Xha New Yotk Bon, of Saturday, has a very
aensibla and apropos article on this aobjeot,
which wo heartily endorse. The editor gives
•eeeral epeeimen slanaaa from hymns be re-
oently beard song by a choir of a thousand
children at the Brooklyn Blnk, on some anni
versary occasion, which are simply idiotic
bosh. For example, these two:

The person who wrote this stuff would cer-
tainly go to Besren if being the possemor of s
wooden heed were e pre-requisite.
And too many of oar Sanday school books,
.1—. wr ml j say, are as liable to criticism and
oswnra as the bjmos from which snob quota
tion, u the shows are made. Those who write
seem to know nothing whatever a boat real
boy and girls, nor even of hnmsn nature. Their
premia#, moat generally, ia that there are only
two til-— of children in the world—the
diagnatiDgly aanctimonona, and the absolutely
and unqualifiedly wicked. Tbeir good girls are
usually only a very little lower than angels,
and thair good boys, each mean, sneaking,
hypocrites as are never seen anywhere outside
the pages of these trashy Sunday school books.
And their wicked boy ia as great a earrieatnre
aa the good boy. He la as great a monstrosity
as waa ever painted in a tan oent blood and
thunder novel—though, on the last page, he ia
frequently suddenly transformed into a said,
and sent straight to Heaven.
We really think it is abont time to purge our
Sunday School shelves of inch stuff. It is nn-
wboleaome and pernicious in the extreme, be
cause It gives those whose minds arc peculiarly
plastic, faiao impressions in a guise, and at a
time, when it is peculiarly important that the
very reverse should be the case. One of the
strongest objections nrged against novel reed
ing ia that it ia calculated to give young persons
false views of life, and to nnfit them for the
reoeption and relish of other and more whole
some mental food. The same objection, it
seems to ns, applies and with equal, if not
greater force lo the dess of Sunday School liter-
•tore we have alluded lo. What child, after
baooming accustomed to the unnatural diet set
forth iu thiasortof Sunday Schoolbooks, can rest
satisfied with food of a plainer and more whole
some description I As well expect an average
boy, under the spell of his first introduction to
deer old Boblmion Crusoe, to cheerfully torn
his baek upon that delightful person, and greed
ily smbraoe the disgusting imps that lark and
grin through the mnltiplicatlon table and deci
mol fractions? As one of the ingest of the
Bomsn philosophers remarked: It's “agin
nelnr." Let these whom it most concerns, and
who ean work a reformation in this matter, aet
about it at unco. There i* urgent need and
ample room for a thorough one.
“Jlotrey Abunrlnnl!”
The Nashville Banner, or Sanday, says:
In the States Bomb of ns money seems to be
more abundant than at any lime ainoe the war,
though last season wee anything bnt a prosper-
one one ia a pecuniary point of view. It was
expected that there vroqld be a heavy drain upon
New York to move the ootton crop, but tbna far
there baa been soiroely any Southern demand
for enrrency, though abont 1100,000 bales of the
crop have been marketed.
Hr. Banner oome down this way and point
ont just a little of this abundance, for we can
not see it. Our fixed impression is that money
in Central Georgia, ia as yet not very mnob
more plentiful than it was in mid summer. The
faot ia nntil factors' acceptances are disposed
of and debts cancelled all round, it takes very
little meaty to move the crop. It is a general
transfer of olsims, tbst sets very little money
afloat in the country. Wo hope the remainder
of the crop will set enrronoy afloat and esse the
pinch a little.
THE GEORGIA rKF.S’t.
We have received the second issue of the
Hancock Sentinel, a new paper just established
at Sparta, which promises to be, when oonrid
erably better printed than this number, a cred
iteblo addition to Georgia journalism. Fmm it
wo copy these items:
“Axidxxt."—In Diiacy, on last Tuesday, a
Radical negro waa thrown over the bead of a
mule. When reaching tbe ground bis first rep'y
waa, “you dtrn'd eld Democrat."
