Ik Barnum could rent Bob Toombs for a couple of years, and exhibit him through the Northern, Eastern and Western States, lie could make more money on him than he did on his stuffed mermaid that he manu factured to order some thirty years ago. “ Walk right along in. gentlemen and 1- •dies, and see the only real Bob Toombs •now on exhibition—fiery and untamed— •caught in the wilds of the South—only 25 cents admission—don’t get too near the cage, little boys, he might growl at you ! M Wb say without fear of contradiction, or of being accused of fulsome praise, that the Atlanta Constitution is the most prunt inent paper in the South. It gives all the news, political nnd otherwise, necessary to be known, of the world. It is an honor to the State and to journalism. Its circula tion in this section is rapidly increasing, and will soon be universal. It is a neces sity to every man who desires to keep apace with the times. For terms, Ac., see .advertisement. AVe have received a copy of the Report of the Trustees and Ollicers of the State Lunatic Asylum for the year ending Sep tember 30, 1875*.

The Asylum has a bal ance in ihe State Treasury exclusive of tthis year's appropriation of $35,000. This e* a good showing, and speaks well for the management and economy of the managers r ttic Asylum. Kruinrknble Advice from a Radical Paper. Savannah Xetvt. The Tallahassee Patriot is one of the few outspoken Radical papers published in the •South. Inasmuch, however, as it is recog mized in Florida ns the property of, and •controlled hy, ex-Scnator Conover, its Rc •publican proclivities cannot possibly be questioned. It was, therefore, with much surprise that about a week ago we read in it a leading editorial article, in which, no sier the heading, *• A Solid South,” it took the ground boldly that if the Northern lie publicans really desire to break up the Democratic solidity of the South, they must cense to villify this section. “If." says the Patriot, ••our Republican friends of the North really desire to assist us in breaking down the solid phalanx of the Democratic South, let them shut down at once, on the Southern slander •mills that are engaged in manufacturing at least fifty Southern outrages to each one that is committed. Let them turn a deaf ear to the dismal howls of disconsolate bloody shirt shriekers who attempt to dis guise their real character by crying ’ stop thief.* ” And further, says the Patriot in the same article: ••Those blatant demagogues who pre tend to represent the Republican senti- or the North, by slandering, tnis- and vill Tying the Southern ■pt-Fple. have done more to defeat the cause they claimed to defend, and to solidify the &he Democratic party South than all the ihowie Knife and shot-gun intimidations their distorted imaginations could possibly conjure up.” This is certainly remnrkablp language coming from an avowedly Republican newspaper published in a Southern State. It does more to stamp with falsehood the slanders and libels upon tire South, day after day uttered by Northern malignants. than could volumes of sworn testimony of fered to prove that our section was habitu ally maligned and villitied by her enemies. It gives the lie direct to our Northern de fainers. ami confesses that thn course of the Radical party towards us has been most nnjust and infanions. Such utterances, proceeding from a paper owned by S. B Conover, must have weight with the North ern masses, if by any means they could be brought to their attention. In a word, it is a cuviction of UsdicslUn out of its ow n month. a Jpg Cuzco Corn. A consignment of 1.500 pounds of this corn, which is produced in the province of Cuzco, in Peru, about 400 milea inland from Lima, waa recently received in San Francisco, and is described at follows : *• The Cuzco corn i.; as large as a butter bean, bas a thin w hite skin and is all Hour or meal. It is as w onderful in quality as jt is in size, resembling a well baked crack er. ami being two or three limes larger than our large yellow variety. When sim ply boiled, the grain breaks into the finest, largest and whitest hominy ever seen, and this without grinding or crushing. It is said by corn experts to be admirably adapted for the manufacture of whisky, and also ofstarch. and very valuable in its green state for fodder. It will also form, as green corn, anew vegetable for the table. The weight of Cuzco com is 43 to 44 lbs to the bushel.” The consignment is to be sold for seed at $1 per pound. , A W arid of t-oo<l. One of the most popular medicines now before the American public, is Hon Bit ters. You sec it everywhere. People take it with good effect. It builds them up.

