UKMOVAL Tho Timkh Office hen been removed from Own by'w Building to the old Enquirer Office, on Ran dolph etroot, third door weft of the Poet Office. Fifteen per cent. i demanded on mortgages In Ohio. The Haytlan revolution has “rose, roigned and foil.” “Lot us have peace”! Thebe is a r<>i>ort tliut Mr. Beecher Intends, noxt September, to go to the Holy land. The General Assembly of Southern Vrcsbyterians convenes in St. Louis on the 20th of May. The income of tho New York Her ald last year was $1,700,000, of which SOOO,OOO wont to J. G. Bennott. No specie has been recovered from tho wreck of the steamship Schiller, and no part of tho cargo is saved. Twf.nty-five hundred tourists left Now York last Saturday for Europe, in spite of the Schiller disaster. Jitdoe Bond has decided that the present incumbents of the Air Line Railroad shall remain in possession. Horace B. Claflin states that Col lector Arthur gave him permission to buy smuggled goods at the New York custom house. There were saved from tho Schiller only one woman, but fifty-six mail bags. The Atlanta Herald, is inclined to bo mail-ieious. The Paris Moniteur applauds tho course of England in raising her voice in favor of peace. England is recovering her just authority and in fluence in Continental affairs. Business is too good in England for Lydia Thompson to leave.—Ex change. It is not that business is so good, but that Lydia is so bad. The New York Herald estimates that this country will bo drained of $28,000,000 this summer by tho 70,000 people whom it claims will go to Eu rope. , m , Mr. BoirciCAULT once said that Shakespeare meant bankruptcy, but Shakespeare never yet bankrupted a manager who did not first bankrupt Shakespeare. Five convicts escaped from Sing Sing on Friday last, and after captur ing a locomotive triumphantly, left amid a volley of musketry. They have not been recaptured. Someone pretends to have gathered 16,000 pounds of musket balls at Tte saca, Ga. It is far more probable that 16,000 persons wore gathered at Besaca by musket balls.--Ed. The Compte deChambord lias writ ten a letter to Mons. Deßol Custel, member of the Assembly for Haute Garonne, in which ho declares he still has hopes that monarchy will bo re-established in France. The priests imprisoned in Posen and tho neighboring towns have been released, and informed that evidonce with regard to the secret administra tion of tire diocese by a papal dele gate is no longer required by the government. The Jewish Temple Emmunuel, on Fifth avenue and Forty-third stroct New York, is tho largest of its kind in the United States. Its congrega tion is the wealthiest in this country both individually and collectively, and its real estate is more valuable than that of any similar corporation. The rapid progress in building and astonishing growth of Atlanta is as cribed to the ro-onactment of the Usury law. Whon capitalists could lond their money at from two to five per cent, per month and collect by law, it did not pay them to put it in buildings and improvements. Gov. Broyden, of North Carolina, in a letter to the New York Herald, deprecates the failure of the Legisla ture of that State to do anything to wards having it represented at the Centennial Exhibition next year, promises to urge it upon the people, and will do all in his power to pro mote tho desired end. Wili, not parties in different parts of the State of Georgia send to I’rof. Little specimens of our various woods ? Let the specimens be about a foot in length, and keep the bark on, as it is Prof. Little’s intention to show the horizontal sections and the character of the exterior ns well. Ho designs sending specimens of our woods to the Centennial Exhibiton at Philadelphia. The Society of the Cincinnati of the State of New York dined together at Delmonico’s the other day. The Hon. Hamilton Fish, President Gen eral of tho-Goncrnl Society, presided. This society is tho only aristocracy founded on intellectual merit in exis tence. Its members arc universally respected. Is there no Southern branch of this society? The Freeman's Journal ridicules Dr. MeCosh’s idea of forming a pan- Presbyterian confederation, and de clares that any effort to unite two Presbyterian bodies results in mak ing three. Disintegration, it adds, is the very genius of Presbyterianism. We believe Dr. McCosh admits that he has found about forty families bearing the Presbyterian name scat tered throughout the world, each dis tinct from its fellows. Says the San Francisco Call: Tho new corner stono of tbo South ern political faith is Government aid to Internal improvements. They will unite to sooure appropriations to improve the waste places of the South, and by this means restore tho business interests of that portion of the cohntry. It is argued, and with some show of pluusibility, that Gov ernment aid has hitherto, in tho last years at least, built up tho waste pla ces of the North. It built tho Pacilic Railroad, and thus concentrated com merce in Northern cities. The South. being on bad terms with the Federal Government, did not get its share. Wo trust there is too much solid sense In tho Southern leuders to at tempt any such policy us is herein outlined. It cannot secure any per manent results. Tho manifestation of such a purpose will consolidate the North into opposition. The old deadly spirit of sectional jealousy will bo revivod. Tho assertion some times mudo that tho South Is incapa ble of