lirt-r bv Gov. Smith on tlio <th iusf.
Tho Atlanta Herald lias been assur
otl liv (!ov. Smith that “ho is not a

circumstances, ho a candidate for the
Governorship.” .Jess-so. “ Briug i

The Washington Star, of tin - Ith j

within a few weeks.”

Boss Tween. -On last Sunday night
Boss Tweed succeeded in making bis
escape from custody. Ho went i;i
charge of officers to his home in New
York to vi.dfc his wife, whom he said
lie desired to see alone, lie was per
mitted to enter their private apart
ment alone, and that was the last
seen of him. Twenty minutes after
bis escape word reached every police
station in the city, and a reward of
ten thousand dollars has been offer
ed for his arrest. Up to the latest ac
counts no cine as to his wherea
bouts had been obtained, but it is
thought that he is still in the city and
that he will be captured.
It is whispered from Washington
that President Grant, having failed
to run down the fox called Cuba, is
now in mil cry after the fox called
Mexico, and that the hounds which
we heard the other day at Key West
and on the south Atlantic coast will
sown be baying along the lii > Grand. .
It is a grave mi duke for l'resideut
Grant to imagine that any war policy
will so far condone the errors of his
administration and so far accustom
the people to the violation of a great
constitutional provision so as to allow
him to win a third term. If his
friends should, even under tlio inspi
ration of a war cry, nominate him for
a third term it will be. -bad for the
republican party.— Sew York Herald.
New Varieties op Skoar Cane.—
There is anew movement on foot,
among influential men in Louisiana,
says tlio Savannah News, to induce
the next Congress to fit out another
vessel for tlio purpose of collecting
varieties of the hardest sugar canes
of South America and the Imlios for
culture in Louisiana. This move
ment is actuated by the knowledge
that thcr • are species of cane which
can be cultivated much more advan
tageously than that already grown in
the State, and which will be of vast
interest to this growing industry
there. Experiments with Java cane
have been tried recently, but the re
sult was unsuccessful, the stalk being
very thin and really of no more value
than sorghum. From seed of Sagua
La Grande (Cuba) cane, however,
the results were all that could bo de
sired. Tlio cane is of a whitish color,
with a rich brown on the side subject
to the sun. There are said to bo
many varieties adapted to our soil
and climate which the Louisianians
are determined to procure.
Education in Virginia.
Mr. Editor: “The number of pupils
attending schools of all sorts in the
counties now constituting Virginia
was: In 1850, 51,808; in 1860, 07,024;
in 1870, 58,974. Observe the wide
contrast in school attendance: In
1800, 07,024; in 1875 it is 207,771 J
Iu Richmond, Va., in the year 1872,
it cost on an average $43.29 to send a
child to a private school for nine
months (taking the average of schools
and academies); (ho cost in tlio- pub
lic schools of Richmond for the same
length of time was $13.41. To edu
cate tlie 4,000 children on the rolls of
(.he public schools in that city would
cost nearly $200,000. It actually cost
that year less than $02,000, a saving
of $138,0001” — Dr. IV* I‘. S. Report.

Congress.
This body met last Monday, and
for the first time since 1859 a majority
of the members of the House of Rep
resentatives arc democrats- Jus. L.
Orr, of South Carolina, who was j
elected in 1857, bring the last demo-1
(■ratio speaker.
The present -the forty-fourth
Congress is fresh from tlie people,
and even in its organization it can be
plainly seen that the representatives
of the different sections reali/.o the;
fact that they have been commissioned j
to put an end to the recklessness, ex
travagance and corruption which have
been the order of the day for now
these many years.
Hon. Micheal C. Kerr, of Indiana,
the new speaker cleat, is a man who
has been in Congress before, and ;
during a period, too, when corruption
was supreme iu the capital of the
' country. He has proven himself to j
be a mini- oilinflexihlii convictions and
sure integrity, and all honest, high- •
minded people feel gratified at seeing .
him in the important position he has
boon chosen to occupy, and have the
greatest confidence in his fair and in- j
corruptible administration.
An analysis of the new Congress
shows that tlio Senate consists of j
forty-three Republicans, twenty-eight,
Democrats and two Independents,
besides the contested seat from Lou
isiana. The whole number of repre
sentatives is two hundred and seventy
five, of which one hundred and
sixty-four are Democrats, one hun
dred and two Republicans and six
Independents.
Geo. M. Adams, of Kentucky, lias
been elected Clerk of the House, and
1 Lafayette A. Fitzhugb, of Texas,
' Doorkeeper. They are both Demo
crats, and the latter was Sergeaut-at-
Arms for the Confederate Congress.

