A Problem.
The trouble Great Britain is having
with her outlying conquests in Asia and
Africa again suggests the query, how
long the home government will be able
to maintain herself as the controlling
centre of so vast and constantly expand
ing a colonial system. With unlimited
resources in the way of money—the sin
ews of war—she may be able to do it for
an indefinite period; but the expense of
a State of constant warfare is already
weakening her exchequer, and her reve
nues accruing from an active and pros
perous trade are seriously diminishing.
Meanwhile, her acquisitions constantly
increase in the necessity of proteoling
them, one only makes demand for an
other. She has now three vast empires
on ss many continents, each nearly as
large and one larger., than the United
States. In Asia that great range of
Himalaya mountains which bounds In
dia on the north and northeast dictated
for years her career of conquest and ac
quisition; but these were no sooner reach
ed than it beoame necessary to pass
them.
She is now faat overrunning South
Afrioa out or a necessity of keeping
tbess hostile border tribes in subjeotion,
and acquiring a vast and savage country,
an ares as great as India, with little
promise to realize expenses out of the
possession.
British America is a country so vast
and of such immense natural resources,
that it is idle to expect that it can long
be held in colonial subjection, and when
it aspires to self government, there is
great danger of war. Besides these vast
empires, add almost countless islands of
the sea, scattered ali over the face of the
globe, and all nnder the primary control
and government c{ hardly more than
twenty-five millions of people occupying
an area of 120,000 square miles.
Her foreign dependencies to-day may
be roughly assumed to cover an area of
about eight million square mile?, with a
population of at least two hundred
and twenty m<'lions. This is a won
derful speci.ua truly, and although,
in point o( .^iclligence, energy, cour
age and capacity, it is probable no
people are equal to the British, yet
seems cn impossible task long to noid to
gether such an enormous fabric against
all possible sources of danger.
Another Claimant.
We find the following telegram in the
Cornier-Journal, of Wednesday:
iw.imti /x.., o.j.tcuiuer y.—There ib
nk-iiy to be a split in the ranks of those
who are claiming the discovery of antes
theeiafor He. (Jrawford Long. In the
story which gives the credit to Dr. Long
it will be remembered there is a young
fellow named Wilhite, who, in a frolic,
slapped a handkerchief saturated with
ether over the month of a negro boy, who
became unconscious under if, and
though beaten and shaken, failed to
show sny sense of pain. At last the
effects passed off and he became con
scious. A few years afterward Wilhite
went to study medicine nnder Long.
He persuaded the doctor to give'him
ether. The doctor did so and once took
some himself. Being struck with tbe
deep physical numbness that held him
while under its influence, Dr. Crawford
Long began to discuss the
possibility cf using it while
with patients nnder the knife. Wilhite at
last related all the experiments made with
the negro boy, and urged Lr. Long to try
an operation with a man under its influ
ence. At longth. Dr. Long consented.
Young Wilhite was equally Interested
with Dr. Long, and assisted in the exper
iment, which was made in taking a tu
mor from one Mr. Knoble. Wilhite ia
now a physician with an immense prac
tice in Anderson, S. C., and a model gen
tleman. He is modest himself, and will
not nrge his claims, but his friends intend
to posh them. They will try to see that
he shares with Dr. Long the honor of the
dlecovery, and if an application is made
by Dr. Long for recognition at the hands
of Congress, they will claim part of that
recognition for Dr. Wilhite. It waB
through Dr. Wilhite’s statements to Dr.
Marion SimB that the discovery was first
credited to Dr. Long. It is possible that
Wilhite will himself stop the proceedings
in his behalf.
It seems to ns rather late in the day
for Dr. Wllhite’d friends to com9into
court with their case. Wby didn’t they
let themselves be heard when Georgia
was reoogmxing Dr. Long’s claim in the
moat emphatically earnest and official
manner P Then was their time to speak.
Foreign Ihhigratiox South.-It is
etsted that the ninety-four English agri
cultural emigrants who landed in New
York by the steamship Helvetia thte
week, and were transferred to the steam
ship State of Texas, for Galveston, wil
make up the full number of 8,000 of the
same sort, who have baen transferred
from the agricultural regions of England
to Texas, within less than two years.
