of labor in that section. It says that a lawyer of
that city recently sent a constable with warrants
alter two negroes. The employer took the con

allow them to be arrested. The constable bowed
to the force of circumstances, and left.
The Supreme Court has decided that the lieu
given by the Act of 1865 to merchants and factors
upon growing cropi lor provisions and commer
cial manures furnished, does not extend to a case
where a lien is claimed for money advanced, with
which the planter is to purchase provisions and
commercial supplies ; and a note given for mon
ey, which upon its face recites that the money la
to be used to purchase provisions, does not create
a debt securable by the lien provided for by said
act.

Tnß “local” of the Telegraph and Messenger
gets of! a good one by saying: An intelligent
stranger, who knows notliiug of tbe natural re
sources of Georgia, if stnuding where be could see
the immense avalanche of bread and meat rolling
along tbe Btate road, would very probably arrive
at one of two conclusions: that there had been a
terrible famine In Georgia, or that the lands of
this State are too poor to grow corn and wheat.
White neither la necessarily true, both are practi
cally so.

ta think there is a Job in this brick business.
JI DGK Hall.—The GriflialNewe, which express

of this gentleman as Judge of the Flint Circuit,
has this to say of him now:
Judge Hall has made a very favorable impres

HU discipline is mild, but firm, and he enforces
the rule* of the conrt rigidly; has the best of
order preserved, bis charges are brief but clear,
and the result is, business Is dispatched rapidly.
If he should continue as he has commenced his
Judicial career, the people will be satisfied.

resigning the Secretaryship, his resignation to
take effect on February Ist. The resignation has
not yet been withdrawn, but haa been verbally
modified at the request of the President, to aa to

Tub railroad lines are trying to run anew and
heavy schedule. From the Coustilutionalist we
learn that the Superintendent of the Nash
ville and Chattanooga railroad, the Other day,
telegraphed to the Superintendent of the Geor
gia railroad, Augusta, stating that there were
one thousand loaded car* in Chattanooga, and In
quiring whether they coaid bs sent through to
Augusta without the trouble and delay attendant
upon railroading at Atlanta. A reply in the
affirmative was telegraphed back, and the cars
will therefore come through from Chattanooga to
Augusta.
The Griffin News says : From a gentleman from
the low country, we learn that Houston county,
in some places, is almost depopulated in the way
of laborers. He tells ns of oue plantation that a
short while since was well stocked with hands,
which now has not one on it, and the owner is
left with fifty mules and hundreds of broad acres
to look after. He further informs us that there
are large numbers of uegroes in camp near Macon
waiting an opportunity to get into the interior or
go West. Thousands of negroes have gone into
Florida or elsewhere, and Southwest Georgia is
feeling it. This state of affairs can be traced di
rectly to the influence of these immigration agents
who lure them off by lair promises be
fulfilled. They entice these laborers away from
their employers tad they ought to b prosecuted
The Next Stute Fair.
Major ilufl settled the question of the location,
acd turt morals, of the next S.ate Fair, very
quickly. Of the manner of hia proceeding au Au
gusts correspondent of the Herald has this to
say:
The Executive Committee determined to hold
ihe next lair in Macon. The nature of two of the
premiums offered gave rise to a very lively dis
cussion. Mayor Hutf came to Augusta for the
purpose of aiding the convention so lar as he could
in any suggestions that might be serviceable to
them in their present arraugements. He
made the following proposition, which was ac
cepted. In making it, he stated that he was em
powered an authorised by his council to put it in
that shape that if it was accepted as offered, he
stood then and there ready to clofe the contract
but if rejected or even modified it would be nec
essary for bim to return to Macon and again con
sult his council before making anew proposition.
His proposal was as follows: Macon agrees to
pay the entire premium list if it should not exceed
nine thousand dollars, to pay the society five
thousand dollars to defray the expenses of officers,
provided she is allowed to offer five thousand
dollars in the following premium :
For the best ten bales of upland cotton (1,000
For the best five bales of upland cotton 500
For tbe best six mule team 500
For tbe best two bales of sea island cotton.... 250
For the best ten acres ol oats 250
For the best ten acres of wheat 250
For the best ten acre* of corn 250
For tbe best trotting mule, heats best 3 in 5.. 500
For the best racing, three mile heats 500
The two last premiums, which clearly contem
plate having a good race, were objected to, and
thus arose tbe discussion. It was, however, de
cided in favor of allowing the horses to go against
each other and not against time, and here the
matter is closed for the present at least.
We are to have racing at Macon next fall, pure
and simple; and If Huff gets Bassett and a few
others ol like celebrity to come on, I predict the
largest crowd ever assembled in Georgia, even if
it is regarded as a little wicked to witness horses
run or trot unless they go against “ old time.”

