, and to show the practical feasi
bility of establishing the “Cotton States
Agricultural Congress,” making Col.
Jones and humble Adolphus Snooks
equals, at least, in the grand beneficiary
reßnlts. My object, briefly, was to
show that the former had the means
in his own hands of ’controlling
the price of his industry —to
emancipate himself from the clutches
of the “future delivery man” and the
soulless “two and a half per center.”
To show that he could loan himself 90
per cent, of his own crop without the
intelligence of the precious two and a
half per center, the latter gentleman, as
a financier, controls not only the weans,
but alas ! the brains of the poor farmer;
making use of him and his “raw mate
rial” as a bungling commodity, enrich
ing himself upon both branches. For
alas !
It’s a joke to unfold
The beauties of gold.
I will now attempt by figures (“they
say they never lie”) to show that one
half of one per cent, will run the ma
chinery handsomely, at the same time
purchasing a vast amount of property,
mutually making Adolphus Snooks and
Col. Jones the same grand benefi
ciaries.
First, we will suppose the crop of
1870, to be in round numbers three
million (3,000,000) bales of cotton—we
class it as “C,” not as “A,” giving it
the lowest tendency 20c., or one hun
dred dollars ($100) per bale —this
makes a grand total value of three
hundred million dollars ($300,000,000.)
Take from this amount one half per
cent, and you have the snug little sum
of one million five hundred thousand
dollars to commence on.
Ist. We want a Capftol with offices,
etc., a good little snug house for “wool
headed” farmers at $75,000. (Good
chance for Kimball & Cos.)
Next a good warehouse at New Or
leans, cost $40,000
One at Savannah, G-a 40,000
One at Mobile 30,000
One at Charleston 30,000
One at Galveston 30,»e0
One at Wilmington 25,000
One at Bruuswiok 25,000
Other smaller ports, if necessary 70,0'0
Next salary of President $ 5,000

“ “ Secretary 2,000
“ 11 Treasurer 3,000
“ “ Clerical force 8,000
“ Stationery, printing and incld’ls, 00,000
“ Salary of agents (three at each
port), to wel-h, class and dispose
of crop, and their assistants 75,000
Pay and mileage of members elect 150,000
Amount lor location, sites, &0., for
buildings 200,000
Pay 01 reporter, clerks, Ac., of Assem’y 20,000

baggers and othsrthleves 59,000
Grand total oxpeadltures *1,500,000
Oue million live hundred thousand
dollars !
What! all this done in oue year—on
one crop ? Possible ? Doubly so, my
friend. Commenced operations upon
the faith of the farmer—established a
capital not towering to the heights of
glory, like the “Bullock Kimball Ope
ra,” of Atlanta; but similar to the old
“Widom House,” by courtesy called
the Capitol of the United States, now
a-days. I mean the original edifice,
the old Capitol at Washington, where
was once wont to gather the old fogy
Democrats, in honest jeans breeches,
to make in wisdom’s name, just and
•wise laws for the oppressed of' all na
tions; not the present sanitary Gumbo-
Chaffee institute, whenever the monkey
attempts to ape the a9s by vociferovis
braying for a little pap. We have
property among us in the way of exten
sive warehouses to the amount of $250,-
000, with an additional of $200,000 of
land on which to locate these edifices, a
small floating cap tal with which to
keep us assured, s»y only $500,000.
about $59,000 to pay U. S. Grant & Cos.
for the use of the '“sages” to enlighten
us as how best to exercise the honest
ballot. But, alas! 1 forget. “Gumbo-
Chaifee” has naught of a voice
in this small affair, consequently we
can do away with the latter theme en
tirely, and bestow, if we see proper,
this amount where it properly belongs.
To the memory of the sainted dead,
in erecting in front of our new
capitol a handsome monument to
the memory of the lamented R. E.
Lee; the man who only lived for bis
country; the acknowledged leader of
those who endeavored to sustain, by the
force of arms, those heriorable and
sainted principals inculcated and era
bodied in the old Constitution of the
Untied States.
Recapitulation of Beneficiary Results.
—l. It saves the larmer the 2 per cent,
he is forced to pay monthly to his sac
tor, relieving him entirely of the two
latter leaches. 2. It gives him a chance
to pitch his crop, with an accurate as
surance of a fixed price upon his staple,
allowing him to hire his labor with a
certain degree of safety. 3. It enables
bim to have the use of 90 per cent, of
his entire crop, saves him storage and
enhances the value of his lands. He
helps to force the country ,to resume
specie payment, and contributes to the
general prosperity of the whole world.
For when cotton becomes stable and
the consumer knows the stipulated
price he has to pay, he can alike regu
late the pay of the poor but respefcted
operative, with the same assurance that
he can demand so much for the sale of
manufactured goods. Lastly he be
comes a stockholder in our one million
dollars icorth of property.
Truly then, is not "Cotton King.”

