Washington, January 8^—Gen. Bur-1
bridge hai furnished for publication a
statement in reply to the <-ha;yis made
against him by Representative Blackburn,
He begins by giving the latter's letter,]
which was telegraphed hence last night,
and follows it with the appended re-1
spouse:
Washington, January 0.—lion. J. Cl
C. Btaekburf—Bib : Your letter of the]
2.-;th ultimo, in reference to mine of tbe
zl-t, is received. In it you make the
poiDtthat the distinguished gentlemen
who approved my conduct most have
acted without a full knowledge of the
facts. Declining to assail tbe characters
of the men whose loyalty to their State
and country at the period of my adminis
tration in Kentucky is instrikingcontrast
to your own, yon assume that they have
not a full knowledge of the facts. The
deads which received the hearty approval
of all Union men, and which in a cor
responding ratio p.ovokcd the wrath of
the rebels in Kent icky in 1S04, were not
done in corners. They wire planned in
strict accordance with orders from!
Secretary Stanton and General Sherman!
and executed in tbe light of day.
The letters, copies of which will be publ
lished in connection with your let'-cr and]
this reply, werp written after my military
career bad closed—at tbe time when the
Democratic press of Kentucky was loud
est in denunciation of my official conduct.
They were written by men who were]
fully conversant with all the facts both
before and after they had been distorted
by rebel bate. It is to be regretted that]
in passing sentence upon me as the ofliccr
to whom orders for the suppression ol the
guerrillas was entrusted, you failed to in-
iclude in your denunciation the guerillas
I hemselves. Have you ever heard of Ber-
iy*a band, which murdered Kaifas onthel
Bardstown turnpike while hmwas protect
ing his wife from insalt, and tho neigh-
Ibore arose and punned th m until Hr.l
Roberts, the county surveyor, was killed?
Hundreds of such crimes werca committed
by guerilla bands who raided over the
State.
■You refer to mlsfi whose acts put them
[beyond tbe pale of civilized warfitre ini
the twilight of barbarism, or worse, in
the domain of actual crime.” Would it
haro been an act of this character to
hunt down that guerrilla hand and bang
every one of its members? If your dis
trict was dotted over with grave", it was
[for such acts as these. As I informed youl
in my previous letter, not a man was put
to death by my order without first liavittd
been tried and convicted by an orgauizei
UU^iiartiai. These acts which placa]
the perpetrators beyond the pale of civil
ized warfare in tbe twilight of barbarism,!
or worse, in the domain of actual crime,
were the very acts which it became ray
duty to punish. That I was too leuieut
atul allowed many to secure pardon upon
promise of future amendment, I admit.
That I was frequently censured for tnis is
true. At a time when the Kentucky Leg
islature had no power to command me, I
I appeared voluntarily before a committee
appointed by tbe Senate. All the charges
to which you now refer were fully investi
gated, and upon the advice of lion Asa C.
P. Grover, of tho Senate, the investigation]
was abandoned ly the lower house.
In conclusion, allow me suggest there
were nets attempted by adherents to your
cause (who like those to whose death you
so pathetically allude, never risked their
lives in battle) which not only pultheper-
perirators beyond tbe pale of civilization
in the twiliabt of barbarism, or worse, in
llte domain of actual crime, which so far
surpassed those above mentioned as to]
provoke an inquiry whether they were
not concerted by the Prince of Darkness
himself. I allude, sir, to the attempted in-
troduction of clothing iufected with yellow
fever in the Northern citizens during the
war. I do not know by whom this crime
against civilization was attempted, but
the proofs of the attempt are ample, and
while vexing your righteous soul about
the barbarous treatment of thieves and
cut-throats in Kentucky, it might be well
to allow eome portion of your indignation
to find bent against this diabolical at
tempt to murder innocent women and
Children. Respectfully,
S. G. Bubdbiogk.

