The TiMkk Office has bp®n removed from Gun by e Building to the old Enquirer OfH<, on Ran dolph street, third door west of the Pont office. The cost of tho TcnnesßOO public schools was last year about $1 60 per scholar. Had It not been for the combined efforts of Russia and England, war would have been declared between Germany and France. Six thousand German families are preparing to emigrate from Prussia on account of the oppressive con scription there. Bill Ai.leh has made a declaration of Democratic Independence in Ohio Which is bound to result in the rescue of tho country from a despotism as great as that of George 111., in 1770. The University of North Carolina will be revived this year. A faculty Is to bo elected in Juno, and the In stitution will be opened to students on the first. Wednesday in .Septem ber. At every tho exposure of the Whiskey Ring frauds, fresh light is thrown on the corruption which has penetrated the Internal Revenue ser vice. A thorough reorganization Is necessary. A student of the Stato College de molishes the theory of Mr. Stephens with regard to the origin of torna does. Rut ho ascribes the errors to tho "Inaccuracy of the reporter.’ It Is a good articlo, and one character ized by modest good sense. Col. Boott's Mexican Jaunt. Col. Scott, tho great railroad builder, is back to St. Louis from his jaunt to Mexico. He informs the Democrat that lie had a delightful visit, and speaks enthusiastically of the great wealth of our sister Republic, which ho doubts not will before long have direct rail connection with St. Louis, j If there ever was a nation that de served to be recognized, it is that of Cuba. The war increases in ferocity, and draws no nearer to completion. Spain is the most decayed of Euro pean nationalities, and tho govern ment can not even maintain tho in tegrity of its own territory. In spite of tho desert ion of many of his subor dinate commanders, Don Carlos still holds his own.* Let Cuba be recog nized! — ' The Richmond Whig, Augusta Con stitutionalist, Macon Telegraph and Columbus Times think that Col. A. R. Lamar, formerly Clerk of the Confederate House of Representa tives, and one of the most forcible writers in tho South, is the fittest man in the country for the Clerkship of tho next House of Representatives. Let every paper in the State speak out. Col. Lamar is our Choice above any man in the South, if tho position is tendered to a Southerner. A committee from the Puddler’s Union visited Mr. Schofield, the superintendent of tho rolling mill in Atlanta, and served him with a notice that, unless tho within agreement was complied with, they would quit. Mr. Schofield refused to accede, tell ing them thut he preferred that the furnaces should bo idle rather than bo ruled by any union. The men wont back to work, but their decis ion is yet held in abeynnee. We de cline to eommentuntilwe know their action and the causes thereof. We think “strikes” a bad remedy. The KarnlnKK of the stair iioml -Col. Cole’s Kpeecli. Col. Colo lately delivered a speech beforo tho Board of Directors of the Georgia Road, in which ho showod that tho Btate Road, of which ho is Vice President, with its 138 miles of track, earns a great deal more than tho Georgia Road, of which ho was latoly Superintendent, with its 229 miles of track. He proved this indis putably by stating that the State Road (W. & A R. R.) for the Inst fis cal year had made a net earning of ♦600,000. It is statod by the Atlanta News that tho lessees claim that the State road only made a net earning of $256,000, and that the two previ ous years left no net earnings what ever. Until all tho facts are made known, we abstain from comment. Both tho Georgia Road aud t ho State Road are making strenuous efforts to .seeure the services of Gen. Mcßae as Superintendent. It would seem from these efforts that the prosper ous condition of tho State Road is largely ascribed to-his efficient man agement. The Way to Secure (inraiirruntN. A correspondent of the Florida Union writes tho following letter. It is equally applicable to our State: To the Editor of the Union: Sin—Having seen the letter of one of vour well-known citizens, Geo. J. Aides, of New Smyrna, in the Chi cago Inter-Ocean, which has given us the first information we have had in regard to Florida, and has caused such a "Florida fever” in the West, I have visited the section of the State of which ho wrote and can vouch for tho truth of his statements, and have located on tho Halifax river. I am glad to learn that Mr. Alden is about to publish a pamphlet to be distributed in the Northwest, and 1 am satisfied that his publication will cause a thousand families in the Northwest to settle in Florida. Our section in the West is flooded with publications relative to the climate, resources, etc., of California, but nothing can be had of Florida. I trust success will attend Mr. Alden's efforts. Respectfully, G. H. Norton, Late of Arkansas City, Kansas. TaaShtivUte, May 