The A. k G. Knilroad Eitnitdoii.
At pr< wmt the most stuiHmdouu nioasure be
fore the legislature is a bill granting ftrv vuUion*
dollars State aid to the extension of the Atlantic
A Gulf Railroad. It is claimed the State has
one million invested in tharoud.aud by thin time
ly aid cahoot only revitalize its torpid energies,
but make it a saht and prolUnbk* iuveatmotif,
w ith chiiucoH for a prospective thirty-five per
emit. divid* iid.
Numerous tabular statement* are furnished
by the zealous parties interested, showing the
commerce ot No' a anil Mobile, and the
amount of travel anil freightage likely to be di
verted by the extension of proposed line.
Now, while all this may be very clear, and w hile
Georgia’s interests might be better protected by
the proposed aid.it is a strikingly noticeable
fact at the present time that the pressing de
mands of our finances forbid any outside diver
sions ol tho public funds from their legitimate
lines* The State is no condition to extend the
aid. Besides, if lur exchequer were full, the
precedent set would be objectionable because of
its furtherance of private, enterprise. The State
should afford to wait for the realization of her
large dividends, and liend all of her energies, at
present, to the gradual liquidation of her bond
ed and other indebtedness.
It is also questional w hether so large an in
vestment is Judicious, w hen the property created
thereby shall be subject to the legislation of Ala
bama. Gan we, as a State exercise any control
of the extension to Bollard? We say if sneb
permission wvre granted, flier* would be conJliet
of Stab 1 authority before the lapse of twelve
months. We think a better plan to solve tho
difficulty would he the sale of tlic State’s inter
est in the Atlantic A Gulf Hoad to private indi
vidual* or a corporation.
Georgia Krfiudinteri Bonds.
Thomas L. Sneed, of New York City, agent
and representative for the parties holding the il
legal bonds issued under Bullock, has made a
very important proposition to Governor Smith,
j lie proposes to surrender all these bonds to the
j State for eatieellation, on condition that the
State shall refund to the holders the original
I sum invested, say $*.,700.0110, iu legal State
* bonds bt aring seven per cent interest, lit fur-
I flier proposes to loan tbe State suc h other sums
!as she may desire, amount not to exceed sl,-
000,000.
As there is likely to grow out of the fraudulent
issue some very vexed quest ions that will militate
against four State credit, we think tho Legisla
ture would do well, and act for the welfare of
tin- country, to accept Mr. Sneed’s proposition.
Although we consider the payment of one dollar
of these bonds a clear loss to the State, there is
no question but that the acceptance of this offer
will relieve our State finances of an inconveni
ent pressure at this juncture, to say nothing of
tbe enhanced value that will attach to all our le
gal bonds now hold in New York and Europe.
While our bonds are quotably higher on the
New York boards than those of any Southern
State, it is a significant fact that they are not tn
kuu at uIL Tho howl set up against us at the
conclusion of the labors of the Georgia Bond
| Committee in New York, by Henry Glows,seems
| to have had ite efiect in injuring our fiuauciul
standing abroad. Our refusal u> moot promptly
the payment of tbe infamous Bullock bonds,they
pronounce boldly a quasi repudiation of our iu
del<U diu sH. While we are willing and able to
sustain all legitimate indebtedness ot the State
government, we are not ready to surrender our
resources and fair fame to a set of corrupt bond
j gamblers, who regard no more the demands of
j right and justice than tlidjWb th<3 infamous
memory of their puppet, Bullock.
Gov. Smith has sought very eminent
on this question, and it is thought that at an
early day he w ill recommend the 1 .egtaluku‘s'
accept the proposition of tho bond holders, oL
ft*red through Mr. Sneed.

beautiful plains, stretching from the loot of the
Eastern Pyrenees in lat. 42 25 deg., to the De

Since the German War, the territory has been
reduced to 122,000,000acres,of which two-thirds
are cultivated and one-third is arable. About
5,000,000 are iu vineyards and us many more

Paris is a city of great antiquity, having In c a

found these Paris ii in possession of Lutctia,
which they defemled bravely, but filially yielded
to the Roinuu General. In the course of years,
Lutctia became the capital of all North Gaul.
In tho Fifth Century, Clovis, at the head of the
Franks, conquered it, and himself embraced
Christianity. In the Twelfth Century, Phillip
Augustus built the Castle of the Louvre, paved
the streets and built many churches. The
Schools were all united under a common name

was 1437 and 143N. Under the reign of Louis XI
the city reached 300,000 souls and enjoyed great
prosperity. In 1470 the first printing press and
post-office were established. Religions wars
wvre commenced under Charles IX which ended
with the massacre of St. Bartholomew. About
this time the Tuiileries and Hotel de Ville were
commenced, which ended the brilliant but ex
travagant reign of Louis XIV, who built the pre

succeeded; followed by Louis XVI, then, the
Revolution, restoration of the Bourbons, Ac.
From 1830 to 1848 Louis PhiUippe added new

