THE UNIVERSITY" APtfRORlA- TION BILL, It is gratifying to every friend of the University and of the higher education agitation throughout the State of Geor gia to know that the appropriation Pill now before the Legislature is gaining p' c nfti>ufl favor day by day. and that but little jVENl >u ' doubt is being entertained about its passage. The members of the Legislature are showing up nobly in their honest in- deavors to promote the State’s best en- terest by elevating its University, and by the passage of this bill of appropri ations the present assembly will win golden opinions from their constituents all over the State. That the University needs the ap- propi i ition badly is not doubted, and that it is the State’s duty to sustain the college is more widely conceded now than ever before since the entire man agement of the University has been placed in the bands of the Governor exclusively in the appointment of trus tees. The University has been placed in the 1 natural inquiry char ge of the State where it has proper- 1 ly belonged all the while, and since this has been done, nothing is left the State but to fulfill its long deterred du ty to the college. If this be done the State University will continue to re flect great credit on the old State, but so soon as the State fails In this, her acknowledged duty, the institution wil »cease to honor the name of the Empire r 1 State of the South.

'nd their recouamenda- and confidently 1 speedily It seems that an adjustment of the tare question upon jute and cotton bag- ging isnot consummated as satisfactorily throughout the Gulf States as was an ticipated by the convention in New Or leans. Upon a reeent notification of the resolution passed by the New Orleans convention that all cotton shou’d be sold henceforth by net weight, allow ing twenty-four pounds off for jute bagging and sixteen pounds for cotton bagging,the Galveston cotton exchange sent back this letter in response: Galveston Cotton Exchange, Gal veston, Tex., Sept. 19.—II. G. Hester, Esq., Secretary* New Orleaus—Dear Sir: In reply to your favor of 16th instant, covering official documents bearing upon the question of tare al lowance to be made on cotton on and after Octouer 1, I am instructed by our board to say that this exchange will not recommend any change in the mode and manner of selling cotton during the present season differing from that at the present existing, for the reason that we believe that cotton bagging is still an experiment, and until a thor ough test of it is made we deem it mi wise to make a radical change. Should the present season demon strate the fact that cotton bagging is practicable as well as economical, a system of tare might be agreed upon, to become universal for the next crop. Our opinion is that if the system of tare is adopted it will result to no advan tage to the planter. Yours respectfully, Julius Ruge., President Galveston Cotton Ex change. We think the Galveston Exchange is deoidedly wrong in considering cotton bagging a doubtful experiment, for it has been found fully qualified by almost every exchange to take tlie place of jute satisfactorily. But whether the system of tare will re sult to the advantage of the planter, we A are not ready to assert. It will be tested the present season. The Memphis Exchange has followed suit with the Galveston cotton men and is of the opinion that the tare will be of noproflt whatever to the farmrs _ lni l*ortant that a full and “'nation and investigation V d‘e claims of the tlle Stu te be made, and a ,ij . atcor <lingly.

