Tn Baptist Bsvtvau.—The Bev. A. B.
Earle leaves this city for Savannah via Macon
this morning. His visit here, though not,
perhaps, marked by the success that has at
tended his ministry in other cities, has been
vary meeessfirl. On Sunday afternoon and
evening he preached in the First Baptist
Church. In the afternoon he preached a most
impressive sermon on ■'The Unpardonable
Sin," taking for his text the 32d verse of the
13th chapter of Matthew. For considerably
over an hour he kept an immense audience
spell-bound, and many a manly cheek was wet
with unwonted moisture called forth by the
earnestness and pathos of tho speaker. The
unpardonable sin was, in his opinion, a per
aistent rejection of the grace of God, and
might be committed by those who, to all ap
pearance, were consistent church members,
who in their hearts rejected Christ In the
evening the subject was The Marriage of Re
becca and Isaac as Negotiated by the Servant
of Abraham. Abraham, he said, was typical
of God, Isaac of Jesus Christ and the servant
of Abraham of the minister of the Gospel. In
the midst of his discourse a fire alarm was rung
which temporarily scattered a portion of the
audience. Mr. Earle was obviously much fa
tigued by his labors, yet preached eloquently,
touching tho hearts of his hearers. The ser
vices in the Second Baptist Church yesterday
afternoon and evening eloeed Mr. Earle's labor
in Atlanta.
Asdbiss to WoaxiiraxzN.—Mr. Jonathan
Horcross delivered an address to an-intelligent
andienoo of workingmen in the Representative
Hall, on Saturday evening. Tho address was
well listened to, and abounded with just such
suggestions as could emanate alone from a
practical mind.
The points argument made by Mr. Norcross
we understood to be these: First, that there is
a conflict between laboring men and capitalists,
and that laboring men have the right and power
to redress the wrongs and oppression cast upon
them by capitalists. Second, that the firet and
chief means by which capitalists become op
pressors of laboring men is throngh the use of
virions and pernicious credits, and tho dishon
esty and corruption these engender; and that
the only true grounds of credit and trust are
charity or benevolence and actual necessity, and
that as virions and pernicious credits are re
stricted, the surplus capital of the country will
he employed in productive enteprises, and to
the assistance of productive labor. Third,
that all credits employed in traffic, in credits or
in mere representatives of capital, such as
bands, stocks and notes, including gold and
currency, odd nothing to the production or
wealth of the country, or to the assistance of
productive labor, and that all ‘'bulling" and
“bearing," so called, which keeps (he finances
of the country in a constant uproar, and are
the means by which productive industry is con
stantly plundered, and n few capitalists gather
into their hands vast amounts of wealth, to be
employed over and over in the same manner,
ore effected entirely by a vicious and pernicious
use of credits. Fourth, the laboring men are
the true parties to strike at these virions and
plundering credits, and that to effect a reform,
laws mast be directed against the creditor os
well oe the debtor and the exemption laws.
Homestead laws, and the bankrupt Jaws, are
measures invoked by the victims of vicious
credits, as well os the general interests of socie
ty, and shonid be sustained by laboring men.
These were the leading points of the argument
There were others made on labor, money, its
use, etc. There woe nothing to array laborers
against employer*.

Stoee.—Lost evening, shortly after nine
o’clock, an alarm of fixe was sounded, and
proved to proceed from the above drag store.
The engines were most fortunately prompt in
attendance, Tallulah leading the van, No 1 be
ing second, No. 2 and the Hook and Ladder
company following closely. Considering the
inflammable nature of the stock,it wa sthe won
der of all that the entire building was not
consumed. This was owing to the courageous
conduct of the firemen, who did not scrapie to
peril (heir lives while introducing hose into
the basement, where the fire, from some inex
plicable cause, broke out So rapid was the
progress of the flames for awhile, that almost
the first intimation the employees in the upper
floor hod of the fire was the arrival of Tallulah
on the scene. The damage done most be con

Memorial Dav. -In spite of tho very threat
ening aspect of the weather, a very large
crowd assembled at the cemetery yesterday to
participate in or witness the ceremony of
decorating the graves of the Confederate sol
dier*. As nearly as could be estimated, there
were about two thousand peoplo upon the
ground, two-thirds of whom were ladies. Ail
brought offerings of flowers and evergreens;
and though early in the season the display
was a very good one. Wreaths hnng upon
many of the headboards, crosses were reared
in various portions of the cemetery and laid
upon very many of the graves.
