We are glad to see that the energetic Presi

dispatch. Atlanta ongbt to hold np his arm*
in ibi* praiseworthy effort. We have given
some thought to tbe subject, and have no
hesitation iu advancing the opinion that onr
city Las more to hope for from tbe
completion of this enterprise, than
from any other prospective source
ol wealth. The “philosopher’* •tone’*
with Ltr is cheap iron and coal. There is no
city in the world that is more favorably sit
uated for steam manufactures, and to these
w« must look for any material advancement
in popnlation and commercial greatness.
Tbe road to Birmingham is the one to de

of trade. We bid President Adair a God

The committee in responding lo tbe Gen- |
eral Synod of tbe Reformed Church South,
have held several meetings in which the sub
ject of consolidation was thoroughly discuss
ed. Harmony and good feeling prevailed.
Their action was substantially as follows:
The committee unanimously agreed to report
to their respective bodies which are to meet
in May and June this year, that a plan of co
operation is practicable so far us the leading
features of the ecclesiastical workers are con
cerned, and probab’y that relating to home
and foreign missions and public action. No
steps thus far have been taken towards effect
ing an organized union of the denominations
represented in harmony, which had thus far
prevailed, renders it probable in the minds of
many that thip consummation will be real
ised at no distant day.

District of Georgia, awakened an eothusiastic ! v Tb. French Academy have postponed the
, , ... , contemplated reception to Emile Olivier be-
respc use from nearly every press m Georgia. -
There are three papers, however, that ccmeto
us laden with reproach; touched off with sar
casm or filled with impertinence.
The Griffio News, edited by a Mr. Brown,
fiilminates small wrath against Mr. Hill, and
claims that he lives in Atlanta. This, the
aforesaid Mr. Brown is informed, is a mis
take. Mr. Hill’s residence, (the only one he
owns), isin Athens. His family lives there.
His horses and carriage and servants are
there. He pays taxes there, and he is a resi
dent of Athens. If it were wo rth the trouble,
we would ask Mr. Brown to correct the
wrong statement made in Lis editorial. It
is j o sible l.e may be graceful enough to do
i: without our suggestion.
The Athens Watchman, which is controll
ed by Mr. Christy, an old man of usually
gr.o t habits, gets after the Herald with that
solemn and awe-inspiring pomp that charac
terizes all its movements. The Watchman
is u^d because the Hf.rald interferes with
the affairs of the Ninth District, and assumes
to call ns an outsider. While the Herald is
published outside of the Watchman's district,
it circulates daily, and weekly, probably twice
as many papers in the district as the Watch
man, and certainly has the right to talk to Us
readers in this district upon aDy subject
wLich interests them.
Had we not a subscriber, however, in the
whole of the thrice tiered area that is illu
minated by the wise words of ex-Congress-
man Christy, we shoald have plentiful ex
cuse for meddling in the affairs of that Dis
trict in the repetition of the Watchman’s in- j
teiforeiico in the matters of our owa baili
wick. An Atlanta Editor certainly has the
right to blo»h t cut and drive at any sec
tion oi the State of Georgia. For he and
Lis town catch attention of quill drivers
everywhere. But doubtless, ere this, Colonel
Christy has become ashamed of his silly ar
ticle and has determined to give Ben. Hill
Lis ardent support. We trust so. The Colo
nel bo* written some really brilliant articles
entitled “Denunciation of the Chromo,” and
we shall be pleaded to see his powerful pen
Hashing in our behalf.
The Savannah Advertiser is mad because
the Herald advocates Ben. Hill’s election,
though it doesn't state upon what specific
ground. An astute friend at oar elbow lays
it to the casual indigestion of the editor of
that amiable sheet. We discredit this sug-
gtsiiou. So powerful a pbillippic could
s'* irecly have sprung from such a trivial in
spiration; hardly such an Iliad from so slen
der a source. The Advertiser gets foamy
because we compliment Mr. Hill (a certain
c .nclulute in the ninth) Mr. Stephens (a cer
tain candidate in the eighth), Mr. Benning
(a probable candidate in the third) os good
and brilliant men. It thinks we Lave bo
right to interfere in these matters, and lacer
ates us with what Brother Randall of the
Constitutionalist is pleased to call “the
sbarpe.-t pen of the Georgia press.** We are
HiddeneJ to Kce an incroasiug austerity in
fhe editor of tbe Advertiser as he grows older;
* lightning np of his girths as he saunter*
down the bill. We remember when this gen
tie in an made hi* brilliant, though brief, race
for Coi grciK in the Colombo* District, that
o 1 ii living np in the mountains of Cherokee,
Georgia, w« permed a paragraph or *o in his
interest. Which ••interference” be strangely
forgot to u Kent. It ih probable that his eagle
eye. iu studying the casuistries of the cam
pHi n, overlooked our humble tribute; or it is
possible that be himself was then gazing
through thru* eyes the use of which Hamlet
recommended to Horatio.
ltut we arc for Ben. IIiJl for Congrts* iu
the Ninth District. Wore he li viDg in this
District, he would be oar candidate here,
it he w.;s in Virginia or in Kentucky, we
should support him there. He is one of the
meet brilliALt, on* of the wisest, one of tbe
most learned, and certainly the most eloquent
iuan tliat wo Lava iu .the S>uth. And there
is not a District in the State that would not
honor itself And honor tbe Scuth in sending
him to thn National Congress.
There is not a man in tbe Ninth District
who i* not directly interested in the race
himself, w ho does not know that Ben. Hill is
the best man that tbe District could send to
Congress, by a hundred times over. It is
possible that fn tbe plentitude of candidate#,
a show of opposition will be made to Mr.
Hill, but the people are going to elect him.
There is not shadow a doubt about
this. * -
cause he persists in retaining his inananral
address in eulogy of Emperor Louis Napo
leon.

