Club i of twenty, $20, and a copy to the getter op the club. WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, SIX MONTHS. 51.00 ATLANTA, GA??? DECEMBER 20,1881. That suicide is prevalent in the lower animal creation is a subject that has not sug gested itself to many minds, and yet that such is the case seems to be now admitted in some quarters. The Denver Republican grows somewhat enthusiastic over the business enterprise and push of Atlanta and does us the honor of comparing us to a western town. If the Republican will just give us a little more time we will even out-west the west. MR. MOULTON'S ADDRESS. If the exposition had done nothing more than evoke the six addresses in practical agriculture and manufactures that have been delivered in Judges??? hall by Messrs. Atkinson, Loring, Riley, Morcliead and Moulton, this alone would have been worth all the trouble and expense the exposition has cost These addresses have all been admirable, but we must say that Mr. Moulton???s, which we print this morning, is in many respects the neatest, most auggesdive and interesting of them all. Mr. Moulton has the advantage of having touched upon matters that apjieal directly to the popular taste and touch the popular chord. Where lie has been obliged to use statistics lie has adapted them so charmingly that even the lightest reader will not fail to read his address through and read it enjoyingly. In conclusion, Mr. Moulton spoke most eloquently and said: I wish It were possible for me to name the names of all who have assisted to the success of the grand exposition, and to clothe them with the glow of gratitude and praise which should surround them. May the blessing and benlson of heaven cover your cotton fields with n mantle of white, and gild your grain fields with a golden halo and enter your homes to bless you, and go with you to lay the foundations of your school houses and be with you in the bu tiding of your churches, and rest upon us all until we feel the throbs of that perfect brother hood that will mako your homes and hopes ours also, and until the north, south, east and west shall chant together the anthem of a reunited nation??? ???The Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not want. He maketh us to lie down in green pastures and leadetli usjbeslde the stilj waters " THE DOO INDUSTRY. Wo have often been puzzled to account for the fact that all the arguments brought for ward in favor of a dog law failed to have any perceptible effect upon the members of the Georgia legislature. It is freely acknowledged that but for the dogs in Georgia sheep raising would soon become a profitable industry, but in spite of this the men who are supposed to be interested in the welfare of the Georgia farmer refuse to place a repressive tax on the dog. The dog show now in progress in this city, however, has solved the problem, and wo are puzzled no longer. The only wonder is that the members of the legislature have not had tho hardihood to publicly acknowl edge tlso truth. If the curious reader will refer to tho list of distinguished dogs printed in The Constitution yesterday, a simple calculation will convince him that an ordi nary bob-tailed brindlc cur, whoso pedigree con be traced down a lane and across a horso- lot, is worth more than twenty ordinary sheep. A pointer, with the ability to forage in the neighborhood and bring homo a chicken oc casionally is of inestimable value, and a set ter that ???sets??? in the back yard and howls at tho mcTon is worth more than the Sunday breastpin of a hotel clerk. The dogs now on -exhibition at the dog show are worth more than all tho sheep in Georgia. One lady dog and a litter of puppies, if sold for what thfy .are worth, would buy an improved farm of ???500 acres, nnd 1,250 sheep. All this goes to show that our legislators are better informed as to what constitutes true indus trial progress in Georgia than the newspapers. A man with two liver-oolored pointers and a bench-legged whiffet is a millionaire, and the only wonder is that every citizen doesn???t avail himself of this simple method of getting rich. A colored citizen, with a sihgle- Itarreled shot-gun and a bob-tailed mongrel, has property amounting to five hundred dol lars provided he is willing to put his distin guished mongrel on the market. IVc are in formed by Colonel Hightower that an attempt was made to buy a thousand dollar dog. The offer was refused principally because the would-be purchaser offered two tortoise-shell tliomas cats worth five hundred dollars each. The trade, we are glad to say, was not consum mated, so that no precedent can hereafter be set op that