House of Representatives, > Atlanta, Ga., July 14th, 1879. / Messrs. Editors: It is said of some eminent divine, that on a very warm Sab 'hath morning he appeared on the rostrum and shocked the moral sensibilities of his congregation by commencing his sermon in the following manner :“It is hot—it is d—nhot!” After pausing a moment he brought relief to the outraged feelings of his spiritual minded audience by continu ing :_*• such was the irreverent remark 1 heard made at the door as I entered church this morningand proceeded to preach an able sermon on the evil of profanity. We have no doubt but that clerical gentle man, were he in this city during this almost unparalleled period of excessive heat could find plenty of such texts. 'I he hot weather, dusty streets, parched and burning fields, all combine to produce sighs that the (liver of all good will again ** visit His plantation ” and bless us with a “glorious rnin.” The General Assembly went through n hot week’s work, and in view of the bad ventilation of the Hall, the members dc- j serve credit for the very faithful manner in which they keep their scats and attend j upon the duties of legislation. The week’s work just ended has not given j finality to any legislation, being occupied in forwarding along the business in a gene ral Way and the introduction of new bills, most of them of n local and special char acter. The following presents a meagre synopsis the acts and doings of the body: ... In the Senate Monday the majority and minority reports of the wild land commit tee were received and read. ou have doubtless read these reports. They show that a wild and ruinous ring swindling has been holding high carnival ; that the Comp troller-General has, through a misunder standing of the law. been instrumental in allowing this confused and troublesome state of affairs to be produced. The report states that all the transfers of wild land j tax 11. fas. were illegal, the settlements j made of the same by the sheriffs also ille- : gal. and recommend the adoption of a res olution declaring all sales made under the same null and void. In the House, the j same report was received. A motion was j made to reconsider the action of the House j with regard to preventing banks, Ac., from violating the usury laws, which prevailed, j The two reports with regard to referring local bills to the committee on local and special hills were taken up. and after con siderable discussion the minority report was adopted. This provides that local and special bills he referred by a two-thirds vote of tile House on each bill. Tuesday, the Senate passed the House bill requiring constables to sell property on regular court days. Also, a bill allowing defend ants in distress warrants to defend in ftor nut pauperis. This bill embodies the same provision as one we introduced in the House laat winter, and we think it will go through. In the House a motion was made to reconsider the action in adopting the minority report on local and special hills. The motion was laid on the table. The bill to repeal the act establishing the Agricultural bureau came up for a third reading, and considerable discussion pre vailed, lasting until the hour of adjourn ment. Wednesday, in the Senate the roll was called for the introduction of new matter. A resolution was introduced de claring that the Senate had no constitu tional authority in the matter of the inves tigation of the Governor in signing the Northeastern R. It. bonds. The coimnit tco report on the subject was recommitted. In the House, upon the commencement of roll call for introduction of bills, the ques tion as to the calling of the yeas and nays on the motion or icsolution to refer to committee arose, and after considerable debate a resolution was adopted declaring that the constitution did not require the veas and nays on a resolution of that char acter. Pending the call of counties, the House adjourned. Thursday, in the Sen ate the resolution declaring ilio Senate had no authority in the investigation of the Governor was discussed, and the commit tee report laid on the table to await the ac tion of the House. In the House, the whole session was taken in discussing the bill to abolish the Agricultural Bureau. Hon. J. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, made a characteristic speech, receiving the close attention of the House mid holding the floor until, tlie hour of adjournment, lie is perhaps the largest farmer in the House, and takes strong ground against the Bu- ream claiming tliat the farmers will got along better when relieved of the burdens of all the bureaus, than to continue them at the cost of high taxation. Friday, in the Senate, after going through with the business before it, and being fully up with its business it adjourned until to-day. In the House, Friday and Saturday was con sumed in calling the roll of counties for the introduction of new matter. The Clerk's desk was Hooded with local bills. About three days were consumed in reading the titles and taking the vote of reference. If each bill has to lie read three times, some idea can be formed as to the time that will be required for local bills alone. Inu ob serve that a compromise has been effected between the majority and minority gentle men of the Northeastern investigating committee. The report as agreed upon contains in substance : that the proof tails to show that the Governor participated in the Murphy fee. and however legal or ille gal the transaction tlie Governor was actu ated by pure motives. The report after thus viiuticating the Governor's motives and conduct, leaves the motives and con duct of Mr. Murphy out of it altogether. There is one fact underlying all these in vestigation?. reports, vindications, &c.. that Georgians should regret—and that is that such a complication of circumstances or of accidents should produce a necessity for investigating departments of the gov ernment. in order to ascertain whether or not corruption prevails. The great State -of Georgia deserves to have a government •without stain and without reproach and so pure in all its departments and workings as to stand aloft, above the breath of sus picion. With all our boasted greatness, and with all our pride of character, history and fame, it is lamentable, yet tr*f. that an impartial observer cannot look upon us and s>av that such a condition ol things ex ists.

