MINOR TOPICS.
A petrified plug of tobacco haa been fonnd
in Colorado. Of course we don't want to get
into trouble with the theologians, but if this
isn't proof that Noah stepped off the ark in
America, then what is proof ?
We are going to hare a war with Mexico.
The Government sent 150 recruits to Fort
Union. And here's Ames howling for men and
munitions of war to carry the elections in Mis
sissippi. Hadn't o better inflate the army—
or contract Ames ?
An Englishman was lately arrested for “steal
ing gas " by attaching a rubber tube to a pipe
in the cellar of an unoccupied house next door
to his own. He had drawn off 600,000 feet in
fire yearn. The Engl shman, it will be ob
served, was guilty of a crime just opposite to
that of our average stumn speaker, who steal
somebody's thunder, but furnishes hie own gas.
The Scotch don’t waste their time in crack
ing jokes while at the cattle shows, “dome
Scotch exhibitors have been detected artificial
ly turning up the horns of their Ayrshire cat
tle, blowing in air beneath their shoulders to
Inc: ease the girth around the heart and sewing
on false'bush tales. Others exhibiting milch
cows have been found feeding them their owtr
milk soon after it was drawn from them."
A discovery made by a Chattanooga paper in
regard to the powers of the Jamestown weed
mast eventuaJy crowd from the market the
article known as Cincinnati whisky. The per
son eating of this weed, which grows nearlv
everywhere, and is within the reach of the
poorest, “becomes wild and delirious, imagines
he sees all sorts of loathsome reptiles, and
shouts and acts generally like a person in a
crazy fit from over drinking.”
A high toned English aristocrat, a nephew
of Lord Thane!, was arrested by the Pans
police on Tuesday, together with his wife and
children, charged with picking a woman’s
pocket in an omnibus. The family was strip
ped Individually and examined, but no proof
of guilt ctitiid be found. There will dijubtless
be a horrible growl from John Bull about the
affair. Tfcf fbfench policemen probably think,
since they read the Baker case, that it is not
always best to respect the persons and honor
of English gentlemen.
An association for the protection of gentle
men traveling in railway carriages has been
formed in London. The circular dilates ou the
frequency of extortion practiced by females in
railway carriages, and quotes a number of
cases which have transpired in law courts
where the intim.dation has been resisted.
Among others, the Duke of Welington is
spoken of as having been victimized. The as
sociation hopes to hare an influence through
its mere existence in giving men who are
threatened determination to rosist extortion
and retaliate on the assailant.
About two weeks since a Spartan Justice of
the Peace in (leorgia sent his wife to jail on a
charge of stealing a dress, declining to go bail
for her appearance. An enemy of the Justice
went on her bond after she had been fed on
the bread of affliction and coffee of tears for
ten days. Ou leaving the prison she was in
formed that her husband bad on the day of her
incarceration discharged the cook, whom they
had had in the family for twenty-throe years,
and etigaged.an odions creature of nineteen.
Remarking simply, “Ho has, has lie ?” she
bent her way homewards. * * *
They believe in a gold baeis over in Cali
fornia, and boast of the strength it gives them
to withstand any financial storms. They ray:
“A twenty dollar piece is always of the same
value, and never depreciates; it always is
worth a premium in New York over the
fluctuating greenback. Ho that, when inflation
of their currency brings its inevitable results,
we are ready with our gold at high prices to
ballast their shaky ship, and when the storm
subsides and they can dispense with their
ballast for a time, we take it back, and
pocketing the difference, can afford to wait
until they get into trouble again. And as we
always make tbo profit, it is probablo we can
stand it as long as they can.” When a failure
occurs like that of the Bank of California, “no
iudustry or enterprise is retarded for a
moment;” the business men “simply shake
themselves and go on again as though nothing
had happened, every man knowing that the
foundation is solid.” There is something in
this worthy to be carefully considered by the
Eastern fluauc.ers, and especially by our over
enthnsiastio inflationists.
President Grant has not only a nice appre
ciation of humor, but ou occasion is apt at re
partee. During his recent vacation at Long
Branch he was called to Washington ou public
business and while there was handed for sig
nature several commissions of postmasters.
There were also presented to him a number of
petitions, among them one from citizens of
Vineland, N. J., for the removal of Mr. Landis
from the postmastersbip. Mr. Landis, it will
be remembered, is the gentleman who in an
informal and impromptu manner “promoted”
a small globe of lead into the brain of Mr. Ca
ruth, (ho editor of tho Vineland papor. The
President askod, “Is there any irregularity iu
Mr. Landis’ accounts ?’’ “Not any,” replied the
pleasant-voiced Postmaster-General. “Is the
office well conducted ?” “No complaint on
that scoro." “Intemyerate habits?” “Noth
ing of the kind charged. ’’ “What is tho objec
tion ?" "The petitioners say ho is rather ob
noxious, anil that a change would bo sati-fac
tory." "Well.” repliod the President, with the
slightest possible twinkle at the Postmaster-
General, “ho doosn't appear to hare done any
thing but shoot an editor, and I don’t see how
I can remove him on that.”
In an interview with the reporter of a
New York papor, Carl Hchurz says that busi
ness is dull all over the world, iu England and
Germany especially so, while Frauco seems to
him at present the moat prosperous of Euro
poan countries ; that is, ordinary business is
more active there than elsewhere. The oanse
of the existing depression of business every
where is more general than is commonly sup
posed, and though fluctuations of currency
aud Iho ne of paper money have had much
to do with it, yet the telegraph itself, benett
ceut though it be in the long ruu, has oaused I
much of the difficulties under which the world j
is now laboring. The first effect of the tele
graph bringing information instantaneously
from the mqst remote points was to cause
active speculation ; prices at once went up
beyond their legitimate standard, and now
that the reaction has set in, business becomes
dull. The condition of the tea-growing dis
tricts in China and Japan, of the viuevards of
Frauee and Germany, of the cotton in the
Southern States. Ac., is too well kuowu every
where to permit of aciivity iu business, the
world growing so small as to be iu knowledge
of conditions a town, while the moans of
transportation are not bettered in proportion.