The ceremonies were very simple. They
were opened with an eloquent and fervent* ad
dress to tho Throne of Grace by Rev. J. T.
Lcftwitcb, Pastor of the Central Presbyterian
Chnrch ; after which General John B. Gordon
introduced CoL E. F. Rage, who delivered the
address for the occasion. The address was
ably and carefully prepared, abonnded in beau
tiful thought, and was delivered in a manner
becoming the occasion. It was listened to
throughout without nny demonstration of ap
proval thither than a most attentive audience
which is the best compliment that can be paid
to a speaker.
At the close of the address the ladies scat
tered about among the graves and soon had
the greater portion of them decorated. By
six o'clock the ceremony was ended and oil re
tired, feeling that the day had been a solemn
one and the ceremony heantifuL

The Railroads.—Fearful accident on the
Macon and Brunswick Bond—The Savannah
Advertiser of Sunday says:
From Mr. A. S. Dclanoy, the conductor of
the excursion train which met with a serious
accident on the Maoon and Brunswick Rail
road on Friday last, we have received the fol
lowing authentic account: The locomotive
Decatur, driven by Mr. P. Igo, with three box
and three passenger cars attached, left Quit-
man oi 2 o’clock, for Brunswick, on an excur
sion trip, stopping at the following places
along the line of the rood and taking on board
additional excursionists; Valdosta, Stockton,
Hornersvillc, Blacluhcar, The train reached
Brunswick about ten o’clock on Friday morn
ing, when the excursionists disembarked from
the train, a portion of them proceeding on
board the steamer Water Lily on on excursion
trip to St Simons Island, the remain tier of the
party remaining in the city. After spending
about seven hours in Brunswick, the Water
Lily having returned, the excursionists, num
bering over three hundred and fifty persons,
ntobL Johnson, Chas. Sherer, J. W. Boraej? •('te^abarked on board the train on their way
hotneward. About 6 o’clock, r. m., the train
moved off and proceeded about fourteen miles
frqjn Brunswick, when a serious accident oc
curred. At this point there is a swamp, and
as there was no dirt at hand when the road
was built with which to form a solid road bed,
straight logs without any fastening were put
down, forming what is termed in railroad par
lance “cribbing,” and ties secured across them
upon which the iron was placed, necessitating
a a)ow rate of speed to insure safety in cross
ing it Tho engineer of the train not being
accustomed to that rente, was not aware of
his proximity to this swamp, therefore
unable to check his engine in time whila
crossing the cribbing*; consequently the rapid
rate of the train caused a movement of the
logs in the soft mud, which threw the train
off, ora portion of it, causing the following
casualties:
C. W. £i}QwV*t of Blackshca, killed.
John Parker, of Quitman, killed.
Handy Winns, child, colored, from Quit-
man, killed.
Hasty Winn, colored, from Quitman, serious
ly injured.
Monroe Greiner, colored, from Quitman,
seriously injured.
A. Greiner, colored, from Quitman, serious
Iy injur*!/
Ben. Hilliard, colored, from Quitman,
seriouly injured.
Celia Fry, colored, from Quitman, seriously
injured.
William Baker, train hand, right leg broken
below the knee.
In addition, several of the party were seri
ously bruised but not seriously injured. The
scene, upon the occurrence of the disaster, is
represented by those who 'were on board the
train, as truly horrifying—mothers looking
for children, and vice versa, whilst the screams
of those on the train, thrown into one con
fused mass, resounded throughout the adjacent
woods. Immediately after the accident, those
who managed to escape uninjured, went to
work with a will to rescue those who were un
able to extricate themselves from the cars,
and to care for the dead and wounded,
large fire was built in the woods, around which
the injured were placed, and every necessary
attention paid them, a physician, from Quit-
man. who accompanied the excursionists, ren
dering all the possible medical aid in his pow
er. The party remained in the woods around
tho fires until the arrival of the passenger
train from Macon, which being unable to pro
ceed toils destination, the entire party, togeth
er with the dead and wounded, were placed on
board and carried to No. G, Jesup’s station,
where every possible comfort was provided for
those uninjured, and additional assistance and
necessaries obtained for the injured. The en
tire party remained at Jesup until half-past 10
o’clock yesterday morning, when a special
train arrived from Savannah and carried them
to their respective homes, the dead being taken
in charge by their friends.
