Washington, Jnly 13.—Ia view of
misconceptions whioh seem to prevail in
many parts of the Sonthern States with
regard to the powers and duties of ths
National Board of Health, Dr. Billings,
Vioe-President of that organization, has
addressed a letter to the Sanitary Connoil
of the Mississippi Valley, which ia sub
stantially as follows:
First, It is the duty of S ato and looal
health authorities and not of the Nation
al Board of Heelth to take the Initiative
in adopting measures to provent the
spread of contagions diseases. The Na
tional Board of Health has erased to be
piloted and oiroulated certain reoommsn
dations which indicate the minimum
amount of precaution to bo taken. State
or local authorities may, in their discre
tion, make more stringet rules than those
suggested, bnt if they are too stringent,
even to absolute non-inierconrse, this
Board has no power to interfere. It is
only when rules are inadequate that it
oan taka legal notion.
Second, although this board desires
to do everything in its power to aid
State and municipal organizations, it ia
not to be expected to do or pay for all
work of prevention ; neither can it place
money in the hands of looal boards to
be expended at tbe latter’s discretion,
It must know for wbat purpose monoy is
to be used. The secretary of the treas
ury, however, has approved a special
estimate of tho Board for funds to aid
tho health authoritiis of Memphis and
the State of Tennessee, and prevent the
spread of fever to tho adjoining States.
But the power of this Board is very
small compared with that of the local
authorities; and finally, the letter con
cludes as follows: “Don’t lot quaran
tine occupy the attention of your coun
cil to the exolusion of municipal cleanli
ness, which is the great object to be se
cured,”
Dr. Tarner, Secretary of the Nation
al Board of Health, famishes the follow*
ing summary of the Board's recommen
dations to local Southern orgaizations :
First, let State or local boards authori
tatively accept the rules and regulations
of the National Board of Health. Sec
ond, let them notify this Board, that
such acceptance is made and havo the
notice properly authenticated and certi
fied. When these thiDgB have been done,
if aid is needed tho local board requiring
it must specify the amount wanted and
present with auoh specification an item
ized schedule, stating the objeots to
which it is to be applied, such as pay of
inspector a, policemen, food, medical at
tendance, buildings for quarantine par-1 '
poses, etc. Money can be fnrniahed only
in accordance with these conditions.
London, July 14.—The Times' financial
article says the state cf the money mar
ket is one of congestion, produced by
long distrust. As yet there is no appear
ance of a revival of confidence. The mar
ket if a prey to rumors, eaca one of which
tends to restrict the range of business
still further. Money commands no price
commensarato with the risks whioh lend
ers must take. Tbe latest reports are
concerning impending failures in tho iron
trade in Mtddleborongh.
The Financier says one of the largest
firms of iron masters in the north, whose
position has hitherto bsen above suspi
cion, is Raid to bo embarrassed. Embar
rassments in other quarters are also spo

university bill.
Berlin, Jaly 14.—Seventeen National
L'berals, who on Saturday last seceded
from that party, constituted a siotion
headed by the historian, Trietechke.
Toeir secession was due to the vote of
censure psesed upon them by the major
ity of the party for supporting Bismarck’s
views on the tariff. The closing dabate
on the tariff will bo memorable for the
protests of Herr Dalbreuh and Herr
Lanigr, who prophesied nothing bnt dis
content and confnston as the result of the
tariff.
London, July 14 —A Berlin dispatoh
to tbe Morning Post, says the contempla
ted inoresseot the army is In oonseqnence
of the increased military strength of

Is reported to bold similar opinions with

London, July 14—The St. Petersburg

haid gloves, when they were stopped
by patrolman O’Conner, who, single
banded, forced his way into the place and
arrested Cash. The crowd fled on the
approach of the policeman. Caeh had
evidently gotten the worst of the en
counter.

London, July 14.—The Times says it is
expeoted Sir Stafford Northcote will
state In the House of Commons to-night
what measures the government finds it
necessary to abandon for the present ses
sion of Parliament on acoonnt of want of
time. If tho Government’s bill to regu
late elections and suppress corrupt prac
tices, should be among the measures
thus withdrawn, it will be taken as an
indication that another seeEion of tho
present Parliament will begin. If ,on
the other hand, the government should
suddenly evince a strong desire to pass
that bill, it will be inferred that a gen
eral election is contemplated before Feb
rnary.