Atlanta, Ga., February 14.—Ex-Governor
Brown and James Gardner have written letters
favoring Colonel Snead’s proposition to compro
mise with the State of Georgia on the part of
American oondhohlers, who propose to surrender
7,000,000 bonds if the State issue bonds to amount
ol if 1,060,5000 which they will take at 90 cents ou
the dollar. _ The Legislature is not prepared to
give it serious consideration, as public opinion
is considered to be thoroughly averse to a com
promise. No amount ol outside pressure can in
duce favorable consideration from the Legisla
ture, as it is believed the issue of new bonds just
authorized, amounting to #1,200,000, hearing 8
per cent., can be negotiated ou favorable terms.
Judge Hall and General Barning are opposed to
a compromise, but it is stated that other promi
nent citizens favor it. The people do not see the
necessity (or it. Yet ail usury laws have beeu re
pealed, capital invested in cotton and woolen
mills is exempt from taxation lor ten years, and
iron furuaees and manufactuied iron are also ex
empt for the same period. This has become the
settled policy of the State, and companies being
organized under the general public law exempting
from taxation will stimulate manufactures in
Georgia. The State offers every inducement to
capital to seek an investment in developing the
manufactures and the coal and iron interest of the
State.
The names “Judge Hall and General Barniug’’
must mean Mr. Hull and General Benning.
A Rotal Visitor. —The Shah of Persia has no
tified the Governments at St. Petersburg, Vienna,
Berlin and Paris, that he expects to enter on his
travels during the present year. Such an event
being exceedingly uncommon, the Shah may
count confidently upon being the lion of the sea
son. He will travel jight royally. A small purse
of some ten millions of dollars has been made up
to defray bis expenses. He will come, then in
gorgeous splendor, with a retinue glittering in
barbaric gold and gems. His chief minister and
secretaries, his mollahs, his cup bearers, pipe
bearers and chamberlains, his dancing women and
his singing women, his guards and his military
household, will make a display that has not been
seen in Europe (or ages. His acceptance of an in
vitation to a ball will be the occasion of a scram
ble for tickets that will throw the favorite operas
of Patti Into the shade, and render the Sultan en
vious. Once in the room he will be the observed
of all observers, for the Jewels of Persia are said
to ba the finest in the world, and the natioual
dress one of the most picturesque and striking of
Oriental costumes.
Rbmarkablr Case.—A few days since, accord
ing to the Easton Argus, Dr. Small was called to
attend a young man ntfmed Clarence Abbott, who
was ill at his residence. Dr. Small discovered
unmistakable symptoms of lead .poisoning. It
appears that Abbott was wounded in the thigh by
a tuinnie bullet at the battle of the Wilderness In
13t>4, and that the bullet could not be found at the
time. He has suffered somewhat ever since. Dr.
Small and Gordon, on Saturday morning, ether
ised the patient, and proceeded to make a surgical
examination, which resulted in the discovery of
the ball in the thigh. The bnllet was encased in
' a bony substance of about tbe size of a goose’s
egg, the shell of which was one-fourth ot an inch
thick. The bullet had been tumbling about in
this cavity for eight years, and become worn and
polished as smoothly as though it had been done
on an eme,y wheel. Sufficient amount of the
lead, however, had permeated the encasiug and
entered the system to produce lead poisoning,
which would have proved fatal In a short time but
for the timely relief afforded. Mr. Abbott was
doing nicely at last reports.
How They Look.—Mrs. Ballou, lecturing on
spiritualism in Columbus, answered several ques
tions put her by her audience—among them the
following, as reported by the Enquirer:
“ You profess to have 6een spirits, what is their
appearance, and do children always remain in the
in lautlle condition f**
'* Spirits appear generally in the form as when
last seen on earth, and though bright and trans
parent are easily recognizable. The infant grows
in statnre as well as in the flesh, though not alto
gether so rapidly. If it should wish to manifest
itself to its mother, it would appear as she last
saw it. In the matter cf teaching, they do not
soon become sufficiently developed to instruct
their superiors on earth."
FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 25. 1873.
Washington Items.
TUe House Ways and Means Committee have
decided to report a bill retunding to persons in
tbe South, whose property was sold for taxes, the
amour* ot taxes, the amount received from such
• ales, exclusive of cost of gale and taxes due. The
amount involved is some (7,C00,C00, which is now
in the Treasury. The measure is a just one and
should meet the approval of Congress.
On the 18th the Credit Mobilier Committee
made a unanimous report. This completely ex
onerates Mr. Blaine, the Speaker of the House
of Representatives of anything wrong. With re
gard to Schofield, Dawes, Bingham, Kelley and
Garfield, the report says that while they held stock
in the Credit Mobilier for a short time, the com
mittee think3 that making the investment with the
knowledge of the heavy profits was a suspicious
circumstance, but they attach no corrupt motives
to these men. The report aiso states that James
Brooks, of New York, demanded and received
one hundred and fifty shares of Credit Mobilier
stock, corruptly knowing that the same was in
tended to infuence him ns a legislator and a3 a
director of the Pacific railroad. They report
Oakes Ames of Massachusetts guilty of bribery
and attempted bribery and the committee unani
mously recommend the expulsion of both Brooks
and Ames. The roport is to be considered to-day,
and Ben. Butler is announced as a defender of
