DAILY TIMES. < ol tl IlllMlH. <>•• THURSDAY FEBRUARY 4, lifts. . wii.i.im*. - • W**- The Time. (MM* Uln Ounliy'a Building (p-ttr), on Mt. Clair itreat. XOV-PIIUIIICKII*. The fact of our dally decline us n people, In wealth and independence, attracts the attention of the roost careless and indifferent; as well as the fact that the wealt h of the coun try Is centralizing In the hands of the few, causing a disintegration in soci ety, which is alarming in its tendency as well as hurtful in its present oper ations. This is not true of America only, but it is equally true of Euro pean nations, and csi>eclnlly so in England, where, thirty years ago, the manufacturing interest was carried on by the lubor of the capitalist as well as by his money the employer working with the employed. How, the large manufacturer bus swallow ed the smaller, and the working men are organized In industrial armies, and are known only to the employer as they receive their wages through the hole of the pay office, to ho spent for the week’s provision bills and other necessities of life. Why is it thus, and why does it continue ? The laboring classes, which ure by far the majority, arc seldom beyond the con lines of want and destitution; they are daily becoming more numerous, but still are no better situated in re gurd to the necessities of the future. Thoy receive a very fair and equitable compensation for their labor, upon the principle of supply and demand. Is it duo to their not being properly educated In regard to economy and the importance of providing for tho future ? It is not wholly due to defi ciency in economy, hut is partly, if not In a very great degree, due to tho centralizing influence which pervades sooioty - t he disposition to congregate In cities thereby increasing the vast and unproportioned majority of non producers as compared to tho few who remain in the country to till the land. "Win the day not soon dawn when farming will tie us honorable as merchandising, as the professions, as manufacturing, or any other business carried on in cities when manhood and youth will cultivate the broad acres, that-ure now barren and de serted, and for sale for a mere song ? We ure not of those who are so narrow-tnindod as not to see, in life, many fields of employment, in which to cultivate a diversity of talent, according as one’s Inclinations may lead; nor do wo believe all should be farmers; but to those who are poor and needy those who are living from day to day who are struggling for something in tho scale of fortune to turn up, we would say why not turn your backs upon the city, and go where water is pure and clear, where the air is devoid of the foul taint of the city, and reap in tho golden luir yoat, health and competency for self and family of puny, sickly children, who are now subjected, in the towns and cities, to tho worst social influ ences? Laud is cheap, very cheap, either to rent or purchase. Have you nut tried the city sufficiently to test your future increase there? How fast are you growing rich ? How many of you livo and die, after a life of dili gent labor in the city, as poor as you began? It is true, the city lias its advantages, but It likewise lias its disadvantages. One sees more, hoars more, and in that sense lives more; but with it all there arc many temp tations—temptations to sin, to spend money foolishly, to spend one’s time in idleness and vice. While, in the country, you might not see so much of tho world and its doings, yet, you would feel moro; you would bo inde pendent upon your own land, and would not bo numbered among that class of dependents, the non-pro ducers and there is notone of that class but whose future is as “Night, In the zenith of her dark domain.’’ To our <'orrrt.|M>mli'nt. We are in receipt of several letters propounding questions. To the wri ters we will say that in our Sunday's issue we will endeavor to answer them, and as many more ns may he received by that time. We have received several commu nications recently, which wo like and admire, but under the rule we can not publish them, for they are not accompanied by the name of tho au thor. We hold the name of any con tributor a sacred secret, and it will not be given to the public; so when you write us interesting communica tions, don’t hesitate to send your name. —• The joint Finance Commltte, in their report on the appropriation bill relating to the salaries of legislative and judicial oflioors of tho State rec ommended decreasing tho following salaries: They substitute one