Tbe National Board of Health has is
sued a circular urging npos all munici
pal authorities and sanitary organizations
in the Sonthern Slates the importance of
seonring the utmost possible cleanliness,
in the cities and towns where fever has
been or ie apprehended. Cases cf fever
recently observed must be regarded aB
doe to erases surviving from last year and
not to recent importation from other
countries. It follows therefore, that tbe
disease may appear in othei places visit
ed by last year’s epidemic and that there
is danger o’f its spread to the north and

and careful inspection by competent per
sons cf all parts of the Sonthern oities

Denver Citt, July 14.—In the Fed

a motion for the dismissal of the Receiv

ground that he was appointed throngh

parties from whom he took it. Seme ad

In the Grand-Canon case Jadge Hallet
decided that the mandate of the Supreme
Court giving a prior right to the Rio
Grande company embraced the whole
sad prospect for the husbandman. Cot

rain spell would prove very disastrous to
the weed, by causing it to shed ita fruit
and put on an abnormal growth, whioh
wonld make more hush than fleeoe. The
guano which haB lam to a great extent
inactive during the dry weather, would
then go to work with a vim, but alas! the
new limbs, foliage and forms created by
its energizing agency, in all probability
would fall a prey to the frosts of Autumn.
Gentle rains at first, might obviate this
catastrophe by inducing a gradual and
healthy growth. The refreshing, pene

