The Confederate Monument Committee of Moatgomcjy, Alabama, at a meeting Fri day lath aoooptod'tho design cflered by Mr. M. A. Doyle of New York. Tho following description of tho ntonninent is given in an interview with Mr. Doylo by tho Montgom fry Advertiser: "Tho base of the monument consuts of four Nnoeessire layers of stone, making os many steps. This base is About flirty-five feet square. These four steps leal up to four pedestals, upon each of which is to lie a hrouse statue. They will emblemize the four bmnehos of the militnry Bervioe—the cavalry, the infantry, artillery and marine. The monument being to the fiohti&rH of Alabama, it is intended that these typical figures ahall do honor to those who fell in each of those grand divisions of Uta army. From out of a common centre within these surrounding figures will rise s circular shaft of stone to a height of seventy feet At its base this shaft will be aboiit three feet in diameter, tapering upward to an apex thirty inohes in diuinoter. The lower part of the shaft will be, in tho technioal lan guage of sauiptors, A soulptured drum, a circular bas-relief, representing a military march. Tho abaft will be surmounted by a column with a Corinthian cap. Upon this tho pinnacle will rest, a fentalo figure in bronze, typifying "Patriotism," and the ' womanhood of tho South as welL The t iro will hold a broken flag in one hand, 1 with the other tender a sword to her ttjfS*, as if aendiog litem forth in defonso of ■At flag. This figure will add ten feet to the xnnnumoat, making it reach fully eighty feet in hoight. The height of tbs cornice on the Stale Capitol is about siity-five feet, so that the monu ment will tower above tho roof of Fiat building. While the figures are all in bronze, the anas ot the monument will, of course, bo stono. It is eminently proper that it should be taken from Alabama' r xik-*ibbcd hills, and it is intended that the shaft at least shall be of native limestone. On (he lower steps of tho monument, on an oblong pedestal projecting from the front st due, provisions will bo inado for a bronze stalne of ex-Presidont Davis in s sitting pos lure. This will oomplete tho design. It is probahlo that it will lake three years to onto plite the monument. The brick founda tion for the monument will be beguu at ono<i and bo roady by tho 29tli instant for tho I*, ing of the corner-stone by Mr. Db- \is. The stono will be made to accommo date the quantity of mementoes usually put away at such ceremonies." In discussing a bankrupt law the Journal ot Oommorcq says: "We think It would he well for the community if thero was no law for Ure collodion of ordinary debts. This may startle nnthinking people, but nine- I n tbe of all the business done in the oom- merclol wortd is transacted on this basis. Nearly all the vast operations ot commerce pass through several stages, and often are begun, continued and concluded, without any legal obligation resting upon any of the parties eoroernod in them. If the rule cx'ended to all buying and selling there Would be fewer tosses from bad debts, and meeting one’s obligations would become a question of honor, the failure of which would be a severer penalty than any the law could Inflict. When the oroditor has Do longer an appeal to the strong arm of the govi rant not, but only to the conscience of his debtor, good character will be at once a recognized capital, to the great advantage of all who possess it without other financial resources, And to the raising of the tone ot publie morality. Dosiers will inquire leas 'What has he? and more 'What is he?’ and there will be a stimulus to every young man to preserve an unsullied reputation." "The best op- Thz New York Sun says portunitica of the maw of the children of the publio schools lie in the direction of in nual labor, and, therefore, their educa tion should prepare them for that and ttwakcD in them a love for suoh work. It is not necessary, and it is not advisable, to give them a thorough technical training, but the children should be Uugbt to use Ihrir hands and to practically apply what they learn, so that education ahall come to mean to them something more than the in re training of their wits." At Dallas, Tex., taloniay, Judge Pardee, in tho United States Circuit Court, in sen tencing to imprisonment several striking Knights of Iiabor who Sad committed ex cesses, declared that tha present strike is •'■'iptv tor the recognition of the Knights of labor and not tor tho redrew of grievances, lie strongly denounced the Knights of Ist- bnr, and said that the next sentence would be move acvero than Jhoss he hod just pro nounced. Federal Offices at the Booth. In somo of the States of the South, Re publicans of the most offensive type are still enjoying the emoluinent8 of the Feder al offices which they have held for years. It should ho very plain to Mr. Cleveland that this has been tho cause of deep dissat isfaction to Democrats, not only such as may properly aspire to these places, bnt to others who would not have them if tendered All Republican ofBco-holders at tho SontB should he removed, because they were appointed for a bad purpose, and have been used in accordance therewith, becauso they are not in sympathy with tho people of this section, because they liavo used their posi tions to intensify the natural and artificial antagonisms between the two races. It has been a matter of small importance in’some respects, at the