Sun : The largest ox in the world and the largest hog. were on ex hibition at the Joplin Fair. The ox weighs 3,250 and the hog 1,350. Athens Banner: Wc know a young man who dresses with such elegant plain ness that the only jewelry he wears is the gold filling in one of his back teeth. The demand for farm hands in Gwinnett county is greater this fall than the Lnw rencevillc Herald ever knew. The people have made more than they can gather. An engine exploded on the 18th inst. at Donnldsville on the Greenville and Colum bia Railroad, killing the engineer, the tire man and another young man outright, and scalding two others it is thought fatally. Sparta Fslunaelite: Mr. Stephens is re ported as having said, in reference to the nomination of Grant by the South, that ** we might go further and fare worse.” This is true enough, but wc would have to go to the Devil to do it. The Clement attachment and the failure of the meteoric shower nre the principal subjects of topic among our country ex changes this week.— Augusta News. This is heavy on the Constitution. Augusta Chronicle : The Washington Star thinks Messrs. Stephens and Speer will join Dr. Felton in refusing to act and vote with the Democrats in Congress, and that the party will lose control of the Mouse of Representatives. We do not be lieve it. Jonesboro News: “We are informed that some fellow in Fayette county had a fresh field in cotton which was heavily fruited, hut it would not open ; he plow ed up the cotton stalks before the freeze, ami it all opened, and he made a bully crop, l ake a note of this and do likswise next year.” The Dahlonega Signal says that Mr. Clark Bryant, living in Cane Creek dis trict. cut open a ripe pumpkin a few days ago which grew’ on his place, and found that some of the seed had sprouted and the vine had formed, upon which leaves were growing. A few’ day's afterward Mr. B. was douhl v surprised upon opening a sec ond pumpkin, that nature had worked the same freak. Constitution : We arc a very queer peo ple. Those who took Horace Greeley as easily as they would a sugar-coated pill are now abusing everybody who announces for Grant. The plan is to let this Grant mat ter settle itself and vote the straight demo cratic ticket. Admit that rock candv and corn whisky are good for a cold and then call for three fingers of rye, with a little peppermint. Augusta Chronicle : A ballot-box has been invented and patented which mechan ically registers and numbers each ballot as it is deposited. It also rings a bell when a ticket is received. Those who have care fully inspected it are agreed that repeating and stuffing is impossible without being detected. Only with the greatest difficulty can a fraud he successfully practiced where this box is in use. If an election is con tested it enables every ballot to be unmis takably identified. Anderson Intelligencer: Mr. G. M. Hunt, who resides near Honca Path in this county, wounded and captured on Wednes day. the sth Instant, a bald eagle that measured seven feet and two inches from tip to tip, weighs about thirty-five pounds and has talons from two and a half to three inches long. The bird is still alive, and Mr. Hunt promised to bring it up to An derson the first opportunity and place it on exhibition freu of charge. ’ Large numbers of citizens in the community are going daily to uaa it. Baltimore Gazette : It is difficult to un derstand why there should he a growl of discontent from the South about the polit ical uncertainties of the future. The whine that the people sre disgusted with politics snd are inclined to seek peace and protection under Grant is shameful and pitiful. The people of the South have nothing to complain of. They have their own State and local governments. No body is opposing them. The crops sre just ss bountiful ss they would be if a Democrat of the staunchest school occu pied the White House instead of a hypo crite and fraud. The mass of the people of the South can never be affected by a change of administration. This talk about Grant comes from a lot of hungry and un principled politicians who sigh because they can’t break into the juicy federal of fices. The Southern Democrat who talks about attaching himself to Grant is a man who expects favors and who would sell his country ami his people for a chance to fat ten on public office without labor. We have no patience with such frauds. If the Sou'hern politicians will behave themselves the Democratic party will elect the next I’resident. If the party (alls it will be