San Fbanciboo, September 21.—Upon
tho arrival ot steamer City of Tokio at her
wharf last evening, General Grant was
received by the Governor and hie staff,
tho oity officials mid exeoative committee
and welcomed by Mayor Bryant in a brief
epeeoh. He then took a carriage and
drove to the Palace Hotel at the head of
an immense proocBtion, and aooompanied
by great crowds.
Bonfires biased at the street corners,
lUomination lit up every window and tbe
glare ofBoman candles and eleotro-lighta
made the broad thoroughfare as bright aa
day. Under a continuous arohery of flrgi,
banners, and. festoons and draperies,
the procession moved up Market street
to Montgomery, end turned down the lat
ter street. Crowds blocked tke sidewalk,'
cheer after cheer rolled along the whale
line of nurob, and almost drowned the
martial strains of numerous bands.
The broad ensign tossed in the nigh
winds glaring with the light of fires and
the glare of roekets and fireballs. The
light mist hovering over the city reflected
tha light of the fireworks and illumina
tions, until tho heavens seemed ablazs.
Not only tbe streets on the march, but
the cross streets between Market and
Montgomery Avenue were brilliant with
decorations. Even the Chinese quarter
seemed to have caught tbe infection and
from a hundred of etaffa the great dragon
flag flaunted its fantastio blazonry beside
the stars and stripes.
Continuing its march, tho procession
moved through Montgomery Avenue to
Kearney street. Here, if possible, the
cio wds were still more dense and enthusi
astic and every display of fireworks, elec-
trio lights, lime lights and every con
ceivable means ot illumination were of
increased brilliancy. * *
On arrival at Market street the proces
sion, moving up a Jew blacks;, cannier*
marobedto the Falaoe Hotel. Here a
magnificent arch forty feet , in height,
spanned Montgomery street, em
blazoned with national colors, -and bear
ing the inscription ‘‘Welcome to Grant.”
At this point tbe carriage oontqleing the
General was drawn up while tba prooes-
*ion marohed in roview—cheer after
cheer rending the aT as division after di
vision passed by.
On the conclusion of tho review tbe va<>
rious organizations were dismissed, and
General Grant was conducted to his quar
ters in the Palace Hotel, whleh bad been
speoially prepared and furnished for his
reception.

Tas grand total of the taxable prop
erty . of Georgia, as made up in the
Comptroller General's offioe and printed
in the Constilu'.ioa, shows a. valuation of
$225,093,419, but a decrease of $1,128^
299 on last, year’s estimate. On these
figures the Constitution remarks, as fol-
[tows:
The most remarkable feature in thie
report ia the decline in the assessments 'ef
cotton factories. It is off $1,132,000 in
one item. Or, to put It. differently,
there ia more decline in this one partic
ular than in ail the property of the State.
Indeed, the other property shows an in
crease, bnt tniB decrease overbalances.it,
and pu>s the credit on the wrong side.
Why thie enormous decrease in cottbn

then in there this one drop oE ever ono
million dollars In factory property ? Are
the factories worth that much less this
year than last year ? We think this item
ight. be looked into.
THE MINING INVESTMENTS.
The point tbac needs doccoring most,
however, is tha “capital invested in min
ing.’' The total reported under this head
i3 $97,530, being a gain of $20,000 over
last year. This total ib absurdly small.
There are many «iogle mines -in Georgia
worth this money. We venture to say
that one single factory in Atlanta ha3
made $100,000 worth of Btamp mills for
gold-mining alone in tbe past eight years.
Where, then, is the account of the im
mense amount; of machinery brought in
from’othor States, and where is the enor
mous value of the mines ? One ooal mine
—tho Dade county company—returns
over half of this tax, leaving less than
$50,000 for all the gold mines, copper
mines, etc., in the State. Wo reel per
fectly sure that these mineB, assessed at
less than $5,000 in the total, oould not be
bought to-day tor ono miilion dollars, in
other words, we think they aro north at
foreed sale $950,000 more than they are
returned at. We believe that the min
ing property of Georgia to-day is worth
fivo million dollars at tbe least estimates.
Tho annual product of bullion is pnt at
$1,000,000. This all comes out of prop-
erty worth less than $50,000. Why, oug
mine was sold last week at $32,000. This
matter should be looked into. The State

THE CITIES AND TOWNS FLOURISHING.
It will be seen that the cities and towns
bov? more than held their own. The in
crease in oity and town property is $636,-

•'The' merchants, too, are doing well.
They have increased their Etocks nearly
one million dollars. There is a decrease
of $979,532 - in improved lands, which
means farms and plantat ions. There is
a decrease of $404,176 in muleB and
horses, which is hard to account for, aa
the farmers have increased the value of
their tools and implements $113,034. A
notable increase is in the capital invest
ed in shipping, which goes up $283,955.
and aggregates nearly a million dollars.
There 13 a heavy decrease In bank shares