P. B.—l would be glad to hear from

of necessity for a change, or certainly
the country is ruined. When the star
of the former is set, alls up then, with
the balance of the commercial world
would not David Dickson, of Handcock,
or Col. R. .T. Moses, of Columbus, give

Blackstone-Ever Fresh and New
—One other word, and I have done.
It is perfectly marvelous how, in these
four volumes of elementary law, com- j
prising at most some 1,800 pages less j
than the product of one session of a j
State Legislature, so much variety of j
practical learning has been compressed. |
There is hardly a judicial question of j
contemporary occurrence on which i
some light is not thrown, or some ref
erence given to the -source from which
knowledge may he gained. . Hence is
it, for this universal applicability, that
these commentaries, even for practical
purposes, are aiways useful. It has
been his lot who writes these rambling
notes, in which some venial egotism j
may be tolerated, to read with pleasure |
and gratitude Blackstone at distant
periods of life, and with widely differ
ent associations. Asa lad fresh from
college, feeling with distrust the weight
of the armor he was doomed to wear j
for the struggle of life ; as a young man
in a distant land, under the guidance of j
an eminent lawyer, who solaced a sort i
of diplomatic exile by revising the stu- j
dibs of his youth, and loved “Black- i
stone” dearly (I recollect reading the
“cannons of descent” in sight of the
snowy peaks of Toluca, wrapped in my
great coat and warming my feet by the
"vertical sun;) again, when myself in
turn an old man, in regions more re- j
mote, guiding the studies of those who
were dear to me ; and now, within the
last few months or -weeks, when the i
race of life is run and lost and the work
. done. Always with pleasure, always
with profit, always with gratitude !
More than 28 per cent, of the whole
criminal class in this country cannot
read or write, and no less than 97 per
cent, have never learned trades. Ig
norance and idleness are fruitful sources
of crime. “Learning a trade” is not
fashionable among American youths.
They prefer to be clerks, or something
of that tort.

Affidavits have recently been tiled,
before the North Carolina Legislature,
which exhibit the nature of the out
rages to which President Grant lent his
sanction in the interview with Mr.
Brown. Lucien H. Murray was seized
by Kirk’s militia and twice hung up by
the neck to a tree, in order to make
him confess his alleged complicity in
the killing of Wyatt, outlaw. This was
only a part of the violence resorted to
in this case. D. Yf. Weedon was ar
rested without a warrant or any specific
charge made against him, and shot at
by one of Kirk’s militia merely for tell
ing him that there was danger of his
shooting someone. He was manacled
in a most brutal manner, and denied
even water to drink. George 8. Rogers
was carried to a tree and a rope put
round Hl** neolr, in order to maka him
confess his knowledge of a murder.
This is only a small part of the violence
and brutality practised by the State
militia, to sustain whom General Grant
sent down Federal troops to North Car
olina. Such are the uses to which the
army is put!
The public are familiar with the fact
that Butler was the principal obstacle
in the way of removing disabilities du
ring the last session of Congress. His
position as Chairman of the Committee
on Reconstruction gave him a great
power over the question, and he used it
ail the time to the prejudice of those
Southerners who desired amnesty from
Congress. In this question the Cincin
nati Gazette (Radical) well asks him
“if the late Confederates, who are still
disunited with us, are so bursting with
patriotism for the whole country that
the touch of foreign war would cause
them to rush to the old flag, (as Butler
asserts in his-Music Hall speech.) are
they not good subjects for the trial of
the policy of removing disfranchise
ment and exclusion from office P’ The

Macon and Augusta Railboad.—
An excursion train for Macon which
left Augusta on yesterday morning, with
the officials on board, failed to reach
here. This was the result of an acci
dent one mile this side Cf Miledgeville.
President Geo. H. Hazlehurst left here
with a construction’ train on yesterday
morning, to meet them at Mitledgeville.
His train collided with the other in a
curve od the road. One engine and
tender were considerably damaged. A
negro on the construction train had a
leg smashed, which had: to be amputat
ed. No one else hurt except a few
slight bruises. Tbis wiir delay the
opening of the road for a day or two.
For the above facts we are indebted to

