Prayer was offered by Bev. J, Jones,

The journal wa3 read and approved.
Mr. Hollis, of Marion, after notice giv
en, moved to reconsider eo much of the
journal as relates to the action of the
Hones in adopting the report of the com
mittee on theinveeiigation of the motives
and conduct of the Governor in placing
the endorsement of the State on the
bonds of the Northeastern Railroad. Mr.
Holli*’ poeltion was that the report eboul I
be reconsidered because it did not really
expresatbe result of the evidence or the
sinse of the House. Not that he wonld
impugn the personal character of the
Governor, bnt that the speaker believed
that bis excellency’s conduct in making
the said endorsement was ill advised and
improper; that what the people wanted
was the truth, irrespective of parties and
persons, and tnat the vote numerically,
did not comply with the provisions of the
constitution which requires a majority
of the whole House elect to pass upon a
question, and the vo:e was taken by
sound, not count.
Mr. Pnillipe, of Cobb, spoke in favor
of reconsideration at some hn>th and
with a fearless and emphatic manner,
and concluded by offering the following,
which was read for information:
Resolved. That thia house fiod nothing
in tho evidence going to show that the
Governor was guiby of immoral practices
or corrupt motives in putting the en
dorsement of the State on the bonds of
the Northeastern railroad; that he par
ticipated in vo scheme nor entered into
any combination by which he wa3 bene
fited either directly or remotely.
Be it resolved, that it is the sense of
this General Assembly that said endorse
ment was ill-advised ana detrimental to
the best interests of the State; that the
Governor should have remitted the ques
tion to the representatives of the people
and he should have repelled the attempt
of any employe of the Erecntive Depart
ment to procure S3id endorsement.
Resolved, There is in thia State no
precedent for such a practice and cannot
be tolerated by a people jealous of their
rights and liberties.
Mr. Turner, of Coweta, moved to table
the motioa to reconsider.
The yeas and nays were ordered and

Newport Correspondent of the Boston Herald.J
There are many women who go Into
the surf with nothing on bnt a loose
calico dress. The ugly waves, being un
mindful of the con3-qaences, often make
“ehipwreok" of the tender garments,
and a scare follows. A day or two ago a
buxom country laps met with an accident
which she will never forget. The waves
got nnder her dreBa and lifted it and
plastered it over her shoulders and head.
She screamed to the top of her voice, and
it was thought by many, who did not
seo the cause of tbs noieo at the instant,
that some one was drowning. A number
of ladies rushed to her assistance, and
while some surrounded her in order to
hide her from view, others, with no little
difficulty, replaced her garments. Her
fau, however, was over, bat she was hap
py in the thought that no one know her.
she being one of a party of excursionists
who arrived here just for the day from
Providence. Recently a policeman was
called upon to perform a delicate task
for a lady. She was the only lady in the
sarf, and as her frail form emerged from
the water, and as she advanced to the
shore kioking the reoseding waves with
hordillcate feet at every step, her dress
behind was dieoevered to be rent in
twain. It was quite early in the day,
and not a dozen persons were on the
beach. The policeman was equal to tho
emergency, and, placing his fltnnel coat
across her shoulders, he escorted her to
her ka'.hing house.