one inestimable thousand dollar dog can be bought with two five hundred dollar thomas-cats. We are very proud of the dog show. It has opened our eyes to new possibilities of wealth. tVe are no longer iu favor of a dog law. Such a law, by crippling the dog industry, would keep our people in a state of abject poverty so far as dogs aro concerned. We want to sec the day come when every man is his own millionaire, and if the prices of dogs keep up to the present standard that day will soon arrive. In boasting of their majority in congress our re publican frionds are inclined to forget that in those days of progressive parliamemary^acties a minority is a very tough affair to fool with. A MAHONE MOVEMENT IN GEORGIA All of a sudden, there is a considerable stir and flutter among tho leaders and organs of republican opinion as to whoshall be selected as the Maltone of Georgia politics, and this stir and flatter have, by some means, been communicated to those who are not leaders and organs of republican opinion.- A Wash ington correspondent of the New York Sun, for instance, commenting on the result in Virginia, says that ???in Georgia a similar state ???of things is expected to develop at no dis tant day,??? and adds: ???The names of demo- ???cratsmore or less conspicuous are men- ???tioned who are expected to take the lead. Merely as a piece of gossip, this is interesting, of course, but we think it would be difficult to find any conspicuous democrat willing to take tire responsibility of carrying his follow ing, whether it be large or small, into the republican camp, as Mahone has done. Moreover, we feel justified in saying that the leaders of the republican party will not trust their programme for breaking up the demo cratic party in Georgia to one who has here tofore been an avowed democrat. Indeed, we are in receipt of private advices from Washington, from a source tliat may be deemed reliable, which put an entirely dif ferent face on the matter. We are informed that the administration, after consultation with the republican leaders, has about con cluded to entrust the work of Mahonizing Georgia to the bands of Colonel Marcellos E. Thornton, the well known independent poli tician and journalist. Our information is to the effect that the details of this arrangement, which have been under adviseraent.for several weeks, are now about completed, and that when Colonel Thornton, who is nowin Wash ington, returns to Georgia, he will return backed by the power and patronage of the administration, and will at once proceed to inaugurate a campaign which has already been carefully planned and organized, and which has received the sanction of the ablest republican leaders. The nature of this programme is of course a matter of mere conjecture, but there seems to lie no reason to doubt that Colonel Thornton has been selected by the administration to take charge of a movement in Georgia similar in many respects to that which has made Ma hone successful in Virginia. Our private advices from Washington are not lacking in corroborative symptoms here at home, for it is a well known fact that while Colonel Thornton is perfectly able to take charge of and manage his recently acquired newspaper, he has preferred to employ the services of an editor, thus leaving himself free to take the field in person whenever the proposed cam paign shall be inaugurated. This, of itself, is, to our minds, conclusive evidence that Colo nel Thornton proposes to engage in what may be termed out-door politics. There are many reasons why Colonel Thorn ton should be selected by the administra tion to head a Mahons move ment in Georgia. He is the originator and leader of independentism not only in Georgia, but in the south. When Mahone was bossing and bulldozing around the polls as a -last-ditch democrat, Colonel Thornton was leading the forlorn hope of in dependentism in Georgia, and his record in this respect, has been consistent all the way through. Defeat has not subdued him, and the unsympathetic attitude of other so-called independents has not cooled his ardor. As far back as 1370, Colonel Thornton was preaching independentism in Georgia, and it is more than probable that his influence led to the little flurry of disorganization which occurred in two of the congressional districts of the state. Jealousy and envy are not un known to politics, amf to these manifesta tions of the results of human frailty must be attributed the fact that Colonel Thornton has not heretofore received from his fellow- independents the recognition due alike to liis position and his services. All this, however, will he changed when Colonel