Florida Redeemed. —The Tallahas
see Floridian, of the 22d ult., claims
the election of the Democratic candi
dates for Lieutenant Governor and
member of Congress from that State,
and a majority of both houses of the
Legislature. That paper says:
We think we can safely say that the
Conservatives have achieved a great
victory. Sufficient has been heard to
warrant us is announcing that William
D. Bloxham has been elected to the
office of Lieutenant Governor and Silas
L. Niblack to the Forty second Con
gress. The majorities will be in the
neighborhood of 500, and this, too, des
pite the frauds committed in Duval,
Nassau, Leon and Gadsden, by which
some 200 votes were lost to us. We
have also achieved a victory in the Leg
islature, having elected 13 out of the
24 Senators, giving us 2 majority in
that body, being a clear gain of four
Senators, and a majority of from 3 to 7
iu the Assembly.
Georgia, it seems, is to he carried for j
Grant, Bullock & Cos., by keeping the
polls open three days, so that migratory ;
negroes can be accommodated “early
and often”~and by leaving the ballot
boxes in charge of Bullock’s bummers
and agents for three nights after the
election closes ! Was there ever such |
a mockery elections —such an out- !
rage on the people, and the principle \
of the ballot—as these solemn farces
enacted by Congress in South Carolina
and Georgia ?— Hartford'Times.
In view ot the situation in Maryland
it would b‘ well to close the Republi
can meetings with an incantation after
the manner of Macbeth. A huge iron
pot labelled “official patronage” could
be suspended over a fire, to be called
Presidential wrath, around this post
masters and coflectors should dance
and sing—
“ Eye of Dent, toe of Casey,
Heel of Sambo, fat and laiy,
Soalawag and carpet-bagger,
Rioh men’s purse, official swagger,
Elngte, mingle,” etc.
| And in the “off year” it would be well
to throw in a few extra howls to in
crease the demonstration and addTigor
to the spectacle.—[Don Piatt.

• The Governor of Alabama has order
ed, by proclamation, all officers in the
State to pay the public moneys to the
new Treasurer, Jas. F. Grant.
Bullock’s Star Chamber. —The
Atlanta Era says the Senate will close
its session next week. Perhaps it will,
but as Bullock announces his intention
to call the other branch of the Agency
together in January, to tinker up his
bonds so as to make them available for
financial purposes, it is more than pro
bable that the Senate, with a little per
suasion, will consent to hold over at
nine dollars a day until that time.
The Atlanta Constitution says the
Treasurer is now receiving, large pack
ages of the currency bonds issued by
Governor Bullock a short while'since.
These are the ones whose coupons had
the Treasurer’s lithographed name
without his authority. They come
back cancelled, and are returned by the
Governor’s order.
The Governor is now on the right
track.
The New Georgia Bonds.— We in
vite the attention of our readers to the
letter from New York, to the Augusta
Chronicle, to be found in another
column. It will be seen that his Pro
visional Excellency has failed to nego
tiate his new seven per cents, and that
he found Wall street quite as well post
ed as to Georgia finances as he himself
assumes to be.
The Governor finds out by this time,
that the mare’s nest about the State’s
credit, was known in New York, as
in Atlanta, and we hope he will with
draw his charges against Angier and
the Constitution. He begins to realize
that—
“No rogue yet felt tlie halter draw,
With good opinion of the law.”
Homicide of Colonel Ames.— The
following special dispatch, from Daw

the result of the trial of John Kelly for
the murder of Colonel Ames, will sur

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
The verdict of the jury in the case
of the State against John Kelly, for the
murder of Col. C. T. Ames, proprietor
of the New Orleans Cireus, in Novem

Albany and Columbus R. R-. Mee
ting of the Corporators. —At a meet
ing of the Corporators of this projected
road, held in Albany on Wednesday
last, the following action was taken :
Albany, Ga., November 30, 1870.
Pursuant to notice published in the
Albany News, the Corporators of the
Albany and Columbus Railroad, char
tered by the Legislature at its last ses
sion, met to day in this city.
Present—E. Hulbert, B. G. Lockett,
Nelson Tift, Carey W Styles and S.
H. Hill. Proxies—J. N. Bussey, Jas!

