In explanation of tbo nb .vp an

lias been tin object of my esp end

It is therefore but natural that I, as

The Georgia Li'gisi.atcuk met yes
terday, and this session will undoubt
edly be one of the most important ev
er held in the State since the war.
Aside from the several qu-stions af
fecting the e tmmoiiwculth at largo,
which arc to come before the body,
each representative, if we are to judge
by what we read in the papers, goes
to the capital pregnant with a gener
al assortment of local bills. Some of
them want a “dog law,” (one of whom
we are which) others want a “liquor
law,” tlie sports would like to have a
“game law,” an insignificant few are
trying to wipe out half of tlie coun
ties, whilst others still say, “let us
have a con. '.itutumal convention.”
Questions of this kind will certainly
furnish thunder for a speech from
every man in the General Assembly,
from the Hon.'E. F. Hoge, of Fulton,
down to old Jim Flue, of Glynn, and
it may be safely calculated that they
will just be under good headway and
“overrun with business” about the
time the constitution prouides they
should adjourn. In newspaper cir
cles “spats” and “make-believo-like”
duels and their attendant sensations
are earnestly hoped for. In case the
man who introduces the “dog law” is
dried up by a motion to refer liis res
olution to the committee on the luna
tic asylum, and pistols and coffee are
ordered for two, wo want it distinctly
understood that we are on the anti
dog man’s side.
Rev. J. P. Duncan lately made a
visit to Hon. A. 11. Stephens, who has
been very ill for several weeks past,
and when leaving, Mr. Stephens said:
“Good-bye, Mr. Duncan; I have but
one word to say as I linger upon the
brink of the grave. You go to the
watch-meeting at Dr. Harrison's
church, in Atlanta, to-niglit. Say to
it for me to pray to God that our
country may have national peace, na
tional fraternity, national prosperity
and national happiness. He will di
rect our statesmen, in their labors, to
the end that this Government may be
brought to the design of its fathers !
I have only one prayer 1 wish offered
for myself, and it. is: ‘The will of the
Lord to done!’ ”

Quitman Academy-
Exercises in tins institution of I
learning were last Monday,
under an entirely new towage incut. |
Mr. S. A\ h i to, who tan :"t.v f 1 1 e*
“Quitman High School"last year, has.
been elected to take the place of Mr.
Forrester as principal of the Academy,
and has secured the services of Mr.
Ilorner WrigliftoJ M .con, ns assist
ant, and Mi V nma MeElveen as
instructress in music and French,
making the most efneient corpse of
teachers, perhaps, that we have ever
liad. The school opened With some
•
nfty-odd Bcholars, and nearly as
many more are confidently expected.
Our community seems to be less di
vided on the school question just at
this time than it has been for several
veavs past, and we earnestly hope that
all will unite now in bail ling up the
Academy, and under its present man
agement it can be made a creditable
I institution to the town.
An Adventurous iline.
