IT WORDS TO THE EXPRESS. Wouldn’t it l>e splendid if someone of the “in depdndent papers, so-called, would speak in a er ii: able manner of some democratic officials? In order to “keep even,” as Bill Arp would say, lucre i-'seldom a good word said by the party pi s, for any man who is in bad temper with the party. Must these thing continue ? The in vestigations of officials of the state now in pro gress have arrayed these antagonistic spirits against each other, and while none of the state papers are for vindicating the wrong, the rene gades are eager to make matters appear really worse than they are. Onr neighbor is unjust. Xo “indepen dent” paper ever said a word of secreta ry X. C. Barnett except to praise him. lie is a model officer; a good man. You did not fiud him growing rich ou a small salary. You did not find him in the convict lease; nor did you find him in tlie wild land fracas; nor did you find him getting “twelve dollars a head,” from every man who asked him to copy a little writing in his office. He does not draw any “interest from the banks” for the unlawful use of state money. No “independent” for the unlawful use of stale money. Xo “independent” paper says anything against him, nor does the AVpres# say anything for him. If you will look over its columns you can see who it does pufl', and that it extends its puffs to “the aunts and the cousins,” and especially to the sons. We may bo renegades, because we do dot admire some that tlie Express ad mires, but lie will find Bartow county “independents” will not patiently ad mire him for calling them “renegades” unless, indeed, they have no choice be tween that appellation and the “honora ble bilks” who are infesting the Atlanta eapitol. . . /’ORBEA !/s COM ME X T. We withhold com motif on the ’ various investigations now going on in Atlanta. The widespread suspicion against officials of this -fate is unwarrnted by fact in our opinion and the result will so prove so. The Cartersville Express is so convinc ed of the innocence of the accused offi cials in Atlanta that lie forbears comment, lie is satisfied they are all “right side up with care.”’ Ilenfroc and all the rest, must feci greatly obliged to our obliging neighbor. If the Express has seen any thing relating to-the charges against these officials, be must be an iron-ribbed and copper-riveted “organizer” to shut his eyes and declare such things “un warranted by fact.” lie says but little but that means a good deal. Ren froe says “lie took all that his bondsmen gave him and asked no questions.” Maybe our neighbor does not understand that the law said that be should have on ly bis salary, because he must agree that the money tile banks paid him for the nsc of this money of the state was out ride the lawful salary. Our neighbor w’l uoi see—lie i* wilfully blind. Ren frt'K- • • routs the facts and the Express iv- “not n, you did not do it, you were dreaming, u treasurer. You made a mistake. I’ll -laud to it—‘dieresult will ~o j rove it.’ ” The black shoat is always i while sheep with the Express, unless lo.>k ' :he animal through inde pendent glasses. 0 - -+ % —- rs THE MOXEY OF TITE STATE SAFE/ The treasurer says he put the money of the state in certain banks ami these banks paid interest to the bondsmen, who divided, and gave him one-third, which "he took and asked no questions.” If you put your private money in a bank, and that bank pays you their established rate of interest on that money, and that bank should break, do you not lose your money? Does it not go into bankruptcy with the rest of the assets of the concern ? If anything is ever recovered, do you not recover only your per centum, equalling with others who suffered with von? D the state’s money in this condition? The law never expected to endanger the public funds. The new constitution al lowed the "educational fund” deposited in any bank: and, except the funds ex pressly stipulated, -not one dollar of the state's money was allowed to be used hy these banks for their own profit. A spe cial depost is recognized in all trust worthy banks as a sacred thing—not to be used nor to become liable for the debts of that bank, but the bank pays no interest on that special deposit. I' the money of the state safe ? ♦♦ ♦ The principal keeper of the peniten tiary of Georgia is appointed bv tin* gov ernor. We mention this fact to ask it his excellency has regular tiles of monthly reports of the mortality, escapes, etc., of the convicts. H' the governor kept himself regularly posted by such re ports from the principal keeper? If he can make no such showing bad we not l>ett< r have wardens appointed to look af these matters. The current rumor this week now is tli.it Governor Colquitt is a candidate for re-election to the governorship. If he is not nominated the so-called democrat ic convention next year, he will run as an independent. How much of truth there is in this rumor we do not know. It is enough to say, however, that he has the slimmest kind of a chance for a sec ond term. ♦ — -x Old l ucle Barnett, secretary ot state, i ; yet untouched even by the tongue of suspicion.

