Under a new rule ihey can lie reported at any time. Georgia was solid treday. th* ratk. After the usual morning lutsines*. the sen ate resumed the coo-i derat ion of the army appropriation hill. Mr. lliaine procecrled to address the-senate. Mr. li'.aiu* raid the democrats, instead of striking out the eight word* offensive to them, via: "Or to keep the |»eace at he\ polls,repealed the whole section of which the?** word? were a tout and then re enacted It. thinking to get the credit for originating it, hut this law wax paoenl in time of war and signed by Lincoln when lie harl a million men anrler hi* control and could have con trolled the elections without jatiy such aid.

He derided the idea of danger from military interference, and said there were only 2.797 soldier* east of Omaha, ir'd only 1,155 in the southern stale*—about 70 to every .million )ieople. The democratic cry of military des(*>ti*Hi Would injure the -landing of the country, but a European would laugh at it if he knew that there was only one soldier to every seven hundred square mile* of terri lory in the south. This was not the real i*»tte. The ulterior purism- of the other side was to prevent the general government from being represented by it* civil officers at elections in which it was specially inter ested. and over which thee institution gave it full control. Ife would not profess to know what the president would do when these In I Is came to him. hut it seemed to him that the dead heroes of the union would rise from their graves if he should consent to be intimidated or outraged in Ills pro|*r constitutional power by threats like the-e. The appropriate res|sm*e from hi* li|*s would la*: “I* thy aervunt a dog that he should do this thing?'' Mr. Withers (Virginia) said Blaine's re marks would not produce much effect on either the senate or the country. It was not a question to lie decided whether there were soldiers enough to dominate and con- .n»l the elections, but whether under the oix-ratioii of existing laws it was not po*?i- hie for the executive to distribute and it<e the soldiery si a- to destroy the freedom of election*. It was not to confront the pres ent danger, lmt t«» remove from the pres ent or any future president the temptation tbo existing law would offer to destroy the lilierticN of the country and erect on tie ruins of the republic a despotism supported by Arms. He argued that the presence of troop- at the polls was in com patlble with free government, and this wa- thc principle on whir li the p< tiding hill was based The deni icrah* did not propose to »!m|ie their cotiree as to what may or may not lie the jh oil ion of the president lie rhoiild not attempt t«* take away n par- r.v att< inpti d to I* by the senator from it interfere with any ength to hi* spinal com.

THK HOt'SK. Imuivdiately after the rending of the journal the speaker proceeded to the call of state- f r bills for reference, beginning with tl C -I.it.iof Maine. The first response was made bv Mr. Ladd, of Maine, who intro* due, d a bill to put the coinage of gold and silver <>n the same footing. A imint of or der thereupon wa> raised by Mr. Conper, of Michigan, that the Introduction of lulls re quires « nc day's notice, and that no such notice had l»evn given. The shaker, after quoting several rules In uring on the sub fc t, overruled the |*»int of.order. Ap|ieal in the decision was taken by M ai d a motion to lay the appeal on the table was made by Mr. t’ox (New York). The question was debated by Mr. Stephens (Geor gia), who ex|ir*>-ed the opinion that the decision wits clearly right ami that at all exenis the object of"the bill could always l*e attain.d by presenting a petition on ilie same subject, aonurec which he himself hail d this morning in regard to all ob- I legislation which he desired to pro mote. Mr. fonger is now debating question mol thus indirectly attaining his object, which is the consumption of the morning hour. After a brief argument by Reed, of Mai ' of order, and by nger called for the tellers on the motion to lav on table; thereupon. Springer, of Illinois, remarking tliat he wished to expedite the decision of the question, called for yeas and nays, which were ordered, and on which C\ nger’s ludicrous continent was, that lie was made to sec that the delay was being orneinnnl by an action of the democratic aide of the bouse. The appeal was laid the table; yeas i:ci, nays 75. The morning hour was consumed intbeobjec lion, discussion and taking the vote. A motion t«» it-pei.d the rules and adopt a resolution giving a- the Judgment of the bouse that the business inn " *' * country require no legislation law in reran! m < t-rency or l»e undertaken at the present s* grvse, wa* defeated by a vote Osejoti. and p' saibly i republican aspirant *now« any airet worth mentioning. Among democrat* den leads, with Thurman, Bayard, Hen dricks and Hancock in order. If the dem ocratic convention were to lie held to-mor row Tilden would receive the votes of not leaa than twenty-one of I be thirty-eight state*. In Georgia the democrats would like Bavard or Thurman, hut seem to have concluded Tilden ie to be forced on them, and will support him unwillingly. The republican sentiment is evidently for Gram, though Blaine. Edmunds, or Sher man are not without supporters. Waxhinoton Post: The treasury depart ment is endeavoring to pick a funs with Georgia on account of the manner adopted by that state to refund it* Indebtedness. As nstial in case* of deliberate nuatrel, the aggressor ha* begun by lying. Geoigia has not issued. a* given out by Ounmisirioner Baum, $r»-G0>J.