Jones, the efficient State Treasurer, informed us
yesterday that he had sold just $700,000 of the
new State bonds at par. This leaves only $500,-
000 to be disposed of. This flattering sale has
been made in the short space of five months. And
what is most extraordinary of all, only $50,000
of the amount have g„ne out of the State the
large proportion of $650,000 being taken up in the
State. Of the amount disposed of $150,000 were
exchanged.
The pious “ local” of the Marietta Journal does
“ his nest” up in this style:
“Good Lord deliver us from these narrow
minded and selfish individuals whose selfishness
prevents them from seeing anything worth com
mending in others. They are like the snail which
sees nothing but its own shell acd thinks it the
grandest palace in the universe. They will del
uge you with a stream of gab unceasingly, which
if boiled down would not contain one common
sense idea. Marietta has always been afflicted
with this class, 'lheir tides are as full of mean
ness as a mule Is full of t icks.”
.**
Coming events cast their shadows before, says
the Richmond Enquirer, not dimly, however, but
darkly; and the second century of American inde
pendence bids fair to open with anew political
•ra, unless, indeed, the virture that is still extant
in the country shall be so fully aroused and thor
oughly organised as to resist the designs of the
enemies of liberty. At present, with the lights
before ns, there is every danger that the predic
tion will be fulfilled, and the first step will be the
election of Ulysses S. Grant for a third term, and
his iallure to rebuke the nomination aiready made
gives color to his alleged ambitious designs; for
who can deny, when he himself is silent, that he
is not plotting the overthrow of republican liber
ly on the American continent?
More Confederate Archives for Sale
John T. Pickett, whose sa c of Confederate Ar
chives to the United States Government for $75,-
000, some time ago, produced such a stir through
out the country, ha* written a letter to the Balti
more Bun, in which he gives a schedule of another
batch of Confederate Archives, which he says has
been recently “delivered to the heir-at-law and
universal legatee ol the long extinct Confederacy,
the United Slates Government.” Mr. Pickett
says that be was “not employed as attorney in
this transaction, and consequently didn’t get an
other aevtnty-five thousand dollars or any part
thereof.” He says also, that “ Gen Geo. E Pick
ett, of the late Confederate army,” bad no hand
In the delivery of the Archives, although he is
credibly informed that other distinguished Con
federates had a finger in the pie. The following
is the schedule which Mr. Pickett says ha3 been

Free Exchange—Franking.— The Richmond
Dispatch, of Monday, waxes hot on these subjects.
It says: We suppose no one entertains a doubt
that Congreeß will resume the franking privilege
at its next session, and try to purchase the silence
of the watchdogs of the press by restoring to them
the privilege of receiving their exchanges free
through the mails. The object of the last Con
gress in repealing the law granting these two
privileges was to wreak its spite upon the news
papers and secure their alliance when the two
should again be restored. We are ashamed to
say that Beast Butler and his clan have succeeded.
From the impecunious press all over the country
comes the cry that the privilege of receiving ex
changes free through the mails must be restored ;
and the same papers are. of course, ominously
silent as to the frauds of the franking privilege.
Even a State association has been caught in this
trap. The “Georgia Press Association’’ has
passed, has printed in circular form, and has sent
to us and we suppose to thousands of editors
throughout the country, resolutions calling for
the restoration of this free-exchange privilege,
and asking all the editors in the country to form
a national press association, whose objects shall
be of the same praiseworthy character. We have
so often expressed our hostility to all such privi
leges that we have not felt much like doing so
again—especially in view of the fact that it is a
settled point that the old law is to be restored.
Yet our silence has not been due to any diminu
tion of our zeal in the good cause of having the
mails made *• cheap to all and free to none." Noth
ing can be sent through the mails that somebody
will not have to pay for transmitting. The only
question is, shall Congressmen and editors pay
for the transmission of their mail matter, or shall
they transfer the tax to the people? And as has
been often remarked before, the newspaper which
is not able to pay postage upon its exchanges
and the weekly paper whose patrons will not pay
five cents a quarter in the shape of postage upon
it, are excrescences that cannot too soon perish.
A paper that is thus by law pensioned upon the
public is a nuisance. It ought to be abated as
such. A paper that advocates the resumption of
the franking privilege by Congress in order that
it may have restored to it the privilege of receiv
ing its exchanges free is a disgrace to journalism.
In the name of reason, why should any paper be
supported by acts of Congress ? Why should our
law-makers feed with pabulum from the public
table these paupers that were better banished
from existence ? Why sustain out of the public
treasury papers which are so poorly patronized
that they cannot pay a hundred dollars per annum
in the shape of postage on their exchanges, and
live ?—papers upon which their so-called patrons,
but who are really their victims, are unwilling to
pay twenty cents per annum in postage ? It would
be lndlcrous if it were not so serious a matter.