A Dangerous Sensationalism.
We do not anticipate any destructive ep
idemic this year anywhere in the country.
We are confident, on the contrary, that the
summer will wear away with no damage
or loss at all comparable with that occa
sioned directly and indirectly by the ex
citement, disorders, alarms, and inter-
raptiona of intercouso and traffic
which may be inseparable from prudent
precautions to prevent the dissemination
of disease. These, of necessity, will be
very great; bat they may be needlessly
made worse by exaggeration and sensa
tionalism, both verbal and printed. It ia
of the first importance that pnblio quiet
and composure should be maintained aa
far as possible.
Every intelligent person with expert-
enoa and observation in times of epidem-
ios, will bs ready to oonoede that a large
proportion of the sickness and mortality
ia traceable to the fright and alarm. The
books tell ns bow easily a man oan be
frightened to death bv a disordered im
agination. A crowd fleeing from conta
gion often suffers a greater mortality by
the roadside than those left behind, and
there is absolutely no more efficient dtr-
seminator of an epidemlo disease than a
condition of universal apprehension and
alarm.
We hold, therefore, that it is an im
portant dnty of all who furnish informa
tion at each times to avoid exaggeration
and all attempts to create needless ex
citement. The truth should be told, but
there is no need of dressing it up in any
bnt its native and inseparable horrors.
We shonld state it simply and plainly
without a single trick of the reportorial
art to startle and horrify,and raise or in
crease a panic. The press and all news
papers shonld keep cool and set a good
example to others in the Bame line.
We have a strong conviction on our
minds that this iB not to bs a summer of
extensive and fatal epidemic?, and that
next November the people will find the
column of loss and damage made up
principally of the qnarantines and other
efforts to curb or flee from tbe disease.
Note that the situation is, in one re
spect, precisely reversed from that of
last year. Then the rapid spread and
malignity of the disease was ascribed to
a bnmid atmosphere, while this year it
has been as dry as chaff. While it is
right and prudent to use every sanitary
precaution, we insist that the moral pre-
cautions we have suggested, while they
will cost nothing hut a little aelf-restraint,
are quite as important as any that can be
observed.

Chronicle, or rather its pro tem edi
tor, for the following condtscending re
assurances. It is indeed a sweet boon
for them to know that if they behave
themselves they may escape Stephens’
disapproval and Felton’s displeasure.
We would like to add something on the
point of Felton’s preference for “the
peaceful pursuits of agrioulture” hut
that joke is really too huge to bediecuss-
e J thiB sort of weather:
The regular deoiccracy of Georgia have
nothing to feav from their Independent

they may well dread organized opposi

Dr. Felton had an Independent candi
dacy for the Governorship forced upon
him in each a way as ic wonld be what
he might consider incivhm to decline,
we cannot tell what would happen. We
are satisfied, however, that at present he
has no snch ambition end no auoh desire.
Indeed, some considerable knowledge of
the Doctor’s character assures us that he
would even now prtfer tke poae»ful pur
salts of agrionltare to ths hurly-burly of
public life, and that the burden of a Con
gressional existence is just as much as he
tikes to bear, let alone the corking cares

unable to get bis born cat of the tree,

Exemptions fbcm Jubt Dutt.— 1 The
Coiambus Enquirer has some idea on thia
snbjeot which it presents for gen
eral olranlation and consideration:
We think that the attempt ia being
made to exempt too many men from jury
daty. Firemen,’ to the extent of thirty to
forty active members for each company
should be freed from all duties. If not,
volunleerdepartments must be disbanded.
Their services to the community are
worth every demand they claim. They
work.for the preservation of property, for
pnblio protection, and are ready to ans
wer the call of dnty at any honr. If they
are not relieved of jury dnty of coarse
the companies will disband; and what
oity in Georgia oan afford to have a pay
system, especially those plaoea which
have not water works?
We oan see no dnty whioh military or
ganizations perform whioh shonld exempt
them of any service to the Btate that Is
required of other oitlzsns. They are cot
necessities, as fire departments are.
They are luxuries. Pride will keep their
rankB fall when nothing else will. Wtty,
we have three companies existing now
in Colnmbns. Even on the 26th of April
who has ever known one to number forty
muakett? Members will not oome to
drills. They will not attend . their own
entertainments. At long intervals a
squad of less than twenty, by hard dram
ming, are obtained for parades. What
dnty do onr military perform that forty to
sixty men each shonld ba relieved from
the offices demanded nf ntka? citizens?
Thn nniy’bemfit yet realized has been for
the benefit of merchants who are enabled
to keep their employes in tbeir own eer-
vioe during court wseks. The young
men eay employers will not allow them to
attend the street parades, drills or calls
to military dnty. Then why shonld
members be exempt by law? Has either
of the Colambns companies turned out
thirty men on any oooaaion this year?
One may have done so; tbe other two we
are confident have not bad twenty men
n their ranks.
The drnggiats desire to be exempted.
Why, more than any other merchants we
can’t imagines. Food and clothing are
just as important as medicines, and it is
just as essential that they ehonld be sold.
Humanity is never in more danger when
druggists are on the jary than when they
are not.
We agree in tbe main to theBe sugges
tions, bnt insist that only active firemen,
in the most literal sense of that term,
should be exempted. Owning uniforms
and paying fines for non-attendance at
meeting and alarms, does not constitute
cur idea cf an active fireman.
The Augusta Evening News (Stephens
organ) is rather indignant at Gregg
Wright’s intimation that tie demigod
might bs persuaded to accept t*.e offiee
of Governor. It says “Mr. Stephens
does not desire to be Governor, nor can
his pretended friends force the place
upon him.” “Pretended friends” is pretty
rough on Wright.

