The Mexican dollar will only pass in Co- Iambus at 75 cenl3. In Naw Orleans they are quoted at 82 and 84 cents. They are warsh about the same ia New York.

The talk of buy ing nod selling this great right was the theme predominant in every eleotion. Tbe law against it Bhould be repealed or enforced, and as 1 >ng as it was law tbe grand juries should look 'to its enforce ment. E.o also obarged that nnyone who voted and had not paid his taxes agreea bly to law was an illegal voter, and all snob should bsindioted. Judge Smekd i3 equrlly emphatic.^ He quoted the published accounts of the election, and "impressad upon tbe grand jurors the supreme duty resting upon (hem to guard the purity ef the ballot bor. He delivered one of the most mas terly charges upon the subject that we have ever known, and is 'terribly m earn est’—to use tho phrase of Carlyle—in his pursuit after the iniquities which subvert the popular will. Ho has instructei tbe grand j ary to go to the bottom of the matter and make the pursuit and punish ment ot illegal voting so sure that here after the expression made at the ballot wilt be the reflex of the sentiments and wishes of those who vote honestly and who are honestly entitled to ehape tho affairs of government.” It ia understood that Judge Hillyer will follow in the same direction.

Provisions must be had, regardless of the volume of money in a country, and the prices for the same are therefore almost entiroly governed by tbe laws of supply and de mand. While low prices for provisions are not directly or immediately advan tageous to tbe producer, they are emi nently so to the consumer, and no people oan long feel the effects of bard'times when supplies are abundant and cheap. We are pleased to learn from the Thcmasvillo Times that the farmers are now all agreed that the oat crop has been injured very little if any by the late se vere cold. The orop is reported to be very large, and faraors, k sensible fellows, still keep on sowing. A Grange Down Upon an; Ad vance in Guano.—Thomasville 7imes, We learn throngh Mr. Varnedoe, Master: that a resolatlon was unanimously adop ted by Boston Grange at tbeir meeting on Wednesday not to pay more for guano this year than they did last.

A oommittee bas been ap pointed to endeavor to obtain from tbe owners of tho fair grounds that property, as a site for tho new oollege. Doubtless, in that event, another fairground would be seleoted. Hurbah for Thomas.—The Times says: Farmers are settling down to their year’s work with an energy and a deter mination whioh bodes no good to spoon- j. 1 tAi Gdox.’Head.—Birly county Hews We mat one headed farmer, Mr. R.

Now, however, he has plenty to eat, of his owa making, and he feeis so -.well about it that he has resolved to try, with all bis might, to keep in that whole some condition, if possible. A Wonderful Case.—McDuffie Jow nah ‘‘Last Saturday Mr. Jam-? V- Reese, of Wrightsboro, brought t8 Thomson one of the most remarkable monstrosities we have ever seen. It is a calf, about one month old, well grown and apparently strong and healthy for an animal so young. But the head is the curiosity. The upper jaw is split, or latner divided in the shape of a horse shoe nearly up to tbe eyes, the side forming a kind of fork, and extending on each side end far below lha under jaw. To each prong of this fork there is a single hut natural and well-developed nostril. There is no bone in the middle of this fork, but instead' there is a ball or hump of soft muscles, covered with long hair, beyond which the lower jawextende several inches, expos ing the teeth and a considerable portion of the tongne. The eyes are set squarely m the side of the head, and can scarcely be seen by one standing immediately in front of the animal. Having no upper jaw, the calf, of course,is unable to chew food, but subsists entirely on milk us fed from a bottle, of . which it is very fond and drinks heartily. It is utterly impossible to describe thU animal. It must bo seen before one can receive a correct impression of its monstrous de formity. It does not resemble anything we ever saw or dreamed of, and if wa were to meet it in the road, we would certiicly. make double-quick timo to the rear. . If Mr, Rsese can succeed in rais ing this animal to maturity, and we see no reason why ha may not, some show man or agent for a museum will gladly pay an enormous price for it.

