whoa the negroes of Mississippi elected

Tub Doo Crop.—The Virginia Moni
tor goes into a nice calculation to show
that the superfluous dogs iu l-’rankliu

suppose there nro as many superfluous
dogs in Bibb county, Georgia, as in Frank-
lin county, Virginia, and if so. the cost of
tho dogs at that rate would amount to
ono-third more than is appropriated to
publio education, nnd two-thinis more
than is appropriated to public weds and
bridges.
Tus Iowa State Granok.—Tlio Iona
State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry,
which was in session bust week at Dos
Moines, closed a contract for tlio pur
chase of a harvester patent, with the in
tention of starting a manufactory of
their own. A committee was chosen to
draft a railroad tariff bill to be presented
to tho Legislature with a memorial. The
transportation committee reported in fa
vor of the Mississippi river and Fox and
Wisconsin rivers improvement. Resolu
tions were adopted declaring against the
acceptance of railway passes by legisla
tors; in favor of purchasing no more
agricultural implements from the Illinois
ring, and in favor of tho extension of cur
rency and free banking.
Why the Capital Should be Trans
forred to XIUedgeTllle Again.
Tin’s question is daily increasing in im
portance and significance to tax-payers,
just in proportion os the old opera house
grows more rickety, and the necessity
for a new Capitol becomes inevitable.
The neat of government should bo re
established at its ancient site for the fol
lowing forcible reasons;
First—It is very ncaily tlie geograph
ical centre of the State, and therefore
equalizes tho traveling expenses and
risk* of legislators. Formerly tho lack
of railroad facilities was urged as a rea
son for removal. But since tho comple
tion of the Gordon branch of the Central,
and the Macon and Augusta road, this
objection has been wholly obviated.
Second—'Tho change to Atlanta was
violently effected by Federal interposi
tion and carpet-bag agencies, and, ceteris
paribus, self-rospect requires a sovereign
State to resist this encroachment upon
its prerogative and rights.
Third—The grand question of economy
at a period of great financial exhaustion
and onerous taxation, calls loudly for re
moval. Just prior to the change, a largo
sum had been expended upon tho old
Capitol, and tho public buildings were in
apple-pie order. They aro commodious
and well constructed,with ample grounds,
and situated in a most salubrious region
of country. Moreover, they are the prop
er! j <>,'' the State. Why, then, forego those
advantages, and sink the millions unnec
essarily, which must lie raiser! by taxa
tion for the erection of now buildings.
Fourth—Tho pure administration of
the governmentrequir.es its removal from
tho busy marts of a crowded city to a lo
cation more retired and free from inter
ruptions of every kind. Tho cost of leg-
islntion i3 enormous, and the people have
ght to diligent and faithful servico
from their representatives. But every
ono knows the seductions nnd temptations
incident to a largo town, and of Atlanta
in particular. Until recently, that city
was the head centre of Georgia Radicals,
carpet-baggers, shoulder-strapped army
officers, and all the rings and corruption
inseparable from such elements.
The place has boon built up, to some j
extent, with money stolen from the coffers i
of the State Treasury, and filched from j
the earnings of tho Western and Atlantic
railroad. Bullock, Blodgett, Kimball,
Farrow, Harris, et id omne genus, were
not only representative men, but. backed
by a host of speculating yaakoes, actually
ran tho machinery of the State and ruled
the city besides. True, the Democratic
lustration has scattered this flock of in
satiable vampyres, and they have been
forced to floo tho country or take cover in
their holes, but the taint of their presence
still remains, and the lesser rogues con
tinue to go “unwhippod of justice.”
Moreover, there is so much of lobbying,
junietting, bribery, gambling and drink
ing going on, and the means of detection
are so difficult, that it is actually wrong
to expose inexperienced members, unused
and saw mill, and sixteen bales of cotton
' was burned. Loss $12,000. Tiii is the

arrived at this port from Liverpool yes

steam plow machinery adapted to the

summer. It will, we learn, be nfaojcctcd

Dr. Waring at his plantation on tho Sa

three horses, each of which weigh over a
ton. They are consigned to Messrs.
Wilder & Co. and are to be used by Mr.
E. Buddington at liis place in South
Carolina. Ax two large timber wagons
accompany tho horses, no doubt the Latter
will have a fiiir ter.t at drafting South

ery for tlio manufacture of cotton also
constituted a portion of tho freight. Th<j
machinery is consigned to Messrs. J.