<JUUof small bonds, but $250.- 000 instead, bearing interest at four per cent., to take np her maturing eight per centa .She has made them of the denom ination, of five dollar*, and has attached to them regular interest coupons. Dues Mr. Hlierman or Mr. Baum, or anybody else, pre tend to say that if Georgia has the right to issue a $1,000 state bond she cannot issue two of $500 each instead, or 200 of five dol lar* each? If they do, they will aurely render themselves absurd. The currency of the boud 1* a matter not of the state’s direction or jurisdiction. If people prefer to do tlieir business with bonds instead of greenback*, it i* no business of the federal go*fn«MM»t'a AjBrtLlaWlriira ft®, iu own concern and her method of paying it a matter of interest only to the state and its creditors. The federal government has no more to do with it than it has with the color of the hair of the man who pays it. \Vasiiixuton Special to Chicago Inte®- Ockaji: Since tlie decision of the com in i?- sioner of internal revenue that the “new lionds” of Georgia are uot .subject to the 10 f*r cent, tax, under the I km king law levied upon bill* of credit and other device* in tended to circulate as money, then* has been increased confidence among Georgia repre sentative* here that the novel scheme of their state to make money plenty will lie a iimd and striking success! The only thing the Georgian* now fear i* a clause in the roii-iitution of the United States which prohibits state* issuing money or bills of credit. The only .coinpe:ent tribunal b> I*® upon that is the supreme court of the United Htates, and the Georgians do not believe that it will be taken before the court; for who will trouble themselves to do it? The new money with which the Georgians are stuffing their pockets is not legal tender. No one is compelled to take it, and under these circumstances it is not prob..ble that tlie matter will get before the supreme mrt. Treasury official* here are a good deal limed at the o|»eraiion and accounts bich reach them of its success, bat since the decision of the commissioner of in ternal revenue that the>e “builds" are not taxable under the hanking law. they see noway to prevent Georgia or any other state from imtiing like currency to any amount that will fioat. If a state ha* the right to issue a thousand- ollar bond, she also has the right to is*aea tive-dollar bond, the law recognizing no distinction as to amount The Georgia “bond,” including coujions, is exactly the size of a greenback bill, and in about the same colon. The coupons are upon tlie right hand *id«, six in number, payable (twenty cents) on the 1st of January each year for six years, when the “bond” itself is payable. Treasury officials are of opinion that the example of Georgia will be followe I by other southern states, with a view to de- are their interest burden* and add to the ilume of currency” atioat. Few of the other states, however, have the excellent credit of Georgia to begin with, and w it bout established credit it will be ini|M*aible to - lake a 4 per cent, obligation float. Boston Hxealo: Atlanta, sometimes called the son t hern Chicago,” presents a spectacle f rapid growth, unexampled in the *omli. Before the war it wa* a straggling town of twelve or fifteen thousand inhabitants, chiefly interesting as a railroad junction and center. General Sherman, starling on his march through Georgia was forced bv military necessity to destroy Atlanta anil left standing scarcely a dozen building*. The present, city has been built since the war. It is a town of forty thou sand people, substantially built, in a l>euutiful location, over a thousand fete above the sea level. Many of its business »*’ocks would do credit to ary city in the public. Its residences indicate taste as well as prosperity. The money with which Atlanta lias been built has Seen made on the spot since the war. It i* an im|Mirtaut railroad center, and the chief inter*st is trade. It supplies a large part of Georgia. Alalwma and Mississippi, and is an impor tant de|Mit for cotton gathered from that section. Among the most active in building up Atlanta was Mr. Kimball, a native of Maine, who car ried on extensive operation*, built n mam- >tli hotel and o)»era house, and succeeded, is often the care, iu everything but mak ing hi* own fortune. He has now emerged from hi* financial embarrassment, and. with his old energy, iiz- built a cotton mill, which is about ready to begin work. At lanta is the home of Governor Bmwn and both the Georgia senators. General Gordon and Ben Hill. It is the largest city in the state, having passed Savannah some years since, lu the days of reconstruction, the capital was removed from Milledgeville to Atlanta by military order, but last year it A BIG BONANZA!