national feeling and national action will be justified. Wo like the Call, as our frequent clippings from it will attest. But sometimes the most unprejudiced judges err. Tito Call will pardon tho statement that wc make, viz.: It nei ther seems to understand tho extreme poverty of “tho Bouth,” nor tho mo tives that chaructcrizo those who so constantly advocate the policy allu ded to above. Our people are too poor to rebuild our waste places. Our losses aro reckonod by tho thous and millions from the war and its re sults. The same reasons advanced by Stephen A. Douglas, in uid of the Illinois Central Railroad and kindred measures which resulted in tho great city of Chicago and tho development of that section of country, will hold equally now with regard to aid ex tended by tho general Government to tho South. The revenues of the Government will be increased by it and the load of debt lifted from the people. Georgia has no public lands, and the construction of the Great Western Canal will do for her what tho Illinois Central Railroad did for Illinois. To aid us will redound to the national good and will cement the States of the South to thoso of tho North and West. Prosperous California can not appreciate our condition. All over the South lands worth before the war fifty dollars per acre are now selling at from five to ten dollars per aero, when, in many cases, tho improvements on these lands cost -and would now cost dou ble the amount which a sale of the whole would bring. And yet millions of acres aro for sale at these figures and there are no buyers. AVe know, for example, of a planta tion near this city containing 15(H) acres, and upon whielt is a residence that cost $25,000 besides all other plantation improvements. Tho pro prietor would tako $15,000 for it. We know of another tract of 1000 acres, most of which is rich land, and im provements aro good. This land was recently assessed at three dollars per acre! while near by is an inferior place, owned by a man who is not forced to celt, which can not be bought for less Ihnn sls per acre. This in dicates u deplorablo poverty, but it also proves that our lands are intrin sically as valuable as they ever were. Lot tho general Government do for tho South what it has done for Cali fornia by the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad; what it has done for the great Westby still larger grants; what it has done for the East by the Tariff laws and bounties, and this “great South” will become what nature intended it to be: tho very coffers of tho nation, whose exports from it will pay off the national debt, und whose magnanimity towards tho Soutli will inculcate and perpetuate that national feeling now so nearly paralyzed by injustice. If this claim bo denied then strike from the es cutcheon “E Pluribus Unum.” Merklcnbunt. To-day is the Contennial celebra tion of Mecklenburg. Tho first declaration of tho independence of tho Colonics from Great Brit ain was enunciated thoro “before organized resistance met organized power in Massachusetts.” On the 10th of October, 17GG, delegates from tho different districts of Orange county, which then comprised a large section of the Province of North Carolina, met and passed a resolution, “That wo pay no more taxes until we are satisfied that they are agreeable to law and applied to the purpose therein mentioned, un less we eaunot help it or are forced.” The contest thus began culminated in tho battle of Alamance on August 16th, 1771. When tho news from Concord and Lexington reached Mecklenburg, the patriotic fervor of the people was so great that Moeklenburg was styled the “hornet's nest of the rebellion.” Delegates met at Charlotte’s town the 19th of May, and on the 20th of May, 1775, the famous declaration of inde pendence was read from the Court House by the Herald, Col. Thomas Polk. This declaration was father to the one written by Thomas Jeffer son the following year, and embodied tfife resolution “no taxation without representation.” It is more than suspected that we are cramming the heads of tho chil dren of this country at the expense of thoir physical stamina, and im proper school house hours.— Atlanta Herald. Yes, and it ought to be well known that tho prevalent plan of cold din ners, consisting of “biscuit and ham,” for tender, young children, and the policy of “keeping them in” when they fail to recite correctly, until the darkness prevents their studying—or pretense of study-is a signal wrong. Next to this criminal custom we place the “frying pan” as twin hygienic evils. —Albany News: The past week has been remarkably propitious for the planting interest in this section, and tho crops have improved wonderfully. The light showers that have fallen here and there have kept the warm atmosphere it little damp, and the young cotton and corn have literally fattened and become healthy and vigorous. LETTER lUIUt TVSKEttEE. CONSTITUTIONAL CON VENTIOX—COURTS - CROPS —DIVORCES—DEBTS, *C. Tiibkeoke, Ala., May 18, 1875. Editors Times: It will go hard, if tho Alubamian who reads this paper, does not find in it something that does not concern him. Politics are beginning to fire up, under the call for a State Convention to “alterato the Constitution. ” The faultinoss of fundamental luws in the States, ns well as In the General Gov ernment, is a matter to be noted; the consideration of which may, in the mind of the political scientist, raise gravo doubts as to the