State Medical Convention—Action ok
Columbus Physician o'. — The Georgia Med
al Convention meets in Columbus on the
Hith, lUh and 12th of April. It is thought
the attendance will be larger than any
ever before assembled. Some throe hun
dred delegates are expected. There were
200 at Americas last year.
A majority of the members of the Co
j unbus Medical Society met last night in
the office of Drs. Billing Sc Mason. Br.
I'rquhart was chairman, Br. George
Grimos Secretary.
Drs. F. A. Stanford, V. 11. Taliaferro,
S a. Hilling, E. J. Kirkscey and T. F.
Brewster were appointed a committee to
make arrangements for a suitable hall,
consult with Council concerning an enter
tainment to be given tho Convention, and
make other arrangements.
We understand the officers of the Con
v -ntion have already arranged with the
railroads to carry delegates for one fare,
u nd that Prof. Ryan, proprietor of the
Kankin House, has offered to board dele
gates at reduced rates, and furnish the
handsome Skating Hall in tho hotel for
the meeting of tho Convention, free of
charge.
The Convention will boa very large and
influential one. It has been given an ele
gant entertainment in all places where it
has been held hitherto. Os course, Colum
bus, noted for her hospitality, will not be
behind other cities. We know that the
present Council will accord to the com
mittee of physicians all tho appropria
tions required for giving the Convention
an elegant supper.
The Columbus society adjourned to
meot noxt Saturday night, when the com
mittee named will report and regulnr offi
cers will be elected.
The New Corner House or Russell. —
On a recent visit to the town of Seale,
the newly selected county site of our
neighboring county of Russell, in Alaba
ma, wo had occasion to call at the new
hall of justice being erected by our old
friend Simeon O’Neal, contractor, under
the supervision of Ulyses Lewis, Esq.,
architect. Tho building had sufficiently
approached completion to show its internal
arrangements. The arrangement of rooms
pir the accommodation of tho various
county offices, which are in the lower
story, is in very good taste, both for com
fort and usefulness, and the county offi
cers who had moved in, appeared cozy and
expressed themselves well pleased. Tho
court and jury rooms aro above, and
though not completed, the work had suffi
ciently advanced to show the arrangement.
Tho plan to tho writer, is entirely origi
nal, and for all wo know, may be an im
provement on the styles heretofore adopted
by the fogy architects. The building is,
we believe, sixty by forty feet, which gives
a very roomy hall. The jury rooms, two
in number, are placed in one end of the
hall, on the right and left of the Judge’s
stand which is on a slightly elevated plat
form, sumo twolve foet wide and eighteen
feet deep from tho front to the window at
his hack. This will give the Judge ample
room to promonade and exercise his
wearied limbs whilst the prosy lawyers
are explaining to the jury the law of tho
caao and the great wrong done to thoir
clionts. If this be the purposo of tho im
mense rostrum above described, ,it is cer
tainly an improvement. The entrance to
the court room is through a largo and
handsome door in tho Wost end of the
building, which is approachod by two
flights of steps fvom the sides, protected
from the weathor by a projection of the
roof, forming a portico supported by six
massive columns. Tho outside view pre
sents quite a handsome appearance, but
would have boon improved had the build
ing been about two feet taller. This
would have allowed the lower floor to be
raised higher from the ground, allowed
more height to the ceiling of offices and
consequently more comfort in the heated
season to the occupants. Tho building is
es brick, and the style of tho work
generally, both brick and wood, as far as
is ftni.shod, does credit to tho contractor.
M. & G. R. R. Stock Advancing—
-I’koiuuiutiks of a Lease. —A lively com
petition appears to bo the order of the
'Ly in the sale of Mobile and Girard R.
K. stock. The price has advanced fifty
(Hr cent. During the week just passed
an offer of twenty cents on the dollar was
made and refused. A short time ago
tight and nine cents was all that could be
obtained. The position of the Central
Railroad does not appear as strong as
formerly. That corporation failed to get
the city stock in the Opelika branch
road, and now, we are informed, has
agents about to buy the stock in the Mo
bile and Girard road. The Central will
not lease that road and yet desires to
own. The purpose appears to be to
purchase the stock at a low figure, keep
the road in debt and control it for her
own uses.
'Vu are advised that measures are being
taken to lease the road to a Western cor
poration. Owners had better hold their
dock. Whoever sells, parts with his in
terest in the lands of the company, about
00,000 acres.
bhere is every reason to believe a lease
will soon be made on very favorable terms,
and that the road will move forward soon
nftor. The stockholde rs have a good
property, and when so controlled as to
take advantage of competition, will have
connections west and north. This done,
receipts must rapidly increase. This line
ls Sorter, by twelve miles, via Montgom
ery and Decatur, Alabama, to Louisville,
Kentucky, than by Atlanta. Competition
once open, our city will prosper. Hold to
.four stock.

