GEORGIA NEWS. < leaning* hii<l from our slate Exchange h. Revivals. are plentiful in Jackson conn - tv. The Swainosboro Herald says that cotton is unusually small in this section of country, but the plant is fruiting well. A ililliculty occurred in Griffin on the ‘2nd inst. between two men. Bill Bethune and Mid Grady. The former was seriously and probably fatally cur, entirely across tin* breast. The Southron complains that Gaines ville is tilled with overflowing idle boys who make wall flowers ot themselves all day long on the streets for passing la dies to look at and admire. They say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but according to the Jefferson Forest News it has struck very near the house of Mr. Abe Year wood, of Jack~on county, every year for ten years past. A-colored gentleman of Liberty coun ty informs the Jlinesville Gazette that notwithstanding the “dry drout,” the “perduce” in tlie lower portion of the county, especially rice, ’possums and per simmons, is good. The Atlanta Post in irs trade issue September Ist thus speaks of Whitehall street: “Atlanta’s Broadway. The -plendersef Whitehall street. Its mug nifleeut structors, crystal palaces and da/ling bazars.” Good. The Atlanta Dispatch has been inter viewing the members of the State Sen ate in regard to their Presidential prefer ences. Twelve were unqualifiedly for Tilden, five were emphatically against Tilden, and the rest were scattering. The Sandersville Courier announciy that on the 10th inst. Messrs. J. I>. An thony & Sons, proprietors of that paper will retire permanently from journalism. The present editor, Mr. IV. ('. I>a\is, w ill continue to conduct the paper, and elevating in the influences, and in every w ay worthy of support. The coroner’s jury in the case of the negro woman, George W? s’lington, found dead in her bed at her home near Colum bus have brought in a verdict that her death resulted from softening of the brain, caused by external violence at the hands of one Ambros Johnson, colored, and that he is guilty of involuntary man daughter. She had been drinking, and w hile in a difficulty with Johnson he -truck her on the head, thereby caused her death. Ilinesvllle Gazette : “Our young friend Dyman Norman has kindly sent us a specimen of his rice. It measures seven feet in height and the heads are fully ripe, while the stalk is green to the bottom. Mr. N. informs us that this is anew variety of rice obtained from the Agricultural Department at Wash ington and is called the “Gildeu Head.” lie is very much pleased with the experi ment and proposes to plant largely of this seed next year.” The Harlem Columbian reports an amusing case of mistaken identity at a camp meeting near that place, it says that a young man who is cultivating a virgin moustache, stepped up gallanty to a married lady and solicited the pleas ure of her company for a promenade. With visions of girlhood doubtless flitting across her memory, she consented. The stroll was pleasant until he began whispering softly, sentimentally, in her ear, when she remarked that perhaps it was her sister he wanted. Blank amazement rooted him to the spot. He thought he had been with her sister all the time. The Macon Telegraph says that the in dications are that business in many de partments of trade this season will be bet ter than it has been for several years. The iron men ot that city have all the work they can attend to. One of the iron works is running on double time, and another has adopted eleven hour sys tem. Hands are scarce and more are wanted to do the amount of work required to keep up w ith the incoming orders. A great many engines are being sold and an immese amount of mill work is con tinually being ordered. These special orders, together with the general work, keep things lively. It it hoped that the revival in this branch of the trade will extend toothers. Deer Hunting is a great pastime in Kmamiel county. The Swainesboro Herald says: ‘‘.Mr. George M. Morris sends us the horns of a buck killed by him near Pendleton creek, while hunt ing with Mr. Green and Thomas Mor ris on the 23d of last month. We are told that this is the largest deer that has been killed for some time, and measure feet five and eight inches. The horns which can be seen at our office, measures two feet four inches. On the drive the Morris boys jumped three deer and two, one of which they tracked for live miles, and gave up the trail on account of a heavy rain storm coming up. The buck secured we learn, was a very tine one, and the boys were proud of their day's sport. It is really alarming how brutally the poor African is treated in the South. Only the other day we mentioned how a farmer, near Dublin, had given a tre mendous barbecue to his field hands, and made them eat until they couldn't eat any more, and now the Columbus Times reports Mr. Thomas DeWolf, of Chatta hoochee county, on Saturday last got up a similar entertainment for his farm hands. lie carried tilings to a most culpable extreme. He had killed a w hole bullock and sundry hogs, and when the whole neighborhood was titled with his husky victims he set them to work eating and kept them at it for hours, actually making them sing old plantation melodies during