The Albany News of Thursday re
ports about crops in its section:
Corn, about an equal acreage to that
of last year; only about 25 i>er rent,
fertilized ; the crop now gives a beau
tiful promise—the first, plowing over
on most farms. Oats somewhat be
hind. Cotton, a larger acreage plant
ed than last year’s; preparation
thorough, and about one-fifth of the
crop now up; less fertilizers used
than last year. Sugar cane looking
well, but not enough planted.
Laborers working well.
Nothino had been heard at Savan

boats of the steamer Leo, and those
who had friends upon them were
much alarmed and anxious. The
weather having been boisterous, the
News thinks that tho only hope of
the safety of the missing ones is
based upon the bare possibility that
they may have been picked up by
some vessel which was in close prox

of the fact that the first of April
passed about threo weeks ago, pub
lishes an account of a grasshopper
two feet in length, which made its
appearance in Barnesville a few days
since, and is still to be seen there.
It says that it has wings over a foot
long, feet of amazing length, and
eyes nearly an'-'lnch in diameter.
Hereafter wo slyall put grasshoppers
in the category of "snakes and
tilings.”

explaining their absence from the
Association. At ’ll o’clock the an

Taliaferro as announced yesterday.
On motion of Dr. Taliaferro, a com
mittee was appointed to use their in
fluence with the Legislature to have
the laws respecting the State Board
of Health so amended as to render it
practical and efficient. Several Inter
esting papers wore read. A resolu

the special tax on physicians.
Rich.—Packard’s idea that he can
maiutuin a State “government” in
Louisiana by laying in a store of pro
visions in tho State-house and occu
pying it indefinitely, while in every
other locality of the State the author
ity of another government is recog
nized and its laws enforced I And
tjie "colored ladies” will carry him
food and water (perhaps a little whis
key), nurse his sick, and board the
few pretended legislators who still
adhere to his fortunes! The whole
programme Is so suggestive of the
carpet-bug, that if that title had not
sooner been given to adventurers of
Packard’s class it would Inevitably
be applied now.
Wf. are glad to note already a par
tial recovery by cotton from the de
pression caused by the war reports—
or rather by the use which specula
tors made of the war reports. A war
between Russia and Turkey cannot
possibly diminish the consumption
of cotton in Europe, but ought rather
to increase it, because the govern
ments will have to spend more money
and buy more clothing, etc., for the
soldiers. And if a stringency of
money results from the war, that
should effect other commodities as
well as cotton. A war would be a
blessing instead of a curse, if it could
break the power of the gamblers id
produce and restore the potency of
the good old law of supply and de
mand. _
Mr. Howell Peeples, of Bullock
county, was waylaid and shot on
Tuesday night while on his way from
Union Springe to his home a few
miles in the country. Tho cause of
the shooting is unknown, but a couple
of negroes are supposed to be the
guilty parties. The weapon used
wae a double-barrel gun, loaded with
duck-shot. At last accounts he was
alive, but in a critical condition.—
Montgomery A'lvertiser.
MBTTI.RO AT I.ANT !
Tho dissolution of the Faukard
Legislature of Louisiana must of
course put an end to the contest for
the State government. Without a
Legislature, Packard can have no
hope of “recognition" as ho calls it,
and his continued persistence in the
claim will only excite ridicule. Prac
tically he was powerless before, but
so long as a Legislature made up by
the returning board 00-operated with
him he could exhibit somo forms of
government; and as the action of
that board hud been sustained by
Congress in the Electoral count,
he could plausibly plead that
consistency required a support of his
pretensions. But the returning board
is now “bursted" with its Legislature,
and Packard and his oat pet-bag must
speedily bid Louisiana a final if not
an affectionate adieu.
This mode of winding up Packard
must be the most acceptable one to
Hayes that could have been put into
operation. It relieved him of a re
sponsibility that he evidently did not
wish to assume. Though he was vio
lating the constitution by retaining
the Federal troops in the State-house,
and really would not have prejudiced
Packard’s rights in the least by with
drawing them, he preferred to avoid
taking a step which would have fur
nished ammunition for the extremists
of his own party in their war upon
his "Southern policy.” Packard’s
overthrow before the withdrawal of
the troops—ills overthrow by bis
own friends deserting his cause-will
deprive Blaine, Phillips et al. of
their most effective lire. Nicholls
has not been "recognized” by Hayes.
Packard’s bayonet prop has not
even been withdrawn—he fell from
his own weakness; he found himself
unsupported and desolate by the dis
solution of his legislative depart
ment; to use a new-fangled newspa
per word, the meaning of which we
think we understand (though we
have no authority for it,) he just
“petered out.”
It will be a relief to Hayes in an
other point of view. It relieves him
of the necessity of taking a step
which his opponents would have said
was a repudiation of tho returning
board—the very tribunal to which he
owed hie own election.
Shall wo bid farewell to Kellogg as
well as Packard? Wo think so.
A partisan Senate can hardly
admit a claimant whose only
title is an election by a
body which had to give up in
gloriously its claim to be tho Legis
lature of Louisiana. When this so
called Legislature dissolved all Us
acts fell with it. In this resp'Ct,
too, tho manner of the death of
Packard’s government is fortunate.
It will, if the Democrats hold to
gether and act wisely, give us two
United States Senators from Louis
iana and very nearly balance parties
in that body. In view of this im
portant advantage gained, tho wis
dom of the Democrats of Louisiana
in rejecting all compromises aud
standing up manfully for all their
rights is fully vindicated. It is a
partial recovery of tho ground which
we lost in submitting to arbitration
or compromise our clear title to the
Presidency.

