THE ATLANTA tOtmiK*.
For some time past the Atlanta Her
ald, as a as, had been tailoring under
heavy financial embarraasmeiita, which
culminated a few weeks ago iu ths sale
cf the establishment by the sheriff.
But Messrs. Alston, Grady sud Wood
ward, with their characteristic pluck and
energy, immediately purchased anew
outfit in New York. This waa also
seized on ite arrival in Atlanta. They
t.heu obtained the material of the old
.Veu'» office, and promptly issued the
first number of the Atlanta Gaily Con
tier, a handaome eight column paper,
better, even, than the old Herald,
which is saying a great deal, hlucti fear
less courage and determination deserve
the admiration and liberal support of a
generous people which, wo doubt not,
will Iks promptly given. We join our
brethren of the press in heartiost con
gratulations and best wishes for the suc
cess of tin. new paper.
HAIM IX K.
Thursday last, Gen, O. A. Babcock,
the President’s private secretary, who
has been on trial iu Ht. Louis us a mem-
Itcr of the whiskey fluff, was uoqnitted,
the jury l.riuging in a verdict of "not
guilty." The charge against him wm
conspiracy to defraud the revenue, it
crime which all lawyers know is very
difficult to provo. Thu ev.ih nee of his
guilt waa circumstantial, ami, although
possibly insufficient in law, was entirely
sufficient -to satisfy all unprejudiced
niimls.
We him never believed that the Bros
idcut li.iil any oounex ion with the whis
ky ring, but it is certain that he di l all in
hi* power to shield the scoundrels who
weir, in it, simply Iweauso they were
personal followers of Ilia; aud iu the
trial of Babcock, instead of vindicating
tlm plundered aud swindled gov«uitttaii
which ha professes to represent, liu ustnl
all of his iufliteiu'e for the dofeudent.
For thia lie doserves, and should re
oeivc, the severest censure of the Ameri
can people ; and Babcock, though lie
eacajasl the penitentiary, can never
esoaiM- the general belief of his guilt
founded npou the dannigiug evidence
produced against him.
(OIIHT STESHMiRAI’>I HRS.
Among the best acts passed by the
l«t« Legislature was Unit which author
izes Judge* of the Superior Oourts to
appoint stenographers for taking down
the evidence in criminal trial-, which
the law requires shall lie written. On
this subject an exchange hat the follow
ing :
Their compensation for taking testi
mony is the same as now given, hat they
charge their owu prices for taking testi
mouv, charges, Ac., iu civil eases. Tliay
are Court officers, and sworn in as oth
ers. We arc confident that this lsw if
properly tested will work well. If the
Judges of the different circuits appoint
competent stenographers they w ill save
both time aud money to the tax payers.
Under the present system most of the
time 0 insumed in criminal cases is taken
up in the examination of witnesses l lie
C erk appointed by ths Court mu-t write
the evidence iu ordinary long baud aud
U,e witnes must speak slowly enough to
suable thi* tedious process to be aooom
pliabod. Wbat tin- stenographer would
do in a few initiates occupies the long
hand writer mi many hours —the former's
work of hoars is 'the latter's labor of
days. Witneaaes, jurors, parties sud
officers ure detaiued in attendance upon
the Courts at a heavy expense to the
county and the citizens. Again, in hik
ing a ciimnal case to the Supreme Court
the brief of evidence only discloses tile
auswers made by the witues-es to the
questions of counsel or the Court. It is
of n neccmauv to a clear nuderstnndmg
of the answer 'that the questiou eliciting
it should also lie given. The practiced
stenographer can readily furnish a eer-
Ita/im report of every trial—questions,
answers und the Jmige's charge. We
hope in order to make the law a success,
that the Circuit Judges will take care to
aelnet only perfectly competent meu
for this position.
THE iTeeTmCATI KK.