A day or two since, one of ThkConstitc- tion staff had an interview with Irr. Pratt, of Roswell, one of the moat distinguished chemists in the country, upon the *ubject of fertilizer*. Dr. Pratt was the dire..tvrer of the immense phosphate beds of South Carolina, and was the man who first devel oped them. He is known and esteemed throughout the United State* a« a man of the highest ability and integrity. He is now engaged in an effort to raise tlie vtock required to build a factory in Atlanta for the purpose of manufacturing fertilizer*, and of manufacturing the essentials used in fertilizer*. We present below some views given by him on the subject: “There is no subject.” he said, “of vaster interest to Georgia, and indeed to the whole wiutli, than the manufacture of fertilizers. Tlie immense quantity used, and the heavy coat, compared with the fact that all the money i* sent ont of the state, makes a heavy drain that should be stopped if it is possible. That it is possible I can very easily show. The first point to discuss is of fartilSers." OX FERTILIZERS. ’ "The basiriof all commercial fertilzers is phosphate of lime, which is the principal ingredient of bone. It is diflicult, however, to make this available, as lione is but elowly soluble in the soil. In order to hasten the decomposition and give immediate n -ult* we have, added to the bone, sulphuric acid. This mixture of ground bone and acid is usually called * snpe '-phosphate.' or 4 acid phiaphate,' etc. In order to uiake of it a guano, so called, there is added un ammonia salt, or some ammonia producing mi balance, and some |iota*li Mill, or potash containing substance, and these are intimately incorjior- ated with the acid phosphate. We see, therefore, that the only essential ele ments of the bcM commercial fertilizers art- pliospliatc of lime, made soluble by sul phuric acid, and ammonia and potash, or e <»r both of these substances.” •Where d:> these substances come from?” That i* a very important question, and the answer to it is the key b< this whole question. Well, I. the rirosniATK or LIME. “This is obtainable from various sourer s. It s taken from bone, either fresh or dry. It is taken from hone blood refuse that is ob- intities at sugar houses ■omen from some foreign guanos, and from coprolites or tlie dung of extinct animals. But most of all, and in almost tnexliaus Able quantities. it o roes from the native hone phosphates of S «uth Carolina. A few years ago the fertilizer companies of England and Conti nental Euro|*e were compelled to resort to the liattle-fields, such os Waterloo, and to tlie catacomb* of Egypt for supplies of bone. The discovery of the inexhaustible beds of native bone phosphate in South Carolina has changed all this, and these beds now supply literally the demand of the world. To give you some idea of the extent of this demand, I will state that last year, more than 200.000 tons of this phos phate, or over 500 ship loads, were ex|«ort- ed from Charleston and Beaufort, beside-* the 100.000 tons used in the Un'ted States. So that we have almost at our own door an inexhaustible supply of the phosphate of lime, the base of the commercial fertilizer. 2. THE SULPHURIC ACID. The sulphuric acid, which makes the lime in the phosphites readily available, is a very important element of the fertilizer. Indeed the same weight of acid and of bone * used in a ton of fertilizer— that a the most valuable of them. This acid is the troublesome component. It is danger ous to handle, it is expensive and risky to transport, and must be made on the spot where it is used—that is where it is to I e mixed with the bone The materials re quired to make this acid arc iron and coj>- at home, we insist on sending over three millions of dollars per annum ou» of the state. It is stranger still that we will sn* "U after year paying freight on the Scuth Carolina phosphates from them nes in Cm - lina to New York or Boston, and then hack in sacks, when we might bring it d'rec: fn m Carolina here. And that with an abun dance of iron pyrites at our very ban Is and bolding a dead' half-weight of sulphur, lib erated at a trifling cost, we imp >rt sulphur from Sicily. Why. it English manufac turers knew of this treasure here they would d"ubtle«s send for it and import it to make fertilizers of. With it at cor hands we neg lect to use it. Tlie state can never prosper until this policy is changed.” ATLANTA AND CHARLESTON CONTRASTED. ‘•Has not Charleston, however, advan tages over Atlanta in the manufacture of fertilizers?” Not at all. Atlanta ha* all the natural advantages of 1<-cation, etc. We have the advantage in coal, in the pyrites, in rail road facilities, and even in the phosphates themselves. One ton of raw bone from the ines to the Charleston factory cost* $1 freight; three dollars a ton will bring it to Atlanta. Now,if this ton of bone was made into the 2}{ tons of fertilizers at $4 per ton, the cost in sacks, it would be $10 freight cost, or $11 from the mines. The freight cost of the bone for the same from the mines would be $T> or $8 on every ton of Charleston phosphate used. In other words.it is cheaper to make the fertilizer right where it is needed, or as near there a* possi ble. So that you will see Atlanta has the advantage «vet> over Charlton—much more so over