that gentleman has the contl Jence oi

the other day, when culled on tor

things to go along In their own way.
There was a world of good sense in
that, and if reporters would act on

Beady to strike and anxious for an
oooasslon to "let loose the doge of
war," It is hard to tell, when th.
world is so surcharged with the ele
ment of strife what a tew weeks may
bring forth, and if the spirit of strife
should sei k to "smooth its rufll d
front” by resorting to the battle
field, the end would not be seen by
many of us now living. Wete it not

Tueue are modern financiurr
who think no system oi

complaining of the national bank
system, we respectfully dift<r with
those who suppose nothing els.
would be so good. For ourselves w<
would have State banka and Stat.
Issues. Buch a system would permit
every community to be the judge ot
its banking necessities and to provide
forthem. It is objected that such a
currency would not have a uniform
value, or a universal circulation
through the Blates. The universally
of the circulating quality, is not ma
terial, as local issues would be for
the benefit ot the local communities,
and the uniformity of the value oi
our present currency is rather an
idea than a fact as will appear when
it is remembered that . dollar in
New York or Boston is only worth
$1.05 per year, when the same dollar
is worth $1.12 or $1.15 per year in

■-
inuaK uixoKßw,
It was thougnt that Mr. Arthur
would fasten no more of hie ap
pointees upon Georgia after getting
Bpeer on the bench, but it seems that
the idea was not well founded. He
has nominated James Atkins to the
place of United States Attorneyship,
vacated by Speer. Tub nomination
is opposed by both Senators Brown
and Golqultt. In giving his reasons
for opposing Atkins, Benator Brown
said:
"I shall oppose it on the samt
ground that I opposed Atkins’s con
firmation as District Judge. I have
made it a rule since 1 have been in
the Senate under the Bepublioan ad
ministrations, to vote to confirm all
nominations of persons who were
qualified and worthy. In no in
stance have one on politi
cal grounds, or supported one
whose character I did not
think good. I shall ex
pect the Bepublioan Senators, after
the 4th of March, to vote to confirm
many Democrats, as the Democratic
Senators have voted to confirm thou
sands of Bepubiicans. In this case
I base my opposition, not on political
grounds, but on the record and char
acter of the person nominated. The
same reasons which operated to pre
vent hie confirmation us fudge still
exist, and are amply sufficient to
cause his rejection for the listrct
attorneyship."
It will be seen from the above
reasons that Senator Brown will not
oppose a nomination on political
grounds, but when a man with an
unclean personal record is nominated
he will oppose his confirmation. This
may be sufficient notice to Demo
crats of impure or doubtful personal
records, to expect to meet the oppo
sition of Senator Brown, if their
names ever go before the Senate.
The Inauguration Ball.
The ball-room will be the largest
overseen in this country. You see
when you get a ball-room on whose
floor 2,000 or more people can be
dancing at once, on whose prome
nades 2,000 or 3.000 more can be made
comfortable, in whose dining-room
1,000 people may be fed at once, and
in whose galleries 4,000 or 5,000 peo
ple may be comfortably seated, you
have an immense affair. No one can
realize the bigness ot the ball-room
and its belongings nntil he has seen
it and realized how little show a few
hundred workmen make In it.—News