The streets ot Canton, (Mna
NswToik Herald. |
The streets in China are very narrow
and very dirty. The average width is
from three to five. On the occasion of
onr visit they had been cleaned np, bnt
they were, even with the cleaning, in a
condition that wonld gratify a New York
Tammany Alderman m the days of the
umpire ot Tweed. They are paved with
long narrow slabs of stone, with no side
walks. Every house that we passed on
onr way was a bazar, and consisted of
one open door that led into a spacious
room. In some of these spiral stairways
led up to tho store rooms or dwelling
chambers. We found some idea of
the wealth of Canton, and of the
wants of the coantry which it
supplies, when we remember how
vast a trade these bazars represent,
ed. In looking oyer a plan of the city I
bad been struck with the names of the
8treeta, the pootical and devotional spirit
they expressed. There was no glorifica
tion of mere human kings, and yon could
almost fancy that you were reading of
come allegorioal city, like what Banyan
saw in his dream. There was Peace street
and the street of Benevolence and Love.
Another, by some violent wrenoh of im
agination, was the street of Refreshing
Breezes. Some contented mind had
given a name to the street of Early Be
stowed Blessings. The pate) ml senti
ment, so sacred to the Chinaman, found
expression on the street of One Hundred
Grandsons, and the street ot Gne Thous
and Grandsons. There was the street
of a Thousand Beatitudes, which, let os
pray, was enjoyed by ite founder. There
were streets consecrated to Everlasting
Love, to a Thousandfold Peace, to Nine
fold Brightness, to Aoonmnlated Bless
ings, while a practical eonl, who knew
the value of advertising, named his ave
nue the Market of Golden Profits.
Chinese mythology gave the names of
the Ascending Dragons, the Saluting
Dragon and the RepoBing Dragon. Oth
er streets are named after trades and aV.
ccations, and it ia noticeable that in
Canton, as in modern towns, the work
ers in various oallings cluster together.
There is Botelnut street, where yon can
buy the batelnut, of whioh wo saw eo
much in Siam, and the cocoannt, and
drink tea. There is where the Chinese
hats are sold and where yon can bay the
finery of a mandarin for a dollar or two.
There is eyeglass street, whero the com
pass is soijfl, and if yon choose to bny a
compass there is no harm in remember
ing that we owe tbo invention of that
subtle instrument to China. Another
given to tho manufacture of bows
and arrows, another to Prussian
blue, a third to the prepara
tion of fnra. The stores have signB in
Chinese characters, gold letters on a
red or black ground, whioh are hnng In
front a foot or two from the wall, and
droop before yon aa yon pass under them,
producing a peculiar effect, as of an ex
cess of ornamentation like Paris on a
fete day. The habit to which you are
acoustomed in .Paris of giving tbe store
fanciful or poetic name prevails in
Canton. One merchant calls his house
“Honest Gains.” Another, moro ambi
tions, names his bouse “Great Gains.”
Ojl x-tiefiad soul preclaims his store to
be a “Never-Eodmg Success,” wh'Ia his.
; th-V.r’. ia “Ten Taousand Tim's
SuceeeefaL” There is the etcra cilia 1
‘Erer Eudaring,” and ethers udept a
spirit cot common in trade, by speaking
cf their shops as “Heavenly Happiness”
and “By Heaven Made Prosperous.”
Others, more practical, signify by some
tilth. Let us hope that the present
prices may be maintained, and a good
crop reward the diligent labors of the
farmer.
nur the bbbad prospect
ia the one oonsumiug question of the hour.
The facta cannot be disguised that at a
high estimate tbe corn crop of Upper and
Middle Georgia will not exceed one half
of an average. In tFh Southern and
Southwestern portions of the State the
aoconnts derived from authentic sources
are still more gloomy. Tbe more advanc
ed condition or the cereal has caused it to
enoonnter the whole foroe of the drought
in that region, and it is in a most pitta
ble condition. Dry taasele, blasted blades
and earless stalks by tbe million, tell the
wofnl story of the fntnre. Good seasons
may yet save, however, the plantings of
May and Jone, and there is ample time to
bridge the situation,
if the farmer will only be np and doing.
The cultivation of the ootton crop has
been finished. Now, theD, let everybody
go to work to retrieve the inevitable sna
disastrous falling off in the prodnotion of
onr most important food staple. Im$ri
mis. it ia not too lato to realiza
a full crop of field peas. Oa poor land
especially, this crop will yield beat when
when planted late, es it receives no check
in the fall and does not go to vine bnt
merely bnnehea and bears very tbiokly.
On the sea coast the writer has gathered
a fine yield of the specked pea on a single
acre planted as late as August
7th. Flush up tho ground, lay off
in rows two and a half feet asun
der and drop from seven to ten kernels
one foot apart covering tolerably deep to
prevent the drying effects of hot suns be.
fore germination. One additional plow
ing with the sweep and perhaps a light
hoeing 1b all the cultivation required.
When the peas begin to ripen waioh
them closely, and as soon as half of the
crop tnrns yellow, gather and store away
all of the matured pods, and before the
leaves begin to drop, out down the whole
field abont six inches from the snrfaoe
throwing the product of two ortbree rows
into one. It has been ascertained on
high authority that tbs roots and fibrons
portion of tbe plant when plowed in are
almost as valuable for fertilizing purposes
as the whole vine. Moreover, they prove
very injurious when fed to stook, fre
quently killing mnleB and horses.
The vines and unripe peas shonld be
allowed to remain thinly scattered in the
field if the weather be warm and snnny
for two or three days. Tnen throw them
np into small oonicat oocki and wait at
least a week before honeing or rioking
np finally. As many as o&n be loosely
stored in barns, out honseB, and sheds
shonld be pnt np in a green state, howev
er, and occasionally stirred until wholly
onred. The pea vine is difficult to cure.
It shonld never be paoked solidly in bnlk,
bnt on the contrary be kept ventilated by
means of rails properly disposed, and fre
quently examined and turned over to pre
vent moulding. Thus treated the writer
has never failed to save them.
There is still abnndaaca of time also
to raise turnips, carrots, German millet
and forage corn. Every available inch,
even the fence corners, shonld be devoted
to these crops, to fill the months of man
and beaBt daring the ensuing winter. Of
the turnip crop we shall speak more here
after. Rutabagas will yield well sown
as late as September.
To plant in such weather as has been
experienced for a month past would sim
ply be a waste of seed. Now is tho time
also to sow cumbers, okra and snapbeans
for fall use, and to dig and lay aside seed
Irish potatoes, to allow the eyes to start
before putting them in the ground next
month."
Those who have not completed the
laying by of their cotton, also, would do
well to scatter broadcast in rye or oate a
few acres of the beat land, covering with
the sweep, for winter pasturage or soil
ing.
It is not too late also to raise more
than half a crop of potato alip3. Cat the
vine about two foot from the mother po
tato, and, after leveling the bed with a
hoe, place two or even three vines par
allel to eaoh other and cover with banks
of earth closely packed and about 16
inches asunder, leaving uncovered inter
vals of fire or six inches between every
hil*. From these expoeed vines new
sprouts shoot forth, while the potatoes
make—their appearance beneath the
banks in perfect clusters. The sweet
ootatoes raised by this method will keep
properly put away, almost like corn
daring the winter, and make by far the
best seed. Tbs writer has raised fair
crops in the low conntry set out as late
as August. If seasonable raina bring
forth a crop of crab or Crawford grass,
let this natural forage be carefully cat
and dried when in bloom, to supplant
the scant fodder yield.
With the above precautions carefully
carried out our farmers need not buy a
bushel ot Western oorn next year. The
writer when a low country planter Kia
fed his horses and moles for twelve
months together on peas in the hall well
dampened and given in rations of a half
bushel to each animal at a feed. Never
did they keep in finer condition. He has
also ginned for two months oonolneively
feeding only upon sweet potatoes and dry
fodder. The potatoes were - carefully
washed and given in quantities of a peck
at a bait. Salt was freely administered
every day or kept in the troughs, and
there was not a single instance of colio or
any other disease among the mules thus
ed whilp ginning out the crop. He
never ventured, however, to put at any
brisk work the animals fed upon potatoes
nor oan we assert that they would be
suitable food daring the heats of summer.
From the above, and we speak by the
card, it may be truthfully asserted that
not a .farmer, in Georgia need spend a
dollar for oorn next year, if he will go
to j work intelligently and utilize the
means within his reach immediately to
supply with other crops the apprehended
scarcity of corn. Tboss who fail to do
will have themselves to blame.
It is very difficult to keep our little ones
free from the disorders ot babyhood, and

