It Is stated that the coal mining
product of Alabama for 1876 was
05,0)0 tons. This was an Increase from
in 1873, and showe a rapid
and encouraging growth of this im
portant industry.
Thi suit of the State of Alabama
vs. Timberlake, late carpet-bag lax
collector of Dallas county, was tried
In the Circuit Court of Montgomery
on Friday, and the result was a judg
ment of $40,000 for the State. The
Advertiser thinks that a portion of
the amount will be realized.
We notice that the "Cotton Seed
Association” of New Orleans Invite
bids for the transportation of 80,000
to 100,000 tons of cotton seed from
Memphis and other river ports to
their oil mills In New Orleans. We
are glad tt> see this evidence of the
magnitude of this new business.
The Washington Nation of Thurs
day says: It is rumored that the
President will, in a few days, publish
a proclamasion rescinding the call
ing of an extra session of Congress
in October. This will postpone the
meeting of the two Houses until their
usual time.
The Concord Patriot predicts that
"Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks will be
a power in this country at no distant
day, and that the Southern States, in
the next Democratic National Con
vention, will prefer him to any other
man.”
The Southern people preferred him
to any other man is 1876, but some of
their representatives yielded to the
clamor for the nomination of n New
Yorker as a party necessity.
The French Senate, on Friday,
passed the order dissolving the
Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of
150 to 130. This is a compliance
with the domaud of the administra
tion, and we presume will remove the
danger of an immediate conflict. The
next step will bo an appeal to the
people In the election of new Depu
ties. There are so rnanv factions that
it would be difficult to predict the re
sult, though there Is every reason to
believe that a large majority of the
people are still in favor of the repub
lic.
Alluding to President Hayes’ proposed
trip to the White Sulphur Springs, the
A. Y. Tribune anya: “Ho goes there with
no other purpose than the very sensible
one of finding rest and cool air at a wa
tering place where he can become ac
quainted with the leading men of the
South. It has been along time since a
President of the United States manifested
much interest in that section of country
except when called upon to order troops
there to support carpet-bag governments.
Mr. Hayes’ trip to Virginia will be anew
and appropriate evidence of the hearti
ness and earnstness with which he is pur
suing the policy of reconciliation.”
Mb. Thos. Landers, of Jersey City,
publishes in the New York Sun a
challenge to “water diviners.” He
says that he has on his place in the
country an underground stream
three quarters of a mile In length,
covered to the depth of 21 feet, and
passing through a field that has
been cultivated so long since the
drain was made that no trace of the
ditohing can now be seen. The un
derground current is a strong one.
He proposes to pay SIOO and the ex
penses of any water diviner who will
correctly trace the course of this
stream; the diviner to forfeit SSO if
ho fails.
Across the Danube!— Our dis
patches report at last an event so
long expected—the crossing of the
Danube by the Russians In such force
as to show their intention to remain
and prosecute the war aotively on the
southern side. It is hardly supposa
ble that, after all their preparations
to defend the line of the Danube, the
Turks permitted the Russians to
cross without a fight as a measure of
strategy. They were either out
general led or overpowerod by num
bers and equipments. The next
strong Turkish line of defence is the
Balkan range, with its fortresses—
Sillßtrla, Shumla, Varna, &c. The
crossing of the Russians within the
Dobrudseha would indicate a purpose
not to flank, but to attack one or
more of these strongholds, and then
we may expeot to hear of the bloodi
est results of the war. Important
events will no doubt follow each
other in quick succession, unless the
other powers of Europe, considering
that the Turks are at the mercy of
their enemy, should intervene so en
ergetically as to constrain the Porte
to make peae. •'

TweM'n Bombshell. ,
New Yore, June 21.— The morning
papers editorially commenting upon
Tweed’s statement, all agree that At
tpr General Fairchilds’ position as a
public officer is compromised by the
charges of Mr. Townsend, and a re
futation of these charges is necessa
ry. The Herald has little sympathy
for Tweed, but condemns the Attor
ney General’s course in inreighling
Tweed into a position compromising
others Without benefittiug himself,
and concludes that until Fairchild ex
plains he is open to censure as either
a man Without personal honor, or a
tool of others. The tone of articles
in other papers is similar to that of
the Herald, and all call upon Fair
child to speak.
Punch calls this an easy riddle: In
the course of the recent debate in the
House of Commons, Lord Elcho in
quired, "Wbat could be more mon
strous than the idea of Russia fight
ing for civil and religious liberty?”