North, as to who held tho Fedoral positions. There, Repub licans and Democrats bare been on terms social and friendly. They have been in some instances bound together hy business relationships and the confidences which spring from kinship direct or collateral. There, the division between tho two parties has been merely political. It is entirely different nt the South. There can be no satisfaction and quiet here until a chango is made. It has boon urged that a hostile Senate delayed matters. This has been removed. The Senate has growled, shown its teeth stiuk-ieuiiy to satisfy its followers, and can scarcely find time sufficient to make con Urinations. Mr. Cleveland is justly appalled and ham pered at the indications which have followed some of the appointments ho has made nt the South. The shortest way to tho confidence of onr people in to make good and wise ones in the future.' His friends claim that he has made mistakes. Ho admits this. It is something, nt least, to know that they were mistakes. An error is always pardonable, a deliberate wrong, never. He has been “deceived and imposed" up on. This would not have happened if ho had been better acquainted with tho men and the situation. He should know them well enough now not to be deceived again. Good appointments in the future will re duce the average of tho bad oneB already mode, and will tend to restore lost confi dence. It has been suggested that appointments in a certain Southern State ure held back for the reason that eertain Senators and Representatives desire to use them in the approaching campaigns. There is tho very best and strongest reason to apprehend this ns to Georgia. Mr. Cleveland has gone to meu who should hare given him good and honest counsel. Thoy have betrayed him for their own selfish purposes. Are bis courage and honesty equal to the task of asking counsel of those who will tell him tho truth and strengthen lus adminis tration with tho people? We shall seo. rittpr!s-y-Oeni*n»l Garland. The Pan-Telephone investigation draw* to a close. It has been anything but a pic nic for the Democratic party, but no crimi nal intent or practice has been disclosed. Attorney-General Garland comes out un scathed as to his official conduct It is mortifying to know that he was engaged in this Mulberry Sellers venture, that ho was associated with a rather doubtful set of men, bnt his integrity is unimpeached. That the Bell Telephone Company has been greatly exercised at the movdtnent is ap parent It would appear from the tone of certain journals a good way removed from Ne York that the desire is to make Garland a sacrifice. From all the surroundings of the caso there can be no doubt that money bus been freely used, and that the case iu the courts will be desperately contested, has not been pleasant to learn that an at tempt was made to pension the Rogers fam ily officially npon the government. It is something of a surprise to have At- torney-Geaeral Garland exhibited os a spec ulator. These who have knhwn him long est and best, have regarded him as indiffer ent to riches as to n claw hammer coat. It was something ot a rev. lation that ho was appointed to his place npoa the ti-e of a petition. We should have preferred the belief that Mr. Cleveland * aa competent to choose a cabinet without the aid of this miserable device. It is not altogether composing to know that sundry officials are the leading stock holders in tho Pan-Telephone scheme. Tlio opinion expressed when the denoue ment was first made, that they should shuck it atonce aud forever, has not been changed, bnt strengthened. Mr. Cleveland has shown nerve in standing by liis Attorney-General, and the result has vindicated his wisdom and conrage. We repeat that we would rather not have seen this exhibition, bnt it is fortunate that it has been exploded in good time and with so little damage. Gen tlemen of the Democratic party, keep out of schemes. The most of yon are out of office. Hun. K. J. Hammond. With the exception of Mr. Hill, Georgia has not been represented in either house of Congress siuco the War hy any man who hns so largely and favorably impressed the country as Mr. Hammond. He has occu pied the second piaoe npon the Judiciary Committoe ot tho House for a lung while, and as a lawyer is justly regarded as the nblest in that body. Even a casual reader of tho proceedings of the Il mso must have been impressed for years with the readinoss and ability with which ho has handled himself iu all the de bates on important questions in that body. Thero has never been an instance iu which he has come oat second best in any contest, however able his antagonists taw have boun. His purity of ‘character is without re proach or even suspicion, and however men may differ from him, he has been accorded, universally, tho best of motives for all the positions he has maintained. We say this with pleasure, bccanse we have advocated policies which ho has opposed and opposed measures which he has favored. We have felt It a duty to ascertain as far as possible the estimation in which he was held by those who have been associated with him daring hia career in the nouse. Without a dissenting voioe he has been in dorsed in terms that more than justify onr high estimate of the man, whether this is considered with reference to his character or abilities or both combined. We voice the sentiment of the meet trusted and able men of the Democratic party when wo say that the