THE DAILY TIMES, Oolurabua. SUNDAY NOVEMBER S3. 1875. LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION In Mir nd *tntMrh. pham i* romnii!, f >. - I A 11. wiluamh. I Treasurer Jonen. We lourn from the Atlanta Consti tution that, the Governor has declared the oflfloe of State Treasurer vacant, by reason of the failure of Treasurer Jooos to strengthen his bond as re quired by the Governor, . The hundreds of friends of Treas urer Jones kr • v him to be honest in every way, and his failure to comply with the requirements of the Gov ernor must be accounted for on one of two grounds. First, wo have infor mation that his cash account iH cor rect to the cent, and that the only trouble is in regard to Clows' bonds. This being the case ho has declined to make anew bond, that lie may turn over his cash correct and stand a trial before the Legislature in rela tion to the bonds. Second, if ho had desired to make the bond we have information that there were plenty of responsible men to go his security, notwithstanding the effort on the part of men in high position to ttirow a cloud around his Case, in order that they might get control of the money in the treasury- The public owe it to u faithful servant, to form no opinions against, until the legislature moots aud fully investigates tho charges against him. Wo have an abiding faith in his sterling honesty and in tegrity. ..... . - Tick Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald thinks the third term inevitable. He writes: “If Grant is renominated it will bo done, not because he wants to be renomi nated, but because tho majority of the party ratirmgers will come to tho conclusion that their chances of electing him are better than of elect ing any other eandidutethey can hike up. He will tie nominated. If at all, by men who will mean to elect him, and who will have faith in their abil ity to do it. I statca plain fact when 1 say that this belief isn growingsen timentiuthe minds of very shrewd men in the party, It is n subject of careful reflection in the minds of Re publicans who make "Show of scout ing it as impossible. The question that, must bo answered is, ‘lf not. Grant, whom will wo nominate?’ and it. is the -answer to that question which cannot be reached. Tho nom ination of Grant bungs over tho party like the erock of doom. Republicans may ridicule or flout it; it is, to-day, the entirely possible thlhg. Two months honee it may boa certainty.” A WasHINOTOn special to tho Cin cinnati! Commercial says not, long ago Chief Justice Waite, in a conver sation with one of tho leading mem bers of the faction that were striving to put him lip ns a Presidential can didate, stated 1 Imt under no circum stances would he permit his name to he used in that connection. Ho said that in tho lino of ids profession he had reached the highest place that lie could ever hope for, and that his ambition was fully satisfied. He was grateful to his friends, but their can didate he could not be. Tin; Han Francisco Chronicle con cedes t hat in spite of tho steady and persistent tight against Chlneso im migration in California tho celestials have conquered, invading every field of industry, crowding out the whites, and rapidly dominating nil labor in terests, while every dollar of their earnings is sent back to China. Laws have availed not hing, it seems, to re strain this tidal wave, and there seems nothing left for Californians to do but to be content to play second Addle to the Intruders. Tan Gwinnett Herald says: “Wo are not opposed to the use of fertili zers, but the point, wo desire to make, mid impress upon the planters of Gwinnett is, that the purchase upon a credit of largo quantities is too muoh risk. Good fertilizers can be made At home from now until plant ing time next spring, at one-third the cost of commercial fertilizers; and if the manufactures determine to soli for cash only, in less than three years there will not bo one-tenth as much sold in Georgia as t here was this year.” --♦ ♦ • The Newman Herald endorses ex- Bonator Wofford’s views as to the bi euuiul sessions of tho Legislature. It claims, in fact, to have first, sprung the agitation for such a change in the organic law, on the people. ■ • ♦ •* Joyce is being lauded for his “pa triotism" in standing up and receiv ing a three and a half years’ impris onment in stole silence when he said he could reveal things that would make the White House creek. TheN. Y. Herald says Senator Gor don, of Georgia, has purchased the late residence of Mr. Waiters. Cox, in Georgetown, and that the Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, will be his guest, during the winter. And now they propose to foist Matt. Carpenter into the Federal Senate again. It. is to be done in this wise: It is proposed that Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, resign and ac cept the Supreme Judgeship, and then the former be appointed to till the vacancy. At the