The damage to the train was not so great as
at first expected, the tracks constituting the
principal part of the breakage. The cribbing
is from two hundred and fifty to three hundred
feet in length, and about two feet in height,
which accounts for the miraculous escape of
the entire party from being either killed or
maimed. Two of the passenger cars had both
ends stove in, whilst the third remained unin
jured, having only slightly careened from the
track. One of the box cars is a complete
wreck, and the other two are badly damaged.
The locomotive which conveyed the excur
sionists arrived about half-past 8 o’clock last
evening.
Speaking of the Air-lino Railroad the Gains-
ville Eagle says: “We are also able to an
nounce this week, from personal observation,
that the work of construction on this road is
progressing in the most satisfactory manner.
The track on tho first section is being laid at
the rate of a half a mile a day, and it is ex
pected that the train will run to Norcross by
to-morrow. When this is done, the whole
force will be placed on tho second section, and
we are assured that tho work will be pros
ecuted with the greatest energy. The con
struction of the road from this point to Char
lotte, North Carolina, has recently been let to
P. P. Dickson & Co., of New York, who have
bound themselves to construct and put in
complete running order this part of the road
by May, 1872. Wo are informed that this
company has ample means and will promptly
fulfill their contract. This places the early
completion of this great enterprise beyond a
doubt, and it will bo gratifying news to our
readers.
A destructive fire occurred at Selma, Ala.,
on Tuesday night last, burning the depot of
the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, and in
juring other property in the neighborhood.
The total loss is estimated at $ Go,000. The
railroad company was partially if not fully in
sured.
A telegram was received in Charleston from
Pocotaligo Wednesday, giving the news that
the first locomotive for the Port Royal Rail
road hod arrived, via Savannah.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.
Monday, April 25.
The Senate met at 12 m., to-day, and was
called to order by the Hon. B. CONLEY.
After prayer by the Bev. Wesley Prettyman.
The roll was called by the Secretary J. G.
W. Mills, Esq., and the journal read by Mr.
Bishop.
Mr. BROCK moved the following resolu
tion:
Whereas, doubts are entertained by different
members of the General Assembly as to what
laws can be legally passed and as to what
powers we have as a legislative body,
Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives that the President of the Senate
appoint a committee of three on the-part of
the Senate to join such committee as the
House may appoint whose dnty it shall be to
wait on Brevet Major General Terry, Com
manding Third Military District, and learn of
him what in his judgment are the powers and
what legislation he will recognize os legal.
In support of the resolution, Mr. BROCK
said that it would open up the whole question,
whether they were a Legislative Body or not
In bis opinion they were, and could legislate
npou such affairs as did not conflict with the
General Government If it was necessary to
have the approval of the Military Commander
of the District his resolution would meet that
He thought that Gen. Terry would approve all
action that related to the StAte alone. Terri
tories had legisted for* themselves before their
admission as States, and sorely they could do
so. Various State Institutions needed legisla
tion. The Committee shonid be appointed to
examine into the management of the State
Rood. Another should be appointed to ex
amine] the accounts of the State Treasurer.
They should legislate upon a General School
system; they had appropriated money for the
purpose and had, as yet, received no benefit
from it. The Governor, in his Message, had
told them they could legislate. If Gen. Ter
ry thought they could not, then they could go
home.
Mr. HARRIS was not exactly satisfied with
the resolution of Mr. Brock, and offered the
following as a substitute -
Resolved, That a joint, committee of three
from the Senate and five from the House be
appointed to wait on his Excellency Provision
al Governor Bullock, and a^fter consultation
with him, report the proper sparse for this
General Assembly to pursue under the circum
stances which now surrotmd u£
He was not pleased with Mr. Brock's resolu
tion, because he was not satisfied that it would
be proper for them to communicate with Gen.
Terry. The Governor would give them no in
structions unless they were endorsed by Gen.
Terry, Mr, Brock thought they could go on and
legislate even so they would have the views of
the Governor upon the situation. There was
a small difference between them, but he thought
his the more proper course.
Mr. NUNN ALLY approved Mr. Harris’ res
olution, provided that the word provisional”
be stricken out. He contended that the Leg
islature was not provisional and that the Gov
ernor could not be provisional. If he was, who
appointed him; where was the order or author
ity by which he so signed himself A Provis
ional Governor could not be elected, and must
be appointed. He moved the following as a
substitute for the resolutions previously of
fered.