We met yesterday, says the Lyucli
i burg Akira, a young gentleman liaui
! cd Rudolph Scharf, who has assured
;ly had a wonderouslv adventurous
life for a few weeks past, lie was
| formerly a resident of this city, where
he lias many friends, and worked with
1 Mr. William J. Folkes. Some years
i ago he left here, and about six months
; ago he went to Germany, where his
mother, who has since died, was very
sick. Desiring to return to America,
he took passage on the ill-fated
I Di-ut. bland, ; 111 .1 v. A - nli 1,..,.;.. ...i
her misfortunes, having remained
! twenty-four hours in tbo rigging
without food or drink. He afterwards
i enrolled himself as a passenger on the
Mosel, of dynamite memory. At the
;imi: of the explosion lie was fortu
nately on shore, some distance from
the steamer as well as the infernal
compound, and represents the shock
as perfectly terrific. He was fortu
nate enough to escape serious injury,
having only lost part of one finger on
the left hand, but was shocked to un
consciousness for some half hour.
He lias finally succeeded in reaching
this country in safety, and will doubt
less bo slow in trusting himself to the
tender mercies of the Atlantic again,
after his recent experience, which
has certainly been an exciting and
fearful one.
Tiie Marriage or te person Davis’
Daughter.— The Memphis Appeal fur
nishes the following particulars of the
marriage in that city, on New Year's
morning, of Margaret H. Davis,
daughter of Air. Jefferson Davis, to
Air. J. A. Hayes, cashier of the State
National Bank of that city:
“Before the hour of half-past nine
St. Lazarus Chinch was filled to
overflowing, and there wrs not stand
ing room scarcely in the small inclos
ure around the edifice. The ceremo
ny was performed by Rev. Dr. George
White, of Calvary, assisted Rev
Ohnrchbill East in, of St. Lazarus
Church. There were many handsome
wedding presents, some of them from
abroad. After tlie ceremony tbo bri
dal party returned to the residence of
the bride’s father, where they remain
ed a short, time, the bride and groom
I received the congratulations of their
i relatives and friends, after which they*!
left for St. Louis.”
The New York Jhrald advises the
I Democrats to take Mr. Blaine at his
word and pass his amendment to the
Constitution. It says: “It is always
wise in war to do the very thing which \
your opponents dread. The one
thing that would annoy the Repub
licans beyond measure would be tlie
adoption of this amendment by the
Democrats. If they do not adopt if j
we shall have the cry of ‘no Popery’
ringing through every State in the
Union during the coming campaign.
| Tlie wise plan for the Democracy is to
pass this amendment, and in doing so
) spike the most important gun in the
Republican camp.”
A fellow somewhat “boozy” was
■ seated by the stove in a church, aid
'on becoming somewhat affected by
I the heat and leaking a disturbance,
was shown to the door by the usher,
whe>s turned around, taking a good,
long look at the minister, and said in
a slow, loud, voice: “Such preucli
in’s that’s enough to make a dog
sick.” i