Jonxb Countt Crop.j.—A ride yester
day to Kilpatriok’a Spring, some six miles
from the city, on tho other Bids of the
river, revealed fair orops of cotton, gen
erally in good order, though the weed ia
small and blossoming too freely for this
stage of the season.
In July tbe plant shonld be growing
rapidly and only bearing fruit on the mid
dle and lower limbs. If the growth is
checked the frnit making goes on nntil
the top is covered over with blossoms and
balls and the plant, though dwarfed in
size, can do no more.
When this happens, with moderate
seasons, a tolerable yield may be realized 1
But long continued rains will can=e the
stock to sncoor and pnt ont new leaves
from the joints, whiob seem to abstract
the nutriment from the old fruit, pre
venting its maturity and opening. This
always results m great injury to tbe orop.
Perhaps occasional wet spells only may
oanse the cotton to grow off gradually and
enable it to retain L
The oorn orop will be short, though

time ita ravages were muoh more disaa
irons,
Whole fields from a foot to waist high
were completely eaten np, . nothing re
maining but the excrements of the pest
end the debris of the vegetable. Corn
planted very early faired better, bnt the
writer saw thousands of stalks when in
fall roasting ear condition, with round
boles bond in them as with a gimlet.
Many fell from their own weight or were
broken by the wind.
The insect disappeared about the last
of June, and many farmers who owned
strong swamp lands replanted their corn,
some of them as late as July. The wri
ter never finished until the fourth of Jnly,
and still succeeded in raising about ten
1 —-tioU of corn to the acre. We are nn-
‘T,—; , accurately
able to desortbe tne .
after the lapse of so many years, but
think Dr. Janes’ opinion that it resembles
the English wire-worm is probably cor
rect. We have no doubt but that the
father of Professor W. L. Jones, of the
Southern Cultivator, William Jones, Esq.,
who was then also living on the sea
board, can famish valuable information
concerning the appearance and habits of
this unknown but formidable enemy to
onr staple cereal.
The last oircnlar of the Commissioner
of Agriculture, that for June, places the
average of the corn crop in the State at
835, against 96 on the first of Jane,
showing a falling off in one'month of 12 5
per cent. We do not think the yield will
generally exceed a half crop in Georgia.
The prospect for cotton is better,
though there has been a slight decline
aho in the average oondition of the
gtowing staple. The average condition
is pnt down at 92.6, against 93 a month
ago.
Last year on the first of Jnly, as com
pared with the earns date, it was
89.4, or 10 G per o?nt. less promising.
Good seasons may yet give us very
nearly an average cotton crop, and if the
farmers will but plant peas, potato
vines, turnips and millet for the next fif
teen days, and then lay down every inch
of spare ground this fall in s nail grain,
Georgia will be independent of Western
granaries next year, and continue io
prosper. Will onr agriculturists heed
this oft-repeated advice?

THE GENUINE
DR. C.McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Inver.
P AIN in the right side, under tho
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels In general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
tha disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in ~
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are ur.-
equaled.
