OJje Constitutionalist. AUGUSTA, 0A..: — Thursday Morning, Sept. 9, 1875. CURRENT TOPICS. Birds the Protectors of Crops. ' lu the craw of a quaii lately killed in Ohio were found one cutworm, twenty-one striped vine bugs and one hundred chinch bugs, but not a tingle grain of corn.”— I Anonymous. We have seen so many instances of this kind that we do not doubt its correctness in a single particular. One day we saw a farmer killing woodpeckers. He was making a general assault upon every bird of that kind on his place. “What are you killing those birds for ? they are not good to eat.” “They are destroying my roast ing ears. They peck holes through the shuck and eat the grain.” “No they don’t. Come over here in the held and I will show you.” We then went to an ear of corn the bird had pecked a hole into, threw back the shuck and show ed him that the woodpecker had not eaten his corn, but had taken a worm from it which was eating it. A large majority of our birds subsist ex clusively upon insects. Many of them eat their own weight every day. Agricultural Credit in the United States. The Financial Chronicle discusses this question and shows that we can have such a credit here as is common in France and in all rich countries but our own We quote: We must build up on a sound, trust worthy model a system of agiicultural credit, must divert into this channel as much of our floating capital as ean be safe ly vested in such permanent forms and converted into fixed capital, take such effective measures and give such complete guarantees as shall attract foreign capital as well as Ameiicau capital into these new channels of investment. And, finally, we must favor the efforts making abroad, by which the business of dealing in our credits, hares, bonds and other values shall not be so much controlled at Paris, Vienna, Ham burg, Berlin or London by reckless specu lators. Extravagance. The Iribune, speaking of the supposed sound condition of California finances and the failure of the Bank of California, says: Be the currency what it may, the work man who drinks away his earnings aDd the business man who gambles away his capi tal will alike come to grief. Be the cur rency’ what it may, varieties of human na ture will still exist, and in every’ land will be found r pendthrifts, gamblers and thieves. It would be just as rational to ar gue that a sound currency was of no bene fit because it had not prevented drunken ness in San Francisco or crime in Sacra mento, as to c'aim that it does no good becau-e It a uston has failed at last. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has recently made a very’important decision touching tire mueh-disi ussed , sub.ect of church taxation. It is that “realestr te held by a religious society, not more than suffi cient in extent to meet its reasonable re quirements in this respect, and devoted by such society in good faith to the erection of a church edifice, upon which the work of erection, ali’eady commenced, is prosecuted without unreasonable delay, is entitled to the exemption from taxation given by’ the statute.” One of the judges dissented from this opinior, desiring it to be emphatically stated that the building erected “must be a house of religious worship,” and used for no other purpose. This would effectually’ exclude church suppers, lotteries, and other inventions of the age. Alluding to the acquittal of the negro Cordy Harris, indicted for participation in the late attempt to incite insurrection in this State, the New York Journal of Cbm merce says : “We are happy to record the pleasant ending of an affair which, at one time, aroused the apprehensions of the 11 lends of peace and harmony between the two races. The negroes ought to be abund antly satisfied now that their white friends will act justly’ and fairly by them; and the call which has been issued urging the col ored race in Georgia, for their own pro tection, to seek a home in some other State, will probably’ fail of effect.” The Chicago Post says to the female un employed: The women must be up and doing if they want anything. Men do not sit still and let the fat positions be forced upon them; they work and log-roll and make acquaintances and secure influence; in short, they ‘bustle around,’ they ‘hump it’—and women, with the milliner’s help, certainly can do that.” * It is reported that Colonel Valentine Bakek intends tovi-itthe United States af ter the term of his imprisonment is over. He will doubtless be accorded an ovation by Brother Sheakman and the saints of Ply mouth Church, but the railroad companies would do well to avoid giving him free passes and to watch him closely when he travels.—lourier-Journal. The Curious Case of General C. A. Evans. • To the Editor of the New York Sun: Sik—ln a recent issue of your paper, under the caption of “A Walking Pin cushion” (taken from the Baltimore Sun a curious story is told of General <J. A. Evans, of Augusta, Ga. How ever much many of your readers may discredit this story, I cannot doubt its truth. I was a clerk under the General from the time of his promotion to the rank of brigadier general until the sur render of the Army of Northern Vir ginia at Appomattox Court House, and knew him well. I was at the field hos pital while the battle of Mouocacy, Md., was going on, and saw him as he was borne in from the field wounded. His wound was of the character mentioned in the story, except that the ball did not go entirely through his body, hav ing lodged just under the skin to the light ot the right nipple. I was by his side and held one of his arms while the surgeon extracted the ball. When the ball was removed several bent pins were observed in the fiesh where it had lodged, which