If Gen. Grant never gave General
Huger any orders to Interfere in the
organization of the South Carolina
legislature, and if Huger knew that
that was not the work expected of
him, Why did he (Huger) refuse to
give assurances on the second day of
the session, when Jyoth parties had
agreed to adjourn. Wat he would not
tho next day prevent their ro-oceupy-
Ing their positions ? Is it not evl
dent that Huger knew that Grant’s
. - the control of the
Ws lipplbe election of Mr. Ran
dall sfiMHpT of the House of Bep
reßODtatlVChf as an indication that
the Denf&SSfts expect a severe par
liamentary contest over the counting
o' the Electoral votes and questions
connected with it, and are preparing
for it. Mr. Bandall Is their best man
to conduct such a contest. He is a
mao of 'promptness and nerve, a
thorough parliamentarian, and pos
sesses a tenacity that never surren
ders. In the joint session for the
counting of the Electoral votes, he
will be found hard to circumvent or
throw off his guard. If the Radicals
have any Senator who Is his match,
Blaine is the man.
"Th* Empire. Wo learn from the
Democrat that two numbers of a
newspaper called The Empire have
made their appearance in New Or
leans. The Democrat says that it re
garded the first Issue as a joke or a
satire on the situation, but that the
appearance of the second number
gives it a more serious aspect. It
quotes the concluding paragraph of
the leader of the second number, as
follows:
“What this country now requires
lean Emperor. Has Orant the nerve,
the intellect and the courage equal
to the crisis and to fill the public
need? If he has. two hundred thous
and Southern men, trained to arms
and devoted to their country, will ns
semble under his standard and up
hold his sword, and plane upon his
brow the imperial crown.”
—" ■ i • •
The New York Tribune has a corres
pondent who argues that Hayes may safe
ly be counted in because there Is no dan
ger that the people of the United States
will go to war with each other about the
Presidential Succession. This, says the
Detroit Free Frees, Is an admirable ar
gument, truly. The Democratic party
can be relied on to submit to injustice and
fraud rather than to invoke the evil of
war; therefore, Injustice and fraud are
excusable. We are not so sure at the
TWbune’s correspondent is of the peaca
ble disposition of the American people,
though we have not the slightest question
that a vast amount of actural wrong will
be borne before force is resorted to. It is
impossible, however, to conceive of cir
cumstances where submission would be
more injurious to the country than resist*
enee, whatever form it might take.
GMItTOIt LOUNMNA.
The declaration of Gen. Grant,
mode to Mr, Hewitt, that the Electo
ral vote of Louisiana ought to be
thrown out, will arrest attention
not because Gen. Grant's opinion in
the matter is worth more than other
iwople’s, nor yet because he bad any
immediate power in the premises;
but because—lst, it indicates that he
does not want au election by the peo
ple and 2nd, it is an acknowledgement
on bits part that Congress tuts the
power to go behind the certificates
and inquire into the manner in which
the Electors were appointed. Sup
pose that Oen. Grant and his
close friends In Congress (Butler,
Gonkling and others) take the ground
that the two Houses must consider
objections raised to the votes of
States, and they succeed in throwing
out Louisiana, there will then be no
eleetion by the people, and a number
of legal questions incident to the
counting of the vote will have to be
decided. Can the house force a de
decision of all these questions before
the 4th of March ? and can it proceed
to elect a President before the count
is finished and the announce
ment officially made that there
is no choice by the Elec
tors ? May not the squabble
be prolonged until the 4th of March?
And what then? Caleb Cushing and
Ben Sutler are quoted as expressing
the opinion that Gen. Grant can then
"hold over” until his successor is
chosen and installed. If Gen. Grant
is looking forward to a contingency
of this sort, and wonts the vote of
Louisiana thrown out as a means of
defeating an election by the people,
this programme will doubtless re
ceive support in Congress, and it may
yet furnish the solution of this vexed
question.

Till: RKPORTKI* COALITION.