very suggestion of his retirement from Congress, volunta rily or by defeat, excites ooncorn and appre hension.' Such an event would be regarded as s calamity to the Democratic party which, to use the expression of one of its ablest representatives in the Home, "has no men of Hammond's stripe to spare from its counsels." We say this mneb, in view of tho contest already Inaugurated by Judge Stewart to secure Mr. Hammond's seat in Congress. We do not desire to be understood as underrating the character or abilities of Jndge Stewart It is, however, both jnst an! true of him to aay, that it is not possible for him to fill the place that will be made vacaot by Mr. Hammond’s retirement or defeat Personally, we have known Judge Stewart longer and more inti mately than Mr. Hammoud, bnt consider ing the case with an eye single to the good of the party and the country, as well as the glory that Georgia is to reap from the fame of her sons, we shonld deplore the defeat of the latter uven it this should bo com pensated tor, as Car as passible,by the pro motion of the former.

The subject is one of im portance and the commodity should not be neglected by our farmors who are engaged in diversified planting. It is easily grown, and properly cured, is n valuable crop. In the cultivation of broom corn the groumF should bo prepared, the Seed depos ited and crop cultivated as in the cultivation of sorghum. When the soed gets “in the dongh,” cut tho brush with ahout three or four inches of sta'k to hold /It,together. Cure under shelter. When folly dry, strip off tho Boed cleanly and bale, being dsrefnl to have the heads packed straight and smoothly. Rale as with hay and ship to market. Broom corn, when not kopt dry in during, moulds and bocomca worthless. When out too ripe it turns red and is of inferior qual ity. It requires great care to beep it from moulding or reddening. One acre of land that will produce ten bushels of corn will yield under like condition five hundred pounds of broom corn, which it is said ranks with oats ns a feed. In the market there is a steady demand uud ready sale, the North and West readily tailing any quantity offered. The latest quotations are 0 to 10 cents per pound, ac cording to quality, and alnoe quality governs the price it will be well to ao|t the crop as it is packed, "Gvcrgia broom corn,” says a gentleman who i-m handled large quantities of all kinds, \“I have nover seen excelled. It makes in about ten weeks aud two crops per year ban be easily made upon tho same ground. Moreover, it reaches the market a month in advance of Northern straw.” It is further said npon good authority, that the market for this commodity has never been known to be dell Heed may be obtained from the Southern Seed Company at this point. Though there may not be fortunes in the cultivation of broom com, it will be found profitable if intelligently followed, and fpr this reason wo commend it again to onr Georgia farmers. The Tub New York Tribune says: country would be plenued to have President Cleveland get married. The gentle compan ionship of a charming woman is a very good thing for the nerves. And it would not hart the President to be a trifle more amiable.” To which the Chicago Times responds: "Fur s Republican organ to complain of want of amiability on the part of a Demo cratic President who is keeping fi'ty thou sand Bepnbliosns in office in spite of the vehement protest of hia party, is the very acme of pure and undiluted ‘gall.’" Not quite the acme. The some was reached by a Georgia daily when it abosod Cleveland for making a bad appointment in Kentucky, after having demanded and endorsed wretch*! up‘-ointments in Georgia. Editou MuCumz says: "It seems proba ble that the differences between the Demo crats may be so adjusted as to practically unite them on a new tariff bill; but even when passed by the House it will fail in the Senate, as the Republicans have madly re solved that they will disregard the pledge of their national convention to revise the tariff and reduce the revenues. Tbs whole bottle is, therefore, for a party record on both aides, and no revision of the tariff will pass both branches of the present Congress, cer tainly not this session." A oovrBSironaav suggests: "If Mr. Cleve land intends to marry all the young ladies whose pictnres ore given in the papers as accurate portraits of his intended bride, he must have made up his mind to plunge into the deepest depths of pclygatny.’’ Senator Brown on Prohibition In Atlanta. No matter what meu may thrak or say of Senator Brown, all will give him credit for gre.t business sagacity. He is perhaps the largest property holder in Atlanta, and of course is competent to judge of the effect already produced by prohibition, which has not yot gone into actual effect Ho settles the question beyond any fur ther inquiry or argument in these words: "As I understand it, the city of Atlanta baa realized from the liquor licenses and all taxes counseled with the liquor traffic some $50,000 per annum. That has not all been out off yet, as most of the stores and saloons where liquor is sold have not yet been closed, and will not be uatil about the mid dle of tlio year. Bnt tho city fathers un der -tsnd very well that it is to be cut off during the present summer, aud it becomes necessary to provide for the loss, and I am not aware of any other means the city has for raising tho money to meet her current expen-es but by