The Mutation.
The bssioeit end sgrienttanl situation m
ikii put of Georgia Is, on the whole, not dis-
Ntngisg. The grass crops produced thiff year
sill earns nearer an sdeqnste supply for the
ttnaera than any year sines the wsr. The oot-
loo orop is threatened everywhere by tbe cat
erpillar, bnt tie danger it leas than it was at
lUfl time Ust jeer. We believe that the cotton
project of tbo section trading with Maoon will
U eootldcrably increased over that of laat year.
Than, at to tho financial condition, that Is
alnteproTsd. The people havo been working
bard and prsetiaiog a moro rigid economy.
Trads baa been light all throngh summer, and
U vas oocipolled to be light by the scarcity of
coney and the restriction of crodit. The
pUntert, we frost and belie re, are leas in debt
tbin it thii time list year, ind will go Into

A VixniaalLT Faria.—The New York Stock
£«bang« was thrown into a fever of exoito-
want on Thursday morning, by tbo ronowil of
maun of the aerioas Illness of Commodore
Toolerbllt, ind MR latter by reports that he
via dying. For a time there was a great rash
1* sad stock,, and Western Unlon was rattled
Ion, assisted by the bears, from $9$ to 87; ;
Uka Shore fell from 93to9t|; Harlem yielded
tothe pressure from 130*1 to 130J and New York
Central from 104£ to 103$. The dealings in
Vanderbilt stock were large and attended with
exsitemsnL Inquiry showed that there was no
taodatlon for the rumored illness of the Com-
Bodare, and there wjls a sharp reaction from
ta lowest point of the day.
Seniors accident occurred dating a recent
ibaoderstorm at Oil City, Ta. The lightning
•imek an oil tank, capable of holding 10,000
tonala of oil, but ojntaiuicg about 3,100 at
the time of the occurrence. Tho bolt struck
toa top of the tank at tho edge and ran oom-
PUtsly ironed the penphery of the top, catting

The Ust RiaMer *f Use Plans Har
pen.
Tba Harpera of New York City, are, as onr
readers know, men not only of the purest lojlty
bnt also cf a fervent piety that mike* them
shining lights, even among the elect of the
Young Men'a Christian Association, and the*
saints and “Christian statsamsa" of that highly
fsvored country. They go to church regularly,
msks long prayer*, and oeatrlbut* liberally to
all agencies for evangelizing the heathens.
They are, in abort, truly good men after the
Deacon Smith—of the Cincinnati Gazette—
pattern.
They also publish “a Journal of eiviUzitlon"
called “Harper’s Weeekly,” the circulation of
which is larger, perhaps, than any similar paper
ever printed in thia country. It ia perhaps the
moat malignant and venomous assailant of the
Sontb, and the Southern people, to be fonnd on
the continent, and takes a delight almost fiend
ish in taunting, reviling and defaming every
thing and everybody—ezoept the negroes, seal
lawaga and carpet-bag thieves—South of the
Potomso river. Scarcely, a number is issued
that does not oontain an insnlt to, or a libel by
pen or pencil of the respectable and represents
tlvo people of this Motion. It knows no let np
or thidsw of tnrning in its devilish war, and
seems to grow more devilish aa the events and
passions of the war recede, and appear likely to
cool. And yet Southern people—Georgians
patronize it—actually pay their money to read
its abuse of them.
In the last iaane of this sitsnio sheet we find
something that appears to tu should have wide
circnlation at least in Georgia. It says in thia
State no paper is permitted to exist that will
not eld in the perseontlon of Republicans, white
and black, and thus uphold a tyranny that ia
driving labor and oapital from the State. That
is ils last and boldest slander. The editor
knows that Bbpnblloan papers have been pub
lished in Georgia ever ainoe the war, some of
which would never have been “permitted to
exist” in any otheroonntry in tbe world bnt the
Sontb, filled aa they were with the vilest abase
of the people and the moat inoendiary, inflam
mable appeals to the baMSt paaaions of thane'
groes against their former masters. He knows
that theao papers have not only been “permit
ted to exist” by ihoee whom they dally insulted
and villified, bnt that they have been petted
and fostered by Stale and National subsidies
aud plunder. They havo been made the gSI
clal organs of tbe rulers of tbe people whose
pockets were plnndered in order that they
might live. AU this is history, and yet, in its
face, this journal of civilization—this organ of
these pions men—deliberately falsifies the reoord
ini niters a slander so base, so grots, and so
ntterly nntonble os to almost exoite onr wonder.
It seems to ns tbit those of onr peoplo, who
mnit have tbelr literitnre illustrated by cats
stolen from English periodicals, had belter pay
their money for some other journal that does
not so systematically and gleefully slander
them. If tbelr stomachs crave snob food, anrely
they_can find it somewhere else not ao highly
seasoned with insnlt and libel.

