Onr rends** very well know that Mr.
Will, m a politician, is no favorite of
oon. His eccentric political career for
g M ] M t ten years has abont demolished
ow eonfklenre in his ttonrirteocy and in
tegrity; botonf admiration of hisgenion*
and brilliant oratory has new wavered.
Hia speech in Congress on the Amnesty
b«U arcs certainly a masterly defence and
tetamphaot vindication of the South
the fleadiab dSnders and abate
of Hortheru fanaticism. Whether im
politic and injnriooa to Democracy or
the nnanewarable fart*, which he
CD ekxjacntly arrayed, left the Radical

JH||L
Bliinf'* l effort to dirrrt Mr. Hill from
hit purpose, and break the force of his
01 whllH arguments was extremely art
tll, and p 1 ——* that gentleman in tlie
boas t rank of modern demagogues.
We aw not prepared, however, to I*>-
Itave that Mr. Hill, notwithstanding his
amertiona to that effect, had actually
forgotten ao important an action of the
Ponfederate Congress aa that to which
Hr. w-iaa called hia attention. Instead
oi evasively, tbaae charge* should have
b«M mot frankly and fearlessly. Bat
(feist is no reason why Domoeatic paper*
and politicians should denounoe his
-apMch as unwise and impolitic. Hia ar
gument etas uuouawerable, and mast
miry conviction of its truth to every un-
mind North, as well Jta a
thrill of patriotic pride to every Houth
a«a heart.

Hince our last report Congress has in
dulged in some further dissuasion of the
Amnesty question, in which “Hyena
Blaine" need every exertioo to rival
Ibad Hfcvens hud Bulb* ia scurrilous
abuse of the Sooth, smd to render him
arft as odlona as poterible to the Ameri
can pteple. The Rsdioal theaftw**, tuider
fat* leadership, toted (town fhety prop
osition of amnesty which tuetUded the
name of President Davis, and there is
little prospeet of the pMsag* of such a
-Mil at this session.
«• Bo far, a very long* number vt bills
Weboen tnUndnoeKl -cetrtwehre tinn
dred in the Hours alone. Os theae the
great majority xrewtlittW general inter
bet. home of theta, however, are quite
tirnx,riant.
1 Hr. Dibrell, of Teimesaee, has intro
ftaoeda Ml, making it a mirnlemeanor to
demand nnntributions tor election |mr ;
poses. This ia a move in the right di
rection, and, if the bill become# a law,
and Is rigidly executed, the Imraow
patronage of the Administration, now
corruptly naed for party purposes, will
loss much of its imi>ortanoe.
Mr. Willard, of Michigan, has intro
duced a MH, making it a misdemeanor
tor Congressmen to make personal so
licitations, or use personal influence to
ssoure appointments for their friends,
and providing that beads of Departments
•hall appoint solely on written recom
mendations, which they must keep ou
ffle tor inspection. This is another good
bill and should be passed by’.all moans.
Investigations have omuraeuoed in
earnest, and will oe prosecuted vigorous
ly. Rome astounding corruption is be
ing developed. Speaking of theme in
veatigations, an exohnnge site* :
The work of investigation las but just
commenced in Washington, and the re
sult thus far givea promise of the devel
opment of an amount of corruption and
fraud in the government departments
that will astound the country. The Unit
blood was drawn ou Saturday by the
Committee ou expenditures iu the print
ing department bv the discovery of an
item of S2W,<WO "shortage” tri the print
ing and engraving divMaou. In explana
tion of this axoeaa over the estimates,
Buperiuteudent MeCaxtee stated to the
committee that the Jisrepaucy was ooca
aioued by the appropriation Committee
of the last Congress, which oompelted
him to change trie mauner of printing
the red seal ou the currency from ma
chine to handwork, making an additional
expense of more then fsS».oofc The,
attention in the plan ia not at all calcu
lated to assist in preventing ivuiitorlrit
mg, and ia regarded by the committee ns
• wilful job. ..
The next leak discovered is tn the
cotton bureau. This ia a* very flagrant
CMS, over sixty thousand dollars have
been fraudulently paid to Varkman,
Brooks * Cos. The papers iu this ease
will shortly be turned over to the grand
jury, aud ft is said will result in the
indictment of ex-Assistant Secretary of
tha Treasury, Sawyer, and ex-Couimia
sioner of Customs, Haiuee, and in the
dismissal of one of tlie principal aooouut
rug officers of tlie Treasury.
The Washington King real estate pool
ia also bring investigated iu aarueat. It
is said that contumacious witness, Hal
lett Kilbourn, will, this time, be required
to tell the names of the members,
which he refused to do before the com
mittee of the last Congress. The inves
tigation will show that the President
bought propertv, aud that General Bab
cock was one of the members of the
pool. This and the Freedman's bank
uiYeetigetioa will make it lively for a
number of gcntle-mou who little know
what- is coming.
The House Committee on Foreign
Altairv have determine,! to reduce appro
priations, as follows:
They find that many of the Consuls
have returned less sums iu fees than they

