Emergent L^glHlatlou.
Want proportion of our G^ort-ia leR'iU-
t : on do jon cuppe-.a would baclaf.trd un-
d« tti# h-»d of Emergent legislation ?
WeDraD by the term, legislation evoked
by a tuppo- d abnormal and exneptional
condition of affair* 1 , und, therefore, more
or less in conflict with ordinary rule?,
principles and proceedings. We should
say about half of her important legisla
tion ha^ 4 been of this kind for tho ia=t
twenty five or thirty years. Indeed, it
will puzzle the contemporary historian to
point out a time which has not been a
crisis with cur legislators.
They are always in a crisis, and at last
they have made crisis a permanent
and fundamental condition, by putting
>c in thefl^apeof a constitution. Oar’s
is a constitution made for a crisis to pre
vent crises hereafter forever—to tie up
the people eo that they can't hurt them
selves, however hard they may try. The
idea is that when we, the legislators, die,
there will be very little sense left, and
therefore let us put ours, like the Egyp
tian mummy, in shape for everlasting
preservation.
Bat it is all a mistake. Saoocssive gen
erations come and go, and generally im
prove on tho methods and facilities for
taking care of themselves. They flay old
fogies with a ranch stronger voice than wo
e*y young fools, and all onr schemes to
give an nnperiahable vitality to onr rent
ed is for the evils of onr own time and day
will bo brushed aside as anteqnated cob
webs. Nothing will live in fundamental or
statute law which is not based on tho
eternal principles of right, justice and
■ound nsage.
All those trashy laws which Georgia
has been floating or trying to float for
twenty-five or thirty yeais—laws to evade
or annul contracts—laws giving special
remedies to favored classes—stay laws and
lien laws, and so on, will only figure bb
monuments of folly and injnstioe. What
ever in oar statutory system (in short),
the offspring of what is called an emer
gency—a crisis—a sensation or prejudice,
will only figure in the future as a badge
of fraud and folly.
And yet we go on with this emergent
legislation. The railroad bill now before
tho Legislature beats Dennis Kearney—
a bill absolutely striking a deadly blow at
tho right of property. Within the terms
of its charter, every corporation or arti
ficial person has all tho legal rights of a
natural persen, and hero is a bill to take
the management of property out of the
hands of its owner, and compel him to
do business on his own cost and responsi
bility, and yet entirely outside of his own
control or discretion, and under the abso
lute control of others. If such a law
can stand, so could a general confiscation.
Not a railroad could lire, and all property
under such a system would bo nothing
bnt a peril.
One wonld think Georgia might ba*o
loarned enough about this emergent leg
islation in her experience under Congres
sional reconstruction to sioken of it for
ever.
Never vois for nay of these men who
have crisis on the brain, or who can find
excuses aud occasions for departing
from the sonnd principles of law and jus
tice. Not one of these exceptional stat
utes ever was or ever will ba anything
else than calamitious and disgraceful.
Tlis Proposed Site for tbeXew
Capitol.
We are glad to see that the Senate of
Georgia has concurred in the House reso
lution which provides that the authorities
of Atlanta shall donate, in addition to the
City Hall lot, several Other lots and areas
needed to afford suitable grounds and ac
commodations for the location of a per
manent State house. Tnis will relieve
Atlanta from the obligation to build
•'a new capitoi as good &3 the old capitol
at Milledgcville." The resolution was
unanimously concurred in. This will
settle and put to rest a vexed question,
and at the same time, we trust, leave our
siater city in the enjoyment of her City
Hall for several years to come.
It is pleasant to know also that the
preposterous emblazonment of “Kimball
Opera House’* has been ordered to be
taken dawn from its conspicuous mount*
ing on tho present State edifice.
And now lot oar economical Legislators
duke good their rigid programme in this
case also, by sternly refusing to appro
priate a single dollar even to lay the
foundation for a new State House, nntil
the last cent cf the indebtedness cf the
commonwealth has been paid.
The State has expended large earns to
render the roof and walla of the old
Opera Hon- e safe, and in painting and
furnishing Us numeroue apartments. The
whole building is now adjndged to be in
good condition and will serve its present
purposes very well until the carpets and
other equipments wear oat and the public
debt is liquidated. Then let competent
architect* devise & plan, and furnish cor
reel estimates for the erection of a capitol
building which will stand for ages, and
ever reflect the grandeur and power o?
our ncble State. It is a pile that should
rise by degrees, the means being provid
ed by a moderate annual tax upon all
property holders.
Happily, a wise provision of the new
Constitution prohibits tho issuance o
bonds, or any debt whatever in the fu
tnre, bo that our palatial capitol when
completed will also be paid for. But let
ub be patient, and “get outef the woods
first.”