both parties. Oakes Ames is defiant and threat
ening. He says that there will be a perfect
shower of memorandum books if the House dares
to pass the resolution expelling him. Brooks, on
the contrary, is very much dejected.
A New York dispatch of the 17th, states that
President Grant’s Southern tour will be of the
greatest significance to the people of that section.
The President contemplates starting on the 20th
of March, and expects to be accompanied by
nearly all his Cabinet, besides many distinguished
gentlemen, Senators, members of Congress, and
others. Richmond, Virginia, will be the first
stopping place. It is tbe President’s purpose to
make this the initial movement in his next admin
istration, in the attempt to harmonize the people
of the North and South. He will look into the
condition of the South socially, and the local gov
ernments of the States to be visited. At Rich
mond, and other places along the line of his visit,
preparations are being made to give him an en
thusiastic reception.
Anew point has been raised in Congress. In
the discussion on the appropriation for a public
building at Memphis in the House last week, the
question being on the State ceding its jurisdiction
over the property to the General Government, the
fact was elicited that where a State cedes suchjur
isdiction a place is left where the criminal laws
of the State are not in force, where pick-pockets,
etc., cannot be arrested by State, or city, or town
authorities, and were even the marriage laws of
a State do not operate. The bill for the public
building at Atlanta provides for the ceding of
such jurisdiction on the part of the Btate; but it
is proposed to pass a general law establishing con
current jurisdiction to meet this and other cases
of like nature.
Bow Corn foe Foddbu.—llay at two dollars
per hundred pounds! Who can stand this ex
pense t Let us get rid ot it for another
How f Iu the absence of permanent meadow and
for this year’s use by sowing corn for fodder fer
horses aud cattle.
Make a piece of ground very rich, either with
barn-yard manure or commercial fertilizers. It
will be of little use to attempt to sow corn for
fodder on land in ordinary condition.
It must be made very rich. Break It up deeply.
Lay eff the ground in rows tlire feet apart. Sow
the corn iu furrows at the rate of three bushels
per acre. Cover with a furrow and roll. Keep
the ground clean by one or more workings with
the plow if necessary.
Four tons of good dried fodder may be expected.
On very rich land a good deal more than that
amount. Allowing one ton to the horse for tbe
working season, one acre should give fodder to
five horses, or cattle.
We advise this expedient for “ roughness ” by
all means. With a good cutting knife, horses and
cattle will eat the whole of the stalks, which
should be cut down and cured as soon as they are
iu tassel.
Teu acres iu sowed corn ought to keep well fifty
head of horses, mules and cattle during the win
ter, allowing for the cost of manure. The expense
Is a trifle compared with that of fodder, which is
the least remunerative product of the farm.
Those who have never seen corn sowing for
fodder carried to perfection, and who live within
reach of Atlanta, should visit Gov. J. E. Brown’s
corn patch, within the limits of the city aud ad
joining his residence. From a fragment of an
acre he annually raises fodder enough to support
a pair of horses and a cow, usually with a surplus
left. The amount of fodder which he obtains
from this littlespot is increditably great. We will
not make an estimate for fear of seeming exagger
ation.— Herald.
Thb Forest divorae scandal, which occupied a
large share of public attention a good many year
ago, is likely to be revived in anew form. Mrs.
Forrest, who is now residing at Btaten Island, has
notified the executors that she intends to apply
for dower in the estate, on the ground that she
was never divoreed from her husband. The de
cree, at the time it was rendered, was rather a
singular one; but as it was obtained in a New
York court, no great surprise was manifested at
the peculiar position in which it left the parties.
Mr. Forrest alterwards made an effort to get a
divorce from his wife from the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, but failed. We presume the ques
tion of the marital relation existing between the
parties from the date of the decree by the New
York court, will be adjudicated by a Pennsylva
nia court.
Thb Dbby or New Orleans.— The Mayor of
New Orleans says : “ Inbound numbers the debt
of the city was about twenty-two and a quarter
millions December 31, 1872. To be more exact,
it was $22,245,978. The interest payable upon the
bonded part of this debt, for the current year,
will be $1,329,313. This amount does not include
accruing Judgments and contingent liabilities. It
must not be forgotten that the property of New
Orleans is liable for about three fifths of the debt
of the State, which greatly exceeds that of the
city. An estimate furnished to me by Auditor
Graham, in November last, put the funded, float
ing and contingent debt of the State at about
forty-two millions.”
Lakb Michigan* Frozen Over —The Milwau
kee Wisconsin of the 17th has the following:
“The propeller City of Fremont left for Grand
Haven, for the third time, last night, but was com
pelled to return, after having penetrated the ice
belt a distance ot only fourteen miles. During
the high westerly wind's of last week the ice was
never at spy time out of sight of land. At this
point since then it has constantly been added to
so that now it once more fills the bay. In view of
all the facts that can be ascertained, we have no
hesitancy in sayiDg that Lake Michigan, at this
point, where its width is eighty-five miles, is now
entirely bridged over with ice. varying in thick
ness from one to twelve feet. Never before within
the memory of the oldest living inhabitant has
this been known to occur.”