Wo do not wish to be understood as
expressing belief in the truth, or even
the probability of the reported nego
tiation betweup Gov. Hayes and so mo
Southern Democrats, detailed In the
dißtjafctcJvhlch wo <-<wy from the
©tncfnnSu Enquirer. But the story
is told with so much particularity ns
to parties, dates, places, &o„ that wo
we can hardly pass It unnoticed as
not deserving mention.
One reason why wo do not believe
this story is this: the parties con
tracting must know that the disclos
ure of their schcmo would almost
certainly defeat It. It is not at all
probably that the great body of the
Republican Electors of the North
would adhere to Hayes if they know
that he bad made such an agreement;
and still less probable is it that any
of the sixty Tilden Electors of the
North could bo transferred to
Hayes under such an arrangement
which would be a virtual disband
ment of the National Democratic or
ganization and a separation of Its
Northern and Southern wings. The
transfer of an Electoral vote from
the candidate whom the Elector was
pledged to support to him whom he
was pledged to oppose would be a
proceeding of great responsibility un
der any circumstances ; and when it
comes to the transfer of the whole or
a majority of the voto in this way, we
must regard the proposition as irn
practiblo.
May wo not be permitted to hope
that there is some good foundation
for the many reports that Hayes is
opposed to the usurpations of Gen.
Grant’s administration, and is re
solved to cut aloof from the rascal
ities of the carpet-bag and native
Radical party of the South, no mat
ter how ho may be elected?
Tbo Democrats of the South will
stand faithfully by Gov. Tilden as
long as the Democratic party of the
North manifest a resolution to put
him in the position to which the
people havJelected him. This is es
pecially tho duty of the Democrats
of the North. In casting for him
a nearly solid Electoral vote, the
Democrats of the South have done
all that can reasonably bo expected
of them under the circumstances.
But they cun have neither heart nor
hope in an alliance with any party
of the North which permits itself to
be iDtiraidated or cheated out of a
triumph after it is won. If it be really
true that there are any Southern
Democrats negotiating for an al
liance with Gov. Huyes, such as the
Cincinnati Enquirer’s dispatch re
ports, it is because they despair of
Gov. Tilden’s attaining the Presi
dency after being fairly elected to It.
In all probability there is no truth In
the reported negotiations; but,
whether true or false, many South
ern men will want more reliable po
litical allies at the North if Gov. Til
den, after being rightfully elected
President, is not put into the office.
the; iaeugibum.
The many shifts and dodges of the
Radicul party upon the cases of the
Ineligible Electors ure very remark
able. They made lmste to have one
of their own Electors in Rhode
Islaud, who was a Centennial Com
missioner, declared ineligible and to
fill his place, because they had dis
covered that one or two of the Tilden
Electors in other Stutes were also
Centennial Commissioners. They
dodged the question in the case of
the Vermont Postmaster, by
getting him to resign and
choosing another Elector in his
stead, which they had the
power to do. But in the case of the
Oregon Hayes Elector, who is also a
Postmaster, they will neither declare
him ineligible as they did the Centen
nial Commissioner in Rhode Island,
nor have him resign as they did the
Rhode Island Postmnster. Why?
Simply because if they declare him
Ineligible, or get him to resign, they
are not sure that their party can fill
the vacancy as they did in Vermont
and Rhode Island. Therefore they
seem resolved to stand by his choice
as on Elector, notwithstanding the
plain constitutional disqualification.
They even attempt to ridiculo and
consure the Democrats for trying to
get an Electoral vote from Oregon on
the ground of the ineligibility of one
of the Electors chosen by the peo
ple. They think that Gov. Tilden
ought not to accept a vote obtained
in that way. Magnanimous souls !