the wdiole time. And then not satisfied with this, after they had finished their re past, he caused them to adjourn to a neighboring barn and dance until they were so tired that they were foreed to go bed and sleep soundly until the next morning. And yet the poor creatures were so foolish as to even thank God for the happiness they enjoyed, and to call down blessings on the heads of “dear old Master and Missus” for the feast they had prepared for them. Now let the Radi cals get up another howl. —Savannah News. Milledgeville Union and Recorder: “By an act of the legislature the walls of the old penitentiary, in this city, were dona ted to the State Lunatic Asylum, and will soon be put to the use intended by the act aforesaid. The tearing of the walls commenced last Thursday. Cap tain M. R. Bell and Mr. J. T. Arnold have taken the contract to deliver the brick at the asylum. The walls were originally built in the year 1818, but from time to time have been enlarged, as the number of convicts. The buildings in the interior have several times been destroyed by fire. The last fire du ring the occupation by the State, was on the night of November Bth 1843. All the workshops, to Ms, lumber, were des troyed. Only the cell building, which was of stone remained. It was set on fire by the convicts, The loss to the Slate was $30,000. Not a convict es caped. It would in our opinion, be a good thing for the State, as well as our city to sell out the whole—that is, the land and what remains of the buildings, etc. The twenty acres of land at tached and embraced by the walls are in the centre of the city, and would it cleared of the rubbish upon them, be valuable as lots for building purposes. As the property now stands it is useless for any purpose, and is but an eye-sore to lh< people ol MiliedgevUle.” TOOMBS ON TARIFFS. The Constitution Builder on the Legality of the Railroad Bills. The following correspondence, is so fully explanatory of itself that comment is superogatorjx It will be read with interest in the present stage of legisla tion in the house: Atlanta, Ga., September 3 —General Robert Toombs, Atlanta Ga. —Dear Sir: You l>eing regarded by the whole people of our state as the author of the railroad clause in out constitution, and feeling that you fully understand this great problem, 1 desire your views upon the Fort-Rangin bill now under considera tion of the house of representatives. Please state also your views upon the railroad committee’s “substitute” for the above bill, and better known as the Hall substitute. Does the substitute proper ly dispose of all the questions that can be covered by legislation ? If the sub stitute is defective in any respect, please point out the defects. Objections to the substitute have been made of the fol lowing character: that he confers too much power on the commissioners, in this that it permits the commissioners to decide what are through and what are local frieghts, and authorizes the com missioners to regulate by each road; that the power to regulate is a legislative power, which cannot be conferred upon the commissioners; and the power given to the commissioners to try complaints made against railroads for violating the law is too extensive, and that the bill in terferes with the inter-state commerce, etc. Would feel very grateful to you for your views upon (lie above questions. Yours truly, A. ('. Westbrook. <;kn. toomb’s reply. Atlanta, September 3, 1879. —To Hon’. A. ('. Westbrook, Representative from Dougherty: Dear Sir—ln reply to your favor just received, I would say the sup posed constitutional difficulty, in my opin ion, does not exist. !See article 3, section 7, paragraph 22 of the constitution, which gives to the gen eral assembly the most ample power and is in conformity with the decision of the United States supreme court in Minneso ta vs. Illinois. “The general* assembly shall have pow er to make all laws and ordinances consistent with this constitution and not repugnant to the constitution of the Uni ted States, which they shall deem necessa ry and proper for the welfare of the state.” It is not proper for the constitution to fix a tariff of rates; that is a changable thing, and the people of Georgia could not be called into the constitutional con vention every time a tariff needed chan ging. Nor can the legislature well anu properly fix it. It must be adjusted from time to time to meet varying cir cumstances, by a proper constituted body always in existence. In regard to the general policy and the merits of the bills now or heretofore be fore the house, I will present some other views to-morrow, your letter coming too late for an instant reply. I will how ever, say that in my opinion the bills are constitutianal and the whole problem is one of policy. I think the legislature has the right, under the constitution, to dispose of the whole subject, directly or by permission, and the constitution was expressly framed to that end. In advanec 1 would add that in my judgement the English acts of 1854 and 1873 furnish the model for legislation, as I will show more in detail in another let ter. They are the results of the ripe experience of a people from which we have derived our most valued institution and whose