The conversations with these immigrants,
reported in the New York papers, go to
show that this is only the beginning of a
heavy movement. Most of these 94
emigrants were from Yorkshire, and bud
been former tenants, and possessed con
siderable capital. They were moving
out under the superintendence of a Mr.
Elder, an English farmer, already set
tled in Texas, and of Dr. Kingsbury, the
Liverpool agent of a Texas railroad.
Most of them had already bought lands
in Texas, having pooled their funds for
the purchase of a large tract.
Tilden in the West.—Mr. Tildon is
strong w:i h vhe people everywhere. Mr.
Jacob Williams, ex-editor, of tho Council
Bluffs Qlois, was in Omaha a day or two
ago, and he said Iowa was strong for
Tilden. So it is in other States. We
shall not speak or our State whioh led
tho column fer Tilden so handsomely in
1876. If the editor of the Herald were
for somebody besides Mr. Tilden

opinion that Nebraska wonld be substan
tially unanimous for the distinguished
statesman who led us to victory through
the terrible campaign of that year.—

IMPEACHMENT NO. 2.
Tbe Majority Report In tbe Ben-
Iroe Due,
From the Atlanta Constitution, j
The committee to examine Into the of
fice of the State Treasury, made the fol
lowing reports this morning:
MAJORITY REPORT.
Mr. Speaker: The special committee of
nine, appointed under a resolution of the
Honse, with instructions “to investigate
thoroughly and completely the affaire and
operations cf the Treasury Department
of the State,” beg leave to report:
That they have proceeded to the per
formance of the duties assigned them,
and have instituted a thorough examina
tion into the operations of the Treasury
Department. This examination they are
still prosecuting, bat have not yet com
pleted, and they beg leave to submit at
a later period their report upon the gen
eral workings and condition of the Treas
ury.
The committee have foand at the very
threshold of their investigations such
conclusive evidence of malfeasance in
office by J. W. Beaf roe, Treasurer of the
State, that they feel it their imperative
duty to lay the same before tbe House,
without delay, in this special report.
The testimony taken by the oommittea
discloses the following faotE: In January,
1876, J. W. Bsnfroe was elected by the
General Assembly of this Stats to fill the
nnexpired term of John Jones, who had
been removed.
In January, 1877, be was re-elected
Treasurer by the Gen ral Aseembly for
the fall term of four years. Among the
sureties who signed hie official bond as
Treasnrer la 187C, wetsV. B. Tommey,
B. J. Wilson.. 3. B. Hoyt, B. H. Bich-
ards and J. W. Murphy. These
same gentlemen, with tbe excep
tion of S. B. Hoyt and B. H. Richards,
again signed the Treasurer’s bond
after his re-election in 1877. Under the
terms of the act of 1876, allowing the
sureties on tho Treasurer’s bond to limit
their liability, V. B. Tommey bound
himself on the bond of 1876 for $30,000,
B. J. Wilson for {30,000, B. B. Hoyt for
930,000, B. H. Bicbards tor $30,000, and
J. W. Murphy for {5,000. On the bond
of 1877, V. B. Tommey bonnd himself
tor {60,000, B. J. Wilson for {10,000, and
J. W. Murphy for {30,000.
At the date of the execution of the
bond of 1876, Mr. Tommey was pre3l
dent and B, J. Wilson a direotor of the
Georgia Banking and Trust Company, of
Atlanta, both also being large stockhold
ers therein. Mr. Hoyt was president
and Mr. Richards was cashier cf the At
lanta Savings Bank, and together they
owned about one-half of the entire capi
tal stock thereof. These four sureties
signed the bond of 1876. npon the condi
tion, assented to by tbe Treasnrer, that
they or certain of them should select par
ticular banks in which the Treasurer
should deposit the pnblio money, or at
least a large portion thereor. In pursu
ance of this agreement, the
Georgia Banking and Trust Com
pany, in which the Treasurer was
already depositing, and the Atlanta Sav
ings Bank were selected by them, and
the Treasnrer proceeded to deposit
therein large amounts of the State funds.