Thornton, as he is likely to do, returns to Georgia backed by the favors and patronage of the administration. The elements of in dependentism which hove heretofore given him the cold 6hou???der will flock to his stan dard nnd be glad to acknowledge him as their leader. As we have already said, we have no means of knowing what Colonel Thornton's pro gramme will be, but there seems to be no doubt that he will be selected by the admin istration to gather up the loose ends of inde pendentism in Georgia and organize a party which has for its aim the destruction of the solid democracy; and the fact that he is fore doomed to failure will not prevent him from making an active and a vigorous campaign. In the meantime, we shall see what we shall GEORGIA IN CONGRESS. When the senate met on Monday of last week, both of the Georgia senators were iu their seats. Mr. Hill introduced, by request, a bill In relation to the Venezuela awards. When the house met, for the first time every Georgia member was in his seat, and iu the first roll-call, as reported in the Record, the names of Mr. Hammond and Mr. Stephens are officially spelled with variations. All nine voted for Mr. Randall. Wliile;the swearing In of mem bers was going on, Mr. Hammond objected to the swearing in of Mr. Van Voorhis, of New York, who had been very officious in raising objections to the certificates of southern members. Mr. Hammond afterwards, however, withdrew his objection, and the New York member was sworn in. Senator Brown introduced on the second day of the session a bill to provide for the settlement of government accounts with certain railroad compa nies in the south. Mr. Brown asked to have it referred to the military committee, but Mr. Edmunds thought that ???old southern railroad af fair??? should go to the committee ou claims, and Mr. Brown acquiesced in such a reference. On Wednesday, Mr. Brown obtained unanimous consent to introduce a bill to repay to Georgia $27.- 175.50, money advanced by the state for the defense of her frontiers against the Indians from 1795 to 1815. The bill was referred to the committee on claims. He also introduced a bill to confer jurisdiction on the court of claims, to hear and determine the claim of David R. Dillon, of New York. The claim Is for the use of the steamer Amazon. After a con siderable tussel between Mr. Brown and Mr. Hoar, the hill was referred to the judiciary coiAnlttee. The house met on Friday last, hut soon ad journed to Tuesday of this week. Mr. Stephens was appointed a member of the select committee ou the death of President Garfield. He presented some papers relating to the claim of Mrs. C. P. Cul ver. The senate adjourned from Thursday to Mon day of this week. If Flipper is crowded ont of the army and Pledger fails to get an office, the colored brother will begin to think it is time to start another sympathetic exodus. The colored brethren in Georgia now see where they missed it in not sending a solid Grant delega tion to Chicago. None of the 306 are to be left out in the cold. AT THE EXPOSITION. FACTS AND INCIDENTS OF THE DAY NOTED. A Lively Time at tho Grounds???Award or Premiums Successful Competitors???Preparing a Recep tion for Hon. Jaaps G. Elaine-Some of the Si^ibits???Exposition Notes. Many farmers say they will plant more com next year. These are not the intentions of spring. When the present crop of cotton is safely out of the bands of the producers prices will go up with a venomous bounce, and then our gifted husband men will plow up the com they have planted and proceed to scatter their cotton 6eed over the face of nature. According to Albert Lamar, Cramp stirred red liquor in the stewed prunes and made the oranges dropsical with mm during the administration. The testimony of several well known statesmen goes to show that a spoonful of stewed prunes and one orange contained the ingredients of a whole night???s debauch. Owing to a series of accidents in the St. Louis jail .there are now no crimes committed in that city. This fact furnishes a wholesome suggestion to other cities. Alter all, it is a comparatively easy matter to suppress crime. The Augusta Chronicle proposes this plank for the democratic platform: ???A tariff, not for the in terests of a section, but the welfare of a whole republic.??? Ouresteemed contemporary seems to be getting down to business. The lion. ???Jim Maine.??? A. - GRAND RECEPTION PREPARED FOR HIM???A BIG / TIME AND A GOOD ONE. Mr. J. G. Blaine, ex-secretary of state. Is expected to reach this city on next Wednesday. A party of gentleman covering all classes of our business and professional men.and all shades of poli