RUSSELL WILL TEST HIS SiSSENGTaX A*gentleman infonns hs that Solic itor General Russell stated to him that he was i»idificrent *to opposition to the of the hill of his friend (Mr. Tuck,) u a a - payers tf Clarke county responsible for all his insolvent eoste, and that he (Kus- .-ell) bad sufficient strength with the members of the Legislature to get this sebetne through, in spite of any pro test from our people. - This may be the case; but we must say it has come to a nice pass when a people have forced upon them by law a most dangerous, expensive and objec tionable measure—to which ninety-uine one hundredth of the tax-payers in the county are opposed—because the repre sentative of this county has used the office with which they honored him, to build up a personal popularity. The Banxek does not claim to have the slightest influence with our law-makers, and can only rely on ap pealing to,their sense of justice, and ask for protection against a great wrong Our paper is but the mouth-piece of an indignant and protesting people, who feel that a scheme is concocted to un necessarily and unjustly add to to the heavy load that they now bear, that the arge fee^already received by one offi cer may be swelled. If Mr. Russell ba strength enough in the Legislature to carry his point, then the tax-ridden people of Clarke county have hut to bow their necks to this yoke, and rely upon future exevtions for relief. But one thing every man who has a hand in fastening this fresh barthen upon their backs can confidently rely on—the op pressed and wrong people will hold him to strict account. They already pay every dollar’s tax that their condition warrants, and will not meekly submit to have another eent added unless it is necessary. We have never known our people so aroused and indignant as they now are over this attempt to make them respon sible for Mr. Russell’s entire insolvent costs. Aiuoag those loudest in their protests are the men who worked the, hardest for Mr. Tuck when his success meant the election of Mr. liussell as so licitor-general. When our people heard of this seheme to increase their taxation, old differences were forgotten, and they have united in denouncing and opposing the attempt to add to their burthen. But we hope Mr. Russell’s boast that his personal strength among members of the Legislature will induce that hon orable body to close their ears to the ap peals of a wronged and oppressed peo ple, and vote to increase taxation in dt> fiance of their protests, and that the pe cuniary interest, of one man may be subserved, is an idle one. Surely the time has not arrived in Georgia when the accomplishment of the designs of one man are paramount to the wishes and protests of the united tax-payers of an intelligent and populous county Mr. Tuck knew when he introduced his bill making Clarke county respon sible for ali of the insolvent costs of his friend Mr. Russell that he did so in face of the fact that even those who were his most ardent supporters told him that it would be a great wrong ami an outrage, and that it was antagonistic to the wishes and interests of his constitu ents. Yet he persisted in having this bill read, and that, too, without a w ord of dissent from his lips. We can only appeal to the reason and justice of our law-makers for protec tion. Why is it that Mr. Russell only demands that this burthen be placed upon the tax-payers of Clark® coun ty, while Walton and Oconee that also have county courts are exempt ed ? Is this not a clear case of partial ity? The reason is plain. Solicitor- General Russell vrell knows that the representatives from these counties would never permit him to fasten this burthen upon the backs of these peo ple, and he does not attempt it. This is the milk in the eocoanut. Even if Mr. Russell succeeds in se curing the passage of his bill over the protest of his people it will be unconsti tutional, and our vigilant Ordinary will be entirely justified in refusing to pay to Mr. Russell his demands. Here is the constitution and the de cision of the Gapreme Court on the subject, to which we direct the attention of the legislature: The Constitution of Georgia, Article 1, Section IV, Paragraph 1, is as fol lows: “Laws of a'general nature shall have uniform oprration throughout the State and no special late shall be enacted in any case for which provision has been made by an existing general Jaw,” Sections 1646, 1647, 1649, and 1650, provide that Solicitors General of the State shall receive a salary of $250 and a specified fee for every service render ed in the Superior or Supreme court It will thus he seen that the compensa tion of Solicitors is a subject “for which provision has been made by an existing general law,” and therefore under the Constitution, no special law can be enacted in such case.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. .iCOT'itVTS':.<r,'.V HTMv. — ~-TZ.~ The agitation oyer the coming World’s Fair increases each day, and the rivalry between the Eastern and Western cities of the country for the securing of the fair is becoming warmed up considera bly. The newspapers are fraught with columns of news about the great show, and if they may be taken as represen tatives of the people’s opinions, every body is highly in favor of the Fair. Perhaps it is nothing hot natural that a nation as young and yet, so great as is ours, should desire to display its greatness to the word. There can be no doubt but that our national pride is justly aroused over the event, and we see no reason why America should not have a Worlds Fair at this period of its growth and prosperity. The matter has been placed before cogress and in the meantime the cities are arranging for the fair in every part'c ular and detail. The cities of St. Louis and Chicago have raised millions of guarantee money, and New York has already gone ahead with the work of selecting the site and has, after thor ough search and much deliberation, de cided to have it in Centrrl Park. The site will be decided by congress, however, in due time and although sev eral metropolitan cities are confident of securing it, no one knows where it will l.e held. Meantime it is all well and good that these cities should be arranging for it because it will greatly facilitate mat ters when the site has been determined by congress.