Ox Thursday night a colored individual of this
neighborhood, while engaged in the attempt
surreptitiously to increase her supply of winter
fad, loaded herself so heavily that, on her re
turn, while crossing a gutter, her strength gave
way, and she fell into it, sevsrely injuring, if
not breskieg ber back.
Ox Friday, tbe 10th taut. Hr. Thomas Hob
by killed e young man named Ben. Roberta,
both eilizans of this oounty. We understand
that tbe difficulty arose from an old grudge on
tha part of Roberta. The affair happened in the
public toed. Tbe body of Roberts was taken
abont five miles from tbe place of tbe killing,
where an inquest was held. Tbe verdict of the
Coroner's jury, we hear, ia justifiable homicide.
Tbe foreign shipments of cotton from Savan,
nab, on Saturday, were 5,711 bales of nplands-
valucd at §120,895, and 22 bales of sea island,
valued at $4,478.
The Savannah Fair follows pretty nearly in
our track in the matter of outside shows. There
will be a ballooa ascension, a band belonging to
a Federal infantry regiment, Weston, the hop-
skip and jumper, who calls it walking, with the
addition of a race between five Apache (?) In-
The Great Problem of the Future
George Wilkes haa written a letter from Paris,
In whloh he relate! and reviews at consider able
length the great politico-labor movements in
Enropo and this oonntry. He says that the
working cl eases of the world will bo the supreme
power of tbe fntare. The relations of eapital
and labor are to be tbo great questions divid-
log parties here and elsewhere, on which the
New York Commercial remarks :
We have boriod slavery, we have settled the
problem of secession, and now we are to face
the iaiuee ratted by the mighty labor move
ment whoee violent and revolutionary princi
ples are represented by the Internationale
Society. Bnt behind this dangerous organiza
tion arc tha aspirations of workingmen who
would not aohieve their ends by disorder, and
to whose solicitations the politicians of the
future cannot be indifferent The “Inter-
nationals'' may perish of tbeir own folly, bnt
the problems arising from the relations of capi
tal and labor will clamor for solution, and will
be, in point of importance to some future
generation of onr people, what the slavery
question haa been lo no.
Boons' Oarmx.—We aee from an advertise
ment in this edition, that Ur. U. It Rogers la
selling this candy, from faia factory on Cherry
street in lots of 200 pounds and upwards, at 17
cents, and in smaller quantities down to boxes
of 27. pound* at 18 oents a pound. Rogers’ can
dy ia very fins—always bright lustrous, bard
and brittle, and may be relied npoa at made
from pare anger and free from injurious color
ing matter. He docs a large wholesale business
and wall deserves success.
Tns WxaTnn.—The easterly atorm which
waa reported in New York on Monday, reached
ns yesterday, and we had a very inclement day,
while New Yotk was rejoioing in all the glories
of bright aanahinc and tha Grand Dnoai recep
tion. The Great Fair at Savannah opened yea-
day nnder very depressing circumstances, as to
weather, bnt we, at tbia writing, are glad to
hail rJI the angaries fer bright skies daring the
remainder of the week.
Snawanam ix Notxmbz*.- At Dr. O. Cot-
lias' realdenoe in Maoon, on Monday, eighteen
guest* were furnished with aa many ample
plates of strawberries wbioh bad ripened in tbe
open sir. What ia remarkable, the strawberries
were of large site—some of them an iooh and a
quarter in diamater, and they were also full
flavored and sweet—not the nsnal acrid or
taateleaa things that these berries are apt to be
when maturing ont of season.
A Gxxit Finn ix CnxnLOTTx, North Carolina,
broke ont et 2 o'clock last Saturday morning,

There were three robberies and attempts
thereat at Savannah last week, in one of which
Mr. Augustas Baric, druggist, lost some valua
ble papers, $20 in silver and $75 in greenbacks.