Labge Cotton Transaction by a Savan

late market report of yesterday shows a
transaction during the afternoon wherein
the house of Messrs. William Henry Woods
Sc Cos., always noted for its extensive and
reliable business intercourse, disposed of
3,5G1 bales of cotton, the bulk of it being
purchased by one party, Kroop, Hanne
mann Sc Cos., one of the largest exporting
houses in the city. This is undoubtedly
the largest cotton transaction ever made
in one day by any house in this city, and
we doubt if a like sale has ever been chron
icled by any cotton mart in the South At
lantic or Gulf ports. We are glad to note
such evidence of prosperity in our mer
cantile community, for the stability of our
merchants is at once apparent when the
stable, involving the interest of nearly a
half million, can be held by a single party
and disposed of within a few hours.

The Atlanta Sun has the following:
The Result op “Repudiation.”—Hen
ry Clews and the Bond Ring, from its lit
tle organ in this city to the biggest in the
crowd, have constantly predicted that the
late Bond Act of the Legislature would
utterly ruin the credit of the State. Let
us seo: Less than three weeks ago the
six per cent bonds of tho State (issued
before Bullock’s term) were worth 70
cents in New York. They are now worth
78 to 80. The seven per cents, were then
worth 80. They aro now worth 87 to 88.
“Repudiation” seems to help np. A little
more would be a good thing. Let us
have it.
Bear in mind that those are currency
bonds; and remember further that neith
er Henry Clews nor any other member of
the Bond Ring can sell any of the swin
dling gold bonds they hold, for so much.
It is higher than any of the sales of gold
bonds reported by Henry Clews in his
little bill against the State; and a better
price than he or any one else will ever
realize for them.
Tho Atlanta Sun has this in rogard to his
recent decision in the National Bank case:
Avery remarkable feature in Judge Er
skine's decision in the Bank case is, that
he assigns all the assets of tho Bank (ex
cept the $1,300 to $1,500 ordered to be
returned to its officers) to Captain Ander
son individually , not as an officer or rep
resentative of the State, or in any capac
ity whatever, except that of Captain An
derson himself; and it is the opinion of
eminent lawyers that if the decision and
order of the Judge are worth anything
whatever, they absolutely make the assets
assigned to him, his own individual prop
erty !
Statue of Gen. Dußose. —The Wash

says that “Miss Yinnie Ream, the sculj>
turess, is said to be busily engaged on a
model preparatory of a statue of General
Dudley M. Dußose. This gentleman is
recognized as the Apollo of Congress, and
Miss Ream has become so infatuated with
his splendid personnel that she designs
that his manly form shall adorn the art
gallery of the ‘Nation’s Capital’ as a fitting
' testimonial of her genius and admiration
! for the highest type of tho Genus Amer

The Atlanta Constitution learns that A.
L. Harris. Thursday, testified before the
State Road Investigating Committee, tha*
if that road had been properly managed
in 1870, free from political influences, it
would have paid, in addition to all the ne
cessary expenses, and keeping up the im
provements, the sum of $300,000 into the
State Treasury.
He stated that Governor Bullock con
trolled the road, discharging agents and
employees daily and reinstating those dis
charged by the officers of the road ; that
there was employed at different times one
thousand hands, when three hundred and
fiftv were enough to attend to all the busi
ness of the road.
When we add this $300,000 to the $700,-
000 audited bv the Auditing Committee, it
makes the sum of $1,000,000. Where did
it go to, and who got it ?
The Atlanta Sun takes pleasure in re
cording the fact that the United States
District Attorney, Judge Pope, has re
signed his offico rather than play the role
which Amos T. Akerman did, or procured
to be done, in South Carolina; that is. to
prosecute, persecute and consign to pun
ishment honorable men, who are guilty of
no crime, merely because some scamp or
vagabond testifies against them. Farrow
will do it.