“In G-od we Trust.”
Gone Home.
Our hearts are sad and weary.
They sre aching st oar loss,
And we’ve bowed, and nearly fainting
’Neath the heavy, crushing cross.
For we dreamed not that our dear one
* Would so soon be called away •
Till the silver cord was loosened)
Broken from her life’s short day.
Early have her footsteps faltered,
Walking in tbe way of life;
Early wearied, she is resting
From the tumult of the strife.
She ha 6 left a world of sorrow.
Full of grief, and toil and pain,
And onr loss, though deep and heartfelt,
Infinitely is her gain.
Now she dwells in realms of gladness
In a glorious Heaven of love, ’
Walks among the shining angels
In the golden streets above.
While we still are moving onward,
Bowed with sorrow, care and pain,
From the land of rest and beauty,
Would we call her back again f
We, too,!soon shall hear the summons,
Hear the angels whisper “ Come,”
And we’ll pass the pearly portals
Of our bright eternal home.
There we’ll see our own loved one,
Who has only “gone before;”
There, within our Father’s mansion,
We shall meet to part no more.
Mbningitis—What a Post-Mortem Examina
tion Disclosed.— Dr. J. G. Thomas, of Savannah,
furnishes the News the following on the above
subject:
The communication of Dr. Knott, to which you
call my attention, seems to dispute the idea of its
being an inflammation. He says, addressing him
self to physicians, that we “ must discard the idea
of its being an inflammation,” and treat it accord
ingly. I have only had the opportunity of mak
ing an autopsy upon this one case, bat am free to
say that there were abundant evidences of inflam
mation in this case. I opened the brain and ex
amined every particle of it iu tbe presence of sev
eral of our physicians, and there was but one opin
ion expressed, which was that it was a high grade
ol inflammation ot certainly two ol the mem
branes—the arachnoid and the pia maler, which
are the two inner membranes lining the brain.
These two membranes entend into the spinal col
umn, which we also examined, and lound the
sarno results of inflammatory action there. Now
these are portions of the convolutions, or sulci,
as they are called, where these membranes do not
obtain, and in these we found no evidence of in
flammation, showing that it is confined to these
membranes, particularly to the arachnoid.
As fur as ray observation goes, which has not
been very large, it appears to be n wiuter disease,
and more likely to prevail in cold, damp seasons
of winter or early spring. I do not remember
ever seeing a case in summer, and am very much
inclined to the opinion that the large majority of
the cases can be traced to exposure. In some
places for years past, both in this country and
Europe, it has exhibited a decided epidemic ten
dency, and for this reason physicians have assigned
to it a specific cause. It may have a specific
cause (poison, for iustance, lurkiug iu the atmos
phere), but if so, like the causes of many other
diseases, we have never found it out. But, as re
marked above, the only existing cause that I have
been able to assign to it is exposure to cold aud
dampness, and therefore great care should be ex
ercised in this regard, and particularly to avoid
cold, damp drafts of air wuile sleeping, aud after
getting wet to change to dry clothes as soon as
possible.
As regards the treatment of this disease, my
impressions are that most of the remedies that
have been suggested, and the plans of treatment
laid down “ sure cures” have thus far proved
Very unsatisfactory. All the cases certainly can
not be treated alike with any probability of suc
cess. The physician must be governed by the
circumstances of each case as he is called to them.