The following is the speech made
by Mr. Kerr ppoii taking his scat as
Speaker of the House:
Gentlemen of the House of Ri:pre
[ sentatives: I am truly gratified for
j the honor you have conferred in call
ing me to this exalted station, i
I profoundly appreciate the importance
i and delicacy of its duties. I shall,
j doubtless, many times need your pa
i tient indulgence. I pray that you
will grant it, and with nothing but
kindly feeling toward every member
|of the House, I promise that in all
: official acts I will' divest myself, to
i the utmost of my ability, of all ptr
-1 uonal bias, and observe complete fair
ness and impartiality towards all, and
towards all the great mid diversified
interests of our country represented
iu this House.
Two hundred and eighty niemh tk
were present. In swearing in the
members, Messrs. Morey, of Louis
iana, and Goode, of Virginia, were
asked to stand a, hie, as they were
contested. A motion to refer Mr.
! Morey’s credentials, after a warm
discussion, failed, and he was sworn
in. Mr. Goode, after a short discus
: siou, was also sworn in.

Later from Tweed.
New York, December C. — Inspec
tor Dilks believes that Tweed is on
ihe ocean. There is good reason to
: believe that he made his escape many
i hours before it was reported. It is
j generally believed that Warden Dun
ham ami Keeper Hogan are privy to
the escape, and that. Tweed embarked
i on some private craft iu East river, in
] which lie is now sailing for a foreign
| port. Tweed’s cases, which were up
! to-day, were postponed.
An afternoon paper has the follow
ing regarding Tweed’s flight: The
most probable theory is that Tweed
escaped in the bark Lord Clarendon
j which cleared November 11th for
Queenstown. The story is that a rel
ative of Tweed, not residing here, and
; known to but few in this city, reach
led here some three weeks since and
purchased the bark Lord Clarendon.
She is a tine vessel of excellent snil
j ing qualities. The theory is that the
Lord Clarendon was chartered for
i Tweed by his relatives, who sailed on
I her. It is raid a vessel looking like
her lias been seen off the east end of
: Long Island. It is supposed that
. Tweed was conveyed on board by a
j steam tug lying in East River on Sat
' unlay evening, and was taken on
! board the Lord Clarendon. The
name of the firm which cleared the
, Lord Clarendon is not in the directo