Oli K.M.. tMrn *fa Preeiou« Treasure. There is no treasure so precious as a life long friendship. It is more precious than diamond, of more value than gold or silver. Yet, how few such friends there are. Skiff, the jeweler’s, friends friends are numerous good customers and use his diamond spectacles. R Absolutely Pure. Our people are already overbur- thened with taxes, but it seems that an effort is being made to add to the load. We see that iu spite of the protests of our citizens, their representative in the Legislature, Hon. H. C. Tuck, has in troduced his bill to make Clarke county responsible for the costs of his friend, Solicitor*General R. B. Russell, and his successors in office. Mr. Tuck, during the campaign, claimed to have sprung from the people, and to be their friend—and here we see him introducing a bill to add to tl*e burthen of every tax-payer iu the coun ty .that one officer may swell his fees.He may succeed in getting this measure through the House of Representatives, but there is one thing certain—the op- pi essed masses will hold to a strict ac count the man who thus assists in add ing to their burthen at a time when they are using every effort,and exercis ing the most rigid economy, to lift from tlieir shoulders the load that has for so many long years dragged them to the earth. The office of Solicitor-General will pay $3,000 a year if properly managed, and here we see a deliberate effort made to increase this sum at the expense of the toiling masses. If this be the man ner in which Mr. Tuck intends to guard the interests oi his former “farmer friends,” we can but exclaim: God save them from their friend! Mr. Russell knew what this office paid when he made such a desperate ef fort to secure it. Had he and Mr. Tuck announced to Dispeople that one of their first official acts would be to have passed a law increasing the already large fees of the Solicitor-General at the cost of the sweat of the toiling tax-payers, we predict that the result of the election would have lea.i very different. Peo ple do not meekly bow their necks to such unnecessary and outrageous bur thens. Very few men in Clarke county make $3,000 annually witn only about six months work, and Mr. Russell should be content with the fees already fixed by law, or have declined to con test for the office. He has no right to use his influence with the man chosen to represent the people of Clarke coun ty, that his large salary may be still further increased. We would ask our Solicitor-General why is it that he has not introduced similar bills in Walton, Oconee and other counties in his circuit where there are county courts? Is there any jus tice in singling out the people of Clarke county to bear this great burthen, and permit the others to remain untaxed ? This certainly looks as if he considered Mr. Tuck a Russell while the members Spurgeon’s gout bas assumed such a phase that his physicians say he must make a prolonged stay at Menton if he wants lasting relief, ELMON ELIXIR.

Atlanta, Ga., September 26.—The question which is now agitating the Legislature is the date of adjournment. Many think that December the first will roll around before that body ad journs. A resolution has been intro duced, cutting off the introduction of all new matters after this date. ( Mr. Tuck, of Clarke has introduced the bill to amend the act providing com pensation for the solicitor-general of the Western circuit. Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, introduced a bill to amend the law in Pefreuce to the imprisonment of witnesses. The bill introduced by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, to appropriate to the ag ricultural interists of the State all mon eys arrizing from the inspection of fer tilizers, passed. The Olive bill, which was the special order for yesterday iu the House, was postponed until two hundred copies of the bill and substitutes could be printed. It will come up for final dis position in a few days. The bill of Mr. Sims, of Lincoln, to establish a board of health for Georgia, was re-committed yesterday to tlie committee on hygiene and sanitation. Some sectional “spirit was stired up by the remark of Mr. Fricks, of Frankliu, that “he didn’t believe in North Geor gia protecting South Georgia from sickness.” The bill has a great many friends in the House.

Two Investors in The Louisiana State. Lottery $30,000 Richer Than they. Were. The lucky holders m this city of the two one-twentieth tickets which hit The Louisiana State Lottery at the August drawing for $15,000 each have received their money, and are $30,000 better off than they were two weeks ago. Deputy Jailer Joe Kinchley held one-twentieth of the lucky ticket,No. 87,835, and Mrs, Florence M. Roche, who is now at Clarke’s Mills on the Savannah,Florida and Western railway, held the other oue-twentieth. This is not the first time that fractions of the capital prize have been drawn in pairs it Savannah. Three J ears ago $30,000 were drawn at one rawing on two fractional tickets; In the last few years close to $100,000 have been drawn in Savannah through The Louisiana State Lottery in large prizes, to say nothing about the smaller prizes which have been drawn. Mr.Kinchley’s ticket was collected through the Merch ant’s National Bank, and Mrs Roche re ceived her money through the Southern Express Company. This is the second lottery!prize that Jailer Kinchley has drawn this year. About six months ago he drew $5,000.—Savannah (Ga.) News, To Assist Nature In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is all that any medicine can do. In pul monary affections, such as Colds, Bron chitis, and Consumption, the mucous membrane first becomes inflamed, then accumulations form in the air-cells of the lungs, followed by tubercles, and, finally, destruction of the tissue. It is plain, therefore, that, until the hacking cough is relieved, tlie bronchial tubes can have no opportunity to lieal. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Soothes and Heals the inflamed membrane, arrests the wasting process, and leaves no injurious results. This is why it is more highly estemeed thau any other pulmonary specific. L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt., writes: “ Four years ago I took a se vere cold, which was followed by a terrible cough. I was very sick, and confined to my bed about four months. My physician finally said I was in con sumption, and that lie could not help me. One of my neighbors advised mo to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and before I had taken half a bottle was able to go out. By tlie time I had finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.” t Alonzo P.

I could seldom lie down, had frequent choking spells, and was often com pelled to seek the open air for relief. I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which helped me..