The question of the legal advertising of the various counties in this state is now before tlie legislature. The direction given to such publications ought to be properly fixed by law. Officers should >e forced to give their advertising in the channels through which the greatest publicity can be made; but there is no law regulating this matter and officers are left to exercise their rights to give such patronage to whatever paper they may select through personal favoritism or without any regard to public interest or of public justice. These officers are left to pander to pec organs, at the sacri fice of the interests of the public. We have made a number of efforts to get proper legislation on this subject. It is a question of greater of importance to the public and the (interest of widows and orphans than legislators seem to compre hend. AVe hope tlie present legislature will amend the bill now in the senate so is to force county officers all over the state to advertise where it will best serve the public. Why do not the members of the legis lature attend to their duties? The pres ent is no time for absenteeism. The atmosphere about Atlanta (politi cally) is very foul. “SUGAR-CURED” To The Free Press: We are sorry that our friend Ham took sugar in “his’n.” We are afraid there was not enough sugiir to keep tlie bacon. But Ham need not grieve or feel lonely. It Is a rule to take sugar in all the trans actions about Atlanta. Mr. Murphy took eight thousand dollars for sweeten ing the Northeastern bonds; and it made them so sticky that they were signed rapidly. Mr. Goldsmith took only 50 cents ti. fa. sugar, but “every little makes a uickle,” and Ji. fa. sugar count ed up thousands in a little while. Air. Renfroe put out the state money where it turned to sugar mighty fast. One-third made over five thousand dol lars in a jiffy, and it made long sweeten ing and short swelling likewise. Mr. Xelms got his sugar at twelve dollars a head, counting convicts at that much. Did the sugar come in twelve dollar packages or in a lump? We did not know that convicts could get so sweet. Now, we want somebody to tell us who got the sugar from the big fees. Who was sweetened besides the state agents, so-called?' Who got some thousands? Sugar-cured Ham is not a circumstance to other sugar-cures. UNDER HIS NOSE. Washington, September4.—There has been considerable amusement in Wash ington to-day over the discovery and seizure by revenue officers of a well-ap pointed illicit distillery directly in front of the white house and only two blocks and a half from it, and situated where the smoke from its tires could be seen from the white house windows and from those of Commissioner Raum’s office. The capacity of the still was found to he about 300 gallons. It was situated on the third floor of a prominent building in the fashionable quarter of tlie town, and on a fashionable street, less than a block from some of the most prominent private residences in the city. The entire equip ment of a distillery of the capacity of 300 gallons was found on the third floor, the lower -floor being used as a provision store, while on tlie upper floors were lodgings for the workmen about the es tablishment.. 'flic only effort that had been made at concealment consisted in nailing paper for curtains over the front windows, and one window had been en larged by breaking out a portion of the walls, and tubes and other machinery of i he distillery had been brought in through i tear gate opening upon what is consid ered the most fashionable street in the city. Hie revenue officers, however, had been watching this place for some time, and l lie arrests made to-day were upon the occasion of tlie first starting of the es tablishment for active business. The proprietor of the provision store, who, with his two sons, seemed tlie chief own ers, the employes and carpenters, who put in the tubes, were arrested and taken before a United States commissioner. It is expected that other parties employed in fitting up various parts of the estab lishment will be arrested before morning. The free postal delivery begins at To peka October 1. The postmaster-general lias ordered an actual daily count in all postoffices from the Ist to the 7th of November, of all letters, packages, postal cards, etc. The publishers of newspa pers are requested to furnish postmasters with the number of papers mailed during the same time. 'The commissioners of the internal rev enue are informed that a fight between the revenue officers and the moonshiners in Barren county, Kentucky, one of the latter was killed and another badly wounded. Julia Johnson, the negress who wasac eaused of tlie murder of old Mrs. Farmer and her two daughters in September, 1878, and who was acquitted because the principal witness, Miss Bcttie Farmer, failed to recognize iter, is now on trial at Jonesboro for assault with intent to kill Miss Bcttie Farmer at the same time. A correspondent of the Griffin News de scribes a graceful scene which took place during the trial on Monday last, lie says that while the case was progress ing three negro women walked into the bar and took chairs by the side of the prisoner. As soon as the old lady, Miss Bcttie Farmer entered the courthouse to testify, these negroes and the prisoner commenced changing seats and bonnets. They changed backward and forward probably a dozen or more times. The idea was that M iss Bcttie had been posted as to Julia’s hat and location, and know ing that she was nearly blind they wished to make her fail to recognize the prisoner, as she did on the former trial. But her evidence was pretty clear and pointed, and showed that she fully recognized the prisoner, and that the prisoner gave her the intended fatal blow and afterwards murdered her mother. Says the correspondent: “The way these negro wenches were permitted to act in the court room to deceive this old, blind simple, inoffensive ladv, was, to sav the least of it, no credit to the court or law yers engaged in the defense.” The public debt statement issued on Monday shows: Interest-bearing debt $1,760,1)17,000: debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $41,140,910,29; lebt bearing no interest. $416,090,00a,96; total, $2,254,147,966,22; interest, $19,314,- 406,74; total debt, principal and inter est, $2,273,?62,432,86; total cash in the Treasury, September 1, 1879, $2,029,766.