Colocd Hardeman talked to em like a

And everybody shouted, “No, nc; he’s

Attempt at Jail Breaking.—The Bis
The Electric Light projects of Mr.
Edison, are now declared by tne New
York Graphic to have resulted in nothing
likely to be of practical value. His last
requisition—an indefinite amount of
platinum at the pric.» of load or iron, is
altogether unattainable. Six mouths
ago, says the New York correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, Eiiron was
told by a fame us French chemist, who
visited his Uborstory. that the wire of
platinum w^uld cryatalize af:er a little
use, but Edison was sure that he conld
prevent such a result, an i now he finds
that ordinary platinum does erystalize
and is much too »xpeneive. The Madi-
•on Square ijurden 13 illuminated every
night by some sort of electric light.
The effect is most unpleasant. It throws
deep shadows, and it is impossible to see
anything distinctly, while the promena
ded look like eo many peripatetic
ghosts. Another drawback ia the con
stant flickering of the light, which, of
oourae, would render it disagreeable to
end by.
Xlie Color JLiine lu ilaytl.
Tho history of tho “color lino 1 * con
troversy in St. Domingo may throw a
little prophetic light on llio sawg subject
in tho United States. After tho white
raco was driven off the island and slavery
extinguished in blood, a civil war was
inaugurated between tho remaining
blacks and mulattoes which resulted in a
separation under two governments—the
mulattoes occupying the eastern end of
tho island and organizing the Dominican
Republic, aud the blacks taking the
west under the more pretentious title of
tho Empire of Hayti. But, alas, some
of iho Haytiens soon began to bleach
and as they whitened in successive gen
erations they gained influence, power and
wealth far beyond the ratio of their num
bers, and the result is diacribed in the
following from an exchange :
Although Hayti ia a negro republic, it
appears that there, toe, they have a color
line, along which political antagonisms
range themselves. There is a feeling of
animosity between the mulattoes, who
lire in the cities, carry on the commerce
and almost monopolize the government
offices, and the full-blooded blacks., who
constitute nine-tenths of tho population
and are the tillers of the soil. Tne pride
of the former ciasa and the jealousy of
the latter afford plenty of material for
political intrigue, and occasionally there
are lively times in Port au Prince.
The .recent revolution was brought
about by a contest in the
Corps Legislatif between the Lib
erals and the Nationals. Baze-
Uis, the leader of the Liberals, is a quad
roon; Delorme,tbe leader of the Nationals
and presiding officer of the Hon^e, is a
black. Party feeling ran high, and finally
BizeUis was expelled for persistent viola
tion of the rnle against absenteeism. Tqib
so exasperated the Liberals that one day
in the heat of debate, shots were fired
from their side of the House at Delorme.
Both parties acd their adherents flew to
Hrm?, and there were fonr days of street
fighting, in which baadreds of people
were killed and upwards cf seventy
hons.'s laid Tn ashes. President Canal
precipitately resigned And left the country
and at latest advices a revolutionary
committee of twenty two members, with
Delorme at their head, were directing
affaire.
A Sweet Invalid.—Tne friends of
Mrs. T. B. Gresham will rejoioe to know
that she was sitting np yesterday, and