Lisbon, February 5, 1874.
A steamer from Rio Janeiro, February 8tb,
has arrived. The probability of war with the
Argentine States and account of the insurrec
tion in Paraguay is increasing, and there is
a general decline of values iu consequence.
Troops and vessels were going forward to
Paraguay. At Buenos Ayres the elections
were in progress, and were attended with in
tense excitement. Troops were being dis
patched to various points on the frontiers and
war with Brazil was looked on as liable to
break out at any moment. Munitions were
arriving from the United States. The cholera
continued to rage, and the deaths from the
disease average seven daily.
God Bless Georgia !
We print to-day the preamble and resolu
tions adopted by the Georgia Legislature, up
on hearing of the action of the South Caro
lina Taxpayeis* Convention. They have the
ring of the trne metal; but from whom can
the Palmetto State expect encouragement and
help, if not from tho Empire State, our near
neighbor,who is bound to ns ho closely by ties
of common feeliDg and common blood. Nor
is this the first time that Georgia has
hastened to relieve, as far us she
might, the necessities ot an af
flicted sister. When the tire ot 1861
swept from river to river, burning out the
beatisg hear! of old Cbailestou, the Legisla
ture of Georgia was in session. So soon us
the tidings of the calamity reached the tars
of the members, a joint resolution was adopt
ed, without a dissenting voise, appropriating
one hundred thousand dollars tor the relief
of the onfoitunates whom the fierce flames
had made homeless. While the black pall
still hung over onr city, while tbe ashes were
yet glowiug and the tall of crumbling walls
shocked the saddened ear, the generous con
tribution ot Georgia, distributed by a com
mittee of citizens, brought comloit to thou
sands of Cbarle'itoniaas. Georgia then gave
twice, because she gave quickly; and just ai
prompt is her conduct now.
Deubtless the Legislature of every South
ern State which has an honest government,
will, when practicable, follow Georgia's lead,
and, in any event, the committee from South
Carolina, who present the Memorial to Con
gress, can count on the active support of the
gallant Gordon and his Southern associates
in both the Senate and tbe House. Iu very =
truth, the dark cloud has a silver lining. !

Bills Vetoed by the Governor.
We give below a number of the captions of
! bills passed by the General Assembly at its
| lite session, and disapproved by tbe Govern
or, together with his reasons therefor:
A bill tor the relief of married and indigent
soldiers.
Thi* act was vetoed on the ground that the
provision of tbe Constitution requiring a two-
thirds vote, and the calling of the ayes and
nays and their entry upon the journals of the
two Houses had not been complied with.
A bill to amend the various acts incorpo
rating Fletcher Institute in the town of
Thomasville, Thomas county,
Was vetoed because the bill was in viola
tion of article 3, section 6, paragraph 5, of
the Constitution of 1868.
A bill to authorize the Chattahoochee
Manufacturing Company to have surveyed
three small islands in the Chattahoochee
River, constituting a portion of the dam, and
also to authorize the Governor to make titles
to the same.
This Bill, proposing to donate certain
Islands in the Chattahoochee River belonging
to the State, to a manufacturing company,
was disapproved on the ground of its viola
ting article 3, section 6, paragraph 2, of the
Constitution of 1868.
A bill to provide for the transaction of bus
iness and the hearing and determining of
causes iu the Courts of Ordinary of this State
whenever the Ordinary is providentially ab
sent from his Court or otherwiso disqualified.
This bill wus disapprove) upou the Con
stitutional ground, tbat it seeks to vest in
an attorney, to be selected by the parties
under certain circomatAuces the powers
which under the Constitution are vested ex
clusively in tbe Ordinaries of the counties.
Other featares in the bill are also objectiona
ble.
A bill to provide for the removal of the
county site of Coffee county from Douglas
to such place on tbe Brunswick and Albany
railroad as the tax payers may by ballot
direct, etc.
The bill was disapproved upon the ground
that the removal of the county town of Cof
fee county contemplated and provided foi in
the bill, is made conditional upon the crea
tion of the new county of Nicholls; that bill
having failed, the passage of this bill becomes
unnecessary.
A bill to change the #ame of tho Georgia
Military Institute and to incorporate the same.
(This bill was submitted to the Attorney Gen
eral, who returned the opinion that the bill
is in violation of article three, section six,
paragraph five of the Constitution of 1868 )
The bill was disapproved for this reason.
A bill to preserve unimpaired the right of
trail by jury.
This bill was disapproved on the grounds
that it would unsettle the administration of
the criminal law by the courts. Jurors are
not, as a general thing, learned in the law,
and to require them to become judges of the
law within the meaning of this bill would be
unjust to them, perilous to the rights of per
sons ou trial for crime, and damaging to tbe
public interest. Tbe opinion of the Supreme
Court, in the case of Brown \&. the State in
tbe 40th Georgia Reports, construes section
4646 of the Code correctly in my judgment.
Instead of being left to grope in the dark iu
search of the law, consulting their “internal
suggestions," aud frequently under the influ
ence oi prtjndice, excited in their minds by
the eloquent appeals of counsel, jurors should
take the law from the court, and applying it
to the facts from the witues.se*, find a general
verdict of gnilty or not guilty. Besides, I
very greatly doubt the power of the Legisla
ture to strip the courts ot their judicial power
by providing tbat they shall not have the
light to say wfiat tbe law is in criminal cases
properly within their jurisdiction.
The Legislature has no power to transfer
the judicial authority of the courts to the ju
ries, aud compel the former to ubdioate their
functions iu favor of tbe latter.

