©je Constitutionalist AUaUSTA, GJ±.z Saturday Morning, September 11,1875. CURRENT TOPICS The Ohio Bugaboo. So much has been said of the “Geghan bill,” passed by the Ohio Legislature last winter, that our readers may be curious to lead it. We give it below. It is the same as the ‘ Religious Liberty Law,” passed by the Republican Legislature of Minnesota. Hero it is: An act to secure liberty of conscience in matters of religion to persons imprisoned or detained by authority of law: . w ection 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That as liberty of conscience is not forfeited by reason of conviction of crime, or by reason of detention in any penal, reformatory or eleemosynary institution, or any house of refuge, workhouse, jail or public asylum in this State, no person in such institution shall be compelled to attend religious wor ship or instruction of a form which is against the dictates of his or her con science; and it shall be the duty of every director, trustee, superintendent or other person having in charge any such institu tion to lurnish ample and equal facilities to all such persons for receiving the ministra tions of the authorized clergymen of their own religious denominations and persua sions, under such reasonable rules and regulations as the trustees, directors, man ..gets or superintendents shall make; but no such rules shall be so construed as to prevent the clergymen of any denomina tion from fully administering the rites of his denomination to such inmates, provided such ministration entails no expense upon the public treasury. An act almost precisely similar was passed by the Massachusetts Legislature— a Republican body — at its last session, as follows: “ An ae: to provide for religious instruc tion in prison. Be it enacted, etc., as fol lows: “ section 1. No inmate of any prison, jail or house of correction in this Common wealth shall he denied the free exercise of iiis religious belief and liberty of worship ing GoU according to the dictates of his conscience, witiiin tlie place where such in mate may be kept or confined; and it shaii be the duty of the officers end boards of officers having the management and direc tion of any such institutions to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the intent and provisions oi this act. “ Sec. 2. Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to impair the discipline of any prison, so far as may be needful for the good government and-safe custody of its inmates. “ sec. 3 This act shall take effect upon its passage.” " [Approved April 15th, 1875.]” Terrible, is it not ? What a Savage Thinks of French Art and Morals. During his stay in Paris the Sultan of Zanzibar wrote long letters daily to his fa vorite Sultana at home, giving his impres sions of travel. Describing a visit to the opera the Sultan says: There was so much cold water about this performance that the temperature went down, I do not knowhow many degrees. All the roses of the flower girl Bekthe were frozen. This flower girl presented me with a remarkable bouquet, which I hope to hi ing back to the seraglio. It will bo faded, but it will give you a pert fume of Paris. I offered to bring Bekthe herself. But I found she was an innocent young girl, who wants to show in the heart of the opera that virtue still exists in the world. She is pretty. Her hair is like the wheat of Turkey and her eyes like the beaten of Mahomet. In tho eve ning she sells flowers at the opera; in the morning she has her shop in the Champs Elysees, where everybody goes for her bouquets. They say she knows more than any w oman in Paris about fashionable love affairs. She could draw up the tariff of fashionable hearts. Sending a bouquet is a declaration of war. To know how to make a bouquet is to control the speech of flow ers—a language everywhere spoken. If I ever have a college at Zanzibar I shall es tablish a professoress of the language of flowers. All the pretty Parisians who are still in town attended this performance at the opera. The more they expose them selves tire prettier they think they are They are charming, and with them one for gets what bad politicians the Parisians have. It is to be hoped that their wives will lead them back to common sense by the nose, otherwise the whole generation will go 1 > the dogs. Cost of Solomon’s Temple. According to the computation of Vill al pandus, the value of the talents of gold, silver and brass used in the construction of i he temple amounted to $34,399,107,500. The jewels are reckoned to have exceeded this sum, but for the sako of an estimate are set down for the same amount. The ves sels of gold consecrated to the use of the temple are reckoned by Josephus at 140,000 talents, which, according to Chapel’s re duction, are equal to $2,726,181,000. The v essels of siluer are computed at $2,446,720,- 000. The silver vestments at $10,000,000; and the other musical instruments at $200,- OiK). To these expenses must be added those of other materials—the timber and the rtone, and of the labor employe 1 upon them, divided thus: there were ten thou i nd men at Lebanon hewing timber; there were ten thousand bearers of burden; there were twenty thousand hewers of stone; and three thousand t ight hundred over seers, all of whom were employed for seven years, and upon whom, besides their wages aud diet, Solomon bestowed about $33,600,- 000 in donations. The daily wages and food are estimated to have been $469,386,000; and the costly stone and timber, in the r ough, are set down to be worth about one third that of the gold, silver and brass, or $12,726,480,000. This makes the grand total of the cost of this magnificent structure the sum of $87,212,152,000. This is sufficient to pay the estimated indebtedness of the whole world four times over!

