At the lost meeting of the National
Grange there was $130,000 in the

Pbesidkmt Grant, It is said on good
authority, favors tho “humanitarian
movement” of shipping all the ne
groes to Cuba and St. Domingo.
Hehjwob Thurman agrees with Mr.
Wilson in thinking that the fate of
the Republican party will be determ
ined by tho canvass in Ohio next fall.
The situation of tho Catholic
Church in America is the constant
theme of praise and congratulation
among its ecclesiastics abroad.
Georgia, Kentucky and California
contain in tholr constitutions provis
ions disqualifying for office those
who have fought a duel, or sent or
accepted a challenge to tight.
Madams Adelaide Ristori goes from
New York to the West, and from
thence to tho East Indies. The re
ceipts on tho night of her “benefit”
amounted only to SI,OOO.
THERE is an increasing coldness be
tween tho President and Vice Presi
dent Wilson. From this fact we in
fer that tho Vice President is a bettor
man than he has been generally con
sidered to bo by Southerners.
Cassius M. Clay will canvass tho
State of Kentucky for tho Democrat
ic ticket. This is a notable event, as
lie has been lighting the Democracy
all his life. It is due to the passage
of resolutions condemning Federal
interference in the domestic concerns
of the States.
The New York World suggests that
as Kelley had his eyes opened to his
error In regard to Southern murders
and outrages by a trip to the South,
he would do well to take a trip to
England, tho country of free trade
and hard money, for the purpose of
having his vision cleared in respect
of some othor errors which ho has
long cherished.
Mr. Frazkr, General Agent of the
M. & G. B. K., has very kindly left
with us soma shells and specimens,
(probably carbonate of lime), which
were taken from the railroad “cut” at
No. 7 (Suspension, Ala.) This sec
tion of country seems to bo filled with
doposits similar to thoso specimens.
Many of our creek beds contain them
also. Tho marl on tho Chattahoo
chee wo believe to bo of great value.
Tho Geological Bureau will soon de
termine this. We will forward theso
specimens to Prof. Little.
Prnirreim or Agricultural Wraith In
tlie West.
“Mr. S. B. Buggies, at tho Social
Science Congress gave a few statistics
on this subject. Ho showed that the
people of ten States living north of
the Ohio Kivor owned in 1850 farm
property valued at $914,000,000. In
1870 the value of this same property
was $5,132,000,000, and the population
of theso ton States has more than
doubled in the past ten years. The
value of the farm products in 1670 of
these States was $978,000,000. It was
also shown that 75 of every 1000 far
mers of these States owned farms.
In twenty years they liavo accumu
lated $5,00i1.000,1KK), 111 1870 there
were 8,000,000 farmers. This gives an
averngo income of $2,500 to each.
The average income of each farmer
above ten years of age was $460. In
theso ten States there was raised in
1850 300,000,000 bushels of grain ; in
1860 500.000,000 bushels; in 1870,810,-
000,000 bushels.”
Tho reason assigned by many for
tlio slow progress of the South in ag
ricultural wealth, is the presence of
so large a mass of negroes. That
this opinion by itself is erroneous,
we have only to instance tho State
of Florida. The largest immi
gration in tho United States, not ex
cepting California, wo believe is now
going to that State. Most of these
immigrants are negroes, but a very
largo proportion are whites who
carry capital with them. We learn
that more than a thousand negroes
have recently left Barbour county,
Alabama, for Florida.
Before turning our attention to
securing foreign emigration, let us so
act as to keep our laboring popula
tion busily and profitably employed
at home. A diversity of agricultural
pursuits will do this.
Canada is competing successfully
in some instances for the grain triple
of tho West.
We speak proudly and justly of
Northern enterprise and Northern
skill, and yet to-day the men of the
-southern, central, ami the northern
tier of Southern States, by the great
water communications that they have
opened and are opening; by the great
railway lines with which they are
wedding the West to tho ocean, are
already diverting much of your busi
ness to the State of Maryland that
belongs to thb State of New York.—
Addrem of Gen. Woodford before the
chamber of Commerce in Neir York.
In tho above extract we find the
true reason why the North is opposed
to rebuilding the levees on the Mis
sissippi, and to aid such enterprises
as the Croat Western Canal. The
sepulchral Morton, we fear, echoed
the sentiments of many in the North
when ho pronounced New Orleans a
dead city. ‘‘The wish was father to
tlie thought.”