TIte Dlslrtmed Negroes of Ihe District
Laat week a memorial aigned by C00 negro
laborers, in the employ of the Government of
tbe Dlatrlot of Colombia, was forwarded to
President Grant at Long Branob, setting forth
that they have not been paid their wages sinos
the first of Maroh lest, and are indebted for
honao rent and food, nnd praying the Presi
dent to oompei the Dlstriot Government to pay
them. Tbey represent that they are alLKepnb-
beans, and hare voted the Repnblloan ticket at
every election slnoe they beoama freedmen,
and think the President onght to stand by them
in their distress, and proteot them against tbe
Dlstriot soalpers.
Let it be considered that these negroes were
collooted by tbe Government from tbe fields of
Virginia as “leordt of the nation" and domieil-
ated there—fed for months by “do bnro” on
rations of coffee, tobaooo, pork and navy beans
in order to regnlate the politics of Washington
city and tho Dlstriot—that finally, when “do
bnro” lapsed a Diatriot Government and a wild
and magnificent system of iooal improvements
were adopted in order to giro these “wards”
employment, whereby a pnblio debt of abont
twenty millions has been created, and thongh
tho white property-boldeis are ground to the
dost by tbe tax collector, yet snoh extravagant
waste and profligacy reign that the negro la
borers employed in grading tbe streets have
been nnable for five months to oolleet tbelr
wages. Let all these points be considered in
order to appreciate tbe position.
A. Hundred Tons ot Gold Coin. .
The New York San cbronioles st length the
arrival of fonr tons of gold ooin on Tnesday
last, from the Snbtreasnry of San Franciaoo to
the Snblreasnry In New York. It was packed
in twelvo iron chests and was guarded by nine
armed men. The gold oonaiated of one han
dle] bags of double eagles, each containing
$20,000, and on its rceeipit at th* Treasury each
bag was emptied and contents weighed. One
million ot the anm was in coin fresh from the
San Franciaoo mint. The San says at the close
of bnslness on Tnesday tbe balanee of gold eoin
in the New York Sabtresanry was $48,522,-
(143.79—eqnal in weight to abont one hundred
tons. In addition to this, the same despoaitory
contained ten million dollars in gold bars—
$400,000 in silver coin and $32,000,0C0 in pa
per currency.
There are two treasure chambers on different
sides of the main floor in the Sabtresanry.
Each^tss walls of massive atone eight feet thick,
bnilt in two parallel sections. Tba intarme-
dlate space is filled with boxes of ohilled iron
packed with balls of the same material abont an
inch la diameter. These will Inrn the most
powerful drill ever employed by burglars. The
floor is covered with iron plates and rests on
solid masonry, which extends thirty feet helpw
the surface of the sidewalks. The five iron
doors are secured by Mveral heavy locks.
These doors weigh about two and a half tons
each. Tbo chambers are divided into iron
compartments. In the west side chamber the
gold is deposited, each oompartmant oontalnlng
$300,000 when filled. The gold is packed in
small canvas bags.
BrosVlyii “Civilization”—Scene m a
Meeting ofthe Board of Education.
Tho Herald, of Wednesday, gives an account
of oertain [ root©dings at the last meeting of
the Brooklyn Board of Education whioh “bangs
Bannagher. h.gnt icmtle t..obera who had
passed a enooessfol examination were to be ap-
pointed, and whan the name of one or Ow, -
Miss Cook, who had averaged 90 per cent at the
examination was rssohed, a Mr. Wm. Harp,
—familiarly known in the Board as the “Harp of
s Thousand Strings”—j umped np and said Miss
Oook must not be appointed, as he had a friend
who would just fit the plaoe, although she had
averaged only 71 per cent, at the examination.
This kicked np a tremendous bobbery, and tbe
compliments of the season were energetically
exchanged between Ihe Harp and a man named
Raid, who resisted th© Harp’* motion, which
was finally lost Reid then moved Mias Cook •
appointment, wtieh was also lost for wont of ■
two-thirds vote. Thia ao fired the coble rage
of Reid that he called one of the members a
aneak and a liar, and told him he wouldn't trust
him near his (R's.) ben roost. The meeting
finally broke np amid tbe greatest uproar. Tbe
Herald says some members or the Board can
scarcely read or write—which ia not all an un
common thing In acme of tbe radically recon
structed Southern States.

