The Gael's Oumml—That cable tele graph companies have their charges high and need the threatened competition of th3 new Frenoh line is obvious by the profits now made, Daring the first half of 1870 the in come cf tbs dxeot cable across the Atlantic was $133.53), the working .expenses $102,- 615, and the net profits $335,915. Thera were $44,725 expended for repairs daring the half year, and dividend* paid amounting to $151,775, the remainder of the net profits being added to the reserve fand, which now amounts to $530,003, and is an accumulation to be devoted to baying a new cable or re pairing th3 old one, should any accident be fall lb Novel Triatmext op Choup.—lccording to Lee Hooded, Dr. Durodie has successfully treated a case of croup, ia a child seven years old, by scraping the larynx. The method is to introduce rapidly the left index finger into the pharynx, eo as more surely to reach to upper laryngeal opening; then, with the right hand, a piece of curved whalebcns la introduced, having a small piece of sponge fixed st the end, soaked in tepid water. After three or four movements up and down, the instrument was quickly withdrawn, this being done three different times at each eeince. The sponge was covered each time with debris of false membranes. The in strument has a refiex as well as a mechanical action, causing spasmodic movements, which provokes the ejection of the false mem branes. The child rspldiy recovered. Lax?

His lamp, a glass one, was sitting within a few inches Of the plug, and as he turned to get a match to light it, there came a brilliant flash of lightning, a flame burst all over the injsltU' ment, and the lamp was lighted in an in stant The occurrence was witnessed by two other persons, besides the operator himself. The lamp was not injured in the slightest degree. Had it not been entirely of glass, a non-conductor, the result would doubt less have been different, ae the operator wonld have had occasion to know. Cosnsra Eltctioss.—The elections to be held during the preeont year areas follows; In California, September 3, for State and judicial offioers, four Congressmen, and members of the Legislature; in Maine, Sep tember 8, for State officers and members o the Legislature; in Iowa and Ohio, October 14, for State officers and members of the Legislature; in Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, NswTork and Wisconsin, Novem ber 4. for State offioers and members of the Legislature; In Mississippi and New Jersey, November 4. for members of the Legisla ture; in Pennsylvania, November 4, for State treasurer and members of the Legislature, and in Louisiana, December 2, for the adop tion or rejection of the proposed constitu tion. A member of Congress, to Ilia va cancy, will also be elected in Iowa October 14.; A Novel Fly Tuap.—The Pittsburg Tele graph says: A restaurant keeper in the Alleghany Diamond daring tho past week, liko many others, has been Infested with flies. Patent gum paper, poison, everything known to fly-exterminating soienee has been tried, but still they come. Sunday -last was a good day to experiment. The room, with closed doom and windows, was a perfect buzz of flies. A train of very fine gnnpowd r was laid in narrow strips over tho floor, and the spaces between the etripa were carefaUy printed with molasses. In an incredible short time all the flies in the room seemed to be on the floor, enjoying the luxurious repast so temptingly set before them. It was but the work of an instant; a flash, a cloul of smoke, the work was done, and the result, \then cirsfally weighed, was two pounds three ouuoes of fly carcass. The proprietor of the restaurant is happy, and is abont to apply for a patent on the now pro cess. The Cosd.vion cf Memphis.—The Nasi* ville American of Tueeday remarks that tho difference in time between the beginning of yellow fever at Mcmphla in 1873 and in 1879 was not so great as many are led to believe, from the official reports. Laat year the flratthe people heard cf yellow fever in Memphis was on the 12th of August. This year the first case was announced on tne 10th of July. In 1877 the yellow fever really began In July, abont the 20!b, and spread at first slowly, cacti case becoming a new centre of infection. After the|12thof Auguat it spread very rapidly. This year, instead of having to establish itself, there is ever rea eon to believe that, at least until recently, it spread from existing local centres of infec tion, in houses where it occurred last year. Tbs difference in time, therefore, is very Blight, and the more rapid insteaae eo eaily this year, when the disease la really milder and overy way less viculent, appears to bo fully accounted for by the fact that this year it epread from numerous local oenters alrea dy established, {while lust year it spread gradually, under favorable conditions, from the first case. Only Three. Buffalo Expreta ] W. It- Travers remarked at Baratcgatho other day, “ There are bat three eminent liars, Tom Ochiltree ia one, and Eli Perkins is the other two.” We do not hsppen to know Mr. Ochiltree; but Mr. Perkins can stand in hit plate, too. If necessary. —The Frenoh army exists only on paper; that ia to say, the number of men aotuaUy under the Hag ha* been reduced to tho lowest possible figure, and oompaaies which in time of war were 240 strong