About Taxes. —Columbus real estate
owners think they are heavily taxed when
they have to pay two per cent. The val
uations here are not very high. Macon
has a tax of one per cent. The assess
ments are nearly double those of Coliun-
Im.H. so the tax is about the same. No
mutter where you go there is grumbling
about tux, i, and throughout the South,
on account of the heavy losses by the war
and the attempt to repair the ruins and
cam forward necessary enterprises, they
i ,|iiitc heavy. In a speech made Thurs*
ilay, Hon. Solomon Cohen stated that
though the tax on Savannah real estate
was nominally one and one-half percent,
it was really three per cent. Ito gave as
a reason that the property valuations had
been largely in while there was
no improvement m the market price. So
Columbus is not so lmd off as many of
her larger neighbors. Citizens should be
thankful that they have something on
which to fie taxed.
Our taxes for last year have been well
nigli all paid, and little property has been
Held to settle the claims of the city, and
all, save in several instances, have been
redeemed.
The Business of the M. A G. It.lt.—
Thus far, this road has brought to Colnm-
Ihis en route for Savannah and Now York
2,71)0 hales of cotton, besides the 15,878
halos it lias sent to our warehouses, mak
ing the total to the present date 19,568.
Fur the entire season of 1871-2 the road
only carried 2,182 hales of through and
11,<!!IS hales of Columbus cotton, making
a total of 1 It, 880. So the transportation
to Friday night shows 5,788 halos more
than the whole of last Reason. After this
date the past year, the corporation
brought to Columbus 785 bales—o4B for
our warehouses and 142 for New York.
This increase of cotton has given an
impetus to other other transportation,
and the exchequer of the company re
ceived additions from many sources.
Travel also shows an increase over last
year.
If I his load can ever lie extended so as
to ho placed on the line of through trade
and travel, it will he a paying investment
will yield enormous returns to holders
who purchase stock at the present figure.
JiKMAr.LiS. —No much interest is felt in
our community in the progress of the
North and South Railroad, and we have
heard so many enquiries concerning its
present status, that we decided to settle
all doubts upon the subject, and to litis
end we on yesterday made application at
the. offico of the company and were in
formed that the company has settled all
indebtedness to Grant, Alexander A Cos.
in full. That the company’s arrange
ments for iron are satisfactory, and that
work will be resumed next month. As
this ifLfnriiiiLi,ii>n comes direct from tin
Superintendent of the Gompauy, it may
lie regarded as reliable and should set at
rest all fears of a suspension of this im
portant enterprise.
In this commotion we may add that
twenty engineers on the Gincinnati and
Chattanooga road are now busy mapping
out their surveys and it is expected that
the estimates will bo completed and the
road would be let out for construction in
the latter part of the present spring or in
the early summer.

Patronize Home Industry— Cheap,

cial pattern for the purpose, at the fac
tory of Messrs. A. Clegg & Cos. No goods

remaining consideration—the cost—we
are able to say that it is only one-fourth
what is paid for the material ordinarily
used.