in the plane of two clerks for the Comptrol ler General, and tlx the salaries of the clerk of the Secretary of State, the clerk of the State Treasurer and the clerk of the Comptroller General at $1,500, instead of SI,OOO. They cut down the salary of the State Libra rian from SI,OOO to $1,200. Tho com pensation of the journalizing clerks of the Senate and House were chang ed from $750 to S4OO. The clerks of the House and Senate are hereafter to receive $5 per day instead of SB. The assistant door and gallery keep ers of the houses will draw $5 per day instead of $7. The porters are to re ceive $s i>er day instead of $5. The committee changes the number of l*ag('s from two to one, and will pay him $2 per day. They will hereafter allow the State $12,000 Instead of $20,- 000 for the maintenance of her public buildings. In the London Time* many persons have argued pro and eon. the ques tion whether vultures are drawn to carrion bv the senseof sight or smell. Far tiro larger number of facts ad duced sustain the theory that the sense of sight alone is the guide. UI'R ATI.ANTI I.KTTEIt. H|m r ini Corre*i'ndrnoe of the Daily Tnom.J Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2d, 1875. One of the great questions in which the whole State feds a deep Interest has been readied by the Senate. They have made the usury question the spe cial order for to-morrow. A lively de bate is sure to tie had over it. The j general opinion is that no legislation will bo made on the subject; but there arc quite a number of men in the Sen ate who arc proud to lie called “old fogies,” and who want all our laws like these of our fathers. The general sentiment of tho peo ple, however, is against any re-enact ment of usury laws. The press of the State is almost unanimously arrayed against any legislation on the sub ject. Notwithstanding tho fact that, there are many men of tine abilities who favor a usury law, still there can be no doubt but that they are advo cating an expedient which is con demned by tlie experience of all na tions, and Is contrary to the funda mental rules of political economy. It may be safely predicted that if a usury law were put In force neither debtors tier creditors would receive any material benefit, and it would soon lie found politic to erase the statute. In tills, as well as in all oth er questions of governmental policy, it will be found that experience is the best of teachers —the safest of guides. The duties of the Comptroller Gen eral have boon greatly lightened by a bill which has just been passed, pro viding that tho agricultural returns of the Htate will hereafter be consoli dated and published by the Commis sioner of Agriculture. Chancellor Tucker lias been invited to address botli branches of the Leg islature on “The Wants and Condi tion of the Slate University.” This institution is much in need of a con siderable amount of money for re pairs, and as soon as the State can af ford it, an entirely new set of build ings ought to lie orccted. Mr. Wortlien introduced a bill in tlie House on yesterday which will meet the hearty approval of every far mer. It authorizes the Governor to offer a reward or ssoofor (lie arrest, of any incendiary guilty of burning a gin-house. Tlie bill is just what is needed. There has been far too great a destruction of proiwrty on farms in Georgia for tlie past, two years. No less than fifty gin-houses were burned during last year, and nearly all this number were fired by incendiaries. Tho perpetrators of these crimes should lie apprehended and made to suffer the severest penalty of the law. Mr. Worthen’s hill will cause tlie au thorities to be more watchful, and bring many a villain to justice. Tho negroes who attacked Casey in ids own cellar, about a week ago, have acknowledged the deed, and one has confessed that the murder of Mrs. Casey was also contemplated. Pub lic feeling ifl very strong against, tlie murderers, anil it is morally certain that the gallows will soon receive two worthy victims. Tlie competition between the eity iiewspopers continues as strong as ever. There are four daily papers published in Atlanta, which puts it ahead of any city in the South in this line. We suppose t hey all manage to live, but the struggle of some of them must be hard. Col. Peterson Thweatt lias given vent to his outraged feelings in a se rial entitled "Whipped, lint not Con quered.” His energetic zeal deserves success. Occasional. • • Skei.no the paragraph about tlie fif ty morphia bottles found in the trunk of a Vicksburg