The government expenditures dur- log the fiscal year 1881-&2 show a total smaller by about $1,000,000 than the total for the previous year. This, without examination, might be taken as proof of economy. In fact, it is not. The annual dept charge wi\s di¬ minished 811,000,000 between the two years; so that instead of a reduction of general expenditures there was an increase of about 810,000,000.

The gentle- . mnn wIioh- tianm app< are as can lid ate j for tlie governorship of Oeoigia is perhaps as well known in almost every State in the Union as in this of his nativity. Physically a dwarf, m n- tally a g ant, liis name and fame will go sounding down to posterity for years to come as nno of which the pen- pie w ill ever be prom) and feel honor- od that Georg n is his place of birth, Nothing could have been more fitting at this time, when his physical Minis -lowly but surely sinking adowu the doclirio of life, and the shadows are growing gradually longer and darker, than to have crowned him with a gift so b« fitting his noble brow, hoary with years and honors.

M’o hope there will bo no dissension in the ranxs of the party. The enndi. dales arc nominated by a democratic convention nod it behooves every man who ealls himself a true Democrat to support tiie ticket. This above all others is not the time for disruption and all thinking and reasonable men will see the necessity of concentration in movement for radicalism is always on the alert for a breach in the wall to use their foul means to obtain the reins of government. Senator Hill's Condition. Yesterday Senator Hill was some ¬ what weaker than on the previous day. IIu concluded the writing of his will. The Chicago Tribune, of Saturday has the following; Dr. Nicho Frnncis Cooke of this city received a dispatch yesterday from Mr. B. II. /Till, Jr. concerning •he condition of ins father, Senator Hill. Dr. Cooko was calloil on yester¬ day foraoopy of the dispatch, and was found busy looKing over the proofs of an article on ‘Antiseptic Medication ; or Declnts Method. 1 The doctor wanted to know how it Imd been found out that ho had re¬ ceived such a dispatch, and declined to give the diagnosis in detail as given iu Hie telegram without the cou* scut of tlio family. Finally he conpanD ed to sail just out side tlio circum¬ ference of professional etiquette. 'I have received,* said the doctor, ‘a dispatch giving an explicit diag nosis of Senator Hill's condition, and asking me to go to Atlanta in consul¬ tation over liis case, if in niy judg ¬ ment there might still be hope. In reviewing tho diagnosis I have felt compelled fo answer that the caso is hqpeless. Should I obtain tho con sent of the family I will givo the di¬ agnosis in detail of this most remark¬ able cancer, It is exceedingly inter¬ esting. ‘ In answer fo the question if he con¬ sidered this caso a test of Dr. Declat's STStpm 0 f treating consumption can¬ cers. etc., Dr. Cookc said: ‘la the latter part of May, while Sennoor Hill was at Eureka springs, the phenic acid treatment qf Dr. Deelat was to arrest the progress of the dis- ease and gave hope for a time, but has not been persisted in with suffi- cient pertinacity,' doubtless from tho 1 fact that the case was so obviously hopeless. It cannot be regarded as in any sense a faip test of this system of treatment. Col. J/ardeman may get ready for a boom, ns is indicated bythe following fiom the Cartersville American: ‘A petition will be circulated during the present week among tho court house people nsKing the lion.

Depart*, ment. The crop in the Gulf State is now made, and the high figures put down for those States will, therefore be particularly gratifying.

The State of largest acreage stand lowest of all in condition. Upon this area and condition a medium yield, producing 1,700,000,- 000 bushels, is scarcely possible. With the yield of last year tho pro¬ duct would exceed 1,200,000,000. Tho range of possibilities covers 500,000,000 bushels, the result depen- dout upon tiie meteorological condi¬ tion of tho succeeding eighty days. Cotton.— Cotton has improved since the 1st of June, its average con- dition being three points better on the 1st of July. From Virginia to Georgia and west of the Mississippi, every State shows higher figures. From Florida to Missisppi aud Ten¬ nessee, condition has slightly ileclin- cd. The general average is 92, which is higher tbau iu July of 1873 and 1874, and lower than many other year for the past Ipu. The total visible supply ,of cotton ou last .Friday was 1,773,693 bales against 2,000,335 in 1881, and agaiust 1,709, 135 bales in 18?0, Thrga figures in¬ dicate a decrease in the vissible sup ■ ply of cotton on last Friday night of 2-0,041 bales, as compared , with ., the ®*“® dateof 1/81 > and an 1DCre ‘‘ se ' >t 7 ' ! ’ 568 b:des as compared with the col 'i'esponing date of 1S80.

The senate decided on Thursday to take up the internal revenue bill. The bill as it Rtauda repeats taxes od capital, deposit* of banks and bankers, and on and after Mav 1883 the starao tax on bank checks, drafts, orders and vouch- era, the tar on matches nod on proprietary articles, The hill further provides that after the 1st of May, 1883, dealers in leaf tobacco shall pay 812; dealersin manufactured tobacco, $2.40; all manufactures of tobacco, SC; manufacturers of cigars; $6; ped- dler of tobacco cigars and snuff, spec- ial taxes as follows: First class, 830, second class, 815; third class, 87.50; fourth class, 83G0; retail dealers in leaf tobacco, 2.50, and thirty cents for each dollar on the aro,t of their monthly sales in excess of tiie rate of 8500. Other seetions of the bill, on and after January 1,1883, reduce the tax on cigais to 84 a thousand, and seventy-five cents a thousand, and on Bessemer steel to 820 a toD. It will readily be seen that the pen¬ ding bill brings very little relief to the mass of the people, although it very considerably reduces the income cf tle government. Excepting the i(om in re fation to matches, the bill is wholly in the interest of capital and spec inl iut,-rests. and on this around W lll be generally opposed by the dem- ocratic senators. The hill might get Fa [ e ]y through by snob opposition; but it cannot well escape the perils of overloading, nearly every senator liav- ing at least one amendment ou hand t] )at he desires to incorporate in the bill. Mr. Vest wauts to protect native sparkling wines by a duty of twenty cents ou each quart, Mr. Miller, of New York, wants to regulate the manufacture of vinegar by the alcho- holic vaporizing process. Mr. Beck thinks a tax of 814 a ton on Bessemer steel rails is Enough. Mr. Plumb wants the duty of 25 per cent on ail molasses repealed. Mr. Vance pro¬ poses a repeal of duty for ten years on all kinds of machinery used exclusive¬ ly in the manufacture of cotton or woolen goods; a reduction of fifty per cent on Dace, halier and fence chains made of wire, mill irons and crauks of wrought iron, cut nails an:l spikes, horse shoe nails and wood screws; a reduction to 50 per cent of the exist¬ ing rates oji flannels, blankets, bats of wool, knit goods, woolen and worsted yarns, and all manufacturers of every description, composed wholly or id part of worsted, the hair or the alpaca goat or other like animals, valued at not exceeding forty cents per pound; 50 per ceut of existing rates on all cast iron vessels, stoves stove plates, east iron bolts and hinges, and on all holloa'ware, glazed or tinned, and a reduction of 35 per cent ad valorem on dress and piece silks and all fabrics of which silk is the component mate¬ rial of chief value. Mr. Vance also asks to repeal the tax on refined camphor for chloroform Hofi'mans anodyne, and spirits of ni¬ tric either liops and opium other Uian prepared for smoking. Besides tbese g amendments there are at least a dozen in relation to tobacco, snuff, cigars aud cignrefs. Some of these will doubtless be adopted—so many of them, iu fact, that tho house will scarcely recognize its offspring when it is returned to them.—Consti/ution.