14,1875. —Cardinal McCloskey is to make Miss Rucker "The Bandit’s Bride.” tied. John C. HrecklnrnlKr. Tho death of Gen. John C. Breck inridge will fill tho South with mourning. No other name in our history is so embalmed in our hearts as his, except Gen. R. E. Lee’s. Thoso two formed the purest, highest typo of manhood. Whether In civil or mil itary life, no man ever heard the slightest whisper against tho charac ter of Loo or Breckinridge. Digni fied yet geniLi, commanding yet cour teous, bravo and ohlvalrio yet humble Christians, us loaders of men they had no superiors. The perfection of physical beauty, these two men would have adorned tho manhood of nny nationality. In Paris, Franco, as well as in Lex ington, Ky., Gen. Breckinridge com manded respect, and yet was as ap proachable to tho humblest us well as the greatest as any man whom Nature has ever stamped “great.” Ho was born near Lexington on January 21st, 1821, and was a grandson of Hon. John Breckinridge, U. S. Senator from Kentucky and Attorney General of the United States. Gen. Breckin ridge graduated at Centro College, Danville, and studied law at Transyl vania Institute, Ky. After a short residence in lowa he returned to Ken tucky, and married Miss Birch, of Georgetown, und settled at Danville. At the opening of tho Mexican war he volunteered, and was soon elected Major of Third Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers. After his return he was elected to the House of Representatives of the United States over Gen. Leslie Combs. Again, in 1853, he defeated Governor Letcher. Ho delivered the eulogy on Henry Clay, although they were of different parties. He was offered the Ministry toSpaln by President Pierce, but declined it. In 1856 Senator Breckinridge was elected Vice Presi dent of the United States, witli Buch anan as President. Though he was the youngest man who ever filled that office, and though his courtesy, dig nity and just dealings marked him as the most promising of American statesmen, he resigned all the great honors of political life that ho might illustrate on tho battle-field the principles of his life and protect his , beloved country. In 1860 General Breckinridge was doemod fit to receive still higher honors, and was nominated by tho National Democratic Conven tion for President of the United States, but was defeated by the over whelming tide which swept over the country that year and placed Mr. Lincoln in (he Presidential choir. Gen. B. died from the effects of a wound received during the war. His Confederate history is known to all; hence we say no more. A Revolution In Public Mentimeut. In the past few years public sym pathy has been with the accused, for the very good and sufficient reason that Southern people are magnani mous und generous to a fault. In tho past year a great revolution lias taken place with tho people, and they are firmly convinced now that the only wuy in which to ensure respect for law is a rigid accountabil ity to the law. Alabama has been repeatedly slandered, and called “tho land of crime” and tho hiding place of murderers; yet from all sections of that State comes tho cry of vindica tion. This great revolution has taken place in Alabama in such an incredi ble short space of time, that but few are bold enough now to violate her laws. Now devoutly do we hope the good news lias reached our own sec tion. Under the administration of Judges Hall and Hopkins crimo is lessening in their section, and tho people have determined to enforce tho law. Muscogee county has now in session a grand jury composed of men who are not afraid to do their duty, and indict the few lawless characters with which Columbus is infested. When the revolution in public opin ion starts, we hope it will not go to ex tremes. Crimes have boen commit ted in our county, that cause four llfths of her citizens to blush with shame, and they demand that the criminals shall be punished. Colum bus and her citizens aro orderly, law abiding people, who discountenance crimes in friend or foe, and ttio great injustice that has boen laid upon her people, she is in no way responsible for. Alone are responsible tho few evil designing men in the communi ty. When free from them and their bad acts, Columbus will enjoy her former good reputation. People will learn the lesson that men are created, not to bo waylaid, plundered, robbed or murdered by any vindictive feeling or of gain. Tho citizens of tho coun ty look forward with a hightened de gree of satisfaction at the speedy re volution in the administration of the criminal law of the country. Personal. Capt, Woldridge, “tho blind man eloquent,” honored us with a cull yesterday morning. Capt. Woldridge is a lawyer of high social and profes sional standing, who had to abandon his profession, owing to a gun-shot wound received at the battle of Per ryville, Kentucky, by which his sight was totally destroyed. All who saw it, will remember the famous charge oil