The General Assembly of Georgia,
after a prolonged session, has adjourned,
and the memliers have returned to their
families and constituents, to rest npou
the laurel* of their recent legislative la
bors. The press of the State is almost
unanimous iu onudemiiotiou of the ac
tions of the retiring body. They have
facetiously nick named it the '"D i-ooth
ju :" Legislature. This ia evidently a
misnomer, because Tilt bill* were intro
du -.-d in the House, and 242 in tiie Ben
ate, m.iking 91 > in alt If that waau t
bri-k business wo don’t know what could
b, . Tt i . ‘rue that tune tenths of these
bills were for mutilating the Code, or
were of a local nature, the consideration
of which coat llie State heavily, the sub
jects involved being of no g. moral inter
eat or benefit. But this nuisance cannot
be abated except by a Constitutional
Convention.
While we heartily commend several
important end liighiy beneficial act*
which they paaaoJ, the slaughter of the
Convention bill is to tm regretted, and
the failure of the dog law will so enrage
the farmers and Grangers that, if we are
not very much mistaken, many of the
late Legislators will stand little chance
for re-election.
We cannot give our reader* a better
idea of the record of the session thaw the
following condensed statement from the
Atlanta Constitution :
The session was chiefly remarkable iu
very tmtli lor what it del not do. Nearly
every measure advocated by the utra*-
papers was detested, strange as it may
seeui. Fur mslauue, there was a singu
lar newspaper demand last fail m favor
of A constitutional convention. True no
meetings of the people or other popu ar
manifestations seoonded the movement.
This however, did not lessen the noise
of the press on the subject. Tue bill
fell between the two houses. The dog
tax bill was emphatically a measure of
the people. The press was virtually a
unit in its snpport. It went down, too,
between the "disagreeing houses. Its
death however, should be charged lip
against a majority of the senate. The
road bill was also a popular fuvorite. No
man’s hand was against it outside of the
legislature. Its death should be charged
up against the bouse, which relatively
balauccs the account. All three of these
measures now go to the people, who will
doubtless find menus of expressing their
will next fall.
Amongst tiie ether mportant failures
j should be mentioned the hill directed
I against the public school system. The
senate killed it ; give it due credit. The
effort to make the foreign insurance com
panies deposit a guarantee fund did not
fill; country olllcies were not consolida
ted ; the hurt-ails were not disturbed ; no
arms were ordered for our vo'unlcer sol
diery ; juries were not charged with the
law 01 a case ; the North Georgia rail
road did not get a dollar of state aid,
und Mr. Thweatt's claim was referred to
the next legislature, where it will cer
tainly reappear regardless of the weather.
The work of the late session was not
wholly of a negative or local character.
Wo Hud that it actually (lid perfect many
useful general laws. ll passed two
homustead bills —one to protect creditors
against frauds, and the other to adjust
the rights of parties to homesteads that
have been sold. It re-organised the
Ixianl of trustees of the slate university.
It gave us the shadow ol a fish hill. It
provided for the employment of steno
j gruphers iu the trial of. felonies. It di
rected the purchase of a penal island ;
reduced the fees of county treasurers,
tax collectors and receivers ; ordered all
linos aud l'orfuitnres to lie paid to the
county treasurer ; exempted from taxa
tiou corn, cotton and other produce in
the hands ot producers on the first day
.if April ; exempteil from levy H*d side a
sewing machine ni each family ; exempt
ed from garnishment the wages of me
chanics, journeymen aud day laborers ;
repealed the exempt mil of oilier person
al property ; reorganized the state treas
ury ; regulated tlm sale of poisons, and
prohibited by a stringent enactment the
crime of fustlcide. Hero ia a body of
affirmative legislation that the late leg
islature uead nut be ashamed of.
It did pass too many tnviul local bills.
It did nogleet or defeat several practical
bills of grout importance to the state,
but it should have credit for the passage
of many useful measures of a solid char
acter. The work of the last legislature
was not particularly brilliant, but it will
favorably compare in many other resjiects
with the labors of some that met and
talked and planned before it. Lot us
speak kindly of departed worth.
THE STATE ROAD I.EASE.