- 204,56, debt, less cash in the Treasury, August 1, 1899, $2,033,283,600,49; de crease of debt during the monih, $3,527.- 395,93: decrease of debt since June 30, 1870, $3,558,946,18. STAGNANT COTTON TRADE. Gloomy Report* from English Mills— Prob able Temporary Suspension. London, September C. —The trade in cotton goods continues in a stagnant con dition. The Manchester Guardian, re viewing the situation says: “The loss oc casioned by the'recent rise in cotton lias fallen about equally on spinners and weavers. The inducement to stopped ducing, is at present about the same in both eases. The execution of contracts on hand will doubtless delay the closing of the mills for a little time, but the mar gin of profit is so wretchedly poor that there is no reason for entering into fresh arrangements until there is a reasonable prospect of a drop in cotton or an ad vance in goods. At present, neither of these contingencies is expected, but later in the year some movement in both directions may he reasonably hoped for.” The Oldham (limited companies) have issued a circular, calling a meeting for the 13th instant, to discuss the present ruinous state of trade, which entails a loss of %and. per pound, and to adopt some measure whereby companies may be relieved. A correspondent of the Econmist , says it is felt in Oldhrm that something must he done to bring a pres sure on the Liverpool cotton market. One of tiie largest companies in Oldham intends to close for alternate weeks. It is felt that if this were done, for some time to come, or even if there was a to tal stoppage of the Oldham mills for a month, great improvement would he af fected, as Liverpool w ould lose so much ground. The Ashton operatives urged tlie mas ters yesterday to stop tlie whole of the mills for a limited period, instead of en forcing a reduction of wages, but the masters refused, and there are some threats of a strike. The master spin ners at Wigan stand firm and insist upon live per cent, reduction in wages of op eratives. A partial strike continues at Burnley. Branch committees for tlie promotion of emigration have been form ed at Aneoats. Information has been obtained from the American Consul at Sheffield, w hich confirms the accounts of the United States. The Consul be lieves that the improvement which was manifested during the last quarter of the year will he maintained. A COVERING WANTED FOR COTTON BALES. Among the matters of general interest brought forward at the recent convention of the National Cotton Exchange in this city, one ought to he of special interest to inventors. Speaking of the proposed reform in selling cotton, namely by net weight. President Lafitte said that it would be to the interest of planters not to have any allowance made for bagging. The cheap bagging now used is a poor protection for the cotton, and would soon he superseded under the new rule. In his own words: “If cotton were sold by net weight, some inventive genius would, in a few years, introduce good non-inflammable light material,” for covering the holes, thus saving much waste, damage, extra freightage and so on. The problem does not appear to be a vet y difficult one and its solution would pay well. The disadvantages attending the use of unrotten flax bagging was par ticularly noted. The texture is rough and open, affording an insufficient cover ing, and allow ing the cotton to deter iorate in value, while the expenses for mending the bales were considerably in creased. Air. John G. Dale, agent of the British and Foreign Marine Insur ance company, said that his company had sustained heavy losses for the use of such bagging, and had been obliged to make larger deductions from claims by way of protest. Mr. Trenholm estimated the cotton crop of this year at 6,250,000 bales. It‘ they were placed together in one long string they would measure about 4,500 miles, and stretch from New Orleans to Xew ? York, and thence across the Atlan tic ocean. Every linear foot would represent 100 lb. of cotton. With re gard to the prospects of the future, Mr. Trenholm said that now but one bale of cotton was produced to 2 4-10 acres of land, but it was possible, by proper management, as experience had demon strated, to raise one bale to every acre. He believed that ultimately our crop would he $12,5000,000 bales. In view of these figures \l is needless to urge the importance of the invention called for. Our wide awake inventors should see that the want is met proinpt- Iv. AID FOR GENERAL, HOOD’S CHIL DREN. We are glad to see that the suggestion made by the News on the morning on which the sad death of General John B. Hood was announced, to the effect that the public should come to the relief ot his destitute children, hut reflected the general sentiment of the Southern press, in Atlanta, the Constitution ottered a similar suggestion, which has been nobly responded to, a fund having been started there for their support, which reached one thousand dollars the first day. We have seen a recent dispatch which states that the lamented ex-Con federate chieftain left his children absolutely des titute, and on bis death bed committed them to the care of the soldiers of the South. Surely no other appeal could be made so touching to the hearts of those with whom he so gallantly fought, and for whom lie made so many sacrifices. Every city in the South should make it a duty to see that those nine surviving orphan children are placed far above the possibility of want. Any contributions for such a purpose left at this office will be forwarded to their proper destination.— Savannah News. HR. STEPHENS GIVES V HINT. It is with some reserve that we put upon record that Hon. A.