tics and sentiment met at the city headquarters of the exposition committee room on Friday night to take steps toward a befitting reception to this distin guished visitor. Tho feeling was enthusiastic and it was deter mined to make the reception entirely worthy. The details are. not filled out but the main feature of the visit will be a superb banquet, tendered by the people of Atlanta to Jlr. Blaine in Judges' half. There will be plates for 300 guests and the menu cards, the table decorations and the banquet itself will be the most elaborate ever seen in this citv. Mr. Blaine will be entertained by Senator Hill who will come south with him. All the time of the ex- sceretary while in the city will be taken up with small receptions, dinings, etc. Mr. Blaine will be accompanied by twelve of the most prominent capi talists of the north, and it is presumed thev will be ou the lookout for investments. The details of the programme will be published iu due time. Announcement of Awards Made by Director-General Kimball, in Jo dec.' Halt, at S p. m. Saturday. The plan of awards adopted by the International cotton exposition is practically the same as that adopted by the centennial, which is acknowledged to have been the most successful and rati-factory of any exhibition, viz: the careful and critical exam ination of all exhibits and a speclGc statement from an expert of the peculiar advantagos of each, and a certificate of those awarded as the highest, to be conferred upon successful exhibitors in all the de partments. For the purpose of encouraging the collection of minerals and woods, also of agricul tural products, the executive committee offered cer tain cash premiums to be awarded, under the de cision of the judges, to accompany the certificates of award; also, iu the department of machinery for (he preparation and manufacture of cotton, special cash premiums were ottered. One hundred and twelve judges have been diligently at work'for the past two weaks in the examination of the different exhibits. A number of reports have been made and approved and arc hereinafter promulgated. It will be observed that in some Instances unusual excellence and merit was so apparent to the judges that they have recommended cash premiums, and in other instances gold medals of various orders. The exteutive committee have, however, determined to make no changes lu that respect in the premium list published, and while they are pleased to note the recommendations of the judges as evidences of the great value, beauty and excellence of the ex hibition and in that reason consent to the present ing of the reports of the judges as written, thev do not consent to the payment of any premiums or issuing of any medals not authorized by the pub lished premium list.

Tlmt Astonishes the People of New Jersey. Marldoro, N. J., December 15.???The finding of the remains of the large sea serpent in the marl pit of O. C. Herbert at this place last w - eek was supple mented yesterday by the discovery of the remains of unother one. The find of yesterday was somewhat decomposed, and only two large tusks nnd portions of the jawbone of the reptile were found preserved, the other bones crumbling to pieces when exposed to the air. Tlte bones found Inst week are all well preserved, and the tusks arc remarkable for their size aud line natural polish. Professor Samuel Lockwood eives the following de scription of the reptile: ???It was a mon ster great of bnlk. 11 hadjtwo paddles well forward and two behind, the body being short and stout. The bones of the paddles, from their size nnd so lidity, indicate extraordinary propelling power. The tail was stout, long and serpertlne, but a little flatfish, thus affording great aid iu propulsion by a sculling movement. The neck was long, and yet thick enough to support the head high out of water while the monster was engaged in devouring its prey. The huge jaws werearmed with tusks which were more formidable than those of the crocodile. The lower jaw was very singular in structure, and had a joint like an elbow. In the act of swallow ing the reptile could enlarge its gullet by meant! of this elbow joint. The act of swallowing was ne cessarily slow, and the reptile nodouht would have had great trouble in retaining in its mouth its strug gling prey if it had not been for a supplementary jaw which was used as a grapnel. This was armed with small teeth, which were curved in shape and very sharp. As the large j:lws, with their great tusks, were beingnpened sous to obtain a new hold the little grapnel jaw held the struggling prey List, and the movements alternated until the fish or other prey