The Savannah News says t It appears
that the moat speculators in Maoon lost
nearly $25,000 by thereoent decline

We think the above is a mistake,
though some of those who will persist in
dabbling in futures have probably oome
to grief. Such operations are folly aa
nuoertatn aa the throw of the dioe and
will in the end prove quite as disastrous.
If the above paragiapu is true, then we
suppose it is abont a drawn game in Ma>

upon futures. The gains several weeks
on ootton fntnres were quite large. Now
the beam of fortune is descending on the
opposite side.

Mountain Signal: A Crowing Red
Bird.—Mr. A. J. Edge informs ns that
his section of the county has a veritable
sensation in the shape of a crowing red
bird. For the past three or four years
this strange bird has been staying on
and around the farm of Wo. S. Christy,
Esq, and is being seen and heard to crow
almost daily by the people ot that neign
borhood. It has tbe same motion of the
head that a rooster has when crowing and
imitates that fowl to perfection in sound,
exoept the fineness of voice. Will some
one learned in the habits of bird-life rise
and explain.
Fulscub Flattest.—Under this head
the Atlanta Phonograph says: The Pho

has no friends to reward nor enemies to

beyond a shadow of a doubt that a large
number of our rural brethren are terribly
imposed on. One instance will be re
cited. Several years ago, the exact time
is net at all material, wo received three
different communication from Atlanta,
and every one cf them contained a highly
eulogistic paragraph in reference to a
member who never opened his mouth
during the entire session, as we had.resd
the daily proceedings and had never sent
his name mentioned the first time. With
pure rustic credulity, we gave insertion
to what we thought the beat one in the
lot in onr paper, not. dreaming or enter
taining the remotest idea that our “yours
fraternally” was smoking ten oent cigars
and drinking twenty-five cent “Hot

This sharp practice should be squelch

Phonograph Items.—-The Bispctfh ot
Wednesday contains a call for a conven
tion of independents to convene in this

in the world of this movement, though
we keep fairly posted abont things gen
erally. We cannot see the neoessity for
snch a convention. It will be some time
beforo anybody is to be elected to fill tray
important offioe in this State. Next year
will be time enough to organize for the
oampaign.
It is thought that the Legislature will
repeal the lawgiving juries the right to
recommend all persons found guilty of
murder to the morcy of the oourt. The
law as it stands on the statute book prac
tically does away with capital punishment
in Georgia. Capital punishment has
been in- vogue since the world’s earliest
history, and for the protection of the
lives cf the people cannot be dispensed
with. Gentlemen of the Legislature, re
peal it.

It is so dry in some parts of the State

A Wail from the Q pitman Reporter—
The sky beginB to look brassy, the plant
ers have held out wellin not complaining
but now they have given up and admit
that not more than half a crop of corn
can possibly be made. The cotton, as a
general thing was never known in this
section to be so small beforo at this time
of ths year, and now looks as if it will
take from 15 to 20 acres to make a bale.
Gloom and despair is depicted in the faoe
of every farmer that you meet. No rain,
no rain, is the cry.
From the same: The general conclu
sion iB that the cropB of all kinds will bs
short, the seasons are so unfavorable.
Wbat little cotton is made will bring a
good price.
We heartily endorse the following from
the Albany Advertiser:
The present session of the Georgia
Legislature haa mads a good beginning,
and there seems to be a general disposi
tion on the part of the members, we are
glad to say, to transact business. The
deliberations of the body, bo far, have
been characterized by an earnestness that
has kept down all buncombe speeches
and such narrow-minded snarling as tends
to interrupt sensible legislation.
Personal.—The AlDany Advertiser
says: Mr. George B. Turpin, one of the
solid citizsEB of Macon, and a man of
mach cleverness and boundless populari
ty, 'spent a day in town thia week.
Scranze to say, Georgs retired at eleven
o’clock, and s»y» that it ia his habit

