W. W. Montgomery.—This able jurist, an ex-associhte justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia is a candidate for the office of Judge of the United States District court made vacant by the death of Judge McKay. His many friends ate anxious for his appointment to the fjosition sought. “The Switzerland of America” is un doubtedly grand and glorious, but several of our citizens, who love to be nearer to Augusta, declares that Grove- town and Richmond Bath are the most exhilarating health resorts on earth. There may be some exaggeration in this saying of the Chronicle but they are healthy and delightful places withal. Cutting's Case.—Some accounts represent that Cutting does not stand well with Americans or Mexicans. He was publishing a paper in El Paso, Texas, and it is stated slandered a Mexican. He was allowed to go free by making a -written retraction and returning to El Paso he republished the article and making it worse re turned to Paso del Norte and sold there the papers containing it. He was re-arrested and placed in jail.

Therefore it will be necessary for those w T ho are liable to these taxes to dispose of their stock on hand by that date, unless they desire to continue in the business. Trial of the Anarchists. BRITISH TRADE. A London dispatch of August 3rd, says, the condition of the working classes has greatly improved in the last twenty years and competition, both in home and foreign trade, is greatly increased. All accounts put England high up in trade, commerce, and the increase of home wealth. This is the report of the oondition of Free Trade England. Depression in everything exists in high protective America. There are two simple prin ciples in political economy that are forbidden in the United States. One is that a people should be allowed to purchase goods where they can ob tain them cheapest, and the other is, nations prosper must who exchange commodities. Both are forbidden by our laws. This policy causes us to violate another plain and simple prop osition of political economy, namely r , that w r e ought not to frame a national system that makes the rich richer, and the poor poorer. Our govern ment has been, and is doing that very thing. The Irish Question. The new Premier seems, like the the Queen, to dwell upon the idea of maintaining the integrity of the Em pire, as if that would be endangered by doing justice to Ireland. Mr. Glad stone invariably contended for the in tegrity of the Empire and thought the best way to maintain that integri ty was to be just to Ireland and all the other parts of the country. The best way to maintain the integrity of the empire he thought was to be just to all its parts. Justice to Ireland would secure the rest and good will of that component part of the Empire. That is one of the leading ideas in the policy of the late Premier. The views of the new Premier may have under gone some change. Secret promises or revelations may have had much to do in defeating the late Premier. Saulsbury cannot long keep secret Bis purposes. When they are known and openly promulged the people will be able to see whether he has gained power^by false promises. If he has, the just sentiments advocated by Mr. Gladstone will rapidly add to the pul> lie confidence and soon overthrow the temporary ascendency of Saulsbury and those who pin their faith to his counsels. We think that the English people are growing tired of dishonesty and trickery in their rulers. There are many grains of honesty in the English character and the sentiment is growing in that country that real pure honesty is the shortest road in their present and future good. The developments of the near future will enable us to decide whether the new rule is a precarious and lawless powrer or a spirit of greater justice to the ad ministration of ;the affairs of the realm and especially those of the op- S ressed Irish. We do not doubt that [r. Gladstone -would take pleasure in supporting the new r Minister, if he shall rise to the necessity of a change for the better. Indeed he would en joy the praise of having forced a change for the better by his persistent efforts to effect it. The MfotcrieR of the Universe. Among all intelligent people the old idea that the planet on which we live, called the Earth, is the centre of what is called the Universe, is exploded by physical science. That reveals the fact that in our solar system there are many planets, large and small, controled by a single sun which re volves around it, all having their days and nights and seasons, longer or shorter, according to their sizes and distances from the great central orb. Jupiter, the largest of the planets in this solar system, is estimated to be from 1200 to 1350 times as large as the earth and nearly five hundred mil lions of miles from the sun, while the earth, which we inhabit, is only nine ty-five millions. Saturn, the next lar gest planet, is about 700 to 750 tiihes as large as the earth. There are over 200 planets, large and small, in our so lar system. Jupiter has four moons and Saturn seven. The planets in our solar system number over 300 and the sun is situated exactly in the centre of them. From the sun to the outermost planet is eighteen thous and -millions of miles. This consti tutes only one of the great solar sys tems. No conception can be formed of the number, as millions of suns, that may be seen, exhibit countless numbers of satelites, and myriads of existing .suns cannot be seen by the naked eye, or with the assistance of the largest telescopes. Way in the vast extent of space are suns and worlds that were never seen by any eye, but that of their omnipotent ma- significant then, the opinions of those who imagine that all these suns that exist in God’s endless and eternal uni verse were made to give light to the little grain of earth upon which we live and move. The heavens consti tute a miracle of wonders beyond the grasp of beings upon this earth and comprehensible only to their Omnipo tent Maker. I * ^ Public Opinion—South and West. The tides of opinion at the South and West are flowing more rapidly and higher, on the question of the tariff and money, than ever before. It is hightide at the South on the tar iff question, and the money question, These are the two great absorbing questions of the day. On both the South is a unit. The great West is rapidly wheeling into the anti-tariff ranks, and brist ling with opposition to the gold mo nopolists of the North. The South is as firm and immutable as the pole star in the heavens, and the great West is approximating her and will soon stand by her with unshrinking firmness. If this opinion fails to be realized, we shall loSe all confidence in signs, and the virtuous hardihood of the corn and wheat growers of the West. The people of the South and West are being rapidly drawn to gether by the affinities of occupation and the common sufferings they en dure. The West is forced to deplete its pocket-nerve as well as the South, to meet the demands of the hundred year-old infants who still cry, give us more pap or we die. We welcome the West to our embrace in the war against the robbers. The people of the West are suffering, if possible, more than the South and they are be ginning to see it with just indignation Soldiers of the Mexican War. The soldiers and sailors, who served in the Mexican war, haye been treat ed shamefully. The House passed a bill to pension them and sent it to the Senate? That body, instead of passing it, passed a bill of its own and thus no relief is afforded them. But few are left and it seems as if those few are to go like the rest, un aided to their graves. This is abso lutely disgraceful to our Government. The United States obtained an em pire in land besides a considerable sum in money from Mexico, and for more than forty years her soldiers, many of whom returned penniless, from* the war, have been denied the pensions to which they were entitled. If our Government were poor and struggling for existence, there might be some excuse for neglectiug the brave soldiers who risked life and for tune for their country. We fear that those of us, connected with the press, have not done our duty in the premises. Heartless ingratitude is held in contempt among right-think ing men, but when a government strong, powerful and rich exhibits it in withholding a pittance from brave men who endured all the hardships of war, many hobbling from wounds that never healed and suffering for the necessaries of life, they are physi cally unable to acquire, that govern ment tramples on the principles of humanity and justice. Si|ch conducff would degrade a Turkish bey or a cham of Tartary. Occasionally, for more than thirty years, we have lis tened to the complaints of soldiers who were in the Mexican war, making inquiries of the writer, as to the ac tion of our government in their be- ] half. Most of them have fallen victims to time and want, and the balance are still waiting upon the unpitying tardiness of a government that has again left them to struggle on with out just relief or pity, for nearly half a century. Of course our remarks have reference only to the poor, sol diers, and not to those who wore the uniforms with ample purses, and oth ers, who were independent of the Na tional purse. NEWSPAPERS BORROWERS. Do you ever think, as week after week you borrow your neighbor's pa per, how the man who publishes the paper would live if every body did as you do? Jgst imagine yourself in the the publisher’s place, and see how you would like some fellow to come to your house every Sunday regular ly week after week from one year's end to that of the next, and borrow a j loaf of bread and take it away and eat it without making you any re-; turn. • True you don’t eat the news paper you borrow, but you do- eve ry mother’s son of you do—-rob the printer by borrowing your neigh- Among our Exchanges.