* 11. Stephens told a reporter of the New York World that in the matter of the Presidential nomination he thought that General Hancock probably the best choice and certainly the most available among all those mentioned. The campaign was likely to turn on the issues of the extra session—local self-government and free dom of elections. General Hancock, he said, had shown much capacity for civil administration in Louisiana and Texas and great respect for the laws of the laud and their supremacy over the edicts of the military. He thought the best pledge the Democracy could give the country against the reactionary purposes charged by the Radical press and ora tors would be the nomination of a great soldier like Hancock whose name and fame were identified with the results of the war. He thought Mr. Tilden had few supporters in Georgia. —Chronicle ami Sentinal. It is announced that Mr. Westing house, of railroad air brake fame, is ex perimenting upon anew method of light ing railroad ears, He proposes to use his air brakes as the primary means of carrying out his plan. The brakes place an abundant supply of compressed air at his disposal, and a current of this is to he passed through carburetters placed under the cars so as to produce on air gas, which, it is claimed, forms a cheap and satisfactory means of illumination. Advice from the different parishes of Lousiana state that almost every sugar plantation in the State has suffered more or less from damage by Mouday’g StOTip, I the first steamboat. Georgia and not New York Entitled to this Credit. [Correspondence Savannah Recorder.] Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1. In looking over some of the letters on file in the archives of the State, 1 find one from Win. Longstreet, the grandfather of Judge Longstreet, which I copy and send you. It will te seen by this letter*that Win. Longstreet, on the 26th day of September, 1790, proposed and was run ning a steamboat on the Savannah river, near Augusta, Ga., and this data was seven years before Fulton had his steam boat. It this be true, Georgia and not New York is entitled to tne credit of hav ing tlie first steamboat in her waters: Augusta, Ga., Sept. 26., 1790. Sir — l make no doubt but you have often heard of my steamboat, and as olten heard it laughed at. But in this I have only shared the fate of all other pro jectors, for it has uniformly been the cus tom of every country to ridicule even the greatest inventions, unless use has proved their utility. In not reducing my scheme to prac tice has been a little unfortunate for me, I confess (and perhaps the people in gen eral,) but until very lately I did think that either artist or materials could be had in this place sufficient. However, necessity—that grand source of invention —has furnished me with an idea of perfecting my plan almost entire ly wooden materials, and by such work men as may he got here; and from a thorough confidence of its success, I pro pose to ask your assistance and patronage. Should it succeed agreeably to my ex pectations, I hope I shall discover that sense of duty which such favors always merit; and should it not succeed, your reward must lay with other unlucky adventures. For me to mention to you all the ad vantages arising from such a machine would be tedious, and indeed quite un necessary. Therefore I have taken the liberty just to state in this humble man ner, my wish and opinion, which I hope you will excuse, and I shall remain, there with or without your approbation, your Excellency’s most obedient and very humble servant, Wm. Longstreet. To his Excellency Edward Telfair. The Radical Nomination in New York. —The New York radicals in Wash ington say that the State ticket placed in nomination by Conkling’s convention on Wednesday is weak from tlie head down. Cornell, tlie candidate for Governor, they say, has not one element of strength, ex cept. that lie is the regular nominee, and that is a good deal with political parties. Hoskins, the Lieutenant Governor, was a member of Congress for two terms, and when he ran for the third term lie was badly beaten, although his was one of the strongest republican districts in the State. Hamilton Ward, the candidate for Attorney General, was' in Congress for tw r o terms, but while there never gave the slightest evidence of possessing more then ordinary ability. The w hole ticket, they say, is made up of what is known as machine politicians, and they cannot comprehend how successful, unless the Democracy place in the field a ticket equally as commonplace. ■ —■ - • ♦——— The Headlight i~ mistken in regard to a law giving the sheriff’s advertising to the paper that has the lragest circula tion. There is no such law in Georgia, and this is the reason why the present law should be repealed. Where there is no paper published in the county, then the law makes it the duty of the sher iff to do his advertising in the paper hav ing the largest circulation therein; but, where there is one or more papers pub lished in a county, the sheriff may do his advertising in either without any re gard whatever to circulation. This is where the shoe hurts. This is the loop hole through which the sheriff may pander to his pet organ to the detriment of a rival of greater circulation. As we said before, the present law in unjust, and oppressive and should be repealed. —Dalton Citizen. The yellow fever has appeared at Gre nada, Miss., the town that was almost de populated by it last year, and tlie people of that vicinity are fleeing for safety. All the towns throughout the State have es tablished rigid “shotgun” quarantines, and travel and trade are at a stand-still. Fear of the epidemic is interfering with the picking of cotton in some localities, in this way it may produce serious loss to Northern as well as Southern persons. The cotton crop this year is the best raised since the war, and very many of the planters have sold in advance, princi pally to New York buyers, the cotton to be delivered in November and Decem ber. A man w ith a S6OO diamond on his shirt bosom leaned over a hen crop in a Cincinnati market, and a hungry hen picked off tlie jewel and swallowed it. Ihe thief was soon lost among the hundreds, and there was no way of Identi fying her. So the man bargined to have them killed, one after another un til the crop was found. ' To recover the diamond cost him S2B. Of course, the admistration is “grati fied” with the result of the California election.

