has furnished her owners with five calves

Notwithstanding the guano war and
the frequent reports of meetings of the
farmers throughout the state to resolve
that they will not buy fertilizers at the in

complaining bitterly of the human olfacto

sailed with the fumes ot the fragrant stuff.
Remarks an exchange: “Mr. Hayes
has not lived in vain. An old democrat
has been found in Georgia who is in fa
vor of taking him up as the democratic
candidate for president in 1880. The ven
erable fossil has written to Senator Gor
don to ask his co-operation in the matter.
This, coupled with the resurrection of the
old whig party, should cause Mr. Hayes
to return and take courage.”
Gainesville Southron: “It is now pret
ty certain that Georgia will get quite a
large number of Swiss settlers this spring.
The northwest is full of them and they
are among the most industrious and thrif
ty of their people. All are intelligent.
Not a child among them twelve vears old
but that can read, write, cipher and
parse a sentence. Let them come by the
thousands if they will. The hills and
valleys of North Georgia will just suit
them.”
A rash cow, on a farm about four miles
from Columbus, on Sunday last, put its
tongue through a crack in a stable in
search of food. A vicious horse in the
aforesaid stable immediately seized that
cow’s tongue between his own teeth and
bit off about three inches of it. The cow
is in a critical condition, and, no doubt,
wishes she had kept her tongue between
her own teeth. A town cow—one of those
from Cartersville for instance—would
never have been caught up in that way.
Milledgeville Union : “Bob Spencer,
formerly Bob McComb, a colored man,
has worked at the Milledgeville factory,
as a fireman, for twenty consecutive
years. During all this long time, as a
slave and a freedman, Spencer has been
faithful in the discharge of every duty as
signed him, and diligent in and out of
season, bearing an irreproachable name
with both races—temperate, polite and
industrious. What an example to the
colored men have we here! Such men
are respected in every community, where
industry, honesty and temperance are
pronounced virtues.”
Thomasville Southern Enterprise : Bish
op Whipple, of Minnesota, held service,
morning and afternoon, in the Episcopal
church on Sunday last. In the afternoon,
instead of preaching a regular sermon, he
f ave a sketch of his experience with the
ndians in the extreme northwest. His
remarks we*e very interesting and we
could not help feeling that the policy
which has been pursued of late years to
wards the Indians is all wrong, and not
oidy wrong, but a blot most foul upon
the escutcheon of these United States.
In listening to the bishop we could but
feel that nearly all the so-called victories
over these poor creatures were most cold
blooded and dastardly murders. We wish
it were possible for congress to hear the
experience and heed the lesson learn
ed by this noble old man, during a life
time spent among the red men of the for
ests. We believe their views would un
dergo sdcft a change as would result in a
more humane treatment of the Indians
and an iuuww& strong bf dsphneW. ’ ’

