Crfcgntjilj auit IHcssnigtr. MACON, FEBUUABY 27,18S0 GEORGIA PRESS. Very little cotton is coming Into Thoniaston. Eatonton lias received to date, 6,056 bales of£cotlon, a falling off of about 2,000 baleo on last season. A little son of Mr. John Yaugh, of Put nam county, cut Ills knee badly with a drawing knife last week. A new depot and two stores are to be built in Eatonton soon. Mb. Lewis Render, of Greenville, has bought the Amoss place in LaGrange for $3,000 and will reside there. Some of the farmers in Schley, mention the appearance of rust in the wheat, and are fearful of the consequences. Southwestern Georgia planters fear a scarcity of cotton seed on account of the rainy, cloudy weather during the pick ing season. Blovst county indebtedness is to be funded in six per cent, bonds. Four hundred mortgages were filed in Crenshaw county during the month of January Tr svii.ee Times: Let Colonel Wad! -and the moneyed men of Savan nah—go Ut work and erect grain elevators and make every possible improvement which add to the terminal facilities of the S eat tlirongh line. By thus taking the itialive step, Savannah will get a run of the business which will be hard to divert, if Indeed it can be. Tlic people of that city should be up and doing. Police Record fob thf.

Ameuicus Recorder: Demoralized. —Owing to the presence of the lightning sign painter and a double supplj“of the inimitable monkey and organ grinders, the t rad j of Americas has been greatly demoralized during the past week. Ac tive Merchants and grave bankers incon- 11 tlv quit their counters and desks to Btu.. common cause with the graceless street urchins in the enjoyment of the cheap, but fascinating shows. Killing of an Outlaw.—Angusta News: Some weeks ago the News printed the account of a posse of South Carolini ans, Tn their attempt to arrest a well known desperado and escaped convict at a bouse near Wedgefield, South Carolina, an-1 the magnificent failure of the attempt. On last Friday night, however, a party, led by Charles S. Wilson, of Wedgefield, surrounded the house and demanded his surrender. Frierson rushed out, waving a revolver, and was fired on. He ran about two Imndrcd yards, and was caught while climbing the fence. He died in twenty, minutes, having ten buckshot in him. He endeavored, apparently, before he died, to tell something of the murder of an old white man in the neighborhood that has been a mystery for several years, but death ensued in the midst of his confes sion. He had frequently sworn that lie would die before he would be recaptured. He wtfs a desperate character, and was a terror to the neighborhood. A general feeling of relief is felt by all citizens, white and colored, at his death. He was tried for his life, several years since, for the minder of an old and inoffensive col ored man for his money, hut succeeded in evading the penalty of the law by implica ting a negro, Taylor Wilson, who was hanged. He Is charged with having com mitted other murders. Dublin Gazette: Last Wednesday we took a ride over tlie western part of this county in what is known as the “Ashley Settlement.” Wc were forcibly struck with the improvements of the farms aloug the »v hole way—new grounds by the hun dred acres, new' fences and many new dwellings. We were glad to see tlic quan tity Of small grain planted, for no doubt com wilt be scarce, and doubtless small grain may enable our fanners to complete tin-if crops. Dublin Gazette: We understand that the Oconee river steamboat company is negotiating tlie sale of their steamer, the Colville, to a party of gentlemen engaged in the naval store business on the Aka- malm and the company will build and have ready by the time they are to deliver the Colville, anew first-class steamer, large, but of light draught, eveiy way muted to tlic exigencies of the carrying trade on the Oconee river. Fort Gainf.s Tribune: Mr. Lee Sut- livc brought to this office yesterday a sample of rust proof oats, taken from a smallest loss of the year," $165, with SI,200 insurance. Augusta Evening News: Death of a Young and Prominent Georgia Journalist.—After an illness of some weeks, Mr. H. G. Wright died last even ing of congestion of the brain, at the resi dence of his uncle, Governor Herschel V. Johnson, in Jefferson county. Mr. Wright was the second son of General A R. Wright, and was twenty-nine years old at the time of his death. He began active life as a member of the Augusta bar having entered the profession with bril liant prospects, and under the fine legal training of Lis distinguished father. His peculiar talents, however, tended toward journalism, and he con nected himself, when quite a young man with the Chronicle and Sentinel as its local editor. He filled this place with great credit, and upon the death of his father, who was then editor-in-cliief of the Chronicle, and whtn Mr. Henry