In llit- fcitvly day- o! ur repub
ltc, parties were* divided upon
principles relating to the organic
laws. The currency, the revenue
laws, internal improvements, etc.
all gave rise to questions affect
ing the constructive powers of
government ami all related to its
fundamental principles. Now,
there is no issue upon principle.
The war ended all that. It made
a nation of the Suited States, and
no question can hereafter arise
but upon the expediency of mcas
urcs of administration. Recon
structed as the government is, all
parties ‘approve, ratify, endorse,'

A writer, over the signature of

The Baltimore (iazette says the

thereby.
Updo the 20th instant, Atlanta

The Chronicle states that the

tiou of the Augusta. Knoxville,

They have already progressed 12
miles, and only three miles of un

been moved to this last section,
and in a short time the entire
route from Augusta to Walton's

A “trump register 'kept at the

itinerant gentry have been taken

represented nearly every country

The ‘•organized’' say Ben llill

Governor Hendricks, who is in
Washington, says •• the western
democrats are determined not to
be manouvred out of the presiden

people may not want either a re
publican or democrat manouvred
upon them.
I'm. Gi ano Question. —Let the
price of the fertmzer be fixed at
its minimum cash valuation, and
the farmer, if he cannot pay the
money down, merely give a lien
upon a bale of cotton, with the
privilege at his option of selling
the same at home in the presence
of the owner of the lien, and thus
liquidating the amount of the
claim. This would give any over
plus which the cotton might bring
to the owner and leave the man
ufacturer nothing to complain of.
On the other hand, if prices ruled
low, the planter could deliver the
cotton in lieu of the cash. Of
course the weight of the bale
should be predicated upon a fair
average juice of the staple in
market for the security of the
guano dealer, who, however,
should be required to put down
the article he sells at bottom pri
ces.—Macon paper.
During the year 1878, 192 ves
sels, 76 from foreign and 1 IB from
coastwise ports, entered the port
of Brunswick. The total tonnage
was 61,810, and the aggregate
number of men employed by
them was 1,613. There were 198
clearances, 74 for foreign and 124
for domestic ports. The total
value of exports was $1,373,841.
A correspondent from Valdos
ta writes us as follows: *‘l see
in your Weekly of the 18th ins
taut you state that Atlanta was
first named Marthasville, in honor
of a daughter of the late Governor
Lumpkin. This is a mistake. It
was named in honor of Miss Mar
tha Mitchell(then of Pike county,
Gn.,)whose father owned and sold
the most of the land upon which
Atlanta was originally founded.
Colonel Peters, Dr. Thompson,
G. W. Adair and all of the old
inhabitants will confirm this state
ment.”
The Camilla correspondent of
the Albany Advertiser thus
writes: “We can truthfully state
that our people are substantially
better off than a few years ago.
More attention has been given to
supply raising. Orchards are be
ing set out everywhere. Then,
I too, new dwelling houses are be
! ing Imilt. Indeed, the progress
is so steady and substantial that
one can draw the conclusion that
our people feel settled, at home,
and do not intend to trv ‘going
West.'"
The Brunswick Seaport Appeal
claims the late earthquake as its
own peculiar property, and says :
“Yes, ours. We discovered it,we
were shaken by it, we heard its
muttered menace to our cups and
saucers and china, and sideboards
and contents. We felt our hous
es sway, beds move, saw tin* pic
tures rattle on the walls, heard
the windows shake. Surely this
is something to be proud of. It
is not every day you can get up
an earthquake, and they come so
unexpectedly, so completely
when they get ready, and are so
impartial in their attentions that
we feel it our duty as true chroni
clers of the events of our times
and especially of our city, to give
a short account of this phenotne
uon. And first We desire to say
that this is ourj rst earthquake.
Wo have had Nancy Hart but no
earthquake, and are inclined to
believe this a sort of jollification,
gotten up by the earth, at our
bright present and brighter pro*
poets.
On the subject of wheat, the
Thomasville Time* says: “That
this cereal can he successful
ly planted and grown in this coun
ty' we think is now an establish
ed fact. Passing the store of
Messrs. M. Isaac de Cos. the other
day we noticed a barrel of beau
tifully rounded and full grained
wheat on the sidewalk. Upon
inquiry . we learned that it was
grown by Mr. Rosen fold, one of
our German farmers, Subse
quently meeting the gentleman
himself, he informed us that lie
raised, the past reason, seventeen
bushels to the acre. And what
is more, after cutting the wheat
he planted and raised 150 bushels
of potatoes on the same acre.
What section can make a better
showing? Few, we trow. He
sold the whcat(for seed) at $2 per
bushel, and the potatoes at 40
cents per bushel. Seventeen
bushels of wheat at $2 per bushel
and 150 bushels of potatoes at 40
cents, aggregate SO4. That beats
an all cotton crop out of sight.”
Albany Advertiser: ‘‘From a
friend of Mr. John R. Lee, of Lee
county, we get the following
statement showing the result of
his farming last season: With six
mules he made 00 heavy bales of
cotton, 2,100 bushels of corn. 10
barrels syrup, 1 acre of cane left
for seed, 300 bushels oats (on 15
acres), 1,000 bushels potatoes,
and over 200 bushels peas. He
killed 18 head of hogs averaging
155 pounds. The above is what
Mr. Lee made with six mules on
that portion of his place which he
worked himself. On his entir*
place, including the land worked
by renters, he made 300 bales
cotton with 30 mules, besides 150
bushels of corn to the mule.”
Tiik Fathku of Twenty Fivk
Sons. —Hiram Y. Reese died re
cently at his residence in Frank
lin county, Pa., within a few
months of ninety-two years of age.
He was the father of twenty-five
sons, twenty of whom are yet liv
ing, the eldest being sixty-six
and the youngest twenty-four.
His first wife had six sons, his
second eleven and his third eight,
and six of the children were twins.
He was a soldier in the war of
1812, and had nine sons in the
Union army during the late war,
two of whom were killed at the
first battle of Bull Run, a third
at Ball’s Bluff - , and a fourth was
drowned during Banks’ ill-star
red Red river expedition. lie

and never but once during his
life did he take medicine.
Georgia's Claims.
lit the United States senate on
Friday, on motion of Senator
John B. Gordon, it was.
“Ordered, That the papers in refer
ence to the claims of the state of Geor
gia be w ithdrawn from the tiles of tin*
senate and bed elivored by the secreta
ry of the senate to Hon. W. O. Toggle,
agent of the state of Georgia.”
It is not generally known to
what claims of t he state this order
refers. The facts are these:
During the revolutionary war,
the war of 1812 and subsequent
Indian wars, the state of Georgia,
with other states, advanced to the
general government large loans
and supplies to aid in the prose
cution of the wars. It appear*
that many of the claims of Geor
gia have never been paid. The
matter is in considerable
confusion. There are papers in
the office of the secretary of state
of Georgia which show that some
payments were made to the state
on such claims, but it is also evi
dent that there has only been a
partial settlement of the claims.
In order to get a clear and exact
knowledge of the true status of
the case, Governor Colquitt, a
bout a month ago, appointed
Hon. W. O. Tuggle, of LaGrange,
to go on to Washington as the
agent of the state. While there
he will carefully examine all the
papers in the federal archives
touching the claims of the state.
By comparing these with the pa
pers at the state capitol, he will
probably put the matter in a
more definite shape than it has
yet assumed. At present very
little is certainly known. The
unpaid claims may amount to a
great deal or they may not. An
other contingency, which may
prove more troublesome, is that
when the exact amount due is as
certained, it may be paid or it
may not.— Constitution.
