TIIE MONT™ GEORGE A. KING & CO.,] VOL. XVITI. Elu 2Wflnroc FORSYTH, TUESDAY, FEB. 18, 1873. Captain llznky K. Hodcbs Las completed the Foiled States survey of the Flint river and ha* re turned to Bainbridgc. >< Tiie mortuary report of the sexton of Augusta shows thirteen deaths from meningetis from the Ist to the Bth inst. The wheat and oat crops in some portions of North Georgia were badly injured by the recent cold snap. The amount oI import duties paid at the Sa vannab Custom-house during January was sli,* 612,38 on cargoes brought by foreign ships, and only sls 10 ou those brought by American ships. On the 11th inst. the Convention bill was dually killed in the Ilouec—a motion to reconsid er having failed by a large majority. On the pre vious day it waa lost by live votes. This action settles the question lor the present session. 'lire Knquirer says the factories have orders tar ahead, and the principal one—the Eagle und Fhumlx—receives them so fast, and such heavy ones, that they have to be filed away, and some times wait lor weeks before they can be filled. Rev. Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, Chancellor to the University of Georgia, will deliver the anniversary address entitled, “ Georgia, Old and New,” at the thirty-fourth anulversary of the Georgia Histori cal Society of Savannah. Tnu Star reports that all danger is now over from the spread of small pox in Spalding. There lias been twelve eases in all and only one death. Dr. K nott reports three have recovered, three convalescent sod the balance doing well and the pest house faithfully guarded. A bankeu in Savannah Tuesday, waa offering for new parties five hundred shares of Central Railroad and Banking Company stock at SBS, to be delivered at the option ol the sellers, at any time within the next twelve months. Wednes day t tie odor was accepted by another firm in the tame business for themselves and others. The pa pern say a thousand shares were taken at s9l. The depot on the State road at Resaeo was burned on the night ol the 11th. The building was ol atone, having wooden covering, shingles, and was a good bulldiLg. There was no tire in the building, and the presumption is that It was tired by sparks passing from a locomotive smoke stack. The loss iu the building has riot yet been estimated in figures. In goods and grain the loss Is put down at $5,000. The books in the oflice were ail burned. The Star states that Judge Jared Whitaker, of Atlanta, is quite ill and in very indigent circum stances. He was once Mayor of Atlanta, and rep resented Fulton county In the Legislature. He is a clever man, and we deplore the adverse circum stances which have reduced him to such straits. We learn that the bar of Atlanta arc looking after bis wants. A correspondent wilting to the Atlauta Sun, in speaking of Gainesville, says : The way Gaines ville has crro'TD the Air Line road was fin ished Is simply surprising, for now there is a resident population of 3,000 souls, which, during the coming summer, will no doobt be temporarily increased to at least 4,000. It is 1,230 leet above tlie level of the sea. Corn is selling at 75 cents per bushel; fodder, 1 50 per hundred; egg* 26 cents per dozen; chickens, 20 to 22 cents apiece. Tits Bainbridgc, Cutbbert and Columbus Rail road was sold at public outcry, in Bainbridgc, Tuesday, to Mr. J. G. Gibbs, for $30,000.. It is not stated for wboui lie purchased it. The sale wus for the benefit ol the creditors, and includes the charter, fraueblse, road bed and all the prop erty of the company. On this road has been ex pended some $280,000, $109,000 of which was iu end), and the remaining SIBO,OOO the company owe lor. It has been graded titty miles, and cross ties were luid lor that distance two years ago. The electoral vote was counted on the 12th. The Seuate separated from the House on three Georgia votes cast for Greeley. The Senate voted, “count them;” the House voted nay; so they were cast out. Th* whole vote of Mississippi was couuted. Both bodies separated on Texas, the objection being that less than a majority ol the Electoral College filled vacancies, and that the proper officers did not certify to the credentials. The vote was finally counted. The votes of Louis iana and Arkansas were being considered when the two Houses adjourned. .... ■■ - ♦ Savannah is lieh. The Advertiser collates some interesting facts from the Mayor’s aunual report. (Juder the bead of city resources it finds that the city owns $1,411,000 worth ot railway stocks aud bonds. There are six hundred and ninety-three lots under lease, valued at $2,015,000, and 35 not sold. Springfield Plantation is valued at $40,000; water works site at $250,000; part of Hutchinson's island, $10,000; city dispeusary, $8,000; Exchange building,sloo,ooo; new