Pistol Paaoncz IT OoLtnoca.—The Enqui
rer of Friday has the following:
Messrs. & B. Barnard and James W. Barber
bad a dispute yesterday afternoon la front of
Johnson’s hat store, on Broad atraet, abont a
dram which Mr. Barnard claimed, and had sued
out a possetsory warrant to obtain it from the
possession of tne Colombo* Guards' band. Thia
oaae came before Jaitioe Bhlvers, whose decis
ion left the dram where it was, and involved
Mr. Barnard is eosta. Seme words passed be
tween Barber and Barnard on tbe snbjeot, when
Barber, becoming excitsd, hit Barnard in the
face with his fist. Thia enraged Barnard, who
draw a pistol and snapped it onee ia dose prox
imity to Berber a abdomen. Barber then start
ed np the attest, and while he was going la the
direction of Koonay A Warner'a store, Barnard
fired thre* shots after him, neither of which
took effect. The affair create! a considerable
excitement, and drew together a big orowd on
the sidewalk. Barnard, we hear, signified an
intention to give himaelf np. As the affair will
probably come np for Inveatigation before tbe
courts, we forbear commentr.
Mr. B. F. Siblzt, of Dongherty county, while
In the aot of mounting his horse on yesterday
week, was thrown down and had the neck of his
thigh bone fractured.
JorsxousTio.—The Albany News, under this
head, remarks as follows:
Last Sunday the Atlanta Constitution went
into another extraordinary eight page spasm,
and illustrated its wonderful enterprise by donb-
ling fonr columns of reading matter and fonr
of advertisements. Who ssya there's no gam
in tbe special engine stunner ? On Wednesday
the special engine eena&tion collapsed, and the
Atlanta papers failed to reaoh Albany.
Tax same paper says on last Tuesday mom-
ing Charles Buntin, son of Bar. William Bon'
tin, of Worth, and Albert Faircloth, were on
their way to a protraoted Methodist meeting at
Fnokett’s Chapel, on ths Tronpvilie road. In
a pretty piece of road tbey oonolnded to try the
spaed of their horses. At tbe top of their speed
Bantin's horse flaw the track, and throwing ths
rider high np above the saddle against a tree,
killed him instantly.
Mb. J. A. Bbzxxxb, superintendent of the
XI diatriot of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, with headquarters at Augusta, has
boen appointed general superintendent of the