Washington, Jan. 11-—'The cases of the
alleged straw bondsmen in :ho star route
cases were called up in the Police Court
lo-day. Counsel for all the accused and
some of the accused themselves were pres
ent. Special Attorney Bliss represented
the govemmant, and- in bis opening ad
dress said the accused parties had entered
into bonds in which the bidders had rep
resented tbe bondsmen and tbe bondsmen
had represented themselves as worth cer
tain sums in real estate. In fact tbe bonds
wero absolutely worthless, though in some
cases there might have been held tome
property by the bondsmen. Still there
was literally nothing to support tbe bonds.
Upon 13,101 bids bonds were given
amounting to over $3,000,000, and there
was not value enough represented by tbe
whole eight millions to buy a spavined
horse. Cabell, he sa:d, had acquired
county of it he would have to give securi-
‘yfor his breakfast. These lands had
been transferred to Donohue, one of tbe
defendants. Donohne transferred it to
Minnix and Dickson. Minnix, on tbe
strength of this went on bonds for Cabell in
the sum of over $2,000,000, in wbicti
bonds Dickson joined him. Dickson,
however, forgetting that he had bnt a half
Interest In the property, had, before going
upon these bonds, conveyed tbe whole of
it back to Donohne, so that, as a matter
of tact, when he went on the bonds, he
didn’t have tbe proper title. Donohue,
on the same property, had gone on bonds
subsequently for Cabell, Henderson,
Armstrong and Boone for large sums.
They would have Cabell’s unsworn
statement, and the evidence of some
of- the defendants, by which they
proposed to show that it was a plain
conspiracy under the forms of the law to
defraud tbe United States of valid securi
ty. Injustice to the Postmaster-General,
he would say that if such bonds were sub-'
mitted, the Postmaster-General had no
power to review them. In one ol these
cases they would present tho affidavit of
the defendant that he'had frequently
spent the evening in Boone’s office sign
ing his name to bonds and justifying on
property, be knew nothing about; that
for this service he would receive
$25 or $30, and that he had
gone on bonds tofetbe * amount of
$2,000,000. All of this had been done on
lands supposed to lie in Georgia. He
mentioned instances ot other defendants,
who justified on lands In Mississippi and
California, shown to be utterly worthless.
The cases of Cabell and Minnix and
Dickson were first taken up, and they
were arraigned. They pleaded not guil
ty and the examination of witnesses was
begun. Inspectors Tidball And Wood
ward were first placed ou the stand and
occupied the time to adjournment.

Charlottesville, Va., January 11.
—The Charlottesville Woolen Mills were
burned last night. Loss heavy, but un-
derstood to be covered by insurance with
in $8,000 of tbe actual loss.' The ma

Washington, January 11.—The rec
ord in tbe Flipper courtmartial case has
reached tho Judge Advocate General for
review. The fact of the record of the case
having been referred to the Judge Advo

recommended his dismissal from .tbe ser

is almost the universal impression in
army circles.

to see any one else until after he has
made his speech to the jury, buF lie de

and invaluable as food for cattle. In ex
changing meal Tor seed one ton of the for

on a farm In Connecticut that tbe meal is
the best fertilizer ever used on tobacco

in three years, and as a cattle food it u
sui-erior to any. Still another authority

The Capabilities cp Cotton Seed
Oil.—The extent of the manufacture of
“pure olive oil” from cotton seed is Indi
cated by export statistics from New Or
leans. Pf 0,000,000 gallous shipped thence
during 1S79-S0, SS per cent, was sent to
the Mediterranean and French ports, and
one-balf of this amount to Italy. The
New Orleans Times-Democrat says
“This Is more than the entire olive oil
production of France, and one-fifth that
of Italy. As the United Stales reimport
only one-tenth this amount of olive (?)
oil, it is evident that not only the people
of this eouutry, but the experienced epi
cures of Europe as well, make their salads
with the products of the cotton seed.
Some oil also goes Wes’, where it probably
figures S3 olive oil, without the interven
tion of a voyage across the Atlantic; but
at least two-thirds of tbe entire product
of the country (15,000,000 gallons) is ex
ported to Europe.”
An Iowa farmer put up twenty one-year-
old hogs for fattening, and for the first
twenty days fed them on shelled corn, of
which they ate eighty-three bushels. Du
ring this period they gained 337 pounds,
or upward of ten pounds to the bushel of
corn. He then fed the same hogs for four
teen days on dry com meal, during which
time they consumed 47 bushels and gained
535 pounds, or Ilf pounds to the bushel.
The same hogs, nest fed fourteen days on
corn meal ami water mixed, consumed
55J bushels of corn and gained 731
lounds, or 13| pounds of pork to the
•usliel. Ho then fed thorn fourteen days
on corn meal cooked, and after consum
ing 45 bushels of the cooked meal the hogs
gained 709 pounds, or very nearly 15
pounds of pork to the bushel of meal.
Some Facts About Rye —B. F. J., in
Country Gentleman: These fact? are
stated for tho benefit of the inexperienced
many, rather than for the instructed few,
the latter of whom have to read pages to
get a now idea, which the former find in
evety paragraph they read. I find on in
quiry, that ou the black foils late sown
rye is almost sure to yield a much larger
crow than early sown, and that iu almost
any case there'is a positive advantage in
pasturing rye fields, not only in the fall,
but in the spring as late as May 20.
When rye is sown in September or m the
first half of October, if the season is far
vorable it makes a very strong growth,
whicb, if not pastured, i3 mostly killed
during winter, tbenstarts early and grows
quickly in spring, and matures some time
in June. But iu such cases, while the
height is a prodigious one, tho heads are
apt to be short and not very well filled.
If such fields ero pastured in the fall and
during the winter and spring as late as
mentioned, this seems to fa
vor stool’ng, the increase of
root growth, a shorter and stouter
straw, a greater nfimber of stalks and
a nearly double grain yield. These facts
seem to indicate that where rye is grown
on fields which cannot be pastured alter-
wards, tbe seeding should bo as late ss
November 1st in average seasons. When
we eome to understand rye cultivation
uetter, there is little doubt of the increase
of the yield and the average of tho crop,
and when Its value as a food grain his
been tested, it is likely to considerably
decrease tbo consumption of wheat.
Jersey Island, the place from which
we obtain the favot ite Jersey co w,is a small
part ot land. If squared, it is six aud