infallibility theory. So far, the Restoration busi ness has beon under the direeiion of empirics. Hereafter, lot us hojie that the L.L. D.’s may bring about a change. There ore any number of courts in this latitude. The “Oyez!” “Oyez!” of the crier is heard throughout the land, and Judges, Chancellors, Pro bute Judges, N. I’.’s and J. P.’s—to say nothing of United States Com missioners, whose authority seems unlimited, appellate and exclusive are kept busy expounding the laws. Crops are looking thrifty, though somewhat backward. Tho demand for supplies is not so largo as hereto fore; so say the merchants; yet the recording officers are still busy with liens and mortgages. Under tho com bined influence of the Grangers, and necessity, larger grain crops are planted ; and, under favorable sea sons, a better prospect lies ahead. Whether the shortness of the crops and the scarcity of supplies are con stituent causes, or whether it is sim ply the old doctrine of innate depra vity, it is hard to say; but divorce eases are becoming frequent. Tito “man and brother,” and likewise the “sister,” are now as anxious to loose the bands of wedlock as they were aforetime to take out licenses and “marry like white folks.” In some eases they bring up and make a ten der of their “papers” to the Probate Judge, with anxious appeals to “take ’em back.” A day or two since a case for assault by a wife against her hus band in the County Court, developed tho fact that recently site was press ing him for “a fifteen dollars to buy a divorce,” with a promise to forego any criminal proceeding, if he would respond. But her ease of black mail (no charge tor the pun ) wouldn’t work; him: litre tachrymre. It was a sad ease; and what complicates mat ters still more, the lawyers, under their Fee Bill, we learn, will not take less than fifty dollars in such cases. Quere: Is this in contravention of the Civil Rights bill? Is it not putting such luxuries out of the reach of the indigent poor ? People here, like their friends throughout the South, are in debt; but this much can be said in their beitalf: there is not a man among them but is willing to pay what he owes- if somebody will lend him the money to do it with. Your paper is growing in favor here, and with a little effort many subscribers might be obtained. At least, that is the opinion of Yours, Gratis. The letter published below is from one of the most influential and high ly esteemed citizens of Bartow coun ty. As our only motive in writing about tile minerals of Georgia, and our Geological Bureau, istodraw the attention of people at tho North, as well as at home, to our true resources, we esteem all communications which correct our errors as real fa vors. Our object is to “tell the truth, tho whole truth, and nothing but the j truth:” Carteksville, May 17, 1875, Editor Daily limes: I am indebted to your kindness for tho Daily Times of the 12th and 13th iifst., containing editorials of general interest, und of special interest to the people of Bartow county. These ed itorials are suggested by the work of our accomplished State Geologist, Dr. Geo. Little, to whom tho people of the whole State and of tho South generally, will be under greut and lasting obligation, if he shall be per mitted to continue his work to com pletion. His appointment wue a hap py selection, and I trust he will be liberally sustained, not only from the Treasury of the State, hut by the best efforts and kindest attention of our people, among whom and for whom he labors. Permit me to add that Dr. Little is aided by excellent assistants. Before a great while, I will procure an article to be written for your pa per, on the resources, mineral and agricultural, of Bartow county. My main purpose in sending this note is to correct one or two inaccu racies ns to the ancient history of the county. I shall not pretend to abso lute accuracy, but will get nearer than you have been able to do. You spoke of the Thomas Furnace tuow owned by Col. J. It. Brown and Capt. J. D. Thomas) as "the first Furnace built in this section” and add, “wo suppose in the State.” The mis-information as to the first Fur naco built in this section, was fur nished to our Geological Depart ment, from which you have copied it, by the enterprise of some of our people. Your addition thereto, shows that in the language of one of your Pettits Creek neighbors, you did not “coine here first,” To satisfy myself, and to “vindicate the truth of history,” allow me to furnish you with the following infor mation, which I think will be found substantially correct. If incorrect, we will appeal to our “oldest inhabitants,” now rapidly passing away. The first iron making enterprise in this county and in Cherokee,Georgia, was not by Moses Stroup, but by his father, Jacob Stroup. It consisted of a Forge, and wits put in operation in 1837 or early in 1838. It was located on Stamp Creek, near the old Fur- | nace, built by the same man in 1838 or 1839. Tito stack still stands, and | will soon bo ugain In operation—the same stuck that was built by Jacob Stroup. Tho second Furnace was also built by Jacob Stroup on Alln toona Creek, the precise dute, I have not been üble to leurn, but it was probably in 1842. Jacob Stroup hav ing sold ids property on Stamp Creek to his son Moses Stroup. Moses Stroup operated the old Furnace for a few years, and Major Cooper became interested in it; and from tho time of Major Cooper's con nection with