LETTER FROM AUBURN.
Auburn House, March 3d, 1873.
Editors Sun : We reached this pleas
ant little town at noon to-day, after a
very delightful ride with that prince of
conductors, Mr. J. A. McCool, who knows
so well how to make his passengers com
fortable, and to surround them with a
feeling of security while under his care
ful supervision. The train was crowded
with Northern visitors from the Mardi
Gras festival, the most of whom were on
their way to Jacksonville, Fla., via Co
lumbus. Owing to failure of trains to
connect at Mobile, they were compelled
to lie over at Montgomery during Sunday,
a delay that was quite unexpected and
undesired, yet one that could not be
avoided.
The day has been too cold and bluster
ing to allow us an opportunity to view
the town and its suburbs, and we have
only had the pleasure of visiting the Ala
bama Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, recently established here under the
supervision of the State. We were cor
dially received by the President (Rev. I.
T. Tichenor, D. D.), Professor A. Hogg,
Professor O. D. Smith, formerly of Ope
lika; Colonel It. A. Hardaway, Comman
dant, and E. T. Glenn, Esq., Quartermas
ter, to all of whom we are indebted for
many kind favors. Whenever their duties
would allow them a spare moment, they
cheerfully devoted it to giving us a know
ledge of the affairs of the institution, and
iu showing us over the large and elegant
building, which they have been so fortu
nate as to secure for tlie noble purpose of
agricultural and mechanical education.
The most attractive portion of the col
lege building, to our mind, is the beauti
ful and handsomely furnished ball of the
Websterian Society, which, aside from its
other numerous attractions, contains a
most elegant and life-like portrait of the
great Webster, himself—a gift to the So
ciety from the Hon. Peter Harvey, of Bos
ton, an old esteemed friend of your cor
respondent. With the exception of the
historical portrait of Webster, to be seen
in Faneuil Hall, Boston, this is as natural
and as valuable a portrait of the great
Statesman as can be found in the country.
Hanging above the Speaker’s chair, that
calm and intellectual face, that clear and
piercing eye, and that bold and massive
brow—all speak to the youth of the Socie
ty in a manner more eloquent and power
ful than .my words that there fall upon
their ears, of the true grandeur and pow
er of a properly’ trained and well develop
ed mind. It is a face to promote the
highest type of a true and worthy ambi
tion, aud it is well—being the face of a
farmer’s son—that it hangs in the hall of
an Agrieultmal College, where young men
are to be educated in the art of tilling tlie
soil —a profession to which he, himself,
gave his spare hours until the close of
life, and at last died amid the quiet rural
scenes of his beloved "Marshfield Farm.”
The hall of the Wirt Society is much
larger, but less attractive in its genera!
appearance. A small portrait of Wm.
Wirt adorns the w ills, which contain nu
merous other portraits and historical pic
tures. These two Societies furnish ample
facilities to the students for debates and
other literary exercises, and we were glad
to learn that they were both in a highly
prosperous condition, with good libraries
in each hall.
We find quite a number of students
here from about Columbus, on the Ala
bama side, although but two are from the
city—these being Osborne Ely and AY. M.
Perry. From Salem, Summerville, and
that section, there are : W. T. Thompson,
William Rowell, George Webster, James
Strand, Downing Peabody, CL., i. Lowther,
Wiley Williams, Edward Garl.c, It. E. L.
Burt, W. W. Ross, and 0. D. Moore.
From other points we noticed: J. W.
Upshaw, F. L. Nisbet and C. C. Brinson,
Russell county; AV. F. A. Ellison, Hnrt
ville; E. R. Rivers, Glennville, and E. W.
Solomon, Villula. From all parts of the
State, the President tells us, new pupils
are being daily received, and there is
ever}' reason to believe that large addi
tions will yet be made to the number now
in attendance. The usual amount of
sickness throughout various portions of
the State has kept many away who had
purposed coming, yet it is hoped that
they will soon put in an appearance here.
The cadets are all uniformed in grey,
fatigue caps and plain jackets, being the
every-day suit, with a more showy and
expensive one for special occasions. The
pants have a black cord in the seam,
which is in keeping with the other trim
mings, all of which are modest and sub
stantial. Owing to the large increase of
new students, of late, quite a number are
yet without uniforms, although the tailor
shop is rapidly supplying the demand.
Notwithstanding this lack of uniforms,
the dress parade, which takes place daily
at 4 o’clock, was quite an interesting mili
tary display, as the cadets went through
the evolutions with great, promptnes and
accuracy, giving evidence (hat their ex
cellent Commandant, Col. R. A. Harda
way, has not failed in his efforts to im
prove their knowledge of military tactics,
and to impart to them a military bearing,
the benefits of which are readily seen in
their physical development
To parents having sons to educate, who
desire to com! fine in one system physical,
intellectual and practical education, we
commend the Alabama Agricultural and
Alechanical College. It is located in a
most delightful and healthy town, entire
ly free from liquor or billiard saloons, and
has au able and efficient faculty. Its rates
of tuition and board are very reasonable,
while its military feature ensures the
highest physical culture and development.
The President or any member of the fac
ulty will cheerfully send a catalogue to
any person who may desire to know more
of the plans and purposes of the institu
! lion.
We cannot leave without expressing our
thanks to Col. W. 0. Dowdell, D. T. Hal
liday, Esq., and Mrs. Dr. Mcllheuny, of
the Auburn House, for their kind atten
tions ami marked hospitality to a stranger
within their gates.

