The Timkh Office ban been removed from Gnu bj' Building to the old Enquirer Office, on Ran dolph Mtreet. third door west of the Font Offic Tn* price of potik this summer will probably remain at a high figure. At the lost meeting of the National Grange there was $130,000 in the treasury. 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. GKO KG It BltOV. 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. i'IVH, UII4HT-. 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 j certain sections. Detroit Free Pretut. RANKIN HOUSE. Columbus, Georgia. MRS. F. M. GRAY, Proprietress. ).

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.