that property, begins an era in the iron manufacture and en terprise in Cherokee, Georgia. Dr. Lewis is unquestionably entitled to great credit for tho energy, intelli gence. and success,with which he em barked in the manufacture of iron in ; this county, but in tho language of | Bob. Guryton, he did not “come | here first.” Ho built two Furnaces] on Stamp Creek, one in 184‘J and one ; in 1800, and operated both of them I with great success. He carried into j his business not only energy and in tellect, but hail capital, and the want of this last element lias heretofore ; tramped all of Iron industry. I; would not tie understood to say it was the only element wanting, but it is indispensable to complete success. When I sat down, I intended to al lude to some other statements in your articles, but cannot now. I know you will appreciate t lie spirit of this letter, and I therefore write freely. We have no news; crop prospects good. Very truly yours, J. The Chicago “Times" makes a neat reply to the argument of the lately converted Pennsylvania Kelley, that all the South needs to make it pros perous is plenty of paper money. It says: More currency is what the pros trate Soutli wants to set it on its feet again, savs Mr. Bond-greenback Kel ley. Well, time was when the Soutli Imd plenty of currency oceans of it, in fact. During the last year or two of the war the South had all the cur rency that the heart of Kelley could desire. And yet the Soutli was not prosperous. It was considerably less prosperous than it has been since. A strange phenomenon indeed. How can Mr. Kelley account for it? On the score that the Southern ports were blockaded so that Southern products could not conveniently be marketed abroad? No, not according to the Kelley philosophy, because the blockade' was only an efficient sort of protection. It was ten times as effective as any tariff in protecting the infant industries of tiie South against foreign pauper labor. It ought, therefore, according to the Kelley philosophy, to have conspir ed with the abundance of “cheap money” to make the Soutli prosper ous in the extreme. And yet the South was not prosperous. It is a great mystery. Who but Kelley can account for it? -———♦ • The London Times says: “There; could hardly be a more critical situa- ] tion than existed in Berlin upon the arrival of the Emperor of Russia. Tho Uermau Government may be able to declare that a hostile move ment w as never officially entertained, but a few' days since theroavas serious danger that warlike counsel would prevail. We may suppose Prince (iortseliakoff courteously expressed the determination to treat as an ene my the first State disturbing peace. In spite of England’s uttitude of re serve, we believe the Government thought it a national duty in tho re cent crisis to express its opinion very decisively in regard to the mainten ance of peace. The communication was amicably received and a most satisfactory reply returned. France has expressed acknowledgment of England’s friendly attitude.” The Daily News reports that the Czar has mentioned his desire to con fer with Mr. Thiers unofficially in relation to European affairs. Frauds in Silk Imports.— Few smuggling operations have required so many persons to carry it on as that which is known as tho Silk Con spiracy. The frauds on the revenue amounted to $1,000,000, and the plot embraced many merchants and spec ulators abroad, and several United States officials. The business seems to have been conducted in this coun try through a more obscure class of persons, who were perhaps rather agents than principals in the frauds. These will be the chief sufferers, since they are in the hands of the law. .V. I’. Tribune.

Jordan, Esq.—Dear Sir: So well pleased am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes tify to the superior merit of your nuequaied preiaration for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my self happy should even one of that worst of all classes of sufferers be led through me to take the Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural gic torture, without being able to hud any relief except from your preparation, hhe was relieved by the second dose os per directions, and has not had a return of it for two months. To some I may seem strangely sanguine about your medi cine, but I have a right to be so. It is not rea sonable to suppose this malignant malady would have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity for sustaining itself,' and that too in a minute, and the very minute your medicine was taken. If so, it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, anil l prefer giving the credit in your favor of the beat testimony man can ever have—experience. Vary truly yours, JAMES T. TOSH. Columbus, January 16,1875. Mr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure in recom mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia, has produced a most wonderful relief in one o\ the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter ever has had. She has been treated for it by three skillful physicians, with very little benefit, and used all the usual remedies with little suc cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per manent cure. It is only two days since we began | the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent benefit. Yours, with respect, MRS. L. I. NORMAN. JOIIX L JOICUAV, Apothecary. No. 198 Broad Street, Columbus, Ga.