This rapid and extraordinary increase is due to the impetus given of late years to Russia cotton industry. Russian cotton goods are finding markets in the far-extended East—ln those Asiatic coun tries lately annexed, and also in Knokand, Kashgar and other neighboring Asiatic nations having treaties of friendship and commerce with Russia. In all these coun tries English goods brought lrom East India cannot compete with the Russian article. GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS. The young man who raises a bale of cot ton is doing more for Georgia than the thousand men who whittle pine sticks and wonder when money will be < asier. The Griffin Messenger publisher e long cock and bull story about a negro ins lrrec tion in Henry county. We are getting tired of this humbuggery. Atla'ita (bmmonwialth: The notorious Joe Crews, of South Carolina, tvas shot yesterday in Laurens county 7 . We do not approve of the manner of his takir g off, but his going will be a God-send to the people of that county. Macon Telegraph: J. C. Dunlap, of At lanta, had his teeth stolen about three years ago, and found them a few days since among the plunder of a negre thief. This shows what experts they have ia that city. Always ahead, you see. The Columbus Times reports the srle of the large real estate of the late Se aborn Jones, on Tuesday 7 , at much belosv its value. The old homestead and six ;y-o e acres of laud only brought lifteeu hundred dollars, though the house alone cost i welve thousand dollars befoi e the war. 'i he Carnak place and eighty acres of land in Wynnton, sold for fifteen hundred dollars, and three stores on Broad street, tvo of which rent for eleven hundred dollars .were knocked off at thirty-eight hundred dollars. Marietta Journal: Two or three years ago Mr. R. t. Goodman received from Au gusta a young alligator, which he put into his mill pond, two miles from town. Strange to say, another alligator has made his appearance in the pond, and two have been seen swimming about together. How can this propagation be accounted for ? * * Mr. GeoTge Kirk has kept working his mine near Kennesaw Mountain until his labors have been rewarded. He was in town Monday with rocks full of gold. The precious metal is pronounced by our jewel er, A. D. Ruede. to be the genuine article. Judge Hammett has an interest ii this mine, and already golden visions of wealth rise up before him. Columbus Enquirer The first ei gage men t entered on the books of the opera House is that of the Hutchinson frmily, who are to be here on October 12th. Thus far only fifteen troupes have positively ar ranged for dates. Among the actors em braced in the list are Edwin Booth; Ray mond (Colonel Seders); Lotta, who, accoi* uing to Brougham, is the ''champagne cocktail” of the American stage; the Fifth Avenue Combination, and othei s of lesser note. If the season be prosperous, the South will be deluged with companies. The ean-eaners will bo certain to come for the gi atilication of the bald-headed men, who think “it’s naughty but it’s nice. ’ * * * Mr. P. S. Morrison, who killed Mr. Mobley in Harris county, is still inail at Hamilton. Gen. L. 8. Gartroll and Mr. J. H. Smith have been employed to defend him, and Hon. B. H. Hill retained by the prosecution. The Superior Court m ;ets in Hamilton, the second Monday in October. * * Mr. Poindexter Cherry, who was shot last week in Stewart country, by the two Cain brothers, died Tuesday morning about seven o’clock at his residence near Lumpkin. Marietta Journal: A runaway 7 accident occurred last Friday evening on the square. In which Mr. Joseph Coryell of this p|aee, and Miss Minnie Ives of Augusta, were thrown violently from a buggy and hurt. The horse they were driving is a flue, spir ited animal, aud took flight at the polite lifting of a hat by a young gentleman to the young lady. Miss Minnie was handling the lines at the time, but Mr. Coryell seized the reins with his right hand aud t . ied to prevent the lady’s falling out with his left. The horse ran towards the old M irietta Hotel con.or, and at tnat point gave a sud den turn, which threw both of them out on the ground—the lines broke and the horse dashed on, stopping at the gate fronting Col. Rood’s residence, wiiere the couple first got into the buggy. Miss Miu n o received a bruise on nor foreherd and une side of her face had the skin pealed off. Mr. Coryell had his left arm bruised and skinned and a sligtit gash cut on his head. Both were kindly cared for and are them selves again. Miss ives acted the part of a heroine, neither screaming nor fainting, but acted with a presence of mind few possess under such . ircuinstances. She is a beauti ful young lady and is spending a visit with some of her Staunton schoolmates, aud her relative Mr. R. C. Kerr. Mr. Joseph Coryell is one of our most respe. table and highly esteemed young me > and regrets tlie accident very