eniy mastered fifteen files at a reoent review. Emergent Legislation. What proportion of our Georgia legisla tion do you suppose would be classed un der this head of Emergent Legislation? We mean by the term, legislation evoked by a suppoeed abnormal and exoeptional condition of affairs, and, therefore, more or less in confliot with ordinary rules, principles and proceedings. We should say abont half of her important legisla tion has been of this kind for the last twenty five or thirty years. Indeed, it will puzzle the oontemperary historian to point ont a time which has not been a crisis with cur legislators. They are always in a ciisie, and at last they have made crisis a permanent and fundamental condition, by putting it in the shape of a constitution. Oar s is a constitution made for a crisis to pre vent crises hereafter forever—to tie up the people so that they can’t hurt them selves, however hard they may try. The idea is that when we, the legislators, die, there will be very little sense left, ana therefore let ns put ours, like the Egyp tian mummy, in shape for everlasting PI Bat ifisali a mistake. Suooes3ive gen erations ooma and go, and generally im prove on the methods and facilities for taking care of themselves. They say old fogies with a mnoh stronger voioe than we Bay yonng fool?, and all onr schemes to give an imperishable vitality to onr rem edies for the evils of onr own time and day will be brushed BBlde as antequated cob- webs. Nothing will live in fundamental or statute law wnloh is not baaed on the eternal principles of right, justice and sound usage. _ AT these trwhyJawa u wh^ fl «» t ~7’ r twenty-five or thirty years.—laws to evade or aannl contraotB—laws giving apeoial remedies to favored classes—etay laws and lien laws, and so on, will only figure as monuments of folly and injustice. What ever in onr statutory system Is (in short), the offspring of what is oalled an emer gency—a orists—a sensation orprejudioe, will only flrure in the fnture as a badge of fraud and folly. And yet we go on with this emergent legislation. The railroad bill now before the Legislature beats Dennis Kearney— a bill absolutely striking a deadly blow at the right of property. Within the terms of its charter, every corporation or arti ficial person ha3 all the legal rights of a natural person, and here is a bill to take the management of property out of the hands of its owner, and compel him to do business on bis own cost and responsi bility, and yet entirely outside of his own control o .iteration, and neder the abso lute oci trol of others. If such a law can stan-J, so could a general confiscation. Not a railroad could live, and all property under such a system would be nothing but a peril. One would think Georgia might ha*e learned enough about this emergunt leg islation in her experience under Congres sional reconstruction to sicken of it for ever. Never vote for any of these men who have crisis on tho brain, or who can find excuses and occasions for departing from the sound principles of law and jus tice. Not one of these exceptional stat utes ever was or ever will bs anything else than calamitious and disgraceful. Burying tbe Constitution. The newspapers are printing a letter to Senator Hill from an ardent, bat im patient, Bepublican in Massachusetts, signing himself William Giles Dix. His views on tho political neceseities of the times may bs gathered from tbe follow ing paragraphs.: The main duty of the Bepublican par ly, when the war was over, was, by con stitutional and historical precedents, to destroy the constitution of the United States, whose deadly and exactly logical work the civil war was. It should have been put out of the way of doing any more misohief just as the Aniolee of Con federation were put out of the way when their work, both for good and evil, had been done. For the neglect of its plain duty to de stroy the conBtitntion of the United States, the Bepublican party deserved all ifs reverses. I shall greatly rejeioe if there be truly a reason for fear, and : any hope, that the Republican party, if again in the ascendant, will make a better and more thorough use of its power than it did before—that it will bury the con stitution of the Unit d Stateain the same grave with slavery. That is the proper place for it, and there I hope it will lie. The Bepublican party eo called were unable to “destroy the constitution of the United States” in due form of law. They did all they could in that line, by patting the party "outside of the consti tution" and have kept it there ever since. Bata legal and formal destruction of that instrument will be a work of so much time and trouble, that it will nev er be attempted in that manner, or prob ably even by any direob proposition in so many words. The idea and initiatory tep, however, ars embodied in the third term movement—for every third termer is saying to himself, get Grant in once more, and we understand he goes in to stay. With the army and a solid North at his back, it will be with him and ns to Bay whether there shall be another elec tion, and whether there shall be any more talk abont a onion of Slates and a President. Mr. Dix says in another part of his let ter : I have no right to speak for the Bepublican party, and do not seek to do so. Nevertheless, I shall be glad if the Bepnblican party shall take my gronnd and advocate the confirmation by organic law of the Imperial eovereignty of tbe nation in all departments and to the re motest acre of the national domain. The Bepnblican party is not going to take any such ground, tot this wonld de feat tbe purpose of the leaders, which is to accomplish the object in the only prac ticable way, without alarming the people —putting Grant in and letting him take and occupy the ground, so that the alter native shall be, as it was with Tilden, submission or a fight, which shall figure aa “another rebellion.” Cholera in London.