For the use of these State deposits, the
Georgia Banking and Trust Company
paid on the average monthly balances a
commission or interest of five per cent,
per annum, the payments being made
monthly to Mr. B. J. Wilson, who paid
over to the Treasurer two per cent, there
of, and divided the remainder equally be
tween himself and V. B. Tommey. Tbis
continued until the early part Ot 1877,
when Mr.. Wilson withdrew from the ar
rangement, after which, said bank paid
Mr. Tommey for the year 1877 the fixed
sum of $1,500 for tho use of the State’s
deposits, and for the year 1878, the same
percentage thereon ae for 1876, these
payments being made to Mr.Tommey, who
paid over to the Treasnrer one-third of
the entire amount, except the last pay
mont for 1878, of which the Treasnrer re
ceived no part.
For a like use of the pnblic fands_.de.
posited' therein, the Atlanta Havings
Bank-, daring tbe year 1876, paid to B.
J. Wilson two per cent, per annum on
the average monthly balances as commis
sion or interest thereon, and this entire
amount eo reoeived by Mr. Wilson, was
by bim paid to tbe Treasurer. This con
tinued until the early part of 1877,
when Mr. Wilson withdraw from the ar
rangement, and a new agreement was
made by the bank with Mr. J. W. Mur
phy. Aa has been Btated, Mr. Murphy
signed the Treasurer's bond in 1876,
binding hiniBelf for $5,000, and again in
1877, binding himself for {30,000.
In February, 1876, he was appointed
by tbe Treasurer, Clerk in the Treasury,
and that position he has held from that
date continuously up to the present time.
In the aerly part of 1877, Mr. Marpby
applied to the Treasurer to be allowed to
make with certain banks in Atlanta an
arrangement similar to that made by
tbe other sureties with the bank already
named.
To this the Treasurer assented, and
with his permission Mr. Murphy con
traded with tbe Citizens’ Bank, tho
Bank of the State of Georgia and tho
Atlanta Savings Bank, that they should
pay him (Murphy) five per cent, per an
num on the average monthly balances of
the pnblio deposits—Mr. Murphy agree
ing on bis part that the Treasurer should
deposit large Bums of the public money
in eat.: banka. These payments, as com-
oonu i uions or interest for the use of
the State’s fund, were all made to Mr.
Murphy, and one-half of the entire
amount received by bim was paid over
to the Treasnrer. The testimony farther
diecloses that nbout tho first week in No-
vember, 1873, by direction of tho Treas
urer, the payments from all the
banks on this account were discontin
ued. By an examination of the evidence
it will be seen that nnder the arrange
ments above detailed, the fonr banks
named have paid to the treasurer and
three of bis sureties tbo large sum of
{22,193.65 for the nse of pnblic money
deposited with them. Of this amount
the Treasuier received for bis share the
sum of $10,358.81, the remainder having
been received by the three sureties, bb
follows: Mr. Wilson receiving {650 41;
Mr. Tommey receiving $58211, and Mr
Murphy receiving {6.607.32. Of tbo
amount received by the Treasurer, |5,-
058.19 was paid to him prior to Decem-
5,1877, and {5,800,62 was paid subse
quent to that date. This money was re
ceived by the Treasurer for bis individ
ual bra-fit and converted to his own
use with the full knowledge on his part
that it was paid by these banks for the
use cf the funds of the State deposited
with them by bim. The Treasurer,
however, claims that in receiving this
money he has not violated the law or
been unfaithful to his official duty, for
the reason that it was stipnlated and
agreed between himself and his sureties
and to undersiccd by the bank?, that no
particular earns were to be depos ed, no
particular time specified for his deposits
to remain, and the entire amount in each
bank to bo subject; to tho check
at any and all time?. The tes
timony shows this to bare been
the undertaking and ■gre?ment
but the coin mince are of the opinion th-tt
In tbis matter the Treasurer has been
gnilty of a plain, dirtot und palp-ble tio
lation of tbe law end breach of bin > ffi-
cial duty. Prior to tbe adoption of me
present constitution tbe law contri.il:.%
this qnestlon is contained ia the eleventh
paragraph of section 12 of the aot of tbe
General* Assembly, approved February
25, 1875, which is in these words: “The
Treasurer shall co\ under any circum
stances, nss himself, or allow others to
nse, the funds of the State in bis hands,
and for every violation of this seotioa he
is liable to the State for tbe earn of five
hundred dollars es a penalty, or a for
feit ore of hia salary, if such forfeiture will
piy the penalty inonrred.” While,
tneroiure, ii is true that, the stipulations
already recited were made between
thu Treasurer, the sureties and the bonks,
h i were intended to meet the letter of
this la*, yel the contract between the
sut flies and the banks for the payment
to the sureties of interest on tne State
deposits, and the receiving by the Treas
urer of his portion of those payments, is
clearly and unquestionably a violation of
the law la its spirit and snbstance.
