(puifmiiii Zh'jwrtcr. THURSDAY. MAY 31. 1877. Tin'll ami Now an lo Mississippi. The Radicals have almost split tilt'll 1 honest throats howling over the rescue by the people of Mississippi of that State from the filthy hands of the rogues who for so many years ruled and robbed her, but. the figures as presented by Mr. Smalley, special correspondent of the New York !i i buiic, will reconcile all honest people, even of that party, to the change. Mr. Smalley says that since the over throw dt the thieves’ government in 187fi taxation has been greatly re duced and brought within reasonable limits. The rate of the State levy is only five mills on the dollar; under the Republican regime it was I t mills, and the valuation, then excessively high, have been greatly reduced. County taxes have, on the average, been cut down fully one-half, and a law has been passed restricting the whole amount of county and State tax that can bo levied without special enactment, to 15 mills on the dollar, a rate which the tax-payers in most Northern Spates would think exceed ingly low. The Legislature spends less than half as much money as it formerly did. Last year the whole cost of running the State government, including the expenses of the charita ble institutions, was only #518,701), and for the current year the estimate is $452,750. After paying the interest on the State debt and retiring certifi cates of indebtedness to the amount of $152,501, the treasurer had a sur plus at the beginning of the present year of $100,041, and had about $300,- 000 of back taxes yet to come in. Retrenchment in county expenses has fully kept pace with that in State outlays, and it is within bounds to say that the people have been relieved of more than one-half of the burden of taxation. —Macon Telegraph. Fixe Words. —Honorable S. S. Cox, who has reached home from his ex tended Southern tour, says, to a New York interviewer, that the people there are calm, hopeful and resolute in their efforts to restore their wasted fortunes. The idea that was being ho widely spread by Republicans that the members of the Democratic party in the South were going over to the Republicans because one man of the party had at this late hour made a showing of justice towad them was ntter uonseuse. The South will stand by the Democratic party, and its members iu Congress will all go into fho Democratic caucus without hesi tation. He maintained that the idea that Hayes’ policy would draw any Strength from the Democratic ranks Was a false one. It would rather Strengthen the party by causing a split in the Republican factions. Kate Ciaxton and Her Husband.— In November last, Kate Ciaxton, the nctress, instituted a suit in New York against her husband, Dore Lyon, for, for divorce, on the ground of adul tery. Mr. Lyon began a counter-suit against his wife, alleging her infidel ity with Chas. Stevenson, of Wallack’s Theater. Ex-Judge Barber was ap pointed referee, and several meetings were had in his office. The suits were discontinued on Friday, and it is said that the actress is to return to her husband. A Judge of the Vermont Supreme Court, whose name is not given ap plied to President Waite, of the Ver mont Valley railroad, for a free pass. Sir. Waite refused, and said that he had no need or desire to buy up the Supreme Court; and he added that nearly every prominent Vermont poli tician, editor, clergyman, judge, and State official seemed to expect to be dead-headed. A New York ,SVn-bnrst: “When Hayes uncovered the Halleck statue yesterday he did it in a quick, jerky manner. The features of the statue dhueed 1 over them through the trees; but the brow was clear with intellect ual honesty, and ! the only fraud con nected with it was at the end of the oord that loosened the covering.” Shunto? Lamar reached liis home at (Mold, Miss., on tho 17th inst., and was enthusiastically received. A large crowd met him at tho depot, and in response to many calls for a speech, he said ho would, at an early day, make public the motives that have actuated his political course and the results therefrom. Twelve States will hold elections Before congress moots, viz: Oregon, in June; North Carolina and Alabama, in August; Arkansas,.California, Ver mont and Maine, in September; West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and lowa, in OfctoKer'. The grave of (hen. John C. Breckin ridge, at Lexington, Ivy., is to have a stone. It, will be of Italian mable, about five feet by two, and tho letter ing will consist merely of tho name, and dates of birth and death. The war maps of Europe don’t get in quite enough mountains. If there was oue more range people would feel certain that there was not enough level ground in Turkey for a croquet party. —Detroit Free Press. Canadian farmers claim that six b'usheismf peas are equal to ten bush els of corn for fattening hogs, and that peas~ yield a larger number of bushels per aero than corn. The Washington Republican says Sherman’s financial policy, if carried out, will givo Ohio to the Democrats