—Two cases of cholera were reported in London, yester day, and there will bs a unanimous de sire, throughout Christendom, that it shall stop at that figure. The cholera in Lon don threatens a world-wide sweep. This dreaded disease has been raging in Per sia for some time, and wa3 reported in Constantinople day before yesterday. It has been rife in Afghanistan, and infect ed the British troopi there, wno carried it to India, where, by Ia9t accounts, it had appeared at several points—most notably at Bombay. After war comeB pestilence by an almost invariable experience. Tho Almighty eeema te say to His creatures who are fighting each other, since yon are impatient of the slow process of ordi nary mortality, and must kill oach other by fire and steel, yon shall be swept off by infectious disease. When did this fall to be the csbi? See Rossis, last year; see the United States after the civil war, and now coma Turkey and In dia, and perhaps if cholera migrates to London, it trill sweep Europe. Belshazzar Reunion. The solo and chorus singers who took part in "Belshazzar” are requested to meet at the residence of Colonel Virgil Powers, on High Btreet, this evening at 8 o elook. AU who took part are re quested to attend. All who bav| bcoks will please bring them. - TnuasDAY, Augnat 12,1879. THE SENATE. The Senate met at 10 o’olock, and was called to order by President Lester, Prayer by Senator Clarke. The roll was called' and a quorum found to ba present. The Journal was read. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. The Senate resumed consideration of the bill to preventflobbymg. Mr. Mc Daniel, who had the floor, continued his arguments in favor of the passage of the bill. Mr. McDaniel briefly reviewed the arguments he had made the day before, and read a deoision of the Supreme Court of the United States, whioh defined lob bying. Mr. Hodges said he was in favor of preventing lobbying if it conld be done. He did not think the bill under consider ation did so. The proposed bill does not oarry out the intent of tbe Constitution: The speaker then argued that the bill was impracticable, and would be void, if passed. Mr. Camming replied to Mr. McDaniel, and argued that the Supreme Court de cision referred to did not defiue lobbying as a crime, but merely referred to some other acts contrary to the publio poli- Mr. Clarke and Sir. Cummiog had en tlrely misrepresented the use he and Mr. McDaniel had made of ths decision of the Sapreme Court: of the Unitod States. It had not been contended that this decision declared lobbying a crime, but that it merely defined lobbying. The Convention declared it a crime. Mr. Cluke then read the desision and oommfPtsd nn ,t4 ..Vadjwn Gojastions were made to the bill. It ia argued that beoause the bill does not do all, what it does do shall not be accepted, which argument cannot be legitimately need on any question. The advantages of this bill were expounded and the ne oess.ty for it portrayed by the speaker. The bill purposes to obey a constitution al mandate and to prevent that whioh has been deolared against the publio polioy. Tho idea of corrupting a legislature has been scoffed at, bnt history shows that legislatures are corruptible, and we can not donbt it, in view of the history of tbe past few years at which Georgians have clushed. Mr. Clements, of the 44Lb, argued that the substitute offered by himself met the ends desired by the convention. The friends of the substitute offered by tbe oommlttee have made labored efforts to show the superiority Jof their measure. That substitute goes too far and eh- oroacheson the|so-calIed right of petition. The anbstitote proceeds on the supposi tion that tbe legislature is venal and cor rupt. Thero is no reason for making a high crime ont of an ast, which, per se, has in it no taint of corruption. On the passage of the substitute offered by Mr. Clemente, the yeas and nays were called. The yeas were 19 and the nays 18. So the substitute was agreed to. The report of tbe committee as amended, was agreed to and the yeas and nays were called on the passage of the bill. The yeas were 22 and the nays 15. The bill failed of a Constitutional majority and wa3 lost. Mr. Clarke offered a resolution to amend the rules of the impeachment trial of Comptroller Goldsmith, so as to re quire the Chief Justice to be sworn before he presides. Mr. Clarke said he offered the amendment at the request of Jadgo Warner. BILLS OK SECOND BEADING. A number of bills were read the second time. House bills were read the first time. BILLS ON THIBD BEADING. The reconsidered bill to amend the sohool law relative to counties which do not pnt schools into operation, was taken up and recommitted to the Committee on Education.