Charges having been made that the
lease of the State Hoad, granted by the
Legislature of 1872, was obtained
through bribery, the late Legislature ap
pointed a joint committee to investigate
aud report the facta iu the case. This
was done, and the committee reported
taat they found no ovideuoe implicating
uny member of the Legislature in re
ceiving a bribe. But Gov. Brown
stated before the committee that large
sums hod been expended among news
papers aud prominent lawyers to protect
the interests of the lease company, and
defend and sustain the lease before the
Courts und the people, and before the
Legislature. In other words, for a cer
tain price, to advocate the lease before
the people, the Courts aud the Legisla
ture, riyht or wroiij/. If this subsidi
zing of the press for the purpose of in
fiueueing the Legislature was not virtu
ally bribery we do uot know the mean- i
ing of the wor 1. Gov. Browu, himself, ,
elates that his object in inlying up these I
newspapers and lawyers was to iufiucnoe .
the people, the Courts aud the Leginla- ''
ture. He was too shrewd to offer his j
bnliea directly to the Legislators, but i
“placed his money where it would do j
the most good," subsidized the press and ;
bought up the lawyers.
The Legislators, of course, were not i
to blame, because they were brined with- !
out knowing it ; but isn’t it a mortifying i
reflection that old and staunch journals,
which for years had received the support 1
aud enjoyed the confidence of the peo- i
pie, should have betrayed the trust re
posed ia them anj mold their wide influ
ence in furtherance of such a nefarious
scheme ?
According to the report of the com
mittee, the following persons and papers
received portions of the subsidy fund :
Constitution, $5,001); Telegraph A Mes
senger, $2,000; Constitutionalist, $2,-
000; Itev. W. Watkin Hicks, editor,
Macon, $540 ; Ben May, for newspapers
and attorney's foes, 85000 ; J. P. Sim
mons. attorney, SI,OOO ; Herbert Fielder,
1 attorney, $1,500. Small amounts were
| paid others, waking iu all, 821,000.
It will not do for theae papers or per
! sous to say that the lease was advauta
; goons to the Htate. If that had been
! their honest opinion it was their duty to
the people to advocat- it without pay ;
and the very fact that Gov. Brown ex
pended so large an amount in subsidies
is strong proof that the whole affair was
fraudulent.
We would not mi justly censure any of
these parties, p irticularly our brethren
of the press, but we are extremely anx
ious to see some satisfactory explanation
of these damaging statements.
A correspondent of the Savannah
New* has thia to say cm this subject : M
It is a fact then, that a number of tljfl
journals of the State, including city dai*
lies and country weeklies, were paid!
by the parties, lessees 6! the Slate Koaciß
for their aid iu procuring the lease. Ca*
it be said that these “faithful sentinel*
on the watch tower” were bribed ? An.r
yet what defense have they set up—whdj
defense can they set up ? It will not
in this ease to plead that a journali*
may insert paid articles holding adversj
views, without detrimeut to his integrity!
and independence. They should havid
given notice of such msertiou by cum*
ment or otherwise, iu order to place the<
public oil its guard. On the contrary,!
they deceived, betrayed the trust re
posed, if I must speak plain English.
The credulous public took its “faithful
sentiuels” to be in dead earnest upon
their owa personal convictions from a
thorough knowledge of the situation of
the road when they advocated the lease.
Wliut now, therefore, must be the thought
of that publio at hearing these gentlc
raeti coolly acknowledge that they were
guided, influenced by filthy lucre, in
their counsel ? Investigation seems to
have developed the fact that there was a
powerful “ring” formed for the purpose
of securing the lease of the Htate Hoad,
and succeeded, together with other
means, by subsidizing influential jour
nals. Horry am I that all such busiuess
has not remained on the other side of
Mason’s and Dixon’s line, where they re
gard all inesus of gain us lawful and
moral ; and I have a still deeper regret
that it should have found its way into
the Georgia press, hitherto so free from
all imputation of corruption.

WORK FOR THE GIRLS.