using her credit or collect ing the Dcces-nry amount by taxation upon the property of the city. If the statement which I see in the newspapers is correct, there has been an increase ot over 25 per cont. in the valuation of my real estate in Atlanta over last year. DNDKB OATH. “It is said the assessor^ returned the property under oath and therefore did not over value it The assessors of last year and the preceding years also returned it under oath; did ihey undervalue it? No one will contend for u moment that there hiss been 25 per cent, increase in the value of property during the year or that thero has been 10 per cent I have now three store rooms standing idle which have been idle for months and I cannot get tenants nt a reasonable rental My income from rents are considerably less than they were last year. It is said that the property is cen trally located and will bear a high valua tion, but central property can be taxed so os Dot to pay a reason able income as rental. After deducting taxes—State, oounty and city—nod paying insurance, repairs and contingencies, my real estate will only net mo about as much as non-taxsblo bonds that are perfectly good would yield me at interest. BO KM MESS TBOUBLZSOHB. The bonds are muoh loss troublesome and are to be preferred if they approximate the same income. If real estate doe* not pay decidedly better than bonds which are perfectly seonro there is no inducements to those who have money to iuvest it in the improvement of real ostale, or to aid in building up the city. It cannot be to the interest of the city to increase taxation to n point whioh will drive capital into other investments. The city must make up by additional taxation for the losses she may sustain on the liquor traffic, or she must borrow and increase her debt, and as her debt now is aboot us large as the constitu tion of the Btate will permit, sue cannot adopt the latter alternative and it certainly would not be wise if she could. TUB GOOD TO BESULT. "But it is said tbe property holders can afford to sustain these lo-ses and heavy in crease of tazes on account of tbe great good that wiii resuit f om prohibition. If pro hibition did really prohibit there might be some plausibility iu the slat ment, but ev erybody who baa any knowleslge of tbe state of things in a prohibition State knows that any man who baa tbe money to pay for it, and wants whi-ky, can get as muoh its ho desires. It is driven out of respeota- hle and orderly houses as well ns out of tho doggeries into the cellars and biding places. Those who want it can easily find it, and those who have (he money can always pur chase it; and, while it is used freely by those who desire it, it is relieved of all taxation, and the tax that it would otherwise pay must bo raised by higher assessments on property.” TELEGRAPHING BY INDUCTION. The Operstor to Send a Hundred Messages as Many Ways at Once. Cincinnati, April 18 —William L. Silvey, the young mechanic who, at tho age of 19, invented tbe induction telegraph with which Mr. Edison has lately created such a furor by telegraphing from flying trains, was found to-day hard at work at bis bench in one of tbe lurge machine shops of this city. He is deeply engrossed in the domain of electricity and gives promise of wonderful future. If he lives he will purely supplant Edison as a wizard. Tuts unknown boy perfected tbe induction telegraph while working on his mother's farm, near Castle- ton, Indiana. He had wires strung through the apple arehurd and on these, with en couragement from no ono hut his mother, developed the principle of induction until he was able to transmit messages trom one wire to another forty feet distant. He car- ried his device to Indianapolis, twelve miles nway, but being without means or acquain tances was unable to interest anyone in it, IliS story that he conid telegraph between two wires that were strung on separate sets of poles forty feet apart was not credited even by telegraphers, and he was soon forced to abandon his efforts to introduce the wonderful discovery. Thus it lay un heard of until Mr. Edison got a cine to it and applied tbe principle to telegraphing from moving trains. Young hitvey has not been discouraged for a moment, but b is worked away with tireless industry, and his genius has pro duced other devices equally marvelous. IIo was found to-dsy surrounded by tbe tools and appliances pertaining to his mysterious realm. He was finishing tin electric light dynnmo, which promises wonders on us- count of the cheapness of its construction. In reply to a question as to what advantage he claimed for tbe induction telegraph over the old style, he said: “Theadvantages are many and important, With two quart cups of battery I conid send a message through a resistance equal to (XX) miles of telegraph wire and it would be pro duced ns loud as any Morse alphabet ever sounded. It would require about COO cups of battery to send a message tbe same dis tance with tbe old Morse sonndpr and key. Another use would be in sending press dis patches. A single operator could have tbe induction coil of his instrument wound with a number of ooils of wire anil by connecting a line with each coil he conid send fifty or even one hundred messages in as many ways at once. An operator in Cincinnati conid sit at his key and send a message to a hun dred cities without the nid of relays or any device except the one locked up in his par ticular instrument In the telegraph system of railroads it wonld be of incalculable ad vantage. Telegraphing from moving trains is a great achievement, but I believe it will soon be adapted to purposes of still greater importance to oommereo and industry.