Resolved, That a Committee of two on the
part of the Senate, to unite with such members
of a like committee on the part of the House,
to wait on His Excellency the Governor, and
inform him that both Houses have met accord
ing to the time appointed and are ready to pro-'
ceed to business.
Mr. HIGBEE read extracts from acts of
Congress to prove that the Government of
Georgia was provisional, hence the Governor
as a portion of the Government of the State,
must ftl$Q be provisional. He thought it be
came them to wait until notified by their su
periors that they could proceed to legislate.
Mr. BRADLEY supported the motion of
Mr. Nunnally. He argued for legislation, and
said that the reason Georgia had not been ad
mitted was because she trad not done enough,
had not passed a jury, militia and school bill.
He proceeded to make personal remarks about
the Governor, and was called to order.
Mr. BROCK accepted the resolution of Mr.
Harris upon his adding to it “and through
him (the Governor) with General Terry.”
Mr. CAMPBELL supported the resolution
as amended by Mr, Harris.
Mr. HUNGERFORD, amid much interrup
tion from questions, spoke in favor of Mr.
Harris’ resolution. He hoped Mr. Nunnally
would withdraw his resolution and spake it a
unanimous ypte,
Mr. HOLCOMBE moved to strike out the
word “prorisionaT from the resolution. His
argument followed the same line as Mr. Nun
nally, that the Governor was not a provisional
Governor. He thought there was an object
sought to be gained by getting the Senate to
recognize him as the Provisional Governor.
Mr. CANDLER supported the resolution of
Mr. Nunnally. He did not know any. prece
dent for such a committee as proposed by 'Mr.
Harris. In a warm address he stated his
views on the provisional government of the
State, maintaining that since the sessiop. of
1868, and particularly since the ratification of
of the 15th amendment, the government has
ceased to be provisional, though Congress now
contemplated making it so.
Mr. HIGBEE moved the previous question.
Carried.
Mr. HOLCOMBE’S resolution was lost.
Mr. NUNN ALLY’S resolution was lost by
18 to 15. The following is the vote:
Yeas—Messrs. Bradley, Barns, Candler,
Fain, Griffin 6th, Griffin 21st, Holcomb, Mat
thews, Merrill, McWhorter, Nunnally, Smith

Nays—Messrs. Bowers, Brock, Campbell,
Coleman, Corbit, Crayton, Dickey, Dunning,
Harris, Henderson, HIgbee, Hangerford, Jones,
Richardson, Sherman, Stringer, Wallace and
Welch—18.
Mr. Hams* resolution was then carriedi
A message was received from the House
throngh their Clerk, Mr. Newton, stating that
they had passed a resolution similar to the ori
ginal resolution of Mr. Harris in the Senate.
Mr. MERRELL moved it be token up. Car
ried.
Mr. COLEMAN moved to concur.
Mr. BRADLEY, on the motion to concur,
took another opportunity to let fly another
vituperative speech against Gov. Bullock. He
proceeded to such a length that the President
after repeatedly calling him to order, compelled
him to take his seat
Mr. HYLLYER moved the previous question.
Carried.
Mr. CANDLER appealed from the decision
of the Chair in forcing Mr. Bradley to take
his seat
The PRESIDENT ruled him out of order,
the matter then before the House being the pre
vious question.
Mr. Coleman’s motion to concur was
carried on devision by 25 yeas to 7 nays.
Messrs. Harris, Nunnally and Brock were
appointed a Committee on behalf of the
Senate.
The Senate then adjourned on motion until
12 o’clock noon, Wednesday.
HOUSE.
Monday, April 2a
House met pursuant to adjournment, and was
called to order by the Speaker at 12 o’clock m.
Proceedings were opened with prayer, by
Rev. Mr. Crumley.
The minutes of the last meeting having been
read and approved,
Mr. BRYANT, of Richmond, • moved that
the House do now transact the business which
the State greatly needs. Or if not, he was in
favor of adjourning sine die, to await the action
of Congress on the Georgia question. He
wanted an investigation into the State Rood
affairs, and into the charges preferred by tie
Treasurer against the Governor.
Mr. DARNELL, of Pickens, offered a reso
lution to the effect that a committee of five life
appointed, of three from the Senate and five
from the House, to wait upon his Excellency
Governor Bullock, for the purpose of ascer
taining his views with regard to the procedure
of business by the Legislature.