The Board adjourned to meet on the
call of the President, to perfect organi

Superior Court Yesterday.— The
case of W. O. Tuggle, administrator of
Greenwood, vs. W. C. Gray, filed in
equity for partition of property, pay
ment of rents, &e., occupied the whole
of yesterday. Gen. Benning for plain
tiff; Ingram & Crawford for defendant.
About 12 the Judge dismissed all parties
except those engaged in this suit.—
Court meets again to morrow at 9 a. m.
The Mayoralty.— The general im
pression now seems to be that the Rad
icals will run a candidate. The safest
plan, though it has many objections, is
tt> have a vote of those registered to see
who shall be the Democratic candidate.
Since the above was written we learn
Messrs. Cleghorn and Peabody have
agreed to abide by the decision of a
committee of six—three appointed by
each, with power to appoint a seventh
in case of disagreement—whoße names
we are not at liberty to give.

Pretty Good fob Sheep.— There
can be seen on Mr. A. C. Flewellen’s
plantation, ten ewes with winter and
spring lambs following each. One was
dropped in December ; the other in
May. Farmers say this is not only un
usual, but rather remarkable.
The Capitol. —There are no new
developments at the Capitol, and the
imbroglio about the Governorship and
Treasury continues. The Senate has
adjourned until Monday, but the House
proceeds regularly with business. There
is much talk that a “compromise” will
be effected, but the general opinion is
that the defeated parties are awaiting
the action of Congress. There is cer
tainly something in the wind, and the
people are anxious that the wind should
j soon shake it out.— Mont. Ad., 3 d.
Russia wants to borrow from £15,-
000,000 to £20,000,000 sterling in Eng

money now wanted is to aid the Rne

Bullock fails to sell his New Bonds—
Wall Street will not take them —The
Legislature to be called together again
in January—Angier to be impeached.
New York, Nov. 26, 1870.
Editors Chronicle £ Sentinel:
I thank you for the desired informa
tion, and also for the kind allusions to
our House, and lor the extracts from
the Atlanta Constitution. There would
be no difficulty in placing State Bunds
or bonds of well-located railroad enter
prises, endorsed by the State, in mode
rate amounts, at a reasonable figure,
upon one condition, and that is, that
the people of the State shall be propor
tionately identified in interest. Public
confidence in Georgia thrift and energy
is veTy firm; and 1 may add, from per
sonal knowledge acquired in early life
(for 1 commenced life in Georgia in
your city, and later at Macon) is well
grounded. Again: the wonderful re
cuperation of Georgia since the close of
the war has opened the eyes of the pub
lic to her wonderful resources—as yet
scarcely touched and to the degree of
prosperity which she will attain in fu
ture. These views receive careful con
sideration by those who desire to in
vest; and of course are noted by bank
ers and bond brokers. Your people
may rest assured that Wall streetiswell
posted as to the liabilities and resources
of your State as any of your citizens,
and scan ciosely both the character of
State Legislatures and the requirements
of law. Ab an instance of public confi
dence in your State credits, I could give
the names of three or four New En
gland Savings Banks who hold as in
vestments no inconsiderable amounts of
Georgia “old sixes.” At the same time
I should be uncandid did I not state
that your late Legislature has awakened
great distrust.
Your Governor is now here, or at
least was here day before yesterday,
finds some difficulty in effecting a nego
tiation of his new seven per cents.
Bankers and capitalists will not touch
these bonds because the demands of the
law have not been complied with. He
alleges that all that is said about these
bonds has been said by the State Treas
urer, who is striving, through personal
animosity as well as for political pur
poses, to cripple him by damaging the
credit of the State; but it appears to me
that the extract from your Code which
you sent me is so very plain that he
cannot disregard it, and in all events it
must be complied with before he can do
more than effect a moderate loan upon
them as collaterals, if he can do this
much as I doubt. Some of our first
bankers who desire to go into these
bonds will send a responsible party out
to Atlanta to investigate more closely
the status of affairs beiore they venture.
The suspicion is that this is another
North Carolina affair, promising simi
lar results. The Governor says that it
will be necessary to call the Legislature
together in January to perfect some un
finished matters, as the new Legisla
ture cannot meet bpfore next fall. Is
this so ? He says also that at that time
he will have some suggested alterations
in the authority granted by the act
passed, and shall insist that your Legis
lature free him from the Treasurer’s
malicious influence. Be this as it may,
there are too many Southern bonds on
the market. Tennessee’s and Alaba
ma’s are as plentiful as autumn leaves;
and it looks as if Georgia’s promise like
abundance. I* would that you were
without “these bonds.” O.
I'urslKH Newt.
A subscriber complains that wc do
not publish as much foreign news as he
desires. Fourteen others say we de
vote too much space to this matter.
We mention this merely to show
how utterly impossible it is to please
everybody. An editor who understands
his business, never undertakes to print
a paper to please Mr. Brown, Mr. Jones,
Mr. Smith, Mr. Muggins, or any other
gentleman in particular. He takes it
for granted that he cannot just exactly
please everybody, and therefore at
tempts to make it generally acceptable
to as great a number as possible.
The man who sits down to dinner at
a hotel and finds fault with the whole
concern because lie sees on iho bill oi
fare some dish which he does not relish,
is not one whit more ridiculous than he
who objects to a newspaper because it
does not please him in every particular.
In both cases, he acts on the fallacious
assumption that the world and every
thing it contains mfist be “run” for his
exclusive benefit—forgetting that the
tastes, whims and caprices of others
should be consulted by a public caterer
as well as his own.
Neither lanlord, editor, preacher,
poet, nor any body else, can please
everybody !
Stock Raising.— Our late Fair has
one fine effect. It consists in planters
paying more attention than ever before
to the raising of stock. Our next exhi