were also taken out. These were four iu number, as well as I can remember, and had been carried there by the ball from a paper of pins which he had iu his left breast pocket. As the wound was an exceedingly painful one, and in a region where, perhaps, it was not deemed advisable to tamper with it, the surgeons did not probe in search of more pins, or if they did the probing was so slight that they found none; and yet it was discovered, in examining the paper of pins in his pocket, that several more than the four I have accounted for had been carried away by the ball, and could not be found anywhere about either his clothing or person. It was my firm belief then that a part, if not all. of the missjug pins were iu his body. The ouly strange thing to me about the matter is that the pins should remain in his body so long, and yet give him no pain. E. A. Mapden. Union Church, Jefferson county, Miss., August 25. “Hoop ’em lively!” yelled a rowdy listener at camp meeting in Dane coun ty, as the enthusiasm was at its height. The brethren “hooped” the intruder about half a mile away, and held his head under water in a mill pond until he agreed to go back and be converted. —[Milwaukee News. GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS. Fourteen newspapers are now published in the Ninth Congressional District. Col. Christy says when he started the Athens Watchman there were only three. Atlanta Commonwealth: The Atlanta and Richmond Air-Line Railroad has gone hard to work. It is having a large run of freight —the freight having increased one hundred per cent, during the last month. r l he road is doing more now than ever before. Columbus Timet w A correspondent at Hamilton. Harris county, Ga., informs us that on Sunday last, .about 4 o’cloc k p. m., live of the prisoners confined in jail at that place made their escape, and, taking to the mountains, were still at large when he wrote yesterday afternoon. Macon Tel graph: Wm. M. Bates, of the firm of Bates & Come , wealthy cotton fac tors of Savannah, died at Griffin yesterday. Mr. Bates was about fifty-four years old, a good business man, and of the finest char acter for probity and intelligence. He was well known among the business men of this city and throughout the State. Atlanta must be desperately hard up for a sensation, it now deliberately tries to get up a crowd from the country to see “the test of the w’ater works. Just imagine a set of fools who have traveled fifty or sixty miles and paid out fifteen or twenty dol lars to see water squirted over a house! If there is a large crowd on hand we will ad vocate tiie enlargement of the Lunatic Asy lum more strenuously than ever. The Atlanta Herald has commenced a libel ?uit against the Georgia Gi’ange and James D. Harrison & Cos. for publishing a statement that H. I. Kimball owned a con trolling interest in the Herald. Messrs, Al ston and Burns publish a card in which they say Kimball does not own a dollar of interest in it. Newnan Star: The religious controversy between Mr. Ed. Monegau and Col. Hugli Latimer continues to wax hotter. It ap pears that some hundred of years ago Cath olics burnt at the stake one of our good friend Latimer’s relations, and i 01. Hugh can’t get over it, so he is determined to take satisfaction out of Ed. Monegan. Cartersville Express; We regret to learn that a brother or our fellow-citizeu. J. D. Head, Esq., got a chicken bone lodged in his throat on Tuesday morning. For some time his life was despaired of, but at pres ent the danger of lire is not so im uiuent. ft is thought that the bone will fester out— it is deemed imprudent to attempt to draw it out. Mr. Head has to keep most; of the time under the influence of opiates. We hope he will soon get rid of the obstacle. Atlanta Herald: We understand, from what we regard as reliable authority, that Gen. Jos. E. Johnston has been appointed, and has accepted the position of Command er-in-Chief of the army of Egypt. Only a short time since, and for the third time, was he tendered the position. This time it was urged upon him so strenuously that he at length consented, and is making his preparation to go over and assume his po sition immediately. He is to get SIOO,OOO to prepar e himself an outfit, and is to receive the sum of $25,000 annually for having su preme control of the army of the Khedive of Egypt. Atlanta Commonwealth: We learn that the negroes hereabouts again have the emigra tion fever. They are now simmering to go to Mississippi. A man from that (state is out here now, working around to get up a crowd to follow him back. He is a preach er. and made this emigration question the topic of his discourses, delivered at some of the negro churches of this place last Sun day. He holds out very flattering induce ments to his brethren to follow him, by as suring them that they can make a great deal more out there than they can here.— He has gone down the Georgia Railroad in pursuit of this business. We understand that there are about one hundred and fifty from Atlanta and the country between here and Stone Mountain, who are to go out to Mississippi this fall. They are to wait here until their crops arc gathered and disposed of, and then leave. Footsteps on the Other Side. The following poem, clipped from a copy of the St. Louis b.vening News of the 19th of Apri., 1862, is as tine a specimen of poetry as the English language contains, ft may not be so grand or powerful as some, but the sad, simple tale it tells, can but endear it to the hearts of all who have ever en dured the bitter trial of waiting for some thing that never came: Sitting in my humble doorway Gazing out into the night, Listening to the stormy tumult, With a kind of sad delight, Wait I for the loved who comes not, One whose steps I long to hear; One who, though he lingers from me, Still is dearest of the dear. Soft he comes—now, heart, be quiet, Leaping in triumphant pride; Oh! it is a stranger’s footstep. Gone by on the other side. All the night seems filled with weeping, Winds are wailing mournfully; And the rain-tears altogether Journey to the restless sea. I can fancy, sea, you murmur, As they with your waters How, Like the grief or single beings Making up a nation’s woe. Branches, bid your guests be silent! Hush a moment, fretful rain ! Breeze, stop sighing, let me listen— God grant not ag .in in va[n ! In my cheek the blood is rosy. Like the blushes of a bride; Joy!