Mancy’s Brigade on that memorable day. We would respect fully suggest to Captain Woldridge to lecture upon the deeds of valor performed by the Western Army during the war. History thus far has by uo means done that army justice, and every soldier’s heart will respond to the or at r, who brings to light the heroism yet untold and unsung. Captain Wooldridge read law under Gen. John C. Brown, Governor of Tennes see, who endorses him in the highest terms. Our people owe it to them selves to aid the heroes who were maimed and rendered dependent by the heroic struggle in defence of their country's liberties. We huvo never heard Mr. Wooldridgo lecture, but tho Press speak in very high terms of his efforts as a leoturer. He goes to Tolbotton to lecture shortly, and from there will visit other towns. Our best wishes will accompany him, and wo hope he will lecture in Columbus. AttornryUenrrnl Plerrrpmu. It is a pity that President Grant did not imitate his former command er, President Lincoln, by appointing a now General, each timo the com mander proved himself lacking in success. Had he done so, Mr. Wil liams, lato Attorney-General, would huve been incontinently cashiered immediately after his first decisions wore enunciated. But the unparal- j lelled malignity and partisanship, j displayed in all of Judge Williams’ rulings, have one redeeming feature,: viz.: They suggest to his successor tho rocks and Sehilly isles, where he | wrecked himself, and sunk tho reve nues of tho country. We believe Judge Pierrepont lias wisdom enough to steer cleur of them. Great men aro often the creatures of accident, rather than design; for example, a Galena tanner, if he is sagacious enough to ride witli the tide, can be come President; but, we fear the President, since he has surrendered himself to the Williums-Deluno ex tremists, can never again become as respected as was the so-called honest Galena tanner. . It is the peculiar penalty of Presi dents that their Cabinets bo consid ered as mirrors reflecting the charac ter of tho Executive. If this be true, what a scathing criticism it is upon tho character of Grant! Delano has always been a politician, und what Mr. Stephens defined a “false demagogue.” But he lias steadily fattened upon the spoils of offlco, and the corruption that has spread witli contagious affection throughout his department. Delano’s conduct was a direct re flection upon tho Attorney-General, j and, by keeping Williams in office, j Grant became responsible for all the j cruel wrongs caused by these politi cal harpies. It is well, for ills sake, that in the brief time he will be Pres ident he has finally appointed a good lawyer, who has a personal character j from taint as yet. We agree witli the New York Sun. that, “the first duty to which Judge Pierrepont must ad dress himself is to stop the partisan j plunder by wtiieh an army of mar- j shals, deputies, arid scurvy poli- j ticiuns have fattened on tho Treas-: ury while disturbing tho peace of tho Southern States. More than two and a quarter millions were paid out by Williams for this sort of ser vice during the last fiscal year, end ing 30th June, 1874. The returns from July forward, which covered the infamous Campaign in Alabama, Ar kansas, and Louisiana, have not yet been officially reported, and will swell the aggregate considerably. Wo will say more*? We believe that Judge Pierrepont will do it. He starts official life as tho highest law officer of tho nation, with the confidence ffnd the good will of “the Great South.” May ho deserve it! At the Social Science Congress in Detroit the value of an immigrant was thus stated: What is the economic value of each immigrant to tho land of his adop tion? Mr. Knapp, from carefully con sidered data, places it at $1,125. Dr. j Edward Young, of Washington, thinks this too high, and has fixed it at *BOO. Other statisticians would perhaps reach still different results. But whatever process we may adopt in making our calculations, it is evi dent that the annual increase to the capitalized wealtli of the country, by this influx from beyond the sea, must be reckoned by more than tens of millions. Here is still another view of the subject. Dr. Young says: “It is im possible to make an intelligent esti mate of tho value to the country of those foreign born citizens who have brought their educated minds, their cultivated tastes, their skill in the arts and their inventive genius. In almost every walk of life their influ ence has been felt. Alike in the fear ful ordoul of war and in the pursuits of peace, in our legislative halls and in the various learned professions, the adopted sons of America have at tained eminence.” One objection to California is the drouths. The San Francisco Cati says; “Much of the complaint of drouths heard in this State is caused by a neglect to put in crops so as to have the full benefit of all the rain which falls. Our people, before coming to California, have been used to plant ing in the spring; hence they ate sometimes slow in putting in their crops, and a dry season affects them. The past winter has been unusually dry, yet crops will be tolerably fair except in particular districts. Drouth seldom afreets grapes or other fruits ; indeed, dry seasons give us excellent wine. Some portions of the State, however, will require to be irrigated to insure perfect crops.” We are not troubled in this manner in Georgia. If the United States Senate, when it convenes, does not, on the strength of the disclosures which have been made before tile Alabama Legisla ture, promptly exi>el Spencer, the carpet-bag Senator from that State, it will be a National disgrace.