Moore decided to sell, he, together with Hon. Patrick Walsh, bought the paper and took his father’s place as editor-in- chief. He, though a very young man to fill so responsible a position, at once gave evidence, not only of his ability as a wri ter, but as a political writer of great force and sagacity. He continued to exercise a commanding influence in the councils of the Democratic party, and made his paper a most potent instrument for the advance ment of its interests. In 1877 he was elected a member of the Lower House of the General Assembly, Without ^position, and at once took high place as a strong and conservative legisla tor. He was, if we remember, a member of the Committee on Rules, and Chair man of the Committee on Railroads, which had much to do with the present statutes of the State on railroad subjects. Mr. Wright was a trenchant, vigorous and independent writer, aud his place in Georgia journalism will be hard to fill. As an editor his influence was great, and Ids many friends and admirers through the State will be deeply touched when they learn that one so gifted and so prom ising is cut off in the flower of young manhood. Mr. Wright married a daughter of Hon. Henry F. Russell, of Augusta, aud leaves a devoted wife and children to mourn his sad death. Tatnall county wants a poor house. Bets are made in Savannah that Cen tral stock will go above par. From Bamesville comes a complaint of the scarcity of labor. It is said Judge Trippe will ran for Congress in the Atlanta District this fall. A saw mill is much needed in Monte- field of one hundred acres, on his father’s plantation in Early, that measures twen ty-seven inches in height. This is decid edly the finest specimen of that growing crop we have seen or heard of this season. They are green and luxuriant, and pre sent no appearance of blight—will be ready for the reaper by the 1st of May. Another Crack Farmer.—Americus Recorder : Hr. H. L. Calhoun, of Dooly, on the Denuard place, made last year, with sixteen mules, two hundred bales of coubn, and com, rye, oats, peas, and po tatoes enough to do his place, besides a surplus of each for sale. This is ahead of anything we have yet heard. Who can.heat it? Tiie Constitution publishes Colonel Hardeman’s speech at King’s Mountain in full, accompanied by the following re marks: One of the happiest and most eloquent oratois In a State famous forgreat orators, Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., always makes a brilliant speech. Certain efforts of his stand pre-eminent among tlie class ical, heroic orations with which our histo ry is filled. It is doubtful if he ever made a speech to equal the one that we publish this morning. Prepared for a grand occasion, delivered on historic grounds in the presence of a vast crowd that would liavs inspired the dullest logi cian, it glows and sparkles with luminous and lofty sentiments from beginning to end. It is needless to say that rich and generous as it appears in the Consli- lutimv of to-day the cold type cannot con vey tho splendid fire and coloring that it had when delivered. Those who heard it describe it as a great speech in ess-nee and incidental, and it made an imp 'cssion on the immense audience that w in lie lasting. Colonel Hardeman is one «»r the most popular of Georgia’s sons, and. Ins influence is always turned in the di rection of tlie State’s best interests. We ■> • ncrui the King’s Mountain speech to the attention of our readers, as the inter pretation of a great occasion—the illumin- j.i- of a grand piece of history—full of • oism and chivalry and thoughts that - - ble men and fill the public heart with h- flavor of high endeavor. vannaii News: Fire Record.— dilate the followihg interesting facts tlie annual report of Sir. George o, Secretary of tlie Savannah Fire irtment, tlie Chief Engineer, Captain X Blair. During the year 1S70, there thirty-seven fires and four false ns, with aggregate losses amounting -37,050.60, insurance $48,070. The ■cit losses were’ in August, when • were four (ires, attended with a loss 1,125, and insurance to the amount ,100. October recorded the greatest tier of fires, six, and June the least, one. M»v had two fires and the I. N. Davis was elected mayor of Val dosta on last Wednesday. The grand jury of Baldwin county found twenty-nine true bills last week. Several cases of typhoid fever have occurred at the Beach Institute, Savan nah. On last Saturday, in Bamesville, there was cock fighting going on all day. A party came from Griffin with chickens to whip out the Bamesville chickens. It is not stated which city was victorious. Mr. William Sims, of Stewart coun ty, who went to Texas about a year ago, has returned home and says that he is satisfied with his experience in the West Wk notice in the Dawson Journal, that Miss Mary Clark, daughter of the late Judge James M. Clark, was