What would do oue good, would kill another, and
therefore no routine ot tiealment can be laid
down, but the good judgement of the physician
mt.6t guide him, and il hennas not good judgment,
he has no business attep pting the management,
of a case of cerebro-spinai Inen.ngitis.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
por 1873.
A Democratic Newspaper, Daily and Weekly—The
Favorite of all Classes—Lawyers, Merchants,
Farmers, etc.—Twelve reasons for Subsrcibing.
Th® Constitution is published at the Capital
ot the St ate, and contains Proceedings of the Leg
islature in full together with constant and accurate
information of the acting i of all the Departments
of the State Government.
2. It has the sole and exclusive right of publish
mg the Decisions of the Supreme Court from the
Reporter of the Conrt. These Decisions are de
livered on Monday of every week and are immedi
ately published in the Constitution. Hence every
lawyer in Georgia should take the paper, and the
greatproportion are subscribers.
3. The Constitution is the Official Journal of
the Btate, of the city ef Atlanta and a large num
ber of counties.
4. The Constitution publishes a weekly Cotton
Editorial, embracing remarks on the Gold Premi
um aud all matters effecting the cotton trade, with
statistics difficult to be obtained elsewhere. Pro
ducers and dealers lu cotton, not alone in Georgia
but all over the conntry, procure the Constitution
lor these articles.
The Constitution furnisbee Telegraphic Dis
patches and news from all quarters oi the globe,
including markets, domestic and foreign. Hence
a P£P® r * 8 P o P u l a r with merchants everywhere.
6. Besides our Daily Associated Press Dis
patches, The Constitution has Specials from Wash
ington, the National Capital.
7. Its Correspondence Department is nnsurpass
ed ‘ n fhe South, having special correspondents
at A ashington, New York, and in various parts ol
the country.
8. Ihe Constitution publishes a monthly Fash
ion Letter from New York, written by the most
celebrated female writer in the United States.
The ladies, therefore, all want the Constitution. *
9. Anew feature for this year will be Wee :*y
European Correspondence, by which tne readers
of the Constitution will betaken on a tour through
Europe.
10. The ablest writers and statesmen of Georgia
■elect the Constitution to give their views to the
public, and so do the people, and hence it is the
admitted leading Democratic Journal of the State.
1L ffhe two great specialties, our Supreme
Court Decisions (or the lawyers, and our cotton
articles for the merchants and farmers, make the
Constitution unrivaled in this part of the State.
13. For the reasons given above, the Constitu
tion is the paper for all classes, lawyers, mer
chants, farmers, mechanics and others, circulates
in every county of Georgia, has the largest State
circulation and is, therefore, the favorite medium
for advertisers.
Every Georgian should, after taking his own
local paper, subscribe for the Constitution, pub
lished at the Capital of his State; and we would
here return thanks to the people lor a patronage
that has culminated in the grandest newspaper
success known in the Southern States. The Con
stitution, not yet five years old, has attained a cir
culation never reached by a Daily paper in Geor
gi&y ADd has erected a magriificeot five story
building of its own, as complete as any in the
United States, giving employment to seventy or
eighty persons daily, and running a half dozen
presses by steam.
Visitors to Atlanta are cordially invited to call
and examine the Constitution building and its
powerful presses, printing four or five thousand
papers per hour.