market bouse $150,0$0; fire departmeut lots and buildings $76,000; police barracks, $50,000 ; powder maga zine, etc., $7,500; street and lanes lot and stable, $12,000; dredge machine, steamer Petit and boats, $55,000; amount of taxable real estate aud im provements, $19,711,265. Tub Hamilton Visitor says Captain West, a wealthy capitalist of New York, together with Captain A. Griffith, of Home, has purchased twenty thousand acres of land nineteen miles trom Home, on the line of the North and South llailroad. The road is graded to withia two miles of hi* location. Within six mouths, Captain West wtil have laborers, representing one thousand people, at w ork, and will ship forty tons of pig Iron per day. He will require one hundred cords ol wood daily. These reflections have been sug gested by a conversation of Captain W. with Gov ernor Smith, which was repeated to ns by a gen llemau who heard it. The Captaiu, a man of vast practical experience tn the iron business, assured the Governor that Polk county contains more good ort than the ichole HU its of J\nttsylvanui. From the Telegraph and Messenger we learn that a very important arbitration case, involving a claim of ten thousand dollars against the city of Macon, is now in process of arbitration in the office ot Hou. Washington Poe. The claim is that of Gen. John T. Croxton, of Kentucky, and is in the form ot a fee for service rendered the city. When the war ended, among other property seized by the United States Government was the Confederate armory property in that city. Upon this property, however, the government finally relinquished its claim. Croxtou, who was a gen eral iu the Federal army, claims that it was through his intercession that the government was induced to relinquish the property, and he now wauls a tee of ten thousand dollars for the ser vice. The matter has been submitted to arbitra tion. General Croxton selected Col. James T. Nisbev as his arbitrator; the city selected Hon. Cliflord Anderson, and the two selected Hon. Washington Poe as umpire. General Croxtou is represented by Col. W. A. Lofton, ascouusel, and the city by its attorneys, Messrs. R. W. Jemisou and John B. Weems. The hearing of the case was commenced on Saturday and is likely to con tinue several dayi. The Slate Finance*. On the 10th Gov. Smith sent a special message to the legislature to the effect that two million five hundred and sixty seven thousand five hun dred and thirty five dollars must be provided for the carrent year, to meet bonds falling due, and pay interest on public debt. Among the debts are Russel Sage’s claim of three hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars to pay interest of five hAdred and *ixty-seven thousand in gold quarterly bonds to January Ist 1874, and to pay bonds falling dne this year and January 1874, and to pay interest on the public debt. Message re ferred to the jolDt finance committee to report on the 11th. The Governor gays the means of meeting this large demand upon the treasury, are first by taxa tion ; second, by funding such portions of said claims as do not tail within the ordinary cur rent expenses of the Government. The value of the taxable property of the State, as shown by the report of the Comptroller Gen eral, is something over $226,000,000. There is no reason to doubt that tbi- valuation would be in creaaed, upon an honest appraisement to $250,- 000,000. The Executive concludes as follows: But even at this incresed valuation, justice to ourselves forbids that we should rely upon this source alone to raise the amount required. Many of the citizens of the State have found it very difficult to pay the taxes imposed by the present law. If the present rate should be doubled, it would be found, in many instances, impossible for the people to comply with the demands of the tax-gatherers without parting with their homes and household goods. By adopting regulations which would secure au honest appraisement of the taxable property ol the Btate, and by adopt ing such measures as will result in Binding the claims above stated, except such as are included in the current expenses ol the government, even the present rate of taxation may be reduced with out detriment to the public service. From the foregoing statement it will be seen that the amount of the claims upon the Treasury necessary to be provided lor at the present session is very large. I submit the question of the ways and means for meetiug these claims, and for relieving the public credit from its present embarrassed condition, to the wisdom and patriotism of the representatives of the people. Tlic Spanish Troubles. The long continued troubles in Spain have re sulted in the abdication of the yonng K'mg, Ama deus, who was imported from Italy to rule a few years ago, which