HOW EBAUDS IN FERTILIZER
Are Prevented by the Inspection
Laws of Georgia.
Editore Telegraph and Meeeenger:
In yuriieue of January 30, ap
! nears an article from the Charleston
News and Courier, which purport.:
to be uu interview with a South Caro
lina manufacturer of feitiilz-ri, in
which interview said manufacturer
displays an amount oi ignorance as
to the mode of inspecting fertil z ire
in this State that is calcui ited to get
himsell and thcseif-coufesHed swind
is he alludes to, into trouble.
Georgia was the first of the 8 mthern
States co enact laws for the protec
tion of her farmers in the purchase
of commercial teniliz id, ami ihey
are '.tie 11 ptiug of ino lei He brain
of one oi the moat progressive
and intelligent agricuituriate in the
South, and embraces three modes;
Firat. Before a shipment ol fertili
zers can be placed on salt! In thia
State, on request of the manufactur
er or dealer, the goo.is ato Inspected
by a swore officer of the department
ot agriculture and a sample drawn
from the goods, w.iich is sent in
duplicate to this department. The
dupiioate is sent from tne depart
ment by number to the State chemist
and the resuit of bls mialysk ren
dered to the department in the same
way, when it Is accredited to the
brand of goods represented by the
sample of that number—the chemo t
not knowing either the biuuil or th”
mauufaciuierer of the goods he
analyses. The results of those
analyses are published each mouth
during the season and represent the
inspections of the previous month,
it le thus impossible tor a pound of
goods to be placed on sale without
being represented by sample in the
department, whether it comes lu the
first or 1 ist ot th.- season. It is on
these inspections that tne tags are
issued, and before the inspection is
made, lu each lustanoo, tne manu
facturer, in consideration ot being
allowed to place the goods on sale,
signs an agreement to cancel all
sales thereof, aud forfeit all claims
tor purchase money thereof, if after
the official analysis is made the U >m
missioner ot Agriculture shall pro
dibit its sale in accordance with
law,
2, Inspectors are sent out by th<
commissioners during the season aud
.tuples ot various brands are drawn
from goods in the hands ot the deal
ers at different points in the Btate. u:
detect any possible reduction ot the
grade or substitution oi inferior
goods for that on which the tags wer
originally issued. While this ha>-
boeu done every season, I have been
allotted this season to that particular
orauon ot the work. As the s-ajcn
la more advanced in South west Gear
gia, I have us yet been principally
■ ugagud in that section. With eaeti
sample thus drawn goes a report,
which shows the brand of each g >odt
the manufacturer, the guaranteed
analysis, the dealer or farmer it.
whoso possession the goods were, so
that 11 the official analysis Indicates
anything wrong it can readily be
traced up.
3. Ev. ry farmer in Georgia, when
he purchases fertailzors, can draw
samples ot the same, which should
be done in the presence of competent
witnesses, sealed and properly label
ed, showing brand and manufactuer
and dealer from whom purchased,
aud either sent by express to the de
partment or kept in the hands of oin
of rhe witnesses, where they will lit*
preserved. It the farmer entertains
any doubt as to the genuiueas ot tn
goods, on request the cjmmissiouei
will have the sample re-analyzo l by
th" State chemist without charge.
Now, woile Commissioner Hender
son enforces all three ot these
methods in Georgia, Alabama usee
only the third. North Carolina,South
Carolina aud Virginia the second. It
would seem that our farmers are
more securely protected from impo
sition than those ot cither ot the
other States named. Under Cotn
missioL'er Henderson's administra
tion no law on our statute books is
more stringently enforced, and the
disreputable characters alluded to by
the correspondent of the Charleston
Nows and Cornier, as church mem
bers and Sunday school teachers, en
gaged in the manufacture ot fertili
zers in that State, will find it harder
to place their spurious goods in the
hands of a Georgia farmer, undetec
ted, than for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle. The difference
m commercial value ot certain brands
as shown by the official analysis of
the two States, Is easily understood
when It is known tnat the standard
of Georgia is much higher man that
of South Carolina, and the brand or
name ot a fertilizer has nothing to do
with the grade.
The publication of the article
named iu your widely circulated
journal has shaken the confidence ol
the people in the South Carolina
manufacturers of fertilizers, aud 1
have been frequently requested since
to watch their goods closely, which 1
shall certainly do. Forewarned is
forearmed.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Frum oar Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. 23, 1885.
The Washington monument has
been turned over, was the startling
announcement on the street yester-.
day at 12 o’clock. This did not
that it had been overturned, but that
it had been turned over—transferred
from the monument committee, who
have had it in charge for thirty-six
years, to the people of the United
States. The ceremonial programme
has now been completed, and the
monument stands alone in its pear
less grandeur, divinely tall and most
divinely fair, the noblest tribute to
the noblest man.
The six thousand who composed
the civic aud military procession,
and who were out from 10 a. m.
until 2p. m., standing for most of
the time massed in a square about
the monument, had a foretaste of the
horrors of war. It was bitter weather
and many, chilled to the bone, were
prostrated with cold.
The procession from the monu
ment to thecapitol was well ordered
and imposing. I have seen many
processions move along Pennsylva
nia avenue, but never before have I
seen the police succeed in keeping
the streets clear, aud their success
on this occasion argues well for the
much larger procession which will
move along the same route next
week, on the fourth of March. The
sidewalks of Pennsylvania avenue
are very wide, but the spectators
have been disposed to enerouch upon
the street, to crowd the column in
procession, and break the view from
all but the front line. By a success
ful disposition of mounted police
men, the avenue was kept perfectly

dear, and all were enabled to en| >y
'he spectacle. Major Dye, the chief
d police, received a letter of thanks
from the President for his success in
managing the crowd.
F'rst came General Sheridan in
full uniform, mounted on a black
horse. II was followed by L>ur aide.
; nd a ling., body of mounted men.
Next In order came the U, S. infant
ry and artillery, then the volunteer
milit try and civic organizitlons.
These were fallowed by a long line ot
carriages, decorated with th ■ stars
and stripes, in whicn were members
of U ingress and Justices of tne Su
preme Court. The President sat in
a catriage drawn by four horses.
Gonspicuous it tbe flea 1 ot Southern
visiting m.lltary c ompantes was G n.
Fitzhugh Lee, mounted on a superb
dark bay stallion.
The ceremonies at the monument
were very brief. Tbe weather was
so cold tnat not even the speakers
uncovered their bald heads, and the
audience sat with their huts on aud
moved their benumed feet constant
ly. At the Capitol, from which all
but a favored two thousand were ex
eluded, the cerem mies were pro
tracted, the speeches were longer,
but were endured by the audience
with fortitude. The first oration was
written by Mr. Winthrop, who was I
the orator thirty-seven years ago,)
when the corner stone was laid. It I
was In the somewhat he ,vy and re |
duudaut style of rolling periods that j
was considered fine rhetoric forty I
years ago. Mr. Gladstone, Monsieur ;
Gambelta, Lord Maculey, or Mr.
Vilas would have said more in hail
us many words. The oration was
read by Mr. Long, of Mass,, tbe
writer belug too feeble to be present.
The oration ot Ojl. Daniele),of Vir
ginia, was flowery and brilliant,
sjphomorioui aud pretentious. The
beat orators of the day practice a dif
ferent style, and the orators of the
future will not find models in tbe
orations of last Saturday, ex
cept of sums faults they
should avoid. Life is too short
and modern common sense and cul
ture la too practical, to be cheated
aud tickled by words, words, words,
li.is vl w dots notexciu le eloquence,
out it does exclude grandiloquence,
Which VaUUtr, itself and sUbslltUlCb
gaudy a 1 uteuces for u chaste and
stmpia expression of thought. If old
Mr. Winthropaud young Mr. Daniele
vill take care to revise their oratiote
before delivery, and carefully cut oui
all the fine things they have doted on,
they may yet make pretty good ora
tors, but the old style ot soaring tie
American eagle until she is out ol
sight, aud making too larks sing at
the gates ot Paradise will not do tor
these times.