Again, more than one-half the entire
amount reoeived by the Treasnrer from
this eonrce was paid to him subsequently
to the 5th day of Deoember, 1877, on
which day the present Constitution was
ratified and adopted by the people, and
beoame the organio law of this State, and
whatever justification or exouse may be
set up by the Treasnrer, under the lan
guage of the statute just cited, he cer-
tainly could not mistake or misoonstrne
the plain, positive and comprehensive
provision of the Constitution upon this
subject. Paragraph five* of section two
of artiole five of that instrument pro
vides that “the Treasurer shall not be
allowed, direotly or indirectly, to receive
any fee, interest or reward from any per
son, bank or corporation for deposit or
nee in any manner of the pnblio funds,
and the General Assembly shall enforce
this provision by suitable penalties.
Again, paragraph 1 of section 9 of arti
cle 7 provides that “The receiving, di
rectly or indirectly, by any officer of tbe
State or connty, or member or officer of
the General Assembly of any interest,
profits or perquisites arising from the
use or loan of pnblio funds in his bands,
or moneys to be raised through his agency
for State or county purposes shall be
deemed a felony and punishable as may
be prescribed by law, a part of which
punishment shall be a disqualification
from holding office.” The mere reading
of these two provisions of ottr supreme
law is sufficient. They need no legisla
tion to make them operative in their pro
hibitory power. The Treasurer has un
questionably done wbat they clearly for
bid, and in thus violating deliberately
the plain and positive prohibition of
tbe Constitution, ho has, in opinion of
the Committee, been guilty of a high
crime and misdemeanor. The testimony
further shows that the Treasurer, for
signing officially the coupons on the
bonds of the Northeastern railroad com
pany, indorsed by the State, charged said
railroad company therefor li per cent,
per coupon, and did, on the second day of
January, 1878, reoeive from officers of .tho
•company $247 in payment of that claim
whioh snm jf money he converted to bis
own nse and benefit. The committee
know of no law which justifies this charge
on the part of the Treasurer, and if there
be law,custom or precedent on wtich the
oharge can be sustained, the constitution
again interposes and prohibits the Treas
urer from receiving this money for his
own use. Such is the plain language of
paragraph seven, eeotion two of article
five, whioh is in the following words:
“The Secretary of State, the Comptroller
General and the Treasurer shall not be
allowed perquisites or compensation other
than their salaries, asjpreficribed by law,
except their necessary expenses when
absent from tbe seat of Government on
business for tbo State.” It is also -pro
vided by seotion eleven of the aot of 1876
that the Treasurer shall reoeive no per
quisite for any official aot, but that the
fees prescribed by law shall be by him
collected and paid into the State Treasu
ry. The committee are therefore of the
opinion that in this transaction also, the
Treaanrer has clearly violated the law and
the plain provision of tho constitution.
Again, it appears from the testimony
that some time in the early part of the
present year, the Treasnrer, while in the
city of Augusta, applied to General E. P.
