The Indianapolis, Ind., Journal states that Mr. William M. Taylor, a prominent lawyer of that cilv, recently visited Mr. Jeff erson Davis at his home, near Beau voir, Miss., a small station on the Louis ville and Nashville railroad, midway be tween Mobile and New Orleans. Mr, Tay lor describes the home of the Confederate leader as a typical old time plantation man sion, one story In height, with spacious halls and an imposing pqrtico, The house lies in view of the Gulf, and is sur rounded by a thick grove of orange and magnolia trees. Mr. Taylor says that ho* was received cordially by Mr. Davis, and, after they had been talking a few moments, Mrs. Davis and her daughter, a handsome young lady, appeared in the room, accom panied by a young Chicago lawyer. Mr. Davis insisted that he should remain in the house over night. During the evening the conversation turned upon the war. and Mr. Davis talked freely upon all subjects that were brought up. “What is the Southern estimate of the Federal generals?" inquired Mr- Taylor. ‘‘I cannot give you the Southern esti mate," Mr. Davis replied. "I can giv* you my own estimate. "What do you think of Grant,’’ was asked. ‘‘Grant" he said, "was largely a creature of circumstances. 1 remember that the first time I met Grant was when he was stationed on the Pacific coast as a lieuten ant. I was then Secretary of War. He was charged with drunkenness and negleet of duty. I gave him his choice between standing trial and resigning. He resigned. I knew that he would. General Grant was a great military commander. He was very tenacious. He fought a battle as a matter of business. Men were mere cogs in the wheel. All the men and means he wanted were placed at his command, he had every advantage. He would have been discaarg* ed.froin the army of the Potomac if it had THE NEWS IN GEORGIA. Mr. R. W. Habersham has written a letter to the Mornhuj Newt suggest ing that Savannah is “the proper loca tion for an art department of the Uni versity of Georgia.” The Hamilton Journal will contain aChipley department-, edited by Mr. W. L. Palmer, of the late Ltader. This will be an interesting feature of our Hamilton contemporary. Some of the Savannah dogs have been placing themselves outside of doses of “Rough on Rats,” and they will never more be known to kill sheep or bite women and children. The walking match in Atlanta seems to be a newspaper strike for indepen dence of the blackberry crop. The fellow that wins will be able to sleep under shelter and eat hash for the rest of the year. • Editor Lee, of the Cuthbert Appeal, makes this grim and suggestive re mark: “The time is approaching when the politician can recognize a son of toil further than across the streets. Elections are close at hand, you must remember. The difficulty between II. P. Bell and I. S. Clement, of Cumming, grow ing out of the shoottng of a bull by a small darky, has been amicably set tled. The bull and the darky are pro bably still at variance. not been that too many changes had al ready taken place in the army.’ r "What is your estimate of General Sher man ?’’ was asked. "Sherman," Mr. Davis said, "was look ed upon in the South as Alaric was by the Romans. He was their ‘scourge of God.’ He was cruel, yet he was a great strate gist.” "Yes," interrupted Min Davis, ‘‘he was an inhuman monster. What he did not use he destroyed." "Sherman hesitated," Mr. Davis con tinued. "for a long time between joining the (Confederate army on the Union army. We were uncertain which he would do. He finally joined the Union army, thinking, I suppose, that more could be gained by it. "My idea," remarked Mr. Davis, "Is that Meade was the nio«t skillful general in the Federal army. General Lee once said to mo that he could understand the move ments of all the generals in tho Federal army easier than those of General Meade. Those above Meade never allowed him to display his full power. He was hampered and kept down through jealousy." Mr. Taylor—"How did you regard Mc Clellan?” "Well, sir, McClellan was the best trained soldier in the war. While Secretary of War 1 sent him on three important mis sions—one to Europe, to study military methods. He returned with a better knowledge of military discipline and meth ods than was possessed by any man in his country." Mr. Taylor—"Could he have entered Richmond if he had pushed on across the Chick&hominy ?” "Well," Mr Davis answered, laughing. "I once knew a farmer who said that if his foresight had been as good as his hindsight ho might have mode a fortune on cotton. Something of the same kind was probably the fault with McClellan. If he had known the weakness of the Confederates, and had thrown his arn.y across the river, I think he could have entered Richmond. Wc thought he would, and I believe Gen. Lee thought so, too." Mr. Taylor—"Who do you regard ns the greatest of the Confederate generals'"’ "I consider Gen. Sidney Johnston greatest general produced on either side by the late war. Gen. Lee stands next in my estimation, and as wc move away from the war his desperate struggle against over whelming numltcrs will be a marvel in war annals." "Mr. Lincoln was a vulgar joker," Mr. Dnvis said,’but withal he was a grc.i^man. He was wise and he was honest. He could have been of great good to the South if lie had lived and his untimely death was a S rent loss to us.” He was quiet and in eep meditation for several minutes, and resumed: "Yes, it was n great loss; he was succeeded by a low, mean demagogue— Johnson—and a demagogue is the worst of men. Johuson was unschooled, but a man of great native abilities. He had no con victions, and tried to please all. Lincoln was n man ol great vigor of mind, al though lie was plain and rough. If Mr. Lincoln had lived the £outh would !ia\e had n President that understood her con dition. and he would huve been of more benefit to her than nnv other man could possibly have been. Hu was an honest man. His death was u great misfortune to the .South." HIOH PRICES FOR JERSEYS. The Two-year-old HoHerlBomba’s Daugh ter Sold for S8.200. , New York Sun, Peter C.