married on the 11th instant to Colonel Leigh, of Montgomery county, Alabama. W. E. Mumford ha3 sold the Talbot- ton Standard to J. W. Hall. Mr. Mum- ford will, however, continue to assist Mr. Hall in the editorial conduct of tho paper. Milledgeville Recorder: Tlie new extension of tlie Central railroad depot in this city, is completed. It is not only <well built witli a view to comfort,conven ience and business, but is admirably ar ranged and well furnished. There is a capacious ware-room—office rooms for agents and two apartments for the con venience of travelers. A wide passage separates the business offices from the sa loons. It is the best depot belonging to a single company, in the State. President Wadley in this great improvement recog nizes the very large business done here by liis agents, and he has shown his liberality by furnishing them and the public with every facility for transacting their busi ness pleasantly and being made comforta ble. Besides this, it is an addition to the appearance of the city in that direction, which is no little consideration in itself. We congratulate all concerned on the consummation of an object so desirable. Judge Simmons is presiding over the Monroe Superior Court this week, in place of Judge Speer. The Monroe Advertiser says he delivered a plain practical charge to the grand jury, giving them a clear in sight into their general duties and ex plaining the special statutes required by law to be given to the jury. He enjoined upon them the most available secrecy con cerning the deliberations of the body, not only daring court, but for all tune to come. Judge Simmons further directed the at tention of the jury to their duty in making careful inspection of the records of the va rious officers of the county and its finan cial condition. His charge was so practi cal that there can be no misunderstand ing of the jury and as it is composed of intelligent citizens, we expect a good week’s work. The other juries were or ganized and the trial of cases commenced at once. Jail Delivery.—Union and Recor der: On Wednesday night last three pris oners escaped from the jail In this city— one white man and two negroes. The yhite man had that day been convicted of forging or altering a note for a trifling amount and sentenced to the penitentiary for six years. Many expressed satisfac tion that the young man had escaped, as they thought the sentence out of all pro* portion to the crime committed. We can not so look at it, and must believe that Judge Lawson acted with due regard to the requirements of the law, though we may be mistaken. It certainly was a tre mendous punishment for a few dollars— only $6 we hear. We have not heard how- the prisoners got out. The Greatest Wonder of phe Age.—Athens Banner: On yesterday we were assured by Messrs. Autry aud Ed wards, well borers, that the day before, while boring a well on the farm of Mr. Sherwood Wise, some four or five miles from Athens, and just beyond Middle Oconee River, they took out from the middle of as hard a blue granite rock as they had ever encountered, forty-six feet under the ground, a complete iron wedge, such as is generally used in splitting rails of wood. The iron wedge is in the pos session of the gentlemen who took it from the rock, and is apparently ,but little worn. For President.—Montezuma Weekly: Yesterday morning, while passing up Dooly street, we dropped into the busi ness houses and, upon investigation, found the following to be the vote of the busi ness men on that street: For Hendricks, 13; Thurman, 4; Bayard, 7; Tilden, 7; Seymour, 4; Nominee, 11. Correspondents of the Constitution have been interviewing people about presidential candidates in Atlanta, New- nan, Washington, Cartersvillc, Griffin, Marietta, Forsyth, Dalton, Carrolton, Greensboro, Rome, West Point, Hawkins- ville, Madison aud LaGrange, and find the total to fnt up as follows from the six teen towns: Tilden, 236; Thurman, 124; Hendricks, 73; Seymour, C7; Hancock, -17: Bayard 43; Ewing, 4 ; David Davis. 4; Gordon, 3; Grant, 3; Brown, 2; Ran dall, 2; Hill, 1; Church, 1; Jewett, 1; Pendleton, 1: English, of Connecticut, 1; Palmer, of Illinois, 1; -for nominee, 45— total 658. We would really like to know how Tilden is to carry New York, the pivotal State, with Tammany bitterly against him, or how Thurman can carry Ohio by which States both have lately been defeated. The Stock Market.—Savannah the hears of martial turn donned their toggery, and for a time forgot the “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,” and inarched gaily to the music of the fife and dram, excepting the older animals, who from age or other infirmities were uh- able or unwilling to participate in the ac tivities of the day, but nursed their strength for the festivities of the evening, in order to keep up with tlose of younger years at the closing of the “day" we cele brate.” Tims tlie market was quiet, but strong, with a slight advance, sales of four hundred shares being made at 100| and 101; so Central may he quoted at those figures. "The presence of several railroad gentle men in town, and the giving out of the contract forthe building of the mammoth steamship “ City of Augusta,” may -upply the material for a boom to-day. \\ e merely suggest this, however. . : | The Steamer H. B. Plant.