in October by 10,000 majority. - • - *** The Montgomery Advertiser says the Prattville Manufacturing compa ny have just shipped four can loads of goods to parties in Turkey. Joxks’s O.vkr- Somebody praised a kind of cake Jones brought down to his office, lie was asked for tho re ceipt for building tho cake, and next day appeared with tho following, which iiis wife dictated, after dinner: "Seven Cups of molasses, three pinches of flour, two heaping quarts of sala ratus, a pint of sugar, two pounds of milk, fruit to suit taste; stir well and boil over a slow fire for three hours, and thou set aside in a cold oven for a week.” Somehow, Jones said, it didn't sound right, but that was tho way his notes had. Terri (Be forest fires are raging to an extent hitherto unparalleled in the States of Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin and Upper Canada. Millions of acres of timber will be burnt over, and either destroyed or badly damaged, and it will require almost a century of time to repair the disaster. Nor is second growth timber ever, as valuable as that of primeval origin. There is danger, also, of continued drought from the absence of dew' and the usual vaporization, by which rain is produced. The enterprising chromo manufac turer has an eye to business. His latest dodge is to touch up those beautiful pictures of last year called “A Winter Scene in Switcherland,” put them upside down in their frames, and then to sell them to libraries and ■ other public institutions as “The | Scenes of Dr. Schliemann’s Excava tions in Ancient Troy,” from photo graphs taken on the spot. A countryman going down town i with a load of pork was met by a young girl, who gcfiteelv made him a very low courtesy. He exclaimed: “What, do you make courtesy to dead nogs ?" “No, sir,” answered she, “to j the live one.” When a man is treating a dashing widow to ice-cream, and sees his wife coming into the restaurant, about all he cau do is to button his coat, hang to his chair, and to trust to Provi dence. Why do not printers succeed to the same extent as brewers ? Because printers work for the head, and brew ers for the stomach; and where 20 men have stomachs only but one has brains. How nice it will bo to jump out of town in dogdavs and go blackberry - ing. Even if a fellow dosn’t find but one berry, and only steps on two rat tlesuakes, it will be a change. Ibbesistiule.—A good natured girl, eyes filled to the brim with lovo and Prussian blue. If you don't want a palpitation of the heart, keep away from ‘sich.’ Kentucky has got an insect which is destroying the blue grass. What will Kentucky be without the blue grass!

TTNDER ITS NEW MANAGEMENT, VJ Tfie Atlanta Constitution Iris won j for itself the title of the leading journal of ! the South. Its enterprise, during the re | cent election excitement, in sending corre i spondents to different- portions of the couu ! try, and its scries of special telegrams fftfftl Washington while the electoral commission , was engaged in consummating t he fraud that placed Radicalism once more in power in | our national councils, are evidences con spicuous enough to prove that no expense i will he spared to make the C<ni>.tituthni not only a leader hi flic discussion of matters of public concern, but a leader in the dissemi nation of the latest and most reliable news. There is no better time than now to sub scribe for a fresh and vigorous newspaper. Albeit, there has been a quasi settlement of one of the most difficult and dangerous problems of modern federal politics, the discussions springing therefrom and the re sults likely to ensue have lost nothing of their absorbing interest. In addition to this, the people of Georgia are now called upon to settle the convention question, and in the dissension of this important subject (in which the Constitution will take a leading part) every Georgian is interested. If a convention is called its proceedings will find their earliest and fullest embodiment in the columns of the Constitution, and this fact alone will make the piper indispensable to every eitizen of the State. To be brief, The Atlanta Daily Constitution will endeavor, by qll the means that the progress of modern journalism has made possible and necessary, to hold its place as a leader of Southern opinion and as a pur - veyor of the latest news. Its editorials will be thoughtful, timely and vigorous ci.lm and argumentative in their methods and thoroughly Southern and Democratic in their sentiments. Its news will be fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will be alert and enterprising, and no expense will l>o spared to make it t lie medium of the latest and most important intelligence. The Weekly Constitution. Besides embodying c vorything of interest : in the daily, the Weekly Constitution will contain a Department of Agriculture, which will he in charge of Mr. Malcolm Johnson, the well-known Secretary of the Georgia State Agricultural Society. This depart ment will be made a specialty, and will be thorough and complete.
