Excessive
In our current history nothing Is more marked |
than a desire on the part of our few maker* to
perorate useless legislation on the country.
Each member feels it incumbent to father some
bill which may serve as a compensation to his
constituent*, and inform them ot his general ef
ficiency ns a law maker. This lav-making ma
nia i* telling sadly on tho Republicanism of
American government, already derided by the
Monarchists of the Old World, and pointed at
a* a miserble fiasco on popular Democracy. Oar
statutory law* af© already too difficult of mastery,
ho great is the conflict between different laws
bearing on tbe same question. Onr State Legis
lation has little or no stability in it, the passion
for change being so paramount a* to preclude
the possibility of permanence.
Special legislation i* os reprehensible a* it is
injudicious, and should be prohibited by con
stitutional enactment Jhe marked effect of thin
restraint in seen in the constitutions of the States
Tennessee, Illinois and Ohio, who, since the en
actment < f judicious limitations on legis'ation, are
stepping out boldly in the march of progress aud
financial stability.
Excessive taxation is invariably a concomitant
of this plethoric legislative spawn,bearing heav
ily upon tlie people, who are little capacitated
to endure it. It is unfortunate tlmt a morbid
ambition for internal improvement should pos
se** onr legislatures in times when other ami
more vital questions should engage them. Our
Finances are in afar moro critical condition tlum
our politics, or other interests that effect our
State machinery. Let legislation be directed to
the accomplishment of onr financial permanence,
so that our bonds may become negotiable, and
the pressing necessities of the present he reliev
ed. This i m the duty of tin* hour. Let the Htate
become able to meet the accruing interest on
her bonds and tbe requirements of her interna!
polity, before aid is extended to any enterprise
or corporation looking to the development of
our resources, or th* protection of Htate invest
ment*.
Ho great is the perplexity arising from tiu
multiplicity of personal and local legislation,
that the Legislature has frittered away a large
portion of its time, which should have been do
voted to the grave matters of State polity. What
of the Legislative Reduction bill, the Revenue
bill, and the bill for determining the status of
Fraudulent Bond* ? These are important meas
ures, and should be dsalt with a a manner be
coming the necessitous condition of our finances
and the earnest needs ot civil reform.
At no time, more than at present, have we
needed a practicali'direction given to affairs.

PARIS PLAN OF THK CITY POPCRAriON URIDOJCS,
HOT'LX VAR os RTRKETS HOW PAUIH LOOKS.
We do not propose to write a guidebook of
Bari*, or base our observations, altogether, on
the views of others; but, we want to give our
readers an idea of this unrivalled city, whose
bounty and splendor, for ages pant, have excited
the unbounded admiration of tlis world.
Barir is surrouuded by two low hill* or ridge*,
divided into two p.vrts by the Seine, like Lon
don is by the river Thame*. Tho form of the
city is nearly circular and measures 15 mites iu
circumference.
Baris i laid oft' most beautifrilly, with boule
vards, streets, avenues, ornamented by statues,
garden* mid fountain*, that never cense to delight
the eye. It contains 1,350 streets, 204 paved
avenues and 30 Boulevards, 09 public establish
ments, 28 bridge* and 38 quays.
There are two pretty little islands, “Isle of the
City" and "Isle of St. Louis" formed iu tho river
Seme. On one side of thestrecta the house* are
all numbered even; on the other side, ode. The
houses in Paris all look buff or yellow, covered
with red tyte roof*. 'I hey are constructed prin
cipally of stone, and stuccoed with a preparation
like cement, which nm.v bo carved into many
beautiful styles and shapes before the external
coating dries. Exposure harden* this finish a*
hard a* a rock, and we were told it was very
durable, fine of it* most charming features, i
the uniform style of architecture to be Keen on
all the streets and boulevard*. The hou.se* an*
generally four stone* high, and well situated.
Paris contains n population of 2.000,000 soul*,
and iH one of the healtUie*t and, by far, the
handsomest city on earth. The boulevards and
principal *truet* are kept *o clean, a lady's swi**
dress would hardly be soiled in passing from one
Hide to the other. During tho reigns of Louis
Phillippe and Napoleon IIT, many now stm ts
wore opened. Houses were paid for, torn down
and moved away, to mal e new avenue*.