Contested Election—Borrien County Hews: We learn through a private source that Mr. B. F. Sumcrliu will, on Monday next, at Douglas, in Coffeo county, con test Mr. John Tucker’s election to the office of Tax Receiver ot that county. Mr. Tucker’s majority was only one vote. cotton required to pay for a ten of ter tilizsrs. The reduced price of cotton makes this necessary if the manufacturers of these fertilizers are to get evea nearly as much for their stuff as they did last year. This. I should think, is within the comprehen sion of any farmer who has figured out the difference this year between bis an ticipated 10 cents a pound on cotton and his realized 7 j and 8 cents. It may be trnly said that tho reduced price of cotton makes the farmer leBs able to pay for these fertilizers. Grant it, but is that the fault of the “guano ring” manufacturers of fertilizers P It ia ad mitted that even at preaentlow prices bale of cotton will buy as much provision or clothing as ever, a3 all-other things aro proportionately reduced in price, and, as before said, I think the same will be found to apply to fertilizers when bought for money. The manufacturers have a price at which they oan afford to sell, and if our farmers elect to pay for it in cotton they must expect to give enough cotton to make the price, putting the cotton at a figure that may reasonably be looked for, judging from the pa3t season. The “guano ring” did not bring about the low price of cotton and can hardly be responsible for it. They cay they can afford to take such a price only for their staff. It is simply a question with the farmer as to whether he caa afford to pay the price. If the use of any fertilizer will produce an mcreass of prodaotion that will leave the farmer a profit on the outlay the question can be decided by any sohool boy who can figure, and all the “denunciations” of “guano rings” that could be gotten up will not alter the result. Worked out to it3 proper conclusion it is as simple a question as that of a farm' er’s calculating by results whether it will pay him to worry his teams and wear out his implements in properly preparing his land for planting. The result of tho out lay is the only teat, and when it is de monstrated that oommercial fertilizers will not pay all farmers will stop using them. The real source of all thi3 complaint about tbe price of fertilizers is tho ever lasting credit system upon which most of our farmers work tbeir- orops. A farmer must use his fertilizer before he caa make his crop?. Is it reasonable to ask a manufacturer of feitilizsrs to supply him with the fertilizer at lowest cash prizes nine months in advance of the crop and charge nothing for interest and cost of collection, to say nothing of risk of loss of principal invested ? Does the farmer’s merohant do this for him? Now, if we could, as a people, get rid of Urn credit system we would be batter, thriftier, and owe each other more of gool will and less of other matter not so soothing. And if Plain farmer and our “Baker"’ farmer, and a great many other farmers, will stick to the example of the few who will not buy oa credit, or in ad vance of what they can sec in hand, they will have little causa to complain about tbe number of pounds ot cotton the guatto seller demands ftom then, a: Let them go to any guano seller with Money in hand,' and if ha-wont eell as cheap or cheaper than ever, they may then cli'tn that an advance ia price has been made. Tho writer is neither a buy er nor a seller of fertilizers, and with no personal interest in tho matter, simply views it from a point of common sense and * Justice. Macon, Ga., January 16th, 1879. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In your paper of this date you published a communication signed “Bake;,” in which the writer undertakes, in a mild way, to overhaul you for taking sides with the guano dealers in your remarks on a com munication from Plain Farmer somo timo since. I think any unprejudiced man who can understand plain English will say, after examining your editorial comments above referred to, that you did not take Bided or show any injustice towards the farmers. Your own remarks on that point are sufficiently explanatory of your positior, however, and I lave nothing more to say in your defense. Baker Eays that Plain Farmer did not touch npon the merits or demerits of the fertilizers, but denounced the action ot tho convention in advancing the price. As Baker claims this as tho only point of attack in Plain Farmer’s latter, and as he join3 in said denunciation we’ll look to this point first and then traco the trouble back to its real origin. Has tbo price bsen advanced on commercial fer tilizers? I thick it will be found a; a fact that nearly any fertilizer sold in this State can bo bought cheaper for cash now than ever before. The convention men tioned by Plain Farmer and Baker trade an inorease in the number of pounds of TlieMlll«3Inrpby Affair. Wo continue to give the sentiment of the Stats Press on the Hill-Murphy quarrel: Thomasvillo Times. I We fear that if this breach is allowed to widen and deepen—as it surely will if not checked—the woret results will follow. Why not Governor Colquitt select a true and trusted friend, Mr. Hilt another and they two a third, and let them say whether Mr. Hill has shown himself the Govornor’s friend in a true sense and whether or not it is the dnty of the Gov ernor to n3e his influence to purge his administration of a subordinate, against whom charges exist similar to those pre ferred against Murphy? The people of Geotgia who have labor ed to built up the Democratic party, pro test against Mr. Hill and Governor Col quitt pursuing a course, which must in evitably result in a split, if there is a pos sibility of an honorable adjustment be tween them. We believe and hope some thing will yet ba done to avert tbo threat ened danger. THE PARTY 80LID. Greensboro Homs Journil.J We presume there is bat one opinion among the people of Georgia in regard to the practioes whioh Mr. Hill so emphati cally condemns, and we hope that no one will deem theaolion of the Legislature personal sbonld it carry out the recommendation of the able reports of tbe Committeo of Investigation now be fore that body.

The Loaisiville Courier Journal says.. “Senator Ban Hill is said to have lost one hundred and ninety thousand dollars in tbe last three yeara by his planting in terests, and he has also lost the esteem of the people of Georgia by his ill-advised attaoks npon Governor Colquitt.” We fnliy agree with the Courier Journal in what it says about Mr. Hill’s Iojs ot es teem of the peoplocf Georgia; bnt we don’t know where Ben got hi3 hundred and ninety thousand to lose in tbe last three years by bis planting interests. We don’t believe he lost it; but if be did be must bave got]hi3 money outside of the State of Georgia. mb. hill’s mistake. Carroll County Timai.J Mr. Hill seems determined to agitate this thing to the bitter end, bnt we think before it winds up he will find ont he has mads a groat mistake in trying to break down the Governor and the Demo cratio party of the State on account of the action of a clerk in the Treasury De partment, no more gnilly of “illegal and corrupt” practices than he is himself. Early Couaty News.1 Now,although we have felt and believed that Mr. Hill has been unnecessarily fussy about this affair, and that, despite all be has said to tbo contrary, he has ungenet- oualy and causelessly as tailed Governor Colquitt, we hope the Legislature will probe the matter to the very bottom, let who will suffer by it. Georgia can’t afford to foster Radicalism in her midst in its worst form—that of official corrup tion. Mr. Hill has thrown down the gauntlet, and it must be taken up. Either he or soma one else most ba put to shame. Hill strenuously objects to being pu' upon trial himaelf, but the Legislature miy think he, as well as Murphy,'has transcended his privileges.