Macox Txlzoexfh and Mzsszxazr..—This
valued exoh&age d >ee not reaoh os nntil twenty-
four hours after its pnbliostion. We are st s
loss to nnderstsnd why it does not come to
hand the seme day it is printed. We trust onr
friends of the Txlxgxavk will look into this
matter. Wa ao not like to ask it, bnt if there be
no other mide of relief, we ehall be oompelled
to inaint opon their running a speoial engine
from Maoon to Augusta.—Conititutionalist.
This will be looked Into and remedied. The
'speoial engine business,however,has made too
many folks siok at their financial stomoohs to
offer ns any encouragement to go into it. If
nome parties oonld get oat of it as easily as they
went in, they woald get down on their knees
and eingsongz of fervent thanksgiving.
Sdoozssful Fasscixo.—Under this head the
Hamilton Visitor illustrates what those words
mean, as follows:
Mr. J. H. Booker, who lives five miles north
west of Hamilton, started after the war without
money or lind. In 1SC6 be ran two plows, and
made five bales of cotton sod corn to do him.
Ho bos been increasing each year, and tells ns
that he expects to make this year six-.y biles of
cotton and two thousand bnihsls of oorn. He
made three hundred bushels of wheat this sea
son. He had oorn to sell last year, and will
have it for sale again this year, and also two
hundred bushels of wheat. He has plenty of
hogs for meat. He nsss very little gnane, and
attributes his success to the money saved by
not baying oorn, meat and gnano. He says
that tboee farmers who bay oorn and meat are
getting poorer every year. He knows some who
ran eight plows when he wss only rnnning two,
and now they are rnnning two, while he is run
ning eight. Mr. Booker owns firs hundred
sores of land, bought since the war, and, to
gether with the stock, paid for as bought. AU
this has been wrought by tho legitimate profits
of the farm.
Oatzbpillabs axd Caopi, Gxxziullt, nt
Miami Oouxrr.—We find the following in the
OamiUa Enterprise:
The opinon of onr people in refsrenoc to the
oaterpillar, ia jnst abont as ooeflioting a* the
reports of a bard fought battle, after tbe fight
had ended. Some are of the opinion that there
will be a clean sweep of the ootton, by the
worm, by tbe 25th; some think that the same
resnlt will be accomplished, bnt not before the
1st of September; some think that tbe detrac
tion will not be general but only partial, and
that not before ootton has mode at least two-
thirds of a crop; while there are a few that say
the crop will not be materially affected by the
oaterpillar. Corn, we honestly believe, was never
better thanltia this year. Wenotice tnatevery
where, where the land has boen thoroughly cul
tivated, that Ihe oorn is jmt as good as the soU
will natnrally prodnee. The cane crop is also
very good, and should it not be damaged by the
excesnive rains, wn think it will far exceed an
average yield. We learn that tbe potato crop
is excellent, indeed, bnt not having had the
privilege of testing the faot, we oan only speak
as ws have been informed by the planters. So
far ss onr observation extends, tbe pes crop
promises an ibnndant yield. Sinoe writing the
above we understand from the very best au
thority, that the caterpillars have completely
riddled tbe coiton in a large portion ot the
oonnty, and that in a very few days longer,
there will probably not be a leaf left on the
stalks. Bnt few have need ths worm destroyer
in this connly, xnd those only experimentally.
Hon. A, H. Stxphxns was in GainesviUs last
Thursday, on his way to Porter's Springs, in
Lumpkin oonnty.
Thx Gainesville Eigle says it is believsd that
the last rail will be laid, and the last spike
driven on the Air Line railway, lo-morrow.

to the forest, meandar throngh the braih, get

Enterprise:
J^Tocng isdy in this county arose the other

A bale of notion was sold in Covington on
Monday for 15 cents a pound, which was pink*
ed, ginned and packed in the fall of 1S63. The
rope and bagging was of Confederate manufac
ture and presented a novel appearance. The
owner had been offered 42 cents per pound for
ten bales of ootton of the same crop in 1865,
bnt held it with the expectation of getting fifty
oent*. One by one the bales were sold at prioes
much lower than tbs first offer, until on Mon
day the Ust one was hauled from the old abed
and let go for 15 cents. Tbe staple wm beau