For a long tinffe the Judge of the Su

the law all the time.

The Albany News prints tho following
hopeful paragraph: We maintain that
Albany will receive as much cotton as

year, and planters are more hopeful

toes and turnips are a success, and the
oat planttiug mania is universal.

intend to pass him for the nomination
i for the Gubernatorial Chair next year.
Gov. Johnson is now holding Court
here and we have conversed with him
on the subject. He says “he has no as
piration for the office, is not advised
that his friends intend to press him for
the nomination; he has never authorized
any one, either directly or indirectly, to
do* so, or to place him in the attitude of
' a candidate for the nomination, and
that he has not the least desire for the

reason we want yon is the fact that yon

“H. H. J.” writes to the Macon Tele
graph from Philadelphia that the peo
p'e think centennial, talk centennial,
dream centennial and act centennial. It
is almost as bad bb t.he bragging of the
Atlanta people. Bat they have good
reason to expect great things, for every
day deepens the conviction, amounting
now to positive certainty, that such a
crowd as the world never saw before will
pour their contributions in dollars and
cents next year into the laps of the ex
pectant inhabitants. And this beautiful
city, always as neat and prim as one of
its own Quaker maidens, will receive
them in holiday attire. Not a house that
won’t be brnshed up and repainted; not
an inch of pavement left unrepaired;
not a merchant that will not make a
bazaar of his shop windows; not a park
that will not bs decked with flowers and
fountains; while all the good thiiigs
and every amusement ever invented or
heard of will be forthcoming to tempt
and charm the cosmopolitan multitudes
who will be present.
They are discussing the subject of
sewers in Atlanta. It seems that some
years ago the same subject was much
discussed in Cincinnati, so an Atlanta
firm wrote to the editor of the Commer
cial to get his views on the subject.
They received the following reply:
The Cincinnati Commercial, \
Editor’s Office, Sep. 13, 1875. j
Gentlemen —I have not got docu- 1
ments on the subject of sewers. The
latest intelligence is,
1. They are jobs undertaken to squan
der the money of the people.
2. No system of sewerage can ever be
completed, at least no one ever is. The
more you do, the more imperative the
demand for extensions.
3. They pollute rivers and waste the
sewerage that ought to be made useful.
4. The jobbers run them in front of
bouses when the water closets are in the
rear, makiDg connection impossible or
excessively costly, apd endless jobbery
for plumbers.
5. They diffuse contagious diseases,
and by the circulation of sewerage gas
caose malignant fevers.
6. The damned rascals never half
bnild the sewers, and they are nuisances
forever.
Please post me as to the progress of
this discussion in your city.