Patriot.) — On the 27th day of li9t month there was tried in our Distriot Court tho di vorce suit of Robinson versus Robinson. Mrs. Caroline Robinson sued for a di vorce from her husband, James Robinson; and for $800 alimony, and judgment, wo believe, was rendered accordingly. The oase was of considerable interest and quite a large number of witnesses wore examined on both sides. Friday, tho 27th, after the conclusion of tbe C3se, tne parties to the suit and the witnesses loft for their homes in the country. At Musootab. and before reaching her home, M'ss Martha Gentry, a material witness for Mrs. Robinson, died. On the 1st instant, Mrs. Robinson died, and wo as certain that nearly every witness in her behalf, some eight or ten in number, ere siok, and net expected to recover. Far ther, the defendant, Mr. Bobinson, is eon- fined to his bed and not expeotsd to live, while of his witnesses quite a number aro sick, with the ohanoes of recovery in some of their cases very doubtful. It appears that in the journey home, the weather being very severe, these parties oontraoted bad colds, whioh were follow* ed by pneumonia. The Eufaula Times publishes the fol lowing from the President of the ex ploded Peoples’ Bank: A Card.—I am sensibly aware of the unenviable attitude that I now sustain to this community, and to the financial and commercial world, and the knowledge of this fact cannot fail to be otherwise than mortifying and humiliating to me. In my efforts to sustain the Peoples' Bank and weather the storm which has so rudely assailed it, I have doubtless com plicated many wrongs, in my strenuous exertions and almost ceaseless labors to finally accomplish the right, and—at last, 1 have failed. I might stop just here, for failure i3 the “Omega,” the “Finis” to reputation—because,measured by the world’s standard, “success is the test of merit,” and success alone. In my circular announcing tbe suspen sion of tho “People’s Bank,” I asked that I might be spared tho ordeal of personal explanations to any and every oue, and as the affairs of the institution will, I pre sume, undergo an official examination at once. I again, for obvious reasons, make the same request. I might enlarge and elaborate npon this very nopleasant sub ject, but at present I prefer not to do so. If, when a thorough and an impattial examination has been completed, I am not, to some extent, exonerated, I shall oertainly not seek my justification in an/ through tbe pnblio prims, nor do I now ask fur's verdict of tbe people in advance of HI tho facts, bnt I do ask tbeir cnarity, and if this is denied me, I ask their silence. I would not indulge in senti ment, nor do I ask for sympathy, well knowing that without solicitation many wilt give me their warmest sympathies, while others would as persistently deny them even though they were solioited □pan bended knees and with tbe bowed head of supplication. Lite with me, has been a busy whirl of action, and in the multiplicity of it3 acts and engagements, I have done bat little eood, while upon tbe other hand I am conscious that I have made many grave mistakes acd committed many uninten tional wrongs, but I will assert-without fear of successful contradiction, that no humau being in ths struggles incident to friil, suffering humanity has ever ap pealed in vain for whatever of aid or as sistance that I could render, and it mat. tered not whether the appeal came from tbe lit-tle ' blue fingered,” tarfooted chi.d of poverty, or the “bearded mer,” bowed down with the weight of his own errors and miscxlculatioLS.

Nellie, the five year old daughter of S. E. Cary, of the Cres cent city, left Chicago December 18, when the thermometer was two degrees below zero, to return to the home from which she had been absent since last spring. The house at New Orleans Lad been cleaned, kalsomined and fresooed when the family left it seven months ago, end not a oase of yellow fever invaded it dar ing the sanmer, bat, in five days after her arrival, Nellie was taken violently sick with the fever, end soon had the dreaded black vomit, with sli tbe other asnal symptoms. This ease happened in house whioh had been snbjeoted to a greater cold than the 32 degrees above zero, at whioh temperaiure yellow fever poison has been snppcaed to be destroyed and in a room where tbe thermometer marked only 41 degrees when tbe child was takon siok, though the doctors have alwajB taught that at least sixty degrees are required to develop tho fever.

That to the States belonged the regnlalion and con trol ot the suffrage and polios jurisdic tion; and these points have been substan tially affirmed by the Supreme Conrt in' tbi3 very oonnectioc. No doubt Senator Edmunds expected them to take this gronnd. He mast have known that they could take no other; but he expects to organizs the next national campaign in opposition to it, and in de fence, substantially, of a supreme and om* nipotent centralism, with nnqueitiocable aud illimitable powers, over the States and the citizens of the States. That is the platform ot the “man on horseback,” whom they are going to pnt in tbe field- one hand bearing Federal thunderbolts for their party foes, and in the ether plenty of money fer the party friends— tbe purse and sword.