Bari* is the centre of a gnat railway system,
no less than eight roads radiating from the city.
To all points contiguous, trains ruu every hour,
first, second and third classes.
Everything is so different here to what it is in
England. London is a great overgrown city,
with its narrow crooked streets; alleys that re
minded us of robbers; and old dingy, smoky
houses that looked like they were built when
Ormnwt'll dissolved the Parliament, A city ot
plodding ways, w ith a people who make shillings
and pence from a lovw of it; a place to make
money and Accumulate u fortune. But Paris,
oh! lovely Bans; the pride of kings aut l the
dream oi fairy land, of ail places on earth, it is
tho place to spend a fortune. And yet, yon can
live as cheaply as yon please in Baris, from a
dollar (5 tmucs) to *lO francs a day.
Wo have been hare two days; have seen a
great deal, yet w© are told it will require months
to see much of tho city. There are people who
have lived here for years, that know little ot this
restless, impulsive, beautiful and fashionable
metropolis.
If Bans is attractive at day, it is still more so
at night, when tlie magnificent boulevards are
lit up with their myriads of gas lights ami the
cafes are the centre ot attraction. Last night,
we stood an hour at the “Grand Hotel," on bou
levard de* enpueims, watching tho dense throng
of people who passed.
There is a look of melancholy, since the late
war. that lux* settled on the countenance of tlie
gay Parisian; but there is a twinkle of his natu
ral aud former life that beams still in his eye. It
seems to say that war must be fought over
a&aiu.
We walked a mite down Italienue, a continu
ance of Boulevard Capucines. rite most frequent
ed of Paris, looking at the thousands ol ptnqde
who sit iu front ot the cafes, sipping tin ir wine
or coffee, as if they were content to spend the
remainder of their lives iu such easy enjoyment.
•Along tins grand thoroughfare the shop windows '
are magnificent beyond description. The shops
are generally small; but the skill with w hich the |
Frenchman displays his goods is as wonderful !
as it is interesting u> contemplate.
To an American t verythiug is charming, ev
erything i* new in Paris. It is the city of pleas
ure to which thousands, from all parts ot the
world, come to gratify their tost© ami curiosity.
J. B. G.*
Georgia r iunucoi
There is no question fraught with so much in
tercet to the people of Georgia as the bond com
promise. No matter of public economy involv
ing such vital issues has boon submitted to our
Legislature. And it behooves them to act with
coolness and a tar reaching discrimination, that
no error may b© committed in the adjustment of
this most important and delicate question.
The proposition narrowed down is simply
for the State ol Georgia to pay to tho bond hol
ders, through their Agent, Tho*. L. Sneed, the
aim of $1,515,000 for $4,8J5,000 of bonds legal
and illegal; the above compensation to bo taken
in Georgia new currency Ixmil* at ninety cents
on tlie dollar. They assen most innocently
their ignoranco of any illegality in the bonds,
and claim they feive never been parties to any
of the frauds practiced upon Georgia. These
innocents deserve our sympathy lor the liberal-
ity displayed. They ow nup to their fraudulent
nature and very naively throw themselves up
on the good graces of the people Jor indemnifi
cation. Their ignorance of the nature of the
bouds when purchased should not entitle them
to any monetary sympathy at our hands, but
rather should they turn to Henry Clew* who
negotiated the bond*, for a return of the pur
chase money. And while we do not believe the
submission of tha claims to our magnanimity,
transfers the question from the “strict form of
law to that of equity and honor,” believing
ibeir status cannot be altered by tho means of
presentation, we are unwilling to yield them
more than a strict principle of justice demands.