— New York Times. EVERY MATRIMONIAL SYMPTOM. The President .Seems In a flllssfnlly Ante Nuptial Frame of Allnd. Washington, April 19.—The only people in town who have any positive knowledge concerning the President’s marriage are tbe President and his private secretary. Tbe latter refuses to affirm or denv ihe reports, although there is no doubt that be would be out iu great basto with a denial if the President so wished. Several of the Presi dent's friends have felt on intimate enough terms with him to gently chaff him upon the subject, bnt to all the President hns made no sign beyond good-naturedly evad ing the subject. 'Pltn li.rltr frim CLEVELAND'S ADMINISTRATION. Notable Loiter (rum Uon. Clifford Anderson- Macon, Ga., April 19, 1886. lion. Patrick Walsh, Augusta, Oa.—I)zab Era: Abaeuco from tue State on important pu' lio business aud the acenmulution of matters duriug my absenoe which required Immediate attention on my return, have delayed sn answer to yours of tho 24th ultimo. When 1 inform you that tha press ure of official und professional duties are still very great, X am sure you will pardon me if my reply to your letter be character ized by brevity. I think President Cleveland's civil service policy is the great mistake of bis adminis tration. To secure a change of Republican offirb'ddem, as well aa methods, wsa tho grand incentive to action on the port of the people in tbe last. Presideutinl campaign. This won especially true at tha rank and file of the Demoerstio party. Had it been sup posed that Democratic triumph would be followed by tho retention in office of a large minority of Republican officials, the cam paign would have boen epiti'leea, and tbe result, in ail probability, different. The election of Mr. Cleveland meant that tbe leople were weary of Republican adminis- .ration and desired a chango—not a partial, bnt a thorough change -both of policy and methods. To accomplish this, a thorough chango of officials is absoluely essential. It l* idle to attempt it through the instrumen tality of nnfriendly agents. Moreover, itiz natural that Democrats should expect place and position under a Democratic Administration. If they are denied, that Republicans may continue to enjoy the honor and emoluments of office, they cannot readily understand it, and dis- appointment aud dissatisfaction are inevit able. They toiled for party triumph at the polls, that they might share wi-h their can didate for the Freaiiiency the traits of enc odes. In proportion os they are refused a personal participation in the benefits of tbe victory, their party ties are weakened and their zeal for future party triumphs is abated. Indeed it is an anomaly in politics, not susceptible of easy explanation, that a Democratic President euonld occupy the White House, and that the oflioea of the government or a large majority of them shonld continue (o be held by open and avowed members of the Republioan party. For these and other reasons I am oonrlnced that Mr. Cleveland baa made a'mistake, aud that he has failed io fully comprehend the meaning of that grand uprising ot the people which resulted in his elevation to the high position he now occupies. I believe, how ever, that he it a true patriot and « sound Democrat—terms which are, ac cording to my political vocabulary, synonymous. He is a man of singular purity of purpose and of great uprigbtuees * ‘ ’ ir—rare political virtues in these of character degenerate days. 'An ardent desire to ad minister tho government without partisan bias and for the good of all the people of every shade of political opinion, has led him into the error of supposing that he could inaugurate anew policy and intro duce new methods without a change of offl- cial agents. Information derived from a recent visit to tho national capital leads me to believe that he is beginning to see hia mistake, and to indulgb the hope that the time it not distant when Democrats will have low cause to complain ot the civil ser vice policy ot the President. With etnoere regard, I am very truly yotiry, CuirokD AxnnaoN. The l»dy friends ot Miss Cleveland say that if the latter were here they wonld soon ‘find ont whether there was to be a marriage or not. They all recall the fact that Miss Cleveland bus often talked as if she did not expect after the season which has just closed to retnrn to the White House to stay for any length of time. This is now under stood to mean that Miss Cleveland knew when she went away from here of the mar riage. It has been generally thought that Miss Cleveland would have preferred that her friend, Miss Van Vechton, should have been tbe choeen one. Mise Van Vechton, during her stay nt the White House, becuao very popular with tha people of Washing ton society. The President and Colonel Lamont go out riding now every evening over the country roads in the neighborhood of Washington. The Pre-ident whs out in an open Victoria this evening. He leaned back, the perfect picture of comfort and content lie has never looked in better health than he does now. Those who see him in these blooming days speak of his pleasant smile »nd tbe tones of deep-seated content in bis voice, even when discussing a plain matter ot bus iness.