Yet this little island has
population of 000,000 human beings,
and ha3 over 12,000 cattle, and has had
that number for tbe last twenty years, for
the census of 1001 gives 12.037. And yet
they export, on an average,annually, 2,000
head. Roughly speaking, on this island
they manage to support one.head of kice to
evety acre, while in England there is
only one head to every ten acres; there

GEORGIA'S CAPABILITIES,
Ah Viewed by the Commiaeloner or
Agriculture.
Atlanta Constitution,
Tuesday a Constitution reporter was in
tbe rrous of the Department of Agricul
ture, and had a short interview with
Judge Henderson, State commissioner of
agriculture, which was full of surprises for
the newspaper man. After conversing for
a time upon the affaire of tho department
in general, the reporter asked Commis
sioner Henderson how much the display
of the State’s resources which had been
made by him at the Exposition bad cost.
He replied:
“ My entire expenditure for tbe exhibit
was seven hundred aril ten or seven hun
dred and twelve-dollars. Not over seven
hundred and twelve dollars, certainly 1
This covered all expenses for freights,
drayage, carpenters and attendants.”
“Did you have as varied a display as
that made for Kansas by her railroads?”
“I would not like to say anything
against'the beautiful and artistic display
wblch was made by Kansas; but really,
even with our small expenditure, wc
showed a more varied exhibit. In fact,-
our display far exceeded that one for all
Radical purposes, and vrasso pronounced
jy observant men who examined the two.
Our grain was not in the sheaf and we
could not make such a gorgeous exhibit.
But we showed as fine, if not finer, corn
and wheat than any other that was dis
played upon the grounds. We ccm
menced the collection of our exhibit at
so late a day that we fffbnd it impossible
to got the grain in the sheaf. I can go
on into Georgia and collect specimens of
finer wheat aud corn than any that was
exhibited at the exposition. Tbe Atchi
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad,
I understand, spent about twelve thous
aud dollars on the Kansas ex
hibit* I am satisfied that I could have
taken half the amount and bought every
article that I warned for my exhibit, and
still have made a finer display than that
made by Kansas. The main difference in
the two exhibits would hare been this:
Georgia would have shown wheat where
Kansas would have shown straw. We
make finer heads of wheat in Georgia
thau those shown m tbe Kausa* exhibit.
But tbe principal features of my exhibit,
if I could have made a proper one, would
have been its variety. If you noticed
closely you saw that Kausas displayed
very little except corn, wheat, oats and
millet. In tbe Georgia exhibit one man
—Mr. John LJ. Gorman—made a display
in which tbere were 267 articles exhibited
as the various products of one farm. Yon
may take away everylbibg that was ex
hibited by Kausas aud not let Georgia
raise any of it and still our climate and
soil will enab>e us to produce
enough of the necessaries aud lux
uries of life to make us prosper
ous and happy. We have a climate ar.d
soil as varied as that which it takes the
a height of 2,500 feet above it, and with
tbe Bine Ridge mountains, which lap on
to the AlleghanleSjWC have in summer tbe
oUmale of New York. We have plenty of
land that is 1,500 feet above tbe sea level,
and wbere we sit now are five hundred
feet abO70 the city of Cincinnati; and yet
while we bave this delightful mountain
Klimate, we have also tne air and soil of
"be tropics. We bad with our exhibit at
tbe exposition some of ibe sweetest aud
most delicious oranges that I ever ate.
They were Georgia raised.”
“You spoke a moment ago of beim: able
to live and prosper in Georgia without
producing any of tbe Kansas staples
How could such a thing as that be doue?’,
“We would not find such a thing very
attractive In onrhigh state of civilization,
but at tbe same time it could be done.
We have arrow root, sweet potatoes,
chufas, sugar caue, ground nuts, cotton,
tobacco, and tbe tropical fruits, such , as
oranges, lemons, pine apples, etc. You
can see in these tilings enough to keep
body and soul together in a very respecta
ble way.”
“Have yon brought back any portions
of the display to be pat on permanent ex
hibition in tbe department here?’
“Yes, I have quite a number of attrac
tive things which I have preserved.
Among other things I have here a lino
stalk’of cotton from the plantat ion of Mr.
Latimer, of Stewart county. It has very
fine boils, and is one of the most beau
tiful specimens that I bavo ever sden. I
shall keep it in a glass case and give it a
prominent place here.”