Alexander, President of the Georgia Bail-
road, for a position nnder said Company,
for one of his, the Treasurer’s, personal
friends, proposing m return therefor to
depoait in the bank of eaid Company large
amounts of tbe public money, the sum to
vary from fifty thousand to'one hundred
thousand dollars. The evidence shows
that the negotiation was for some reason
not consummated, but the Committee
are of the opinion that the Treas
urer, in thus attempting to use
his official power and position for the
benefit and advancement of his personal
friend has been guilty of a gross breaoh
of bis offioial duty and has been untrue
to the high trust renosed in him. Tne.

A Noap nine.
Something new in the mineral way, ac
cording to a corrcepondent of tho Chica
go Inter-Ocean, has been discovered in
Arizona, that is to say, a soap mine,
from which veritable coap, both hard and
soft, is exc'ivatcd. a “soft soap mine'
hsB been a matter of jc-3t for many years,
but here at lost Is the thing itself in sober
earnest. The correspondent writes as
follows:
i have not seen the mine, bnt I have
seen the soap, and have received the
deecription acd history of it from the
Bsv. D. 3. Wright, tho good pastor of
the HethcdUt Church here, who discov
ered and now owns it. H13 discovery of
it was made a iittlo over a year ago, and
it happened in this wsj: He was travel
ing on board a freight train toward Pres
cott, to assume the oharge of tbe church
to which ho had jnst been called, when
be wa3—m the vernaoular of this coun
try—“shipwrecked” about fifty miles
from here.
While waiting for the freight wagons
to be mended he noticed on tbe surfuoe
of the gronnd a cropping of Birange ap-
pearanoe, a little whiter than the oolor of
the ground, dry and crcok'.d, like well
baked bread. Plaoing his foot on it he
found it to be soft and yielding, and,
plunging a slick into it, he drew it out
dripping with an oily substance, looking
exactly Ilka soft soap; touobingit, he
fennd that tt felt tike soft soap; pat ing
it into water, he fonud that it made ends
like soap and cleansed the dirt from hts
hands; end, finally rubbing somo of it on a
white hat, whioh had been spotted with
grease from the freight of bason, he was
astonished to see that the greaso and dirt
spots were removed under its application.
He fonnd a number of these deposits of
soft soap about him, and was not able to
reach the bottom of any of them with a
long pole. Near by are ledges or a hard
substance which is unctuous and soapy to
the tunob. Mr. Wright showed me Borne
of the soft eoap in a bottle and some of
the hard in a piece of brok-oolored ledge
matter. The soap, in both these erode
states, is eo mixed with dust and grit it
is unfit for nse, bnt, by a simple pro
cess, these ara removed, and the sub
stance left possesses all the uses of soap,
with the additional virtne of removing
dirt from elothing and making bard wa
ter soft,
SPEED OF A LOCOMOTIVE
Over a JfUe Per Minute.
To apply a practical test to railway
speed ia this country, the New Tork Fun
recently dispatched a reporter on a pas
senger train of the Pennsylvania Railroad
from West Philadelphia to Jersey city.
The reporter obtained a position uu tho
engine and w&3 provided with a Sals man
stop watoh reoording down to quarter
seconds. The train consisted of engine
274, with driving wheels five feet and
eight inches in diameter and (onr cars
with 163 passengers.
It waa my intention, aays the reporter,
to time the train for a five mile, three
mile and one mile Btretcb, and X aeked
Osmond, the engineer, to indicate the
point where I should begin. A short dis
tance east of Dean’s Station, he turned
and nodded; his head jnst as a mile post
cunejin sight. I took out my watcb,and at
the very instant the post was reached,
started the timepiece. The engine was
running smoothly, but there oould be no
donbtof onr prodigious speed. I saw
as we shot by the next post that we had
made the distance in about a minuto, as
was the case with the succeeding mile;
but the speed rapidly increased, and at
the precise instant the fifth mile post
whisked past my elbow, I stopped tbe
watch. The five miles had been passed
in exactly four minutes and fiEty-five and
a quarter seoonds. Daring those same
five miles. Conductor Silanca stood in
the baggage ’car jotting down the time
for each mile. When we compared notes,
we differed only a quarter of a second,his
time being that much leeB than mine.
Siiance now climbed over npon the en
gine and took his seat behind me, on the
leftside of tbe cab, next the mile posts.
