Atlanta Constitution: Yesterday the Georgia Railroad and Bonking Company, represented by Messrs. James B. Com niing* and A. K.

The bill goes on to recite the provisions of the char.er of the road, which it is claimed was granted certain privileges and the right to charga certain rates of freight wnich are in conflict with the rate* fixed by the commission. The bi'l farther re cites that while the company has quiesced heretofore in the redactions * i by the commission, it <’ : d under protest and cot be cause it believed that the rates were just and reasonable. This bill prays that the act of October 14th, 1879, be declared null and void, and that the commission be per petually enj lined from prescribing rates of pa aenger fare and freight on the Oeoi - git road, or in any manner enforcing the provisions of the act of Goto ter 14th, 1879, and especially of circulars Nos. 21 and 21. The bill also prayi that the attorney-gen eral be restrained from instituting any suit of any sort against the petitioners for the purpose of enforcing the pros Isions of the act referred to. A temporary icjnno- tion lias been granted and tbe case will be beard in Macon on the 10th before Judge 1 homes G Ltwson, Judge Hillyer being disqualified. Tbe case promises to be be interesting one. Mara* Talk-Bibb Crawly Kales. 1 he farmers of Bibb county have suffer- ed heavily of late from storms and gluts of rain, which washed up the sprouting . ira, destroyed an immense amount of timber and fencing, and in some instances played hsvoe with dwellings and plantation im provements. But they are in no «:se dis heartened. The oat crop will prove their *'ri*ht bower” the present year. Never in the history of the country haa there been such an area of the best land sown down in this valuable cereal. Traveling in any direction, the eie is ravished with broad landscapes clad in living green, and the prospect for a good yield seems exception ally fine. One planter has reduced his cotton crop the present year from 157 acres to 50, and supplied tb* hiatus with oats. Generally speaking, too, there will bs less cotton planted than in 1881. The fall oats are beginning to head out, and thus far are freo from every symptom of disease. It requires season of calamity and dis aster to elicit the true character of a com munity, and this was strikingly manifest ed aftyr the desolating cyclone whieh proved so destructive to many. The neighbors would turn out in person, bring ing their farm hands with them, to repair the f -.rms and dear away the debris of the fallen habitations and buildings of the suf ferers. Even the invalid James T. Nisbet and his little son were to be seen the morn ing after the disaster assisting in this work on the farm of a neighbor. Acts like these go far to refute the stereotyped oharge of man’s ntter selfishness. Storms similar to the above, which dar ing the past week have desolated so many farms in Georgia, furnish another poten tial argument in favor of tbe abolition of fences. For days after the tempest had passed by, thousands of acres of grain were left at the mercy of predatory hogs and cattle. W hat time is there now to re- encloee those exposed field* without great detriment to the farmers’ prospects for tbe whole year? MEMOBIAL DAT. Our people respond bear ily to the action of tha Ladies' Memorial Association in appointing Rev.

Noth ing could have been more soared than the cause to maintain which, he mtombs of precious lives were sacrificed and tbe land deluged tn fraternal blood. It is well, then, that from the occupants of tbe pulpit itself the deeds of tbe fallen brave should be kept fresh in the recollection of loyal Southrons and transmitted to their chil dren invested with the sacred indorsement of God's chosen servants.

President Arthur's Twin*. Washington Post. Al*ck Powell, tbe co’ored private lackey of the President, has suddenly blossomed out into an unpleasant prominence. Al eck, or “Fresh,” as the doorkeepers at the Executive Mansion benignsntly term him, lea high spirited “calTod person,”very light, slightly fat. a little handsome and not far remove! from forty. So far as known “Fresh’s” valuable time is equally divided between four important duties : brushing the President's clothes, blacking bis boots, sweeping the cobwebs from the lata Mrs. Hayes’picture and polishing up th* “2CJ” medals prior to their di'tribntion among the faithfaL Be- sides this, Aleck looks after the various departments and sees that the wheels of government move along smoothly. Aleck Is a grass widower. That is, h* first for sook bis wife —afterward paid her alimony for n While and then sued for a divorce. This latter blessing he has not yet sew red. Thursday afternoon she went to the White House to see her husband. She waa ad mitted, and with great difficulty secured, permission to go up in tbe elevator to the reran i story landing, where stood Aleck, grand and haughty awaiting I er. Instead of weeping npon the bosom of hia choice, after the prodigal fashion, Aleck roundly abased bis wife and told bar never to sea him again. The poor woman went away and went th* next afternoon again, this tims to see Private Secretary Phillips, be fore whom she hoped to lay bar troubles. Mr. Phillip* had gone, however, and she had turned, with a lady friend, to go out of th* yard again, whan Aleck, who a erne to have converted himself into a peripatet ic arsenal, rushed out of the door of the Executive Mansion, • Ic a mad break for bar. Mrs. Powell, nothing daunted by her spouses’ loud threats ana warlike attitude, did not flinch. Fortunately the officer on guard at the building, who waa near by, grabbed Aleck and tried to pash him aside, hot to be deterred, however, Is broke from the officer’s grasp and made anotherbreak for his wife, patting his hand in hia hip pocket and making a motion as if to whip oat a pistol, at the same time spitting violently In her fao*. Again, however, tbs officer seised him and harried him back into th* mansion. Mrs. Powell, thoroughly fright ened, passed rat of the yard aad hurried to tbe boos* of tha friand with whom she was stopping and retold tha story. She s ates positively that aha saw a pistol in Aleck’s pocket, aad firmly believes ha would have killed bar had he not been •topped.