A message from the House of Bspre sentatives was received. To prohibit woiktug females on chain gangs. Passed. Mr. Bowen gave notioe of a motion to reconsider the bill to prevent lobbying. On motion of Mr. Camming, a bill to make tax collectors ex-officio sheriffs, was taken up and referred to tbe Com mittee on Finance. To prevent cruelty to animals. Mr. Camming spoke briefly in favor of tbe bill. He argued that the bill did not un justly interfere with private rights. The bill is reasonable and provides a mild punishment for any violation of its pro visione. Thera ia nothing In the bill that can be considered objectionable. Mr. Camming said he desired to pay a passing tribute to the gentle, lovely wo man who inaugurated this movement in Georgia. He spoke in beautiful and pa thetic language of Mis3 Louise King; of her devoted labors in the cause of the suff ering brute creation, of her sweet life and its noble aims. Said he: "This work fell from her folded hands more than a year ago, and the Legislature should now take it up. The speaker’s tribute to this lamented woman waB beautiful in. deed. The bill pasBedby 23 yeas toS nays. To define the mime of being a trump and prescribe the penalty for the same. The Judiciary recommended the passage of the bill by a substitute amending the p-ssent law against vagrancy. Mr. Bussell, the author of the bill, said ae should contend for the original bilL He regarded the substitute as a mockery. He argued that the bill would operate to suppress one of the crying evils oE the day. He portrayed the charaoler of the average tiamp and the trouble he causes. Oar laws, as they now are, almost pro tect a tramp, They demand yonr charity ov your life. The lightest dnty of the government is to proteot the life, proper ty and peace of the citizen. There can bs no case imagined in whioh this bill wonld work injustice. The bill is aimed at bad men and thieves who tramp round preying on whomsoever they find. Mr. Buesell made a strong and earnest appeal to the Senate, to paes the bill. Mr. Harrison moved that the substi. tnte ba printed and made the speoial or der for 11 o’olock on Thursday. On motion of Mr. Clements of the 44tb, the Smite went into EXECUTIVE SESSION . where it remained half an hour, and re turned to opon session. Nothing defi nite was done in executive session. The Senate stood adjonrned to 10 o’olock. Atlanta, Ga., August 12th, 1879. THE HOUSE met at the regular hour this morning, the Speaker in the chair. Prayer by Rev. J. Jonep, the Chaplain.

Mr. Mynatt opposed the motion. - Mr. Livings'on also thought the bill should be read the third time. Mr. Baoon said that there was no more crime in Georgia than in other States, bnt that there was crime in the State. The qnestion is, "is there evil in ths State the present law does net reach ?” That is the question for eaob legislator to consider. Pending the conclusion of this ques tion the House adjourned.

Mr. Bower spoke in favor of his mo* tion, and briefly gave the reasons why he thought the bill should pase. Mr. Preston spoke in favor of the mo tion to reoonsider, in order that the Sen ate might pass the substitute offered by the committee ins ead of the substitute offered by Mr. Clements of ths 41th. The hour of 11 arrived, and for that hour the Senate had set as a special or der the bill to regulate the sale of Sa preme Court Reports and the salary of the Eeporter. On motion of Mr. Bower, the special order was discharged until the Senate should dispose of the matter under con sideration. A messsage from the Governor, ac companied by » sealed commnuication, was received through Col. I. W. Avery, the Governor’s Private Secretary. The motion to reconsider was agreed to, on a call of-tho yeas and nsy?, the yeas being 22, and the nays 7.