billiard tournament in New York, at which are gathered tlie finest players in thiS country, it not in the world, some exceedingly bril liant play has been made. Cyrille Dion, in one game made an average of thirty, the largest ever made in a French carom game, while Sexton's run of 186 is also unprecedented. Maurice Daley’s 134, and George Slosson’s 104, show the character of the plays. Arkansas has been very liberal in its appropriations for the Cenntenni al. Sixteen thousand dollars is no mean sum to be presented as a gift to the Centennial commission by a State as heavily in debt as is Arkan sas, Debts and Taxes Mere amt Abroad. I The Lynchburg Nows says: There is considerable discussion in F,ngllsli and American journals of tho relative debt and taxation of the two coun tries, since W. M. Grosvonor’s article on tho subject In the New York Tribune. Tho Sprlrgilold Republican thinks Mr. Grosvenor rather overdid the thing in making tho comparison so unfavorable to this country, and the Scotsman, Economist and other F.ng lish journals have drawn tho most lugubrious conclusions. Last May, the Republican reviewed the subject with some care and certainly with tho benefit of later data than Mr. Grosvenor used in his recent article. He places the local indebtedness of Grout Britain at £71,000,000, whereas the Republican placed it then at £84,- 000,000, a figure which tho Fall Mall Gazette confirms in correcting the American writer, Tho latter placed the American municipal debt at $700,000,000, The State debts were $328,000,000 at tho time of tho census. In tho mean time the debts of a few Atlantic States have increased; those of the Southern States had their period of increase for the most part, before the census, aud by the repudiation of fraudulent claims and the “scaling down” of others have probably reduced the net total to bo paid; the Western States have paid their debts, so that on tho whole wo probably overesti mate in setting the indebtedness of al 1 the States at $375,000,000. Tho to tal indebtedness of tho country is probably not understated at st,ioo,- 000,000 for non-national and $2,2000,- 000,000 for national, a total of $3,3000,- I 000,000. The national debt of Great Britain is £773,000,000, and tho local | £84,000,000, or about $4,300,000,0*0. | Considering that our population is to i theirs as 45 to 35 millions, and that space necessitates a great increase in tho first cost of the machinery of civ ilization per capita, tho comparison is not discouraging. In stating our own rmtionnt debt at $2,200,000,000, we have made no account of cash in tho Treasury, not knowing whether the British national debt was so sta ted. Our net national debt is $2,100,- 000,000, our founded $1,700,000,000. Wo will not inquire now ns to tho respective rates of taxation, for the data are very scanty for an accu rate comparison. Tho New York BuHettin claims from information which wo have no means of verifying that tho per capita taxation is $17.50 in England and $14.26 in this country. There are certainly large portions ot this country in which taxation bears harder than it does in Great Britain. Wo have provided and to some ex tent we are compelled to provide public works and improvements in advance of population and wealth and unfortunately tho recent abnor mal prosperity bus led us farther in that direction than prudencedictates. But. what is dono honestly, will not Lave to bo done over. We have am ple opportunity, however, to learn that what is done dishonestly is also done poorly and is a shain. Worth Nothin;?- The Detroit Press, in commenting on the whiskey ring has this to say : It is a noteworthy faet in connection with the whiskey ring developments that every scoundrel unearthed thus far has been a loyal administrationist. Everywhere that disclosures have been made in St. Louis, Milwaukee and Evansville, the story is the same; close communion is tho rule of the ring, and none but Republicans of tho blue blood have been admitted. The significance of this fact, is not merely in its indication that the Re publicans uro by a certain acquired habit of party, raoro ready than their political opponents to engage in dis honest enterprises, and especially in defrauding the Government, but it is in its throwing upon the administra tion the strongest suspicion of com plicity in the ring frauds. Were the organization banded together only by a common desire to acquire wealth unlawfully, it could scarcely happen but, by iuadvertanoe some where, some lukewarm friend, or even opponent, of Grant should have succeeded in obtalnining member ship. As no such person has ob tained membership tho inference is obvious that thero has been a process of selection employed whereby all but adminlstrationiste have been ex eluded from participation in the un lawful profits of the ring. - The Now York Herald advises Gen. Grant to make a poremptoary decli nation of a third term in his annual raessago