He turn ed and shot her and her child. He then went to tbe centre main street and at ran dom fired down it, shattering tbe arm of a sepoy. The arm had to be amputated above ths elbow.

Waxxentob, Ga., March 8L—Mr. Wash* ington Cody, who lives abont tear miles from this place, died at hia hum* on Mat night of typhoid fever, at tha age of thirty- five ■ He was an honorable, mgh-m’nded Jm*U Waive ItT-Tfee trastr MWe at tbe question It is a fact that our public school system ia a anociem, and one of the cherishei in- etitetieos of our county. It is a fact that oar peopl* would go deep down into their pockets rather than sea our public schools go down, or beeime impaired in any man ner. W* believe it to be a fact, also, that further taxation would be submitted to for the purpose of enlarging the area of th* usefulness of these schools, and-piicing them npon a firmer and more substantial “Good gracious,” says Mr. Smith, who is ■ending two ohildrea, and is wonderfully pleased, “what in the name o’ sense is the matter now? Ain’t tbe sohools a movin’, and th* children power,ally pleased? Why, Mr. Brown’s got ’em from twelve iuehes to six foot high. Nothin’ rattin’ the matter with tbe schools, I hope ’ We are glad Indeed to know that Mr. Smith and tbe rest are well pleased. It is a great oomfort to a teacher to know tliat his pat ron- endorse his work and the board are Tilling sti’l t. employ him : but that solid c imfort whish every faithfnl, aooeptable workman driirss, that tangible comfort which keeps a little meal in the barrel, and f irovides the baby a frock semt-oecaaional- y ; that hard pan comfort which enables a man to meet bis grocer with a smile, and th* dry goods man with a hearty shake, that c lmfort—what of its hialiry ? Five years ago tt.y-eix ware employed in th* publioaohools of Bibb oooi'.y, twenty- five thousand dollars having been appro priated for their support. This year sixty- seven are employed and the appropriation is twenty-four thousand do'lare. What bad to be done? Salaries reduced and school tnrma shortened. Here we have an anomaly in buriness. In thi faetory, in the foundry, in the machine shops, in every department of business workmen are paid according to their effloienoy; larger expe rienoe and increased skill demanding and receiving an increase of wages and a mire hon rable • position. In 1874, the write: received sixty dollars per month as assistant, and ton months work; in the seme school now. aa principal, he reoeivee forty-five and eight months’ work. Tbe principal of the same school then waa paid on* hundred dollars per month; he now gets fifty. No business man will say that such a course, if unavoidable, ia in aooordanoe with business principle*. On this principle, if no remedy be dD ivered, the length of terms will continue to grow lose, and salaries correspondingly rednoed. Right here we are met by the verv trne statement that the board have don* tbe very best they coaid under the ciroum- Btnnoes; that there is annually a greater deminu for funds, new schools being opened and more teachers emplojed. We wish it to be understood that we come not as grumbler'. We are min dial of the fact that the be ard have had an onerous duty to meet th* pressing demand and keep our schools going; that they have labored without any substantial remuneration and have been as liberal as the funds would allow. Usually an expansion of business demands and in crease of capital, bnt tbe business of our sohools takes the other coarse, and the great wonder is that so muoh haa been ac- oompluned with so l'ttle money. What has been t ie resalt of th : s policy? A con tinual shitting and ch'uging of teachers, and the unavoidable necessity of filling the schools with untrained and inexperienoed men. We would not utter one word in disparagement of th* young men engaged in the achoo's. They are worthy and com petent, and need only school-room experi ence to make them all that Mr. Zettler would hav* them be. Why not? Because almost any other profession offers greater inducements. The peg-leg oobbler makes more money with one t nth the brain work. The tr’rd rate barber makes more money and can read the papers and pick the banjo half his time. The teachers in oar schools have throat before their eyes every day, men inferior to them in mental endorse ments and business acumen who are mak ing five dollars to their one and building homer for their families. “O! if *you don’t like the water don’t corns to tbe well.” “Yon should'nt work for the money alone,” says some one, “yon should be stimulated to work for the love of it.” That’* very nioe. bat there is not enough solidity about it. No man ever worked an engine mere ly beoanse he loved it. The burly, soot- begrimed blacksmith may love to wield his heavy hammer, but he loves still more the half dozen little dirty 'acad dependents at home. Our estimable superintendent recognizee the business principle, “good workmen, good wages,” and has incited his corps of teachers to renewed exertions by promises to reward efficient teachers with better pay. Some of ns have been with him from tbe inoipiency of the system, and these promi ses remain unfulfilled. We attach no blame to him. He thought he bad the lands in sight, but like the Frenchman’s flea, when he put h<s finger on him he was nit there. He is now strain ing every nerve to make our schools second ti none tn tbe Union. To do it he must hav* good teachers ; tbe -e be hat are good enough if, he can hold them’;" these I lechers like other men, working tor a living, must be paid; he is ap pealing to our legislators, State and na tional; he stand* in the van of any move ment tending towardt the advancement of the public scniols or an increased appro priation. Let ns hope that he may receive that sympathy, oo-op*raiion and rapport whieh the dignity and th* importance of the subject demand. He would attract 11 onr schools in th* country, as in the city, foremost e locational talent of the land. He would tare our oonnty dotted with model school houses, presided over by model teachers. He would have them furnished with model furniture and every adornment and applianoe necessary to make th* schools the pride of the people. In behalf of the oonnty teaohers we com- 8 end hit work and hit words, spokou or written, to tbe thoughtful, earnest consid eration of all interested in the continued snooess of our public sohools.