A CALL FOR OUlt CORRESPONDENT “it.”
Russell, Cos., Ala., Apr. 17, 1877.
Dear Times:—Feeling somewhat i
the humor of gossip this morning, I
have concluded to have a talk by let
ter with you for a few minutes upon
any subject that may be suggested to
me while I have my pen in hand. I
write, you perceive, from “old Rus
sell”—a county where you are just
as popular as you can possibly be in
aDy portions of your own State. *
[Our esteemed correspondent will
please excuse us for omitting here
some extravagantly complimentary
aliusious to our chief editor. We ap
preciate his good opiuion very high
ly, but if he knew how much the peo
ple of Georgia have been nauseated
by newspapers publishing laudations
of themselves or their editors, we are
sure he would forgive our marking out
the two pages which follow here in
his manuscript.]
* * Farming is going on now
briskly in this county. The recent
heavy rains did much damage. Lauds
were boaten as hard as bricks and
terribly washed. Farmers, be it said
to their praise, are planting corn us
well as cottdh—although the propor
tion might have been, and ought to
have been, much greater in favor of
tho former; aud then they would
have deserved more praise. Enough,
it is hoped and believed, of this great
staff of life will be raised for homo
consumption. W’heat looks well;
and oats have not been so greatly in
jured by the winter freezes as was
feared. Tho load of debt upon the
agricultural interest is gradually be
ing lessened, and should that inter
est stick to the auti-all-eotton pro
gramme a year or two longer, it will
become altogether free and indepen
dent, and then prosperity will indeed
again visit the whole country.
What has become of your accom
plished correspondent "B”? t Hois
greatly missed. His letters from the
different States of the South were
most intcrestingand instructive. Tell
him he must set out on his travels
again, and let us hear from him
through your columns, and hear from
him frequently.
Under the head of "Grange Items”
in your Weekly issue of the 10th
iDstant, I find it set forth that the
statistics ol tho Grange show a large
falling off In tho way of membership,
&c., since 1875. This is true; but you
must not forget that the order has
thereby become compacted and so
lidified ; and none but the best mate
riul is left.so that it Is roaily stronger
to-day than ever before, as far as
effective work is concerned, and a
determination on tho part of its
members to carry out the great prin
ciples of the organization. While
Grangers thank you for saying that
"their interest is the interest of tho
entire communityuud that “they
have accomplished much good,"
you tnay be sure that “they will,”
to use your own words again, "not
relinquish an iuch of what they have
gained in tho struggle tor advance
ment, but continue to press on until
they have gained much more.”

