J Tbe Mtdi»oni*n remarks that it

well. Too bungling, perhaps.

Our Anderson vllle correspondent
talks sensibly about immigration,
It is time that Georgia took some
steps to secure an industrious olass
of immigrants to fill up ibe big
country we have.
f Fifteen senators employ their
sons as clerks at 96 a day. It is
thongbt that at least twenty more
senators will, under their resolu
tion to provide fhemtelves with
private secretaries at poblio ex-
pense, appoint tbelr sons. Several
will appoint their daughters, and
one senator, not having a son or
daughter, will, it is said, make bis
wills his private secretary.
The Eatonton Messenger gives
expression to tbe following correct
opinions: “The future of this State
depends largely upon the establish,
meat of home industries and manu-
fhetures, and a school of technology
would tend more to this end than
any other one thing. To-day the
best paying positions of tbe South
an beld by Northerners, whose me
chanical schools have fitted them
for their work. This is all wrong.
Give Southern boys a chance. Es
tablish a school ol technology."

We are informed that if a proper
effort ie made by tho peoplo of
. Americus the Buena Vista railroad
oan be secured to this oity. Tbe
effort ought to be made, and made
at once. Wo believe the people of
Americus will make a mistake that
they will regret if they allow this
opportunity to pass. The people
af Marion and Sohley counties are
determined to have railroad com
munication, and it Is, only a ques
tion of time when they will get It.
IT Americus stands aloof at thik
time it will ornate such a feeling
aaong the people of those counties'
that it will prevent them from trad

now they will not only bo bound to

thoso cotton* are harab and irregu

cotton of St. Kitts end other West
Indian islands Is much finer than
the Jirazilian, and i» useful for mix

la a general ertlele on the differ
ent Unde of cotton In the world,
the Boston Commercial Bulletin
states tbe highest priced articlo is
the sea island cotton grown princi
pally on the coasts of Ceorgie ami
Florida. It combines great length
of staple with silkincss, beautiful
glees,epd general excellence. Some
pats of Australia and islands is

ting seriously with Georgia in the

though the entire crop of see is
land cotton is comparatively unim

report of the engineer as per the
preliminary sutvev, tbe grading
from here to Andereonville will be
Eighteen Thousand Dollars, with
the belief that a reduction of 10
per cent in locating the road can
be made. The ooet from hero to

Schley and Marlon cannot build

The surveying party will com-

tisemeuta will be sent to several
papers, asking for bids to grade

here is jubilant over the prospccta,
which are indeed flattering.
FROM HMITUVILLE.
Smituville, Feb. 7.—Note great
deal of gnane has been received
here this season, as yet,so we here
been informed.
Mr. James M. Spann, Johnson
Bros, polite young salesman, baa
recovered from bis sickness.
Tbe free show given by the tight
rope performer was largely attend
ed yesterday afternoon. Tbe show
man drew a good boose lest night,
alto, chargings small admission
fee.
Mrs. Joesey, sister-in-law of Rev.
J. n. Cawood, and late of Raftn.
la, bos rented the Andrew Miller
place and will moke her home here.
Her two daughters, Mieses Lerene
Fits John Porter sat in tbe
gallery for more than eight ho-irs,
says the correspondent of the Bos
ton Advertiser, Saturday afternoon
and evening. At the close he re-
ccivcd the congratulation of scores
of friends that, after all these
years, the House of Represent a-
lives, by more than 100 major-
ity, had done all in its power to
make reparation for tbe injustice
toward him for years. It was a
proud moment for him. His eyes
glistened with old time lustre os
be looked over tbe balcony and
beard tbe verdict given. All day
long tbe parliamentary battle bad
raged. The spectators could almost
see the clash of armies and hear tbe
thunder of artillery, as they were
depicted by the hot debaters. Ma
rengo, Balaklava, Bannockburn
end all tbe greet battles of history
warn appealed to for Hi nitrations.
The handling of troops, tbe heed-
long charge, duel of artillery, tbe
surges of victory and defeat could
almost be felt as the veterans of the
war fonght thsir battles ever again,
charging again end again to restore
or to forther disgrace Porter. On
the Republican side the party
whip was cracked' to keep this one
man down. The Southerners were
taunted with being rebels, Grant
was belittled. Schofield nccuscd,
Porter hissed at, in hope of makiug
n little party capital at the expense
of this one old man. Bnt the line
of North and South, of Union
nnd Rebel soldiers, could not be
thus drawn. Federal soldiers plead
ed Porter’s cause, and Republicans
voted for his restoration. Among
Porter’s friend were 19 who had
fought in the Union army—3 gen
erals, 7 colonels, 3 captains, aud G
privates. Ofthe New England mom-
bers, 13 were for 'Porter and but 9