mainly because of the indiscreet, hungry and dissatisfied office-seekers of that sec tion. .Savannah News: We trust that all those honest Democrats of Georgia who have, in the past, like the Enquirer-Sun, been deluded into wandering away from the true fold to run after independent false gods will see the error of their way equally as plainly as does that journal. They may now realize exactly what indenendent ism means : that it merely means being in dependent of all principle, and with an eye single to personal aggrandizement and nothing else, and that its course leads di rectly into the embraces of Radicalism. We trust also that like the Enquirer, vhey will deliberate hereafter to recognize the Democratic principle that the majority rules, that organization is necessary to success, and that the decree of the major ity. uttered in convention, should be bind ing upon the party. They here seen Boss Kelly, one model independent candidate, so called, deliberately hand the great state of New York over to the Radicals, and they may see the great danger of the same thing being done in Georgia by Boss Fel ton. D. I).. and those of his ilk. If their disorganizing counsels are followed, and they are accorded popular support and en couragement. Nashville American : One reads Boh Toombs’ “Death to the Union” with much the feeling of the Irishman for the red-headed wood-pecker, which had ham mered his head against a tree until it seem ed all bloody-red with gore. It don’t hurt anybody else, and if it amuses him. all right. There is one reflection, however, which might induce even Mr. Toombs to be quiet—nay. there are two. One is that he can never astonish anybody again, and the other that it does not require the slight est courage for one man to strike a heroic attitude and defy a crowd. The crowd can always allord a good natnred laugh at one man who has w orked himself nn into a lteroic passion. If there were more of Mr. Toombs there might he danger enough of serious results o make it require some courage to get into a passion. As it is, it is a cyclone in a tea-spoon. Charleston News and Courier. 20th inst.: This fall of snow is the first that has visit ed Charleston in ten years. In December 1.8(59 there was a slight snow storm, but the weather being warm at the time the Hakes melted as soon ns they touched the ground. In 186 ) there was a fall of snow which appeared upon the house tops early in the morning, but melted away before the rays of the sun. There is a tradition that at some time in the past century Charleston was visited by a heavy snow storm and that sleighing was enjoyed in the streets. The date of this occurrence is left in doubt and we can find no official record of it. Buena Vista Argus : “ Last week we passed several cotton fields in Schley coun ty on which two crops—one of wheat and one of cotton—have been raised this year. We learned from some who had been ex perimenting with small grain and cotton crops on their farms for two or three years that they had been very much encouraged to continue the practice. On one piece of land often acres ninety-nine and one-fourth bushels of wheat were gathered, and a fraction over three bales of cotton, weigh ing five hundred pounds each, hnvc been gathered up to this time off of it.” Augusta Chronicle : Lawyers can hold their heads up now when they walk the streets. In charging the jury the other day. in a case where an attorney was su ing a client for a fee. Judge McCue. of the City Court of Brooklyn, stated that in point of honor and integrity, lawyers will compare very favorably with any other class in the community. Members’ of the Mar throughout the country will doubtless feel very much braced up by this decision. In the South many of them go in good so ciety. and arc looked upon as very decent people. Cartersville Kxpress : “ Bob ” Toombs is well known in Georgia. He has lots of money, therefore, many friends. He lias a great brain but it has been prostituted by liquor. He should have added to his mes sage “death to the Union.” “I'm drunk ” as usual; or he might have worded the message more briefly, “ Here's to your health General Grant; sober. I'm your friend. You and I fought • the second rev olution.' ns Hill Arp styles it. You whip ped and T'll pretend to he mad. just to see the effect of it. Alex. Stephens will tell you I'm joking.” Corn is cheaper in lowa this fall than in any other place on the globe, selling at 18 and 20 cents at the depots, and 10 and 15 cents at places distant from the railroads.