That town will now be as “sounding brass and tinkling cymbals,’’ as it were. Rev. W. J. Florence, well known in this section as an earnest and faithful Methodist preacher, died at his home in Walton county, June 29th. The Oglethorpe Echo says that General Toombs was so much affected by a sermon from Bishop Pierce, recently in Washing ton. that the tears were seen to flow down his cheeks. Neal Winship. a negro who attempted to rape a young lady, was taken from the jail at Fayetteville on Friday night by a body of disguised men, and the next morning bis carcass was found hanging to a tree. The Atlanta Dispatch thus compliments our Senator : Senator Hodges is one of the most earnest members of the General As sembly. and ever watchful of the interests of his constituents and of the welfare of the State. A young woman in Saratoga county, N. Y.. who has been paralyzed for four years, was restored to health recently, as it is claimed, by the united prayers of the neighborhood. The doctors had pronounc ed her case incurable. Williamston, S. C., is startled by the sudden recovery of speech of a deaf mute, a negro named Marcus Johnson.

Gairdner; Secretary, P. \V. Davis. Elbert county will be greatly benefited by this institution, and contiguous counties also. The yellow fever has broken out in Memphis, and a panic lias ensued. The people are fleeing from the city by thou sands. New Orleans, Vicksburg and other cities have quarantined the ill-fated city. We sincerely trust that the alarm may be an exaggeration, but are fearful that the long dry spell will cause the lever to spread to a terrible extent. The fourth annual session and exhibition of the Georgia State Horticultural Society will be held in the Masonic Hall in the city of Macon, commencing Tuesday, July 29. 1879, at 10 o'clock A. M.. and continuing during the 30th and 31st. The several Railroads of the State have generously of fered to carry members and delegates at reduced rates. The Air Line Railroad will pass members for one fare. Elberlon closed doors last week to pray for rain. >Vc sincerely trust their prayers have been abundantly answered. Per sons who have visited Elbert county say that the drouth has been much more dis astrous in that than in this county. " e hope, however, their estimates have been exaggerated. If things should be as rep resented, now is the tune when the E. A. L. R. 11. will act well its part. A rail road is a great blessing, whatever croakers may say to the contrary. Sparta Tshmaelitc : We venture to sug gest to those whose corn crops have been cut short by the drouth, to go in for a heavy crop of peas. It will not be too late for a week or two yet, to plant peas with almost a certainty of a good yield. The pea crop is an invaluable one in this sec tion. We would be glad to know that it would come into still greater prominence in the near future. Put in peas, gentlemen, and try to fill up the gaps made by the late drouth in the corn crop. Sparta Ishmaclitc : A little child of Mr. George Minton spit from bis mouth, after a severe spell of coughing, one day last week, a brass top off the handle of a para sol. It had been exactly three years and ten months since the child had. as was sup posed. swallowed it. During all this time the little fellow had been a constant but patient sufferer, as the brass top. which was something in the shape of a ring, was closely titted over the wind-pipe. The child is now perfectly relieved. Atlanta Constitution : If there is any serious desire on the part of the members of the General Assembly to abolish the Agricultural Department, they will discov er that they are making a mistake. The farmers are not to be blinded by the un reasoning opposition to this department I that has made itself manifest in the ! cgie lature. As an evidence of the feeling among the people, we inay refer to the ac t in of the citizens of Carroll county The I farmers of that section deem the question to he of so much importance, and they are i so unanimously in favor of continuing the Agricultural Bureau, that they assembled in mass meeting in Carrollton last Satur day and gave expression to their views, their action was based upon the fact set forth in the preamble to their resolutions that Hon. Enoch Phillips, one of their rep resentatives. has expressed himself in favor of the pending bill to abolish the Agricul tural Department. In these resolutions they not only instruct their representa tives. but require them to use their influ ence to defeat the bill. A few such meet ings as this on the part of the people would save much useless discussion. Oglethorpe Echo : Mr. Hill’s convicts, in passing through Lexington, halted and rested until the cool of the evening. They are chained two and two and marched afoot. He has twenty-three in his gang—4 white men and 19 negroes. They all look well fed and contented. During their stay here Mr. Hill bought them a drink apiece and had a good dinner prepared. The time of two of these convicts had expired, hut they liked the place so well that they re-liire<l to the lessee for standing wages. Any one to see Mr. Hill’s squad would at once banish from his mind nil that sickly