Lundy, Biq., before the Club Aug ast lit, 1879.] (continued ) singer's BILL.—THE U IN ROB BAIL BO AD, Abont fonr and a half miles from Maoon the Forsyth road sweeps «round the southern slope of Singer’s Hill, one of a chain of high knobs and elevated teble lands fanning a little sonth of west and skirting the oak and pine woods and also tbe tertiary geological formation, whioh may almost be dignified with tbe name of mountains. The original way laid off by the early settlers, diverged from the present ronte near the southeast oorner of lot 339 and passed on the north eide of the bill, the residence now owned by W. J. MoEIroy, being situated Immediately on the pnblio road. In 1828, the Commissioner of roads with the publio hands belonging to the State of Georgia—Ignoring the old buoket handle illustration that a road aionnd a hill instead of over it may not inoreasethe distance and at the same time greatly facilitate travel — ohanged the road so that it passed nearly over the apex of the hill. This change was a very nnfortnnate one for the traveling publio as the long, steep ascent from th6 noithwestern side, was often, in wet seasons, so badly cut np by the wheels of road wagons as to bo almost impassible, and “Singer’s HU1 in Bibb” soon beoame more widely known to the people then inhabiting the coun try, between Macon and where Atlanta now i», than the Stone Mountain in De- Kalb. Macon waa then their eotton market and place cf trait; and this hill wob as dreadful as a "lion in tbe path.” Here they expected to "stall” and of' ten had to "double teams” in order to drag over and through the mad. They generally put on “steam” and prepared tor whipping and whooping by getting a supply of whisky at Singer’s “Grog Shop,” situated a few rods from the place of tedious ascent. Hence they called the Hill “Singer’s Hill,” though the worthy old Dutchman* John Singer, never owned a foot of land on either eide of the hill proper. Many an or, mnle and horse received harsh treatment here, which terminated his life. It was not until 1845 that Old Uncle Tommy Bedding, a much respected and public-spirited planter of MoBroe, pur chased the old Lundy place and removed to Bibb. Knowing from experience the necessi ty of avoiding this terrible hill he gener ously supervised the road bands and changed the. route again to the present road bed, and Singet’s Hill was no longer a terror to the traveler. It may here be remarked that Coleman’s Cut, on the old Monroe railroad, so called from Robert Coleman, father of Sam and Robert Cole man, now enterprising merchants of Macon, is the deepest between Me con and Atlanta, and the embankment at the culvert just above Singer’s Hill is the highest on the sam9 road. The section of the railroad just above Singer’s Hill waB constructed by Story and Prslt—both Northern men. Their grading was done principally by wild Irish, imported for the business. They looated their tents or email board hemes, without fljors, near a spring in the rear of old Singer’s honse, about three hundred yards from the hill. They were good workers, but A terrltly wild set. With theai was imported tbe word "shan ty” as applied to the temporary buildings erected for railroad band?, the name, from common usage, boing now indiscrim inately applied to any cheap house. The work on the Coleman Cut was done by negroes. In “blocking off” several hands were killed, Seon after the Irish began work, and while raising the heavy embankment at the culvert a very unfor tunate circumstance took place, which re sulted in the murder of a worthy citizen of Coweta county Earned Huckaby. A 7- > aatoad thjy&arter of the city Atlanta, August 13:b, 1879. THE HOUSE met this morning at the hour of nine, and was called to order by the Speaker, Prayer by the regular Chaplain. The Journal waB read and affirmed. Mr. Phillips, of Cobb, moved to recon sider se much of the Journal aa related to tho passage of a bill prohibiting the hiring of minors without the consent of parents or guardians. Prevailed. The name of Mr. Harps, of Chatta- hooehee, at his request, waa placed on the majority report ot the special oommittee of thirteen to investigate the condnotand office of the Comptroller-General, as he was absent when the oommittee made its report. Mr. Colley, of Wilke?, moved to ans- pend the rulee and taxe np the providing for the sale of railroads for taxes, and re- c immit the earns to the Committee on Railroads. Agreed to. Under a suspension of the roles Mr. Fart, of Samter, moved to take up and read the Senate bill providing for the sale or lease of the Macon and Brunswiok Railroad. President Hardeman stated that the Bail Roads would not recognize passes to-day, and members who wished to vis it Atlanta would have to do so at their own expense. It was thought none of the members will visit tbe Capital. Mr. Hatober, of Macon oounty, offered a resolution against the aot now pending before the General Assembly to abolish the inspectors of fertilizers. He advo cated the resolution in a very able speech. He argned that wbile the planter was now getting the very highest grades of guano, by abolishing the inspectors, the planter would get a very inferior article. He also argued that the planters paid three-quarters ot the taxes of Georgia, and wero entitled to this protection. After some very able speeches by Messrs. Doyle, of Clayton, Grier, of Jones, Park, of Bibb, and others, the resolution was consigned to a committee, who were on dered to report at 3 p. m. Dr. Guetavus J. Orr delivered a very able address upon the oommon sohool system of Georgia. Dr. Orr spoke abont an honr. He contended that the Moffett Bell Panch wonld be a benefit both to the people and also to the dealer. To the farmer, because it would pay into the treasury $450,000 for the common schools, and to the latter because it would make his business a cash business, and thereby defend him from loss and the poor ae- ohanio and artisan from getting liquors on credit, and preserve their wives