The almost unprecedented drought
with its withering eiiets upon vege
tation, is still upon to, and iron’, the
latest reports from the weather bu

only has the cotton suffered materi
ally from the drought, but the tail
Crops; such as potatoes, peas, turnips
and truck patches are ruined, which
works a hardship upon the fanners
in close proximity to Atlanta, for up
on such crops they depend largely
for their yearly income. In view
of those facts, and the extreme 'aw
prices of farm piv duets, u occurs to
us that the legislature which is about
to convene, should cast about art!
use their law-making power to snj-p'y
the defect us far ns possible, in the
direction of retrenchment in govern
ment expenses. We prepose tn this
article to point out a few spots where
the burden of the (nit-payers might
be greatly relieved without any vin
ous disadvantage.-, to the people.
For instance, there is all state offi
cials, whose salaries might be great <
reduced; and if the present ineum
bents kick at it there are plenty to
be found equally competent to !i!i
the positions. There is tile agricul
tural department which is a useless j
expense to the state, and should be
abolished: It only serves to furnish j
a good position for some broken -luv. n
politician who cant make a living on
his farm. Then we have our state
militia, which costs the state a large
sum every year to keep it up, without
any profit to the people; these com
panics are made up in the towns ami
cities, and the soldier boy must be
sent off every year fora summer out
ing, to some celebrated camp of in
struction, the better to prepare them
for active service in the field, when
pt fact, it amounts to nothing more
or less than a big frolic where, the
boys can show off their fine uniforms
and glided trappings. Tt is a burn
ing shame that the people should la
taxed to keep up such institutions in
times of profound peace the world
never saw better troops than ioiiowed
the Southern cross for four long and
bloody years, uudef the leadership of
such men as Lee, Johnson and Long
street, no such expensive training
was required tor them to take the
field. We had occasion in a former
article to adude to the appropriation