any other point.” ‘What amount of capital «i 1 be necessary to put up first-class chemical and fertilizer works here?” •That depends of course upon the size and extent of the works. For acid works the heavy cost is sheat lead, a* far as the manufacturing plant and the construction go. In 18G8 I had to pay 12cents per jiound for lead for the Ktiwan works In Charleston. In 1874, for other works, I paid 7-10 cents for lead, and I know that it can ow be bought for 5ii cent* per pound. It i now cheatier than ever before known, costing not half what it did in 1868. Lum ber, brick, and all building material, and especially lalior. are cheaper now than ever liefore, and of course now is the most favor able time to build. To sum up, acid works which iu 1868 cost $32,000 can now be built for $12,000. The other |>art of the plant is ordinary mill-work and machinery, and this can be bought and put up rlieaper than before. A capital of $20,000 cash would cover the cost of a plant to manufac ture 5,000 to 6,000 tons of fertilizers per annum. Tlie amount of commercial cap ital wonld of course depend on the style and extent of tlie business. In any con tingency, however, a capital of $100,000 would be ample to put un and operate a first-class plant that would make $250,000 i of fertilizer* per annum. If the peo ple only knew of the *afe and handsome profit in this to the stockholders, and the good that would result to the state, they would raise it in a week’s time.” OUR FOUR PER CENTS. Kimball's opera house, but u fine site bas lieen reserved for a state capitol, which will be erected a* anon as Georgia's finances jus tify the necessary expenditure. The imp utation of Atlanta is cosmopolitan, and nun! prejudice, which is very g in old, decaying towns like Aii- i, is almost unknown there. General Sherman really did a good thing for Atlan ta when he destroyed it, although he was severely blamed by the citizens at the time. He made bis first visit there since the war. hist winter, and was handsomely re td, though numerous joke* were )«rpe- trated about his former visit. One prngres- ■e ex-rebel, being ol ’ go away on the day maiketl t > a northern friei;d that he had always Ireen accustomed to “get up and dust" he.t Sherman came. Another jocosely o|»- •>«d giving Sherman the freedom of the tv bronre he made himself so——-—five More without that ceremony. Atlanta as one of the lrest ue**{>a|<ers i the south in Tux Coxammox, hich is itreigreMMve and out.-iiokru i its advocacy of wiiat that section needs i give it an equal chance in the onward march of the country. The colored people about Atlanta are well employed, increas ing their possrasions and developing virtue and intelligence. An excellent normal school for them is established iu the city, which bas recently received *>nw handsome endowments. Governor Colquitt, who lives in Atlauta. isj a Metli- list lav preacher, and ha* preached in loredcnurches several time* since he has been iu the governor’s cliair. Aln>gether, Atlanta, finely situated and surrounded by a good country-, with railruad* leading out in every direction, is one of the most pMsi>erous and progressive cities in the south. COLONS SCRUGGS. arid ie the Iron pyritesi It is pro! three-fourths of all used in the world is made from these pyrites, which contain half of their weight in sulphur. England niroRTs 300,000 tons or pyrites per annum, bringing it chiefly from Spain, Norway u some even frt United State*. It is the rarest thing to find acid work* in England, where sulphur used when the pyrites i* not used. France and the continent also consume larjic quantities. Much is used in the United States, though not so generally as in Eng land. The most of the sulphur used ... America is imported front the island of Sicily, in the Mediterranean. It is imported usually in the form of second quality, or ‘seconds’* a* it is called. The amount used annually is about 50,000 ton*. The nitrate of soda or salti»eter conies fm Chili and Peru. 3. AMMONIA SALTS. ‘The aniiuoiiiacal salt used for ag ricultural purposes is usually the sulphate of ammonia, made of sulphuric acia.and the gas liquor or tar water from the gas works. For every ton of coal burned at the gas works, 100 |iound* of sulphate of ammonia can be made. All animal sub stance*, such as offal from slaughter houses, fish, dried and ground, blood, refuse from tallow refineries, produce ammonia. So do cotton seed and cotton seed cake and (lax seed cake. 4. POTASH SALT*. “The potash salts couie from tlie potash (foemerly the “salt”) mines of Saxony, at Sta?sfurt, near Halle, under the name of German potadi salts, kainit, muriate of potash, etc., which of course vary in value and price. Fv«*ry farm though supplies the potash needed for ft-i tUizers, a* tlie ashes, from any hard wood will give about three pound* of potash to the bushel. It is rarely used therefore by the honest manufacturer. 5 WHAT OEORUIA CAN SHOW UP. “Are ary of these materials found in Georgia?” “Yes. sir; nearly, if not qnite all of them. In the first place we have the iron pyrites, which England iiii]H>rts at such enormous cost in inexhaustible quantity and every acce-s. In many place* the mines are already open and are ready for lifting the ore. It is :ound especially ih Folk, Hara s m. Lincoln, Columbia, Wilkes.

