Tbe court house at Dawson was discovered to be on Are last Tues day night, but the flames were ex. tinqulslied before much damage was done. A dispatch from Washington says the House committee on pub lic buildings have agreed to report favorably upon a bill providing fur a public building at Macon, to eost $100,000. At the meeting of lire State Ag ricultural Society, in Augusta Tuesday, there were 250 delegates in attendance.

(1 u i tea it lias provided himself with u new outfit of clothes out of tho proceeds of the sides of his autographs, and is very proud of hits improved appearance. When ask ed what he wanted to get new clothes for lie said that lie did not ox|>ect to remain in jail very long alter tho Court hi Hnnc, and want ed to make a good appearance when lie wept out nmong his friends. In April last the legislature of Tennessee passed an act funding tho state debt at par and three |>cr cent interest, instead of six |icr cent. It was alter the manner of a new forced ioan. On Saturday the suprcuie court of the State decid ed the act uiiconstitutioiia!. If thia be the law of the laud, how about tho grand repudiation schemes of Virginia, which are be ing fostered and advocated by Ma- ^ ' one and the republicans 1 When Texas was annexed it re served tbe right, by the annexation treaty, to dispose of its own terri tory, and hence it can be divided without the consent of Congress. In all soctional contests before Congress it would be clearly to the tlie Liberals and Independents ! idenee i l Perry, Houston county, against tbe Democratic poyty of the ! on Tuesday, the -Itli inst. He was South is that it is “organized.” a son of Josiali Warren, a soldier They could as consistently cry out against the different churches of the country, tho benevolent socie ties, and even the government, for all are organized. There can be na success in any undertaking without organization, and the idea of attempting to secure the pro mulgation and adoption of any piinciplcs or doctriucs without or ganization is sheer folly. Wherev er there may lie found any num ber of men with similar views, who wish to see those views represented in church or state, there will be found organization. The church es have their conventions, confer ences and synods, and parties have their primury caucuses and con ventions. Armies are organized from squads to regiments and di visions, and the better they are or ganized the more Hiicuessful will tliev lie. It is no reproach to the Democracy of the South that they ure organized, and it would lie bet ter if Democrats all over the coun try were better organized. It lias been lack of organization on llicir part and the bust ol discipline on the part of their opponents tlmt bus caused their defeat. So lung ns there is a constitutional form of government in tins country so long will there lie organized parties, and pne of those parlies will be the Democratic. Corn vs. Colton, A writer in the Soitlhern Farm er'* Monthly, says: “In my vicin ity the planters arc paying one dolinr for corn on credit, payable out of the next year's crop. If cotton should sell for 7 cents net, it will require 14 2-7 pounds of cotton to pay lor one bushel of corn. If a man can exchange his 2,000 bushels of corn for cotton at these figures lie will get 14,570 pounds of cotton for his crop of corn, or about SO bales of cotton up north to pay for the corn one man can make. Is there any wonder tlmt we are as poor as a chinch mouse '! And Hill Arp is about right, wlien lie says: “I am afccrcd wo arc a nation of fools.” There lias long been an impression up north, and even in the south, that wc cannot raise stock to profit; tliut wo have no grass; can’t teed stock; tlmt the flics arc too had; tlmt we have too many diseases; while the fact is, we have more and better grass than the north has. Wo can raise hogs, cattle, sheep, mules and horses for one-ball' the eost that it requires tip north. And to fatten the stock for market it can be done with pens even on tho poor land of Georgia for less money than it can be done in the north; and, while we are raising stock, Vvc are improving our lands instead of wctiring them out. 1 am well aware tlmt there is a strange faeisimtioii in planting cot ton. We see in the spring tlmt $10 a hale, mid ten hales to the hand, lint from cause we can’t sec the expense attending the making ol the crop. What Wc are Alter. We now know wlmt the revenue tariff lenders are after. They want h'nglisli and all other countries to bring lots of goods into this coun try for sale, with large revenue du ties on them so as to make the peo ple ull pay a heavy tax to England. The Amcriciis it EcouiiKii shows tlmt by (lie figures to which it calls the Clipjier'* attention. This also accounts lor the desire lor a Imsty payment of the national debt.