Speaking of the illiberal proscriptions of Con
gress embraced in the Fourteenth Amendment
and tbe enforcement act, which make ell who
held office before the war, and “aided tha re
bellion,” ineligible and liable to prosecution
and fine if they run for offioe, the Athens Bitt
ner say*:
Wc are utterly opposed to the aentment too
commonly expressed, that holds in light estimate
tbe wisdom, experience and virtue of the class
of men thus proscribed. “Down with the old
leaders, and give the yonng men a chance,” ia
the agrarian cry of groundings, who in oompe-
tion with men of brains oonld never rise above
mediocrity. Wo must consent to see those we
have heretofore honored and trusted give place
to men of inexperience, beeanse it in the stern
demand of power; bnt let os never admit the
wisdom or justice of the demand by endorsing
it, and thereby cast reproach upon those who
have devoted their lives to the pnblio serrioe.
“We have only to compare the laws and the ad.
ministration of the laws, in the days when these
'old leaders' were in office, with tbe wreck, end
waste, and plunder which have followed their
disp'acement to have convincing evidenee that
the change has boon disastrous. The ‘old lead-
firs’ are the jewels of onr political heritage. Let
ha cherish them, and not out them aside with
contempt, while we are compelled to accept the
pinchbeck regime wbioh God in his wisdom has
permittted to affliot ns."
We aee from the last issue of the Southern
Christian Advocate that Rev. F. Milton Kenne
dy, who waa reoently chosen to succeed Dr.
Mycti as editor of that paper, has accepted the
position.
Frank James, a Grant voter, of Atlanta,
stole a coat on Saturday, waa married Sanday,
and took dinner in jail on Monday. Such ex
press speed is enough to make James’ head
swim.
Mr*. Jonathan Milner, of Griffin, died Mon
day morning.
Wc find the following items in the Monroe
Advertiser, of yeeterday:
Duboucsx. Plot.—Wo have recently came
in possession of the facts relative to the whole
sale attempt at arson on the premises of Mr.
K. C. Taylor, rear Golaparehee, on the night
of the 12th. Abont 10 o'clock fire was discov
ered nnder the main dwelling, bnt fortunately
in time to prevent any seriona damage to the
building. A few moments after it was oxtin-
gniebed, the alarm was again sounded, when it
was fonnd that the incendiaries had set fire to
the crib, whioh was filled with corn, fodder
and oats. Within five minotes the bnilding
with its contents would hsve been in ashes.
It is believed that this diabolical plot was insti.
gated by Henry Bali and his sons, Ben and
(Joorgo, freedoms, who wore discharged by
Mr. Taylor, daring the summer, for neglect of
doty.
Cbop Statzmest.— 1 The crops are generally
gathered in this eonnty. The area in corn was
abont tbe same as last year, with about one-half
the yield. Dnring July and August it was be
lieved that tbe cotton crop would prove a fail
ure, bnt tho receipts at the warehouses indicate
a half crop. This, of course, leaves the financial
condition of the eonnty anything but satisfac
tory. It is true, many fanners show a clean
balance sheet, bnt a majority executed obliga
tions they are nnable to meet, and in many in-
atanors onr merchants will be forced to grant
further indulgence, perhaps nntil naxt season.
Good Famono.—Colonel A. Leary made
twenty-one bushels of oom per acre, and
seven bales of cotton to the hand, without the
use of fertilizers. Mr. W. G. McCook made
seven bales of cotton, weighing 480 pounds
each, forty bushels of corn, one hundred and
fifty bushels of potatoes, besides peas, etc.,
without assistance.
At a sale in Spalding eonnty last week corn
sold at 76 cents per bushel, cash, and $1 per
bnahel on twelve months time.
Wo are indebted to the Atlanta Constitution,
of yeeterday, for these paragraphs:
MxsTxators Mutmxa.—On Saturday morning
last, abont fonr o’clock, the body of a yonng
man named George Jordan, about nineteen
years of age, was fonnd on the railroad track
just below the depot and opposite the oolored
church in Ifewnan. Tha cow catcher struck
him on tho head, and one arm was broken. We
learn that physicians who were summoned, and
made an examination, give it as their opinion
tbst he was killed and placed on the track as he
had other wonnds on his person not inflicted by
the engine or cars. We have not learned tbe
result of tbe Coroner's inquest.