was forced down the great throat.??? The only Doses of this monster reptile of the antedilu vian age known are those found in the marl pits of Mr. Herbert, and no name has yet been found for it by the-scientists. Tha Agricultural Utovt Washington, D. C., December 15.???The depart ment of agriculture reports that the condition of the cotton crop as reported to the department is lower than in any season since 1866. The general average of condition in October, which, with cer tain limitation, affords the best indication of the-ul timate product, was in 1866. The-nearest approach to this fignre in fifteen years was in the short crop year of 1874. when the average lass was 72. In June and July the crop was within five points of the standard of last year, when a revere and general drought set lu, reducing heavily the prospect, causing premature development of bolls an<l arrest of growth. Blight and rust naturally resulted when the rains came. The second growth was toe-late to produce much fruit. In additioe to drought there was loss from boll worms and ranch more f-som caterpillars. The latter were reported in the southern aud middle counties of South Car olina, many -of the western and southwestern counties of Georgia, eastern and middle Alabama, river districts of Mississippi, a few scattered tracks in Louisiana and Arkansas and eastern and southern Texas. No reports were received from Tetinesseennd North Carolina. December returns of product compared with lost year aie as follows: North Carolina-71: South Carolina, 77; Georgia, 80; Florida, 92: Abihamu,S3; Missfc-sippi,7:>; Louisiana, S3;: Texas, 66; Arkansas, 50; and Tennessee 53. The returns of the condition in October and the yield per acre, estimated iu November, are more favora ble than Di-ceaober. The returns of the compara tive product, which are usually conservative nnd somewhat lower than the outcome warrant. Toking the reports of the season together tip to December 1, the indications point to a crop of abont 4,900.000 hales and a somewhat higher product appears to be possible. him Lord Lome .Met til* Wife, London Letter to the Toronto Mail.

Accordingly, attended by Westmin ster. her host, her brother and sister-in-law, Lord and Lady Walter Campbell, Lady Marnnmura, and Lady Beatrice Cavendish the duke of Westminster???s married daughter, the princess at c-rsce proceeded to Birkenhead, where they were received by the corporate officials, and embarked ou the Allan Line's tender gtonacock, temporarily undercharge of Mr. Robert Ailaa. one of the chiefs of the firm, HaTdly had the little Stormoock got well under way when the black smoke of the advancing Sar dinian are seen off New Brighton.

C2arkc and Gajler Have a Disrate over tbo Keguired Intensity of a Stage Hiss and What it Should Consist of???Osculation on the Boards as Food for Fun, Etc. New York Herald. The actor's lounging place in Union Square was the scene of a violent disturbance yesterday after noon. Mr. George Clarke and Mr. Frank Gayler -were the cause of the commotion, and they changed the usual quiet of the place into one of intense ex citement with the rapidity of a pantomime trick. It appeurs that bad blood has been brewing between the two men for some time. It was the outcome of one of the dramatic failures of the season. Accu sation. recriminations and loud talk had culmi nated in a personal encounter. Many actors who were on the sidewalk were inclined to make fun of it and turn it to their own amusement, but the more sensible men of the profession stopped the quarrel and withdrew the combatants. There was no ring no pitched battle, there was no swords or pistols, but some blood was spilt. No doubt It might have been much more serious had the fiery ghfdiators been allowed to eonti rue their combat, and there Is no saying but that a stretcher might have been needed before they got through, if not a hearse or two. In his account of the affair given to a reporter of the Herald soon u#er It occurred Mr. George Clarke said: ???Ldrew gore, sir. Yes, gore, copious drafts of gore, and I would have drawn more hnd I been permitted. I was attacked unawares, but I have a quick nerve and stendv hand, so I sailel in the minute I got the cue. I had only just come ont of Mr. Palmer's theatre, where I had been playing 'Frou-Frou' with Miss Agnes Ethel for the benefit of the Poe memorial. She and l u cre tho origiuals, you know, and I was in capital spirits. Indeed, and thinking over the time when wo used to play tin- piece in Mr Daly???s little theatre, which stood where the Madison Square theatre docs now. All of n sudden Mr. Gayler interrupted ray re very b>* a quick