Our President says in his inaugural that
he does not wish negro equality to be
forced upon the people by legislation,
only when they travel, go to school, or
stay at home. This is like the man who
never drank whisky, unless when by him
self. in company, or wanted it.

THE REMEDY.
On yesterday, we spoke of the quality
of our legislation and the average charac
ter of onr modem legislators—how the
time was expended at great expense in
efforts to supply at the succeeding legis
lature the deficieuces of the former, and
the investigation and exposure by paper
reports, without legal punishment, of ras
calities and their perpetrators. Every
effect must have a cause, aud this cause is
easily discovered in the want of intelli
gence and virtue in the mass of voters.
It is plainly seen, that under present cir
cumstances, the results are ruinous to
every interest of our people, and danger
ous to our forms of government, and he
is the patriot only, who can in time clear
ly diagnose the disease, aud boldly ad
minister a remedy' —if one can be fount!.
There is always an affinity iu representa
tive government, between tlie electors aud
elected, and the latter are supposed
always to reflect the wisdom, integrity
aud patriotism of the former. If this is
an invariable test, then the developments
but lately had in Congress, and iu many
of our State Legislatures, prove indispu
tably that ours is the most corrupt gov
ernment on earth, and a disgraceful hum
bug and failure.
Is there no remedy for these admitted
political and social evils, and if so, what
is it?
Every man believes be is a born Legis
lator and sprang into life like the fabled
Pallas from the brain of Jove fully men
tally aud morally, armed and equipped to
form and direct and control the destinies
of States and Empires. He finds it a lit
tle difficult at times, to govern himself
and his own household, but it is a small
business for him to create, stimulate, de
velop and reconcile the conflicting hap
piness, security' and interests of millions.
His experience and common sense teach
him that to make a horse-slioe or a watch
demands a long apprenticeship, but his
poor vanity and miserable ambition con
vinces him that, like Dogberry’s reading
and writing a genius for legislation ftnnes
by' nature. He pitches around satisfies
enough voters of inferior calibre to join
him in opinion that he is every' inch a
Solomon or an inspired Moses. He is
elected to Congress or the “ Legislatur ,”
aud what then ? He soon concludes that
he has bought a very white elephant. He
finds he knows not what he wants, and if
not, lie canuotlick it into intelligible voice
or writing. lie feels mortified at his ig
norance and the remarks of others, until
stripped of his momentary' importance
and at last, unfit for anything, sinks down
into that lowest of creatures, a broken
down demagogue He realizes when too
late the wisdom of "Ne suto-r ultra crep
idarn"—Let the shoemaker stick to his
last.
If onr legislation and legislators are to
be improved, the better part of citizens
must do the work. They must see that
the modest and qualified must not be
pushed aside by brass and bluster either
at the nominating conventions or ballot
box. They must treat these impudent
pretenders in the same way the master
treated the ass who affected the airs of
the lap-dog. A man you would not credit
for five cents is out of place where he
may steal thousands. The man who has
not sense enough to write a note is poorly
able to realize:
‘‘A thousand years scarce serve to form a State,
An hour may lay it in the dust.”
In his inaugural message Governor Dix,
of New York, called attention to the faifi
that out of 887 bills passed by' tlie Legis
lature of 1572, only 125 were of a general
character, the remaining 761 being private
or local. A correspondent of the New
York Times asserts that there is hardly
one in five fit. to bo placed on the statute
books of a great State. Such is the char
acter of modern legislation, and if New
York can exhibit so poor a record, what
better can be expected from negroes,
carpet-baggers and unprincipled, igno
rant and ambitions office-seeking dema
gogues ?