Special dispatch to The Constitution. LaGraxll.

Stephensville, Texas, April 15-—The particulars, as near a* can be ascertained, o’ the late shooting and murder in this region appear tobeas follow*: This(Erarh) county is one of the most recently settled in Texas, and is still regarded a* one of the frontier counties. One of the oldest residents of the countv is J. P. Holloway, who has heretofore passed as a quiet.orderly citizen, his family consisting of several sons and a daughter. It so happened that the county official had ‘paper*’’ for Rusk Holloway, one of old nan Holloway’s sons. Previously to exe cuting them, however, Duputy Sheriff W. II. King duly summoned three citizens—M. I>. Robertson, J. T. Ross and Eli Keith—to assist in service. Late in the eveninc Deputy King and party left the village of Stephensville and rode out some miles to the residence of old man Holloway, where they arrived in the midst of a prayer-meet ing in fnll blast. The deputy entered among the worshipers and inquired for Rusk Holloway, who was pointed out to him. The deputy then, walking up to the j*onng man, said: “Rusk, I have papers tor yon for unlaw ful carrying of a pistol, hut it is too dark to read them and I will state to you theirsub- stance. Have you any arms on T’ “Yes. but none of yonrsort will get them,” answered Rusk Holloway, at the same time THROWING BACK 1118 COAT and retreating. In a twinkling the deputy was surrounded by his enemies and Joe Holloway, a brother of Rusk, rushed np, seized one of the latter’s pistols, at the same time drawing it. • The official party now saw their danger. Ross, one of the sheriff’s party, threw up his hands and called for peace. Paying no attention to the request ku*k Holloway began shooting. For a few minutes it was like the first skirmish .of a small battle. King and liis friend. Robertson, ran around the house. Just a* he turned the corner a bullet struck him. and tlie unfortunate man, throwing un his hand-*, staggered a few paces and fell, the blood at the same time trickling out of the gory wound and flowing down his clothes. He was shot through, aud breathed his last just as Deputy King, under a heavy fire and the swift crack of pistols. stoo|>ed down and tuked him if he was hurt. The fight now amounted to a regular battle. The voice of prayer was hushed in the whiz of bullets, and tlie hang! bang! bang! of guns and pistols. In the meantime the smoke of gunpowder, and the groan* of the wounded and dying ascended together. Keith ami Ross, in the mid*t of a shower of bullets, ran around the oppdnitg side of the house. Just as he reached a small tree Ross fell, pierced by a ball. But, with his six- shooter still in his hand, the doomed victim rose to his knees, clung to the tree with one hand, and tried to shoot with the other. At this moment old man lfolb.wav and his daughter appeared on the scene of car nage, and hastening to where Ross lay clinging to' the tree, demanded the surren der of his six-shooter. Ro*t replied lie might have it, provided he would let him take out the one remaining cartridge. Hol loway and hi* daughter—the eye* of the girl flaming, and ber longhair floating on the south wind which blew away the smoke of the tight—then seized the pistol of the wounded man, and, by main force, wrenched it from his hands, enfeebled as they were through loss of blood. The old man then, like a fiend from hell, placed the muzzle of Ross’s own pistol against the side of the wounded man and fired. Ross, with a groan, fell overaml di d,his murderer cool I v extending the lifeless body on the ground, and, besmeared in blood.