solemn act was followed by the Cortes, or national congress, declaring Spain a Republic. We call it a farce, simply because the idea that Spanish politicians can control their choleric constituents in the ways of law and order is ridiculous. The cable informs us that on the 11th the tv. o houses assembled at a late hour, when the formal message of abdication of King Amadeus was read in each Chamber separately. It opens with the statement that the King has maturely eousidered the questiou of what course he ought to pursue with reference to the Spanish throne, and has firmly resolved upon that course. When he accepted the crown be did so under the belief that the loyalty of the people who called him would compensate for the inexperience which he brought to his task, but he had lound that herein he was deceived. If the enemies who had beset his path had been foreigners, he would not have takeu the course now determined upon. But they are Spaniards, and by them Spain had beuu kept in perpetual disquiet. All his efforts to quiet her, put an end to intrigues, which were the source of ner agitation, proved unavail ing. It was not enough that he had partizau sup port ; he had no wish to remain on the throne as the King ot a party. Ete therefore announced his abdication on behalf of himself and heirs. Upon the completion of the reading, the Senate and Congress met together iu the chamber ot the lat ter, aud constituted themselves the sovereign Cortes ot Spain. Seuor Rivero, President of Congress, was called to the chair, and iu a brief speech declared himself ready to answer for the pieservatlon of order and the execution of the decrees of the sovereign power. The vote was then takeu on the quettlon of accepting, without discussion, the abdication of Amadeus, and it was accepted unanimouly. A commission from tbe members of Congress was then appointed to draft a reply to the mes sage, and another commission to accompany the King to the frontier. Seuor Pio then proposed a resolution establish itig a republic, aud vesting in the Assembly the supreme power. The resolution was adopted by w vote ot yeas 256, nays 32. Is it Tuuk ?—Writing cn the 11th inst., the At lanta correspondent of the Telegraph and Messen ger gives us this bit of gossip: Your correspondent learns that some days since while Mr. Hill, in company with several gentle men in this city, were engaged in a general con versation in the United States Supreme Court room, the subject of the Supreme Judgeship was introduced, and several conjectures were made as to who would receive the appointment. Mr. Hill at this juncture volunteered some information, which a little astonished the company, and has created no little surprise among others whose ears it has reached. Mr. llill stated that Governor Smith had twice off red him the position of Supreme Judge. First, the Governor had asked him whether or not he could accept the appointment, and V, r. Hill as sured him it was impossible. A day or two there atter Governor Smith sent one of his “staff” to Mr. Hill, tendering him the appointment the sec ond time, but that he again respectfully declined the appointment. Friends and enemies of the Governor are a little puzzled to account for his delay in this matter. It is whispered that his recent appointments have given great dissatisfaction, and that he seeks to reinstate himself in public favor by a coup d'etat. From the Griffin News we learn that the Griffin, Monticello and Madison railroad is in deep water. That journal says. Several bills of Injunction against this Road have been filed, and were set down for a hearing before Judge Hall yesterday, but were postponed for a conple ol weeks. The officers of the road have made manly efforts to keep it up, and build it; but from the present state of affairs, we can see no way for the Road to get relief except through voluntary bankruptcy. This would doubtless be the surest way to have it built: let it go into liquidation, and change into the hands of those who are able to construct it. This will probably be the result of the present litigation. It is true the present stockholders aud creditors will loose their claims, bnt it wiil be nothing unusual in enterprises of the kind. A Sobbr Segoed Thought. —The United States Attorney General has directed the United States District Attorney at Mobile to discontinue the suits brought agaiust the importers of foreign goods who, during the war paid custom dutits to Confederate officials, said suits being instituted to recover to the United Spates the amounts thus paid as import taxes. The Attorney General takes ground that, as the Confederate government was a and/ facto government at that time, and that as peo ple where said taxes were paid were cot able to resist it, and the United States