“ I tell yer, boss, I’se lieerd dem niggers

telligent to bo a competent juror ?”
Darkey—"I’so honest, boss, cf dat wat
you mean by uprito.” Captain—“ Well.

Darkey—Golly, Boss, do dem ar niggers

Captain—Well, I can*t say thnt they do.
Darkey—Den wnt would doy make mo

that such and such was tho case, mid tho
court should charge you that I was
wrong, who would you believe, the court

At the last meeting of the French

tho valuable power of destroying the ma

the beneficial results claimed for it.
Whore it is thickly planted in marshy
countries, it drains the soil quickly and
effectually. At the Cape of Good Hope
it lias been tried, and with tho most thor
oughly satisfactory results. In Algiers,

dried up in five year.: by these trees and
the fever disappeared. It has also been
introduced into Cuba with tlie samo re

Southern and Southwestern Georgia. If
it would work there as elsewhere, the ex
periment of its introduction would be
well worth a trial. .

The ^Registration ot’Afarriages,
Dirtlis and Deaths.
The careful attention of our readers is
invited to the admirable article on this
subject, to be found in another column,
from the pen of an eminent physician of
Georgia. Nothing need be said to enforce
the arguments which are so ably set forth
by the writer. The statistical value of
such tal.-les nftor the lapse of a few years
can hardly he over estimated. To Life
Insurance Companies especially, they
would afford tho most reliablo data in ad
justing average rates of mortality, upon
.which all intelligent risks must necessa
rily bo predicated. Much litigation too
would bo saved by the adoption of such a
system, and tho identification of parties
long deceased will no longer be found dif

Repeal of the Bankrupt Jjtiw.
The House of ltepresenlatives, as . our
readers already know, passed last Friday
a bill repealing the bankrupt law. The
vote on the passage of the bill stood —
yeas 220, mays 14. Those voting in tho
negative were Messrs. Albert, Avcrill,
Barry, Bell, Blount, Butler of Massachu

are getting mixed.
Says the Floridian, the kinds of fruit
enumerated as growing in the Indian
river country of Florida, and succeeding
well, are the orange, citron, lemon, lime,
guava, banana, fig and pineapple. To
these may bo added, as growing wild,
grapes, pawpaws, sea-grapes, cocoa-
plums, custard-apples, gooseberries and
huckleberries. It is claimed that there
is a difference between the Indian river
or Smyrna oranges and those of colder
localities, owing to climatic influences
and the peculiar adaptation of the soil to
its perfection. Notwithstanding the
frosts of last winter, such tender fruits as
the banana, guava, fig, pineapple, etc., nil
produced abundantly during the past
summer.
The Floridian records as “worth men
tioning” the fact that a worthy lady in

eleven children ! At the lost birth there
were three boys, two of whom are alive
and nro now running about. The mother
is only thirty years of age.

The Chict Justiceship.
Professing to report transactions in
executive session last Monday, a special
to the Boston Po3t says:
The case of Williams came np in Ex
ecutive session to-day, and wa3 discussed
at great length and with some display of
feeliug. At tho close of the discussion
tlie matter was further postponed, the
friends of William^ pot daring to force
tho issue with tho opposition. It is under
stood that Judge Edmunds maintains his
position in defence of the White House
pressure, nnd tliat he and Pratt, of In
diana, still hold their own in tho leader
ship of a strong numerical opposition to
the confirmation. Tho impression in all
circles at tho closb of last week was that
tho President liad whipped tlie Senate
intoobedieneo and ti nt Williams would
bo confirmed to-day, hut the non-action
in tho matter shows that tho White
House lash lias lost much of its terror,
and the President’s power, or at least his
absolute power, over the Senate is gone.
Williams’ confirmation is now not only
doubtful, bnt there is a strong proba
bility that he will bo rejected if the
'.ination i: not immediately witb-
noteu i -irawn. The President is much exercised
to-night over the turn affairs have taken,
and for tho first timo in his Executive
career shows a disposition to yield. It
may bo proper to say, however, that there
is a conflict of advices concerning tho
action of tho Executive session.