belief that such a violent departure from
an old custom is bound to result serious
ly to Georgs’s health, and the boys will
please keep ua advised as to how n’a go

Another Personal.—The Darien Ga

erstwhile friend in old Liberty county,
‘Hon. W. B, Fleming.
“In writing of thase who deserve well

Report of the Joint Committee oh
the Signing of the Northeastern
Railroad Bonds.
To the Senate and Souse of Representa
tives :
_On the 7ch day of November, 1878,
His Excellency, the Governor of Georgia,
laid before the General Assembly of the
State a'special message, asking of the
Assembly a thorough investigation of his
motives and conduot as the Executive of
Georgia in planing the State’s endorse
ment npon tho bonds of the Northeastern
Railroad Company.
In response thereto ths General Assem-
bly raised a joint committee of thirteen
to make the investigation demanded,
with instrnctions to “report not only the
conclusions at whioh it shall have arrived,
but also the evidence on which ths con
victions are based.”
The committee having thoroughly in
vestigated the whole matter bag leave,
in obedienoe to instructions, to submit
tho accompanying evidence, and to re
port the following conclusions:
In reference to the evidence submitted
the committee Btate that, as printed, it
is nearly correctly reported as possible
under the circumstances which were ren
dered embarrassing by the severe and
continued illness of the reporter first em
ployed, and rendered more embarrassing
by the fact that the reporter used a
short-hand system not familiar to any
other reporter whom the oommittee could
procure. But the oommittee state that
to their knowledge no substantial state
ment has been omitted from the report
of said evidence.
In ord.ir to arrive at the issue involv
ed, the Governor was requested to specify
the charges made against him, in connec
tion with tho indorsement of Northeas
tern Railroad bonds (which charges in
duced the sending of his special message
to the Genera] Assembly.) To this re
quest of the committee he replied as fol
lows: 'The nature ot the charge is
that I participated in a fee which was
received by Mr. John W. Murphy, who, *
it is said, we employed lo procure the
indorsement of the bonds. The nature
of the charge coupled me with the fee
that John W. Murphey. received, and
that it was the motive whioh controlled
me in my endorsement of the bonds.”
Yonr committee, tion the want of any
evldenoe sustaining such charges, end
from the mass of evidenoe disproving
such charges, report this conclusion:
That His Exoellenoy deserves at the
hands of the General Assembly complete
vindication on the issues made by him
and spaoiflsd above. c
Your oommittee have unanimously con
cluded that His Excellency did not in any
way, shape or form, participate In the fee
received by Mr. John W. Morphy, that
no offer of any such thing was.made by
any one to Hia EtoeUency, and that said
fee did not control his conduct in said
indorsement, and whether the sot of in
dorsement was legal or illegtd, tbe motive
of the Gaveraor were pure. Ia dosing
the report the oommitieo submit this
resolution:
Resolved, That the oonolnsions of this
committeo be adopted, as the sense Ot
the General Assembly of the State of
Georgia.
J. W. Preston, Chairman of tbe Senate
Oommittee; H. It. Casey, John F. Trout
man, Samuel Hawkins, Isaaa P. Tyson,
Committer.
Albert H. Cox. Chairman; W,' J.
Northern, Wm.. H. Hammond, R. C.
Humber, H. G. Wright, Johu I. Hall,
Alien Fott, Arthur H. Gray, House Com
mittee.
Ths above ought to satisfy every pa
triotic Georgian.
Badly Mixed.—Griffin News: It has
oome to light through ths Rome papers
that Dr. Felton or his friends actually
precured deputy-marshals and had them
the polls in Rome on the day of the
Congressional election to proteot his in
terest by intim'ditiog honest voters.
This, no doubt, accounts for some of the
Doctor’s votes in the extra session of
Congress which has jast adjourned. It
very hard for a man to run with the
hare and the houuds without getting
‘mixed.’'
