pleasure. Colonel Itntlierforil stands
in the front rank of his profession in

future:
COLONEL. JOHN c. RUTHERFORD.
This gentleman, who is one of the
brightest and most prominent mem
bers of the legal profession in Georgia,
is about thirty-three years of ago, of
dignified and commanding appear
ance, with a personal' calculated to
impress and at the same tint” to
command admiration, is a s n of
l*rofessor Rutherford, of Athens,
graduated nt the University of Geor
gia with honor, afterward at tire
Lumpkin law school about the age of
eighteen. In the year 1861, during
the dark and terrible struggle by the
.South for her independence, he threw
aside his bright prospect in the pro
fession which he had taken up and
entered the service of the “Lost
Cause ” as Adjutant of Cobb’s Geor
gia Legion, was promoted to Adju
tant General on Cobh’s ptaff, was
afterward appointed Adjutant and
Inspector General of the Department
of Florida, remained in Florida a
short time, and was Adjutant and
Inspector General under General
Gardner commanding fortifications
around Richmond, Virginia. He

Col. Rutherford is a nephew of
Georgia’s gifted son, General-Howell
Cobh, and one on u hose shoulders

early manhood the future holds for
him a brilliant prospect, and in tbe
wide realm of the State there heats
no heart antagonistic to Lis advance
ment, for all who knew him love him
for his mental power, as well as for
his genial and winning manners,
Col. Rutherford is engaged in the
most important cases in our court,
and our people are turning their eyes
to him in that full confidence which
is the surest evidence of the esteem
in which they hold him.

A New Cotton Picker
A cattail picker which promises to
work a revolution in the harvesting
of cotton, and it is said it will do the
work of one hundred laborers in the
field, has just been invented and pat
ented by a North Carolina man. The
machine is about the size and weight
of a two-horse wagon, and is upon
three wheels, the centre one running
between two rows and the other two
outside of them. Tlie two driving
wheels, from which is worked the ma
chinery, is high enough to carry
everything above tho cotton. The
front wheels is about half the height,
and works on a pivot joint, to which
are attached the horses, which walk
between tlie rows. The picking ma
chine consists of two hundred linger
shaped cards on India rubber, work
ing up and down through tlie stalks as
the machine advances.
These catJs will not take hold of
anything but the lint of the open cot
ton, and takes that whether it is on the
ground or on the top of the stalk.
Leaves, twigs aud hulls will not stick
to them, but the cotton touched in
ever so small a degree instantly ad
heres, and will not let go until brushed
off the top by the brusher, whence it
is taken on an apron of bands aud
deposited in a receptacle in the rear iu
conditions to the Congress. The
preliminary Commission, which is to
assemble at Berlin, is only to settle
llie formula of invitations.”
Constantinople, March 20.—It is
expected that Osman Pasha will soon
be released by the Russians and
return here. It is doubtful now
whether the Grand Duke Nichols will
visit Constantinople at all.
A PROPOSED COMPROMISE.
Paris, March 20.—It is stated that
Russia now propose to read the whole
treaty to the congress, leaving it the
right to select the articles for discus
sions. It is believed that England
will refuse this compromise and Rus
sia will eventually yield.
London, March 20.—In the House
of Commons this afternoon,- Siv Staf
ford Northcote, Chancellor -of the
Exchequer, stated that the February
dividend on the Turkish guarantee
loan was paid by England. The
amount was £77,448. A portion of
the dividend should come from the
Egyptian tribute, but this has not
been paid. The Khedive bad prom
ised to forward part of it immediately.
England had taken steps to obtain
half the £77,448 from France, which
was the joint guarantor.
THE TIMES’ LEADER.
The leading editorial in the Times, I
after considering the terrible conse-
I
qucnces that would follow a great I
war, and the tremendous responsi- i
bilitv that bring it on, concludes as
follows: “Nevertheless, England
must adhere to the demand that the
entire treaty of San Stesano be sub
mitted to tbe congress. The alterna
tive plan suggested by Russia would
raise the previous question in every
clause of the treaty except those
which Russia of her own accord
brought before the congress. But a
far more important issue than the
interest of any Power is at stake.
W e take our stand upon the existing
treaties. The one hope of statement
for the future peace of the world
must be founded on the development
of a system ot public law and upon
the maintenance and increase of the j
authority of treaties. It tlie public j
law of Europe be valid until formally
rrpealed, any new arrangement bes
tween Russia and Tut key fails, de
ipso lacto, by its very nature, within
the scope of tbe treaties of 1856 and
1871. It is not in tbe power of
Russia and is not even* within the
competence of the congress to decide
whether or not certain clauses of the
new treaty falls within the recogni
zance of tlie signatories of the old
treaty. It is bound to take the new
instrument into consideration as a
who'e.”

During the present year The Free Press

those in position to know the needs of their
State and call suggest beneficial changes. It
further desires to bear from p auters, fruit

The AtlantajConstitution.
Under its new managemen , The Atlanta
Constitution lias won for itsc-lt the title of tlie
leadiug journal of the south. Its enterprise,
during the recent election excitement, in send
ing correspondents to different portions of the
country, and its series of special telegrams from
Washington while the electoral commission was
engaged in consumating the fraud that placed
radicalism once more in power in onr national
councils, are evidences conspicuous enough to
prove that no expense will be spared to make
The Constitution not only a leader in tlie dis
cussion of matters of public concern, but a
lender in the dissemination of the latest and
most reliable news. i'he' - « is no better time
than now to subscribe
.1 Fresh and I igornus Yensva;* ,.
Albeit, there lias been nq'asi settlement of
one of the most difficult and dangerous pro
blem? of modcru federal politics, the discussions
spring therefrom and the results likely to ensue
have lost nothing of their ebsorbing interest.
I11 addition to this, tbe people of Georgia are.
now called upou to settle
The Convention question,
and in tbe discussion of this important subject
(in which The Constitution will take a leading
part) every Georgian is interested. If a conven
tion is called its proceedings will find tlicir
earliest and fullest embodiment in the columns
ol' The Constitution, and this fact alone will
make the paper indispensable to ever?-citizen of
the state. To bo brief.
Hie Atlanta Dally Constitution
will endeavor, by all the means that the pro
gress of modern journalism has made possible
and necessary to hold its place os n leader of
southern opinion and os a purveyor of tbe latest,
news. Its editorials will be thoughtful, timely
and vigorous—calm and argumentative in their
methods and thoroughly southern and demo
cratic in their sentiments. Its news will be
fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will
be nllertnnd enterprising, and no expense will
be spared to make it the medium 01 the latest
and most important intelligence.
Die Weekly Constitution-
Besides embodying everything of inter;st in
the daily, Tiis Weekly Constitution will con
tain a Department of Agriculture, which will be
iu charge of Mr. Malcolm Johnson, the wcll-
knewn Secretary of Georgia State Agricultural
Society. This department will be made a spe
cialty, and will be thorough and complete. The
farmer will find in it not only all the current in
formation on the subject of agriculture, but
timely suggestions and well-digested advice.
Subscriptions should lie sent in at once.