and children from suffering from the hus band's and father’s dieaipatlon. After the address Professor Willet, of Mercer University, delivered an address upon the cotton caterpillar, exhibiting specimens of tho caterpillar in their several stages to the convention. Professor Willet’a address was learned and showed much careful, intelligent and scientific research into the subject. An invitation was tendered the society to hold its next session at Cuthbert. The invitation was accepted by a rising vote. The convention Ihen adjonrned for dinner. In the afternoon the eleation of offioers took plaoe, and Colonel Thomna Harde man waa re-eleoted President of the Soci ety unanimously by aoolamation. This great testimonial to his fidelity to its in terests shows the esteem In whioh he ia held by the agrionltural fraternity. The town of Jonesboro ia very crowded, the hotels and private bosses being Ailed to their almost capacity. The people, how ever, are doing their beat, end tbe hospit able refutation of the place is being fully number of cotton wagons were passing on to Macon. A large and powerful Irishman, named Com Hcgas, atoed on the embankment as cart-dumper—sev eral young fellows, going along rather aa supernumeraries than drivers, and ripe for fan, went up to Bee the work going on—it was a new thing. While there they passed around a bottle of foul whisky, laughed and retreated, It was the signal fora row. Tha Irish, about forty in number, each provided with a “ahilalah,” (large green hickory stick*,) pursued and overtook the wagons near the old MoDonald gate, (now Ayres’.) The real offenders Baved themselves by flight. Huckaby. a clever gentleman, consoioua of no offense, and consequently apprehensive of no danger, was over taken and beaten to death in the road. He raised the cry of mnrder in vain. This occurred roon after dark. Next day a large posse comitatus, com posed in part of the Bibb oavalry, came out from Macon with the sheriff. Num erous arrests were made, but fer lack of evidence to identify the murderers there were no convictions. Huckaby wob intered by the roadside, and his f rieude pat around his grave a neat enclosure, but now nothing remaixa to mark the spot. There iB now no trace of the double log dwelling with its big dmtoh stone chimney, which fifty years ago, was occu pied by the worthy and industrious old emigrant from “faderiand,” John Singer. Hm “grogshop,” as ha oalled it, in the rear of which, within the interval* sf serving customers with whisky at “tkrip a drink, seven pence per half a pint,” he kept pegging away, for he was a shoe maker, ia gone also. He was mush re- spected, for none of the crooked ways of the proprietors of the modern “dead fall” was ever imputed to him, and ssvatal at his descendants are now thrifty and highly respected citizens of Soathwset Georgia. With strong contnso* mom he had a spioo of good humor. Kia stars was Ferry—then at the Cress Eoade, new Ellia W. Howard, and then cn the rail road—reformed and joined the temper ance society. Meeting old man Carr one day, he rallied him about whisky drink ing and getting his -high broken thereby. "Howard,” aayB he', “you have been drinking and selling whisky all your life, and now you don't want other people to have the same privilege.” "Ah! uncle Joe, I have seen the folly ef it," said Howard. "I want to see the folly ot it too.” “Well, I think you ought to see the folly of it, for it has made yon a orip- ple for life.” That was pretty tough. He reflected a moment and rejoined, “Well, I be d—d if I navn’t got one oonsolation, I'm the first Carr that ever run off ot that railroad.” There was another oharacter among tbe pioneers that I oannot pass without mentioning. His name was Brown. Ha waa what Diokene would call a “remark able man, a very remarkable man, eir.” Martin X Brown was noted, among other thing?, for his size—be stood six feet four Inches nigh and weighed two hundred and forty pounds. At one time he was magistrate of the distriot. It is authoritatively stated of Mm that in five mouths he bad forty-nine fights, and the figures used In making the oounc are Arabic rot rhetorical. Whether or not these renoontres were had in tbe discharge ot his effiial duties as Justice cf tbe Pesos, or.'Wbether or not this waa his way of keeping the “peace,” I am not ad vised. He removed to Thomas county, where he was prospering when last heard from. Several years ago, while passing through Maoon, he met with some of the citizens of the ’‘old 433 J,” «nd told them himstrlf of the many "battles” ia which he was engaged while a resident of the district. AN INCIDENT OF THE WAB During the war there was a stockade at Macon where the Federal prisoners were canfiued. Frequently a prisoner escaped, and endeavored by following close to the railroad to reach the army, then operating above Atlanta. At that time Jim Land, as he was usually called, livedin an old house near theM.&W.B.S, about fire miles from Macon. The situation was very secluded and there was a large body of dense for est growth adjacent. Jim was a very Doorman, rented his home—his chief property consiating of eight children and a like number of doge. His children ranged like atair-Bteps from about twelve year old size down. His main dog,. “Boston,” was a large black one— a cross of the Newfoundland and MaBtiff. Then there were dogs of various colors and intermediate sizes, descending in the scale to a diminutive fice, weighing abmt four pounds, and appropriately named "Chigger.” Jim was a dark-skinned, thinvisagfd man, and was exempt from military service on account of phyaical disability. With his dogs and his old single barrel shot-gun he was a mighty hunter in the land. Some time in the year 1864, an escap ed prisoner, an officer ia the United States army, paesing through the woods near Jim’s house, threw an iron rod at an old hen, thinking, perhaps, to secure and make a meal of her. Some of the chiidron saw him and ran to the house to tell "Pap” while the gentleman