Mr. PHILLIPS, of Echols, spoke at some
length in favor of at once proceeding to bud*
ness.
Mr. PRICE, of Lumpkin, odered a resolu
tion that a committee of three be appointed
from the House to wait on the Governor and
inform him that they are ready to proceed to
business, and await a message from him.
Mr. PRICE gave way for a moment to
Mr. SCOTT, of Floyd, who raised an ob
jection to further business by the House ac
cording to the Constitution of Georgia, which
provides that the Legislature shall not be in
session more than forty days, and that it has
already been in session for forty-seven days.
The SPEAKER ruled that the House by its
vote could extend their session.
Mr. SCOTT, of Floyd, appeals from that
decision.
On the vote being put the decision of tho
Speaker was sustained.
Mr. PRICE resumed, contending that if Mr.
Scott was going to call in the Constitution as
the law to govern this body, then the gentle
man from Floyd should not have drawn as
much pay as he did, as the House met before
the day appointed by the Constitution.
Mr. LEE of Newton, offered a resolution us
a substitute for the whole to the effect that the
Legislature do adjourn sine die subject to the
call of the Governor, and that the military
commander General Terry draw up on appro
priation bill and pay this Legislature.
Mr. PRICE resumed, and stated that it was
a scandal to the State that they should now
adjourn before anything had been done. He
would exhaust every cent in the treasury in
establishing the free common school system
throughout the State. He affirmed that if
they could not be called together by the Gov
ernor if they should adjourn sine die unless
the Governor was specially empowered by
Congress. He urged the members not to al
low any quibbles offered by some of the mem
bers to influence them in the vote abont to be
taken.
Mr. TWEEDY, of Richmond, said that as
for “conscieuc,” spoken of by the member
from Floyd, he considered the Republican
side of the House had as much as the opposi
tion, and they were not yet ready “ to perish
by the way-side.” He moved to lay the reso
lution of Mr. Price on the table, and called
the previous question.
Yeas and nays haying been called on the
motion to lay Mr. Price’s motion on the table,
the vote stood—yeas 5G, nays 53.
Mr. MADDEN, of Burke, called the pre
vious question on Mr. Darnell’s resolution. •
Mr. TURRER, of Bibb, moved that he be al
lowed to alter the phraseology of the reso
lution. Lost
The vote on Mr. Darnell’s joint resolution
having been token stood, yeas 58, nays 52.
Mr. VIRGIL HILL YER moved that the
committee be appointed.
The SPEAKER then appointed Messrs.
Darnell, Price, Bell, of Banks; Lee, of New
ton; and Harrison of Hancock
On motion Messrs. Lastinger, Tumlin and
Williams, of Morgan, were granted leave of
absence.
Mr. CHAS. O. JOHNSON, of Spalding,
moved that the House adjourn until 12 o’clock
Wednesday, 27th instant. Carried.
The House adjourned accordingly.
The Cessna Georgia. Bill,

resentation in the Congress of the United

The Legislature of Georgia.
From tlie Washington Chronicle, 18th.]
In the coarse of tho discussion in tho Sen
ate the other day upon the bill for the admis
sion of Georgia a slur was cast upon tho char
acter of tho present Legislature of Georgia—
that its personnel was not credible, and, there
fore, a new election should be provided for be
fore tho expiration of the proper term of the
present members.
As the present Legislature is controlled by
Republicans, this slur becomes an unjust re
flection upon the character of the men who,
in Georgia, are the friends of the Administra
tion and of Congress.
This kind of personal vilification has been
one of the most effective weapons with which
the rebels have sought to destroy the Union
party in the South. No matter what may have
been a gentleman’s standing and character be
fore, if now he espouses the cause of equal
rights, the ragged chivalry open their tirade of
social slander npon him. But we certainly
did not expect that the authors of the very
u measures, in the support of which onr politi-
tho Constitution os' 681 fncndB in South, ond perhaps espe-
cially in Georgia, have brought upon them
selves this shower of rebel odium, would now
unite with the Northern echoes of Southern
treason in decrying the men upon whom the
Republican party Las confidently and success
fully relied for tho establishment of those
measures.
We will not occupy time or space now in

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, April 25,1870.
rpHE office of Secretary of the Georgia State Agricul-.