Transportation ami Commerce.
OOV. SMITH INVITES GEORGIA TO REND
DELEGATES TO OUICACO —HIS VIEWS
ON THE INDUSTRIAL AND COM
MERCIAL DEI'RKSSION.
Executive Department, \
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2, 1875. )
To : lb ii.k ii# Georgia:
I have received from the American
board of transportation and com- j
meroo an invitation to appoint repre
sentatives from the State of Georgia
to a convention to bo held in tlio city
of Chicago, 111., on the 15th of the
present month.
Tlie object of the meeting is to so
cure the benefits of cheap transporta
tion to all sections of the country, j
and its friends invoke the aid and .
assistance of all the great industries
of the laud, as theso have a common
interest, and a common cause in this j
question. There is nothing so essen
tial to prosperity as is this matter of j
I transportation, and the true cause of
our present commercial depression
may be traced iu a great measure to
its inadequacy. Our coal anil iron
i fields are idle and undeveloped
because it costs too much to move
their products from the interior to a
; market. Our vast water power is
unoccupied beenuse tlio c'ost of pro
i duction consumes the profit, and all
l this due to inability to move our
products cheaply. AVith natural ro
i sources greater perhaps than any
1 nation upon earth, the export of our
! domestic products is below some of
the second-class powers of Europe.
; England, with a territory which does
j not greatly exceed in extent the State
l of Georgia, exceeds in the value of
her exports all the States of the Union
! combined, and in tlio last ten yours
i has added $237,000,000 to that export ;
I while France, during the same po
! riod, has added $220,000,000 to her
export of domestic products. During
i this period, however, the export of
the United States has seriously de
i cliued. This is due to the fact that
| these countries have devoted great
attention to the improvement of their
public highways, thereby lessening
the cost of transport, aud with it the
j cost of production; while our people
| have neglected this matter almost en
tirely. England has expended $400,-
000,000 upon the highways of her
I East Indian provinces, and the result
) is that the cotton of India, which u
few years ago was looked upon with
i indifference and almost contempt,
| rivals us to-day in European markets,
j and may prove a serious rival to ns
at homo.
Our export of cotton has seriously
declined, while that of India has
j steadily increased, and is surely driv
ing ns out of the market. Russia,
with her vast artificial inland naviga
i lion, carries wheat and grain to west
j era Europe at a less cost than we can
do it, and to-day she controls the
market for breadstufi's that a few
years ago belonged to us. This is
ihe cause of our commercial deprea
j siou. This is why our mills are idle,
and our iron and coal fields are un
developed.
Other countries produce cheaper,
and they undersell us and take away
our trade, because they movo their
| products cheaper than we do. The
; consequence is, we buy more than we
sell, and everybody knows that this
jis not conducive to prosperity. It
1 drains the gold out of the country,
and reduces us, for domestic use, to a
paper currency, which, so long as wo
continue to buy more than wo sell,
j must remain at a discount as com
pared with gold.
The presence of gold is the result
of commercial prosperity and not the
cause of that prosperity. To bring
back gold we must first bring back
j our commercial prosperity, and this
| can only be done by selling more
i than we buy. Let us do this, and
the gold will come back to us, and if
|we sell a great deal more than we
i buy, it will be very abundant, just as
j money is always plentiful with you
i when von make wliat you need, and
have a large surplus to sell, and a
! good market for that surplus. AYo
have the surplus, aud to secure the
I good market wo must adopt every
proper means fur lessening the cost
|of our products so as to compete
; successfully with the products of
' other countries, and still have a profit
!to the producer. Most of our pro
j duets are heavy, and when it becomes
• necessary to haul these over long
distances, the cheapest means possi
! bio is requisite to ensure this profit to
the producer. Hence them portance
| of looking to the natural channels of
i trade supplied by our rivers, as the
cheapest and best means of moving
■ our heavy products, while other modes
| of transportation should not bo ueg
. looted.
History teaches that the wealthiest
j and most powerful nations of the old
; world were those who paid most at
-1 tontion to their public highways, and
tlio same is true to-day. England,
France, Russia and Germany have
devoted time, labor and money to all
of their highways, and especially to
their rivers and canal, and they are
great and prosperous, while wo are
told that “ripain lias done almost
nothing towards improving her in
ternal navigation.” In these two
words, “almost nothing,” may be
found the measure of her present
j financial and political status. She
controlled at one time the gold of the
j world, but she did “almost nothing”
for her highways, and consequently
j her commerce and her industries lan
guished, her gold went to pay the
I excess of what she bought above
! what she sold, and in time it was