famous Ku-klux bill. On the 24th ult.,
he made a long speech in the House to
prove, or trying to prove, that Bullock’s
administration as Governor of Georgia
was strictly an honest one, and that it did
no harm to the people. We had hoped
that Bigby would redeem his course in re
gard to the Ku-klux bill, but all expecta

ago he was in favor of a white man's

A letter from Thos. L. Frazier, Secre
tary of the East Agricultural Society,
states that the society was burdened with
an accumulated debt, which was cancelled
by sale of its grounds at Opelika. The
grounds, however, were purchased by a
responsible company of farmers,
merchants and mechanics, who are zealous
friends and co-workers with the society
who have already tendered the grounds
with a guarantee of a larger premium
list than any previous year, which the
society have accepted. The society, freed
from all financial embarrassment and
placed where it cannot possibly become
involved again, is now in a position to
accomplish far greater good than ever be
fore. Its monthly and annual meetings
will be uninterrupted devotion to agricul
ture and kindred subjects.
The Columbus Sim is muchly disgrunt
ed at the claim of first attacking and kill
ing the "New Departure" advanced by
its Atlanta namesake. It is a very serious
matter and we don’t wonder at the Coliun
bus luminary’s sensitiveness. “Who
killed Cock Robin?” sinks into insignifi
cance by comparison. —Macon Telegraph.
Small things are great to little men.
For instance, we would like again to read
the story of poor Cock Robin in connex
ion with the exploits of the Grand Mogul
of the Ku-Klux, Adam Sekoh, and the
birth and adventures of the “Wild Man
of the Woods,” as duly recorded by the
scribe of the Macon Telegraph. A wiser
man than Adam Sekoh thought it. a crime
to play “mum,” or bat, when the Repub
lic was in danger.
Foe the Lottery Ticket Pukchasebs.
—The Charleston Courier publishes a re
port, for the correctness of which the pa
per vouches, of the South Carolina Land
and Immigration Association, which pro
posed to dispose, by lottery, of the Charles
ton Academy of Music and other proper
ty, and in which so many in this section
were interested. Only 28,407 of the 150,-
000 tickets advertised wero sold—leaving
121,533 unsold. Those sold at $5 each
brought $142,335. The expenses paid
were $105,888, showing the cash balance
for prizes drawn $30,447. From the
amount all the prizes drawn were paid,
$5,000 given to the State Mechanical and
Agricultural Society, SSOO to the Confed
erate Widows’ Home, and SSOO to the
Catholic Orphan Asylum. When the few
outstanding claims are paid, the Courier
says, the Association will have absolutely
nothing left. Every prize advertised was
put in the wheel. Os course the Associa
tion, holding nearly six tickets to one,
drew the valuable ones.
Illness of a Well-Known Gentleman.
—From letters received we learn that Mr.
J. M. Quinby, probably the largest and
wealthiest carriage manufacturer in the
United States, was stricken with paralysis
at his Northern home, and, it is thought,
will die. He was well known in this sec
tion where he had many friends.
Cotton Consumption.— The whole of
last year, from September to September,
the cotton factories of Columbus took
about 3,000 bales of cotton. Thus far,
since September Ist, they have taken from
the warehouses 3,533 bales, against 1,322
last year to same time. In addition, the
factories have received some 700, which
did not pass through the warehouses. The
total consumption, this season, will be in
the neighborhood of 5.500 bales. This is
a gratifying result.
Changed Locality. —Air. Henry C.
Pope, one of the most popular and thor

medicines, in Atlanta. He will bring
strength and influence to any house.