Punch replies: Why—“ The idea of
England fighting against it.” Let
Lord Elcho ask another.
GBANT.
It no doubt pleases the English
people to render homage to Oeneral
Grant, as it certainly pleases General
Grant to receivertheir tributes. Had
these honor# been offered to him just
after tbo close of our civil war, though
we might have entertained the opin>
ion that they were ascribing to him
too large a share of the Union victo
ry, there would have been no posi
tive drawbacks to show their impro
priety. But Gen. Grant has since
been at the bead of eight years of so
called civil administration, and be
goes to Europe Immediately after his
retirement from that administration
and twelve years after the close of his
military services. We are bound to
believe, therefore, that the British
honors are showered upon him as a
civil magistrate as well as a military
chieftain. They are bestowing these
honors upon one who, bad he worn
the British crown Instead of Ailing the
American Presidential chair, would
have incurred censure, if not de
thronement, for such acts a# Gen.
Grant perpetrated or permitted while
he was President of theUnlted States.
The British people would never have
submitted to such nullification of
their great personal right of habeas
corpus as President Grant recom
mended and carried out in this coun
try. They would never have permit
ted him to supersede civil by martial
law in portions of the Kingdom in a
time of profound peace. They would
never have stood his favoriteism for,
and association with, public plunder
ers and Government defrauders. In
these acts of his they would have
discovered traits' of character so
odious as to dim tbo lustre of bis
military fame. In contrasting his
rnililury with his civil administration,
they would have detected incongrui
ties showing that
"All that raised the hero sunk the man."
The great relief which this coun
try experiences in getting rid of
Grant as a chief executive proves the
correctness of these propositions.
F.ven his own party has abandoned
his polloies as soon ns it got hitn out
of tho way. His successor perceives
that his only hope of making his
administration acceptable and of
saving his party from utter over
throw is tho abandonment of Gen.
Grant’s usurpations, nepotism and
discreditable associations. It Is not
00 much by any positive merit of its
own, but by its contrast with Grant
ism, that Hayes’ administration is
giving relief and quiet to the coun
try. It may be said of Gen. Grant,
as was said of some former American
politician, that he “wont into the
Presidency with very little opposi
tion, and wont oat with nono at all.”
Ho does well to seek in Great Brit
ain and elsewhere honors which
could not be cordially accorded to
him here.
C. H. WILLIAMS, I>Q
We copied yesterday from tho
Hamilton Journal an editorial sup
porting this gentleman In his candi
dacy for tho Secretaryship ot the
Constitutional Convention. The rea
sons given in favor of his election
were strong and weighty, and we
hope that they will be duly consid
ered by the members of the Conven
tion. It Is not simply because of late
editorial association that we desire
tho eleotion of Mr. Williams, but be
cause we know his efficiency and
his fidelity to any work which he
may undortake. He is thoroughly
impressed with the importance of
retrenchment, and especially in the
clerical work of the Convention and
the Legislature. Should ho be
chosen Secretary, we have no doubt
that his administration of its work
will exhibit such economy as to furn
ish an excellent begining in the re
form which the people require, and
that the duties of the position will be
performed iu a manner to give entire
satisfaction.

Major Jones' Wheat.
We have received the following
letter descriptive of the manner iu
which Major J. F. Jones obtained
the reniutkablo yield of wheat men
tioned last week:
Major Jones sowed early last fall
eight acres of old laud, which had
been iu cultivation for over forty
years. The soil was well prepared
by plowing, usihg stable manure,cot
ton seed, and guano. He sowed the
common variety of wheat known as
the purple-straw. On tho most pro
ductive acre, he sowed one bushel to
the acre. The laud was carefully
surveyed by J. H. Covin, our county
surveyor.
The best acre made seven hundred
and eighty large bundles or binds,
and threshed out fifty-three and a
half bushels. The three best acres
threshed one hundred and seven
teen and a half bushels. The entire
eight acres yielded two hundred and
nine bushels. Several dozen of the
wheat threshed out a bushel to the
dozen.
It was reaped, threshed, measured
and counted in the presence of many
witnesses who are ready to make
affidavit to the above result. I think
the above yield unusual for this
couatry and only shows what proper
preparation and attention will do.
Many of oyr old fields which are now
unproductive can yet be made of ser
vice by proper preparation and culti
vation. If such results can be real
ized wa oertainly have the best coun
try under the sun.
This result is encouraging to our
piauting friends and should be to our
entire community.
I lsarn of several fine prospects for
wheat in this section. Messrs. B. T.