St. Petersburg, April 14.—The would-be assassin of the czar is now undergoing exami nation. The full official account of the affair says: Toward* eight o’clock this morning as the emperor was taking his customary walk, a respectably dressed man wearing a military cap with' a cockade advanced toward him, and the emperor ap preached nearer, drew a revolver from a pocket in his overcoat and fired tour shots at him. The assas-in. before submitting to his captors, tired another shot slightly wounding on the cheek a {ierson in the crowd. The great throng of people which had assembled enthusiasti cally cheered and congratulated the em peror, who thanked them for their proofs of fidelity on such a {>ainful occasion. He said he knew he had the support of all re spectable people. He hoped God would grant that he might complete hi* task, which consisted in promoting the wel fare of Russia. The emperor, after the foregoing speech, drove the palace without an escort. He bas not suffered the least ill effect from the attempt upon his life. Afterwards he drove out without an escort to Kasean cathedral to return thanks for the pre>ervation of his life. When receiving the congratulation? of the officials of the empire at noon the ar was so much overcome by hi? enthusi- >tic reception as to be unable to speak for some minute*. On recovery from hi? emotion he said: “This is the third time God ha* saved nu*.” The em perors as?dilunt look t-oisoii before his attempt, as he vomited after his arrest.

An Interesting Sketch of His Life. General Ricliard Taylor, of the late federate army, and. only son of President Zachary Taylor, died of dropsy, on Satur day morning last, at the residence of his friend. General S. L. M. Barlow, in New York city. There were present at his bed side at tfte time of his death his sister, Mrs. Philip P. Dandridge. of Winchester, V and the members of General Barlow’s fam ily. Richard Taylor was born in New Or leans, January 26, 1826. He picked up French in Louisiana as a mother tongue. At Fort Snelling. in Minnesota, a missionary caught him when six or seven old, the only white boy in a school of . breed?. As his father moved front j»ost to post along the frontier, from Baton Rouge to Jefferson barracks, and thence to Fort Snelling, he accompanied him until his nineteenth year,.when his father sent him to Edinburgh, where he spent three years. Leaving Scotland he spent a year in Paris. Returning to America he received private tuitiou for two years front Mr. Brooks, of Lancaster, Mass., and entered the junior class at Y*»e in 1843. He was gradu ated in 1845. He went directly from col lege to his father’s camp on the Mexican frontier, and was attached person as a sort of military secretary or aid-de-camp. He was present at the battle* of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma and Monterey*. At the conclusion of the warh® went toCanada and E ngland, where he was received with great distinc tion. He resided on a cotton plantation be longing to his father in Jefferson county. Miss , until 1849, when he moved to a sugar estate in the parish of St. Charie?, abotft twenty miles above New Orleans, where he was living when the war broke out. In February, 1851, he married Myrthi Brin- gier, a lady of French extraction, of an old and powerful Creole family, who died in 1875, leaving him three daughters, who now reside in Winchester, Va., and having lost four sons. He was a delegate to the Charleston convention in 1860, and af terward to that at Baltimore, and was a member of the secession * convention of A BUTTER FARM. Wtmt an East Tennessee Man and an Atlanta Man are Doing. — along time Mr. R. A. Hemphill, of this city, has been handling a rich yellow butter that has been the delight of house keepers and the joy of epicures. Beyond the fact that it came from east Tennessee, was called “ Buhl butter,” and that the de mand always exceeded the supply, little was known about it. A TENNESSEE BUTTER FARM. Not long since one of The Constitution people was touring along the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, and hearing that the Buhl farm was near by, determined to go dut and take a look at it. Mr. D. \V. Buhl, the proprietor, is a young titan of 28 years of age, but he has what is probably the best dairy farm in the south. It is'aboul 500 acres of the richest meadow lands, tucked away snugly from tlie reach of the north winds by a circling chain of mountains, and watered by a clear,easy-flowing,winding river. There are no better'growing lands in America. Near the residence ami home is immense crystal spring, with a flow that inexhaustible, and is large enough to turn tnill-whecl. Mr. Buhl milks altout foYty cows, each tine of them being a first-class milker. He has carefully bred them up until the yield per day is simply enormous. One of the cows lias an udder that almost touches the ground when