THE CORN CROP.
Report of the Department of Agri
culture—A. Fine Yield—General
Good Condition.
Washington, September 25.—The
September report of the Department of
Agriculture says of the corn crop:
Could it be thoroughly ripened its ag
gregate would exceed any previous crop,
and the yield per acre wonld be one of
the best, notwithstanding the losses by
overflow of bottoms and saturation of
heavy flat soils, such losses proving less
than the usual damages by drouth and
insects, while the rains have greatly
benefited the crop on drier aud higher
soils. Nearly everywhere corn is late in
maturing, from one to two weeks. The
general high condition is still main
tained, the average being one per cent,
higher than in August. The State
averages are : Maine, 105; New Hamp

GEORGIA’S TREASURY.
The Investigation.
(Atlanta UeralcL.]
Onr contemporaries of this State have
contained frequent references of late to
the investigation which Gov. Smith is
making iuto our bond troubles under
resolutions adopted at the last session
of the Legislature. The time has not
yet arrived to enter into any discussion
on this subject or indeed to venture on
any statement other than one of very
general character. It may be stated,
however, that the investigation being
made both here and in New York is very
thorough. What the final result will
be, it is impossible to state at this
time; indeed, the field covered by the
investigation is so wide, and embraces
such a long period of time, that it will
require some weeks yet of steady labor
to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion.
Not only the bonds issned and en
dorsed daring Gov. Bullock's adminis
tration have passed under examination,
but all the bonds issned for the last
thirty years, and the payments of interest
on the same, mast be passed in review.
Any attempt, therefore, in whatever
quarter, to foretell the results of this
investigation can be considered only as
mere specnlation.
It may not be amiss to remark that the
i investigation in New York is likely to
j prove fruitful of important results, and
i that a flood of light will be thrown npon
I the history of onr bond troubles. The
people of Georgia will be glad to learn
that the Hon. C. C. Kibbee, of the Sen
ate, has been spending the Summer in
New York city, and has rendered im
portant service in this investigation. He
returned to the State a few days ago,
but, as might be expected, is quite reti-
I cent in regard to the results of his labors.
, Colonel Kibbee states that the credit of
j Georgia stands very high in the city of
New York at this time, and the people,
i bankers and others attribnte this to the
management of her finances by the Gov
ernor and the Democratic party in power.
In proof of this, it need only be stated
that while Georgia seven percent, bonds
are worth par to-day in New York city,
the bonds of the other Southern States
| are worth from fifty-two down to ten
: cents in the dollar.
i Flood and O'Brien, the great bankers
in San Francisco, are said to have had
$10,000,000 in gold locked up when
Ralston, their opponent, failed.
There is a rnmor, which comes from
nowhere in particular, that ex-Speaker
Blaine is going to take the stnmp in
| Ohio. He has been very qniet since the
i Maine election.

Bjmdfield’s Famale Regulatob.—We have of
ten read ia the newspapers of the grand success of
medical compounds put up at the North and else
where. Many of those medicines have Lad their
day, and we hear no more of them. Their proprie
tors have made fortunes, not so much from the
curative powers and virtues of their mixtures, as
from the notoriety given them by advertising, by
which people were made to believe all the good that
was said of them. A preparation is now before tho
public which is becoming very popular, and is
known as Brfcdfteld’s Female Regulator, put up by
L. H. Bradfield, of Atlanta, Ga., at $1 50 per bottle.
Such is its curative virtues, that it has gained wide
spread popularity all over the country where it has
been made known, and it is being introduced pv&ry
wherP. We aro in ormed that immense quantities
of this medicine are being sold in all sections of the
South and Southwest, especially in the city of New