—Savan : nah News: The new steamer H. B. Plants Captain J. W. Fitzgerald, arrived here yesterday from Washington, Deleware, bound for Jacksonville. She will be run on tlic St. John’s river'in connection with, the Savaun ill, Florida, and Western Railway, and is admirably adapted for the trade. Her saloon is neatly furnished and commodious, and her cabin accom modations excellent. She is very attrac tive in appearance, and we have no doubt will prove a great favorite with the trav elling public. Mr. Pratt is first engineer, and Mr. John Sullivan second engineei The steamer has powerful engines, and, we understand, is very fast. Says the Camilla Dispatch:. “Rice culture is growing in interest with the farmers of Eastern and Southern Georgia. On the ordinary pine lands of this coun try, where they arc loo low, perhaps, for almost any other crop, most profitable crops ot rice could bo grown. Who among our fanners wtll make a move in this di rection ? It pays better than cotton in al most every instance where the two have been tested comparatively. We hope to chronicle the taking of tlie premium for the best rice by a Mitchell county farmer at tlic next fall" fair.” Athens Banner: “A witness at the Walton court would not put liis hand on tlie Bible when the Solicitor wanted to swear liim. He said he did not believe in the Bible, did not believe that there was any God, heaven or liell. The Solicitor General concluded that such a man was not entitled to be believed on oai’n him self.” Washington Correspondence. Washington City, Feb. 22,1880, THE DEMOCRATS, after a field day yesterday, finally suc ceeded in whipping the allied forces of the Radicals, Greenbackers and so-called Independents in the House notwithstand ing Speer's activity and energy, and a ten minute speech from the member from tlic Eighth Georgia district who made pretty much that same old speech about “Jef fersonian Democracy,” etc. At first the day seemed going against us hut theDem- ocrats came in beautifully on the homo stretch. Of pourse the Radicals heartily applauded Mr. Stephens assaults on the Democratic. line. That, somehow, goes without saying these latter days. So, also, does the prediction frequently heard now from members of that party that if Grant is nominated by them, Mr. Stephens will support him against the candidate of the “corrupt secession Democracy,” as his friend Simmons phrases it. And speaking of Simmons, I learned last night from our friend Randall,'of tlie Augusta Chronicle, who seems particularly well posted as to that worthy’s chances, that he will betri- umphatly confirmed. This is not my in formation from Democratic Senators, but then I may not have Randall’s opportunities of information from other sources. I think Randall is mistaken, but lie is such an enthusiastic believer in whatever he hears from certain quarters, that it is almost unkind, yea, heartless, to differ with him. Felton seemed disposed yesterday to take a back scat, in tin; tight" against the Democrats. He must be under the weath- somehow. Erobably that dose qj Simmons has made him too sick for ac tive work. Speer lias pushed him aside, apparently, and now does most of the heavy business for tlie so-called Indepen dents. He is much quicker than Felton,and like Hale, of Maine, isn’t afraid to come to the scratch, no matter liow often he is beaten. If he would quit his foolishness, and come hack into ranks, he might make a future for himself worth having. STILL DVljj. I have never known a duller session of Congress. There may be plenty of fun and fire ahead, hut so far there have not been any surface indications. The new rales have blocked the way and bottled up Congressional oratory. When the rules are disposed of then there may he music in the air, and a lively sliakiug up of old hones. I believe that both par ties rather dread the first step, which is always the one that costs. But parly exigencies and political necessi ties must force the fight after a while and then things will fairly hum. This may be bad for the country but is good for the newspapers, and is bound to come. If the Democrats had made, or rather had stuck to the “fraud” issue, matters might have been greatly simplified and our position greatly strengthened. That was a plat form on which all could have stood, and it would have put the enemy on the de fensive and kept him there. It was a healthy and hefty grievance to present to the people, and