it full of milk. It is a pretty sight to sec a half dozen nten or Boys milking these patient cattle on a sum mer afternoon. The milk,just as soon as it is taken from the udder, is emptied into large cans and taken to a capacious spring- house where it is kept cool and still until the cream forms. Tlie cream is usually so rich that it is clotted and is several inches deep. Everything about tlie dairy and the churning-room is as clean a? anybody’s par lor, and the gutter is handled ilaintily and carefully* under the personal supervision of Mr. Buhl himself. The cows ure fed only the best of healthy aud but ter-producing food, aud the result is a sweet, fresh, richly colored butter that is worth two pounds to one of the ordinary flimsy, while-flunked stuff we see offered for sale. Mr. Buhl lias found his dairy farm such a paying investment that he has determined to double its capacity. Mr. R. A. Hemp hill handles all of liis butter and has fre quently paid him as much as $200 a month for butter. He, Mr. Hemphill, found the demand for this delicious Butter so much ahead of the supply that he went up to offer to assist Mr. Bulil in adding to the ca- of liis farm. They have arranged to etween GO and 100 cows in tlie future, and Mr. Hemphill will handle all the but ter made on the place, which will go up to several hundred pounds per week. He ts going to arrange a cooler in his store where the butter can be kept fresh and sweet dur ing the hot summer. The victim* of flimsy butter and olemarpirine will hail with de light this opportunity of alwa.vsget ting pure and reliable clover butter, we predict that Mr. Hemphill will sell every pound of this butter in \ tlanta. He will moke a gn at feature of his butter trade. BY A YOUNG LADY OF ATLANTA.

In addressing the grand jury, yesterday morning. Judge Hillyer directed their at tention to two subjects which have-caused wide-spread anxiety and apprehension in this community a* any others we can call to roiud. One of these was referred to in Our Native question w der the suggestive Ghouls.” The arti article about grave robbing, and i jury in calling the attention of the grand „ . to this crime Judge Hillyer said that there is a feeling of uneasiness throughout the community as to the safety of the mains of the dead in our cemetery, did not know to what extent this uneasi- prevailed, nor upon what sufficient grounds it was based, but that there exist serious apprehensions in many minds concerning the safety of the bodies of the dead he knew to be a fact. This is _ serious matter and one that ougiit to be investigated. If there is alack of security about the cemetery it should be made so and such steps should be taken make grave robbing as nearly an impossi ble act as practicable. If the graves there are secure and there is only the most ordi nary ground for fears of tnis kind the offi cers in charge should have the benefit of that announcement. This is a matter that come* home to the hearts of the people. It terrible thing to think of, that one’s dead are not safe from the touch of the robber and that the sanctity of the grave can be violated with impunity. The thought is one that wrings tlie heart ami distresses every principle of affection and reverence. It is a crime of despisable character and the grand jury should examine into the matter of its perpetration, or facility of per{tetra- tion, tn our midst. By their action the' might reform whatever evil exists now and if no more be necessary, at least give asst ranee and quiet to the public mind. If th grand jury should find that this feeling of uneasiness is unfounded it will calm it tc make public the want of foundatioi for such a fear. If the jury thought pru{>er they might appoint a committee of their body and specially delegate them to inquire upon this subject and make report at a fu ture convention of the body. our public buildings. There is another matter, said Judge Hilly* jo which he thought i*. pro|*er to direct tin inquiries. In agrowing city like this where churches, school-houses, public hulls and theaters are being reared, it sometimes hap pens that they are uot constructed upon principles of safety. It is a matter of vital importance that such buildings should be not only secure in their construction, but so adapted for safety and escape in emergencies as to satisfy public demand?. I^is something to cause tihe prudent man to consider and tremble when he contemplates the possibil ity in the community' of those great calam ities which from time to time horrify the country. He cited particularly the case of the fallen floor in the Richmond capitol, the fatal fire in the Richmond theater at the be ginning of this generation, wherein human London. Painful indeed is the porting. ’Tis a wretch ed fate that beckons her on. Could we detain her gladly wonld we do so, but her destiny seems marked out and she will blindly fqllow.