BxAjtrxo LiormtiTZ Fa err.—“The number
of little boys between tbe agss of tan end six
teen yean who daily frequent Uw Recorder's
Court, has grown to he a subject of remark.
They go early, end oeeapy the most prominent
Beets, and eagerly gather in all the raeeality and
obeoenity which is daily exposed there. Fa
nnie woald do well to inquire into this matter,
m the polioe have under consideration the pro
priety of excluding this class of visitors from
thia court. ”
The above paragraph we oopy from the local
department of the Atlanta Herald. Perhaps it
has never occurred to tbe local editor of the
Herald that the attendance ot those boys on the
polioe court has been soainly (end perhaps en
tirely) oansed by himself. Every dey be attends
this eonrt, sod in his paper next morning ap-
pears a fail and miDUte description cf “all the
rascality and obscenity whioh is daily exposed
there.” Not only so, Imt it ia evident to all
readers of his paper that hs Ubors herd to make
attractive “the rascality and obaoemty” with
which the Keeorder has to deal. He Inga in all
the doggerel he can command and does all in
his power to convert the proceedings of a coart
of jastioe into bnffoonery. He wants to make

BY TELEGRAPH
Heanneaa to Pastors.
Dxaoon Bjchabd Kkith, of Cincinnati, tells
two stories illustrating the meanness sometimes
praotioed by churches toward their pastors. The
first U the oaae of a Presbyterian congregation
in Indiana, whose pastor was nnfortonstely ooti
nned to his house by pickness fonr weeks. His
salary was a small one, and be fonnd it difficult
to support his wife and children. When, how
ever, the trustees were called upon for the star
ving saUry, they deducted for the fonr weeks’
absence on aooount of sickness. The Beoond
is of a wealthy Presbyterian Church in an Ohio
city, bnt we are very sure it was not the one in
whioh Deaoon Smith officiates. The pulpit was
vacant, and the session invited a young man.
reoently graduated, to preach for them. The
young minister started from home with $25 in
his pocket, $15 of whioh wss invested in rail
roid tiokets for the round trip. He remained
two Sabbaths with tbe oongregatioD, preaching
fonr times. When he esme to take his depart
ure he kept his hind ready to reoeive the ex
peoted envelope; bnt he looked for it in vain.
On the way to the depot a lady invited him in.
The lady of tbe house thereupon presented him
a small package, which be wss requested to ao-
cept as a small token from the ladies of tbe con
gregation. He acoepied it with thanks, felt
good, and deposited the precious package in
his carpet saok. Upon entering the car he took
a back Mat, and as soon as the train moved ont
of the depot be prooeeded to examine the pack
age, and opening it osreMly h» discovered a
ootton shirt with ootton bosom and old fash
ioned eollar attached. This was tbe present
from the ladies of the oongregatioD, and this
was all he reoeired for two weeks servioes sod
tbe expenditnre of $15 for railroad fare. He
retnrned to his home a sad young man.
Yellow Fewer at Pensacola.
We find the following paragraph in tbe Mont
gomery Advertiser, of Friday:
The Evergreen Star says that Rsr. Mr. Lun
die, a Baptist minister well known in Alabama,
died of yellow fever at Feniaoola lost Monday.
The same paper says:
Last Sunday morning we stated ilia faot that
the existence of yellow fever in Fensaoola had
been reported, as also the grounds on whiehthe
report wss based. Sinoe then we hive heard
nothing farther on the subject, bnt tbe Mayor
of Mobile has reoeived official information that
the diseiM exists In the former city. A proo
lsmstlon bearing his signature appears in the
Mobile Register of the 20ch, whioh sets forth
this faot by way of preamble.
The Mayor of Mobile thereupon forbids all
persons leaving Pens loot* from entering Mobile,
The Advertiser calls upon the authorities of
Montgomery to establish some quarantine reg
nlatians for the protection of that city.
A letter dated at Pensacola on tbe 13:b, in
the Mobile Register of the 21st, says:
That we have yellow fever here is a faot be>
yond the Bbadow cf a doubt. I had- one fatal
case this morning—with all tbe symptoms welt