Prof. Orr gives the school statistics of Georgia for 1885 as follows: Enroll ment of white children, 190,346, of col ored 119,248, of both races >309,594. The per centum of attendance is as follows: White 72, colored 49, white and colored 61. The total of expen diture for schools was $722,608.29. It is said that Mrs. Frank Leslie, who is now in Europe, has concluded not to marry the Marquis de Leuville. Mrs. Leslie’s income is $110,000 a year, and she thinks it is better to invest it in business enterprises than to use it in maintaining an impecunious and played out French Marquis. Mrs. Frank’s head is as level as a billiard table.—Angusta News. Accidental Death.—We see it stated that a young man named Seers, at Somerset, blew into the muzzle of his gun to see if it was load ed and the gun went off, the load lodging at the base of the brain and fearfully lacerating his mouth. One would hardly suppose that a gun would explode from such a cause, but this accident shows how carefully guns should be handled. Sessions of Congress.—The New York Sun has been figuring out the various sessions of Congress since the first Congress began to hold sessions. Pending the seemingly interminable ness of the present session, some re lief may be experienced by referring to* those of other days. The first session of the First Fed eral Congress lasted 210 days and the- and the second session held 11 days longer. The second session of the Fifth Con gress held 246 days, and the first ses sion of the Twelfth Congress 245 days. The second session of the Twenty-seventh Congress lasted 269 days, the first session of the Thirty- first Congress, the longest in the his tory of the republic, 302 days. The second longest session was the first session of the Thirty-second Congress, 275 days. The first sessions of the Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, Forty-fourth and For ty-seventh, were all long. The aver age of the first session, for fifty years, is 230 days.

We can imagine no spectacle on this earth that could equal it. Were ten thousand volca noes suddenly to break forth from the bottom of the Pacific ocean, with their flames ascending until seeming to touch the sky, the spectacle would be a poor show to an inhabitant of our moon, compared with that almost constantly presented to the people of the largest satellites of Jupiter, and what would be the overpowering sight in looking upon the scene, in a planet of the sun, five hundred times as large as our sun. Some astronomers believe that there are suns in Jehovah’s uni verse 500 times as large as the sun that gives light upon the earth. How in cause you deprive the printer of the opportunity of selling a paper. You say this isasmall matter; you are right, it is a small matter in your ca^e, but suppose everybody was as mean as you are, who would take the paper then, and where would you find one to borrow? Does it ever occur to vou, that your neighbor who, with long suffering charity and forbear ance continues to supply you with literary food through summer s heat and winter’s cold for many a weary year, thinks you are the meanest and most despicable wretch on the face of the earth and wishes \ ou w ere trans ported to the North Pole or sunk to the bottom of the deep, deep sea. Everyone should remember that the presence of Gens.