in bine hastily retreated in another direction. It was not long before Jim wae on hand with his dogs and gun, made pur suit and captured the Yankee, who seem ed to be quite an intelligent man, and considerable of a tactician. Jim said “he made a beautiful race un til he looked back and seed me and old Boston a coming, then betook a tree quioker.” "Come along down,” says Jim, 'Tin going to carry you back to Major Rylander.” Ha obeyed, but en deavored to dissuade his captor from his purpose in many ways. "Yon have no land—no niggers. What do yon oare abont the Wdr? You’ve got nothing at stake.” "Don’t oare,” Bays Jim, “there is toy home and there is my folks. I aint able to go to the war, and I’m glad to do something to help the cause.” • “Look here,” says the Yank, "I have a fine gold watoh. Take it and tarn me loose, nobody will ever know it.” “I’m mighty poor, bnt yon and yonr crowd aint got money enough to bay me, I shall carry yon back to the stockade,~ waB Land’s reply. And he did take him back, and didn’t steal his watoh either. When the officer got ineide the prison en olosure, he said he hated mightily the Idea of being confined again, but the thing he hated moat of ail was being captured and bronght back by "a d—n free nigger,” referring to Land’s dark skin. Jim responded with a parting maledlo- tion, aDd told him if he ever oameout bis way again he'd make "Old Boston tear him np.” [to be continued.) Good for the cotton Crop. The hazy ekies and remarkably cool spell of weather which baa been ex perienced for the past week after such fioodsof rain, eeem3 to have been a special interposition ot Providence in behalf of the planter, r The saturated earth has had time to dry off gradually, without being subject ed to the usual fierce suns of August, aad it ia reasonable to suppose that the cotton weed continues to hold on etnrdily to its early frnit, while at the same time patting forth all of its powers to make more fibre, leaf and blossoms. Hot weather and vertical euns in lien of the breezy autumnal days that have Buper- vened, wonld have carried blight and destruction to the growing crop. As matters stand the tnrnip patches are luxuriant, the natural grasses prom- negro. Next morning a neighbor cams along and inquired into the matter, ask ing who was the guilty party. Singer told him. “Impossible,” says tbe nsigk- bor, “he is in thechurob.” "By tarn,** says Singer, "me viah he stay is his church and keep out of min* grog-shop.'’ On one occasion Singer joined a party of friends and neighbors engaged in the pleasant reoreation of partridge shoot ing. Hubbell from Maoon—the "orask shot” of th6 day—tbe Dr. Carver of tho period, was along with his splendid doab le barrel gun and his ribbed-nosed "lva hundred dollar pointer dog.' While in- the woods a squirrel came running by end started up a tree, the dog sprang forward after it. Singer fir ed and killed both dog and squirrel. Hubbell was frantic and was with diffi culty restrained from killing the slayer cf his dog, though it was, ot coarse, an accident. Hubbell had the dog buried, and the grave marked with a light wood post, on which was carved the dog’s name, and which remained many years. Sieger Bold ont to old Joe Carr and re moved to Stewart oounty, just before the work ot grading the old Monroe railroad was begun. He was likewise a oharacter, the impersonation of oddities—an hon est man of the olden time—his greatest fault was his love of whisky. He didn’t believe in shouting, or in great religiose excitement, and Baid ho ence read books on religion, and heard preachers preaok of hell-fire and damnation until his hair ris on his head, and he was afraid te think his own thoughts, or speak his own words. He then read Tom Paine and other books of like oharacter, until he didn’t care a continental for anything, and then said he, “I split the differenoe and; that’s my religion.” There ia an other too good to be lost. I think it was at the time of the exciting election for members of the Lsgislature—James La mar and S. B. Hunter being opposing candidates. Old - uncle Joe’s path to Howard's .preoinot crossed the Monroe railroad, then just graded, Bear the voting place—wbiiky was as bee as water—the old man get drank and on hia return home, fell ef ise an abundant yield of excellent hay if broken open and robbedTona^night ky"» oufc * U8b whea the blooin a PPears, pe&3 never looked more promising, and half dead tomato and hsan vines, cabbagea and other gar dm track have put forth again, and will oontinne to add to the comforts of the domestic board. All this has been accomplished by the timely rains and favorable seasons of the past fortnight. Let ns take heart then, and renew the snuggle fer bread and independence an other year. The battle is not yet lost. A profusion of sweet potatoes will bs harvested, sugar oano and rice have am ple time to recover from the effacts of tbe drought, and though the yield of oorn will fall far short of an* average, yet with plentiful fall and spring sowings of fiats, rye, barley and wheat, the deficien cy in bread stuffs can be more than made up. It is a noteworthy faot also, that very large stores of oorn are still nnconsumed in almost every section of the State, and sad to relate planters are selling it. This is short sighted policy. Let them hold cn to every grain and replenish thtic pile instead of diminishing it by every possible expedient. An intelligent and shifty farmer need never bny a bushel of corn, even if bis crop i3 cat off by summer droughts- Peas, millet, erab grass, potato slips, rye, oats, barley, heat and turnips can be made to more than eke ont the partial loss of this im portant cereal. The writer has demon strated time and again the feasibility of what he now urges upon the farmers Of Georgia with so much pertinacity. We tell, yon, “men and brethren,” that to thrive, yon mutt produoe at home every thing needed to support the wants of man and beast. Otherwise, agriculture is a failure and a farce.