WASHINGTON LETTER.
A AT A ItT IN CIMI. ST.KVU'R ItKFOIMI
THE EXTRA SUIO.\.
THE ULISHIAN (IRANI) DUKES.
From our Regular Oorrettpoadant. 1
Washington, April 18, 1877.
I have written very frequently
during the last two years about the
Civil Service evil, insisting that too
many, by a third or a half, were em
ployed to do the necessary work, and
pointing out various radical reforms
that President Tilden was finally
elected to accomplish. I have feared
that I would not be believed except
by those who were already cognizant
of tho fact. It is hard to convince
men that Christian Statesmen for
whom they voted, Statesmen who
have “moral ideas”, engraved on their
watoh seals, can do or tolerate any
thing wrong. But, now wo are to
have a demonstration. Of the nine
hundred employees of the Bu
reau of EugraviDg and Print
ing, five hundred are to be
discharged. Two hundred will be
discharged to-day and 300 will be dis
charged next week. These dis
charges prove what has long been
known by many, that more than
one-half the employees of this Bu
reau are supernumeraries, uud that
the four hundred remaining can
easilyaecomplish the work for which
nine hundred have been paid. There
is a certain advantage in a mathe
matical and practical demonstration
like this, it opens, or ought to open,
the eyes of the constipated to % con
dition that reaches much farther
than one bureau or one department.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
The time for calling an extra ses
sion of Congress has not yet been
decided upon. There have been ru
mors to tho effect that no extra ses
sion will be called—that somo means
will be suggested to avoid it alto
gether. It is the opinion of some
that since the Indian war is practi
cally over, the army might be reduc
ed sufficiently, or furloughed, so us
to stretch the present appropriation
to meet indispensable military ex
penses. The extra session was dis
cussed in Cabinet meeting yesterday,
and it was suggested that it would bo
advisable to fix as early a day as the
15th of May for tho assembling of the
Forty-fifth Congress; as much time
will probably be consumed in the
election of a Speaker and in the or
ganization of standing committees, a
later date would scarcely give Con
gress time for the transaction of
necessary business before the intense
heat of summer.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE ORAND DUKES.
The long expected Grand Duke’s
arrived yesterday, accompanied by
the Russian Admiral,Baron Shilling,
and several officers of tho Russian
fleet. They brought, if statistics
may be relied on, twenty-one trunks,
from which it is inferred they will
remain some time. A largo crowd
had congregated at tho depot to see
the young men who were so fortu
nate as to be born great. A few
minutes before tho arrival of the
train, the Russian minister, with the
attaches of legation in full court
dress came and took position on the
platform. The train was on time
and the minister entered the special
car and greeted the noble scions,
kissing them warmly on both cheeks,
much to the envy of the Washington
belles, who had a glimpse of the
sweet ceremony through the car win
dows. The Dukes then came out
upon tho platform, in conspectu om
nium, and were escorted to tho cur
riago in waiting. This was my op
portunity to gaze (as the orator says)
unawed upon kings, or at least a fu
ture Czar. The Grand Duke Alexis
is the grander of the two. He looks
somewhat like the Colossus of
Rhodes just as every man does, but
the Grand Duke has the advantage
of the Colossus in a military bearing,
holding his feet close together, sprad
dling less. The Dukes were driven
to the residence of the Russian Min
ister, while the admiral and other
members of the suite have taken
apartments at the Riggs House. The
party will probably call on Mr. Hayes
to-day. It is the duty of the de facto
Secretary of State to consult the de
facto President as to the time and to
make all necessary arrangements.
This visit of Alexis recalls some inci
dents of his visit to Washington
about five years ago. At that time
there was an unpleasantness be
tween Secretary Fish and Baron Cnt
acazy, the Russian Minister, who on
that occasion accompanied Alexis on
a visit to the President, but with the
understanding that the Minister
should take no part in the conversa
tion; although the ceremony lasted
but twenty minutes, the prohibition
was very heavy on poor Cataoazy,
who had an oily aud seductive tongue.
This was the first and last call of
Alexis upon President GraDt, and he
took occasion to cut the President
last winter while at Norfolk, by de
clining an invitation to dine at the
White House. C. A. 8.
Turkrj’K Mountain Barrier.
The military situation in the Eust
renders the range of mountains
known us ttie Balkans of peculiar in
terest. Opinions are divided con
cerning its effectiveness as a mili
tary barrier. Some mililary
