Wareknerons sold in Fort Ginines last week at one dollar « mm, e e s T Bhe Governor's Message. The Governor’s message to {he legislature is an exhzastive docn ment, and space will not admit of Lour giving it in full. The follow [ ing synopsis,. from the Savannah News, covers all of the important parts: The financial condition of the Statejic certainly. excellent. The high credit which it now enjoys is, to a very considerable extent, due to the admirable way in which State cfficers have discharged their duties. The workjon the State capitol is being pushed forward vigorous ly. and there does not ‘seem to be any reason for doubting that the building will be completed within the time and for :he sum mention. ed in the act authorizing its con struction. The building was not begun as soon as was contempla ted, and, hence, some legislation relative to the payments of the contractors, if it 1s to be finished in the time stipulated,is necessary. There are now 1,527 couvicts, and the principal keeper ex presses the opinion that the max imum has been reached. 1t is pincerely to be boped that his opinionis well founded. There is great dissatisfaction with the present convict system, and this legizlature will doubtless consider the advisability of trying to ins improve it. The problem of the proper disposition of conviets is = very difficult one,and the satisfac tory solution of it will hardly be reachied without experiments. The people are sufliciently bur dened by getting the conviets in the penitentiery, and are not wil ling to support them in compsra tive idleness, The Governcr calls altention to the fact that there is a fallinz off in the receipts from fees for analyzing fertilizers, and suggests that perhaps the farmers are be ginning to utilize the materials for fertilizing prrposes which are to be found upon the farms. If the suggestion is correct the farm ers are making prograss in the right direction. They have never fully understood the importance of making the most of home ma tarials for enriching their lande. ‘The school fund of the State appears to be well handled and to be made to produce the best pos .sible results. Last year the the State school fund amounted to §500,325.08, and towns and counties raised by spe cial taxes $209,328.08 more. The entire amount, theraf re, that was available for school purposes wes §715,791.57. The State Sehool Commissioner thinks that the legislature would act wisely by levying a tax of one-tenth of one per.cent for school purposes. This would bring to the school fund 8306,489, and would permit the schools to be kept open four months each ycar. The Commis sioner also thinks that grand ju ries should be clothed with the power of levyirg taxes tor schoo) purpoges in counties whera pco ple fuvor such taxes. The Gover nor may approve of the views of the Commissioner, but he does not commit himself to them. The Governor has & good word to say for the military orgenizations. He evidently believes that the State ought to lend them a helping hand, and he is not alone in (hat belief. The different State institutions ap pear to be i 1 a rcasonably satisfactory condition. The luna tic asylam is rather crowded, a'd the Legislature would do well to eonsider the advisability of enlar ging its accommedations. The Governor says, very traly,that one of the ehief ressons wLy the State is in o pro-perous condition and its people eatisfied, is that its af fairs are hon=<tly and iutelligent ly adininistered. THr resalt of the late elections was a surprise to the democrats. Members of the 50th Congress were elected thronghout the United States, and the democrats, while they will still eontrol the lower Louse, have ounly a slight margin of about five, They had 45 mujority in the last house. In Tennessee, Robert Taylor, demo crat, has defeaved his brother, Alf Taylor, republican by some 20,000 votes. We see it etated that Albany and Awmericus have complaived to the railroad commission of the transportation facilities, They olaim that the roads do not far nish enough cars to haul away the cotton. The Dawson buyers have heen complaining übout the gottou not beivg removed, Sheliman Siftings. , The Raiftbow party at the resi dence of Mr. Sid Goode last Fii day night wags the most enjoyable entertainment of the season. The young ladies wore aprons to be hemmed by the boys, the sev eral colors of the rainbow, and furnished each boy an apron to ‘hem. The gentleman doing the ‘picest work was to receive a beau tiful white satin necktie, which was given by the young ladies. The sewing commenced at eight o’clock, and a more awkward and amusing crowd of boys we never Baw. Thaeckiry never drew a more comical picture than this, and Orian never toiled harder to leave the scorpion than did these boys to win that tie. After the sewing the aprons were all put in a pile, 8o that one could not be distinguished from the other, and given to the judges for a decision, which was a tough job, Where all were worse and none better., The | premium was awarded to A, S. Harris. After this the young } people erjoyed themselves with music, games and other mnzse-l ments, and the evening passed off as only Mr. Sid Goode, his esti- ‘ mable wife and daughter know how to make such things a com- 1 vlete success of the higheat enjoyiuent. | £lbert Flarris has at last pro cured a pair of pants long enough for his tong-like legs and he goes about looking at tuem half the time. It took something less then five yards, however, to get them long enough for these wire.like appendeges, and he says if he could just find a coat lean enough to his scrawny frame he would be happy. Cotton receipts to date 4,260. THE great and good Telegrayph must bave been in a good humor with all mankind Saturday, judg ing from this little pieee of pleas antry: “The finest exhibit on the fair grounds this week, and that in which miost interest is taken. is Georgia’s splendid contribution of girls. The entries in this depart ment run away up into the thon sands,and the mangers wisely offer no premiums,for who could decide insuch a conte t? Or who, und r the battery of such eyes and with mythology in mind, would dure? But undoubtedly all deserve a prize; and, in behalf of the younz men of Georgia, the splendid fu:- mers, brilliant professionals, }the industrious clerks and strong armed mechanics—all Kuights of Labor and_ gallant gentlemen- - the Telegra.ph annouuces that ev ery girl is at liberty to pick a hus band and set up housekeeping.