woman, a writer on the Petersburg tVa.) Index remarks: “That looks like a pretty free use of the narcotic, but we know even a more excessive use of tlie deadly drug. A lady of this State who died some years ago left behind two flour barrels filled with morphia bottles. It was calculated by her husband that her indulgence had cost him ten thousand dollars through the several years during which her vitality re sisted and survived its effects. “Banditti Punch” is advertised by the New Orleans saloon keepers, and when a gentleman wants a friend to drink with him his invitation is thus expressed; “Are you afraid ?” The friend answers, "I am not afraid,” and the two proceed to splice tlie main brace. • • A Hist Kxlrtuirillnary litiilrtmil Acci dent. The Bay City (Mich.) Chronicle of Tuesday has tlie following: “On the Detroit unit Buy City Railroad, on Thursday night last, an accident oc curred which eclipses anything on record in the annals of railroading. The accident occurred on the south bound night express. It appears that when tlie train was in tlie vicinity of Oxford. Conductor Noyes felt a slight blit sudden shock, and heard the bell rope snap. He sprang to the brake, and after setting it, swung his lamp fertile engine to stop. Tlie train went a distance of four or live lengths before heing halted, but when it came to a standstill everything was fomul to be ail right excepting that one Blue Line ear just ahead of the ims senger coach was missing. A search was instituted, and the missing ear was found in tlie ditch in tlie rear of the train. From tiuit po sition of tilings it appeared that the front end of the ear had jumped tlie track, severing the connection witli tlie ear ahead as it did so. The combined force of the ears in t lie roar as they came down on the “off" oar served to end it around until finally the rear draw-bar twist ed it off (tho night was very frosty, I and the ear was free. The couches kept pushing it further, until fniallv the Blue Line had been sent entirely from the track, and at right angles with it, clearing the rail by fully three feet. The rear coaches rolled past the ditched ear as if nothing had happened, and stopped without acci dent or without the Knowledge of the passengers several car lengths be yond. The engine stopped and back ed u[', connections were made, tlie trackmen were sent for to gauge tlie rails, and the train one ear short, proceeded on Us way, making its meeting point at the next station, whore tlie particulars of the accident were stated, and the remarkable af fair duly discussed with the attaches of the north bound train, which was met at that point. UF.ORUIA XKWM. No more babies found in Augusta to tlie hour of going to press. John Soullycut John Cason in the back in a melee at Augusta Monday night. Macon is agitated over tlie enor mous price of gas charged by tlie ga-- light company. —The young men of Atlanta are surely bull-struck. They luiveanoth er bull on the 9th inst. at DeGlve s opera house. —The street railroad of Macon was to liuvo been sold at public sale yes terday, but for the present the sale has been postponed. —From the Chronicle and Sentinel: Tho Savannah river at Augusta rose from nine foot Friday night at 9 o’clock, to twenty feet eight inches Saturday afternoon at 9 o’clock. —Gov. Smith yesterday pardoned Taylor Turner convicted some two years ago of assault with intent to murder Mr. Dick Clarke, and sen tenced to a term of four years in th penitentiary. -On Thursday morning last the freight train on the Atlantic and Gulf railroad ran off the track. Eleven ears were thrown off, und the road torn up for some hundred and fifty yards. No serious damage. The Atlanta Herald prints a full synopsis of Col. W. H. Sparks’ lecture oh S. S. Prentiss in that city a few nights sineo, and says it was "splen did, and that nothing superior to it in that line lias ever been heard in At lanta.” It is understood Gov. Smith will order an election to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Mc- Millan, on tt*e sth day of next May. The Democratic executive committee is called to meet at Gainesville on tlie 9th of February. —A woman fiend name: I Carrie Gun left her infant child at the Central railroad depot, and took the train for Columbus. The police of Macon ob tained her description und had her arrested in Fort Valley, and carried back to Macon. —For some time past the Houth western Railroad attachees have been trying to catch the man who lias re peatedly placed obstructions on the road. They