Morelaud, Frank Ward, Dr. T. J.
Jones. Mr. Sims and others, are likely
to make from fifteen to thirty bush
els to the acre, from a good portion of
the lands they sowed. The prospects
also for corn are very fine; cotton is
now growing well. We have good
seasons. The outlook is brightening.
Hogansville voted for a Constitu
tional convention. Give us good
laws, and economy in the adminis
tration of our State affairs, and all
will yet be well.
Yery respectfully,
J. C. Smith.

GBOBGIA3I MKAIi OF MTATR.
Am*nd It i Hall Oar CfcaaccS CoaSltloa.
Editor Times: The Great Seal of
the Stato of Georgia was adopted
February Bth, 1739.
The device on one side is a view of
the sea shore; with a ship, bearing
the flag of the United States, riding
at anchor near a wharf, receiving on
board hogsheads of tobacco and
bales of cotton, emblematic of the
exports of this State; at a small dis
tance a boat, landing from the Inte
rior of the State with hogsheads, &c.,
on board, representing her internal
trade; In the back part of the same
side, a man in the act of ploughing,
and at a small distance a flock of
sheep in different pastures, shaded
by a flourishing tree; the motto
thereon, “Agriculture Com
merce-1799.”
The opposite side of this Seal pre
sents the three pillars, supporting
the arch, with the motto; Wisdom,
Justice, Moderatioh,” &c.
The latter should remain as it Is,
but the former device should be
changed.
There is a sentiment that associ
ates Itself with a device that some
times gives tone to national charac
ter. The crescent, the cross, our old
flag are examples, Indeed this is
seen even in national airs and
nursery songs, as the Irish melodies
and Scottish ballads.
The device first described, shows
the leading Ideas of our fathers
when our Great Seal was adopted,
and that idea has been fastened on
us as a people, and has doubtless had
much to do In confining our
energies to “Agriculture and Com
merce,” to the neglect of the Me
chanic Arts. When our ports were
blockaded during the war, we began
to realize in tit# full extent the error
of the past. While we know that
Agriculture was the keystone in the
arch that supported all other inter
ests ; while we ack lowledged the great
convenience and source of wealth
derived from Commerce; wo began
to feel that the mechanic arts were
also ludlspensiblo, and without
them the others must languish.
Since the war, we have been toning
our energies to learn how to aadpt
ourselves to the changes made in our
labor system, and keep up the old
idea of cotton making on large
farms. Old men never will learn,
and “Young America” must get full
grown before they can perfect anew
system.
We were brought up before the
war under a policy of investing every
surplus dollar in another “nigger” to
make more cotton. We endeavored
to carry out a similar policy after
the war, in using all our capital and
straining our credit to run large
plantations, until many became
bankrupt, and nearly all the bal
ance were left twelve years older,
with less than they began with at the
close of the war.
We must have a change, and what
shall it be? I think the solution of
the difficulty will bo found in di
versifying and dignifying labor—in
small farms and scientific culture—
less credit and a judicious investment
of our surplus earnings in manufac
tories of various kinds, and encour
aging the mechanic arts.
Let us illustrate by our great sta
ple product, ootton. I have stated
in other articles written for the press
that it takes five hundred able-bod
ied field hands the whole year round
to make two thousand bales of cot
ton and half enough corn to feed the
stock employed to make it. One
hundred women and children can
spin this cotton into average yarns
by aid of machinery in the
same time it takes five hun
dred hands to make it, and double its
value. It is a principle of political
eoonomy that all values added to the
raw material add just so much
wealth to tho locality and seotion
where this labor is performed. Now
run this calculation through the
whole cotton crop of the South,
doubling its value and our wealth in
the article of cotton alone, and we
will see tho importance of the me
chanic arts. Ootton can be manu
factured cheaper and better in the
neighborhood where it is produced
than abroad, and encouraging this
idea would soon movo the mills of
Lowell and Manchester to our own
unsurpassed water power, inviting
capital, skillful artizans and popula
tion with them.
The same argument that applies to
the manufacture of ootton applies in
a greater or less degree to every other
branch of manufactures and mechan
ism. Lot our Constitutional Conven
tion, then, begin this great work.
Let them change the reverse side of
our Groat Seal, first above described,
and amend the motto so as to read
Agriculture, Commerce and Mechan
ics. Then let them get some design
from the artist to represent the me
chanic arts with the other two. These
three great interests never conflict,
but always aid each other in tho pro
gress of a nation, and might be rep
resented as three sisters marching
hand in baud up tho highway of na
tions.
