The War Question
The poiDt of yesterday’s neon dh-
pittbes from Lotdoo, to be found in tha
appropriate plaoe, la the great aud grow
ing nooertaiLty felt there about the at*i-
tode of Anairia in ibe penJing conflict.
The Timet bitterly com; tains of the t-aeif-
la/ion in the connedsof Vienne, aud calls j
en Austria to make a deci*ion St once,
and lot it be known, so that both Great
Britain and Russia can know what to de
pend on. Tbe Timet correspondent at
Beilin, however, says it is "persistently
LeUex td there," that Austria will eventually
on operate with Roaeis, and it is net im
probable that they know in Berlin what
Austria ia going to do perLaps even better
than Austria knows herself!
For Bismarck's attitude is tbe key to
the situation. What Bismarck say*, in
view of the bare possibility that the gigtn-
t.n military power of Germany may be
drawn into this struggle, and tbns Austria,
r'tbe ally of a distant, insular power,
find herself between tbenpper aud neth
er millstone of two,vast military powers,
with contiguous territory—to say noth
ing of the considerable forces of Bosnia
nia and Servia, mast be a oontro-ling con
sideration with any prudent administra
tion of Anvtria. She mutt hava tbe
strongest guarantees, and tbe moatappro-
bativa assnracees from Germany, to jus
tify tho running of any riti of aooh a oa
tastrophe, which might wipe her ont of
the list of independent powers.
Consequently, tbe mero withholding of
inch assurances—the lack ofany encour
agement from Germany to form auch an
alliance—to say nothing of positive dis
couragement, would be reason sufficient
why Austria should not form it, and
oonld not form it, with any degree of pru
dence.
All probabilities, therefore, for these
and other reason?, lie ngaimt the pro
posed alliance of Anatria with Ragland,
and tho litter seems to be reduced to a
ingle-handed struggle with the Russian
Empire. .
And for this, she talks abont preparing,
or it may be, sho is bent by her military
activity on ascertaining what can be ef
fected by a show of preparation.
A war in such conditions can promise
nothing more than n military occupation
ofthesitoof Constantinople and its wa
ters by her immense naval, back by such
military force an she ccnld land there,
and this would cost more than it would
bs wortb, and have to be relinquished at
last, in no great time. It would bo bnrd
to eonceive of a more unpromising war
project than that which enr British cou
sins seem to bo motoring at this mo
ment.
And then, looking at tbe political situ-
ation in another point of view; it would

“Whilb the Loan* Holds Out to

Senator, Hon. B. H. Hill, at the eleventh
heur under tbe spar of a united home
press, the ‘‘baodwriting on the wall” in
hia future career, and perhaps thccsnvic-
t: >ls of cocscience, helped to vote dovn
the Haves veto of the Silver bill, and now
we call for a cessation of hostilities and
• mnesly on the put of the people for the
delinquencies of their gifted Senator.
“Our Ben” will doubtless be taught a
lesson hereafter, as to the propriety and
necessityof aonsulting the unmistakable
will of his constituent;.
There is so grander intellect in the
Senate of the United State s, and if he
will but curb bis ambition and foiliv up
and defend that policy which will inure
best to Southern interests, even at the
sacrifice of personal aggrandizement,
what a power for good could he bs to our
State.
May we sot hope that tbe Senator will
consent (o set hit sails hereafter in eym
pathy with the popular breeze ?

Valcabi.b to tub Fahmxc.—We have
received from the ollicient State Com-
iuin.io.ierof Agriculture, Dr. Janes, cir
culars f»Oand Cl, tbe latter giving a com.
plit > analysis of all the fertilizers s:ld in
Georgia, which will ba useful for refer
ence. The cumber is Ji/ty-rir, and their
aevoral constituents are all carefully tab
ulated an l maybe compared one with
another.
t’rof. W. J. L»nd is the author of these
analyses, and has displayed much indus

proximately oorrvet.
la the eauio circular very full direc

Circular No. 50 contains a mass of ex
periment* by farme.-a in all sections of
the State with the various fertilizers.upon
corn, cotton, potato**, etc.
As these were usually made by ex
perts and net furnished in the interest ef
any of the manufacture?, they are corre-
•pocd.ngly more vaiual-ld and reliable.
The preparation and compilation of
these two circulars alons, should satisfy
onr people as to the immense value of tbe
agricultural bureau to the commonwealth.
We only trust it may not share the fate
of the State Board of Health in the haade
of a prejndioed Legislature.
seem to be eo clearly the interests of tbe
three great empires to adjust these
neighborhood questions between them
selves, independently of Grest Britain
who has no proper and natural concern
with them, that wo feel confident they
will do it; and thus extinguish tho pre.
fences and tho practice of distant for
eign interference, which is altogether
impertinent, needless and inconvenient.
Wo hardly doabt that before those quci-
ticni are settled either by war or by ne
gctiatioD, tho record of Great Britiin a 1
a traditional busy body with tbo States