after the means they have resorted
to to filch from Tilden the votes of
South Carolina, Louisiana and Flor
ida I
Mr. Hewitt, in a late interview,
correctly explained the policy
and motives of the Democrats
in insisting on their con
stitutional rights in the mat
ter of the ineligible Electors. He
said: “We do not intend that the
Republicans shall obtain fraudulent
returns from States, for the purpose
of counting in Mr, Hayes, and then
object to the Democrats taking ad
advantage of accidents elsewhere, in
order to get a chance to argue the
case. We should look upon it as
a monstrous outrage if by fraud in
Louisiana the Republicans were to
get 185 votes in the Electoral College,
and then put it out of our power to
avail ourselves of a vote, say in Ore
gon, in order to force them to go be
hind the face of the certificates and
search the real merits of the case in
each of the contested States, In
other words, if a certificate shohld
be given in Oregon to a Democratic
Elector, it should be quite ready to
have it inquired into, just as I would
demand an inquiry into the Louisia
na case,”

From the AtUnt* Constitution,}
In Hitchcock’s geological map
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama are marked us belonging to the
Ezoic period, dawn of life. This was
so designated because the real forma
tion was not known. The value and
extent of tho geological survey of the
State, under the direction of Dr.
George Little, State Geologist, is
now beginning to develop Itself. The
survey made shows Hint In Georgia,
South Carolina and Alabama the for
mation Is lower Silurian. In Geor
gia the formation is divided into
three periods: Potsdam of New York,
Suebee of Canuda, and Cincinnati,
hio.
The lower salurlan formation is the
same that gives the line grain and
dairy regions of New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin,
lowa, Missouri and Middle Tennes
see.
• COPPER.
In the Potsdam period is found the
Duoktowu and Mobile copper mines.
Gold-bearing rock are found in the
Quebec period. Copper is found lu
the Cincinnati period. The Blue
Ridge copper mines, in Lumpkin
county, the Canton copper mines, in
Cherokee county, the Waldrop mine,
in Huralson county, the Wool copper
mine, in Cleburn county, Ala., and
the Fulton copper mine, ten miles
from this city, belong to this period.
The copper mine near Union Point
belongs to another belt.
IRON.
Iron is found in the non-metumor
phic regions west of Pine Log moun
tain and northwest of Dug Down
mountain. This, the brown hema
tite, is not found in beds or veins, but
In poeketsor massive deposits. Red
fossiliferous iron ore is found in the
Clinton period of the upper silurlan
formation.
COAL.
Coal is found in the coal measures
or the carboniferous period, and cov
ers 173 square miles. Mines have
been opened in only two places. The
Dade Coal Company, of which J. E.
Brown is President, und the Rising
Fawn Company, in Dade couuty.
Tho Dade Coal Company have lately
opened the Castle Hock, coal mine,
formerly owned by Gen. J. 13. Gor
don. There are hundreds of places
where these mines could be opened.
COItE.
The Dade Coal Company have 65
coking ovens, and are successfully
competing with the Sewaoee mines.
Tho Rising Fawn Company have 60
improved Belgian cokiug ovens. By
using tho coul washing machinery
recently introduced nt Pittsburg, the
coke can be still further improved.
MARLS.
A line from Columbus to Butler, in
Taylor county, limits the cretaceous
tnurls, while a line from Fort Gaines
to Butler, Macon and Augusta de
fines the northern limits, and one
along the northern line of Chatham,
the junction of the Ooonoe and Oo
mitlgee rivers, and Quitman on the
Wlthlacooehee river limits the south
ern line of the tertiary marls. These
marls have been used by Hon. Ed
mund Ruffin, of Virginia, Dr. Long
street, of Effingham county, Ga.. and
Coi. Eli Shorter,of Alabama. All pro
nounce them valuable as a fertilizer.
Instances have been known where tiie
effect of the application of these mai ls
to the land could beseen iu the crops
fifteen years afterwards. In some
eases the crop was doubled. Prof.
Loughridge is now engaged in exam
ining the tnarl9on Flint river. On
the first he was at Montezuma, and
although the thermometer was down
to twenty-two, he found marl beds at
Pineville, on Dry Creek. The yel
low marl is fifteen feet thick. The
marls are exposed on the banks of
the creeks and rivers and can be
reached in other places by digging ft
few feet below the surface.
VEGETABLE MATTER.
That portion of the State below the
marl formations is rioh in vegetable
matters, marsh muck,, and peat—the
very thing needed to fertilize the
sandy lands of that section, and
make them as productive as any in
the State. The vegetable matter,
muck and peat, are accessible.