could have carried us through the campaign swimmingly. Why our leaders didn't so decide seems an evi dence to me either of a gross lack of judg ment or the existence of petty jealousy and selfishness as contemptible as it was stupid. I have as l.ttle liking for Mr. Tilden, as a leader, as anybody, but I sometimes think he could, with a united party at his back, and his imrivailed skill and energy in organizing and directing a campaign, make the landing in Novem ber. 1 have always held that in fighting the devil or the Badicals it made veiy lit tle difference which or what was the weapon or methods employed. The fraud issue would, it is true, have been rather a narrow one for a great party to go to the country on, and Mr. Tilden is far from the most admirable exponent pf that poli cy, but we can’t have political matters to our liking always. We must fight with one hand and hold our noses with the other sometimes, especially when the in famously rotten and odorous thing called Radicalism was tlie adversary. OUT OF THE MOUTHS >• ! ‘i of babes and sucklings comes wisdom—• or words to that effect—we are told some- wliere in the Good Book. This is apropos of something that was norated to me a day or two since by a lady who is the very fond mother of a bright little girl, aged ten or thereabouts. They had been in the House gallery, one listening and the other looking at what was going on below, when the sharp young person es pied Mr. Stephens seated, as usual,'in his rolling chair, and moving restlessly about in the area in front of the Speaker's desk, and in the main aisle separating the two parties. _She.looked earnestly at buna, moment, and then turning to her mother, said: “Mama, just look at Sir. Steph ens. He rolls his chair first on tlie Demo cratic, and then on the Republican side. Does lie belong to both sides?” I do not know wliat.her mother’s reply was) except a hearty laugh, hut I am ot tlie opinion, that she thinks the young persou aforesaid unconsciously propounded a somewhat significant query. A very distinguished Senator, to whom it was told in my presence, insisted, that it was too good to be lost, and that I should have it embalmed in print. A BLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION seems to exist between Simmons’oppo nents and his admirers as to his prospects of confirmation. The former, say be will be incontinently floored, and that only Mr. Hill, and possibly Mr. Eaton, of Con necticut, of tho Democrats, will vote for him. The latter claim that he will go through by two to one, and that a dozen Democrats will vote for him. I have heard these divers claims made within the last twenty-four honrs. All lean say is tint the Southern Senators who vote for this odious old Tory had best make, up their minds for warm times when they' come before the “corrupt secession trait ors” asking re-election. Some men don’t fancy being thus branded, and as they News: The holiday yesterday gave tlie I can’t get at Simmons they may give those stock market “ a rest.” The bulls and J who endorse him a sharp lesson. Of course I have no means of knowing how the matter is likely to end, hut it docs seem to me that so deserving a creature as Simmons, of a symmetrical and sum mary mashing, so to speak, will he sure to get it. : with SOME MORE WINTER came along'this morning in tlic shape of a respectable snowstorm, which fell heavily for two or three hours, but has now van ished under-the.persuasion of- a bright sun. The temperature, however, is still more than seasonable, and aliowling wind cuts like a knife. I had some thought of buying an rilster cheap under the idea that as winter .was gone they could he captured at a heavy discount, but found them marked up again. The man up in Canada, who has been playing the role of “Old Frob,” and foretelling plenty pf cold weather, has evidently been getting some inside points. Governor Colquitt and Colonel Avery, his private Secretary, are both-here, or were yesterday, and I learn were to' be in the city several days. Messrs. Ed. Sa lisbury and E. Winahip were here last Sunday, and I had. the pleasure of “pumping” both on all those bits of per sonal and home news that don’t get into the papers. What oases for people absent from home are thtoe meetings. The only trouble about them is that you forget to ask until too late about half the questions you. wanted answers to. A. W. 1C. Nashville, Chattanooga and Central Georgia Through Line. The New York Tribune, of the 23d : reports at length an interview between its Nashville correspondent and Superintend ent Newcomb, of the Louisville and Nash ville road, in reference to tlie arrange ments and prospects of the new through line. We copy so much of this interview as follows: Your correspondent called on Mr. New comb—froth whom all currents of infor mation or surmise 'seemed to come—aud asked him if