AiutESTxn.—Three men from Campbell coun
ty by tbe name of Grizxard were brought np
before United States Commissioner W. B. Smith
yesterday, charged with violating the Kn-klnx
bill by beating an old negro man. The old gen
tleman—A. J. Grizxard—was released on bond
of $1,000, and the cither two committed to await
a bearing on Friday next. The oolored man is
Still confined to his bed.
Diath ar ax E-thiable Ladt.—Mrs. J. R.
Wylie, wife of Colonel J. R. Wylie, one of onr
most prominent merchants, died last Sanday
morning. We learn that her remains were taken
to Gordon oonnty for interment.
The Atlanta Era, of yesterday, says:
Bars wick asu Albast Rau.eoad.—We are
glad to learn that the reorganization of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad is complete,
and that tbia work of internal improvement
will soon be perfected. Some change* have
been made in the Board of Directors. Mr. Ste
phenson. President of the Ooean National Bank
of New York, was elected one of the direotors,
to fill the vac racy occasioned by the resignation
of Lewis Scofield, Esq., of this tire. Claries
L. Frost, E-q.. was elected President of the
road. The new organization assumes in fall all
the liabilities of the road, and trill pay all debts
that may have accrued. Furthermore, errange-
ments have been made by which sufficient funds
will be available for the immediate completion
of the road, not only to Cuthbert, but also to-
Enfaula, Alabama.
Tbe Atlanta Son, of yeeterday, has the fol
lowing:
Axcthxb Uxsrm.ro Itdc —When H. t
Kimball sold the Opera Home to the State of
Georgia there was a mortgage of $60,000 upon
it—which mortgage is atilt unpaid. Thia mort
gage waa for that amount of money loaned to
Kimball by the North Western Mutual Life In
surance Company, to enable him to pay the
S rchaao money, and assist in the bnilding.
at mortgage is stiil unsatisfied. Not a cent
of the principal has ever been paid, and the in
terest on it since May last ia daa. Bullock knew
that mortgage was against the property when it
was purchased by tbe Legislature. Kimball
knew it was unsatisfied when he deeded
it to tho State, warranting it to be free
from' all liens. Bullock paid Robert If.
Brown $500 to investigate tbo title, and
acoepicd his opinion tint the title
goad. Mr. Brown must have known of the
mortgage, for hia law partner at the time. Judge
Hopkins, knew it. The Life Insurance Company
named, of which Dr. Wm. H. White is tbe effi
cient agent in this ci'y. loaned thia money here,
and in addition to tha eeccrity of the mortgage
on the property, required the building on it to
be kept insured, in the sum of $60,000, and the
K ilicies properly assigned to the Northwestern
atari. Bullock baa been keeping np this fire
insnrance, paying the premimna with the peo
ple's money, and specifying on tho face of tbe
policies, that the loss, if any should occur, must
be paid to the company holding this mortgage.
Another fact is significant. The deed made by
Kimball to the State of Georgia has never been
recorded, unless it haa been done within a few
days past.
Titn New Oiu.eans Levees.—The Time* says:
The broken levees above Carro'.tcn present
just now a very threatening aspect. In two
places the embankments have tumbled into the
and a mile or two of new levee must be
constructed within forty or fifty days or the city
°. f Orleans will be subject to overflow at
the first rise of tho winter fl rods. The danger
is no imaginary one. Two hundred thousand
ptcp.e andtwo hundred millions of property
ate in jeopardy if this leveo he not speedily
ana securely reconstructed. It has been com
menced by the Levee Company, but the pro
gress is not satisfactory, and the line staked out
is not considered by any mean* sufficiently ex
tended.

Speaker Smith in the chair.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Heidt
Journal of yesterday read and approved.
Mr. Renfroo introduced a bill to ch&Dge the
time of holding the Superior Courts in the
Middlo Circuit: and also, a bill to incorporate
the city of Sanderevtile, which were read the
first time.
On motion of Mr. Gray, the rules were sus
pended lo take np a resolution providing for
tbe appointment of a joint committee to in
quire into the legality of the lease of peniten
tiary eonviots.
On motion of Mr. Goldsmith, Mr. Gray’s
resolution was laid on the table.