‘‘lf Bismarck lmd dealt with France j
in the same spirit wit h which he dealt
with Austria after tho battle of Sa
dowa the result would have been the
downfall of the Napoleonic Empire,
the rise of an alliance between France
and Germany which would have been
a better guarantee of peace than all
the armaments on the Continent.
But, yielding to tho spirit of military
success and revenge, the German
policy became ruthless and tho Gor
man leaders deliberately imposed
upon France a treaty which was
meant to bo her humiliation, to crip
ple tier for generations, and threw
nor back into the condition of a sec
ond class Power. Bismarck frankly
avowed this purpose, saying that of
course France would want to light
aguin, and wtien tho time came Ger
many must have every advantage on
her side.”
Tho only difference between Bis
marck’s policy and thnt pursued by
the Federal Government towards tho
South is that tho purpose of tho latter
was not avowed. As Ben. Hill says:
“We wore choutcd into a surrender.”
Tho terms of tho surrender of Gen.
Johnston to Sherman wore grossly
violated.
The Inequalities of our Financial
System.
The Chicago Times gives tho Cin
cinnati Enquirer as authority for the
assertion that it would be almost im
possible for a Western farmer to bor
row money at a Cincinnati bank for
one year on real estate security short
of fifteen per cent. The Times adds:
“It is not tho business of city banks
to lend money for long periods of
time on real estate security." The
Enquirer retorts: “This illustrates
tho fact that tho financial system of
the country operates ugainst the far
mer. One year with him is no more
than sixty or ninety days with the
manufacturer, whom he supports.
Seed time and harvest happen but
once a ydar. Nature is not so rapid
as the mill. The merchant and the
manufacturer turn over their pro
ducts in sixty or ninety days and reup
their reward. The National Banks
have three hundred and fifty millions
of dollars in circulation, issued by
themselves. If our currency were not
dwarfed in quantity, and were not
within the control of a few men, far
mers would be able to borrow money,
even for one year; for their security,
built on lands that a panic can not
ruiu, is better than a commercial
name, whose value an hour may de
stroy. Fruitful farms are not pro
ducing three per cent. Houses are
not getting five per cent. Iron mines
and coal mines and mills, or many of
them, are not producing anything.
Merchants and manufacturers are
sailing close to the wind. About the
only ‘productive property’ to be seen,
under the present financial regime, is
this same money which the Times
calls ‘unproductive property.’”
While the complaint is general all
over the country where currency is
used, that the inequalities described
above do exist, yet it is very difficult
to prescribe the proper remedy.
Judge Kelley leads the inflationists
and strongly depicts the evils of too
rapid contraction. Other writers
claim that it Is an anomaly to have
such a disparity as exists between
tho U. S. bond worth 119 cents, when
gold is worth 116 cents currency.
All tho currency now in existence is
based upon tho bond, which the
Government is obliged to pay in
gold.
Tho legal tender act says that cur
rency shall be receivod in payment
of public and private debts, “except
import dues and tho interest on the
public debt,” There are those who
advocate tho repeal of the legal ten
der act so as to receive currency in
payment of all dues, and thus elevate
currency to equality with the bond
and gold. All the schemes advoca
ted have proven inadequate because
impracticable. Had not the Govern
ment been authorized to prevent tho
settlement of tho public debt and the
import dues with currency, money
could not have been borrowed from
abroad. As long as our bonds are
held abroad wo can not expect to
lower gold permanently to the value
of currency.
As for the farmers, tho less they
have to do with banks tho iietter it
will be. for them. The bank servos
the farmer as the spider did the (lv
that entered its gilded parlor. As
long as relief laws render real estate
an unsafe security, it can not be used
as collateral as readily as the mer
chants’wares can.
Columtm* Wholesale Market.
Occasionally wo hear people com
plain of Columbus, and say our mer
chants sell goods higher than other
places. They do not mean to say
that all goods are sold at a greater
price, but they point out one com
modity and show that at some other
point that same article is cheaper. In
many instances this is only a bait
held out to retail dealers to get their
custom, and when that is secured,
they make it up on other things. Co
lumbus has a number of fair, honest
dealing merchants, and when you
want goods at wholesale prices they
can and will duplicate the bills of
adjoining cities. All tiiat lias been
needed was the effort on the part of
our citizens to build up, reach out and
secure tho trade for miles around us.
One or two houses cannot control it,
but it requires more men in the field.
To a great extent there has been a
lack of advertising. This, however,
is a matter of private judgment, and
each man is presumed to know how
to manage his own business. We
allude to the lack of advertising in
reference to giving prominence to Co
lumbus as a market.