it were tnie that lie had es tablished the close relations reported with Mr: Wadley. He replied: it is true. The proposition of a lease of the Georgia Central, made to Colonel Cole and bought by us, was with drawn at my request. I called on Mr. Wadley, and we very soon arranged an alliance of the very closest character. We then agreed that this alliance was just as effective as a lease could be and much more satisfactory. I therefore sug gested that the proposiifon be withdrawn, and he agreed to withdraw it.” “This, then, gives you control of every line from the West to the South Atlantic seaboard?” ” “It gives us all that we want and all that we have aimed at. We have been greatly misunderstood in the South, and liave been subjected to unjust abuse. It was said that we bought control of tlie Nashville and Chattanooga for the pur pose of breaking up the through line rom St. Louis to Savannah, and it was credited to Mr. Stephens that ourpurchase had destroyed the’grandcst enterprise the South ever had. I remained quiet under these assaults, knowing that when our plans were developed it would be shown that, instead of breaking up this line, we had taken the only course that could make it efficient or permanent. For years I have appreciated the importance of a through line in the South. I have known that capital, immigration, enterprise fol low the great currents of trade, and that cities, towns and villages crow along their sides,'just as harvests grow by the hanks of rivers. But I have never yielded my conviction that two great lines could not prosper in a section that would support only one. It has been clear for a long time that our road and the Nashville and Chattanooga must he brought under one control in some one. For a long time we have been on the point of flying at each other’s throats, and in fact the building of parallel lines, through tliinly-settled sections of country, had already liegun when we bought tho Nashville and Chat tanooga stock, and put a stop to a policy which must have crippied us both if per sisted in. As it is now, we have a fine field, and there is no fear of our being driven into desperate measures. We shall he able to give the South a better line than it could have had otherwise.” “ Is it your intention to demand of the pool commissioner of the trank lines a share of the Western freights?” “ I do not think we will do so at pres ent. We are fairly entitled to a part of this carrying trade, and will get it, I ap- irehend, without a demand. We have a inc from St. Louis to New York, via Sa vannah, seventy mile3 shorter—counting the water at three miles for one of land transportation—than that from St. Louis to New York by the Pennsylvania Cen tral. Our line is open every day of tlie year, while the Northern lines are fre quently blocked by snow and ice at tlie busiest scasou. And then our line lias no watered stock on which to pay divi dends, but stands with steel rails and full equipment at about $20,000 per mile, not one-third of tlie capital cost of tho North ern lines. We are therefore fairly enti tled to> a part of this trade, and could do.it, if necessary, cheaper than the com peting trunk lines; but 1 do not anticipate any trouble in getting all we want. At ireseiit we are not prepared to do any of :t If it was offered. Our local freights are so enormous that wc ardfrdin 150 to 400 cars a day behind right now. "We have several thousand men at work building cars, and we are getting about 200 new cars a month. We will get 400 cars from the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, that were bought for the proposed Evans ville extension. We need. more, than a thousand cars before we open for through business. Colonel Wadley is now in New York, hurrying the completion of several new steamships to add to our Now York and Savannah line. CONSUMPTION CURED.

A Correction Cheerfully Made. ^We have received a. note from Colonel Thomas Hardeman, Jr., tho President of the State Agricultural Society, in which hdlays: Tn your issue this morning you state I had informed you Atlanta had made a formal proposition to have me hold the next State Fair in that . city. I did not in tend to convey such an impression, lor I have no propositions from the city author ities in reference to tho next fair. I only wished to impart to you the Information that some steps were beiug taken in a pri vate way looking to that result.” Our interview with President Harde man took place on the street, and was ex ceedingly brief. We understood him to say that Atlanta would put in an applica tion for the Fair, and therefore penned the paragraph to which lie alludes, sup posing he had reference to the city au thorities. Gladly do we print his- explanation, and would not knowingly misrepresent either the corporation of Atlanta or the esteemed President of the Georgia Agricultural So ciety.