Wekly Review of Augusta Market.
Augusta, Ga„ Friday Asteesoos, )
September 24, 1875.,
The Course of Trade.
We must admit that the general trade out
look Üby no means as favorable as we had
reason some weeks since to suppose that it
would be at this date True, there has been a
very perceptible increase in the demand for
staple commodities, exoepting perhaps, Com
But the business is by no means what it should
be with the increase’ in receipts of cotton at
this point. There is much to be said, however,
in regard to the matter. Very little of the
money sent from the North to move the cotton
crop in this vicinitv finds l-e way into general
circulation. In a few hours after it reaches
Augu-ta, it is sent out to the country to pay
the planters and brin ' more cotton forward.
As the cotton picking season is now at its
height, the planter bnt "seldom comes to the
cirv even to purchase supplies, hence the
money is for the present, at any rate, locked
up. But we can be consoled by the fact if it
be possible to find consolation in the know!
edge, that the majority of other markets, in
cluding the great trade centres of the North
and West are even duller than our own. The
New York market presents unaccountable dul -
ne?e, and there is great anxiety on the part of
merchants. They evidently have bought and
imported with expectation's far beyond what
they are now realizing. We are convinced that
the indications here are far more encouraging
than tiny are elsewhere. A prominent mer
chant of this ci y, who has just returned from
the North, Btated to us ou Thursday that he
came home in a despondent mood. Even thing
looked so bine in the marts of the North and
East, trade was evidently so stagnant that he
expected to find Augusta practically dead But
he was agreeably disappointed on his arrival to
note the cheerful appearance of business men
and the manifest improvement in trade. His
despondency vanished in the face of this, and
he is hopeful for the future. He declares
most emphatically that trade is by long odds,
better in Augusta than in any of the cities,
large or small he has visited. The truth is the
prosperity of Augusta has a solid Inundation.
We may not hurry and scurry through life as
do the commercial men of some other places
with more pretensions but less basis, but all
trade is on the square, and slowly but surely
advances. Country merchants are generally
discovering that it is to their interest to pur
chase stocks here, hence business in a whole
sale way is constantly gaining in importance. —
Some of our wholesale houses are among the
largest in ftie South, and their customers come
from nearly every section of Georgia and
South Carolina. This who esale bu -mess is
not confined to any branch of trade. Dry
Goods, Groceries, Medicines, Hardware, all
have their share of trade,
A good omen for the trade outlook, is the
large and rapidly increas ng freight business
of the several railroads having termini at this
point. For the last two weeks all the em
ployees have been kept busy, and shipping
and receiving clerks have hardly had tiaje-dsi.
breathe. The number of trains coming in and
leaving daily iB very large. Muoh of this
business is Jhrough freight, but a large pro
portion is local.
As far as the general grocery market is con
cerned we can have but little to say this week
There are absolutely no changes except in
Hour Western having declined 50c a barrel.—
The supply is ample for the demand, and there
is no indication of a change in the statue.
City mills are doing a good businesa. principal
ly in a loGal way, am} are making a very supe
rior article. Their quotations tqr all brands
remain the same as last week. Bacon is still
very firm at our previous quotations. The
supply is li.ht and the demand excellent, ’the
Western meat market is quiet and steady.
Corn is dull and drooping. As usual at this
season, there ia very little demand, and hold
ers find few buyers even when disposed to
make liberal concessions. Western advices
report au improved feeling and a liberal de
mand, especially from the "shorts ” Oats and
Wheat are'qugt. Mixed Oats have declined
from 75 to 65 cents per bnofrel. Red rust proof,
produced in thiH vicinity, remain at previous
prices, $1 25 per bushel The demand for
Bagging and Ties continues to be brisk. As
will be seen by reference to the figures below,
quotations have not been changed, nor are
they Jjkely to be for some time to come. To
day tberjs }g a liberal sprinkling of country
wagons on Broad street, and grocers, espe
cially, appear to be doing a good business,—
What wholesale business is being transacted is
iu a more quiet way, and does not appear npon
the surface.
Dry Goods.
The new additions to our stock of Dry Goois
are coming in daily. We notice some very pret
ty goods among the late arrivals. Prices are
HOI, 1 ];!"'llat easier to correspond with the Now
York market. People in the country will find
it to their advantage to trade with the dry
goods merchants of Augusts, Vfe feel assured
that they can do far better here than if they
made their purchases in New York themselves,
aud had to add traveling expenses and freight
to the cost of the articles.
Financial.
There is still no dUspQsifiog on the part of
the Bauks to transact much business in the way
of accommodation paper, and particularly in
that which works something on the perpetual
motion principle. There have been some few
transactions with good business paper as a
basis, but these have been few aud the
amounts comparatively small. All the money
the banks have on hand is required to move
the cotton crop, and it goes, with some excep
tions, in that way. Th beßt gilt edged paper
of any otßpr character is not desired just at
this time. Tho prospect is. however, that the
market will be much easier ip a short time.
During the week there wore sold in the city
of Augusta 3 751 bales of cotton. Rutting this
on a basis of 12J cents for Low Middling, arid
estimating tlin weight of each bale at an aver
age of 450 pounds, we have 1212,769 2o as the
total amount of cash brought hits the city du
ring the week through this one channel. But
as we stated above but a very small per pontage
of this large sum went into general circulation
in this community. It hardly reached the city
before it started out on another journey.