The Graphic eaye, speaking to the constitutional question involved f The Beoond section of the third arUeU of the constitution of the United ££ provides, among other thing?, that th. judioial power ahall extend * * a t® controversies between two or O0 „ SUtee; between a' State and oitzms of another State; between oit'zjna of dif. ferent States; between citizens of ti« same Btale oUimiog lands under graato of different States, and between a Vat? or the oitizena there and foreign citizens or subject?.’’ The eleventh amendment to the constitution is in th.w rr°n 9 i of ', The . i“ aio,al Power of the United States shall not be omatruedta extend to any snit in law or equity com. meuoed or proseouted against one of th?

The only effeot of the amendment is to prevent a defendant State from being sued by citizens of an- other State, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign nation. A State is still liable to be sued by a State. The juffi. cial power still extends to controversies between two or more StateB. Under these views the Graphic suggests that the wisest thing for the defaulting States to do now ia to anticipate tho ac tion of their creditors—settle up with them and keep their cases ont of the Court?. Collector Andrew Clark. The following communication and ex tract from the Atlanta Dispatch has been handed ns for publication. Mr. Clark has ever borne a good character as aa honest man and faithful government of ficial; Editors lelegraph and Messenger. In pol itics Mr. Clark is regarded as a Republi can of the stalwart type, bnt one who, to an unusual extent, enjoys tho confidence and esteem of leading men in the Demo cratic party. Fair dealing, honesty and integrity of purpose are prominent char acteristics in his private and official life, and consequently he enjoys an enviable reputation bath as officer and citizen. He has always taken an active part in political campaigns, and is a recognized leader of the Republicans m Georgia, He possesses extraordinary energy and is. aehrewd tactician, which, coupled with flue administrative ability, sound discretion and keen diecermenc in the selection of co-workere, makes him alto gether a man of great influence wheiever he is known. We would rejoice to have Mr. Clark beoome a convert to Democ racy and constitutional government, so that his at present misdirected talents wonld be a power exortedfor good to our people and country at large. Testimonial cf Faithfulness.—Col lector Andrew Clark has received from the Treasury Department a apeoial re ward of merit, beautifully engraved ou parchment, which seta forth that from "an official examination of tbe records and acoouuta of his offioa it is found that he haB faithfully accounted for all pnblio moneys collected by him, and has otherwise discharged tbe duties apper taining to hia office In such a meaner as to merit the commendation o! h:s supe riors; and the Honorable ComEnissiontr of Internal Revenue tenders the Collec tor his thanks for this faithful discharge of a high public trust." It affords us pleasure to add to the above our own opinion that Collector Clark fully.deservea the confidence of his superiors, as it ia universally conceded by those who know him that he is a faithful and effioient officer. Charleston News and Uourer.) As far back as 1877 a bridge on the Char lotte, Colombia and Augusta Railroad was carried away by a freshet, and wi'h it a train full of passengers, a number or whom wen injured and narrowly escaped with their lives. One of these injured men ^brought suit against the Road for the damage which be sustained to his person, and iu course of time secured the verdict of a jury for ten thousand dollars. A motion for a new trial was made on the ground of excess .vo dam ages and theverdiot tekig contrary to tho evidence. The motion was overruled, and on appeal to the Supreme Court it derided that it had no right to interfere. Onr limp ing plaintiff now naturally felt eecnie of so much of hia ten thousand dollars as should ba left after the teas ot liio eour.gel had b;ea subtracted therefrom, and ths counsel was doubtless luxuriating in the prospect of re ceiving those fees and good round cc-ls o.
