Tim OH lessees have paid into the State treasu nearly 84,000,000 of rental in ry $25,000 since the monthly payrncuts of road was leased. The lease of the State road has undergone legislative mvestiga tlon enough, and the tegisUmre ......Id do well to put an end to it. Tna road ia yielding a handsome income to the Mate and no further action should he taken to discontinue the leaae. Hon. Thomas E. Watsox, of Me Duffle,hasintroduceda bill in the Leg islatnre to tax dogs and the money tfi us raised to 1 k> appropriated for edu catiorial puriKises. This question has been before that body during previous wwsioos, but It lias never received that consideration it should receive. The country is full of these animals wine 1 e to a large extent nothing but al imposed dog* sances If a tax lie upon it would doubt!'-88 rid the country of allthe worthless curs which roam at large ^ People who own valuable dogs can very well afford to pay tax on them No sensible man will complain. of having to pay tax ou property that be considers valuable,and property not worth paying tax on is not wort h hav lug- Let the General Assembly pass a law taxing dogs and tlie wool growing industry of the State will increase, and the ciy of hydrophobia will no longer be heard. Since the General Assembly COD Vf*!» •d a large number of bills has lioeii in troduced, and many important mat¬ ters put before tho hotly. I he joint committee on redistricting the ."tale has had several interesting meetings, but have not settled down upon any permanent Jplan. This is perhaps the most important duty devolving upon the legislature and one that should ad dress itself to the sound judgment and discretion of every member of t he Gen eral Assembly. They should not lw m iuenced by personal considerations, is running the lines so as to add another district, but 3 should look solely to _he best h^rrosts of the 'date ami pen .As. No iuttueuces that may be • the members of brought to l-ear upon the legislaturajby men who are aspiring f„ r Congressional honors should have any weight with them. But they etiould discharge this im|*orLu»t duty without fear, favor or affection. It is proposed that the question of having a Stock Law shall again l»e presented to the people of this county. It is a question of the most vital inter est. Tliat we should have some charge of our feucc laws can hardly l-o called iu question. Our present statutes in regard to enclosures were enacted when our circumstances were wholly different from those which m-w »ur round us. Though it had been wise iu our fathers to fence crops rather than atock which projK-sition wo liowovi-* challenge -this does not approve t he wisdom of such a plan when our labor system has undergone a complete change. Lmid-liolders have not now the absolute control of rail-splitting Biusclea winch they had a quarter of a century ago. Fence making tin.l-ei too is becoming quite an item in many localities. But the arguments in favor of a Stock l^aw we propose to set forth in another number. In the roeanwhite, our columns are oiwn to any one who may have anything to say on the other side. We should like to have the sub- ; ject thoroughly discussed, We know that men have voted against this pro pos.il once and again. THH GOVERNORS MESSAGE. 1 Governor McDaniel's Message to t n Q-neial Assemiily of the 5th met., w as a very able document, being full ol m formation of the condition of things iwrtaining to the State, and contain Big many suggest ions for the govern went of the commonwealth, 1'heUov •rnor in bis uwosage calls the attention of tile legislature to the fact that the Treasuvy Iteparttnent of tho l nited tilutes ImsdeeUtMsl to pay the sum of $35,555.42, sppnqwiated by Congress iu the act, wpinamd .March 3rd, 188;{, to refuud to the State of Georgia ecr tain money expended l*f the State for the common defense in 1777 He doee ■otJapiHOVe of thedeciakvn of the first Comptroller w v of tbe Treasury that this aball ... be credited ... on amount , of , sum WDM what is »cjauuru claimed to be due » * for thequota Of direct taxes, apportioned to tlie State by tbe direct tax act of 5th. 1801. He thinks the decision is erroneous and lias notified the Seereta ry of the Treasury tliat the State does not acquiesce in it. He also refers to the act of Octolier I61I1, 1879, which provides .hat Hie Goveinor shall twine and appoint a solvent, chartered bank. of good standing and credit, which Shall Ik; known and designated as State **-*«*. «- clt*. of ,a. . , ... , • • y, Gainesville, llawkmsville, Griffin