For this we feel grateful to .God and to the brethren, and arc encouraged to expect results still more favorable. Oui confidence in the spirit of Missions among the brethren has been strengthened, We believe they will give readily to the support of this cause if they are properly approaclied upon the subject. We believe the pastors would promptly bring the sub ject before their churches if they did not forget it. We believe if the brethren had a proper appreciation of “littles,” the num ber and aggregate value of their gifts would he much greater. We do not ex pect pounds from individual givers, hut pennies from the multitudes. Do not de spise the day of small things. Remember the widow’s mite, and forget not that the Lord commended her gift above tho munificent donations of the rich, It is proper, also, that we should state to you that we are enlarging our works; going to regions beyond; placing more la borers in "the field; and that there are many good and true men and women anx ious to go forth and hear the everlasting gospel to people who sit in darkness and the regions of death. More funds are needed, and we appeal to the Baptists of Georgia to contribute their proportion, We appeal to you, brethren, in the name of our Master, who said: “ Go and teach all nations.” We ap peal to you in tlio name of the mil lions whose daily cry is ringing upon our ears, “Come over and help us.” We entreat you by the prosperity with which God :has blessed your labors, by the hope of immortal blessedness which he has kindled within your bosoms, by the joys you experience in seeing the triumphs of His kingdom; by the gladness of the na tions brought to the Redeemer’s feet. We entreat you to make some small contribu tion to those who are preaching Jesus in heathen lands. ■ It is only about two months before our convention meets. Will not the pastors all over the State take one or more col lections before that time ? It the pastor forgfets it, will not some deacon orbrother or sister remind him of the work ? And if it prove wholly impracticable to take a general collection,will not each one who reads this circular send his own contribu tion-lot it he ever so small.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—We thank yon for your notice of the meeting of the State Grange in your city on the ninth. Having adopted as the organ of the State Grange of Georgia the Patron of Husbandry, of Columbus, Mississippi—a strictly Grange journal, and the organ of most of the Southern State Granges—the full proceedings of said meeting have been forwarded to that paper, and ten thousand copies of the issue with pro ceedings will be disseminated among tlie membership of the Grange in Georgia, when, no doubt, the press of our State in sympathy with progressive agricul ture will ’notice the same. The Grange is clearly a national organ ization, and is earnestly at work opposing all sectional feelings and strife and in this should he endorsed hy every Conservative paper in this nation. The last meeting of the National Grange man ifested in its earnest actions, much inter est towards correcting this .strife and ill. blood that lias been engendered by parti- san'misrepresentation. To shun this, the National Grange passed l>y a rising vote the following conservative sentiment, in troduced by Mr. King, Master of tho Na tional Grange ofMaine: Whereas, Our true interest as a na tion, our real and permanent prosperity and happiness as a people, imperatively demand that we should “dwell together in unity,” that while jealously guarding our own rights, we should be careful to accord to others the privileges which be long to every citizen, thus practically illustrating that charity which is the great distinguishing characteristic of our fraternity, and Whereas, our future advancement will depend largely upon the full and practi cal'recognition of the fact that tlic several States of this Union, in their social, in dustrial and political interests, are mutu ally dependent upon each other, that when harm comes to one, all must sutler, and that what Is for the real good of one must result in general good to ali, and VVhereas, the influence of political par ties as at present constituted, and as tlieir interests are administered, and also of party papers and party speakers, tends to a very great degree to incite rather than allay sgctional feelings aud local jealous ies, 1 to provoke enmity between those whos#” political interests ' and social relations demand that they should culti vate:, and maintain the most friendly re lations, to engender a bitterness of party strife and an unhealthy rivalry among those who are really members of the same great family: and, • Whereas, Agriculture is at the foun dation of all real prosperity and material development, and aswe believe this de velopment, can only he realized through tlie 1 intelligent, cordial, unselfish organi zation and co-operation of agriculturists, and, Whereas, Until llie advent of this Or der, no organization composed wholly of that class and administered in its especial interests had existed, through and by which farmers could so concentrate their efforts and unite their forces as to make their strength and importance apparent, and their influence felt and appreciated; therefore, Resolved, By the National Grange of the.Patrons of Husbandry of tlie United States, convened in annual session at the village of Canandaigua, State of New York, on tlie 19th' ofNo’vembcr, 1S79, that the Order of Patrons of Husbandry in the United States. is a National Organization, that we recognize tlie rights, civil, politi cal and industrial, of each citizen of this: Union; tlidfc’wtf have no sympathy with frowned upon hy good citizens every where. Resolved, That we extend to all mem bers of our Order, no’matter where their dwelling place, or however humble their circumstances, our cordial and fraternal greeting, and assure them of our confined interest in their welfare and our desire far their social and educational advance ment, and material prosperity; and we hereby pledge ourselves anew, "to labor to llie extent of our ability forthe realiza tion of our wishes. Resolved, That we cordially invite all fanners and farmers’ wives, and farmers’ sons and daughters throughout this broad l^nd, to jom our ranks and unite with us In one grand effort ts give to the agricul turists of America the intellectual and so cial standing which they have so richly earned, and to agriculture the political recognition and pecuniary results which its vast Importance demands, and we promise to labor faithfully with them to accomplish these results. " Does this not ring like true conserva tism,' which was breathed, and was from thie heart of every member from thirty States, in National Convention assembled, aud each State is at work earnestly in cariying out in good faith this action of the National Grange? Will not Georgia contribute liberally to this good end? I am, most respectfully, T-. J. Smith, Master Georgia State Grange. You are wasting corn when you try to fatten hogs whose intestines are filled with worms. Foutz’s norso and Cattle Powders will destroy the worms and put the animal in a condition to fatten.