NATURAL FERTILIZERS CONVENIENT.
It seems au almost inexcusable
blunder to send so much money out
of the country for commercial fertil
izers, when nature has pluced the
fertilizers needed close to the locality
where they can do the most good.
The marl deposits on the Satllla
river nre close enough to compost
with the muck Of Oketenokee and
other swamps. Southern Georgia
has in these marls a full supply of
lime to use for fertilizing her soil.
There is also a sufficient supply bor
dering on the Chattahoochee ridge,
at Gainesville, Flowery Branch,
Habersham, Fannin,Giltner, Pickens
and Cherokee counties. In Hurral
son county limestone is used for mar
ble. In northwest Georgia one can
scarcely get out of sight of largo
beds of limestone. Here is one im
portant item of our resouces over
looked. There is
"millions in it,”
because it can be used as a fertilizer
and is accessible trail points ot the
State. Rocks ground up, pulverized
and disintegrated by the action of
rain, the atmosphere, sun and frost
forms soil.
OUR SOILS.
The State geologist has samples of
the characteristic soils of the State,
oarefuily selected, and labelled with
a description of their natural vegeta
tion and chemical analyses, showing
the ingredients present in the sam
ple, and what ingredients necessary
for plant food it lacks. These soils
are to be studied bv agriculturial
chemists of the department of agri
culture, iu order to recommend suit
able fertilizers for them.
N .rURAL GROWTH.
r.,3 State geologist has samples of
‘225 different kinds of woods grown in
the State, embracing all that are
used in making wagons, buckets,
axe handles, etc. These samples
show the grain and fibreofthe wood,
the polish and smoothness of dress
ing. and labelled with the botanical
and common nameaudcounty where
grown.
Any man who would keep two
horses in his stable idle all the year
would be voted lacking in sound
judgment. And yet the people of
Georgia every year have
MILLIONS OF HORSES
who require neither corn nor fodder
running idly to the sea, and that, too,
:in the teeth of the fact that the fac
tories at Augusta and Columbus have
proven the best paying investments
in the United States. Professor
Locke, of the geological survey, has
measured all the streams in the
State large enough to turn a wheel,
accurately, and tabulated giving the
county and amount of horse power

Cold Powder.
We have long been in the habit of
using what we call a cold powder,
which we have found of great value in
breaking up colds when taking in lime,
and in modifying their force when taken
late
The prescription is as follows:
Camphor, five parts; dissolved in
either to consistency of cream: then add
carbonate of ammonia, four parts, opium
powder, one part.
Mix and keep iu a tightly corked bot
tle. The dose is of course regulated by
the opium, and ranges between three ami
ten or fifteen grains. We have been ac
customed to prescribe it for our friends
by the finger uail full, or as much us one
can put on the finger nail.
This powder may be taken in a little
water just belore retiring, liy preference,
or at any hour of the day, whenever there
is a suspicion of having caught cold. If
need he, a moderate dose may be taken
several days in succession.
The advantages of this powder arc verv
great.
1. The taste is agreeable, or, at least, is
not disagreeable. Kven the bitterness of
the opium is mostly neutralized by the
camphor and ammonia. No child objects
to the powder.
2. It is singularly and inexplicably effi
cacious. We believe it to be more effi
cient than Dover’s powder, and incompar
ably more agreeable. In some cases it
produces a gentle perspiration ; in others,
this special effect is not observed. It is so
easy to take, and so harmless in small
doses, that it is well and safe to take it
whenever we become badly chilled.—

The Superior Court of Town, a few

the favor of a defendant who was sued by
a woman for selling her husband whisky.
She had been awarded $1,625 damages,
and the Court decided that the verdict
was invalid because one of the jurors
took a glass of liquor during the progress
of the trial. It was shown that the ju
rors did not become drunk, hut the Judge
ssid there was a precedent for such a de
cission, and he followed it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune , by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some.of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, In
which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the mott extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl showing many dis'inct forms of ancient shells, of tike tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered alt through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the lamer desires to
cultivate.
