Atlanta, Aug. 12.—The first thing sprung ii the House this morning was the peren nial resolution of Mr. Snelson, of Meriwether. It came up in a spick and span new dress, however, anti the author made a warm de nse of his resolution, which is as follows: ‘•That the tax-pajers of each comity o( the state arc hereby requested to demand of their representatives to show cause why they did not vote for the Snelson resolution dricting the pay of members to the time they are in session.” Mr. Snelson sharply attacked the Atlanta Constitution for misrepresenting him and diculing his measures. Snelson’s efforts appear, at this dis tance, to he oil the line of reform. The people expect their representa tives to stay in their seats. If they leave them they ought not to draw pay for the time they arc absent. Poking fun at Snelson, by the peo ple of Atlanta, is easily explained: they do not care if the legislature were to remain in perpetual session; it is money in their pockets. The press of the State would he doing the people a better service by sustaining Mr. Snelson in his efforts to correct the evil, than by holding him up to ridicule. . “Oh, Dat Watermillion!” Iu view of the immense possibilities of the melon crop of the south, Colo ncl William Duncan, of South Caro lina, suggested that the surplus he made into syrup. This idea was utilized during the war on more than one plantation in vords, at the Kimball, on Monday evening. The moon is again blurred vith blood. The Olive branch is vithered. Hon. A. T. McIntyre vitnessed the spat, so says the Cou- titution. From all parts of the United States :omc accounts of experiments by thysicians, with the new elixir, finny wonderful cures arc reported. IVhether these cures are imaginary, ir not, remains to he seen. If halt >c true, then the discovery is, indeed, i wonderful stride ahead in medical eience. thetarTon Totton. Larry Gantt and Mr. Olive, of Hive hill fame, had a short war of the south, and in I’utnam couuty, nt least, watermelon syrttpjwas no rar ity. Properly made it is clearer than honey and as sweet, and while the primitive experiments to reduce it to sugar were failures, there can he no doubt hut that the surplus crop cau he made to take the place of the “honey sweetening” of commerce to a great extent. It nuy be, too, that experiments carried on in a more scientific way will result in the gran ulation necessary to make sugar. But that is not absolutely necessary. It is certain that an excellent quality of syrup can he made, and it is to this fact that the farmers should turn their attention. The melon can he cultivated at less expense than cither sugar-can or the sugar beet, and if the syrup is properly handled it will take the place of cane syrup and mo lasses as au article of food. Colonel Duncan estimates that the profits of one county of South Caro lina (Barnwell, would be $200,000 if the melons were made into syrup, which is more thau the crop would bring if it were sold as fruit. In additiou the refuse remaining after the crushing process makes excellent stock feed, and, according the Colo nel Duncan, this will repay the cost of making the syrup. Wo do not vouch for the figure.., but we present them cheerfully, with the remark that the south is the great est section of a great and growing country.—Constitution. dss to Farmers Prevented by Yester day’s Agreement.

The result will he reported to-morrow morning. CincAco, Iu.., Aug. Iff.—A Fort Wayne special says : “Yesterday Dr. William II.

The patient was so seriously affected with rheumatism that he was unable to vnlk without the aid of crutches. In less than an hour, through the stimulating effects of the treatment, Kenny threw away his crutches and walked away. Dr. Myers had had no faith whatever in the panacea, but in answer to a ques tion he remarked : “I can only say that the stimulating effect is some thing marvelous. The man’s pulse rose to lff-S and lie is walking without crutches. 'I don't understand it.” Atanta, Ga., Aug. Iff.—The Olive hill got a quietus in the House railroad committee this afternoon. This much talked of measure lias been under committee consideration since last December, and no kind of amendment or substitute lias sufficed to make it acceptable. The hill and the substi tute were before the full committee this afternoon, and after some discuss ion were tabled by a vote ot 10 to 9. It is undcrsjpod that on a straight vote the hill would have been killed by a much larger majority. The members of the committee gave notice that a new hill would he prepared and he submitted before any report is made to the House. This hill will probably he prepared by Mr. Berner.