— Haurt'idon Clipper. The Clip/ter is mistaken. So tal as the ItivimiiKit is concerned it wants only to see people relieved rrom paying a heavy tax to any one. We do not desire to see “Eng land and all other countries bring lots of goods into this country for sale”—we desire only to see the ta riff tax placed at such a figure that of the revolutionary war, and was bom in Burke county, in- this State, February 27, 1802, and lack ed but a few days of completing his eightieth year. Ho was a brother of Hon. Lott Warren and lirother-iu-law of Hon. Peter E. Love (both members of Congress), having married Mis3 .Jane Love fifty-seven years ago, who survives him. For sixty years lie was one of the leading lawyers of the State, having an ex tensive and lucrative practice, and for many years represented Lau rens county in both brandies of the General Assembly. During the. Confederate si niggle, Ihotigl over 03 years of age, lie shoulder ed n musket in the defence of his Stale. Ilis last public service was ns a member of tbe Constitutional Convention of 1877, in which he took a deep interest. Gen. War ren for fifty years was a member of tbe Baptist church and was a man of exemplary habits, and not only has the denomination of which lie was a consistent member sus tained d great loss, b -t so liavc the Christain churches in general, since he was one who was always ready to assist in doing good. His death was sudden and unexpected but was without pain. Tlie following from, a late issue of tlie Sparta Ishmaciitc, part of an editorial referring to a kind let ter wliieli tlie editors Imd just re ceived from Gen. Warren, says: “General Warren is one o( tlie last of the generation of grent and patriotic Georgians who, decades ago, laid deep and imperishable the foundations of Georgia’s pres ent honor and glory. Crawford, Berrien, Dawson, Coiib, Johnson and Warner bat e completed tiicir records and gone to their rewards. Past four score years of age, un touched by temptation to wrong, unsullied by even tlie shadow ot slmme—true, pure, earnest, faithful —a Georgian of Georgians, a patri ot. of patriots, the noble old Gener al still stands in the forefront of battle for Georgia’s honor, ami bides liis summons.. Well may tlie snn of bis life linger in its docent. Long bn it ere tlie stars shall shine sipon bis honored grave! A life of devotion to duty aid of unsel fish sacrifice for the go id of others, a life of unbetrayed trusts, o( hardships bravely met, of honors fairly won ami modesty worn—a life iike this cannot last too long." Tlie St. Louis Po*l-1’Hapalvh is showing up rottenness that some liow or other ivlwuys sets in wlien property is put into tlie hand of a receiver. Tlie Columbus Lite In surance Company is the latest ex posure. In live years tbe receiver lias collected the-sum of $181,000 and expended for lawyers’ fees, re ferees' fees, office, clerk hire and stationery tlie siun of $175,970. Not a penny of tjie money collect ed lias ever been paid over to tlie policy holders, for v. liose benefit this insurance company is being wound up. Of a million and a half property put into tlie hands of the receiver the creditors will never get one cent. It will go to the fellows appointed by the court to protect the creditors. This js making jus tice a sham, and similar practices bring our courts into disrepute. There is no excuse for saying that tlie judges cannot control it. They can at least protect creditors iroin extortion nml wrong. Tlie bill to allow farmers to sell leaf tobacco tree from barbarous restrictions now im|iosni by the internal revenue laws was before I the sub-commit tee of the Ways and Means recently and was strongly advocated by Congressmen Buck ner and Hatch, of -Missouri. It will be profitable to observe wlictli- er or not tbe Republican majority in Congress will refuse to grant this needed relief to the farmers. ft Best Tig Yet. Insurance Extraordinary.