I set my watch, with the second and
quarter seconds pointing to the figure 12,
and held it thus ready for bnsinees. “I
will keep it for three minutes,” said Si-
leuoe, “and you may take the last of the
three.” It will be understood that I
oouldj record only one stretch of road
at a time, as Eagineer Osmond didn't
manifest any disposition to stop the en
gine, after each milA^wwait, while I
got the bands of tho watch in position
again. Siiance sat, stop-watch in hand,
end wrote tho figures with a snap, and
then nudged me to take in the next mile
post. As before, I started the second
and quarter-second hands at the precise
moment the engine bounded past the
milepost. Looking over I noticed that
the driving wheels seemed to be abso
lutely stationary, but the ponderous con
nectiag rode were quivering back and
forth at the rate of more than three
hundred and fifty times a minute
caught sight of the nexomile post swoop
ing down npon ae. When exaotly
abreast I stopped the watch and looked
sre niumil mMM^j
fifty and one-quarter eeoonda. 1*
tfftg' £'Yaef Time" io which the
mile was made. X looked over to Oa
mood to see whether he was scared, bnt
he merely winked his weather eye, as if
to say, “I wonder what Charley Frazer
would think of this.” Conductor Silanoe
now rcaohed the slip of paper over my
shoulder, and handed it to me. This is
his record, as he took it down: First mile,
fifty-four second?; second mile, fifty-two
seconds;'third mile, fifty seconds—mak
ing the three miles in two minutes and
thirty-six second?, which corresponds
preoisoly with the same ran made a year
ago over tho same piece of track, near
the Menlo Park. It will be observed
that, on the last mile, we again differed
by only one-fourth of a second, and X am
sure X gave the real time to tbe mile.
On reaching Jersey City I learned that
one of tho passengers stood at tho rear of
the train, and marked tho same three
miles with a stop watch, marking down
the record, whioh I copied. It adds up
two minutes, forty-six and thirty-fif
teenths seconds, from which it will be
seen that both he and condutor Siiance
nardly varied from me, though tho op
portunity of both for absolute correct
ness did not equal mine. 1 showed my
record to Osmond, who eaid: “Give me
three cars instead of fonr, and I’ll pledge
myself to make that mile in forty-five
seconds.”
Serions Disorder and Prompt
Arrests.
Yesterday afternoon three men from
the country created a considerable amount
of disorder in the lower portion of the
city. They commenced operations on
Fifth street, about half-poet three o’clock.
The police wero notified, bnt before they
arrived the party retreated beyond tbo
Fair grounds, shouting and firing their
pistols. The officers returned to their
beats after arranging for the capture of
tbe party should they venture into the
city again.
About halfjpast four o’clock they came
back and renewed their disorderly aotionB
by firingjinto a bouse in the lower por
tion of the city, shelling it with brickbats,
and nsing profane language on thes treet
The officers made an advance on tbe par
ty and succeeded in oaptnring oue at a
bar room on the lowor part of Cherry
street, another was taken on Third
street while th9 , third, after riding
down Third on horseback with a
drawn pistol in his hand was arrested on
emerging from an alley leading into
Fourth street. All were promptly taken
to the buraoka and looked np. Much
praise Is due the polios foroe, especially
Lieutenant Harly and offioers MoGaffety,
Hendemn, Wrye, and Adair la the
matter.
The parties were nnder the influence
of benzine, and seemed determined to
take the town. The charges as enter d
at the Station House against two of th
party aie drunk and disorderly, c-mying
concealtd weapons and shooting in the
city. Tie other’s was nob so serious. The
cases wll come np in the police oonrt
to-morrsw morning.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Mass hall House, Savannah,
September 12, 1879.
Your correspondent is off again on one
of hts periodical rambles by land and
sea, or, to use the stereotyped phrase,
“by field and flood,” and sends you this
first brief installment of hia adventures.