If the retail dealers around Colum
bus will try our market, we think
they can be induced to continue to
make Columbus their headquarters.
In tile fall the wholesale business, we
learn, will be thoroughly tried, as
men of enterprise and means will em
bark in the business. We have a few
wholesale houses already in opera
tion, and in addition to those men
tioned last week, we are glad to note
the old established house of Boatrite
& Clapp. They have probably done
as much towards advertising them
selves and Columbus as any house in
the city, and we are sure they have
found it has paid them.
Gordon & Cargill also do a whole
sale business. Columbus has a whole
sale kerosene factory in full opera
tion. and can furnish that article in
Columbus at tho same price that it
j costs in Louisville and New York,
; thereby enabling the purchaser to
gavo the freight between Columbus
and those places.
When Columbus lias more whole
sale houses, and our merchants send
out their agents in every section of
the country, Columbus will rank
among the largest interior wholesale
markets in the South.
Bedell &Cos., wholesale liquor deal
ers und tobacconists, have ao agent
in the field all the while. The con
sequence is that they do an immense
business, and we are credibly in
formed they have more orders fre
quently than they can fill. This il
lustrates tho immediate necessity for
more wholesale houses. Tho retail
business is evidently overdone in Co
lumbus. In the fall Columbus will
take on anew life, and everybody
will be more prosperous.

THE (JEOI.OUCAI, 111 lIK.W OF I2EOK
eiA.
Of the mineral wealth of our State
Professor Little says: “Of far more
importance to the State than the
copper deposits are the beds of iron,
which we have found at intervals all
along our route from the Tennessee
line, in Fannin county, to the Eto
wah fiver, near Cartersville, and
thence, westward from Allutoona to
Pryor’s Station, on the Alabama line.
“By far, the most extensive beds of
iron yet found lie near Cedartown, on
the lino of th§ Cartersville and Van
Wert Railroad.” It is being devel
oped by the
CHEROKEE IKON WORKS,
with a capital of $250,000. it lias
about 17,000 acres pine lands attached:
limestone is abundant in the vicinity.
There are sixteen coal kilns fbrick.J
Next, we find the
■ETNA IRON' WORKS,
in Polk county, with a capital of
$75,000. One furnace, for making
charcoal iron, averaging ten tons a
day. Lime, from Jacksonville, Ala
bama. Cost of production of pig
iron, $4-1 per ton; last salo, in Lou
isville, $22 per ton ; freight, to Louis
ville, $5 70; to New York, $lO 30.
The Tei-umseh Furnace and Stonewall
Funner, near Rome, Found Mountain
and the Cornwall Iron Works, are
situated in Alabama, but affect the
material prosperity of Rome, Ga.
THE RIDOE VALLEY IRON WORKS
in Floyd county, capital $75,000; ore
scarce; lime abundant; capacity,
twelve tons per day.
THE BARTOW IRON WORKS,
on the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, south of Etowah river.
The Coko Furnace—Charge, 600 lbs.
coke, 900 lbs. ore, 300 lbs. limestone;
yields about 20 tons per diem, drawn
off at 5 a. M., 1 r. m. and 9 P. m, ; en
gine, 150 home power; water pumped
from valley, three-fourths of a mile
distant, by an upright eight-horse en
gine ; small portable engine, for crush
ing limestone.
The Charcoal Furnace Charge, 15
bushels charcoal, 500 lbs. ore, 75 lbs.
limestone; yields seven tons in twen
ty-four hours. The ore, (brown hem
atite,) is obtained near by; limestone
from quarry, near Kingston; coke
from Dade county, and from Ala
bama.
ROGERS’ IRON WORKS,
capital 5t40,000; capacity seven tons
per day.
Ward’s Furnace -Yield, four tons,
cold-blast iron per diem, from thirty]
charges of 12 bushels charcoal; 00
lbs. limestone, and 400 lbs. ore.
James Poole’s Furnace Similar to
tho above; yielding about the same
quantity per day; ids Speigel iron is
made from 75 pr et. iron ore, and 25 pr
cent, manganese. He is the oldest
practical iron man in the State.
“THE THOMAS FURNACE.”
This is the first furnace built in this
section, (and we suppose in the State.
—-En.) It was built in 1846. Dr.
Lewis built I’oolo's furnace in 1840.
These three last named furnaces are
on Stamp creek, and are run by water
power.” They arc supplied with ore
from twelve different banks within a
radius of from five to ten miles.