In 1848 the Revolution came, Napoleon 111. was
President; iu 1852, Emperor, and then

Ohio au annual loss of sheep of $1,000,000 iu
injuries a loss eqhiyalent to (>,000,000 pounds
of wool, or a tax of two per cent, upon the total ■
sum inverted in sheep in that State. It is stud |
that iu two years, from 18tkS to 1870, Illinois I
sank from the sixth to the ninth rank among ,
the States iu the number uud value of its sheep, j
and this great falling off is attributed to the pro-1
portiouate increase in the number of dogs, an*l
the lack of proper legislation to prevent their
ravages among the sheep. Jn Maryland the

killed in one year by dogs.
Death of Commodore Maury.- The Tele

Commodore Matthaw Fontaine Maury, which
oocured at one r. m. at hi* rerideuc© in Lex
ington, Va. Mot only will the sad news bo re
ceived with deepest regret throughout the South,
to whose cause he dedicated and devoted some
of the best years of his life, but by tbe country
at large and by the entire civilized world, that
has been benefitted by his devotion to science, his
researches and discoveries. Few Americans
have ever attained the enviable distinction
among the scientific men of the old world—few
have worn their laurels with so much modesty
as he. Among the more important of his works
were the “Letters Upon tho Amazon," “The At
lantic Elopes of Booth America, “The Relation
Between Magnetism and the Circulation of the
Atmosphere,’’ "Observations Upon the
cal Geography of the Sc*," etc. At the break
ing out of the Lite war, he was in charge of the
national observatory, but. with others of the old
army and navy, believing hi* allegiance should
; l >(* first to his State, he tendered his sword to
the young Confederacy, and served through all
the vicissitudes attending its brief career. At
his death he was Professor of Physic* at the
Virginia Millitary School. Sovannah Advertiser.

Mr. Hemphill has discharged the duties of bis
office with great fidelity. His work, so far as we j
have Keen it, has been well and faithfully execu

Mr EstiU, the new State Printer, is as fully

|or even the South. A practical printer, a fine

j wu guarantee that the duties of the office w ill
j be well and faithfully performed.
I It is a matter of no re joicing that the one was
! defeated or the other triumphant in tliis contest
| between Mr. Hemphill and Mr. Estill. It. is
natural, and it is doubtless right, that rotation
in office is proper enough in a free country like
ours. The vote receiv' and by both gentlemen

The introduction of the terms (redit I'oncicr

The heaviest corn crop ever grown in the
United States was that of last v*ar, which the

average being nearly forty-one bushels an acre.
Unfortunately for some ot those who would like
to have the lowa corn, it takes the price of four
bushels of said corn to get one bushel to the

why some people are demanding cheaper trans

For three years this Fertilizer has been fully tested, and has given entire satisfaction. We can
not afford to sell cheaper withont depreciating the article, which we will not do. Its uniformity
has been fully tested both by analysis and experiment each year, reflecting great credit on the ca
pacity and integrity of our manufacturer.
Our agent at Blakely, Ga., wrote us, that many would buy ours in preference,if we would sell
as cheap as another article extensively used in that section. This article costs the planter at Blake
ly less than ours costs ns laid down at the same place. How can we sell it as chep ? This cheap
article, ou our experinicut plat this year, failed to pay for itself .by 9 cents per acre, while ours
paid a nett profit of $10.27 per acre on the price sold to customers.
It is also worth of note that 200 our Guano Comdound, costing $66 a ton, applied to an
an a are, only costs 86 cents more thaithe cheapest at 551.40 per ton. If it makes only 15 lbs.
more of seed cotton, it pays the differe in dost: 101 lbs.will pay the whole cost of the fertilizer.
In 1871, on inv plat, 200 lbs. made 41®>s. more than natural tori; in 1870, 540, and in 1872,
297 lbs. B. T. Harris, of Hancock eot*y, made 390 lbs. more; John E. Smith, of McDuffie, with
126 lbs., made 321 in excess; Col. E. .T. Tlocitr and Rov. T. B. West, of Columbia county, made
with 300 lbs. per acre each 655 and 592 pounds more than natural soil, and for the last three years
I made 623, 707 and 307 pounds with 300 pounds per acre more than the natural soil.