swept away, and Spain, ouco “the
magnificent,” is to-day a proverb of
political and financial insignificance.
I And so with Mexico and Fern. They
j trusted to their gold. Like Spain,
' they neglected their highways, and
with these their commerce and in
dustries, and we have the result be
lt'sens. Let us profit by the lesson.
We possess a wealth that cannot be
exhausted—the wealth of agricultural
mil iudtixlrial products For the one J
is renewed with each returning season,
and the other is expanded with each :
succeeding generation until they be- j
come as boundless and us exhauctless i
as the gifts of Providence. Let us ns j
good stewards ineroaso and develop,
for the good of our race, these price- j
less gifts bestowed by n wise and
gracious Providence.
If to make two blades of grass
grow where only one grow before is
of more value to mankind than the
founding of empires, is it not equally |
important to provide tho means of j
taking this surplus blade to a market,.
and not suffer it to remain wasting j
and worthless upon tho hands of tho |
producer f
The great need of our State is a di- j
versified industry. AVo have cotton, ;
iron, and coal, and wo need tho man
ufacturer, and tlio miner. AVo need
also that tho producer and tlio con- !
snmer bo brought together, and the ;
means provided for making labor
profitable. A careful examination j
| convinces mo that the cost of trails-1
pollution is tho most serious hin-|
i dranee and draw back to develop
! moot. Tlio fact is clear and unques
tionable and it behooves us to provide \
! a remedy. That remedy may be
i found in part in the improvement of
I our rivers and the connection of these
!by such artificial means as maybe
best and cheapest. Tho government
iof tho United States is the coustitn-;
! tional guardian of these rivers, aud is
! the only competent power to improve
laud control them, aud from that
I source we should seek tlio itnprove
• incuts called for. Gur rivers and nat
j ural internal navigation should bo
kept open aud maintained as free pnb
• lie highways for the benefit aud use of
j everybody. This of itself would go
; far towards solving tho question of
transportation, bv building up a le
gitimate competition which in the end
\ would be as beneficial to the railroad
as to any other interest in tho land.
Eiperionce teach - s that th.iso roads
' have proved tho most profitable
: where water and rail supplement each
| other. The heavy freights seek th:
| water line, while the lighter go b y
rail. The canal and river belong to
the farmer and to the producer, be
j cause their products are heavy and
need tho cheapest means of move
i meat, while articles of luxury can af
: ford the inure costly modes of trails
! port. The readv and profitable sale
lof the article of necessity, however,
increases the demand of tlio luxury,
i and thus tho account is balanced.
There should, therefore, bo no false
antagonism between them, because
I the result aimed at is the same.
] AA'hilo upon this point I cannot for
befcr expressing the conviction that
’ most of the troubles of tho country
spring out of efforts to secure lcgisla
j lion in favor of this or that interest
: irrespective of all other interests.
Hence the bitter hostility which has
siciii times mining up. The industries
of a country are not naturally hostile
to each i ! her any more than are the
members 3f the human body. They
have each,their separate functions to
perform, but iu reality they are de-
I pendent upon each other not only for
i p ospority but for existence. Instead
| therefore of fighting, they should
moot together iu harmony and con
sult for their This is
i what the convention proposes.
AVe, of the cotton States, have no
; war to make on tho other industries
of tho country. On the contra-
I ry, our true interests will be
I found in promoting those
j industries as far as possible. Aud to
! this end we should labor. In the mi-
I ner of Georgia desirous of destroying
i tho mining interests of the country V
) Can the cotton planter live without
j the cotton manufacturer? Can either
j ilo without the farmer? Since all are
i dependent on each other, is it not the
j best policy to unite, if possible, in
oar efforts for advancement and
prosperity, and to let those efforts
be for tlio material advancement of
; all.
The subject of the proposed con
vention is to meet this cud, aud it is
I desirable that all tho great interests
of the country should be represented
in that body. Let the planter and
the farmer, and the railroad and the
steamboat, and the telegraph, and
| the miner, and the manufacturer,
all bo represented. Let them con
sult together upon these questions
| which most intimately effect their
respective interests.. Let their coun
j ciiiugs be for the restorations of pub-
I lie prosperity, and if the name sound
good sense which characterizes tlie
! ordinary business transactians of our
j people bo brought to bear on this
question, it will do more towards a
solution than all the fine spun theo
ries of tho present generation.
In compliance with the request
made of me, I therefore respectfully
; invite and urge upon tho respective
j loaards of trade, the granges and the
i agricultural societies and other or
ganizations and interests to send del
egates to this meeting.
James M. Smith,
Governor.