The point to this hasty article is to
urge our Convention to do something
to show to the world that we are de
termined to change our policy, and I
suggest that an appropriate change
of the seal would be an advertise
ment to the world and posterity that
we are in earnest about it, and invite
the mechanics and artisans of the
world to settle with us under our own
beautiful Southern skies—

AXAnXMA AORICUI.TUBAI,, CIUTMERCIAt.,
AND MINERAL CONVENTION— BLOUNT
HPKINOS THE PLACE OV MKET
INO.
Montuomkbv, Ala., June 11,1877.
Eon. It. M. Patton:
Dear Sir: I think your interest in the
subject about which 1 write will excuse
the liberty I take in troubling you with
this communication.
It is proposed to bold a convention at
Blount Springs, about the Ist of next Sep
tember. for the purpose of discussing the
‘material resources of our State, with the
double, view of awakening amongourown
people a spirit of enterprise, and attract
ing theatlention of the world to our re
sources. The convention will be com
posed as follows:
1. Two delegates from each county, rep
renting the agricultural interests of the
State.
2. Two delegates from each incorpor
ated city or town, representing the com
mercial interest.
3. One representative of each mining
or manufacturing company.
4. The representative of each railroad.
5. One representative from each news
paper.
8. One representative from each incor
porated College.
Arrangements have been made with the
proprietors of the Springs to entertain
die convention at nominal rates and to
furnish a hall for its session. Negotia
tions are now pending with the various
railroad companies, with the view of se
curing free passes to delegates going and
coming.
The business of the convention will be
in accordance with a programme arrang
ed in advance, in which each topic will
be assigned to someone who will
present hiß views thereon, either iu the
the form of an essay or an addrees as he
may prefer, which, after being thus pre
scnltd.will tie subject to discussion by
the body of the convention. The follow
ing list will give you an idea ot the range
of discussion proposed:
1. The coal fields of Alubama, their ex
tent, value and development.
2. The adaptation of our soil and cli
mate to the cultivation of grasses, and
sheep husbandry.
3. The harbor and trade of Mobile.
4. Fruits and fruit culture of Alabama.
5. Our iron interests and industries.
6. The soils and manurial resources of
the State.
7. Our lumber interests.
8. Our railroad system.
9. Colton manufacturing iu Alabama,
our resources wild advantages, and its
profitableness and relations to other in
dustry.
10. Our water lines, natural and ar
tificial.
11. The problem of free labor and cot
ton culture.
13. Immigration.
Each oue of the topics has beeu assign
ed to some citizen of the Slate whose at
tainments and reputation will ensure the
presentation of a well considered paper,
and command for his opinons the respect
of the world. It is proposed to publish
the proceedings of the convention in
book form, for general distribution, and
it will probably contain more valuable in
formation upon the matters embraced in
it than can he found elsewhere.
The object of this letter is to ask you
to take a place in the programs—to favor
us with a paper on the sub|ect of Cotton
Manufacturing in this State—l sincerely
hope you will consent to do so. My opin
ion is that such a convention will be pro
ductive of great good. We shall, proba
bly, be occupied several days in carrying
out this programme. The’ mere fact of
bringing together the representative men
of the State for discussion of the material
interests of the . Slate, will in itself ac
complish a great deal. Aye, if I mistake
not, the amount of thought which a dis
cussion would evolve, would give an im
petus to :he cause of progress in Alabama
which wo have not hitherto experienced.
Please favor me with an early reply,
and if you can possibly do so, cousent to
aid in the enterprise ns suggested.
I am, very respectfully and truly, yours.

copy of the largest book in the world.
Towards the close of the seventeenth
century tho reigning Emperor of
China appointed an imperial com
mission to reprint in one vast col
lection all native works of interest
and importance in every branch of
literature. In the beginning of the
following century the commission
completed their labors, and were
able to lay before the Emperor a
very palpable proof of their dilli
gence In the shape of a compilation
consisting of 6.109 volumes, entitled :
“Kin ting Koo tooshoottaeih ching.”
or “An Illustrated Imperial Collec
tion of Ancient and Modern Litera
ture.” Only a small edition was
printed off in the first Instance, and
before long the greater part of the
copper types which had been cast
for the undertaking were purloined
by untrustworthy officials, and tbe
remainder were melted down and
coined into cash. Accidents by fire
and by violence bave considerably
reduced tbe number of the imperial
edition originally printed, and it is
believed that only a comparative
few remain extant.