The Central Grant Club apolitical!
organization which favors the re-elec
tion of President Grant, fora third
term, met Thursday evening at the
Ashling House. Col. A. J. H. Du
ganno presided, ami there were four- !
teen members present besides the
chairman. The officers of the Club !
are A. J. H. Dnganlie, President; Ell
wood E. Thorne, Yice President:
Henry (’. Parke, Secretary. The
Managing Committee consists of tlm j
President, Vice President, and Sucre- j
tarv, and the Committee on Business
of George W. Clarke, Lawrence S. )
Benson, Charles J. Cole, James S.
Hbirntoii, and Richard Delamore.
Mr. Dtiganne made a short address,!
explaining that the object of the club j
was to marshal the advocates of the!
re-election of Genera! Grant ns Pres- j
ident, with n view of having numer- j
oils other affiliated clubs organized
throughout the country, each of which j
should send delegates to a National \
Third Term People's Nominating!
Convention to be held at Philadelphia j
on July 1. A suitable platform would
bo adopted bv that convention, and.!
the speaker believed, Grant's re-e'ee- :
Mqn would bo secured. At present, !
in tNvngrcss, only half a dozen votes
would Wugd in the way of a Demo
cratic administration in case (1- ncral 1
(I rant should fie taken out of the way.
"I have had HonfWi-y men who were
against us in the war say i ( > lm . ” con
tinued Mr. Dugannc, “that il.-v.iv man
other than Grant should be elected
I the next President there would la
j t,rouble in the South within six
months, and I b.-liovo it.” Air. Du
gaune also said that this club had no
interest in the question whether n
1 man desiring to unite with it favored
! Grant on account of bis views of se
; cular education, or as a bnllionist, or
an inflationist, or for any other rea
son, but its only care was to ask
1 whether he was a Grant man.
j A motion was carrit .1 instructing
the secretary to collect the names of
i as many persons who favor file third
j term movement, as possible, and re
port. them at the next meeting. An
! address “to the friends of secure po\-
j eminent” was presented in the form
of printed slips, which are to be seat
i fereil throughout the country. In
j this address it is stated that the re
nomination of General Grant is ad
vocated because of the success of his
j administration heretofore, and be
cause “to disturb, with no purpose
but. change, the conditions which now
I make the American government trusf
jed and courted by all governments,
as it never was before, would be to
jeopard the growth of our influence
in foreign lands, and disrupt our do
mestic affairs, now approaching sta
bility under Grant’s Kig.n-i.ms gnid
-.. ..v.J.** Tiie ,i,i.lie ~, also Mates:'“We
have no fear of a third term proving
hazardous : s a precedent. * * *
.Senators of the United States, trusted
by their Shiites, have served five terms
of ilu’ir Kpi-oflicOj,- anil Represent ta
il CtihguA arf? chosen, term af
ter term, Glaring life. What valid
reason, then, can bo given that an
elector should be deprived of his right
i to vote for President a third time in
the interest of good government?”
i Other reasons are given why a third
term is not to be considered perilous
jor unreasonable. Piesident Grant's
abilities, experience and popularity
: are extolled, and the address closes
by requesting citizens of all the States
j and of all local political views to for. i
i Grant clubs and comuonnicale with
the Central Grant Club hero.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman.
: Georgia j);>gs aud Spring Lambs.
Georgia while inviting immigration
! to her fertile fields, fails to give prom
inence to what would seem to be one
of her greatest inducemets. Telia
I discontented British yeoman, hesita
ting in Ins choice between Canada
and tlie states, that Georgia was so
prolific in animal wealth that her very
j dogs were fed on spring lambs and
mu-ton chops, who can doubt on
which side of Cape Cod he would iu
j vest, his agricultural experience.
And yet it is actually the fact; for
j according to an authorized official re
port of a state officer (an extract from
Which we gave in onr last number), I
the ninety-nine thousand untaxeil
dogs of (leorgia devour annually close
on to thirty thousand sheep, of an aver
age value of three dollars apiece.
The drawback to this picture of pros
| perily is that neither the dogs nor
their owners pay for their feast of
; mutton. It is neither more nor less
! than a most oppressive tax on the in
dustry of the agriculturists whose
1 flocks would seem to be at the mercy
of every howling cur that- wants a
meal.
The State report further shows that
while wool growing is one of the most
| profitable iml nr, tries, tlie decrease of
j sheep during the last ten years equals
. a present net loss of above a million
in number. It is hard to believe that
the dogs are tho only parties at fault
in this matter. There must be a screw
loose with the farmers themselves.
The ferocity of tho State dog, whether
wild or owned, can certainly not ‘sur
pass that of the heroes of wolves
which infest the frontier lands of
France and Spain, on tlie slopes of
the Pyrenees; and yet the farmers’
losses there are insignificant compar
ed to that of the Georgia farmers.
The plan adopted by the Basque
peasants is simple enough. They
breed a line species of sheep dog,
which are efficient and faithlul guar
dians, and they fold their flocks every
night, and not in expensive picket
lances but with low and easily moved
"joker hurdles. This method seems
sitiple and inexpensive ami worthy
thfcadoption of Georgia farmers, it!
is <'i tainly less costly lhan lei ting the j
.slice- go lo the dogs “whether or no.