attack with a stick, and I returned the salute on his nose. I continued to ham mer around the region of that organ until I wus hauled off, but in the time that I was allowed I managed to min his appearance, a gold headed cane, presented to me by Mr. Charles Dickens when he was in this country, and a clean pair of cuffs. All this trouble grew out of the Connie Soogah company. The father of tho young man who tried to stab me with the walking-caue came to me last -summer aud proposed a combination wrtn Barney Williams??? old play and myself as the star. He represented that he possessed a variety of acquirements that fitted him out as a most excep tional manager, and I foolishly entered into the ar rangement. 1 was not long out before 1 learned that Gayler hnd none of the qualities he boasted so much about, aud that he had muddled his business up so that it was imjiOKsible to get it into any kind of shape. He took us into forty eight towns in sev enty-two days, auil .he created dissensions among the company that finally broke us up. He was not alone in that latter part of the business. No, in deed; hcwusabiyand vigorously assisted by the entire family, including tne bill youth who dev eloped such an up]>ctite for my vitals this after noon. ??? ???Who supplied the money ???? ???I did. 1 lost $1,000 by the operation besides my time. We were out thirteen weeks, and in that time we had six different young ladies to piny the opposite part to me.??? ???Was not this your fault???? ???No, sir; I did all in my power to make tho peo ple comfortable and happy, and t appeal to them whether 1 did my duty as an actor and a gentle man.??? ???Mr. Gayler eomploiued that you introduced too much kissing iu the business of the play.??? ???He did, but he was wrong. 1 introduced no more than was demanded l??y ihe business of the play. None of the ladies who played with me wilt say otherwise, I am sore. I only showed the uudi- euce what a man would do under certain circum stances. and I tried to be as natural as possible. The audiences invariably bote me out in my views and applau-???ed me generously.??? ???Audiences like live scenes as a rule???? ???They do, and they like to see them well acted.??? ???Miss Jennie Yeamans left because of Mr. Guy- ler???s complulnts about the kissing, did she not???? ???No. sir: she- left because they had refused to pay the expressage ou a parcel she had received from home. Miss Yeamans is u charming young lady???as modest und refined as she is clever us an actress.??? ???It ts reported that there was a good deal of trouble with you about your mustache???? ???That is also without foundation. I cut off my mustache wsthout a grin when it became necessary, but I am ready to part with it any time that the re quirements of my art demand it.- A man docs not always part with his mustache willingly, i must con fess to some lingering regrets, but when it comes to the point I brace myself nnd???shed it.??? ???Did any of the six young ladies object to vour enthusiasm hr the matter of kissing???? ???Hold ou; I am not enthusiastic on the subject, not at all. 1 do it iu the way of business, nothing more." ???But don't you sometimes regard it as rather pleasant business?" ???With an actor, sir, it means nothing. When an actor Is playing a part and becomes lost in the cha racter, he bus no part In what transpires. He might as well be kissing an old- man asfa young woman.??? ???With the difference of the heard.??? ???Weir, yes that might destroy the Illusion and call a nmn back to himself for a minute, but it would pass away again Hite a flash.??? ???These love scenes look very lute rest! ng from the front of the house, particularly when the ladles are attractive." ???Of course; it Is our art to make them so. Pecpte in front df the house think we are having a tine time of it, und really we are utterly unconscious of what ls passing.??? . "\ou never kissed Mr. Gayler in the wav of busi ness or that???? ???No-, sir; nor any member of his family. They ire not actors, you see.??? "Who is the most artistic kisser on the stage, Mr. Clarke?" ???I eun???t tell you now, but there is as much differ ence in stage kisses as there-is in hukeil beojis.??? ???Then there was none of this in the Coooey Soogah company???? ???None whatever. Since we-broke up and came home the Gaylers have been trying to throw out all eortanf instil nations to annoy the members of the uumt any. but they are pure inventions.??? Mho stopped the light this afternoon???? ???Mr. Henry riripp and Ben Mnginlev. Gayler has been waiting for me for sometime, and os soon as he saw me in front of tire theater lie da-bed at rac.