sentiment engendered by those would-be philanthropists. They marched through town singing at the top of their voice and carrying on their shoulders a strny negro that had unthoughtedly come within reach. Oglethorpe Echo : The protracted drouth still continues with no visible signs of rain. Vegetation is parched, upland corn ruined past redemption, gardens burned toacri-p, cotton stunted and rapidly failing, and the whole county seems tottering on the rag ged edge of starvation. Rains from now on would save lowground and late corn, and a small cron of cotton would be made, but thoughts or even an average crop are banished. Nearly cverv evening threat ening clouds appear, hut an east wind comes up and they are scattered. This was exactly the case in 184A. W e lirmly believe a total failure of our crops is highly propable. and the sooner our farmers ac cept the situation and prepare to meet it the better. There is no danger of a famine with our railroad communication, hut it will throw our planters dreadfully behind. Toccoa Herald : It is rumored that J. J. Turnbull, of Banks, speaks of moving to Toccoa. That is why he said Toccoa was “ dead, damned and delivered.” We have no doubt hut what it would eventual ly get to that point if lie were permitted to run the affairs of the town. Toccoa would welcome the advent of no one who speaks of her in this manner. But when the town that Jim hails from is taken into consider ation. it is not any wonder that he should he jealous of Toccoa’s future prosperity. Bah ! Y'ou are powerless to benefit or in jure our city by anything you could say, so blaze away. The Waynesboro Herald gives the par ticulars of a remarkable shooting affair One tiny last week two children, about 8 years of age, boy and girl, became involv ed in a quarrel, on one of Judge Corker s places, when the girl whipped the boy. The latter not satisfied with the turn af fairs had taken, repaired to a closet in the room where a pistol was kept, and taking the weapon, fired upon the girl, the ball taking effect in her left eve. producing death in about two hours. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter; but on account of the youthfulness of the party no arrest was made. Letter from Cobb. Roswell, Cobh County. Ga., \ July 6th, 1879. / Messrs. Editors : The good people of Roswell and vicinity bad a rousing big time on the 4th instant. Ilad a Sunday school and Good Templar's picnic. We had good music, good speaking, and good grub, and these are things that everybody likes, especially the grub. When we got to the grounds there was already assem bled a large crowd. The young ladies and gentlemen gave us some good songs which made us all feel happy. Then Col. S. VV. Smalls, of the Atlanta Constitution, gave us a speech on Sunday-schools and Tem perance Reform. Col. Smalls is a young man of talent and a fine talker. He made a speech of some two hours' length, and if he had talked three hours, everybody would have thought the time short. His speech was replete with sound logic, and if the Colonel lives, he will one day stand high on the ladder of fame. Wo all said in our hearts. •* Long live the Colonel.” Wc quit the feast of the soul to refresh the physical man on the good things the noble people of Roswell bad prepared for us. Here we all did our duty. After din ner, we reassembled at the stand, and had more music and more speaking from the best talent of the conntry. Your humble correspondent (Old Man) was called on to close the exercise by making a temperance speech, and we could have made a fine speech had we only known how. We did the best we could, and everybody went home happy, saying in their souls. ••We are glad wo were at the Roswell picnic.” Old Man. P. S.—Wc got home on the night of the 3d inst., from a flying trip through Chero kee and Spaulding counties. The crop pros, pect in these counties is very fine. We were pleased to see a large portion of the land planted in corn, and it is lookingyery fine. We saw some fine patches of millet. This is as it should be—farmers making their supplies at home. The crops in this (Cobb) and Milton county are very good. We had a fine rain one week ago to-day. A Word fo the Farmers of Hart County. Brother Farmers : As wc are nearly done with our crops and the prospect is gloomy for food for man and beast, I would suggest the propriety of each farmer spend ing one weok in preparing shelters for his cattle, if lie has none ; for several reasons, viz : Ist. One-half the food usually fed to cows without shelter will keep them in butter order when sheltered. 2d. I think humanity demands that wo should shelter the cow when we expect her to feed our babes. Is it not cruel to see (be poor cow in cold and sleety weatlier with her back humped up like a spur of the Rocky Moun tains) 1 Surely it is. I often think she ought to say to us, ” Why hast thou treat ed me thus ?” Reason, then. When the cow is tvell cared for she gives more milk and decidedly better quantity. There is nothing you can spend a few days to better advantage at than preparing to protect the dumb brute from the cold winter blasts, as the winters are getting more severe every year. More anon.