The reason is obvious. Our finances arc iu too
critical a condition to suffer from the errors of a
“compromise,” a* the bond/agent is pleased to
term the submission of his claims. A .compro
mise carries with it the implication that both
side* of a question may l>e wrong, and that a
mutual concession is the only ground # for settle
ment. We have not gone back on the position
of the Bond Committee, who, after a thorough
investigation, pronounced what bonds were legal
and what illegal. And so clearly has the gross
illegality of certain bonds been proven that their
holders, in presenting them to the Legislature
of Georgia, admit their fraudulent nature, and
ask that their money invested be refunded them.
Doubtless many were deceived by the splen
did execution of the bonds, but should liave
watched more carefully os to what manner of
paper they were purchasing. We cannot afford
so large a sum as 31,515,000 as a matter of ex
pediency, to appease the hungry bond sharks,
and hire them to re-establish our credit both at
home and abroad. But what is attainable ut
this juncture when money is need*'* i* meet
♦i.,, iJI our bonded indebtedness. Geor
gia has a suspended interest account ou about
one million dollars worth of bonds, and is al
ready ill default of payment live hundred thou
sand dollars. This looks a little like a straggle
between bankruptcy and the financial life of the
State. Let the Legislature act with wisdom, for
on their decision depends our prosperity at
home and financial status abroad.
We see but one remedy for the solution of
I ;
adopt Mr. Nutting’s bill, tho bonds of which, !
bearing 'fight per cent, interest, will induce in j
vestment, and thus relieve the exigencies of the ‘
present. Our credit is not at such a low ebb in |
No v York a* the bondholder* would have us be- !
licve;ter their proposition to take the new cur- j
roncv bonds at ninety cents on the dollar is in
dication of Ibis appreciation. No hasty action
should precipitate the State into a “compro
mise” ouior than that based on a non-recogni
tion of fraud, and a suhtainauce of the people s
right*, us founded on honor and national jus
tic©.

WHO HATH SORROW ?
Who J lath Woe P
“NOW is tho Winter of my discontent,” ex
claim* the poor man who during the past year,
bought hi* goods on credit, and now finds nim
sclf unable to meet his promise* to j>ny. His bills
are larger, by one-halt, than he thought they
wou and be, aud sevt nil article* are charged to his
account of which he lias no recollection. For
many things ho ha* paid almost double what he
would have had to puv had he bought for
< ii*!i at Dolinin ,Sw Hu 1 <lxv ill’s. He is
daily tormented with yellow envelopes, ooutaiu
ing * Internet* saying: “Please call and settle
above account, or it will be placed in the hands
of an officer for collection. At night, lie rolls and
tosses upon hi* pillow; aud it, perchance, h
doze* off, he dreams of sheriff* and constable*,
; and sees the handwriting upon the wall: “Will
be sold before the Court House door, Ac.'* lie
tore day dawns ho lm* visited the Internal re
gions and is about congratulating himseU upon
his escape from his tormentor*, but is aroused
by the voice of someone who says: “Bay me
that thou owest."
The more fortunate person who is able to pay
his account promptly, may escape for a time, the
trouble* alluded to, but he is only putting ort
the evil day. It will come in duo season. Year al
ter year he will find his profits grow ing less,and
he will realize, too late, that if he had the capi
tal of the Bank of England, ho could not afford
to pay the enormous per cent charged by mer
chants who sell on time.
We are aware that many persons begin the
New Year with good resolutions, to use economy,
curtail expenses,and to buy exclusively for CASH
These are worthy resolves, and should be faith
fully kept, and those who so keep and practice
them arc on the sure road that leads to health,
honor, prosperity aud happiness. For a while
tlu v may have to deny themselves of many ot
the luxuries, and possibly a few ot the necessa
ries of Ut. , but utter awhile all these will be giv
en unto them.
About a year ago we adopted the exclusive
Cash Svstem, and offered a reward ot one thous
j and dollars, fur the man won;an or child, who
| could buy one dollar's worth of goods from us
!on Credit. Money was scarce and times were
hard and many pivdic'ted our early denr.se. We
ore glad to state that since tlmt time our busi
ness has been steadily increasing. Almost ev
ery day we reotivo sidistantint encouragement
from parties who have and felt the evil of
the credit system, and like good and true men
are lending their aid and influence iujertuhing a
most pernicious system, which threatens tlie
kuikruptcy. not only of individuals, but the
entire country.