If it is necessary for the boys to have
a trade; if it is to them imlepoudeDce,
health and happiness, equally easeiitie!
is it that our girls should have some
special work in life, something for which
they ore adapted and which will bo to
them a means of support should circum
stances make it necessary and enable
them to benefit uot only themselves but
others likewise. Our girls are raised too
much like dolls : from the time they be
gin to lisp, their little precious minds are
filled with dress and fashion, and they
are taught both by precept anil example
to cousider the adorning of the body as
the main business of life: no other suh
joct so exclusively fills the mind, so
almorhs every desire of the heart as that
of dress. At school, nt church, every
where, the subject of conversation with
girls of all ages is “the styles" what will
he the fashion nett season and so on. It
is sud to soe this anil injustice to girls to
allow them to grow up iu this manner ;
they should he taught to have scale pur
pose, some aim in life, to which ull the
powers of the mind must bond, anil that
instead of .being drone* in the family,
and itt society, they must do .omething—
they mist work. When wo consider the
way in which the majority of girls are
raised, it is not strange that so many of
the female mamber* of our churches are
mere ciphers, do abolutnly nothing.
When a girl starts to school whether at
home or broad, she should he taught that
it is for some purpose ; that if she shows
a capacity for the work anil au ability to
perform it, she shall, wlim her school
days are finished, engage in teaching, and
no matter what the circumstauoes of the
parents, let them be rich or not, if they
are wise they will, or should, put the
graduate to teaching, for that is the best
way to oontiune aud perfect the educa
tion which is but barely begun. Oue
year at school and even less time will
oouvinoe both teacher and parent what a
girl is going to do in the way of Irooks.
If she love knowledge, shows au aptitnde
for guiniug it, has a laudable ambition
to excel in her lessons, sheds tears over
imperfect recitations, and fears far more
the frown of her teacher than she docs
the ridicule of her envious companions,
theu she will do to build hopes npou,
aud it will be wise to carry on her educa
tion, as far as means will allow, with the
avowed, firm iuteutiou that when her
aohool time is out she shall immediately
enter upon the duties of teaching: and it
is not necessary for a girl to wait to Jtnith
her education: teaching will do that, if
she is deficient iu any oue branch, she
will soon find it out ; trying to oom
muuicate to others will push her up to
the emerguuoy, and one year's teaching
will do more for her than two years tui
tion. Supposing a girl has a pretty good
oommon education, there is nothing can
improve her so rapidly as teaching.
Having to govern others, she learns self
oontrol; she gains diguity of manners
learn* how to express her ideas oorreo.tly,
to speak before others w it-hout embarrass
ment, and daily, hourly oontact with
books and children, brings out new
beauties in studies she ouoe thought dull
and insipid, and fills her young heart
with strange feelings of love and admira
tion for the little oues who follow around
her footsteps. U gives patience, too, a
virtue so much needed in enr weary
trudging through this world of sorrow.
So profitable, so enlightening to both
mind and heart is the avooatiou of teach
ing, that it would compensate girls most
admirably to seek the employment and
teach oue year at least, without remunera
tion, just for the value to themselves; iu
fact to learn the business like an appren
tice, who lalxirs sometimes five years for
uothiug more than bis board to learn his
trade. When a teacher, hv close observa
tion and daily experience, find* out a
girl will never do much at books, wm
hardly ba able to instruct another, then
he or she should be honest towards the
parent und Hie child. For the c.iko of
gain do girl should be kr >t at a mockery
i of study idling away time, that could be
turned to much better advantage and
pitefter/be of great benefit in the future.

Hist makes a girl look down upon any
avocation by the following of which she |
: can support herself. Every vestige of {
Much a fueling ought to be eternally wip
ed out from the mind, and girls taught
to look upon their gift* or talents for j
work no matter what it is, a* God-given
and noble. If a brother can Ire s black
smith or a printer not in the least does it
i affect Ite sister to know how to cut and
make dresses, or to make pants, or to
nurse the sick. The late war taught us
many lessons. It showed us the necessi
ty of women knowing how to do some
thing for themselves. How many at its
close found themselves adrift ; how many
widows thrown upon the cold charities
of a country for whioii their husbands
had given up their lives, with nothing to
depend upon, and children wauting for
bread.
Hundreds of girls who had been raised
I iu affluence and luxury had to resort to
j work of some kind to keep the wolf from
the door ; and the profession of teaching
; was crowded with those seeking situa
; lions, who once never dreamed of such a
j thing. The day of adversity came aud
found all unprepared. It may and enn
come again, if not iu the form of war iu
another. Our girls should be trained
aud educated, and fully prepared to take
care of themselves. If wealth takes to
itself wings, and leaves thorn poor, if
death takes away the strong arm of
father or husband or brother, then they
i have something they can lean upon— !