Washington, January B.— The Sta
ticien of the Department of Agricul
ture has completed tho compilation of
the official leutrasfur the past mouth,
aud finds it correct. Tlie general ns- j
usmplion of the lower yield of lint in \
proportion to seed cotton is only two
per cent. The States of' Arkansas and
Texas repovt a larger proportion Ilian
in 11 71. The Atlantic States, which
have previously made low cationites
of the aggregate production, all re
turn a smaller yield of lint to seed, in ;
comparison with the previous crops,
and none of them over III) pounds to ;
each hundred pounds of seed. Tin
average decrease in nil tho States is 4]
per cent. This reduction is attributed
in most cases to the excessive moisture
and imperfect development of tin
boll, and in some to the effects of early
draught in preventing full maturity of j
tlie cotton grown in fields heavily!
dressed with commercial fertilizers l.
found to have a greater proportionate j
development of seed than of lint. The !
average quality of the fibre is some-■
Ahatlower th in last year. Arkansas
and Texas furnish only exceptions to
this statement, though tho average
depreciation is slight in Louisiana and
Alabama. It is greatest in Missi- sip- !
pi and the Atlantic States. The pro-
potion of crops gather) .1 by 1 Jeceinbcr .

j aud Tennessee, 7S. In analysing the j
; monthly cotton receipts of the season, ]
j *.ho average condition from June to
October is 931 percent, against 93 in j
j the same period of 1874. This would

A Dh-orc? with a Terrible Cri- j
gin.
A Nu.v York letter to the Baltimore j
.Yes says: There is in this city,
however, one most amusing low eoin-
I median who has a reason for never
smiling. In his youth he was the j
I father of a little girl of a refractory
j obs inate disposition. One day. to
pun sli her for something, he locked
her in the bedroom and with bis wife
: went down stairs to dinner. Soon
! the child began to scream in a terriU
ble manner, which the parents consul"
| eved was nothing but temper; but as
j tlie shrieks continued the wife became !
! alarmed and de-sirod to go to boa*. 1
; lie, to .never, furuncle her doing so, as
he said the child must be taught obe
: dieuce, and that she should not gain |
her end by screaming. They went on
; with their dinner, the fearful shrieks j
continued for a while and then ceasing, i
As they were about leaving the table, I
] smoko began to puss through the j
home. Tie'll- wan {tie w*ueA'licro.
I Rushing to release the poor li.th
gi: 1, they found her dead. Her cloths ;
i iiml evidently caught fire from the
grate, and while they wore chatting,
the child was living. Tho commedi-1
| an's wife took a horror and hatred of j
i her husband after this, as she believ- j
! ed that if lie had allowed her to go to 1
the poor infant she might have saved
her life. They were devoted; no won
der that man never smiles off the
| stage.
A Milwaukee jury has said that a
I young gild of that city served her
father just right by stubbing him to
death. Tlie man was a domestic cow
ard and tyrant. He got drunk and
j commenced’..busing'hisdaughter, who
: was a grown woman. He was armed
with a knife, and prepared to carve
his victim for sacrifice. He threaten
ed to kill her, but she had no inten
tion of dying without making a strug
; glo for life. She would not fall down
at his feet to be beaten and kicked
and trampled upon like a dutiful
daughter. II- r obstinacy infuriated
the family tyrant. With a brandish
ing knife he drives her into a corner.
I On the w ay she seized a pair of shears
and plunges the.point into him. It
sinkes the right spot. He falls and
she rushes from the house terror
stricken and alarms the neighborhood.
She is arrested and tried for murder.
The jury says she is not guilty, and
reiterates the principle that wives
and children have rights that hus
bands and fathers ought to respect, i
One of these is the right to live.
Ax AsTiioLosnit.—ln Talbot county,
Maryland, recently a man named Jef
ferson was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for four years, on conviction of
a robbery committed ten years ago
upon a man named Day". The St.
Michael’s Comet says of Day that he
claimed by his prophetic genius, with
tin; use of his astronomical instru
ments, to bo abl to foretell coming
events, aud an old acquaintance,
whose veracity is unquestioned, states
that Day said when Lincoln was first,
elected President, that he would be
elected the second time and then be
assassinated. He foretold the con
t ist between the Monitor and Merri- i
mac, and drew plans of them long be
fore they were thought of or the'eou
fliet occurred.
A Providences coroner’s jury, in a case
wlirio a drunken father in utoinpting
to kick his wife killed his child
in her arms, returned a verdict that
the person who sold the liquor to the
father was guilty of the murder of the
baby. A singular verdict, but in a j
measure a just one. J’erhiips if every
Slate had a law holding the liquor
seller responsible for the acts of those
who get drunk on their liquor, there
would be less drunkenness and less
suffering and crime.