The corn crop, generally, is report ed to be in a flourishing condition. The farmers would be in liko condition if the provision market depended on them, instead of their depending on it. A little com—no matter how flourisu- ing, can’t All a great want. The Record claitas that “Montezuma has the best artesian water in the State.” This claim will not be allowed to pass unchallenged by Albany, we suppose j but, then, the boys will not fight over it. Wntcr is not a warlike fluid. “The road to Romo is almost im passable,” says the Summerville Ga zette. This is a loss to both places, and to all outsiders who are personally in terested in their prosperity. Will the >eople of Georgia never learn that they lave a pecuniary interest in good roads ? Banner-Watchman: Wo had a call yesterday from Mr. J. AV. Thompson, of Big creek district, Oglethorpe coun ty. He tells ns that they have a splen did stand of cotton, but corn is only moderate. The wheat crop is good, as also spring oats, but the fall sowing is poor, many persons plowing them un and planting the land in cotton. “If a man wants his record thorough ly invcstigate*d let him run for office,” says the DcKalb Xaes. This is true. The man who wants office lias no right to expect nnything else. The man whose record can’t stand the closest spection is not worthy of offlce.There ill be less malfeasance in office when the people enter more earnestly into sucli investigations. They arc in the public interest. The farmers complain about being so badly behind witli their crops. They should remember wo have itad some uncommon damp weather, and a late spring beside.—Greeneoboro Home Jour nal. It is nonsense for people that are badly behind with tneir crops” or anything else, to waste time in com plaining about it. When a fellow geti behind, the thing for him to do is to push nhcad and catch up. The man that sticks to Ids work will not stay be hind. The Newt and Adcerliter lias tills paragraph on an important question: "There never was a time in Georgia when the common road system claimed so much attention as now. If the dis cussion will only tiring about energetic action on the part of those whose slut' it is to execute tho road laws, muc! will-lie accomplished. The great want seems to l>o to get tho pcoplo to be lieve that good roads are essential to prosperity?’ It is not tho duty of grand juries to recommend any man for any offioe. As private citizens, grand jurors arc entitled to their preferences among candidate's, just as are other citizens; but as an organized body no grand j ury has any right to enter actively into polities. Tlie grand jury is not intend ed ns a political institution; and should it become one it does so at the sacrifice of every consideration enter ing into its constitution. The Caiunta Courier furnishes gs this interesting item; “The annual sheep-shearing is now going on. The wool clip' of Catoosa will lie larger than Tthas lieen for many years. It is ail industry which is steadily increasing, and in ii few years will become of no snu.il importance.” There is no other industry in tlie State from which larger returns could be expected, if the Leg islature would enact laws to give it a living chance. Oil! for one live, pa triotic, progressive, conscientious Leg islature ! Tiie country butter now brought to thts market is, in many eases, as rich golden as one ever sees from tlie Jersey stock of North Georgia—a fact which demonstrates tlie rapid improvement in certain quarters of our milk stock. Let tills improvement continue, by all means.—Bainbridge Democrat. It also demonstrates, in our opinion, that there is more in the treatment of cattle than in tho pedigree. With a liounti- ful supply of provender and pure water an.l protection from bad weather, cows of any kind will yield on abundance of rich milk and butter. There is more in the owner than in the “straw." covered and completely demolished by unknown parties last Friday night. Only n Sympathizing Relative. Banner-Watchman.

Tlie Suiierior Court judges arc charg ing era id juries on tlie law, enacted by tho last Legislature, prohibiting tlie sale of adulterated food and diink. This a very important matter, involv ing, as it does, tlie health and lives of tho citizens of the State. It has come to that pass that it is with difficiiltv that any articlo of diet can bo procured in a pure state. Sugar, lard, and, in fact, all the prime necessaries of life un dergo an adulteration before beings placed upon tho market. Doubtles tho now types of discaso, which, in some Instances, bqffie tlie diagnosis of learned physicians, and the increase of numerous affections, wjiich are gen erally traceable to indigestion, are tho result of such adulterations. Too much stress cannot bo laid upon tho matter. The law is a good or.e and grand jurors should sec to its rigid enforcement. A Bad Accident. Yesterday atternoon as Mr. J. R.

By this means if >ou should be so unfortunate as to lose a horse or mule during the dull summer months you could draw funds to buy another without paying a high rate of interest for borrowed money. “Bear ye one another’s burdens.” This kind of insurance lias worked well in other counties, and it lias been demonstrated that 41 will cover the risk on ono horse or mule for twelve months.

There are few cities of tlie size of Madison whore property owners take greater pains lo make tfieir dwel lings attractive in appearance or arc more hospitable to visitors. Wc are having nice growing weather, and cotton chopping is the order of tho day among farmers. Crops are .look ing well. On last Monday afternoon we had some little excitement. Ow ing to souie impudence ou tlie part of a negro por ter mimed George Young, it became necessary for Mr. Peter Bearden, clerk at tlie Madison House,to strike George, which he did in sucli a manner as to lay George out almost dead. Whereupon the darkies in the neighborhood of the del>ot became quite boisterous and threatening, but the cool, determined manner of our city authorities satisfied them that it was not a good time for a riot, Our young men have organized a baseball club and practice every after noon. We have some expert players and I hope to lie able to report a match game or two during this season. Some time since the Maditonian re ported an act of incendiarism in Put nam county, which report was quite severely criticised by the Katonton Hettetujer. At one time our community anticipated trouble of a hostile nature from tills controversy, but we now- hope such danger has passed away. Last week the MilledgcviUe Chronicle saw proper to question the motives of the Maditonian in making tills report. It is due our local paper to say that the majority ot our citizens are satisfied that the motive which influenced its course in this matter was only such os would influence a candid, impartial journalist, and we regret to see other journalists have seen proper to aniinadivert upon its course.