Clippings from Our Exchanges, j
The Buena Vista Argue says that a j
horse, belonging to a gentleman near ;
town, catches and eats all tho chick-1
ons that come within his reach. It is j
supposed that lie once belonged to a i
Methodist preacher.
Tho Griffin News says: Mr. John j
11. AYliito returned yesterday from a
long tour through Texas, lie reports i
that State in a very prosperous con-1
dition, and gives it as liis opinion
that there is more cotton now in tho j
fields unpicked in Texas than the
whole cotton crop of Georgia would
aggregate.
The Sumter Republican says John 1
Sims, of that county, has a piece of |
cotton cloth woven iu 1700, by Mrs. |
Felts, the great-grandmother of Mrs.
Sims. Tho texture was very fine, and
the cloth looked as if it had just been !
taken from the loom. The words,
"woven in 1700,” were plainly visible |
.on tho cloth.
Thus tho Buena Vista Argus: Air. !
Tharp, of this county, raised on his j
place this year, fifteen hales of cotton,'
ono hundred bushels of corn, one!
hundred bushels of sweet potatoes,
! and three barrels of syrup with one]
mule. Yet there are men in this I
State planting for a graveyard iu
] Texas.
The Union and R eorder says that
Dr. Bowen died at the Asylum last
; Wednesday. He had been an inmate !
of tlie Asylum for several years. Be- j
fore he became insane ho was a mis- j
• sionary to Africa, and published a ]
hook on that country. Ho was aj
! gentleman of learning, and an author j
!of some distinction. Ha was buried
iu the cemetery of that city on Fri- :
; day.
The Monroe Advertiser says: AVe
mentioned some time since the receipt
from L'apit. Merritt of some large]
Irish potatoes, six weighing four
pounds. As no ouo (.‘be would beat)
ibat, (..‘apt. M. tried himself and j
brought six more that weighed eight j
pounds. He doesn't brag, but we ]
will do that for him aud nay wo do :
not believe th so potatoes can be!
beaten.
Dalton i'li.b',') rise: Four wagons, i
] with returned Georgians from Texas, l
pi. ed : hruugh Dalton last week. 1
From tim way t: oy talked, and judg
ing from the bright smiles that illu-1
i minuted the women’s faces while they
told of their hardships in Texas, aud
! their joy at returning to their native
State, one would think that going to
Texas was a fearful experiment.
Tho Mobile Register says: Up to
very recently Europe was the word
that sounded on the cars of all North
ern persons iu bad health, hut now
. “tho South” is rapidly taking Ls
j place. Our section of country is
fairly beginning to attract that atten
tion which it justly merits as a health
resort, and so we know tho battle is
, more than half won.
M niroo A l■’ O'/*- - ••: A correspond
out from Upson county says that
cholera is killing off the begs in that
: county. Wo learn that tho disease is
prevailing in the upper portion of
j this county, in the Unionville neigh
borhood. Many hogs there have
j died from tho disease. A gentleman
from Brantley"(i district told ns that
his hogs were sick and refused to eat.
It is likely they have the cholera, aud
wo very much fear that the disease
will become general in tho county.
The porkers are scarce enough now,
and if the cholera takes off the few
j left in tho country, pork raising will
be among tho “lust arts” for many
yeais to come.
The Toccoa Herald says: Mr. Mor
: rison AA'illiam?, who resides on Middle
river, in Franklin county, ran a one
horse farm this year, and made 700
bushels of corn and nine 400 piound
bales of cotton. Mr. Williams hired
labor to the amount of $75 only, aud
, used $35 worth of fertilizers outside
I of his own compost, making an outlay
lof cash capital of sllO. Now, if he
: sells his corn at seventy-five cents pier
bushel amThis cotton at twelve cents
, per pound, he will realize the sum of
$857. After deducting the cost of
labor and fertilizers, he has a balance
on hand of $751.
The Fort Valley Mirror remarks: A
singular case of somnambulism oc
curred in this town on Friday night.
Little Bobbie AValiis, the grandson of
Mr. Bland AValiis, Sr., retired for the
niglit feeling a little feverish. During
his sleep he dreamed that someone
was after him with a sharp stick. He
got up ami tied from tlie house in his
night clothe::, and nhap'cd his course
directly to the swamp. He ran far
I into the swamp), scratching himself
with briars and wading through the
water and g( Ring completely wet,
; before 1.0 awoke. Asa matter of
course, he was very much bewildered,
i and wandered about for some time
before ho found the road and reached
home.
A correspondent of the Savannah ;
Near:: says: Unity informed Boanerges !
that ha was a consummate scoundrel
and then branched off and told him
what he thought of him. The wound-
I ed honor of Boanerges demanded a
j sanguinary satisfaction; a challenge;
; was let loose aud tlie bclieose parties
met at midnight on tho 3d instant.
The weapons were pistols, distance ]
' thirty puces. Boanerges was as vnl
| orous as a conquering hero, but Lis
legs, like those of Lieut. Talbot, were
confoundedly cowardly. At the first
fire he fell with a heavy thud to the
earth in a state of unconsciousness,
and Huffy departed under the delu
sion that he had mortally wounded
| his antagonist. Both of the duellists
have since been invisible, and they
will learn here, for the first time, that
their seconds observed the precaution
of loading the deadly weapons with j
blank charges. The trembling war-1
riors can now come forth into the
light of day.

carefully selecting one of the largest and handsomest assortments of

My goods were bought at remarkably low prices, and I can afford to sell them as
cheap as any other merchant in this section.
My old cut omens and the public generally are respectfully invited to call and'
examine goods and prices for themselves.