I see through the public prints that
the dog law is agaiu up for discussion by
the law-makers of our State. For sev
eral years the “dog law" lias troubled
our legislators no little. They seem to
approve, personally, of the law, but hes
itate to take that stand which, iu the
■tpinion of many persons tlie bast inter
ests of the oountry demand.
It seems that a constitutional objec
tion is offered by some to suoh a law
Cannot a county or State tax a dog just
ns Thomson aud every other large city
in the United States does ?
It matters not how it is done, nor does
it matter much whether there be one dog
to each family exempt or not, if the tax
be sufficiently high, (say two dollars on
males and throe or more on female dugsj
to decrease the number. One dog to tin
family may iusjjro a livelihood without
the dogs buiug forced to the sheep-fold
for “a good square meal.” The dogs
most destructive to sheep are, perhaps,
those owned by negroes, who too fre
quently have one to each child, aud arc
hence unable to .properly feed them.
Suoh nervous never kijl a dog, but will
own them, almost ad infinitum f without
the restraining influence of a fax. I
chaaed a dog t,feg days since that had
killed an ewe and lamb,, to the owner’s
house. He very readily gave her up,
■ayiug that he had "gun r-r away seyi
times, but the folks wouldn't come ate r
her. She ain't been fed any lately, uud
I s’pose she hod to, cat lumpen."
And so it is, Messrs. Editors, with all
of them—thinking it is bad look to kill u
dog, the number js ooustautly increasing
The t«» would also kill out luuuy not
owned by negroes, for no emu would pay,
year after year, a tax ou a dog that was
worthless.
What does it cost to keep so njunv
dogs f
Two years since the Comptroller Gen
eral's Report showed that there was iu
Georgia 122,000 dogs. The Tax Collec
tors for '76 report 00,415. and many dog*
were not reported. To feed these 00,-
415 will cost at least one quart of mewl
per day, which cost, corn at $1.25 per
bushel, for the wliole State—
per day, $3,687,121 x 186,31 -. 8,882.43
per week, $25,00e.84i*13ti,7J9-.- 26,977.08
per year. $1,331,711,04x71,194.76-1402,-
906.69.
If my memory is correct, the number
of doge reported for MoDuffle county,
Comptroller's Report, was 060; which
east the eounty
per day in com, 29.69 bushels,
per week, in com, 207.63 bushels,
per year in com, 10,781.66 bushels.
Corn, $1,26, cost per year, in cash,
$18,46.979. Thirteen thousand dollart
tn ford dog* of MefhtJUc fijitnOy. Can
not wo, fellow eitirons, do as well with
one-third ns many dogs and nave $8,984,
63? The same com put into a three
month's pig will make a saving of double
the amount.
lii- IMO, the United States Census
gave Georgia 812,618 sheep. Census of
1870, 419,466 sheep. Tax Receivers,
1878, 819,338 sheep.
- Showing a decrease for 1880 to 1870 of
08,163; from 1870 to 1875, of 100,142.
Thirty-right j>cr cent, decrease, wbeu
there should have heen 100 per cent, in
crease.
Through the Tax Receivers the Com
missioner of Agriculture ascertained that
from April Ist, 1874, to April Ist, 1876,
there were killed by dogs, iu Georgia,
28,625 sheep These, at the average cost
of $2.76 per head, amount to a loss of
884,718.75 for the year 1875. This, ad
ded to the cost of feediug of dogs, to
‘ say nothing of tlie injury doue to stock
' not killed, will give us the sung little
mm of $1,487,625.44 for the luxury of
keeping 99,415 for one year.
By comparing the figures you will see
that there are more than 32 dogs to every
: 100 sheep in the State ; and about turn
hundred more dogs in MeDuffiie than
1 there arc of sheep.
Iu a Manual of Sheep Husbandry, is
' sued by the Commissioner of Agricul
ture, (from w Inch I get these statistics of
sheep aud dogs. 1 he says that 90 j>er
cent of his correspondents report dog*
to be the “principal and generally the
only obstacle to sheep husbandry ; and
that sheep husbandry puy* a profit of 63
per cent in spite of the dogs.’’
My own flock of slieep is email, and 1
am forced to pen them every uiglit to
protect them; yet the iuveetmeut pays
me from 35 to 79 j>er cent, independent
of the manure, and 1 still lose a number
by dog* during tlie year.
Dues cotton pay after this laxhiou ? |
Does anything compare with sheep rais
ing? cau small farmers raise -ahaep well
without some law to protect them ?
Now if we iiave a good law for decreas
ing the number of dogs, whether you
call it dog f** or dog cottar it matters
not, we will sustain and increase]
sheep husbandry ; we will make more
Jjacou by leaving for bogs what we give
to the dogs ; we will save in thd State
more than one million bushels of corn |
fed to. dogs; we will eave freights on ,
same aud will save the interest that we
pay on the debt contracted in buying
corn on credit to feed to our dogs.
Then, every interest of the Btate and of
individuals demand a good mfd real taw
on this subject- —no play at law, but a
law perfect jn every part and one that ■
can be enforced. There should be, too j
a provision to pay for slieep killed bj
dogs out of the tax and devote the re
mainder to school or some other good
purpose.
I am glad to say, Messrs. Editors, <
tliut it is believed that our very worthy ;
Representative in Atlanta, is alive to
the beat interests of the State ou this
and all other matters that concern us.
aud will give a hearty support aud co-op
eration to all efforts to provide us good
aud just laws.
Hopiug that tlie Jovbxal will coutin- |
ue in future, as in the past, to advocate ,
■ the dog law” till it is au accomplished
fact, I am,
Yours respectfully, j