We traveled by the day train of the
Central Railroad to this point, to make
personal observations of the condition
and proepects of the
COTTON CROP,
whioh just now is more important to
Southern merchants and farmers than
the revolt in Afghanistan, the insane
entente ol the Cuban malcontents, the
continued row in South Africa, the Chili
an contest, the Conkling-Spragne em-
broglio, or the recent elections in Cali
fornia and Maine. If our pockets are only
comfortably supplied with gold, (we
would compromise on greenbacks) it mat
ters not what becomes of John Bali and
the Ameer, how fareB it with the Hotten
tot bnshmen and ironclads of Chili, or
whether Conkling gets the Bound drubbing
he deserves, and Maine and California
go Republican. All these events wonld
be merely sympathetic and trifling when
oompared with the possession of the
ALMIOHTT DOLLAR,
which iB tbe “open sesame!’ to offioe (even
the Presidential chair), arietooratio cir
cles, the smileB of the fair and all the
good things of earth. How valuable,
then, is that so-called “filthy lnore,” and
what a pity that “currenoy” is so
scarce: —
But let ns get back to cotton. We are
no croaker on the snbjeot. While it is
true that disastrous droughts, excessive
rains, and to some slight extent the worm,
have wrought injury to the crops, still,
the prospect, at least in Southern Geor
gia, is better than common report would
indicate. The cool nighta and cloudy
weather in place of doing harm, as ia the
oase in the spring when the plant is
young and tender, have prevented it from
blasting and scalding nnder the influence
of hot suns, while the rains have “check
ed np” and allowed the sodden earth to
dry off gradually. As a consequence we
saw but little
PRONOUNCED RUST
anywhere, and the exuberant growth of
the weed had been succeeded by a yellow
tinge over the fields, and it is blossoming
out to the very top. Tremendous “blows”
of the fleeoy staple also invite the nimble
fingers of the “piokers,” and if we mis
take not, very soon the market receipts
will begin to shoot op and astonish every
body. The writer does not mean, how
ever, to assert that a fall ootton orop
will be realized in Georgia. But he is
oonvinced that if prioes oontinue to rale
at eleven oents per pound, there will be
enough of the staff made to plaoe the
farmers In better kelter than they were
left last year.
Tho oorn la sorry, bat better than we
bad been prepared to eee, and of sugar
cane, potatoes and peas there will be no
lack.
PILLOW VOYAGERS.
There was a very small orowd on board,
but it inoluded several pleasant Macon
commercial travelers, a prominent shoe
merchant, some dear little children and
their mamas, one distinguished ex-Judge,
Baldwin’s famous Senator, who battled
eo nobly for Milledgeville ii the cele
brated capital campaign, ac 1 a sensible
end excellent member of tho Georgia
House of Representatives.
We tackled the latter gentleman at
once, and soon became aufuit as to the
true inwardness of affaira in Atlanta.
He sayB the House is made up of curious
and independent materials. They have
no recognized leaders, but every man
thinks and acts for himself. They are
bent upon “investigation” and will oarry
out the programme at aay.and every cost.
So we m&y look ont for new impeach
ments and additional startling develop
ments.* .

ara set on every side which do not fail to

This i3 just what we predicted years
ago; but the evil is not chargeable to
Atlanta alone, bnt exists in every popu
lous city. Still it ib to be greatly depre
cated. That Goldsmith would be con
victed and turned out of office he thought
a foregone conclusion.
TREASURER RXNFR3B.
The telegraph announoes that this of
ficial also will be tried m the Senatorial
crucible, for bagging that “interest” on
the State’s fande. Ourjadioial friend,
however, does not think be will be found
guilty, beoansoGov. XL V. Johnson had
told him a few dayB ago that the onstom
had' existed time oat of mind, and waa
taoitly oonoeded to be a perquisite of tbe
Treasurer. He is required to be the
custodian of the fands entrusted to him
and is held personally responsible even
if they are deposited in the beat banks in
tbe country. Henoe, without power to
invest for the State, and yet held ac
countable for every dollar, it is olaimed
that he had the right to reoeive compen
sation for their safe keeping in the form
of interest from the banks. Moreover,
that unless he divided this um fmet with
his securities, it wonld be impossible ever
to make a bond. Thors is some plans t
biiity in tbis reasoning, but the Treas
urer should do nothing of the kind with
ont express permission 'from his superi
ors, and moreover, tbe present constitu
tion is emphatic in its prohibition of all
suoh irregulamits. There is a moral,
howtrer, which should be pointed right
here. The canse of all this trouble is the
WRETCHEDLY LOW SALARIES
paid to oar State officials. Tnese are ut
terly inadequate to supply even the ordi
nary wants of a family, and hence there
is no alternative bat abjeot poverty or
making a “raise” somewhere, to those
who are beguiled into accepting offioo
unless they are possessed of independen
means. This virtually givea all the places
o£ trust and honor to the
MONEYED ARISTOCRACY
only. Think of the Governor of R grand
commonwealth being tied down to the
paltry stipend of {3,000 per annum, np.