The arrival of immigrants for every month this year have exceeded those of the corresponding month of 1878, and the total up to the close of August foots uy 76,809, against but 54,155 for the first eight months of last year. The in crease comes mostly from Scotland, Ire land, Norway and Sweden, and a large portion of new comers are above the average of immigrants. An ancient burial ground is being exca vated by a local literary society at Madisonville, Ohio.

By that time Kalloch will have been inaugurated as mayor of the city, and on him it will probably devolve to make an ad dress of welcome.

A HARVEST OF DEATH. Special dispatch to The Constitution. Yorkville, Ga., September 7. —For the past month there has l>een a fearful disease raging in Polk, Paulding and Haralson counties. The physicians are baffled, and the people are dying with un usual rapidity in this famously healthy section. i have asked several physi cians what this disease is, and they all say they do not know. One thing is certain. It is fearfully fatal, and seems to continue to spread. ' One very strange circumstance is that it attacks young men alone. Bat one old man has yet died. Over fifty young men in the full flush of manhood' and strength have fallen victims to the terrible disease. It appears to he a sort of epidemic typhoid fever but has several symptoms different from those of regular typhoid fever. As I write Clarke White is being buried and I saw his corpse. He suffered terribly, and just before he died the blood oozed out of his mouth His tongue turned very black and swelled terribly. The disease is fearfully fatal. I know one prminent physician who had twenty-nine cases and not one recovered, though all received the most careful treatment. The people here are justly terrified at the ravages of this malady. God knows what it is, but it is causing sorrow in many a household and spreading fear throughout the •neighborhood from which I write. Physicians hope that the approaching cool weather will check it. Halt a dozen states are already begin ning to brag of the number of congress men they will send to Washington under the new census. Texas counts on twen ty representatives; Kansas boasts that it will increase its representation four mem bers. It is thought that Georgia will be entitled to three additional members. The colored refugee board held a meet ing at St. Louis Thursday night, at which reports were made going to show that there has been but little falling off in the colored immigration northwest and that the numbers may be expected to increase after the crop is gathered. With the state of California again in the hands of the Central Pacific railroad l ing, and the city of Sail Francisco given over to the tender mercies of Kearney's gang, with Mayor Kalloch at their head, it is not probable that the Chinese will need a second invitation “to go.” The Cartersville Free Press enjoys the’ sheriff’s advertising of Bartow county, and yet we are glad to note has the manhood to speak out and say the present law on that subject is oppress ive and unjust both to publisher and the public. —yion roe Advertiser.

DEMOREsT’S RELIABLE PAPER PATTERNS. - ,-i ■piERRINE MEDICINE CO. LOST! It is an established fact that Quinine or Cin chonidia will stop Chills, and for this purpose there is no better remedy. But it is also an es tablished fact that they do not remove the cause that produces the Chills. For if they did, the Chills would not return on the 7th, 14th, 21st, or 28th day. Then is it not money LOST to attempt to permanently cure the Chills with Quiniue or Cinclionidia, when they do not remove the cause from the system that produces them? For until the cause is removed, the Chills will return. The FERRINE Is warranted to remove every cause from the system that produces the Chills, and i£ it fails to do this you will sustain no loss, for every drug gist is authorized to guarantee a permanent cure in every case, no matter of how long standing and will refund the money if the Chills return after you are through taking. Positively no cure, uo pay. Try it and be convinced. It contains no poison, and is perfectly tastelesss ami a per manent cure guaranteed in all cases. FERRINE MEDICINE CO., E. W.
