This law provides that grand and pe nually for the keeping up of the property id for tho niaiDtenauoc of the inmates The tender va-. freely discussed, and the pponents ol the moasuro clearly stated their objection rested solely upon the fact, that the homo was not desired by tbo veterans themselves. That the universal sentiment ol the old veterans was to remain and spend their last days, even in poverty and amid privations, with tlioso they loved, aud with hose who loved them. It was distinctly disclaimed by the opponents that they were Influenced by penurious or sordid motives of econoipy, much less by a want of deep concern for the ighest wolfare of those so doar to tho hearts four people, our noble Confederate veterans. It was further urged, as the original design of the generous donors in providing a Home could not be carried out, since thoy prefer- red living with loved ones at homo, then let the bull lings or Home bo sold, and let the •iroceods bo invested to make an increasing prndon fund for these veterans. When put to a vote, it was found that tho Homo was ieclined by a voto of 91 to 02. Of the 94 voting ngainst the bill, 57 wero old v.lernns, and surely could not be charg ed with a lack of lovo or sympathy for tho old soldiers. Tho uction wuh predicated upon thoir knowledge of the views of their constituents and ol the strong, natural preferences and partialities of tho old soldiers, living in thoir several oouutits. The tax digosts trout tho 137 oounlies iu Georgia aro all in the oflioe of the Comptroll er-General and present un exhibit most grst Hying to all true Georgians. The values of all property is now $103,013, 3G4, being an inotsaso of $25,140,580 over the valuoB of last yonr. In only 10 of the 137 oounties in the state is there a doorcase in values. Tho largest inersaso ia values in any county is that in Fulton, where tho inorease is $0,279,024 nearly one-fourth of tho total increase ro ported in the state. This is oertninly su porb. The aggregate value of railroad property i $40,945,322 88, tin increase of $3,108,102.98 over last year. What Georgian is not proud of such a roc ord ! F. O. Hoffman, editor Times, Rocky Mount, Va., writes: "1 am pleased to say that Botanic lilood Balm is the best appe. tl/.or und tonic for delicato ponple I sv saw. It Bcle.l like a charm in my case." About I’omIoIIIci-m, lie result however arousod a furor in At lanta, that probably tended more to solidify deoisiou of tho opponents, thau to modi- or to chango tho voto. An indignation meeting was hold at the artesian well on Thursday night, influmma y speeches were mado, and tho tickle populace was goaded to fronzy. The cry on to the capitol" was startod by the mud. leuod crowd, who thought to tiud tho legis lature then iu session. Finding the doors closed, they broko tho house, and in yells mid shrieks vented thoir pent up spleen. Tho action of the leg iaiatnre may liavo hoen a miHtako. Should so prove, tho people, the old conlodorates themselves, will never ohargo them with uu worthy or unpatriotic notives in voting an they did,(bat will say their error was one ol tho head and not of tho heart. The Hkimld oskod Judge Newman, a oil known Oonfedernte, if ho knew of any Confederates in this coimtv who would avail themsnlvcs of tho Homo. Ho replied that lie had takeu somo pains to ascertain if thoro any, and that thoro was not net one, who would accept of a home there and leavo his kiudrud and irionds be hind. This is significant, when a oouuty that scut out 10 or 12 oouipunies has not a siuglo veteran, willing to go to tho Home. A similar stutemont was rocently published regard to Coweta, whioh sent to tho war about the same number of companies, The Constitution ol yesterday, however gives the gratifying announcement, that tho Home will he sated, and tho patriotic de signs of the donors will bo carried out. A plau suggested by Cnpt. P. II. Brewster has been adopted, that allows partios to sub scribe *1,000 in Hioek, but requires only tho iutorest of 7 per coDt. to bo annually paid At the end of 20 years he will have paid in $1,400, and then tho property it is though will lie worth $250,000, if not $580,000. If the voto of the 01 wns nn enror, it will ho forgotten, long bcloro tho ill advised nc tiou ol that artesian crowd on Thursday uight, will fade from tho mouiory. A now poatoUioe, Irene, two miles from Lindsey, bus just been established, Mr. Joli F. Walker postmaster, Tho Ukuald sends good list to this new ottloo.