Periodic Disorders.
Tho paroxysmal maladies which arc charac
terized by heat and cold, prevail extensively at
this season, and It Is a curious fact that in many
parts of the country where they are prevalent,
other diseases, that bear no general resemblance
to fever and ague, or remittent fever, assume a
periodic typo. Thus, in many sections infested
with chills and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia,
hysteria, diarrhoea, Ac., sometimes becoming
intermittent, thereby indicating that they have
been engendered by tho same poisonous exhala
tions which produce the first named disease.
In all theso masked cases of ague —for such they
are—as well as in the regular intermittent-', the
most safe and reliable remedy that can be ad
ministered Is Hostetter’s Stomach Hitters.—
Neither quinine nor arsenic are needed. Bo h
are in the highest degree dangerous, and are
sure to leave sad tracos of their poisonous action
in the system, whether they arrest ilie parox
ysms or not. In many instances all the so-call
ed specifics of the "regular” materia modiea
utterly fail to “brea< up” intermittent and re
nt'ttent disorders. But the great vegetable
Tonic never fails. The spasm of the minute
blood-vessels which causes the chill, is the re
si It of nervous weakness, produced by the de
bilitating operation of an unwholesome atmos
pnerc, and the tone and vigor given to the ner
vous system by the Bitters, enable it to throw
off the disease. The wiser policy, however, is to
anticipate attacks of this nature, by arousing
all the latent energies of the body at the com
mencement of the moist and chilly season, with
this incomparable antidote. By "pursuing this
course, intermittents, remittents, rheumatism,
ci lie biliousness, dyspepsia and pulmonary af
fections may always be prevented.
Economy. —By using Mrs. Whitcomb’s Syrup
for children many a doctor’s bill can be saved
and much suffering averted. Bead the adver
tisements in another column.
PREMATURE LOSS OF THE HAIR may
be entirely prevented by the use of Burnett's
Oocoaine. It has never failed to arrest decay,
and to promote a healthy and vigorous growth. |
It is at the same time unrivalled as a dressing j
for the hair.
CAST THEM OUT.—If there are any dis
eases which deserve the nime demoniac, Dys
pepsia is ono of them. It racks and tears the
system like a veritable fiend, and renders life a ;
burden. The medicines of the dispensary will |
not dispel it. Cast it out with Dr. Walker’s
Vegetable Vinegar Bitters. There is no j
form of indigestion or liver complaint that can
withstand this potent tonic and alterative.

The interior towns have received this week
16,207 bales, against 17,086 the previous one
and 27,424 in" 1871 and 12,035 in 1870. —
Their total receipts are about 280,000 bales less
than last year.
Columbus, thus far, has received 30,405 bales,
against 69,929 last year. Tho total last season
was 75,007. We ought to get some 3,000 bales
after tills date. List year we receivedß,l7B.
New York has a stock of 92,000 bales, agaiust
116,980 last year. Manchester has a stock oi
280.000 against 105,000 in 1871. and 45,000 in 1870.

last year. For the past six weeks Great Britain
has averaged 36.344 ol American cotton con
sumed, against 42,204 bales last vear.
The Prospect.—Cotton is pronounced the
biggest fool in tho world. When expoctod to
go up it tumbles. Tho prospect is not all
gloomy. Port receipts are beginning to dem
onstrate that short crop figure men have made
no wide estimate of the crop. Three millions
or less may be the highest figures after all.
The interior towns aro getting beautifully
smaller day by day and their stocks aro steadi
ly diminishing. India floats awful amounts,
but we are getting accustomed to tho multitudi
nous reports of her little bundles. The declines
in prices may be duo to tho want of speculation,
the fact that manufacturers have pretty good
stocks on hand, the carrying of cotton to meet
futures, and tho expectation that high figures
may tempt a more extensive breadth of land to
be cultivated in the fleecy staple and the large
European stocks. Cotton is decidedly of tho
dethroned codfish aristocracy when a Dig crop
is produced, and little corn made on borrowed
capital. It can’t pay expenses. Southern
planters ought to havo learned this lesson; for
by pursuing it, they are poorer than in 1865
The money and the credit has heeu sorely
strained and there will boa scarcity of it this
year. Corn must be planted iu self-defense.
Tne English circulars are already speculating
upon lower prices owing to this increased prob
ability theory. It remains to be seen whether
planters will ruin themselves still deeper
Prices at present may go lower, but there ought
to boa reaction.
In this section ploughing is progressing vig
orously. some corn has been planted, and little
guano purchased. Crop of small grain reported
good. Planters buying largely of Western
corn and meat.
Freights have been reduced via the M. & G.
R. R., and thence Norfolk to $1 per hundred
pound3 and $1 15 to Boston. The Central R. R.
officers were consulting to day and it is thought
they will also reduce the rate.