We have numerous customers now, who, pre- 1
vious to that time, never entered our door. They I
arc good, honest, sensible men; men who know j
how to appreciate* the value ot a dollar, and w ant i
ti get value received tor it. They come ami de
posit it with us knowing that our profits do not
include twenty-five per cent, for bad debts,
which is always added by merchants who sell ou
time, to cover their losses by parties who never
puv.
Now wo are desirous of increasing our already
hmg list ot customer*, and we think w e can !
make it to your interest to trade with us. Our j
stock will always be the largest in the place,and |
w hile there are many goods w hich are sold very j
close by all merchants, we can safely guarantee i
a saving upon a general bill of from twenty to j
thirty per cent in purchasing from us.

ALSO, FOR SALE ON TIME FOR COTTON OR IUERENCY!
To the Consumers of Fertilizers.
It i h now an admitted faot, established and confirmed by many years’ experience in the use o■!
Soluble Pacific Gnauo, that an ordinary application to Cotton and Com increases the yield t
double the production of the same soil unfertilized. This statement in in no wise exaggerated; on
the contrary, the results more frequently exceed than fall short of the above increase. 00
The importance of an agency which thus increases the products of hired labor cannot be over
estimated.
It is an agency which makes two Ixiles of Cotton and two barveils of Com grow where one grew
before.
It is an agency which makes the labor of one man equal to the labor of tiro.
It is au agency which makes one acre under cultivation equal to tico acres.
It is an agency which, it will be found by fair calculation, pays the consumer, with cotton at
present or even lower price, three to five dollars back tor every dollar invested, and this within a
period ot eight months time.
Ihe above statements are not mere assertions, but are verified by more than seven years expe
rience, and are testified to by thousands of farmers and planters throughout the Middle and South
ern States.
It it be true, as stated, that the crop is doubled by the use of this Guano, let us see what the
Per-Centum of Profit
lis when applied to cotton, putting the price of cotton at IT cents per pound. Planters often sin
j they have made 100 per cent, becanse the Guano has doubled the crop. This is a mistake- it if
! much more than a profit of 100 per cent, on the money invested.
Let us calculate the profit. To arrive at the per cent of profit on an investment the net cost
must be divided into the net gain. Now if ,m acre of ground will produce 150 pounds lint cotton
without Soluble Pacific Guano, and will produce 300 pounds by the m-e of 200 pounds Soluble
Pacific Guano, then the increase from the use ot the Guano is 150 pounds lint cotton, the cost of
which is the money v hie of 200 pounds Guano. Hence, if we deduct the cost of the Guano from
the value of the laO pounds cotton produced by it, we have the net gain from its use; then, if we
Thus- 5 tIJ C ° St ° f 1110 " C 0 10U1 “ ls Guuno iuto tlie nct g a 'n, we get the exact per cent, of profit.
One hundred and fifty pounds lint Cotton, net gain from use of 200 pounds Soluble
I acilie Guano, at 17 cents per pound, *25 50.
300 pounds cotton seed, also net gain, 2 50
Deduct cost of 200 pounds Soluble Pacific Guano, cash price in Columbus, Ga $56
P* ton 5.60.
Net profit 7522 M
Now divide $5.60 net cost into $22.40 nct gain, and the result is 400, which is 400 per cent In
other words, tor every dollar thus invested, five dollars are received in turn, one of which is the
original investment and tour are clear profit, thus being four for oue, which is 400 per cent Is
not this a fair and correct showing? If not, where is the error ? Now, if it bo true to one-half
South** eltem ’ S ° luble Paciflc Guauo i* an agency of the highest value to the agriculture of the
Ihe large fixed capital invested by this Company in this business furnishes the best guarantee
ot continued excellence. I need only assure consumers that the Guano brought into market this
season is precisely the same in composition and quality as that heretofore sold. The Cbmpanv
has a greater interest in maintaining its standard of quality than any number of consumers can have.