Course of Cotton.
[From the Neve York Bulletin. September 22.)
So far as actual cotton has been concerned,
buyers have retained ali former advantages
and even made a little further gain : bat the
previous monotonous downward tendency gd
contracts was checked, and one or two slight
’ pulsations of excitement shown. Local influ
ences have contributed largely to fluctuations
lon the speculative position, the general state
of feeling as regard crop, consumption, etc.,
remaining much the same as last week, though
the “boh” side naß presented one or two new
• points" which, if not stimulating, have in
some quarters served to infuse a slightly more
cautious spirit aLd checked pressure. The
Bureau report, though as a rule construed fa
vorably. is claimed to show less encouraging
features ou close inspecti n; some few storms
have actually occurred at the South, and the
cold weather here generates 6ome fears that
the more northern portion of the cotton belt
may be caught by the frost. The -bears,”
too, have nearly all obtained a go and margin
for profit: ami this, coupled with the previous
ly noted indisposition to remain too largely
“short” of the market, induced a goodly
amount of covering and a consequent reaction
whenever the demand became a little sharp
Aside from the speculative manipulations we
find everything to have been excessively tame
” xporters handled nothing, the consumptive
demand fell away, aud foreign advices were, as
a rule, discouraging, and faith in a large and
early marketed crop was unshaken with a
large proportion of the trade. In fact, while
the tendency seems to lean strongly toward
the belief m a full supply and moderate, cau
tions consumption of cotton, rhe shrinkage on
values already established and the experience
of last year have a tendency to prevent the
formation of a very extensive “short” inter
est. “Spots” have been in very limited de
mand, and the cost for the week is fully 4c
lower, with no great strength shown at the de
cline. No hing whatever was oalled for on
foreign account, the small amount of stock re
quired by exporters being secured much more
readily at the Southern ports and on better
terms. The spinning demand, too, was very
slow and much smaller, the redaction in cost
failing entirely to stimulate manufacturers into
purchases beyond their most absolute necessi
ties. The main point of depression, however,
has been the more liberal offerings of new cot
ton from pier at rates constantly running }a}c
below those nominally ruling ou stocks in store.
Old cotton was, to a certain extent, most valu
able, but desirable selection proving difficult in
view of the broken assortment, buyers gave
the preference to new at the difference in
the co-t. Offerings have bean pretty free
both here and to arrive, and it is intimated
that considerable amounts are sure to oome
forward in time to meet September contracts.
For future delivery there has been oonsider
able irregularity, with at times quite a feverish
tone, and on the whole a somewhat better
state of affairs fur the selling interest than
last week. Thp first turn for improvement was
obtained on the hints of a strung combination
to “corner” September, and this month in
consequence at once strengthened. Then
came colder weather here, reports of storms
at the South and a reduction in the orders to
sell, which carried a reaction into the later
mouths and infused a more general strength
into the market; as a general rush to cover
took place. The change of tone, however, was
almost entirely local, few orders from the
Sopth coming to baud to take in contracts,
and no purchases being made for investment
that we qould learn of beyond the ordinary
operations based on expectations of a quick
_tuin whenever the market becomes unsettled.
Past rec'SfpfiThave continued pretty well up to
expectations Tue crop report from New Or
leans. plaoing the figures for last season at
3,827.845 will, according to previous under
standing with the National Exchange, be ac
cepted as official. We hear little comment,
except that some of the “bulls” insist that is
simply absurd to look at these figures and ex
pect the liberal increase of production which
will be necessary to bring the present growth
up to the aggregate claimed as sure by so
many who seem to have already forgotten last
season's mistakes.