Willard’s hotel was startled last night
by the alarm of fire. It was really on
fire, at least the rear portion, but extin
guished by our prompt fire department
before it fairly got under way.
General Banning, with great presence
of mind, moved his family to Riggs’, and
then, with the heroism peculiar to that
gentleman, went back for his army bill—
the Burnside unanimous, as amended by
Tom, Dick and the devil.
The Hon. Milton Saylor continued to
take his drinks at the bar with a cool in
difference to the excitement that was
beautiful to behold.
Governor Young, the congressman
elect from the second district of Ohio,
was observed to emerge from the base
ment with a section of stove-pipe on his
shoulder, which he deposited at Root’s
shaving shop, opposite.
The Hon. Ben. LeFevre would have
made a remark concerning the conflagra
tion, but he was so long pumping it up
the excitement was all over before it got
to the surface.'
Senator Gordon dashed out fiercely
le sabre de son pere , and fiercely asked if
Conkling or any of his incendiary docu
ments was about. He further remarked
that Ben. Hill was a d—d fool; (but as
this has nothing to do with the conflagra
tion, it had better be omitted.)
It was observed that during the entire
commotion the cashier was making out
bills with the steady regularity inciden
tal to his soul, and noneof the machinery
of this admirably organized hotel ceased
for a moment.
The fire was extinguished without
doing any harm, and is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. We
don’t know whether Senator Dawes had
been lurking about there, but we suggest
that his whereabouts at that time should
be investigated.
The damages from the fire are estima
ted at $3,000. — Washington Capital.
The inconclusive report made by the
yellow fever commissioners gives the
best evidence we could have that these
commissioners were well chosen. Half
educated men would have rushed boldly
in and got up a report that would have
apparently exhausted the subject and yet
would really have been oi no value;
these careful physicians, on the other
hand, assert no more than is well ascer
tained in regard to the subject of their
investigation, and then go on to make
some practical suggestions as to the
best mode of carrying on further obser
vations. In the time allowed them this
was all that they could do, and congress
should not hesitate to enact whatever
laws may be necessary to carry out the
commissioners’ recommendations.
The following resolution has been
adopted by the municipal authorities of
Atlanta:
Itesolved , That, having canvassed the
question of contract and claim to holding
the next Georgia state agricultural fair in
the city of Atlanta, during the fall of the
year 1879, and a reply to the communica
tion of Dr. 11. 11. Cary, member of the
executive committee of the said Georgia
state agricuttural society, that it is the
expression of the mayor and general
council of Atlanta, that the right to hold
such a fair in this city will not be pressed.
The amount of counterfeit coin in cir
culation in the United Suites is said to be
$2,000,000, besides the great number of
genuine pieces made fraudulent by the
removal of part of the metal. Whollj
spurious coins are almost always lighter
than the good ones, but an exception, de
scribed by the Scientific American, is a
$5 piece made of gold and silver and
really costing the counterfeiter $3 40
each.
The United States commissioner of ag
riculture suggests an experimental farm
of one thousand acres near Washington,
with five experimental stations in difier
ent sections of the country. The intro
duction and preservation of the breeds of
domesticated animals, and the domestica
tion of some of the native wild animals of
the country, among them the buffalo, is
named among the objects of this project.
The Atlanta Constitution says that the
weekly papers in Georgia are edited with
pure eaie and intelligence, and are more
thoroughly representatives than the
weeklies of any state in the Union. It
says that its exchange list embraces pa
pers from Maine to Texas and from Penn
sylvania to the Pacific slope, but very
few of those weeklies compare at all fa
vorably with those of Georgia.
Lowell, Mass., has over $16,5f0 invest
ed in manufactures, 100 mills, 745,048
spindles and 18,261 looms; 11,600 females

3,444,500 yards of cotton goods are pro
duced per week, with 112,650 yards of

6,250 shawls and 20,300 dozen of hosiery,
1,000,000 pounds of cotton and 170,500

Louis Weil, the only Jew in the North
Carolina penitentiary, has been pardoned
by Governor Vance, who endorsed the
following on the paper: “I take pleas
ure in saying that I sign the pardon in
part recognition of the good and law
abiding character of our Jewish citizens,
this being the first serious case ever
brought to my notice on the part of any
of that people.”
One reason assigned by the Chicago
Inter-Ocean why Mr. Christiancy desires
to get out of the country is that “his
young wife cannot agree with his adult
children.” Mr. Christiancy will not be
the first man driven away from home by
family differences, but it is not every one
who can retire from the domestic scene
on a profitable foreign mission.
Already a flaw has been found in the
Chinese immigration bill, which the
house passed so promptly a few days
since. The bill prohibits the importation
of more than fifteen Chinamen on any
one ship; but itapplies only to American
ships. In other words the prohibition is
of no avail.
This country has on its surface 179,204
miles of telegraph wire, which is the
greatest amount possessed by any coun
try in the world. Britiun comes next,
with 108,000 miles; Russia next, with 31,-
000; France with 25,000; Canada with
20,000, and Germany with 19,008.
The opening of a tramp yard in Hart
ford, where tramps are compelled to
work for their food and lodging, reduced
the number of such visitors in that city
during the year past 309. The year be
fore the number was 2,032. These figures
are very significant.
It is estimated by the commissioner of
pensions that the arrearages of pensions
for the 40,000 persons now on the rolls
will amount to possibly $40,000,000, and
that with a sufficient clerical force he can
adjust all such claims in ninety days.
By way of consoling the shareholders
of the City of Glasgow bank, the lord
provost tells them that the £5,000,000
sterling lost represents but six months’
expenditure of the inhabitants for liquor.

1879. THE 1879.
ATLANTA DAILY_ CONSTITUTION.
TT7E have few promises to make for the Con
\ V stiiution for 1879. The paper speaks for
itself, and upon that ground the managers offer
it to the public as the best, the brightest, the
newsiest and the most complete daily journal
published in the South. This is the verdict of
our readers, and the verdict of the most criti
cal of our exchanges.
Tlie managers will be pardoned for briefly al
luding to some of the features which have given
the Constitution prominence among Southern
papers.
I. It prints all the news, both by mail and tele
graph.
11. Its telegraphic service is fuller than that of
any other Georgia paper—its special dispatches
placing it upon a footing, so far as the news is
concerned, with the metropolitan journals.
111. Its compilation of the news by mail is the
freshest of the best, comprising everything of in