officers not being there to receive duties, the suits which have been entered ought not to be prosecuted. The work of decorating Pennsylvania avenue ia Washington, on the occasion of President Grant’s inauguration, has been awarded to Mr. W. F. Sheible of Philadelphia, who has had much experience in street decorations. The plans are not perfected, but it is said he intends to have fif teen triumphal arches at different points between Seventeenth street and the Capitol. Why not cover the avenue from the White House to the Capitol with a silken canopy iu imitation of that which covered the avenue through which Empe ror Napoleon 111. was wont to enter the Palais d’ Industrie, during the Grand Exposition ? Why i not do things np iu au Imperial style? FORSYTH, GEORGIA, Til Washington item*. There is now no doubt of the President inten tion to start in about six weeks, upon an exten sive Southern tour. It is announced that the President has decided to renew his aggressive policy against the Mor mons. A few days since he held a conference with the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on the subject. It Is thought that a less harsh and oppressive law than the Culiom bill, which was defeated last session, can be framed and passed before the dissolution of Congress. The Presi dent’s interest in the matter is stimulated by a memorial which he has received from the Gen tiles of the Territory, reciting the wrongs which they have suffered, and continue to suffer, at the hand 6of the Saints. The delegate to Congress from Utah bitterly opposes any action by Con gress, and complains that the legislation proposed is only the first step in a movement which has for its object the destruction of the Mormon system. A strennons effort is being made to raise the President’s salary. To secure votes which could not otherwise be obtained it is designed to put up the pay of Congress to SS,OOO a year, to include the present Congress, so that every retiring mem ber will pocket $6,0C0 in addition to his regular salary of $5,000 per annum. This bribe is likely to cariy the day. Without it the bill would not have the slightest chance. The whole scheme is an outrage. The President’s pay to day is equal to more than $50,000, including the advantages attached to the White House. He pays, in fact, for nothing but his entertainments, and they are few and far between. Pierce and Bnchanan lived far more hospitably and generously than Grant does, and yet never spent their salaries. Lincoln saved more than one half of his pay. Congress gives Grant a steward, servants, lights, fuel, kitchen garden, green house, stables, stationery, secretaries, clerks, messengers, and a host of things which other Presidents paid for ont of their own pockets. Yet they never complained. Greed is the order of the day, and it begins at the White House. A Small-Pox Remedy. The following statement of a correspondent of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald has been going the rounds of the papers. An ex-Californlan says he has seen it tested with entire success. We repro duce it, therefore, for what it is worth : I herewith append a recipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure the small-pox, though the pittings are filling. When Jenner discovered the cow pox iu England, the world of science hurled an ava lanche of fame upon his head ; but when the most scientific school in the world—that of Paris—pub lished this recipe as a panacea for small-pox it was passed unheeded. It is as unfailing as fate, and conquers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet lever. Here is the recipe as I have used it, and cured my children of the scarlet fever; here it is as I have used it to cure small-pox. When learned physicians said the patient must die, it cured : Sulphate zinc, one grain ; foxglove, (dignitalis), one grain; half a teaspoonlul ot sugar; mix with two tablespoonsful of water. When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water. Take a spoonful every hour. Either dis ease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses, according to age. If counties would compel their physicians to use this, there would be no need ot pest-houses. If you value advice aud experience, use this for that terrible disease. The Chelsea (Mass.) Public says four or five ctises ol the disease have been cuVed by the tfuove remedy in that town to tbe editor’s personal knowledge. Atlanta has been peculiarly blessed iu the last week with the presence of “ J.N.,” A. D. Webster, and a Mrs. Ballou. Tbe first a crazy wanderer, the two last spiritualistic teachers, though differ ing somewhat. Says the Herald : Some days ago Mrs. Addle L. Ballou, with some flourish of trumpets, challenged Dr. Harrison to meet her in debate —insinuating that he was a coward if he backed out, and saying that she would take no excuse. She seemed anxious for a tight. He refused, and she triumphed. But now Dr. Webster comes to the front and denounces Mrs. Ballou, and challenges her to meet him in debate. There is also a Dr. Cleveland in the city who pretends he can cure disease by simply laying on of hands, etc. The local reporter of the Herald gives a sample oi his blasphemy as follows: I can cure, sir, just as Jesus Christ cured men, by laying my hands on them. Reporter—How did you get this power? D. C.