From a special to the Atlanta Post-

This would show that the people of
the United States secure to themselves
a full share of this valuable medicine,
as they do everything else.
Ir is said that the reason why Mr.

consequently moving slowly and feel

Tiie bill of Congressman Ham
mond, which created two United
States Courts in Georgia with two
sots of judges, is exciting consider
able discussion among Atlanta law
yers. The bill, as it stands, will not
meet the wants of the bar and the
people, and will have to be amend
ed. It appears that Mr. Hammond,
when he drew the bill, and before
liim.l he act of ISIS creating a Dis
trict Court for the Northern District
of Georgia, and be ignored, or per-
itapsdid not have his attention call
ed to, the act of 1S72 treating a Cir
cuit Court. Under his bill, there
fore, this district would be relegat
ed to where it stood under the old
act of 1848, with only a District
Court. The importance of a Cir
cuit Court is patent to everybody.
It assists in dispatching business io
have a Circuit Judge holding court
here, and it gives us the further ad
vantage of having one of the As
sociate Justices of the Supreme
Court visit us once every two years.
As there is no Appeal to the Su
preme Court except in cases involv
ing $5,000 and’ over, it is of the
highest importance to litigants that
■they should enjoy the privilege of
having the best judicial talent pre
siding in their cases. The defect in
Mr. Hammoud's bill attracted the
attention of Mr. Kasson, when it
came up in the House, and he at
once inquired what it meant, but
Hammond did not seem to be pre
pared for a satisfactory reply. This
fatal error in the bill has attract
ed the attention of lawyers
here, and Senator Brown has been
requested to have the bill amended
when it comes up in the Senate. The
idea of depriving Georgia of a cir
cuit court and leaving her where she
stood under old district Court act
of I84S is not to be entertained for
au instant.

There resides across the line a
family named “Coffee,” one mem-

.~> young lady, who, a few days sinca
became. the wife of an Aroostock
farmer halted Smith. As there is
a duty of ten per cent on coffee im-
portad from New Brunswick,
and as Smith did not call at the cus
tom house on his way home, the
boys discovered the substance of a
first-class joke. Accordingly a re
venue officer was cautiously ap
proached, and qnietly informed that
so-and-so had smuggled one hun
dred and fifty pounds of coffee, and
taken it to his home on Littleton
ridge. With a vision of spoils and
a charming haul to balance the risk
attending the seizure, he lost no
time in calling upon the alleged vio
lator of Uncle Sam’s revenue laws.
Smith was informed of the object of
his nocturnal visit, and calling his
blushing bride, formally introduced
her to the badly-sold officer, who
returned to enter that kind of Coffee

Editor News and Adrernser:
1 have just returned from a trip
across the country to Dawson, and
perhaps an account of what I learned
during my slay in Dawson and mr
observations of the farming interest
along the route mar not be tiuinter-
csliug to at least a few of the
many readers of vottr paper.
Along the road as I traveled I no
ticed that people are hard at work
making preparations tor the crop
of1882. Corn is being planted and
land prepared for the cotton seed.
Very considerable manure, in the
form of compost, lias been, and is
beingj Spread upon the land. I saw
some guano being distributed, ami I
saw wagons along the road hauling
gun no from the depot at Leary and
from the warehouses at Dawson ;
but from all the information I could
get. 1 do not think that more than
half as much guano will be usedbr
tlie farmers this season as was used
last season. But the most gratifying
change that ! discovered was that a
much larger proportion of land was
being planted in corn than is usual.
Indeed from what I coull see along
the road, and from the information
obtained -from parties, the propor
tion of land given to corn this year
tar exceeds any year since the war.
I also saw many fields covered with
beautiful oats. The prospect for a
good oat crop was never better.
On up nearer Dawson i saw many
fields of growing wheat, which was
very fine, as good as 1 -ever saw
growing; and should it not be over
taken by rust'much of the wheat
upon those red lauds will yield
twenty-five bushels per acre.
Arriving at Dawson 1 found busi
ness pretty dull, but the merchants in
good spirits. They well know that
dull times in town at this season of
the year is the evidence of work in
the country, and that out of this
lab >r must conic their next fall and
winter's trade. Dawson lias a very
tine class of merchants, good, sub
stantial business men, and they arc
well sustained by a good and thriv
ing set of farmers all over the coun
ty, who are running their farms—
the only way to make a farm profita
ble under the small farm system.
Dawson is noted for kindness aud
consideration to strangers visiting
the town; therefore, I fared exceed
ingly well. The people all are gen
erous to a fault, very sociable aud

“Is not the general tendency of
these new lines to build up the Pied
mont or upper country lying be
tween Atlanta and the base of the
Blue Ridge ?*
“Yes. The upper part of the
State of South Carolina is possessed,
for instance, by a most remarkable
race. Since tiie war they are pay
ing no attention to the lower coun
try of South Carolina—the sea coast
parts—which _ s» - long prescribed