But few oouuties can boast of a Urg er number of postoflloes, or of bettor mail faoilttics than old Washington. Liy a recent regulation in the postoflice d partmeut at Washington City, it is made the duty of the postmaster at ttie county seat visit tho various oilioes iu the oouuty, iu spect the books, axamiue into their condition aud also inquire as to the eligibility of the location of the offloo as to centrality, couvo, nioioo of tho publio, Ao. Dr. Roberts, post master here, has received instructions to make inspection of postofficos of this county The iucrease in business of the Handera- villo office was greater the past year than' that in any other ot the 3d class offices of the , Htate. The salary iu 18 of these offices was raised for the present year. Iu this of flee, it was increased $300, from $1,600 $1,800. Iu LaGrango and Tallapoosa, said aries were raised $2u0 each; and $100 each in Albany, Barnesville, Carrollton, Cedar- town, Cuthbert, Gainesville, Griffin, Hawk- insville, Madison, Milledgeville, (Juilman, Valdosta, Washington, Waycrous, aud Waynesboro. Albany is the only ouo of these third class oilioes that pays u larger salary than San- desville. That office pays $1,900, but rate of increase was less than that in this oSfioe.

During tbo last half oentury there has boon a wonderful development in what is known as sanitary science. It is a Bcienoe th»t looks to the prevention of diseases iu communities through the medium of cleanii ness, and it commends itself most urgently to the oommou sense of tho people. Mean while, it should be borne in mind that tho human system stands In need ot sanitation and requires even more care than tho mu nicipal body. It is precisely boro that S. S The following new bills have been intro, dnood - By Mr. 7/arris of Washington: To require oomnron carriers to reoeivo live stock for transportation; to prescribe their liability therefor. This bill providos that it shall bo the duty of all common carriers in tho stats to receive for transportation all livestock and domoHtio animals, when tendered for shipment, with out requiring said consignor to ooutract lor a liability less than the notual valuo of such live stock or domestio animals in case of loss or injury to the samo. Providod, common carriers shall not bo required to recoivs dis eased or physically disabled animals for shipment. All stipulations in contractu ol shipments harc-aUer mado whioh limit the liability of common carriers in violation oi the preceding seotion, shall bo void. When common carrier roluses to receive live stook or domestic animals, shall bo liable to the ownor ior damages accruing from such refusal. The bill by Mr. Munroe of Calhoun provl- des that the county authorities controlling the finances ol any county in this state shall, through tho oortifioate of two or more resi dent practicing physicians, find un indigent Confederate soldier, who from wounds or disease contracted in tho war is unable to support himself, shall, through the recom mendation of two-thirds of the members of the grand jury of his own county, bo enti. tied to u pension of $100 per year. This bill was Introduced to provide for those Confed erate veterans that can't be reached direct, aud for which the Soldiers' 7/ome was inten ded. Tho house committee or- gcnerul judiciary reported favorably on tho loltowiug hills: Mr. do Blowiiz, will coulribnto a strikiti nrticlo to tho September number of Harpor's Magazine on "Germany, Franco, and gener European Politics.” In Ibis paper be pro- poses to forecast and trace tho futuro politics Europe until, as he says, "tho new cats lysm, which iH bound to happen, and wbiol ill again chango its l'aco, according to tho issue of tho combats which will tlion bo fought out. I wish the reader who follows me to tli ond to obtain as a reward of his patieuco a logical acquaintance with tho oxoiting polit ical situation of Europe, and so to bo able to sntiolpate tho great event* whioh ’will take placo at n period whioh I shall oUurly indi cate, thongh I cannot, oi course, spoeily the exact dato. T wish that Toader to compre hend why the crushing armamonts witli which Europe has loaded horsolf will neither accelerate nor roturd by a single hour the inevitable catastrophe ; why the war will broak out against tho will of Europe, yet by the spontaneous notion of nil ; and why the alliances now contracted will do nothing to prevent tho war, nnd will uo longer oxist when it breaks out. It is because tho pages I aiu writing contain truths whioh people could not or dare not yet utter that I fuel bold enough to write them, being convinced that even if I nm contradicted, I shall have brought to light symo tilings whioh it is well should bo known, and others for which it is well people should bo prepared.” Tho Tentulle Institute opened tho Fall session on Monday under the direction of L’rof.