respect for all rights property is proverbial Yours respectfully, R. Toombs. A SAD AND SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. Mr. 11. L. Stuart, of New York, the generous donor of the portrait of Dr. Crawford W. Long to the shite of Geor gia, arrived in Athens, on Friday night last, as the guest of Mrs. Long and fami ly. On Saturday morning Mr. Stuart, not making his appearance at the usual breakfast hour, and he being known to the family as an early riser, they sent up to his room in order to ascertain the rea son of his delay. The servant who went up, knocked at his door and finding Mr. Stuart still in bed, reported back to the family that he was not up or ready for breakfast. Waiting awhile longer, and the distinguished guest still not making his appearance, by which time Dr. Camak had called to see him, Mrs. Long request ed Dr. Camak to go up to his room and sec if anything was the matter. Dr. Camak found Mr. Stuart in a semi-con scious condition, which was the result of extreme nervous prostration. Later in the day his condition became serious, a partial paralysis ot the right side having obtained. Medical aid was at once sum moned, and everything possible done which could in the least contribute to the comfort and relief of the noble friend of this now anxious and distressed family. Friends from all parts of the city hearing the sad news, immediately repaired to the house, and our whole community was moved with sympathy at the sad and sin gular coincident, that Mr. Stuart and the great friend and admirer of Dr. Long and he was striving so errnestly and so phi lanthropically to have proper honor done the memory of the great discoverer of antethesia, should have been stricken with paralysis, at the home of Dr. Long, and, what is still more remarkable, with the same disease that ended the useful days of the distinguished and lamented discoverer, and that, too, on the same day or night of the same day or night of the week (Friday night). The family of Mr. Stuart was immediately telegraphed as to his condition, and Mrs. Stuart is expected as soon as she can reach here. Grave apprehensions were entertained on yesterday as to Mr. Stuart’s condition, it being thought that he eould hardly re cover. But we are glad to be able to state at this writing (Monday afternoon), that he is much more comfortable, and his condition much more hopeful. His physician now thinks there is considera ble probability of his recovery, though he will be necessarily confined t or some time—certainly not less than one month. .Tere Haralson, colored, in the Balti more Gazette, says: “I am opposed to ray race leaving the south. It is the proper place for a colored man. It is the land of his nativity, and the mild climate of the south is especially adapted to his present impoverished and ignorant con dition. Our race in the south are poor, and havn’t the money to buy sufficient clothing and fuel to protect them against the cold and' rigorous climate of the northwest. The negro will not thrive in a country where there is no woods or timber. Ever in the south there is plen ty ot timber and fuel. A colored man can go into the woods, cut him down a few poles, notch him up a log cabin, daub the cracks with mud, and in a week he is as comfortable as a beaver. The Washington Post says it is becom ing too evident to admit of serious doubt, that the campaign of 1880 w ill be fought by two parties only. Those who have been hoping for a triangular or tripartite contest, must see that all probability of such a condition of affairs is rapidly van ishing. All minor differences of opinion w ill be waived or forgotten in the intense excitement of the approaching struggle. Legal Advertisements. Bartow County Sheriff ’s Sales.

ELECTRICITY ! I ELECTRICITY I Possesses the greatest power known to man, once but little understood ami for all time greatly feared, is now made useful and subservient to man. THE NEW METHOD I Of protection against lightning, on the theory and patent of J. C. CHAMBERS, w’hich he Ims recently discovered, is rapidly taking the place of the old rod. I T THE OLD PLAN I Of rodding buildings—connecting the rod with the earth—has been proven unsafe, and even dangerous. The new' method places the rod and points on the roof of the honse, much after the old style, with Chambers’ Improved Insulators, W'ith no rod running down the side of the house to the earth. „ ” I RODS AND POI NTS 1 Put up on Chambers’ theory, operate as active agents facilitating the natural law's of electrici ty by a continuous discharge or throwing off the nogative electricity, thereby neutralizing the positive in the atmosphere above, and particu larly so during a heavy thunder storm, thus re pelling a stroke instead of inviting it. In the event these points should not |throw off the negative fast enough and a stroke should take place at one of these points, it simply runs off at the other points and is disseminated in the at mosphere above where it belong-.. I CHAMBERS’ NEW METHOD I Has been examined and thoroughly tested by scientific men, and pronounced to be the only correct principle for protection. We have accepted an agency, and are now ready to put up rods on the pi an of the new method.