much, but it was one of those unforseen eveats which could not possibly have been averted. Atlanta Herald: Yest -rday, in conversa tion with Mr. Wm. Heriing, of Augusta, who has control of SBB,OOO of the bends of the Roiling Mill, he said if the proposition made by W. W. Clark is not accepted by the general creditors and the Rolling M i 11 Com pany we will foreclose our mortgage at once. The proposition is to postpone our right to foreclose our mortgage ant bring the property to sale, on condition that we are paid from the products of sai I Liolliug Mill, or otherwise, by the Ist day ber, 1870, one-tenth of their bonds and all ac crued interest up to that time, and ten per cent, of the remaining bonds, and with all accrued interest annually up to and including the Ist day of September, 1875. On their part the general creditors were to agree never in any way to litigate the legality of the issue, the sale, price paid, the interest, or in any way seek to postpone, litigate, or interfere with the payment of said bonds, principal and interest. Also, the general creditors were to agree, should the first terms above fail to be complied with, to relinquish their claims to said Rolling Mill and turn over to the bond holders aforesaid the possession of he mill and property, even before the foreclosure; shall keep the mill insured for the benefit of the bondholdei s; also, may elect to have the mortgage foreclosed and the mill sold, if any portion of them (the said general creditors) refuse to agree and be bound by this contract. What tire South Says to Her Children. BY MARGARET J. PRESTON. I have smoothed from my forehead its sad ness; ’Tis over! r J hank Heaven therefor! I would hide now with garments of glad ness Tho sackcloth and ashes of war. Not a word of the past! It has perished, Gone down in its beauty and gloc m; Yet because it so proudly was cheri shed, Shall we sigh out our years at its tomb ? But the beauty and honor undaunted. Still steadfast and stern as can bo; By the laurels a Jackson has plants ;1— By tho hopes that we buried with Lee; Let us wrest from the futuro the guerdons That to resolute purpose belong; Let us fling from our spirits their burdens, And acquit us like men and be strong! I bring you, compatriots, brothers, (As largess ye dare not disdain, Like Nature’s that bountiful mother’s), Savannas as smooth as the main ! My valleys Shall whiten all over With snows never born of the cold; And grain, like a Midas, shall cover Every slope that it touches with gold. The clink of the artisan’s hammer Shall scare from the forest its gloom; In the brake shall the water-fowl’s clamor Be drowned by the crash of the loom! Then up from your torpor, ye sleepers! The dream ye are dreaming deee: ve -; Goforth to the fields with the reapers, Aud garner the prodigal eheaves! With flocks glahlen meadow and m ountain, With tinkling h rds speckle each hill, And blend with tho splash of the fountain, The rumble and ioar of the mill. Brave hearts that have wielded tlie sabre, Staunch spirits that stood by the gun, Take heed of the Gospel of Labor; The old dispensation is done! Put hands to the plow of endeavor, Plant foot in tiie deep-furrowed track; Set face to the future and never One wavering moment look back ! For none who despairingly centre Their thoughts on the by-gone, and ban 'J he present, are fitted to outer The on-coming kingdom of man Sacrilegious Thieves ok the Past. — For a few days past workmen have been engaged iu tearing down the old Presbyterian Church at Clinton, Arm strong county, thirty-five miles from this city, preparatory to the building of anew edifice. This church was built about thirty years ago, and v hen the workmen in tearing down the structure came to the foundations, they natu rally made a dash for the corner stone to see the relics of thirty yei.rs ago. Judge of their surprise to find the box in the corner stone empty. There wasn’t a “relic” of any sort. It asinuch as there are people who are willing to take a Bible oath that they ; >yt gold and silver coin in the box at the time of the corner stone laying, the only presumption is that somebodj got his work in on the corner stone just after it was laid and cleaned it of its valua bles. It might be a hard job for the detectives to “work up” that robbery now, —[Pittsburg Leader, LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

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 room. s*Thci e is al- o a meat saving of room and power over the old system. These Machines may bo seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac turing Company, and at the best mi.is at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc. The lollowing are a low among many testimonials whicn we nave received: AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.

The staple is not iniured 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 lire. Yours, Ac., M. F.