finally closed np; slid that tbiB ia ono

Tho Silver Bill.
Tho prees were alt taken aback by the
suddenness with which the silver bill
veto appeared and was disposed ot by tho
Senate, on Thursday. Tho gossips and
prophets had prepared the public to ex
pect s veto delayed to the last hour, and
then followed by nn earnest effort of tho
gold politicians and financiers to save it
by tho force of a vote or two in tho Sen
ate.
Arrangement! for a long and persis
tent stiuggle had csrtainly been devised,
and partly executed; but the silver bill
has, from tho outset, been backed by
such an overwhelming public sentiment,
that tbo tide carrying it onward into the
form of law has been gathering now
forco ovary day. Thus wo suppose it
happened that when the gold men came
to array their farces for tho final strug
gle, they ascertained their case to be ut
terly hopeless—abandoned it off band,
and agreed to die as qnietty ai possi
ble.
Tho vote In the Senate on tho Conati-
tntional question “shall tbe bPl pass
notwithstanding the veto?" was ayes -4C—
nays 19— showing two more yeas than
were absclntely necessary, and one of
these was Mr. Hill.
We trust that tho pradical operation of
the bill will dispel all tbs needless alarms
and bagsboos raised by tbe enemi- i of
the measure. Certainly, if Great Britain
is going into a continental war, U. S.
bonds wi'l go np as fast SB cunsclt go
down.
The allegation that the bill is a breach
of faith, hss been conclusively answered a
thousand timrs. There is a class of peo
ple who can recognize no right) in debtors.
The silver dollar ia now applicable to all
dues to the government and a legal ten-
-r for all indebtedness in tho United
States. Its position is now entirely re-
pe etable.
Another financial bill now needed is
that providing for the tasuoof greenbacks
ufficient to furnish a paper circulating
medium—also receivable for all govein-
nt due* end fundable in 3.G5 bonds.
An Old Subscriber.
We bad the pleasure a day or two since
a visit from Mr. D. F. Gunn, of By
ron, Dooly county, who. with his father
before him, has been a constant rub-
aenber of the Tklxqrifh for forty-two
years.
Our worthy friend expresses himself
better pleased than ever with his ancient
favorite, sad has “renewed,” and plsnked
down the cash for another year.
It is really plsasant thus to ba associa
ted from generation to generation with
readers who, almost from tbe'pcriod when
onr bark was first launched from tbe
stocks, have come on board and remained
there in >11 weathers, even amid tbe tem
pest of war, snd.tbe awfcl siroccos which
hava followed in the wake of emancipa
tions and the terrible ficanoisl panioa that
have since swept the land with the
besom of destruction.
To all such we would say the good
ship is as staunch and tight as ever, her
officers and crew ore still oa board and
at their post?, the oompass continues to
point without the variation of a secon 1
to that north star of our political faith,
the C.-TU.-Wuiion of cur fathers, and amid
tha gloom of the preseat night of appre
hension engendered by misgovernment.
Too Much Money.
A New York exchange says:
1'be incorporated banks of this city are
poising through a season of trisl which
con end only in ono way. A large num
ber of them must retire from business
atd wind np. There is more capital in
vested in banking than tbe merchantile
commnnity requirer, and the surplus
must be withdrawn. The process is go
ing on gradually, through losses and de
preciation of assets, and it would be wi
•er for the weak banks to anticipate the
inevitable result and get out before tbey
are entirely need up.
Ten years ago tbe capital and surplus
profits of the national and State banks of
the city combined amounting to about
$125,000,000. To-day they amount to
about $180,000,000 tho difference having
been cither lost or retired. But whereas
tbe exchanges of tho Clearing House in
1867 were $23,000,000,000, those of 1877
were $20,000,000,000, showing a falling
off in bosiness of cne-third against a re
duction of banking capital of only one-
fifth.
Such is not tbe case at the South.
Here, tho great want is bank capital in
such amount as to lower the rate of in
terest, and furnish the reqnisite accom
modation to our merchants and the public-
There ore times when not adollir can be
had on any eort of security in some of
our citio*.
This ia in part owing to the poverty of
our people, who bavo not been able even
to establish the number of national banks
to which this section of the Union is en
titled.
Again, the taxation of banking capital
is enormous and altogether dispropor-
tioned when compared with other prop
el ty.

Tee warehousis are stdl filled with the
odoriferous article, but the demand seems
tobefzl'ing eff a little—that is, tbe
farmers have bought nearly as much u
they can affoid to carry.
Well, all we can say to them is, mix
your guano with well rotted and tritura
ted cow, stable manure or rich wood
soil made fine, in the proportion of five
parts of this farm manure to ono o!
guano, and after the whole has remained
under cover one week, apply in tho drill
for cotton, sni if used for com scatter at
some distance from the seed that ail the
lateral roots may draw nourishment from
the stimulant.
This process, even upon sandy land
where there is but little hnmus, will be
fonnd to produce the most telling result
as tbe dilation with nch soil gives the
guano something to act upon and pats it
to work. In fallow ground, or soil not
deficient in vegetable matter, this is not
so important
Finally, apply at least half oE yonr
fertilizers to small grain, com and pota
toes, and remember to cultivate so thor
oughly that the grass wi!'. never ba per
mitted to steal, and appropriate the virtne
of your guano. With these directions
which have boen thoroughly u-sted by
tho writer in tbo low country, no com
plaint will bo ever made os to tho “pay
ing" propel ties ofany atandtrd fertilizer.