Mr. Vest, in presenting these petitions, made some remarks in which he pronounc ed false the statement‘thatJay Gould and others were lobbying to secure the open ing of the Indian Territory to settlement.

He declared that the statement was a gross pern reion of truth, which showed a desire to heap sectional feelings and jealousies, with party auimosities, with the revival of past j odiiim upon him. issuefor.partyorperspnnl aggrandizement, It was not true, as stated, that the Vwith that narrow,, selfish; umialciman- Commerce Committee had rebuked him; like statesmanship, which will 1 i fault iu it was not true that the speaker had creating a solid North or a solid South; ' called upon him to retract any assertion with bribery, corruption, intimidation, which he had made, and it was not true ballot-box stufi'ng, or buh-dozing. eillidr . ilipt thecomniitteehad deliberated wlietli- North or South; that while we ut; ,iy cr or not it should censure him.

London, Febraaiy 24 Dean Stanley to-day received a deputation of citizens, who presented an address, with thirty-two hundred signatures, protesting against the proposed erection in Westminster Abbey of a monument to the memory of tlie late Prince Imperial. Dean Stanley, howev er, adhered to his previous decision, and said if he should yield in this instance, the door would be opened for complaints from every party which disapproved of the honors conferred upon persons with whom it was not in sympathy. Relative to the supposed feeling in America with regard to tlie proposed monument, the Dean said: “If the Orleans Princes had fallen in tlic war for the Union, their graves would doubtless have been heaped with all the honor the United States could bestow.” Berlin, February 24.—The North Ger man Gazette,in a leading article comment ing on the proposed erection in Russia of extensive fortifications at the frontier posts of Roano, Baily, Stok aud Grodas, says, Russia's purpose probably is to impress her people with tlie belief that there is danger of an attack from Germany, and thus stir up popular excitement hostile to the latter power. If it be true that Rus sian designs against Germany, of which General Giliontine, Russian Minister of Was, is said to he chief promoter, arc only postponed until France is ready, then these fortifications against a peaceful neighbor may be regalded as preparation for future aggressive war, neither France nor Russia has ever been attacked by Germany, and the collossal armaments of these two States, which, by compulsion, weigh upon the rest of Europe, can there fore be based upon an aggressive policy.

The Committee then adjourned to meet at the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, Thursday, June 17th. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, pre sented a majority report to-day on the in- vertigations made by the Senate commit tee on Civil Service and Retrenclmicnt last summer. The committee was in structed to investigate the alleged dis charge from civil offices of certain ex-sol diers of Rhode Island inj violation of the revised statutes,which direct that wounded soldiers aud sailors shall be given prefer ence in making appointment to civil of fice. The report states that the testimony shows beyond dispute that the statutes in question had been violated, and that dis charged Union soldiers were supplanted wholly without cause. The majority say the civil service of this government will never be reformed and purified so long as those charged with its administration vio late its plainest 'principles in appoint ments. Mere promulgation of civil ser vice rales, orders and regulations is farce, while the officials upon whom they are intended to operate are incapable or wil fully and contemptuously ignore them. The cure of the evil rests with Congress and the appointing power, and the respon sibility for the condition of affairs as dis closed by the witness, fastens itself there abo. Tlie report is accompanied by a bill which provides that no employe, government contractor nor person holding any office under the government shall con tribute money or any other valuable thing for political purposes. Third, that no head of department dr any superior officer shall collect or allow any one to collect money or valuable thing from any government employe. It also provides that no national bank which is a United States depository, no railroad or steamboat company which has received land grants, bonds or subsidies, Ta itEsf SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR!