succeeded in finding the name of the individual, and on infor mation of the fact one Jack Calhoun left these parts. Gen. D. M. Dußose, of Washing ton, drew the grand piano in the At lanta ConetiUttUm'* prize drawing last Saturday night. The Herald. says all the prizes were drawn by persons outside of Atlanta, and that tlie proprietors of the ConetUuiion announce this to he the last drawing it will ever have. The receipts at the door were something over $10(1, which was turned over to the Orphans’ Home. —Why Atlanta is called the Gate City is'explained by the LaGrauge Ueporter as follows: This question, often asked, is now solved. It. is be cause of the number of gates about the passenger depot, all of which are constantly kept shut. When a pas senger gets off a train [in the depot, lie is compelled to hunt all around the depot to find a gate that is not locked. This is beneficial in one re spect; it makes him swear that he will not go to Atlanta again if lie can help it and the more a man stays away from Atlanta, as a general rule, the better off lie is. Then, again, when ho wants to return home, lie j must hunt all around tlie depot again to find a little hole to creep through. When lie finds this, he must show a ; ticket before lie is allowed to enter. Sometimes a man simply wants to bid a friend goodbye, m which ease he must, buy a ticket of admission or kiss his friend through tile liars. Tills also hfts its effect; it induces him to curse the authorities in At lanta, and they need it if anybody does, for they are guilty of downrigh t tyranny in enacting such regulations about the depot und enforcing them by the police. If the tiling is not better arranged by the time we go to Atlanta again, we shall get the Pres ident to declare the authorities ban ditti, and turn them over to,Sheridan. Tho mail robber of Macon has at last been caught in the person of u white boy fifteen years old. His name is riot given. The authorities found in ids possession over three hundred letters, and with the letters several drafts for large sums one draft being for four thousand dollars. The Tele graph says: Wesuw the heaps of mail yesterday. Some of them were too badly defaced for tlie superscription to be read ; but many of them wore notat all, or only slightly damaged. A large number of letters were for Messrs, s. Waxei baum & Urn. There were also many for Rogers & Bonn, F. H. Johnson & Sons, the Exchange Bank, Seymour, Tinsley &Cos Hardeman & Sparks, 11. Findlay’s Sons, tlie Brown House, R. W. &S. H. Jem non, Isaac Harde man, and others. Many of tlie let ters contained drafts. We saw one draft for $4,(100, another tor $1,149. and fifteen or twenty others for vari ous amounts, and tlie eon tents of only a few of the letters were examined in our presence, and they were only of those that were for the Exchange Bank and Messrs. Rogers A Bonn. The boy appears to have laid no no tion of the value of the drafts, or else was too.cunning to attempt to use them. Each one seemed to have been replaced in tlie letter in which it be longed. Probably his object, was to find letters containing money. How well he succeeded in this will possibly never he known. The boy says he has been carrying oil this system of lobbing tlie mails since November, but letters wore found in his deposit which dated fur ther back than that. Whether his depository contained all the letters he lias ever taken is not known. The probability, i* that he has destroyed manv.

The British iron-clad Thunderer has just received two thirty-eight ton guns, the first “issued.” Tita Faleieri, Lord Byron's Ital ian servant, who was with the poet when lie died, has just died in Lon don, aged 78 years. —ln stirring his lire the fireman on a French locomotive found a human foot in bis ash-pan, and that was tho first intimation they had that they bad killed n man some hours before. They have just caught, a rag-pick er in Palis, whom the butchers found unprofitable. He hud tmined a dog to steal at the butcher doors the choicest small cuts of meat, which the faithful animal brought to his master around the corner. There was received at, the Dead Letter Office of tlie Post Office De partment, the other day, a package containing half a dozen snakes, two of them dead and the remainder alive. One of them is a copperhead, five feet long. The reptiles were in closed in a tin box, perforated with holes, and were addressed to Germa ny', but had been stopped at New York on account of overweight, the postage not being sufficient.