Avert the Danger.
The “ethereal mildness” with which poets
credit the vernal season is more an illusion of
the fancy than a meteorological fact. Early
spring in temperate climates is a tearful time,
and the tears are usually too co .1 for health or
comfort. To avert the complaints to which the
fogs and winds of the season are apt to give
rise, prudent people who believe in the proverb
that “prevention is better than cure" fortily
their stomachs and brace np their nerves and
muscles with Hostetter’s Stoinaeh Bitters.
Those who do this are wise, and are rewarded
I for their wisdom by escaping the visitations of
i chills and fever, rheumatism, biliousness, ftatu
; lency, constipation, stomach complaint, &c., so
common in damp, inhospitable weather. To the
less prudent, who neglect this precaution, and
suffer for it, we would say, that the disorders
which this potent vegetable U»nic prevents it
; also cures.

THIS WEEK’S STATEMENT.
Columbus, Ga., March 7, 1873.
Financial.— Kxchangeoii New York, buying
% discount, selling % premium. Currency
loans percent, per month.
Cotton Situation. —The receipts at the
United States j»*rt3 arc n w 502,634 bales in ex
cess of those ol last year to this date and the
stock 73,142 more. Columbus shows 16,340 more
bales than *in 1872 and a stock of 4,022 more.
On the week the Columbus stock has ineieased
428 bales.
India shipments this year to February 271 h
were 142,000, against 245,000 la*t year.
The world's visible supply last Saturday
showed a decrease from last year of 1,770 hales;
the total last year was 2,423,119; last Saturday
2,421,349.
Tiie United States ports last year, alter this
date, receive! 432 828 hales of cotton. I: the
ratio of gain be maintained, port receipts
alone will amount to three and a quarter mill
ion bales, not including Southern consumption
and overland. These latter sources, it is ‘
thought, will exceed the 242,065 bales to which
they amounted m 1871-2. So at the lowest cal
culation, the crop will foot up beyond 3,500,000
bales. The New York Financial Chronicle has
uo idea that the crop will fall below 3,70u,0u0.
Those farmers and others, who expect the
stock in Liverpool to bo short next iali, will be
sadly mistaken; and if large provision crops be
not planted the position of llie South will not j
be enviable.
If Columbus maintain.-' her ratio of increase,
she will receive this season sS,7(#> bales in round
numbers. The gain thus far is forty-four per
cent. Alter this date in 1872, including 997
bales received direct at the manufactories,
4,030 bales were warehoused previous to Sep
tember. The stock now is very heavy for this
period oi the year, and the greater portion is
covered by advances.
The weather has been quite cold all the week
—eleven degrees colder than the same week of
1872—but it is now moderating Owing to the
freezing of the ground, farmers have been un
able to do much work on plantations, ami avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to bring iu
cotton. It will be noticed the receipts arc
about treble those of the same week last year.
The causes mentioned have probably produced
this result. There is, however, a good deal
more of the staple in the country now than at
the corresponding period of last spring.
The sales of guano have been immense.
Probably three thousand tons have been dis
posed of at this point alone, and other places
report a heavy business. The hope is that a
large portion may bo placed in corn fields, so
that our section may at least have bread
enough.
Owing to the want of orders, but few cotton
transactions are reported lor the week. During
the last few days some little demand has ex
isted for better grades. Holders are not press
ing tlie market, and many appear to possess
great faith in the future.
The burning of another gin house is reported
this week, making seventy-six, which have
been destroyed in Georgia this season. About
seven hundred bales of cotton have bee* con
vened into ashes with them.
The season thus far has been only one degree
colder than the last, and the winter one degree
warmer. While last December was two de
grees colder than December of 1871, January
and February were one and four degrees warm
er than the same months of last year. The
thermometric observations in Columbus dis
prove the general impression that the past has
been the coldest season for years.
The Weather. —Thermometer for the week