Tbe unfinished business, to-wit, the bill to
appoint commissioners to investigate the af
faire of this State, was resumed.
Mr. Phillips continued his argument. He
said that Mr. Scott’s bill wonld organize a com
mission, with the powers of a court, and if
tbe gentlemen proposed as members of that
commission arc obnoxious to the 14th Amend
ment, they oonld not set; that he is against the
new departuro and the 14th Amendment, but
he is unwilling to see anything done by this
Homo which might resnit in damage to our
State. He nrged the adoption of hi* substitute
providing for the appointment of a Joint Com
mittee from the Senate and Honse to make.the
proposed investigation.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, said it is (he dnty
of this Legislature to make this investigation,
and the people expect it of ns. The commis
sion proposed by the bill would constitute a sort
of court, and if any of its members were dis
qualified under the fourteenth amendment, or
should refuse to act, Mr. Conley would make
appointments to fill vacancies. He, therefore,
fovored the snbstitute.
Mr. Davis, of Newton, thought that none but
the guiltv parties can imagine tbe meguitude of
the frauds which have been perpetrated against
tho State. They ongfat to be ferreted ont and
exposed, and ho favored tho commission because
those composing it would have more time than
members of tbe General Assembly.
Mr. MoMillan said that tbe charges of villiaDy
againt high officials wore as thick in the land as
the locusts of Egypt, and such charges call for
immediate investigation. Tbe dnty of making
it fells npon the abonldera of tbe members of
this General Assembly.
Mr. Fon said be was at first opposed to Mr.
Scott's bill, bnt is now in favor of it. All ad
mit that an investigation ought to be nude.
Who should do it is the only question. The
sessions of this General Assembly are too
short to mike a thorough investigation through
committees, therefore Mr. Soott's bill should
be passed. If the commissioners to be ap
pointed by the bill are ineligible nnder the
fourteenth amendment then it would equally ap
ply to an Irishman, not a Swede or other person
sent to Europe to bring immigrants to Georgia.
Mr. Jackson called the previous question.
The call was not sustained.
Mr. Baoon was opposed to the passage of the
bill; did not admit that members of this Legis
lature are wanting in ability or experience.
Tbey were not sent here because their superiors
are ineligible. Again, it is true the investiga
tion cannot be finished before the end of the
session; bat the committee can continue tbeir
labors after adjournment, and its members
could oertainly spare as much time as lawyers
who stand at the head of the profession.
Mr. Johnson, of Jefferson, opposed the bill.
Tbe members of the Legislature are competent
to mike this investigation—were elected to do
it, and their constituents expect them to do
their fnli duty.
Mr. Riley also opposed the bill. The mem.
here of the General Assembly can do tho work,
and he did not see the use of getting outside
men to do it.
Mr. Hillyer said that persons of all parties
wanted this investigation rusde. but members of
both political parties should be appointed on
the committee. If tha charges are true be, for
one, wonld bo glad to see punishment fall on
the guilty.
Mr. Peoples favored the original bill. He
wanted on the commission a good lawyer, a good
banker, and a good merchant, and suggested the
names of Phillip Cl* j ton, Juntos Hi.'Iyer and
John A. D oane.
Mr. Phillips accepted the substitute offered
by Mr, Simmons, of Gwinnett, for his subs' itnte.
Mr. Fierce argued in favor of tbe substitute
No assurance had been given that tbe com
missionere mentioned in the bill wonld serve,
and though he had no respect for the bastard
amendments to the Constitution of the Unite I
States, wonld follow ont the policy of this
Honse and respect said amendments as law, till
repeal. Then the ineligibniiy of these g-n-
tlemen would prevent the fell discharge of
thi* dnty.
Mr. Dell favored the snbstilu'o, but said it
would almost reconcile him to vote for the bill
if he knew the gentlemen named therein oonld
and wonld serve.
Mr. Anderson was neither for the bill mJr the
substitutes; be was glad to hear compliments to
the intelligence of members of the Legislature,
and was not willing to admit that all the intel-
iigenre of tbe State is in men nnder disabilities.