qnite cheerful. The recent almost au
tumnal weather seems to have acted
like an elixir to her health and spirits,
and the noble, pure, beautiful woman,
almost still a girl in freabne^ and insou
ciance. was even more charming than
when tha roseate glow of health mantled
her cheek, and her magnificent pbysiqae
challenged the admiration of all who be
held her.
Oh, how many will echo tho hope, and
rejoice that it is the opinion of her phy
sician that the bracing airs of f je ap
proaching fall months will work a change
for the better in her case, and send the
life blood dancing oace more merrily
throogh her veins. Iodeed, it is firmly
believed that she will yet be vouchsafed a
new lease of life, and oontinue for years
to ootne, to be the light and blessing of
of her household. For the sake of father,
mother, husband and precious little ones,
may God in His infinite mercy bestow
this great boon upon them.
Goa lieip tlie Widow and Or
phan.
Of all earth's sorrows and bereave
ments, the supremest and greatest is the
death of the cherished head of a family—
tho beloved husband, the tender parent
the staff acd 6tay of the household, the
great balance wheel in the motion and
gavernmontof tho domestic system ttud
still, and consternation and dismay fo.
the time have full sway.
Oh, how many cherished plaDa for the
future are hopelessly wrecked, how many
ambitious hopes crashed, how wistfallg
the weeping widow looks upon her etrick
en children, some of them perhaps un
conscious of their loss, and in her
anguish wishes that the grave had closed
upon her form also. And the annealing
hand of timo does its work so slowly.
Long years roll on, and yet the heart
broken widow wears her weeds and
mouroa for the husband of her youth.
Sao ebnns the halls of festivity, se
clndes herself even from the social gath
eritiga of the commnniiy, and lives alone
for the happiness and welfare of the dear
ohiHrcn,who have in their faoes and forms
tho lineaments and impress of the de
parted sire. Decades of years mast elapse
ere the mellowing vista of the past can
bring real cheerfalaess and peaoo to that
stricken heart.
These thoughts have been suggested
by the recent bereavement of a near
friond, who cannot be comforted for tho
loss of her dear husband, and in another
in - anco also where the devoted wife and
mother after long years still reverences
the memory of her husband, and has de
voted her whole life to the training and
education of tho children, who were the
fruit of thoir marriage.
Tho death of a child is a sore afflic
tion ; but it fadea into inEignifioance be
fore tho heart crushing grief which over
whelms the soul when the partner of
one's life is taken away forever.
Boston's Taxes and Taxiblk Proper
ty.—The late report and tables of the
assessors of Boston give the total vain*
tion of property for 1879 at $612,253,600,
which inclndss $42S,737,300 in real estate
acd $183,467,300 in personal.
In 1875 the value of real property was
$553,769,500, which shows a depreciation
of $129,000,000 Tho loss on personal
daring the same period foots up $52,000,-
OOO, making a total decline in values in
four years amounting to the immense
snm of $181,514,300.
In the face of these returns, however*
the taxes of the city have been reJuced
since 1875 from $10,523,130 to $7,492,910.
Toe assessed rates per $1,000 for the
present year is $12.50, or thirty cents less
than last sear. . This does not look like
the Hub is “Dooming” overmuch.