Life at Princeton College.
Chicago Tribune. J
Tho faculty at Princeton do not pro
pose to have any more hazing or pistol
difficulties if a forcible examplo can pre
vent it. The Times' correspondent writes
that tbo first intimation given tbe appre
hensive students to-day, was at noon,
when tbe freshmen were summoned be-
for the faaolty and notified that they
must leave Princeton before evening.
This was followed by the rapid calling up
and dismissing or sending home of thirty-
six more student*. Tho faculty learned
with difficulty the names of the eight
sophomores who began tbe troubles by
hazing Ling, and determined that noth
ing short of instant dismissal was suffi
cient punishment. Tho eight, excep
Atterbury, who is still in bed from his
wound, were dismissed. This is equiv
"*?nt to expulsion. By tbo charter tbe
trustees only can expel, but tbey always
co-operate with the faculty, and dismissal
is sure to bo followed by expulsion.
The Sophomores dismissed are Robert
E. Annin, Prinoeton; Attarbnry sod
Carter, as given yesterday; George S.
Johns, St. Chail i, Missouri; John S.
Mofgs. Chiotgo; Jnlin Olds, Prinoeton,
and H. C. Porter, Towando, Fa. The
two Freshmen sent home were Frank
Gledhlll. of Patterson, and Frank J.
Nyce, of Cambridge. Gle.ihill was con
sidered one of tbe b *gb est students in
his class. Tho rebellion of the Sophomore
class refusing to attend tbe chapel yester
day and in hazing tne five Freshman
guarded by Proctor Goldie at Prinoeton
Junction, waa then aoted npon. One by
one thirty Sophomores weie called np and
sent home or suspended [indefinitely.
When the f,-cutty adjourned at 5 o'clock,
the records stood: Mopbomores expelled.
S; Sopbomor*: snspended. 30; Freshmen
suspended 12—a total of 50.
Tho freshmen who refused to attend

Prosecuting Attorney Bessely, of Mercer
county, to-dar visited Princeton, ard re

would pay for twice the number of tickets
given free. No theatrical manager is ~
favor of abolishing tho free ticket system
and paying for what favors ho gat* from
a newspaper. They all know too well
that tho balance ia not in their favor and
are unwilling to change the preient cus
tom. A newspaper man poys dearly *
bis tickets and when he goes weary to his
office at midnight to write a criticism
the play while the happier parts of the
andienee go skipping home to rest
feela that ho has paid quite deaily for his
theatrical whistle, andyot many people
consider him a co:t of dead beat
waits quittly a. the door for an approv
ing nod from the boss to enter and see
the show and till all sorts of lies about '
next morning. He bos a right, however,
to feel as prond as the millionaire w
changes a hundred dollar bill to pay fer
a ticket, and he generally does feel eo.
A ticket to a newspaper man is a compli
mentary invit-.tion oy the acceptance
which tho mamger is placed under obli
gations if any obligations exist cn either
side. There may be too many “dead
heads" in other departments hut news
paper men are nt the top of the list and
will be the last dropped, for theatrical
managers know that they have, under
tbe present custom, the best side of
the bargain, and they will not let go ns
long as they can help it. Meanwhile
we shall accept complimentary tickets
with tbe same feeling as tho man next
door who pays his money for them—only
we think wo pay the higher price.
There neverwaaagreater mistake than
to suppose that he who ridca all diy, and
works almost withont cessation at night
to repoit a fair, convention or other
meeting in which the railroads, citizens
and country are all largely interested,
should be called a “dead head” because
bis actual expenses are paid. He is usu
ally the hardest worked official of them
all, and has the most difficult task to per
form.

I have used Simmons’ Liver Reeulator for
constipation of mv bowels, caused b.v a tempora- I
ry derangement of the liver, for tha last three or

is a good medicine for the derangement of the j
liver-at least such has been my perioral expe
rience in the use of it. HIRAM WARNER,

Simmons’ Liver Regulator
This unnvailed Southern Remedy is warrant
ed not to contain a single particle of Mercury, or
any injurious mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an allwise Providence has placed in coun*
tries where Liver Diseases most prevail. It will
euro all Diseases caused by derangement of the
Liver and Bowels.
As a remedy in Malarious Fevers, Bowel Com
plaints. Dyspepsia. Mental Depression, Restless
ness, Jaundice, Nausta, Sick Headache, Colic,
Constipation and Biliousness,
IT HAS NO EQUAL.
I have through kindness and confidence of my
friends, Messrs J H Zeilin A Co, learned th*» chief
com pot eut ingredient of their Liver Regulator
and can say that it is purely vegetable com*
pound, combining a class of cathartics adapt' d
to tbe stomach, small and large bowels, hence its
certain action.
I have watched its effects in families where I
h.v--o practiced, and find i-t an admirable pur*.si*
tire, the combination is slightly alterative and
tonic in its actions. J believe its effects upon
the Liver is by continuity of tissue one of its in*
gredients acting on the lirst bowels decidedly.