How Near Beast Butler Came to Be*
mg President.
In that interview recently had by a Herald
correspondent with old Corruption Cameron,
at Bedford Springs, Pennsylvania, some men
tion of which wss made in our paper yesterday,
old Cameron told the correspondent something
else that has not. to our knowledge, ever ap
peared in print before and which was, that But
ler, instead of And? Johnson, oame very near
being President. He said r
In the spring of 1864, when it was Ji-term
ined to ran Mr. Lincoln for a second t©nn, it
wss the deBire of Lmooln, aud also that of
Stanton end myself, that Butler should rou on
the ticket with him ss Vice President. Ac
cordingly, Lincoln sent me on a mission to
Fortress Monroe to see General Butler, and say
to him that it was hts (Lincoln’s) request that
he (General Butler) should allow himself to be
run as seoood on the ticket, I, accompanied
by William H. Armstrong, afterward member
of Congress from the Williamsport distriot in
this State, did visit General Butler and made
tbe tender, bnt be refnsed to aooept the posi
tion. He said there was nothing in the Vico
Presidency and he preferred remaining in com
mand of his at my, where 119 thought be was of
more servioe to his country.

At the election in North Cirolina on the 7(h
instant the following amendments to the Con
stitution of that State, having been adopted by
the Legislature, were snbmitted to tbe people
for ratifiestion:
First—To repeal the olanso requiring a State
oenans in 1875.
Second—To provide for biennial, iaatead of
annasl sessions ot tbe Lietalstare.
Third—To exempt $300 worth of any per
sonal property from seizure, Instead of certain
articles of that volne.
Fourth—To strike oat the term “Superin
tendent of Pnblio Works” from tbe Oonstitation
wherever it oaears.
Fifth—Believing the Legislrlure from levying
tax to pay interest on the State debt.
Sixth—Transferring the oontrol of the Uni
versity of the State to tbe Legislature.
Seventh—Abolishing tbe Code Commission.
Eighth—Providing that no person holding an
afiee in the gift of tne United States shill hold
State office or sit in tbe Legislature.
All these amendments have been ratified by
majorities ranging from 20,003 to 30,000, ex
cept the third—that relating to the exemption
of property from execution—ia carried by a
much smaller maj arity than the others. Most
of tbe negroes voted against the amendments.
Judge Wallace, of Cook connty, III., has
affirmed the right of people to marry nnder
in Illinois end never repealed. GotUeib Wif-
lig, an ancient German settler, espoused Mary
Willig, his housekeeper, before witnesses, bnt
withont any formality ot church or state.
They lived together, had children, and were by
some of their neighbors reputed to be man and
wife, while by others they were eonaidered to
be living in cononblnase. Willig died, leaving
no will, and his wife Mary applied for letters
of administration. Her right to them was con
tested by tbe sons of a former wife on the
ground that the applicant had never been le
gally married to their father. Jadge Wallace
decided that the marriage was legal, end that
the widow had therefore a right to administer
the entate. If this style of marriage beoomea
prevalent anxious mammas in Illinois may
hive to follow their daughters around like
those of Sonth America.

T3B BEGINNING OF SICKNESS.
Never trifle with what are called small ailments.
A disorder, easy of control at first, if neglected for
a few weeks may become a mortal disbaso. If you
feel inert, with a bitter or bad taste ia the mouth,
loss of appetite, bowels alternately costive and Jax,
resort at onoe to Simmons* Liver Regulator. That
great vegetable medicine will reach the seat of the
disorder, aud by its wonderful and peculiar power
in purifying (be stomach and stimulating the liver
and torpid bowels, imparts new life aud vigor to
the whole system; while its mild cathartic prop
erties relieve the bowels from obstructions, and its
alterative opar*tfnn boncfioially affects all the se
cretive organa ; by its tonic action the stomach ia
so invigorated that digestion beoomes regular,
easy and peifect For the miseries of dyspepsia—
and they include almost every unpleasant feeling
that belongs to physical disease and mental wretch
edness—this potent medicine is a certain and
speedy cure.
Some persons are prone to fevers, others to
bilious attacks. In all cases where a peculiar sus
ceptibility to any variety of didease exists the
toning, regulating and purifying operations of
Bimmons* Liver Regulator wili bo found the surest
safeguard against an attack.
It is no less potent as a preventive than as a
remedy. What family can afford to be without
such » resource in sickness ?