Bill Arp Tell3 About His Tbip to
Carrolton.—We quote the following
from William’s last epistle to tho Atlanta
Constitution:
I’ve been down to the little village of
Carrolton where there’s nothing to inves
tigate and nobody la trouble. A kind
provideDce has smiled npon that primi
tive country and given them rain in sea**
sou, and they feel comfortable and
fall of hope and gratitude and about 3,000
of 'em had gathered together to frolic
sedeat sheep meat and have a good time
generally. And they had it. I didn't
know there was suoh a people in the
S.ate. There's not a doggery in the coun
try. I never saw a man drnak or drink
ing. I never heard a quarrel nor a cuss
word cor a pis.ol shoot, nor saw a wagon
away or any other thing to disturb
the general peace .and tranquillity.
Ereryoody was in a good humor, eapeci-
ally my friend Gains, who weighs 240
pounds and Uugbs skkordio, and sell:
fertiles and writes poetry, and the
girls call him the sweet skylark of the
Tallapoosa. Every community ought to
have a Gains in it to prevent s:agnation
and save doctors’ bills.
The brass band tooted ns out to the
barbecue under the inspiring strains of
Dixy.” Colonel Tom Hardeman was
there—the king of the field, the bull of
the woods, the patron saint of the farm
ers in Georgia. He was there to tell
them what he knew about farming, and
I was invited to tell ’em what I didn’t
know. The ladies were as thick in front
of us as leaves in Yaiambroza, and the
day was hot, and t-o I tcok pity on em
and didntnt expose mere than half of my
gneranee. Well, the fact is, I was put
on a farm in my early boyhood, for I
plowed one season in rock land. The
rocks were what we calie.1 in old Gwin»
net “nigger heads,” and they jerked me
around so I s:oppt*J growing, I was so
little and old ail the boys called me
“Thusey” for Methuselah. My father
dident »et*m to think I had struck my
talent and so he pat me about one foot
behind a jack plane and tcld me to shove
*t This I did for six months when one
day I fell off a two story bouse and broke
my arm and nearly broke my mother’s
heart. She had always entertained a
Christaia faith that I was to be a preach
er or a president. When I put on a ,
patch says last Saturday night about half
past eleven o’clock, it was discovered
that “Charles Beresford, tho forger, and
Ayres Jones, tho murderer of Lieutenant
McIntyre, were in the act of escaping
from the Atlanta jail. The Jones broth
ers, Ayres and Tom were usually confined
in cell No. 7. Bere&ford occupied tho ad
joining cell. On Saturday evening, when
the birds were being locked up for the
night, Beresford managed ia some way
to be locked ap with Ayres Jones, while
Tom Jones clipped into cell thirteen, oc
cupied by two negroes. Ia the afternoon
sometime, probably when all the inmates
of the jail were singing and froliokiog,
as they usually do to kill time, the two
negroes in thirteen were sawing away at
the bars with a case-knife acd file, the
singing completely drowning the noise.
A little after eleven o'clock Beresford
and Jones broke the hook that is used in
locking their cell, and iustead of going
up the stairs that lead to the stcond
floor, they dim bed up the rods at the
b&ok of the building. Captain Ander
son saw Beresford thus occupied aud fired
his shotgun, the shot taking effect in his
thighs.
They were making for cell thirteen
when the bars ware sawed, und would
have broken the hook as they hod done
on the door of their own cell. Blanket
ropes were mads and ready, and bad
Jones and Beresford succeeded in getting
inside of cell thirteen, where the two ne-
gxoeB aud the other Jones was confined,
they coul \ have easily made their e-capo,
after about an hour’s more work in en
larging the hole.”