critics maintuinlg that Its dangers
are rather imaginary than real;
others that it is a formidable, hut
not a very formidable barrier. The
Bulkin range, or ancient Hummus, tma
an average elevation of 4,000 feet,
and tho highest peak in the west is
9,(XX) feet, running down to u general
altitude of 3,000 feet on the Black,
terminating at Cape Emineb. Von
Moltke has said that the difficulty in
passing the Balkans lies more in
the paucity and bad state of the
roads than from their height or in
accessibility, and this is, perhaps,
among the contradictory opinions,
about the truth. A recent writer in
the London Times says, “we really
know very little of the Balkans. 1 ’
The climate is changeable, the at
mosphere moist, and hence the
roads are likely to he of the worst.
There are seven passes: the Bogza
Pass, on the road from Shumla to
Karnabat, by Tjaiikavak and Dobroll
-difficult, narrow, easily defended.
Clieuga Pass, between Prevuda and
Aides; General Rudiger marched
through It in nine days in 1829. Coast
Road, from Varna to Bourgas; trav
ersed by Gen. Roth in 1829 with the
Sixth Russian army corps; this route
would be exposed to attacks from
Turkish men-of-war on the Black
Sea. Sehubka Pass, which was trav
ersed by tho Sultan in a four-horse
carriage in 1830, lies between Tirnovu
and Kossanlik. Deotiir Kapu, or
Iron Gate, between Tirnova and Shu
no or Islftmji. which one authority
says Is very steep and difficult, and
another just tho reverse-both from
actual observation. Tirnova, or Os
mau Bazor, to Knson and on to Kar
nabat-a very diffb ult pass. Savatz
Pass to Tutor Bujordjik—almost
linpussable.
The Russian idea of this range may
be'gathered from tne name conferred
on Gen. Diebitsch in 1829 Zibul
kanskoi—the crosser-of-ttic-Balkuns.
Diebitsch took Varna and used the
coast line, but Russia then held the
sea, and Turkey had no naval power
or importance. Now the Russian
army will have to use the pass lead
ing from Sburula to further West,
with the same objective point-Adri
anople where Diebitsch compelled a
treuty of peace. A co-operating
force will probably go by Sophia far
to the West, about the center of Eu
ropean Turkey, and down the Valley
of the Marltsa, or ancient Ilebrus, to
Phiiipopolis, and thence down the
same Valley, assisted by railroad to
Adrlanople.
The author of “Eothf n,” in giving
a description of his journey from
Belgrade to Constantinople, by way
of Sophia, says of the Balkan range
of mountains: “One day it seemed
to me thut our path was a little more
rugged and less level than usual, and
I found that I was deserving for my
self the title of Sabal-Kausky or
‘Trauscender of the Balkan.’ The
truth is that, as a military barrier,
the Balkan is a fabulous mountain.
Soch seems to be the view of Major
Keppell, who looked on it towards
the east with the eye of a soldier,
and certainly in the Sophia pass,
which I followed, there is no narrow
defile, and no ascent sufficiently dif
ficult to stop, or delay for a long
time, a train of siege artillery.”—
Nash ville American.
Cut Mown the Army. .
The extra session of Congress, which
will probably meet in the beginning of
June, lias to be called because the means
of paying the army must be provided.
The necessity tor such an extra session
growßoutol the fact t hat in the last Con
gress tlie House of Representatives and
the Senate were not able to agree upon
the magnitude of the army, and upon the
uses to be made of it.
Now, the first duty of the representa
tives of the people in this extra session, is
to insist upon reducing the army to ten
thousand men. Tnis number is sufficient
for every regular need of the country.
The public service can be fully performed
by an army of this siz ■, and not a single
soldier above the number of ten thousand
should be allowed by Congress.
Next to the duty of reducing the mili
tary force to ten thousand men,the House
of Representatives should insist upon at
taching to the bill a provision thut the
army Bball not be employed for any politi
cal use, either in the way of watching
even elections, or for the purpose of .sup
porting claimants to office in any State.
Other questions will, doubtless, be rais
ed in this extra session, and in settling
them the House will have to deal with
matters of great importance; hut there
can lie nothing else of such moment to
the people as reducing the nrmy to ten
thousand men, and prohibiting the Presi
dent from making any political or elec
tioneering use of the troops.— N. Y. Sun.
Tax Payers, Take Not ire.
mOE Attention of Tax Payers is specially called
X to tho following section of tho Code, viz:
It shall be the duty of the Tax Receiver to re

to identify them. Receivers are prohibited from
receiving any returns ©i lands which do not de

prohibited from allowing any Receiver compen
sation or percentage for bis services, who re
ceives returns in any other manner.
Having been instructed to enforce the require