.encouraged, and they are acting on the
impulse given to such subjects.
Oub modern course of living begets a
condition of tho body that requires oc
casional relief. The system becomes
enfeebled,deranged, clogged, and labors
in its task. The mind sympathizes with
it and both sink, or are depressed to
gether. To restore the vital energies,
purge the system—cleanse the blood—

New York has a stook of 64,000 bales, against
21,787 last year. Manchester has a stock of
125,000 against 110,000.
The visible supply last Saturday showed an
Increase of 52,544 bales over last year, and the
India shipments were less than last
year. For the past six weeks Great Britain
has averaged 33,042 bales of American cotton
consumed, against 14,581 last year.
Thi Pbospect.—That or peace in Europe
appears more favorable than at any time
since the war began. The consumption by
Great Britain doubles that of last year. Will
peace lessen itl Its re-establishment will
cause a temporary advance In prices; but their
permanancy will depend upon the extent of
the United States crop, which promises to be
greater than last year. The receipts at the
ports are already In excess largely of last
year; but may this not bo partly attributable
to the facts that all the Southern l ivers have
been navigable, and planters hove been forced
to sell to realize monoyl In our own market
more cotton has been sold on order than dur
ing any similar period slnoe the war, and we
think the same will hold true of all the inland
towns.
The Weather.— Cool Saturday; pleasant
Sunday and Monday; torrents of ram Tuesday

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For all the purpose? of a Laxative Medi
■cine.
M Perhaps no one
medicine is so univer
sally reqlured by eve
rybody as a cathartic,
nor was ever any be
adopted into use, in
every country and
a«ong all classes, as
this mild but efficient
purgative Pill. The
obvious reason is,
that it is a more reli
able and tar more
effectual remedy than any other. Those
who have tried it, know that it cured
them; those who have not, know- that* it
cures their neighbors and friends, and
all know that what it does once it does always
—that it never fails through any fault or neg
lect of its composition. We have thousands
upon thousands ol certificates of their remark
able cures of the following complaints, but
such cures are known in every neighborhood,
and we need not publish them Adapted to
all ages and conditions in all climates; con
taining neither calomel or any deleterious
drug,-they may be taken with safety by any
body. Their sugar coating preserves them
ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable no harm can
arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerlul influence on
the internal viscera to purify tho blood and
stimulate it into healthy action—remove the
obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and
other organs of the body, restoring their irreg
ular action to health, and by correcting, wher
ever they exist, such derangements as are tho
first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given iu tho wrapper
on the box, for the following oomplaints, which
these Plllis rapidly cure:—
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Llsf
lessness, Languor and Loss or Appe
tite, they should be taken moderately to
stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy
tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various
symptoms, Blllou* Headache, Nick
Headache, Jaundice or Green Nick
ness,Billons Colic and Billon* I'evem,
they should be judiciously taken for each case,
to correct the diseased action or remove the
obstructions which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rtieamatl*m. Wont, Hravel, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Pain In the
.Side, Back and Loin*, they should be con
tinuously taken, as required, to change the
diseased action of the system. With uch
change those complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Drop*ical Swelling*
they should be taken in large and frequent
doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Nnppre**lon a large dose should ho
taken as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
Asa Dinner Pil|, take one or two I*lll*
to promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels into healthy action, restores the
appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence
it is often advantageous where no serious de
rangement exists. One who feels t ole roly
well, often finds that a dose of these Pill*
makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the diges
tive apparatus.