—l got it just as Jesus did. It was devel oped in me. Jesus went into a care and devel oped himself rightly, and also into a high mount ain. By the same procedure I developed myself and now I cau cure men just as he did—by the layiDg on of my hands. Says the reporter, we intended to have him ar rested as an imposter, but at the earnest entreaty of a lriend, who believes in him, we will wait un til the “ Doctor” has had a trial in onr presence, and then ii he fail (as of course he will), we will guarantee to make Atlanta too hot to hold him. The London Grocer says : Some few years ago provision dealers would scarcely have liked to admit the fact of their selling American cheeae to their customers, but the enterpiising and even scientific American farmer has, under the factory system of manufacture, so far changed this state of things that the American article is often supe rior to most of the English made, and in many instances fully equal to the finest Cheddar and Cbesire qualities ; hence, that which at one time dared not have been openly countenanced is now sold by all first-class dealers to an appreciative public. The improvement in the make and qualify of American cheese, has been accompanied by an improvement in the breed and feed of pigs, and any one who has visited the States of late years knows that the bacon and hams there are equal to onr own. An adjourned meeting of the survivors of the Mexican war was held on the 9lh, at Pittsbnrg, and a memorial to Congress was approved, setting forth that almost a generation has now passed since the conquering columns dictated an honora ble peace with Mexico, and but few of the men who participated are left to ask bounty of the Government; and that, in view of the benefit de rived by the nation from the acquisition of Cali fornia aad New Mexico, they ask Congress to grant a pension commensurate with the results springing from their services and achievements ; and as these provinces were acquired from Mexico for the sum of $15,000,000, added to the cost of the war, and this heritage was fought for by pri vate soldiers for seven dollars per month, they appeal to Congress to remember them in their de clining years. The New York Weekly News (Ben Wood’s pa per) thus refers to Postmaster Creswell’s proposed abolition of press as well as of Congressional priv ileges of free postage: Postmaster General Cresswell carries his hos tility to the press to that point that he would re quire them to prepay the postage to their sub scribers. If the Government will guarantee that to all cases the papers aforesaid shall reach those who have subscribed fo r them, and that the let ters remitting money to newspapers shall not be stolen or mislaid by iu agents, then we have no donbt that the press would generally accept the amendment to the Postal law proposed by the Postmaster General. Until it does that, however, they will most respectfully |object It would be mauilestiy unfair "to take letters and papers and charge an advance for them, and not be respc risi ble for their safe delivery. Thh authorities of Mercer University have determined to resume the exercises of both the university and preparatory school on the 3d of March. _ Up to January Ist, 1873, the Hootiac tunnel coat 19,300,000.

Olb Bull’s Dog. —Ole Bull, the great Norwe gian catgut-scraper, has two pets which he loves passing well—his fiddle and his dog. The former is more useful than ornamental, aud the latter is more ornamental than useful. The aog is a small white poodle, covered with fleece as soft as that of Mary’s little lamb. Yesterday morning, as Ole Bull was walking along Fourth street, followed by his little dog, a squad ot dog-catchers espied the canine, and noticing that Fido was not provided with a ticket-of-leave from Collector Wright, in the shape of a three-dollar brass medal, they marked him as a foe worthy ot their steel wire. One of the boys, carrying a wide noose behind his back, slipped cautiously up to Fido, aud with a dexterous turn of the wrist lassoed him. A dis tressing “yawp !” from the dog attracted the at tention of the musician, and, looking around, he saw his favorite in the hands ot the Philistines. Then ensued a scene at once ludicrous aud tragi cal. Ole