In a short time Extell was to have beer* the happy bride of Guy Linnard, voting heir to 1 tnnard estate, which wa* adjoining Lstell'* home. When children these two seemed to lie united by feeling? more than childish friendship, but at tlie ages of ten and fourteen they were each sent away to different schools. Once every year, how ever, they met at home, and at each meeting their early attiu-hment seemed ripening into a more mature love. After Estell’s education wa* completed she traveled two years with her uncle. At the expi ration of that time she returned home a beauti ful and accomplished young lady, and wnsjoy- ouslv welcomed by her once boy-lover, then a handsome young man, whom the feminine world looked upon with admiring eyea, and the mascu line race acknowledged superior in every way to the majority of men. He had recently coma into possession of his father's immense wealth by the death of the Utter. This hnlf developed love, which had sprung up spontaneously between the two when children, assumed a more anient form at this meeting, ana an early day was set apart for their mamage, when Lstell received the hasty summons of which we have spoken. Early in the light, a maid wi pare her for her journey, when, to her surprise and bewilderment, she found her young mistrem had not occupied her room the night previoua With vague apprehensions she descends tne stairs; seeing tlie door ajar, looks out, and there reclined Estell upon a rustic seat, near which •■er. the early morning 1 owing tresses, and the a pillow l«r her head—a lovely picture, which a rtist woul 1 with delight have gazed upon.

She and her father sprang into the carriage, whirled away, and were soon lost from sight, each unconsciously rushing into a sad fate. We will not pursue them, but remain at their home a short time. Before Estell received the intelligence of her tide's illness, an aunt and cousin had been in vited front London to simml tlie summer with her. They were expected the same day on which K?tell de]«rted. A message had been left stating why they went away so suddenly and requesting tlie guest? to remain until their return. A striking resemblance was noticeable between Estell and her cousin, Ethel Gray—a resemblance only in form and features, for in dispositions they could not have been more unlike. Estell was timid and gentle in her manners, kind and affec- tioimt - by nature, whilst Ethel was rather bold and abrupt, and affectionate only when it was os- imed to accomplish some purpose.

The decision of Commissioner Raum, on th® ~onds issued by the state of Georgia, wa* exactly in accordance with the point made by the Ameri can—that if a state could, os was not disputed, issue a thousand dollar in tereat-tteoring bond, due in the future, it could issue a five dollar bond. The logic was irresistible. The legality of the one being granted, the legality of tho other followed as a necessary conclusion. To attack the legality of the small bonds, it would have been Decenary to hold the illegality of the large bonds. Thut settles on Important point for the states which have financial standing and the sound judgment to popularize their own i*ucs at home. One incentive to the issue of such bonds—that they may become a circulating me dium—we do not regard as having a great deal of weight, because interest-bearing notes will sel dom, if ever, circulate n* currency. The only case we can conceive in wb f ’b they will, or may ibly circulate, is wheielh® demand for money great, and the price it »til command so high* that the market value of the small intcrcst-lieor- Ing bond* will fall to par with currency and not be sought for. and command a premium as an in vestment. The experiment Is worth trying, how ever, in that respect, and especially since on an other ground such a popular loan is every way de sirable. 8uc.h a loan will enable the state to util ize all its surplus capital. Money, which would lie idle because men have not a sufficient amount to invest in large bonds, and will not, as manv will not venture it In private loans, will be in vested In these small interest-bearing securities. Tlie example of Georgia is one which commends _self to Tennessee. When this state fully realizes and manifests to the world that its obligations are mat enlightened financial policy, it will be in order to negotiate small bonds, which Will keep the Interest V» be paid on our public debt at home instead of going abroad. If finan cial wisdom had dictated our course, instead of financial folly, wc might now have our debt in small bonds, a huge portion of it held at home. It is almost sickening to reflect that Tennessee with ber unexampled resources, dwarfing those of Georgia into insignificance, and standing by her representatives in congress b°»h house and senate among the first, in political wisdom and occupying position* of honor and high trust, having weight In national councils, should yet occupy a very low place in finance, the most important of all. We ray the most important, because the manner of dealing with our finances will soon or late color and give tone to our politics and fix onr standing abroad. The low credit party under stand this better than intelligent people of the state. They know that their opportunity is drag ging the state down until they shall become ita fit representative*. As we are at home so shall wo become abroad. The people have manifested » determination to stand well In their political ra- itation abroad, but qo sure as financial foilf Jy established at home as the ruling princi ple. so surely shall we be represented abroad by those who accord with the home sentiment and descend from our high place. If in the past financial wisdom had controlled, we would now have our finances in a condition in which they could be easily managed, and onr inancial and iwlitical condition _ d, nnd onr leadership in the south assured. Instead of taking that course, we have allowed the state to run down at the heel and Georgia and Alabama to take tho lead in wise finance, as they will take the lead in politics, un less we retrieve our errors in the future.