They had five ma healthy and promising children a' any in tb* city. In two weeks four were taken from them aad the on* left was barely rescued from death.

There are many sources of deadly suffering bat none so terrible and relentless as sew er gas. It is a poison as rare aa you are living, and uo atom gets into your system that dose not weaken it and hasten the day of disruption in your mental and physical structure. For the five months ending February 28th, there have died 1,038 per sons from the so-called zymotic disease*, which, in popolar language, would be un- uuderstood by tbe expression, diseases in duced by poisons taken into or acting npon the organisms in various ways.” Prof. Walter 5. Haiuet relates his obser vations at follows: During a recent spring a family on the west aide, consisting of five members, were afflicted by sewer-gas, which filled their whole house. The oldest of the children waa a yonng man eighteen years old. The other two were young girls. The three were brought to their beds. Two physicians spent nearly two months over them, absolutely ignorant of the oanse of their prostration. The two girls became deaf, dumb and blind. One side of the bodies was qaralyzed, and the unfortunate victims were barely kept alive. Betides being without sight and hearing, their sensibilities were so hardened they did not seem to care to live. A third physician was snmmooed^nd he said that sewer g s woe responsible for the whole trouble. An examination of the house pipe showed tjiat it was broken a half dozen places and that gas was escap ing.” I might go on and accumulate evidence similar to the foregoing sufficient to fills volume, but enough has been written to arouse those in authority to a sense of (heir responsibility to so many of our citi zens who are now suffering from the effects of that virulent poison, which hav* been ~o graphically portrayed by others in similar circumstances. Th* writer has a feeling recollection of tLe suf- fototive, nauseating and disgusting odor by which he wat aroused from a deep sleep, when, two years ago, he occupied a room in proximity to that abominable sluice in the rear of tbe Stubblefield House. His blood poisoned by tbe debris of organ- io substances emanating from that filthy streamlet; enervated for the time in mind and body, be was compelled to flee ti the mountains with railroad speed to escape from a protracted if not a fatal attack of typhoid or typ ho-malarial fever. It to said that Macon to on a “big boom” so far as relates to her commercial pros perity.