Blaine and Brown.
Enquirer Washington epecial.
The attention of Senator Brown,
of Georgia, was directed to-day to
published statements that a possible
Presidential ticket of -Blaine and
Brown would come np in the next
campaign,
“Some time ago,” said the senator,
“I wrote Wletter in which I said that
I would v*te for the next Democrat
ic nominee for governor of Georgia,
and for the next Democratic Presi
dential nominees. Mr. Blaine could
hardly be a Democratic nominee for
President;!and upon what I have
announced as my intention, I conld
neither be on the same ticket with
him nor vote for him. I stand by
wbat I have already declared as my
intentions. There is no necessity
whatever, ih my opinion, for going
outside the Democratic party for
candidates. The party should be of
itself alofle."
In reply .to.:a question as to the
liberal movement in Georgia, Mr.
Brown said that he never thought
in could accomplish any thing, and
that it was farther crippled by the
fact that the Republicans of the
State are diligently fighting each oih
er in factions over the offices.
•
I stranger to fqel that he had unex
pectedly come upon relations and
friends.
I found there the South Georgia
Male aud Female Institution, under
the management of Prof. M. A.
McNulty, in full blast, on a boom.
Prof. McNulty is extensively known
lo be one of the best educators iu
the State. He lias called to bis as
sistance an able faculty, composed
ot Professors Allen, Vandcventer,
Bcardslee and Adams. Those .arc
the heads of the different depart
ments, assisted bv a sufficient num
ber of good and able teachers. -They
now have two hundred and ten stu
dents. About halt of this number
are girls, the other half boys; and a
finer body of students cannot be
fnnnd in Georgia, or any other
State. This college is the pet of
Dawson, and right well they are
sustaining it. Prof. McNulty is now
enlarging the bdildings, and having
new buildings erected. He will be
ready for a large increase of stu
dents next term. It is quite likely
that next term will find him with at
least three hundred scholars.
To those who have sons or daugh
ters to educate, I would say, that in
ray opinion, they could not do bet
ter than to send them to the Daw
son Male and Female Institute.
I returned home by way of Chick-
asa whatchee, Gillionsville and Dock
ers, station. I discovered along the
road large fields everywhere plant
ed in corn. This year I think will
be the first corn year in seventeen.

Mrs. Polk is in needy circumstances.
—Senator Sewell is reported dan
gerously ill at Camdem, N. J. If
he should die a Democrat might suc
ceed him, for the New Jersey Leg
islature has only one Republican ma
jority on joint ballot. Te send a
Democrat in his place would make
the United States Senate a tie.
—Senator Voorhees has received a
letter from a friend in Dakota, say
ing that there is net one farmer in
ten that desires the admission of any
portion of that territory as a State,
and that there is not one in the del
egation now in ‘Washington urging
the admission of Dakota as a State.
—Young Forney asserts as to
deadheadism: First, that no other
business is so preyed npon by d ead
heads as is that of journalism; and,
second, that the most accomplished
and successful of the deadheads
which afflict the newspaper offices
are, first, the railroads, and then the
theatres.
—A price is set npon the heads of
wild horses in three of the Austra
lian colonies. They hang upon the
ontskirts of civilization and are a
ceaseless cause of annoyance and
loss to ontiying squatters. They
are vicious, physically weak, and
worthless as work horses. Stalking
them with the rifle, or running them
down, is a favorite sport
—Washington Capital: “The two
debutantes most admired in society
this season are the little Senorita
Mabelle Pacheco, of California, and
Fraulein Emilie Denster, of Wis
consin. The two seem to have ex
changed the type of race—the Span
ish girl’s style of beauty bring the
purest Saxon, while the German
belle’s complexion might be ripened
in the genial sunshine of Andelusia.”
—Experiments show that the new
chrome leather, the result of the
new tanning process byj hichromate
of potash, exceeds in tensile
strength the bark-tanned article;
also, that after it bag set under the
necssary stress, it still retains an ex
traordinary amount of elasticity,
which is available for tightening
machinery belting on pulleys. As
illustrating this statement, the fact
is shown Ihat a piece of chrome
leather bore an ultimate stress of
3jJ97 pounds per square inch, while
a peace of bark leather only bore an
ultimate stressof 2,672 pounds per
squre' inch—this example proving
the samples of chrome-tanned leath
er to be stronger than the b»rk-tan-
ned by some fifteen per cent
“Potomac,’’ the well posted WasbJ
ington correspondent of the Savan
nah News, writes: "In co versa tion
to-day with your correspondent
Senator Brown said that he never
considered the so-called Liberal
movement in Georgia as amounting
to anything. The sentiment of tbe
State was, in his opinion, so over
whelmingly Democratic and right
that he had never paid any atten
tion to the talk of a Liberal-Inde-
dent-Bepnblican movement. He said
also that although his name liad
been connected as second on a ticket
in 1884 with Blaine, snch talk was
child’s play. He stood by the letter
which he recently wrote to Colonel
Egjill, oi the News, in regard to his
position. He was a Democrat, he
■Said, of tbe most thoroughly organiz
ed school. He would vote for the
next Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor of the State and for the’fiext
Democratic Presidential ticket. He
saw no reason why the Democratic
party should think of going ontside
its ranks for any candidate. It was
strong enough, in his opinion, to
stand on its own bottom, and should
stand there.”