—Cin cinnati Enquirer. We may also add that ho has done Ids country the greatest possible ser vice. Tweed brought the festering sore of municipal corruption and rob bery to a head, and we owe him thanks for it. George E. Spencer is the emetic of carpet-baggery, and we owe him thanks as a wholesome med icine.—AT. Y. Tribune. Gen. Bartlett is the exponent of the thinking men of his section, who ar dently desire a renewal of the kindly feeling and good will which ought to prevail between the North and the South. Woof the South are ready to meet half way in such evidences of cordiality. If we may be permitted, we would like to say that our people think that the North has not the same cause for feelings of bitterness that we have here.— Jteui Orleans Picayune, (Dem.) The Washington Chronicle says: “The Republican party will not die before its time comes.” True, but the time is coming very shortly. [Alexandria Qazette.

APPLETON'S' American Cyclopaedia, j New Revised Edition. | Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type, aud illua- J trated with Several Thousand Eugraviuga and Maps. i The work originally published under the title of The Nkw American Cyclop.kdia was com pleted in ltkiJ, since which time the wide circula tion which it has attained in all parts of the I United States, aud the aignal developments which ; have taken place iu every braut h of science, lit | erature and art, have induced the editors aud ' publishers to submit it to an exact aud thorough ■ revision, aud to issue a now editiou entitled The I AMERICAN CVCLOI'.V.DIA. i Within the last ten years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has | made' anew work of reference an imperative j want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the diacovenes of science, aud their iruitiul application to the industrial and useful arts aud > j the convenience and refinement ol social life. ! Great wars aud consequent revolutions have oc [ curred, involving national changes of peculiar I moment. The .civil war of our own country, | which was at its height when the lust volume ot i the old work appeared, has happily been ended, j aud anew course of commercial aud industrial ! activity has been commenced, j Large accessions to our geographical knowl -1 edge huve been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of tho last de cade, with the natural result ol the lapse ot time, have brought into public view a multitude ol new i men, whose uameH are iu every one’s mouth, aud i of whose liveH every one is curious to kuow the particulars. Great battles have been fought aud important sieges maintained, ol which the de-j tails are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers ! | or iu the transient publications of the day, hut I ; which ought uow to take their place iu perma- j I neutaud authentic history. Iu preparing the present edition f*r the press, i it has accordingly been the aim ot the editors to bing down tnu information to the latest possi- ; ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of t the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, aud of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct aud original record of the progress of political aud historical events. The work has been begun after long and care ful preliminary labor, and with tho most ample I resources for carrying it on to a successiul terrn ! inatlon. I None of the original utereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with j the same plan aud compass as its predecessor, j but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements iu its composition as have been suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake ol pictorial effect, but to give j greater lucidity aud force to tho explanations in j the text. They embrace all branches of sendee : and of uatural history, aud depict the most j famous aud remarkable teat urea of *ceuery, architecture aud art. as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather thau embelishmeut. no pains have been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, aud it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed iu sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Eugravings. aud with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