He favored the appointment of a small Joint
Committee who would be authorized to employ
an expert banker, a skillful lawyer, and an ex
perienced railroad man to ferrit ont these vii-
ianies. This idea, he said, had bsen sag
gfreed to him by Mr. Wood, of Walker.
Mr. 8co t ooncioded the argument in favor of
hia bilL Mr. Riley called the previous ques

Mrs. Polk was l osing better than at the last

honors,” recognized gentlemen presented more
than a year ago, and not seen since. Snch
powers of memory are truly wonderfuL But
Mrs. Polk is altogether a most extraordinary
woman, extraordinary alike for her mental and
moral qualities, her beauties of person, still
lingering like sweet memories of her charm
ing youth, and her excellence in all
those graces that adorn the life of the no
ble and good. Wino, cake, fruit and other
delicate refreshments, intermixed with the
smiles and pleasant voices of a few entertain
ing ladies, with tho portraits of the great look

the occasion exceedingly delightful, and to
imbed the recollection thereof ineffaeoably into
tbe memory of all who had the good fortune to
be present. Bith Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Fall

often observed in ladies of rank.

JL Pleasant Little story.
Two months ago an aged widow in Massachu
setts received a telegram that her only son was
dying at Lawrence, Kansas. Notwithstanding
per extreme age and feeble health, she most
see her son. She undertook the journey. The
train was delayed. When it arrrived at Utica
she was taken violently ilL A yonng physician
assisted her to a hotel, and provided everything
he could for her coinfort. Her detention by
sickness and moderate means wonld not have
allowed her to pursue her journey but for the
kindness of the attending stranger. He paid
her bills, assisted her to the care, and accompa
nied her to Buffalo.
At parting she requested his address. The
other day this stranger wa* seated in his office
at Albany. A stranger entered, and after some
conversation presented the doctor with a gov
ernment bond for $500, as a reward for his
kindness to tho old lady, saying: “She was my
mother. She died a few days after reaching
me, and I recovered. Had it not been for
your kindness she wonld have died on the road.
1 am her son, who was sick. I am a banker;
bnt money can never repay the debt I owe to
you for your generous kindness to my dear,
good mother. God bless you!”
A Scottish widow in the time of King
George was one day in Spring seen by the
clerk of her parish crossing the church-yard
with a watering-pot and a bundle. “Ah,
Mistress Mactavish,” said the clerk, “what's
yer business, art’ sio tike gear as that y'are
carryin’?" “Ah, weel. Mr. Miclachlan," re
plied the widow, “I’m just goin’ to my
gudeman’s grave. I've got some hayseeds in
my bundle, tne which I'm goin' to sow npon it;
and tbe water in the can is just togi’e’em a
Spring tike!” “The seeds winn* want the
watering,” rejoiced the clerk, “tbey’U Spring
finely o’themselves," ‘-That may well be,” re
joined the widow; “bnt ye diona ken that my
gudeman, as he lay a deeiog, just got me to
make promise that I’d never marry again till
the grass had grown aboon his grave. And,
as I’ve had a gaud offer made me bat yestreen,
ye see, 1 dinna tike to break my promise, or to
be kept a lone »ilow, as ye see me!” The
minister's aide-de-camp looked on the widow
indeed with a mirthful expression. “Water
him wed, widow,” said tho clerk; “Mactavish
aye was droutby!”
A Ptucricii. Test or the Naebow Gauge.—
The first practical application of the narrow
gauge principle in railroad construction, on a
plan sufficiently extensive to test satisfactorily
the merits of tbe system, is now making in the
case of tho Denver and Rio Grande Railroad,
now completed and opened for traffic for a dis
tance of 76 miles between Denver and Colorado
City, in Colorado. Thia section is not yet folly
equipped, owing to the delay which has been
experienced in obtaining the narrow gauge
rolling stock, bnt it will be within a few weeks
at the farthest, and the experiment will then be
subjected to the test of practical trial. On the
results of this trial will probably depend the
popular decision in favor of or against the gen-
eral adoption of the narrow gauge system.—Iron