Limxilnton, Ga., January 15th, 1876.
The Concert, given here by the I.in
colnton Amateur Club lust night, was a
decided success. Notwithstanding the
coldness of the night, a large and appro- <
cistive audience was in attendance. The
Club was composed of Prof. Hauser as !
leader, and Messrs A. E. Strother, T. E.
Griffin aud S. Mosley, Jr., who furnished
the vucal aud instrumental music, J. Fer
guson, R. B. Lung, and T. B. Iloflius
hrnd acting in the role of Ethiopian
Minstrels. The programme consisted of
twenty-one pieces which were beunti
fully nml artistically rendered by Prof.
Hauser leading on the Melodt-on, assist
ed by A. E. Strother and Griffin, ou the
Violin, accompanied with their voices
and the excellent Bass, S. Mosley. The
Imlance of the clnb as Minstrels, aston
ished the natives aud brought down the
house ; indeed, the laughter created by
their inimitable performances so con
vulsed the musicians they were scarcely
ablo to proceed. Details would furnish
too lengthy a communication, so tin get,
era! account must suffice. Prof. Hauser
is au accomplished performer ou the me
lodeon aud violin, and when accompa
nied by his rich, cultivated voice, assist
ed by Messrs Strother nud Griffin on the
violin* and Mosley's deep boon, the ren
dering would please the most ex|*crieneed
connoisseurs. Messrs. Holliiidirud and
Ferguson representing Sum mid Julius,
and Messrs. Ferguson and Lung as Ethi
opian performers, gave unmistakable ev
idence of talents iu that line ; whilst
Ferguson in bis specimens of original,
impromptu, Ethiopian wit,eclipsed Ethi
opia itself, and rivaled Peel in k s palm
lost day. The success attending this el
*Crt ms resulted iu the organisation of
“The Liunohiton Miustvel Troupe."
Their first exhibition is booked for Mon
day night, of "Court week iu April next.
The troup will undergo .thorough train
ing, procure new and additional instru
ments, and bo prepared to furnish a rich

The town and county generally are on
tlie march of improvement. The bad

State is driving away many of her most
substantial and influential oitiseus. It is

and daughter will, in a few days, open
the Liueolnton Institute, which will offer
an opportunity for educational facilities
not hitherto enjoyed. Mr. E. Gresham
will soon resume his school near town.
The two hclioolb bid fair to be highly
successful. Other settlers are soon ex
pected from tlie land of excessive taxa