The Rise and Mr. Dana, — 'Hie Atlanta Herald
has this to say on the action of the Washington
rings in attempting to force Mr. Dana out of the
jurisdiction of his own court for trial:
“ The arrogance of a ring of corrupt Washing
ton politicians, in endeavoring to drag Mr. Charles
A. Dana, the editor of the New York Sun, to the
Federal capital to answer a charge of libel, has
received s fitting rebuke in the decision of Judge
Blatchford, of the United States District Court of
New York. In refusing to grant the application
the Judge very properly held * that it would be
unconstitutional to send him for trial to a court
where there is no trial by jury, as in the police
court of the District of Columbia.’ We have not
received the full text of Judge Blatchford’s de
cision, but we trust that he did not permit the
opportunity to pass without denouncing the inso
lence of the men who, in attempting what is fit
ingly termed the abduction of Mr. Dana, thus
dared to strike a blow at about the last substan
tial element ot liberty left to this country—the
freedom of the press. It is gratifying indeed that
some of the old leaven remains in federal officials
when we find a federal Judge standing by the
rights of a citizen, and especially so when, as in
the case of Mr. Dana, that citizen is a thorn in the
side of tha powers that be. We congratulate our
New York confrere on his triumph and trust that
it is an augury of better days, when leaders of
rings and cliques who fatten at the tax payers ex
pense and study the philosophy, of * addition, di
vision and silence,’ will be looked upon by society
as the thieves and scoundrels that they really ire.”
An erudite insurance agent sent the following
dispatch to a western office just after the Boston
fire: “ Our companies sound as a nut. Loss will
not exceed SIOO,OOO. Advance rates 25 per cent,
and go ahead. Onr motto is still ‘ Soc et tu em.’ ”
The exposure of the scandals connected with
the Canadian Pacific railroad and Sir Hugh Allan’s
attempt to organize a board of directors, with him
self as president* in order to secure the govern
ment subsidy of $30,000,003 in cash, and 50,000,
006 acres of laud, continues to be the leading
topic in Canada.

Locust Grove, Ga., October 30,1872.
Mr. P. C. Sawyer, Macon, Ga:
Dear Sir—Enclosed find draft on Griffin Bank
ing Company for $l4O, as payment for onr gin,
with whieh we are well pleased.
Yours truly, H. T. DICKSON <& SON.
The abovelletter enclosed the following testi
monial, addressed.to Mr. Sawjer, viz:
Locust Grove, Ga., Oct., 30, 1872.
We, the undersigned planters, have witnessed
the operation of one of your Eclipse Cotton Gins,
which we think superior to any other gin we bavo
ever seen used. It leaves the seed perfectly clean,
and at the same time turns out a beautiful sample,
etc., H. T. DICKSON & SON,
E. ALEX. CLEVELAND.
M. L. HARRIS,
Mr. Daniel P. FergusoD, of Jonesboro, writes
under date of October 10, 1872, as follows.
I have your gin running. * * * I can say it
is the best 1 have ever seen run. It cleans the
seed perfectly. 1 have been raised in a gin house,
and I believe I know all about what should bd
expected in a first class cotton gin. I can gin five
hundred pounds of lint inside of sixty minutes.
The first two bales ginned weighed 1100 pounds,
from 3010 pounds seed cotton, bagging and ties
included.
Irwinton, Ga., October 7, 1875.
Mr. P. C. Sawyer—Dear Sir: The Cotton Gin
we got from you, we are pleased to say, meets onr
fullest expectations, and does all you promised it
would do. We have giuued one hundred and six
teen bales on it, and it has never choked nor broken
the roll. It picks the seed clean and makes good
lint.* We have had considerable experience with
various kinds of cotton gins, and can, with safety,
say yours is the best we have ever seen run.
THOMAS HOOKS,
ELIJAH LINGO.
Colonel Nathan Bass, of Rome, Ga., says he has
used Griswold’s, Massey’s and Taylor’s Gins, and
that he is now running a D. Pratt Gin in Lee co. t
Ga., and an Eagle and a Carver Gin in Arkansas,
and a “ Sawper Eclipse Gin” in Rome, Ga., and
regards the last named as superior to any of the
others. It picks faster and cleaner than auy other
gin with which he is acquainted. He says he has
ginned eighty-six baies with it without breaking
the roll.
Messrs. Cbildes, Nickerson & Cos., of Athens,
Ga-, writes : “ All the Sawyer Gins sold by us are
giving satisfaction. We will oe able to sell a num
ber of them the coming season.”