It 13 not at all strange that many of tho

Arkansas have returned to their homes and
that those coming back now outnumber
those going away. Theso negroes wero
misled by a preacher of their own color,
who seems to nave taken advantage of their
ignorance to deceive them for his own
profit. Ho organized an dtnigralion socie
ty, to get admission into which each negro
paid a dollar. There was, however, no
money to take the nogroes all tho way to
Arkansas, and many found themselves on
tho way without money, and were glad to
bo aided to return. Some went all tbe

“A Great National Intao.”
J. R. R in Augusta Chronicle.
The carious side of tbs Georgia imbrogl
io is that, up hero, in some ot the public
irints, the leadership of tho Independents
.s not rccordea to Mr. Felton or Mr. Speer
bnt to Marcellus JThornton, who has re
signed his clerkship hero nnd gone home-
wnrd to assort his claims journalistically.
Itis due Mr. Thornton to say that he mod
estly disclaims leadership, but how this is,
tho future must determine. At present he
is a “great national issue,” and takes rank
above Mr. Felton. At least eny one would
so suppose from a recent interview in tho
new Baltimore paper, which has taken a
boss contract on this line.
We Mast Have mm AKricaltaral Revo
lution.
Atlanta Constitution.
Wo must hnvo intensive instead ot ex
tensive farming, and diversified produc
tion instead ot tho ell-oottoa plan. We
must recognize the dignity of labor, and
cast off ideas and methods that bave no re
lation to existing circumstances. If this
revolution qrast necessarily be slow—it it
requires gent-ratio.is—then indeed -v'o
should cultivate paliecoe; for unless ex
traordinary means can be enlisted, we can
not hope to attract immigration until we
show in actual results what our soil and
climate are capable of. Lands that are
valueless in our own hands after more
than a century of ownership will be very
apt to remain in our hands. But on the
other hand, if wo nil turn about as Major
Jones, of iHogansville, has done, wo can
render tho lands of the State productive,
thoir culture profitable, and tbo sale of
surplus Rcres at good figures easy. Major
Jones, of Hogansville, is a type of the mod
ern and improved revolutionist. We need
a thousand men like him in every county
of the State, and it is very doubtful indeed
whothcr anything short of a revolution on
the Jonss basis will accomplish the work
in hand, namely, tho bringing out of the
State's possibilities in agriculture naastep-
ping-stona to rising values, quicker sales
and a high and progressive prosperity.
Mahoneing tre South.—Judge
Tourgee, a prominent North Carolina
Republican, and author of “A Focl’s Er-
rand,” does not expect any great things
for the South from tbo Mahone move
ment, although ho confesses that “it
means nothing more than Republican
ism.” He says party coalitions cannot
bring tlie desired changes in the South,
but tbiuks these can only be accomplished
by a liberal system of tree schools and an
increase of the manufacturing industries.
A Court anecdote.—An amusing in
cident occurred aa Fincastie, Va., duriug
the last term of the Botetourt County
Court. A jury was impaneled to try one
Bolen, charged with. an assault on J. G.
Sperry, the latter testifying in the case.
After two days’ deliberation the jury re
turned into court with a verdict of man-
daughter. It would be hard to picture
the scene that followed. The bar was
convulsed, the “dead man” smiled audi
bly, Judge 1’almnr looked on for a mo
ment in mute astonishment and then hid
behind his newspaper.