JL taral Society having become vacant by the resigna
tion of the late incumbent, I hereby, by virtue of the
power invested in me, aa tho President of the Society,
issue this notice, that on WEDNESDAY, the 22d June
next,- an election will be held in this city, to fill the va
cancy. All members, aa well as those who may beoome
members by the payment of two dollars for the card
which entitles them to all the privileges of Membership,
for tho year 1870, and to access to the Fair Grounds,
anil-the privilege of exhibiting articles for premium,
without further charge, will be entitled to vote. Mem
bers who live at a distance can vote by proxy or by en
dorsing their ballots to the President. Tho order, and
mode, and place of holding tho election, will be pub-
lishedin the newspapers of the city, on the morning
of the election. Persons wishing to become candidates
must make it known iq such time and manner as they
deem proper.
The-President s
member of the Georgia Legislature thus as
sailed, but let us look at the body itself and
some of its acts.
In the Senate of forty-four members, and a
House of one hundred and seventy-five, there
are in the Senate four colored members; the
other forty are white men, all of whom, with
two exceptions, are natives of the South, or
men who have lived in the State for years be
fore and daring the rebellion.
This body elected as its presiding officer
Mr. Benjamin Conley, of Augusta, an ex
emplary, upright Christian gentleman, for
many years largely engaged in the wholesale
shoe and leather trade, railroad president,
bonk director, mayor of the city, and senior
warden of St Paul’s Episcopal Church. No
man can say anght against him personally.
Politically he was a consistent Union man
daring the war, and is a Radical Republican
now. For this he is denounced as a “scal
awag.”
The President pro ienu, Hon. John Harris,
of Newton county, is one of the most respect
ed citizens of the State, has for many years
represented his district, and is now, we be
lieve, the Grand Master of the Masonic frater
nity for tho State. He is, of course, a Repub
lican.
In the House there arc thirty-three colored
members, the others are white men, and with
but six exceptions all of them are natives of
the South, or men who have lived there many
years before and daring the rebellion.
This body elected for its presiding officer
Mr. Robert L. McWhorter, of Greene county,
a gentleman who is a native of that State, the
largest Land owner and planter in his county,
and whose family connection probably own
more land under cultivation than any other one
family in the State. His public and private
character stands equal to the best. As a
Whig before the war repeatedly elected to rep
resent his county and district, opposing seces
sion until the outbreak of hostilities, he then
entered the Confederate army as Major and
fought the battles of the South until the sur
render at Appomattox, and since the surren
der has been an ardent friend of the re-united
country, and an able supporter of Republican
principles.
Though for many years a leading member of
the Baptist Church, he is now denounced by
the rebels as a “scalawag” and “white nigger,”
and can only live on his plantation because it
is well known to the Ku Kluxes that his house
is an arsenal and that his sons will shoot The
Speaker pro tern., Hon. E. Tweedy, of Rich
mond county, was Major of Cavalry in the
Confederate army ; a man of high character
and ample means, who lias retired from busi
ness, and is a Radical Republican.
And we ask, shall Republican Senators coun
tenance the rebel slanders by which this class
of men and those whom they represent are
sought to be set aside and denied their rights ?
After all the dangers, trials, and toils,
through which the Union meu of Georgia have
passed in supporting the Congressional policy
of reconstruction, are they to be ignored and
their wishes and advice disregarded ?
After Congress has exercised its power and
enabled the Union men of Georgia to over
throw the Legislature of Georgia, which, in
defiance of law, was organized in the interest
of the rebels while Johnson was President, will
it now exercise that power again to disband
the Legislature which is now organized in ac
cordance with the law and in the interests of
the Union?
Shall we now discard our friends because
in supporting our measures they have become
obnoxious (o our enemies?
These are the practical questions involved in
the matter now before the Senate;
and the honest masses of Republicans desire
them answered as the Union battles were
fought—direct and positive—-for our friends
and against oar foes. Legal hair-splitting will
not excuse a failure.