•*Ilou*e keeper” of Health*
The liver being the great depurating or
blood cleansing organ ot the system—6et this
great “housekeeper of onr health’’ at work,
aud the foul con options which gender in the
blood, and rot out, us it were, tbe machinery
of life, are gradually expelled from the sys

Medical Discovery with very small daily
doses of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pel
lets uio pre-eminently the articles needed.
They cure every kind of humor from the
woist scrofula to the common pimple, blotch
or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heul
under their mighty curative influence. Vir
ulent blood poisons that lurk in the system
are by them robbed of their terrors, aud by
their persevering aud somewhat protracted
use the most tainted systems may be com
pletely renovated and built up uno*. En
larged glands, tumors aud swellings dwindle
away and disappear under the influence of
these great resolvents.

When I was 12 #r 15 years ot ago, I took
what is called King’s Evil, and by constant
dociering, it would heul in one place and
break out- in another, it also broke out in
my left ear. 1 first found your name in the
Christian Advocate, and sent ten miles for
the first bottle, which did me more good than
all oilier medicines I ever used. I am 28
years ol»l, and doctored with live doctors, and
not ' ueof them helped me so much as your
bottle of Discovery. I have got well aud
able to do a good day’s work.

The Macon Tragedy. —The Telegraph yes
terday says:
John B. Cherry, who was shot by George
Abel, on Tuesday, died at 3 o’clock yesterday
morning. Up to a late hour Tuesday even
ing there was good reason to hope that his
wound would not prove fatal, but about
11 o’clock at nignt his condition changed and
be grew rapidly worse, living only about foar
hours thereafter.
Up to our latest accounts last night Abel
still survived. He rallied a little during the
forenoon of yesterday, but his condition is a
very precarious one, and nearly all the chances
are against his recovery.
A Stockholder,” recommends, iu the Ma
con Telegraph, the election of Hon. J. B.
Jones, of Burke couuty, to tbe presidency of
the farmers’direct trade company.
Mrs. Bearinan, wife of Mr. W. M. Bear-
tia of Sumter county, fell into tbe fire last
Thursday, and was literally burned to a crisp.
Mr. A. Barnett, who some fifteen years ago
sold papers of pins, tape, Ac., in a small shop

FARMINO IN BPALD1NO.
Tbe Griffin news of yesterday says:
Tbe planters of tnis section are striviug to
release themselves from debt and make them
selves independent. They have largely
curtailed tlnir force, and many are ruuning
plows themselves. We know of some men
who last y* ar employed at least thirty negroes.
This year the number has beeu leduced to
ten, aud tbe planter has taken charge of a
plow. Another farmer employs no negroes.
wh»T© he had many last season, and he
and all his sous are doing all the farm-
work. We bear of other instances of thiB
kind, aud believe it a lair indication of tbe
people generally. Negro labor is cheaper
and more abundant then at auy period since
tbe war. lnsttnd ot being soyght after, as
heretofore beeu tbe case, numbers are beg
ging for work. Hands which last
year commanded $100 and $130 a
year, now ask only $50. Many out
of employment seek to labor for
clothes and f. od, yet planters will not or are
Uuublo to give that. These “wanderers” are
however, allowed to cultivate laud at a small
rental, but they must subsist theuiHelves.
This is the general condition. Whites aro
lendiug the fore a iu the field io active opera
tion!'.
We have noticed hitherto tho fact that a
large breadth of laud has been sown in oats.
A still larger oue w.ll be planted iu corn.
Much lews cotton tlmu hitherto is to be culti
vated, aud a fir less auionut of tertilisem
employed.