Among these the most important are
the “Burford” bank, tho “Peachtree”
bank, tho “Munford” bank, the
“Wild Cat” and the “Guyton” bank.
As an instance of the great value of a
thorough physical survey of the State
we will mention a sale. The Mun
ford farm, containingssoacres, hand
somely Improved, and lying on Pett
et’s creek, contains perhaps three
acres of ore. This ore Mr. Schofield,
of the Schofield Rolling Mills, Atlan
ta, Georgia, told the writer was the
finest for his purposes south of Lake
Superior. The farm and appurten
ances, including the ore, was said two
years ago at public sale for $8,500.
The purchaser, Mr. L. S. Munford,
has since sold the ore bed alone for
SO,OOO, after having reaped handsome
profits from the sale of the ore before
selling the right to the mines. He
owns the entire farm, witli the excep
tion of tho ore hods, and has made a
clear profit above expenses of one
thousand dollars in two years, be
sides getting his money back.
Again, in order to note the impor
tance of a thorough analysis of ores
before testing them practically, we
can state that one of our most enter
prising and successful iron men sunk
$30,000 in testing ores, when SSOO ex
pended in employing a competent
i geologist and chemist would have
i saved much of the expense. We know
|of a bed, located not more than a
! quarter of a mile from Munford’s,
! that, after having been mined to the
! extent of several thousand dollars,
i was abandoned temporarily because
; it was so difficult to work up—much
of it being valueless. “The ores in
these ‘banks’ are various kinds of
brown hematite, and in pockets, some
of which are very large, but irregu
lar, and generally near the tops of
the hills.” Charcoal costs 6c. per
bushel. Lime is hauled from the
Tennessee Road. To raise the ore at
the Burford bank (the writer recent
■ ly in copartnership with a gentleman
in Atlanta bought this bank and four
hundred acres of land for $5,000- the
owner having paid s4<(o for it about
thirty years ago and supported his
family from the farm ever since)
costs $1 per ton, and tho furnaces
pay a royalty of 30c. per ton. Miners
get $1 to $2 per day, and teamsters $1
for driving six-mule teams. We think
Prof. Little will sustain us in the as
sertion that tho ore from the Burford
bank is, all things considered, the
most valuable to the furnaces-if
transportation was cheap—yet dis
covered in Georgia. (The writer docs
not now own any interest In the Bur
ford mine and has “no axe to grind,”
but simply tells his convictions, hav
ing lived near these “banks” for sev
eral years.! The six furnaces last
named and the twelve ore banks, to
gether wtth many others, are situated
in Bartow county.
I As further proof of the services of
our able State Geologist we quote
from his report- from which we have
culled most of the facts given above:
“The best iron bank in this State was
bought by u Now Yorker for $3,000.”
“A wealthy Pennsylvanian told me
that he had expended $3,000 in geo
logical explorations in this State.”
“Within the last week a Baltimorean
has visited an adjoining county, with
a chemist and mining engineer, to
inspect and purchase a property that
will probably, if the vein is continu
ous, yield $60,000 per annum, and was
lately purchased for S4OO. The pro
perty, it is estimated, will yield $2,700
per day for working.”
Tilt’ ( riltrul ItepuOliran Committee
Of California has just issued an ad
dress of which tho following is a part:
“The rebel Democracy of the South
hope to remove the obstacle of na
tional restraint, by possessing them
selves of the Presidency. This is a
more imminent danger than loyal
men generally suppose. Thu aggre
gate electoral vote of the Union is 366.
Necessary to a choice, 164. Of these
the Southern States have 136. If vio
lence, fraud and intimidation can
consolidate for a Democratic candi
date the 138 Southern votes, only 46
out of 223 Northern votes will be nec
essary for the success of the treason
able disunion faction of the Demo
cratic party. The 136 Southern votes
made by the White Leaguers would
not go over the 46, but would absorb
them.
“The end of these t hings is to come
next year. Either the rebel Demo
cracy” will then regain power in the
nation, and so “the empire will be
peace,” such as reigned on the plan
tations before the war, or else the
party of law and order will prevail,
and equal rights be enforced by rulers
fresli from the people.”
Concerning the party of law and
order one of its most prominent load
ers Judge W. D. Kelley, of Pennsyl
vania, speaks as follows:
Circumstances that had transpired
in Louisiana, Mississippi, anti Arkan
sas seemed to me to justify very strin
gent legislation, and it is on this
point that my convictions have been
modified.