—alas! a stranger’s footstep Goes by on the other side! Ah! how many wait forever For the steps that do not come! Wait until the pitying angels Bear them to a peaceful home! Many in the still of midnight , In the streets have lain and died, Whiie the sound of human footsteps Went by on the other side! LENDING MONEY TO “CROOKED” LAWYERS. Questions and Answers. New Yoke, September 1, 1875. Editin' of the Journal of Commerce: Will you please give me your opinion of the following case: About six months ago, I made the acquaintance of an (as it then appeared) honorable lawyer. A short time after, he pleaded of being momentarily finan cially embarrassed and succeeded iu obtaining from me a loan of SSCO, he giving me a note for $00(1, making at the time time the remark that he vol untarily and gladly advanced the SIOO as the money was worth that much to him, aud easily overcoming remon strances and actual refusal to take such a bonus! This Dote became due aud was not paid, but at his request I took about 18 days later anew note of same con cents, with the exception of making it six days, and returned him the first note. This last note on maturity was not pail either, and I have since been unable to get any money, although I had the note protested. I have called on him several times, but my ouly re turn was abusive language. Now I propose to insert a copy of his note, giving his individual name and name of his firir. in the leading daily papers, offering the same for sale. The ques tions I should like to have answered are the following : 1. Could you or the law consider this note of any value ? 2. Could he (the lawyer) say that I demanded unlawful interest, although it was voluntarily paid or promised ? 3. Could he (the lawyer) by any trick or lawyer’s device involve me iu a law suit for either usury or obtaining un lawful interest ? 4. Could he (the lawyer) on flndiug the insertion in the daily papers, sue me for damages, or involve mo iu auy other law difficulties. Yours, respectfully, Trouble. fieply—l. The note is only worth at the rate of three cents a pound for pa per stock. 5. As the holder of the note had de manded his pay (i. e, has asked for s6oofoi SSOO lent) lie may be sa:d to haye demanded unlawful interest. 3. The only way the lawyer could in volve our trusting friend would be to pay the note; ho could then prosecute him for usury. He seems not likely to do this: but if he should, all risk may be avoided, if the money should be tendered, by accepting only the sum actually lept and simple interest on it to the day of payment, 4. If the note were advertised for sale without any libelous reflections on the maker, the act would aot be illegal. The best way is, however, for our friend to pocket his loss, and throw away no more good money for poor I The lawyer probably designed the rob bery when he gave the note. Such an act is worse than sneak-thievery, but it is not within the reach of the law, and this the rogue knew when he com mitted It. It is a shame that our statutes should give occasion for such a wrong. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. REGISTRY I.IS i OPENED.

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper. TIIL cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, £nd Is made into a very even lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pouuds per hour. The laps are then ttnished on a TWO-BEATER LAPPER, WITH KITSON’S PATENT EVENER Attahed, and owing to roccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for the card, only varies ono quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is safer from fire than the card ru un. There is al-o a great saving of room and power over the old system. These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac turing Company, ami at the best mi us at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore etc.. etc. The following are a tew among many testimonials whien we nave received: AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875. The Kitson Machine Company, Loucll, Mass.: Gentlemen: We have been running your Compound Opener Lappors and Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, lor moie than one year, and 1 rankiy say that they have given the most eminent satisfaction. We liava no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines. F. COGIN, Superintendent. 0 OFFICE LANGLEV MANUFACTURING COMPANY, f . LANGLEY, S. 0., April 14, 1873. ) The Kitson Machine Company , Lowell, Mass.: Gentlemen. '.v ve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher Lappers, witu Eveners, tor more than two vears nact nt the Cotton Mill of tne Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the mo-t satisfactory of any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e have not weighed a pound of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its secur'ty against fire. Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent. o OFFICE MASSACHUSETTS COTTON MILLS, 1 Lowell, February 20, 1874.
