Yeiily the Hebald must be a lively sheet— even upon the testimony of those who do not devotedly love us. The Constitution, a | paper published in this city, says, in its yes terday’s edition, that the Hebald, hearing that it had arranged to get up an eight-page paper, changed its plans after supper and also got out an eight-pager. Now, the Her ald of yesterday was certainly as good a pa per as the other. And it is certainly compli mentary to say that this paper, in two hoars’ notice, can get up as good a quarto paper as the other concern can in two days. But further, the Hebald sent to press a lull and complete eight-page paper at halt-past 11 o'clock, for West Point, and mailed its whole edition, while the other paper, owing to the magnitude of its enterprise, notwithstanding the two or three days’ preparation, missed that mail and barely made its Macon edition.

Winsefeg, September 16. A special term of the Court of the Queen’s Bench opened yesterday, for the trial of American prisoners charged with kidnapping Gordon. The Judge in his charge to the Grand Jnry dwelt mainly on kidnapping. The charge is considered very fair and dispaasionate. neither favoring nor prejudicing. It is believed tbit no bid will be fonud against Msrrian who was arrested as one of the accessories.

There is some complaint from our subscri bers io certain towns around Atlanta, because their towns were not mentioned in the Hkbald's review of “Our Neighbors.” We desire to stAte distinctly that the fault of the omission did not lie with the Hebald.

Reporter—Do you find there Is much to be saved by buying this way in bnlk ? Mr. Lwendor—Oil yes, an immense smount. Tb^re am scores of letters on this table tn which n.srchatn* offer to sell us certain gooas at one per cent, advance on cash; others st two and a half per cent., and others st five per cent. W* will rave something on eveiy- thing we buy. You see the main profit arises from forcing farmers to buy for cash. Why, last year I had a neighbor richer than I was, who bought his corn on credit and paid $1 40 * bnshel for it; while I bought ior cash at oighty-eoven cents. And then we force them to buy In bnlk, and they thus get advantage of wholesale rates. Now, on gusno; we get ten per cent, off on the cash price at the factory, and thus save forty per cent, on this item. On some goods we save one hundred per cent. By the way we have hero an offer from a leading bank to fnrnisb the farmers all the money they want st one per cent, s month, if borrowed under the seal of tbe Grange. It would pay farmers to borrow at two per cent, rather than continue to buy from comaais- siou merchants on long time and give crop liens. Reporter—How do the Atlanta merchants b id for this ratronage ? HOW THE ATLANTA MERCHANTS BID. Mr. L.—They are coming pp nobly. They make as close or closer bids than any place we have got bids from. For instance, one of yonr merchants offers to sell ub two and a quarter bogging at sixteen cents. This is extremely low.

Justice to Mr. Phillips demands that we should publish this morning a card published over the signature of Mr. T. J.

Reporter—What did you mean by answering propo sals to “sell ?” Mr. L.—W’hy, we have arranged to have all our crops sold by contract and in bulk. To show you what we mean: W’e have this day closed a contract with au Atlanta cotton buy or, by which we agree to ship him all our cotton, and he agrees to sell it for 25 cents charge on the bale, and 25 cents per bale per month for storage. Forsyth, Fort Valley, aud other cities do the earns thing. Savannah charges sevtnty-five cents ptr bale. THE MLOOSEBSHll* OF THE GRANGE* Reporter—How much cotton will you control ? Mr. L.—Wo will control at least 100,000 bales. We hundred and sixty Granges, with an average we cannot publish ns we have mislaid the pa per. Certain it is, though, that this card, coming from a high officer of the church, clears Mr. Phillips' skirts of what our edito rial of Sunday would have seemed to have in- i timated. The East Bayou Sentinel, published in Louisiana, submits to us the following cheer ful proposition: “You can either exchange or go lo hell.” After having carefully weighed the alternative, we’ve decided that we can’t exchange.