and LuGranee h ' As the Citizens’ Bank of ■ Georgia . which . located Atlanta was m and the bank of Rome have ceased to . . . i | uo business, and the bank ol ' * i dim ue clined to receive further deposits of public money, ami as no previsions are made in the net for the subsequent up pointmer.ts of the same banks, or other hanks, lie thinks the act should either lie repealed or so amended as to con-. f *1111 to the conditions that will soon exist, He also alludes to the grave question that. Ims arisen in regard l - the taxa ti.m of personal property, of railroads located partly within this State and partly in another State, lie invites the attention of the General Assembly to the subject of taxation generally and to many other important matters cuiiieniin? the common wealth. IN'FL t ENUH OF THU V HU HUH It is not known how far Christianity conserved the treasures of the yet It is well known that the mann scripts of classical egos and the tradi tions of the Roman empire were hand ed down by the church. Universities which gave wisdom to rulers and laws U» social life were fust established and encouraged by the church, Christian. ly gives stimulus to thought, and pro duces that moral tone winch fits the soul to appreciate whatever is most trulyRio.it or glorious. It alone tri¬ umphs over human infirmities and af¬ fords shelter against, the storms of hie. wherever Christianity has keen intro¬ duced, its transcendaul power amt beauty has lieen deeply felt. The laws of human depravity aie such that all nations in which Christianity does not. flourish after reaching a ceitan level decline and fal 1 , as did Greece, Asia Minor ami the Roman cnqiire. There is a sentiment, in tlm human bread that piompts man l<> tin homage even though it he to a wooden image, here • the pagan worships the idol because lm knows , nothing ., 01 the true . ami , living , God. In all heathen lands where the Bible is introduced am. Us doctrines promulgated, the peo -le are lapuily becoming noblu clmstians. and those who a-e i-iiingonistic to lehvislirtillty may argue I fiat it does not hem tit man in this life. Thev nmv • argue that the good and the evil, the just and the unjust sutfer alike mi this earth. He this as it may— it ennnot fie denied hut that e.liristianity affunls the only comfort here. The laws of nature may have no tears to shed and 110 in¬ dulgence to grant. They may h ire ho deter...im*U that the righteous and the unrighttsMis must drink alike the ter cnp. Let it he remembered that the Bible teaches that the iniquities of the fathers are visited upon the chil¬ dren even to the third and fourth gen¬ eration. and that men are not horn for undisturbed happjuess on earth, blit fora preparation for Heaven. Let. lioivinenihered that tribulations often e.mie as blessings in disguise. tiimity stimulates the higher faeullies of the mind and soul, and prompts the culture of hwnd.4l.ip. love and s -eial happiness It gives '' radnu.ee t-hour •? ’ peace to families and glorious hopes to all who embrace it. Tlie great elemen | tal truths which the Bible confirms, and the great ideas which it unfolds should he carefully and diligently stml ied, for they give new direction to hu "1111 H,ought and life. Hence we "ould mlvise parents to send their •nl-bei. to Sunday school. In youth toe great truths taught in the Bible -’an be more easily impressed upon the hearts and minds than in any other of tlit* human life. Men who are not Christians sometimes make great attainments in certain channels and yet their lives are failures morally speaking, and are not worthy of em 1 lation. The tact that Christianity nr-ved a feeble barrier against the de geiieruey of the Roman empire is used i» v some as an argument against its in¬ fluencc and power. There are many reasons why Christ ianity failed to arrest the degeneracy of the Roman empire, The ehristians were few and belong-vl to the humble classes. According to Gibbon only one fifth of the whole l*op ulatiou of the empire lie bulged to the church. > cry few if any of the philos ophera, statesmen, nobles, generals, governors or magistrates of the empire l-elonged to church. Notwithstanding all tins. Christianity laid the found.i tion for a new and ni«iv "l-rious eivi.i ration, and its influence g -w< li. iglit ' er and brighter with the pi..g.> vs „f -pi, t, , . ld tmin f s ,n ‘ 1,1 ' church will oat 1. to e xert a i-ower f u M„flu*nve u at.; bmc fi d „o more SOUTHERN BRANCH I Mil burn Wagon Co % HEFEY L ATWATER, Manager.