-some means by which they can support
j themselves and the loved ones depeu-

more creditable to their characters, more
, noble in them, than to spend their days
in trifling, reading, in sleeping, in gossip
| and idle talk alsmt dress, while fathers
! are turning gray and bending beneath
i their weight of care, while poor, weary
: mothers drag their heavy steps along,
vainly trying to keep np appearances,
denying themselves in the effort to deck
their daughters any season in the hollow
| tinsel of fashion. O ! the mockery of
life ; the wear and tear of every faculty
j of the mind in the endeavor to keep pace
l with ones’ neighbor to give daughters a
uew hat, or anew dress every season,
| even if it should take the last dime from
■ father's pocket, and sink him iu abject
eternal bankruptcy. Is there help for it?
Cuuaot our girls, who surely are not im
mersed in selfishness, l>o taught to think
;of something higher than mere lulorn
{ ment of the body ? Is there no way of
i inducing them to think, to consider be
: fore it is toe Into, of the sin, the folly of
. putting the whole attention upon dress:
| of neglecting tho precious jewel, the soul,
while they a-ek only to adorn the casket?
| There is an error somewhere, the fault
lies at the parent's door, and it bccunies 1
us to search into the matter. Teach our
girls their responsibility to God aud to I
; men, that equally with the boys they |
I must soe the necessity of doing some
thing, and tint no tium is to be lost.
When the graduates come home, put
them to work, insist upon it they shall

the common fund what has been expend- 1
j ed for their education, and iu the end
the reward will be sure both to parent

"NOTE —w ith Cotton option SCO Iba. Middling 52 50
Freight and dravage— cash at time of shipment. Cotton to be delivered at planter’s
nearest dopot. At these prices our Fertilizers are cheaper, both for cash and time, than
any other article, especially those low grade Fertilizers selling for 400 lba. cotton.
Example.
A good Ammoniated Fertilizer will manure — say 15 acres of land, hence our article
to be a* cheap to the farmer as Fertilizers selling for 400 lbs. of cotton will hare to in
crease the yield only 4 pound* of Lint Cotton to the acre to make coat equal. It will,
AS HAS BEEN PIiOVED BY ACTUAL TESTS, really produce 25 to 50 pounds more
to the acre, or from to 1 bale of Lint Cotton to every ton used, according to quality
of land. The Georgia State Grange Fertilizer is made from PURE ANIMAL BONE,
and ia of the highest grade, while the articles referred to are manufactured from Fossil
Bone or Rock Phc-phate and are of low grade. Bse Coaniisaiooer'a Report.
A Word about Composting-
Farmer* who compost are urged to experiment with the Fertilizer, and test it along
side “Compounds," Asid Phosphate* and Dissolved Bonea.
Directions.
Mix .'»00 to GSO lbs. of the Fertilizer with enough Cotton Beed and Stable Manure to
make a ton, or bed your Cotton Seed and Stable Manure with the Fertilizer in March,
and save trouble of composing. In this mixture you not only get as much or more
Phosphoric Acid aa yon get from the South Carolina and other similar Unammoniated
articles, but you also get in the mixture 16 to 20 lbs. of Ammonia (worth commercially
about four dollars), which will largely increase the yield. The experiemsnt is eheap
and worth trying on a small scale at hast.
The Grunge Dissolved Bones can be composted in the same way. This is the great
est grade Unammoniated article in Georgia. See analysis and compare with those in
circular No. 22 of Commissioner of Agriculture.

Dear Sir :—Although the cargo arrived in sufficient time yetj owing to acciptifTai,
causes, I)r. Land failed to receive the samples of the Georgia State Grange Fertilizer
and Dissolved Bones in time for these analyses which I have the pleasure to enclose to
appear in the report of the Comiub*ioner of Agriculture, • ircular No. 22. Ou basis of
values estimated by Dr. Land, the Fertilizer is worth commercially, $52,75. and the
Dissolved Bones, per ton. The Dissolved Bones presents the highest grade of
any Unammoniated Fertilizer analyzed up to this date by Dr. Land.