Bull exclaimed, “ Mein Gott! vot you do wiz mein little dog!” “He ain’t got no ‘C. T. P.’ on,” replied the dog-catcher, “ and we’s goin’ to impound him.” “ I will pound you if you let him not go,” said the fiddler, taking hold of the dog and freeing him from the noose. The dog ran lor life, the dog-catcher pursued, half a dozen newsboys fol lowed, and Ole Bull brought up the rear. Several times the catcher threw out his noose, which tie iog eunninn'Jr dodged. jOle greatly agi tated, and was no doubt iungry enough fo~anniUi late every dog-catcher in the city. Being unable, however, to keep up with the chase, he resorted to strategy. Taking a position in an open door on Chestnut street, he whistled to the dog, and the sagacious animal ran in, and bounding up the stairs, was soon safe from pursuit. Ole Bull then secured him, and the fiends of tbe dog-pound were cheated out of a victim. — St. Louis Democrat. A New Movement in the West. —A movement is now on foot in the West looking to the forma tion of “ Farming Guilds” in that section. The farmers of several of the Western States and also those ot Calfornia, are considering this subject, while in Illinois and lowa conventions of farmers have been held for the purpose of protecting their crops from what they call confiscation by combi nations of speculators aud railroad managers. And their example is being followed in California, where the papers advise the farmers to organize secret associations for the purpose of more effect ive concert and co operation. The members of these guilds or societies in Illinois and lowa de clare they were forced to combine and adopt cer tain line* of action because farmers had found it im possible to ship grain to Chicago and pay freights and commission. They were relapsing into a pas toral condition; but, by a united effort to bring down freights and commissions they made grains once more staple, with a fair chance of a profi table market. The societies, it is further said, invite bids from merchants to furnish supplies to members, under the guarantee of having their trade. Contracts were awarded to merchants who agreed to famish supplies at ten per cent, advance on cost prices. The societies appointed commit tees to examine bills of invoice, and to the cost add ten per cent, and freight. A schedule of prices was provided for the guidance of the purchasers, and thus the prices were certain. Each member had a pass-book, in which wero entered his pur chases. During the first quarter after this ar rangement was made, many of the members saved as much ar slS4and S2OO as compared with the old way. These associations are increasing in number in all parts of the West, and are fast becoming a power iD that section. The President, in his message, suggested the propriety of his being authorized to extend an in vitation to the international Statistical Congress to hold its next session in the United States. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs will report a bill, giving the President the authority he desires. The Congress has already held sessions at the capitals of Belgium, Austria, France, Great Brit ain, Prussia, Italy, Holland and Russia, by invita tion of the respective governments of those coun tries. The next session of Congress will doubt less be held in Washington. The labors of the Congress are directed to the advancement of the science of international statistics, the uniformity of coinage weights and measures, and commercial regulations and statistical publications between the different nations of the civilized world. That agent of the Evil One, Oakes Ames, has been rusticating up in Massachusetts for several days, but he telegraphs to Washington that he will be on hand next Monday with that memo randum book of his, which contains several addi tional receipts for dividends on the Credit Mobilier stock signed by members ot Congress. If the train which bears Mr. Ames to Washington jumps the track and wipes him out of existence, we presume we will have a right to regard the episode as a miraculous interposition. *4 The Postmaster General has issued advertise ments for bids for the new penny postal cards. It ia the intention of the Department to have the cards ready for issue by the first of May. It wil be impossible to make the necessary arrangements sooner. The Postmaster General has already re ceived orders for the new cards in such numbers as to lead him to believe that $100,000,000 of them will be issued tie first year. The World’s Washington correspondent tele graphs that there was a general laugh in the Sen ate on Thursday last when Senator Ramsey endeavored to call up his Postal Telegraph bill. The conviction grows stronger each day that this measure will uot even reach the dignity of discus sion the present session.