I About three years. Dr. Long perform-

successful. This was one year before X
entered Long’s office. I entered if in

: i«ET the Good Work Go On.—Under
this head the Albany Advertiser remarks
as follows:
The Advertiser, does not desire to be
clafBed among those papers in the State
who are growing impatient with the
present session of the Legislature. We
regard this as the best body of men, with
the;exception perhaps' of ths OonetitU-
tiwjsl Convention, that has assembled ia
the! capitol smoe the war, and we hope i r '
they will remain la' Atlanta until all the &
work they, have begun. Is finished, if if
them nntil Christmas. .It is true
that times are hard, money sea roe, taxes
high and ali this investigation of publio
officers is costing minVt of abney; but
economy does not alwaysfoonsist in lock-
yjethe safs and throwing the kqy away.
At has occurred to U3 that a considerable
portion , of thisi crookednew At ; the
State capqoi mignt have been averted by
mere liberal salaries to those who hwro
such great trusts and responsibilities in
their keeping.; It may,be, perhaps, that
we. jhave not been .either economical or
Wise in thie respect. But, be this aa ic
may, we are in favor of the continuous
aittipg of the Legislature until all the
ddnesB at the capital has been made

prevailed in Augusta cotton market dur

decline of one cent during the week,
while, the New York market baa only de-
3 * 16 - The cause of the deoline
is aireo-.ijr ubiaam
traneportatiou, which^ prevents ship-
meets. Many rumors nave been afloat
and charges made as to the rea
son for this lock out.' Ope charge,
was that it was brought abo&t by
the bears who secured all - the steam
ship room at Savannah and Charleston to
New York ia order to fill September
contracts in New York. Another charge
has been tbat the bulls bought up' tbe
steamship lines between tbe two South
ern ports named end New York, until
October 1st, to prevent the bears from fill-,
ing September con^raots. Both theae
chargee have been strenuously denied by
tbe steamship line?, and it is evident from
what we have ascertained that both
charges aro unfounded and that the
blockade is owing Biinply to legitimate
causes, certain shipper? having secured
transportation for ootton to New York,
end these engagements took all the ca
pacity of the steamers nntil Bspteniber
29tb. Both the Savaanah and Charles-
-.ou lines put on an extra steamer a week
ia order to meet the increased demand
npon their capacity, andiha'schedule was
made faster so as to aosommodato ship
pers as much as possible. Each steamer
that has left those ports has; carried her
full complement of cotton. After the
20 ib the pressure will be relieved and
cotton will then go forward muoh faster.
To-day tho receipts and sales in Au
gust* havo both been large, the former
amounting to 1,618 bales, and the latter
to 1,421 bides. One buyer took 500 bales.
The stodk at present in the oity, by actu
al count, is 1,981 bales. Th# receipts
einoe September 1st, aggregates 8,830
bales against 12,275 at the same date last
year.

“VVhab aboutyonr first experienoein

“Well, ia 18391 went to a frolic at the
house ot Mr. Weir, situated about five
miles from the town of Athens. I was
then quite a young man, about nineteen,
and wai; in fur fun. At this party were
a cumber of young men, very lively boys,
who were-in for all sorts of mischief, like
myself. On that night, we canght a ne
gro boy, and while Mr. BobertWeir
held him I held a bandkerohief saturated
with sulphuric ether to hie nose, and held
it thero come time. After a little while
the boy sank down and passed into, a
state of complete uuconsciousness. I had!
frequently scon people partially under
tbe inflae|nce of sulphorio ether, bat had
never seen any one completely so. This
boy lay in a perfectly comatoee state—
no movement whatever, except what the
medioaliken call stertorous breathing.
His eye3 were closed, and he'itaa to all
appearance like a dead man. We be
came greatly frightened, and sent for V
physician • five miica away; The messen
ger was gone two. hours. Whop-ths.
physician came ho understood nothing
about ths boy’s condition, having afcver
seen anybody in that fir before. He
thought he muetdo something, however,
eo he sprinkled a little watpr. in the
boy’s faet?^ end told us tbat there was no
dinger—he would wake np after a while.
The water had no effect. The boy lay
there without moving during the entire
night. Aoout daylight he moved hie
aims Slightly, and soon afterward got np
and, walked about, acting like an idiot,
atcer sometime, however, his faculties
werecomplotely regained end he was ail
ngiit i.raio. I -.til you we were glad.
So u'-ri-.vis were the whole party about
him that they staygd there all night." -