Montezuma, Ga., November 18, 3.870.
Messrs. LISTER BROTHERS, Newark,
N. d.—Gentlemen 1 used oniy two tons oi
tho Flour of Raw Bone purchased of >ou last
season. 1 combined it with twenty-live por
cent, of Deruvian Guauo and applied It for
cotton, using irom 126 to -00 lbs. per acre on a
variety of soils. I take pleasure Instating
that it has proven satisfactory, greatly In
creasing tho yield, maintaining a vigorous
and healthy growth of the plant through the
oi tiro season. The yield on my poorest land
is full Buo lbs. seed notion por aero, and pn my
best land 1200 to 1600 lbs. 1 used by side of
I'atapsco and other standard Phosphates, and
tho improvement in the cotton lrom the use ol
the Done Flour was fully as great as lrom
uny other Phosphate used, and loss inclination
to rust than any other, loan safely recom
mend the Bone as a reliable fertilizer, and
yourselves as reliable dealers.

Mu. .fNO. It. RUSSELL:— Draw mb- 1
received your note of the 15th lnf-t , and take
pleasure In giving V oU result of the use oi
Lister Brothers’ DUNE FLOUR,purchased of
you last spring. I took three acres of very
poor upland that without any manure, 1 aiu
satisfied from the dittcrent rows leit without
manuring, that It would pot have madethiee
hundred pounds of seed cotton, and as it is tho
patch will make 800 or 900 lbs per sere, which
any one can see lor themselves. Upou actual
count of bolls in several rows, same number
of stalks, it rangod follows: manured, 176
to 185 bolls; unruanured, 70 to 00 bolls. I will
also state, upon same piece of land I used th'u
following v arieties with the following result
Weighed out as nearly as I could tho same,
taking their money value a:; basin, and result
up to this timo in m vor of Bone Flour. There
has been a great cry against nil. or nearly bo,
of tho Guanos used through this section ol
country, but most of our farmers do not take
into consideration the peculiar Spring and
bummer, (either very wet or dry,) and 1 don’t
recollect over experiencing so hot a bummer.
All the inanurod cotton in this section whoro
It has been cultivated, l am compelled to be
lieve will pay out, though the farmers' high
expectations have not been realized. My
opinion Is that it will pay to use fertilisers, 11
properly applied. I shall use them agai.n and
will give you my order in time.

Mkssks. LISTER BROTHERS:—Gentle
men— We leol that it is our duty, as w« lutve
used your Bone Flour, to give you the result
of It on our crop this year. We will flrr; state
that Peruvian Guano and Bone Flour aro the
only Fertilizers we have ever used. Wo tried
the Bono Flour, as this is tho first, we have
used it in four different ways, as follows : san-
Uy.Land, New Lund,Old Land and Olay Land.
On sandy laud, 260 lbs per acre Is equal to 200 lba
Peruvian Guano. The only diffurenoe on that
kind of Uml between the Bone Flour and the
Peruvian is ♦1.25 per acre in favor of the'Flour.
On Ulay Laud, tho Bono Flour, Vlbu pounds
per ftcj’o against 203 lbs. of Peruvian, on same
kind oi land, produced 26 per oent. more cot
ton. We planted ono acre anew, and used
upon it 225 lbs. ol Boue Flour, and thr n »<cres
same kind.of land. 1(10 lbs. Peruvian Guano
per acre. Tho acre wo used Bone Flour on
produced 2,700 pounds seed cotton. The three
acres we used Peruvian Guano on produced
1,20 j pounds of sedd cotton per acre. We nev
er plant corn, consequently can say nothing ol
Its etfoot on corn. We feel sale In saying that
260 pounds of Bone Flour will increase the
product In cotton 100 por cent, on the klinds ol
land we have tried It, and certify It has done
so for us this year. We will use nothing except
Bone Flour next year. Very roßp’y, &c.,