on which he is expucted to entertain pub
lic guests and do the honors of the State
besides supporting perhaps a numerous
family. Or $2,000 paid to the Treasurer,
who handles millions of publio money
and is held responsible for* its safe keep*
ing; or tho miserable sum allowed the in
cumbents of oar highest jadiaatory for a
life time of the hardest labor and respon
sibility. These salaries disgrace and ds-
grade;tbe Stats, and lower the stand
ard of her dignity and honor. It is also
the mo3t short-sighted and contemptible
economy ooncsivable.
HARD OB SOFT MONEY.
The Jnd^e, a man of mark and groat
shrewdness, was down upon Tilden and
Bayard; npon the former, becauss he
doeB not like him, and on the latter for
his hard money wrong-headednees. He
says in no event wiil he support the man
with his barrel of money.* He favors
Ewing first and Thurman at bis second
choice, and wants more greenbacks. The
Judge declares that if the D mooraoy
would boldly announce that one of two
things muit be done, either that the
bloated” bond holders who hold
TWO BILLIONS
of national securities shall have their in
terest paid in cunenoy, or be taxed like
other people, the effect would be to bring
over the whole Greenback party, and as-
snre a Waterloo defeat for the Radicals
next year.
There is some wisdom in the sugges
tion, and it should be carefully consider
ed by every future Democratic Conven
tion.
EXONS Or IMPROVEMENT.
We were struck with the tbiifty aspect of
all the towns and villages on the line ot
the Central Riilroad. In every one of
them numerous buildings are going up.
and fall stocks of goods invite the local
trade of the country. This shows a
healthy condition of affairs, and we can
but hops that the people of Georgia, after
much tribulation, hava at length “touch- 1
ed bottom,” and now are beginning Btead-
ily to recuperate.
THE Bios CROP
is magnificent on the uplands below
Millen, and the introduction of rice cul
ture generally npon onr corn and cotton
lands, which the Telegraph has so per
sistently advocated, we donbt not will
ere long inaegurate a new era in the ag
riculture of Middle and Lower Georgia.
No crop pays os well or is more cer
tain.
SAVANNAH
continues healthy, and is free from mos-
qui'oes. Her merchants say that trade
Wa never so aotive at this early stage of
01 season, and absentees are rapidly re-
til -aing to their homes. The Jasper Cen
tennial is the great sensation just now,
and it will undoubtedly be tne largest
and most imposing military pageant ever
witnessed in the State. The attendance
of distingniahed visitors also will be un
precedented. It is to be a national cele
bration, and Charleston, New York, Bos
ton, and many other cities will send mili
tary and civie representatives. 8uch re
unions do more than anything else to
bury the hatchet of internecine strife.
Mine host of the Marshall Honse is
all smiles and attention, and is getting
an immense patronage. He will demon
strate the India rubber-like oapacity of
his hotel when the “Centennial” comes
off, and says he can feed at least a mil
lion. Adieu. - Aw rmoir.

Curung Affair in Twiggs.
Oa Wednesday night last, we learn
that a catting affair took place at Liberty
Churoh in Twiggs county, about six miles
from Gordon, in which Mr, 8am Veal Be .
rionsly cat a young man by the name of

City Improvements.
All over the city are seen the signa of
improvement and progress. The sound

Concerts by slim Cox.
Tc-morrow and Tuesday evenings at
Balaton Hall, two of the most attractive