If this policy is still persisted in we
shall go from bad to worse, as Eng
land did, when by the act of 1619 Par
liament fixed the day four years in
advance when specie payment should
be resumed, until we, too, shall have
our Peterboro and Bristol riots, to
suppress which troops will be requir
ed to lire upon the suffering people.
This unwise legislation has pressed
with peculiar severity upon the pov
erty-stricken, desolated South, and
has begotten widespread discontent,
as it is now doing throughout the
North ; and this has been the refrain
: of all my recent conversations.

A TEXAS .1 upon GIVES HIS VERSION of
THE LAW.
New Orleans, May !. -Judge Mor
reites, of the United Stales District
Court fur tin l Eastern District of
Texas, in his charge to the grand
jury to-day, reviewed the civil rights
law, and expressed the opinion that
all persons have a legal right to have
board and lodgings at inns, transpor
tation on steamers and railroads or
stages and entrance in theatres,
while they do not thereby acquire
any social right. To hold that a con
ductor of a railroad train cannot as
sign a special car to ladies and chil
dren and their attendants, to tlte ex
clusion of all others, provided the
other passengers are furnished with
other cars with all the necessary fa
cilities for traveling, would, he says,
be to stab sobial rights privileges
; and immunities. Therefore, my view
1 of tite act is that it was not intended
i to affect social rights through civil
! and legal rights. In conclusion, the
judge said that if it should be made
to appear that any inn-keepers, man
agers of theatres or transportation
agents had refused proper facilities
to any one on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude,
the grand jury would have authority
to find a trim bill against such per
sons.
Endian Maladministration.
The brief yet painful recital which
Colonel Hatch makes of maladminis
tration at the Fort Sill and Wichita
Indian agencies adds another suggest
ive chapter to the history of the gov
ernmental dealings with the Indians
under the present administration. It
appears by the statement of Colonel
Hatch, which is indorsed and sub
stantiated by General Pope, that the
Indians at the agencies named are
not only not allowed by the govern
ment a sufficient quantity of supplies,
but that they do not reciove that to
which they are undoubtedly entitled.
We warrant, however, that the gov
ernment has to pay for every ounce
of supplies which it is bound jo fur
nish, and it is not a strained influ
j cnee, in view of the state of things
; which exists, that it is not considered
[of much importance in Washington
I what becomes of the Indian appropri
j ations so long as the money is all ex
pended.
Meantime while this sublime eou
| fidenee exists at Washington, the In
j dians are practically at the mercy of
: the agents and the large firms, such
I as that with which Orville S. Grant
j is connected, which have been given
i monopolies of the Indian trade in

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
| Entirely rewritten By the ablest writer* on every
nubjeot. Priutei from new type, aud illu*-
t rated with Several Thousand Engravings
end Maps,
The work originally published under the title
of The Nkw American Oycloi.*dia was com
pleted in 186 J, Mince which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained in all parts of the
United StateM.aud the nigual develjpmentM which
have taken place in every branch of science, lit
erature and art, have induced the editor* aud
publishers to submit It to an exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The
American Cvclopjrdia.
Within the last ton years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made u new work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their lruitiul
application to the industrial aud uscftil arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred. involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its hedght when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical kuowl
odge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought ami
important sieges maintained, of which tho de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in tho transient publications of tho day, but
which onght now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition f‘>r the press,
it lias accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi- j
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, aud of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, ns well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political aud historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page lias been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan aud compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time iu the present edition have been added
not for tie- sake ot pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu
the text. They embrace ail branches of science
aud of natural history, aud depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although iuteuded fur instruction rather than
embelishmi ut. no pains have been spared to iu- !
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopaedia, anti worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

TH E SU N.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOE 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1873. \Y shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully aud fearlessly.
* TILE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circula-
I tiou of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found in every State and Territory, aud its
quality is well known to the public. We shall
not only cudettvor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve and add to its variety
aud power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found iu it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated iu a clear, interesting aud instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Run the best
family newspaper in the world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
j The Agricultural Department is u prominent
! feature in the Weekly Sun, and Its articles Will
j always be found fresh and useiul to the farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
! increasing, and the Weekly Run is their paper
| especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
! dictation, contending for principle, and t<>r the
| election of the best men. It exposes the corrup-
I tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
j overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
j fear of knaves, ami sei-ks no favors from their

| The price e! the WEEKLY SDN is one dollar a
I year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col

! postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rat of subscription. It is not necessary to get
j up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
rate. Any otic who sends one dollar and twenty
| cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agent*.