The Berrien County News savH a negro

engaged in killing the chickens.
Tbo News pays its respects to a bill
recently introduced in the L'gislatnre to
let one conoty printing to the lowest
bidder, after this fashion:
We are in favor of the bill, because we
aro in favor of everytbing that is seosi

would work. Oar connty officials under
this law wonld let ont their advertising to
the lowest bidder. Mr. Ick-alicgpr. of
the Northeastern Kansas Weekly Dirt Sling-
er, gots the advertising in virtae of his
bid beiDg the lowest. Don't you see how
nioo that thing would work. The people
of onr county wonld not have to bother
their heads poring over legal advertise
ments—but pshaw! wo won't go any fur
ther into the merits of this bill. Yon
can see at a glance that it is grand in its
conception, and that none other than e
grest mind could have conceived it. The
anthor of this bill shonld be loaded down
with leather medals and returned to tho
qniet shades of private life, as there is

murder.

Rough Time.—The Savannah Recorder
says Mr. J. C. Vallean, the telegraph
operator at Ty bee, bad a rough experience
Saturday. He crossed over in a email
boat to the quarantine station, in answer
to a signal, and having transacted his
business prepared to return. He had
been out but a short time when a squall
struck him and, after tossing him about
for a while, carried him out to sea. From
this perilous predicament he was fortu
nately rescued by an incoming ocean
steamer and taken to Tybce.”
The Augusta Sexes says on the day in
March, 1873, the fearful cyclone which
ravaged middle Georgia was doing its
most destructive work, a white lamb, “no
larger than an ordinary sized house cat,
was safely deposited, among other debris,
in the yard of Mr. Dan Prather, an oid
gentleman who lives near BerzeiL, on
the Georgia road. As eocn as the lamb
was discovered, eomc one of Mr. Pra*
ther’a family ran out, picked it up and
carried it into tne house. Wnere it came
from no one knew, but it was fed and
warmed and nurtured, and became a great
pet in the household. In fact, like Ma
ry’s lamb, it followed Mr. Prather about
all the time.
After enquiries, Mr. Prather could find
no one who owned a fl jck of the sheep in
:he direction from which the cyclone
came for a distance of twenty miles, and
where his pet came from was more of a
mystery than ever. At any rate, it grew
to be a fine, healthy sheep, and as the
years passed it was regularly sheared,
and the wool applied to domestic usee.
There was no otUer sheep cn the place,
and it is doubtful if ^ver this lamb saw
another of its species since the memora
bl^j March winds took her upon its wings
and deposited her safely in Mr. Prather's
Yard*

“ among the dead is tho chief who killed
Gen. Cos er.” That chief mus; have at least
as many lives as a cat, eo o'ten has he beeu

The Trne View of It.
N. Y. Sun.]
The Maryland Democrats denounce the
Fraud of 1877 as “ a crime agaiDBt a whole
people.” That is a true view to take of it.
It was thp American people—not merely Mr.
Tildeu, Mr. Hendricks, and the Democratic
party—against whom that crima was plotted
and executed And it was a dime not only
against the Americans of to-day but against
their children and their children's children.
Those who planned it, those who aided in
carrying it out, those who bonefitted by it,
should be held in everlasting infamy.
Beer and the Cost of It.
Baltimore Sun ]
From May 1, 1878, to May 1, 1879. tliero
were made and sold in the etiy of New York
1,342,180 barrels of iagor beer. In each
barrel there are four keg», and each keg, at
retail, averages 115 glasses of beer, making
the total sales 617,392,890 glasses, which, at
5 cents per glass, which the coneumer pays
for it, will give 630,870,141) as the amount
annually expended in New York for beer
alone It is equal to about $39 per capita of
the entire population, or $lfc0 per annum for
each haadof a family—$15 a month; the
wages, in fact, of an average farm hand who
boards on the farm. It amounts, in another
Yiew of the case, to nearly three per cent,
upon the total assessed valuation of New
York, and is within about $3,000,000 of the
total municipal taxation of that heavily-taxed
city. The beer score is probably larger than
the whisky score, but both together reach a
frightful sum.
What They Say in Nurftli Caro
Inna.
Raleigh Observer.]
The Democrats of Georgia are now diiDg
for themselves what they have heretofore
done for those hopuoliean ofti:e-ho'ilors who
being weighed in the balanca were found
wauiing. The Comptroller, a Benue .at, and
presumably a Democratic politician of fair
standing, and of ilHuclc^ taviug been ac
cused of milpractice in cilice, the House of
Representatives at once caused articles of
impeachment to be prepared against him,
and the Henato thereupon put him on hia
trial Thus it happens that Washington L.
Goldsmi.ii. notwithstanding bis official posi
tion and his re»ation to thb party in power,
is now suspended from his nigh office, and
if his guilt b6 proved, will have his official
head rolled into the waste basket by the
hoaost and inconuptiblo Democrats of Geor
gia. It is this disposition of the Democrats
to probo any suspicious transactions to tbo
bottom, ara if aa^hi be found am as, to pun
ish the evil doer, that commends our party
to the confidence of the masses.