Infection in the Air.—Experimental
chemists have repeatedly analyzed the air at unhealthy
seasons in the hope of detecting the invisible virus
which produces epidemic disease. They have not yet
discovered it, and scarcely any two of them agree as to
its nature. This is of little consequence. It is suffi
cient to know that this poisonous principle exists, and
that a safeguard against its insidious influence has been
provided. In the spring and early summer, when
fever and ague, remittent fever, and other periodical
diseases of that class are prevalent, it is only necessary
to fortify the system with a course of Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters to escape them. If this precaution has
been neglected, which it never ought to be in any
district liable to such visitations, and if the paroxysms
of malarious fever have actually commenced, they may
always be checked and broken np by a course of that
powerful vegetable tonic and alterative. Quinine was
once considered the only specific for chills and fevers;
but it is now generally admitted that this nauseous al
kaloid is a dangerous medicine, and that its secondary
effects are more to be dreaded than any form of inter
mittent fever. It is simply a tremendous astringent
It does not touch the disordered liver, or. regulate the
bowels, or in any way Improve the condition of the
animal fluids. Hostetter’s Bitters, on the other hand,
addition to being a better and safer tonic than any
preparation of quinine, has a balsamic effect upon the
whole system. It is aperient and antibilious, as well as
directly invigorating, and purifies the secretions as
well as regulates the secretive organs. It stimulates
the appetite, strengthens the stomach, soothes the
nerves, promotes healthful perspiration, and induuccs
quiet sleep. As a stomachic it has no rival. Cases of
indigestion that no other tonic seems capable of alle
viating, are cored in a few weeks by its regular nse.

to obviate the expense and in-
s and the necessity of holding
this election at a season so important to planters, by
addressing a letter to those gendemeu who were sup
posed to be legal members of the Society—giving them
the names oftho gentlemen who were candidates, and
asking them to communicate to him by loticr their
choice, intending, when all the votes were received, to
open them in the presence of Mr. E. C. Rawson, the
resident member of the Executive Committee, and the
Assistant Secretary, and announce the result. When
the time had nearly arrived when these votes were to be
opened and countod, a communication was received
from a number of gentlemen,'who, perhaps, had been
members for a previous year, but who were not
rnitted to vote by paying now the $2 fee, they would con
test the election as illegal, and resist the payment of the
salary of any Secretary elected without their votes
heing coanted, as illegal. Feuding tha time between
the determination to hold the election in the manner
first proposed and the counting ont of the votes, many
gentlemen had called on me to know if persons who
paid now and became members ooold vote in thiaelcc-
tion. I decided, end so th*m t that it was not
lawful or right for persons, after the polls wore opened
and the election in progress, who wero heretofore so
indifferent to the interests of the Society, as not to be
come members, now, in the eleventh hour, to take ad
vantage of locality and proximity to the scene, and
come in, and. by means and numbers, carry an im
portant election over the heads of those few legal mem
bers who, merely throngh motives of purs and unself
ish interest in the canae of Agriculture, renswad their
membership, and thus gave their nemos and means to
the society. This ruling was in accordance with the
plain law of the Society. I have not modified it, that
the payment of $25 created a family life membership;
$10 an individual life membership, and $3 membership
for the year only in which it was made, the year expir
ing with the dose of tho first Annnal Fair thereafter.
I am conscious of rectitude and no personal interest
in this matter. Ever anxiona in my administration of
the business of the Society, to be legal and just, and to
views of the gentlemen whose interest in behalf of
of the candidates induced them to make the protest
referred to, though in justice to the motives of the gen
tlemen referred to, I must express my belief that they
In adopting the coarse now laid down in this notice,
I hope all objections will be obviated, and am assured
it will add largely to the membership aa well as to the
revenue of the Society.
The thanks of the Society are due, and hereby ten
dered to the press of the State, for their liberality in
giving publicity and circulation to the cards and no
tices of tbo Society, and the favor is asked of the
publication of this notice in all the papers of the State,
it being one of the most important it lias ever issued.
Cards of membership will be sent to all editors and
publishers who will publish this notice and send a copy
of the paper containing the notice to the Secretary’s
office.
Cards of membership will be furnished each member

To Dr. Thomas A. Hurley:
Sir: I deem it an act of justice to you to state that in
the month of February last, I had a severe attack ot
inflammatory rheumatism, which completely prostrat
ed me. At the same time my lungs were much afflict
ed. I was so reduced that it was with the greatest dif
ficulty that I could walk. I procured some of your
compound extract of Sarsaparilla, and commenced tak
ing it. 1 fonnd that I began to improve—my cough be
came less severe—tho soreness of my lnngs and breast
gradually subsided—ray rheumatic pains less acute. I
attribute this mainly to your Sarsaparilla. I havo now
been taking it for over two months; have taken, in all,
five bottles. Its effects havo been most satisfactory to
me, and I advise others similarly afflicted, to give you
a trial. JOSEPH CLEMENT.

It is one of the best, safest remedies known, and as