Under such a reckless and reeking condi
tion of tho United Statoa Treasury Depart
ment, the meauiDg conveyed in a late con
versation caunot be understood: “areyoa
going to carry Ohio this fall ?'* a Democrat
wsu asked by ono of tho most intelligent
and honest of Republicans—a man who
knows as much about the bank note business
as any man at the capital. Upon au affir
mative reply it was rejoined: ‘ Not much
it won’t. Ill tell you what’s a fact; you
won’t carry Ohio if a million dollars era pre
vent it. Jolm Bbe:man can pnt a million
there just as eaeilv as ho can put a thousand,
and nobody will know that tho volume of
currency has been increased.” Ho went on
to state as a fact, of his own knowledge that
there was no registry of greenbacks by thoir
numbers, and no registry of tho numoers of
these destroyed: that there was absolutely
no way to 11'd out how many of the same
numbers woro issued In other words, the
improssion conveyed to the listonor, and
sought to bs convoyed, was that the govern
ment plates could be u*od by John Bherman
for the emission of any quantity of money
deemed i rodent, and tnis Republican believ
ed that John Sherman could be trusted with
the management cf that part of the Ohio
campaign with the most implicit confidence.

A Maclilne Which While Wear
ing Itself Dot la Tenderly
Guarded
Altoona Letter in Boston Herald.
The engine once in service, is by no
means lost sight of. Its movements are
as thoroughly noted as are those of an
ocean steamer. In Mr. Ely's office in this
city there ia an immense board covered
with little pegs, upon which bang smdl,
round, coloxei disks, from the under part
of which had been cu; a small portion.
These pegs and disks are numbered from
1 to 1,250. Each number corresponds
with an engine. On one part of the board
the pegs are numbeied consecutively.
Looking at this part for any particular
engine that may be desired, and on the
diskjwill be found “Ptgh,” “N. Y.”or HP/
etc. This refers you to the division where
the engine ia. Looking to that division
on the board and fiading the number on
the engine, another little disk, by means
of ita color, will tell you ja*t what condi
tion the engine is in. If the disk ia pure
white the engine is in perfect order. If
the disk is bordered by a red line the en
gine needs only suen slight repairs as
may be nude without withdraw
ing it from the service. If the disk is
covered one-half with red, repairs are
required of a very slight nature* but for
which the engine muat proceed to the
shop. If the entire disk is pale gray,
repairs of a most important character are
needed, though still deemed slight. A
disk entirely blue denotes a machine that
needs very substantial repairs. One-ha
black and half white indicates the ma
chine is being built over. A disk all
black denotes an engine dead, unfit save
to be cut up or sold. This record is
changed every week and is so complete as
to enable any one to see at a glance jnst
the condition of the motive power. Re
pairs are never undertaken if they will
coat over $3,000. For that a new stand
ard boiler can be bu.lt, and unless an en
gine ia of the standard pattern she is
•never built over for the compiny does
an wish to perpetaate odd engines, and
to pay more than three thousand dollars
would not ba eo economical as to pay the
interest on the value of a new machine.
Here again true economy steps in to
change the practice of blind conservatism.
Au engine on this road is always most care
fully used. After the locomotive is placed
in the hands of an engineer it is carid for
with the watchfulness of a parent's
affection. A most accurate recoid of its
performance is maie, kept and compared
wish that of other enginea. As freight
is paid for per ton per mile, bo the coat of
au engine is reckoned. The amount of
coal consumed per car p?r engine mile
being calculated it i3 easy to see, by di
viding this by the tonage, just how much
coal it takes to move a ton of freight one
engine a mile. And the engine that
does this most successfully ia the cheap
est. Finally, after having traveled
many thousands of miles, having safely
hauled millions cf human beings, onr
locomotive is sent to the shop condemn
ed, d ad. It is igcominiouely bundled off
into a corner to stand with a lot of oth
ers until cut up or sold off. I a imme
diate neighbors may be others like itself,
worn oat, perhaps “died in the harness,”
or again victims of the vain wrath and
assacsin-like- communism cf Pittsburg
xioteis. The little disk that records in
the ftuperentendent’s office its physical
condition baa tnrned black. There is no I
hope. To-morrow a committee of in spec- I
tion will condemn it to be cut to pieces. 1
Into the furnace the parts will go, to
emerge, like the mill where old men were
ground into new, re juvenated, ready to
take a place in some new m^ns-er with
steel heart aud transmigrated soul.
To temporize your health instead of
promptly using Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills,
is not indicative of much thoughtless
ness. Sold by all druggists.