to Congress. A single para graph will do tho work, and it might bo in these words : "The period for anew election of a citizen to administer the Executive Government of tho United States, being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must bo employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appeal's to me proper, especially as it may con duce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of tho resolution I have formed to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom the choice is to be made.” In these few words President Washington declined a third term. The example of Washington isnot unworthy the imitation even of the present incumbent of the Executive ofilce. But then Grant, if ho knows himself, and he no doubt “thinks lie do,” is not going to imitate Wash ington or follow the suggestion of the Herald. The farmers of Georgia spent last season $1,000,780, for horses from; other States—an average of SIOO per head—which they could have raised in Georgia at an average cost of S6O i per head. Is it any wonder we are poor? Notwithstanding this enormousj outlay in horses and mules, and the I fact that it costs only S6O to raise j them to three years old, only 6,033 are reported annually foaled in tile State. —Sparta Times and Planter. | VFhm Itnr* It CM to Nalte a Pound of Cotton? Waveuly Hall, Ga.. Nov. 23,1876. Editors of Times:— Clurko, Grier, | Hardaway and Dixon have put in | their estimates. Here is one to suit every man’s land, and by which each man can tell how much it will cost Aim—-an important question, as one affecting lireud and meat. I take an acre yielding4oo lbs. seed cotton or 120 lbs. lint; Break up 1.50, bed up 1.50, $3.00 Seed 45c., planting 65c., l.io Plow 2 furrows, Ist and 2d time, 37Je. each, .75 Plow 3d time, 4 furrows, .75 Hoe, Ist and 2d time, $1 each, 2.00 Hoe 3d time, .76 Pick 400 lbs., 500. per ewt., and board, 2.40 ! Wear of land. 1.00 Fence ratio, fifty panels, lc. per panel, .50 ] 25 per cent, on capital in mule, $l5O 1-30, 1.23 I Hoe and storage, .25 Tax on land and mule, .10 Hauling to market, .75 $14.56 If 400 lbs. seed or 120 lbs. lint cotton cost $14.56, what will 1 lb. cost ? An swer, 12 16-120 C. If 600 lbs. seed or 180 lbs lint, add to the above 1.20 for picking addi tional 200 lbs. and 7c. additional stor age, and you have $15.83. Then, if 600 lbs. seed or 180 lbs. lint cost $15.83, what will 1 lb. cost? Answer, 8 143-180 C. If 800 lbs. seed or 240 lbs. lint, add to tho last acre-cost $1.20 for picking 200 additional lbs. and 7c. storage, and you have $17.10. Then, if 800 lbs. seed or 240 lbs. lint cost $17.10, what will 1 lb. cost? Answer, 7Jlc. If 1000 lbs. seed or 300 lbs. lint, add to last acre-cost $1.20 and 7c. for ad ditional 200 lbs. picking and storage, and you have $18.37. Then, if 1000 lbs. seed or 300 lbs. lint cost $18.37, what will 1 lb, cost? Answer, 6 37- 300 c. And so on. As so many men will cultivate land that will make but 200 lbs. per acre, we will see what it costs to make it.: Deduct from the first acre aforesaid $1.20 for less picking 200 lbs. ami 7c. storage, and you have $13.29. Then, if 200 lbs. seed or 60 lbs. lint cotton cost $13.29, what will 1 lb. cost ? An- j swer, 22 U-ooc. For every bale so made of 500 lbs. ■ thero is an actual loss of more than SSO, at present prices. The renter that makes 4 bales and pays 2 for rent, loses more than S2OO, independent of his rent. My brother farmer, are these figures correct, or have I gone crazy ? Let us see how guano affects it, I bavo seen some captivating figuring in this line, l:mt you see 1 urn an old fogey in figures and don’t know any thing but the old “rule of three,” much: Whatever guano in the books and certificates may have done, or would have done, bad there been no calam ity, all well observing farmers know that, on an average, there is about a 200 lb. increase per acre. Then, add to tho first, acre aforesaid $6.75 or 1-10 of a ton on time, and $1.20 for pick ing additional 200 lbs. and 7e. addi tional storage, and you have $22.61. Then, if coo lbs. seed or 180 lbs. lint, cost $22.51, what will 1 lb. cost? An swer, 12 91 180 c. Without, repentance, that last, and tho 100 iukl the 200 per acre, will land us in “Jack’s house” or somebody else’s. Let us see if thero is anything in corn: Bed up and out an acre, $1.50 Seed 13c., planting 10e., open and cover 30e.. .53 Bar off 30n., hoe 35c., .66 Fill back 1 furrow each side, .30 3d and 4th additional plowings as per last, 30c. each, .GO Sweep finish, 3 or 4 furrows, .45 25 per cent, on value of mule, SIOO 1-30, .83 Tax on land and mule, .04 Wear of land 500., ratio fence 50 lbs. 60c., 1.00 Gathering 60c., pull fodder 75e., 1.25 $7.15 If tho acre yields 10 bushels corn, at $1 per bushel, SIO.OO Fodder 150 lbs. at $1,25 per ewt. 1.87 11.87 Deduct cost, 7.15 Profit per acre. $4.72 50 neves in corn, at 10 bushels per acre, net profit, $235.00 50 acres in cotton, 100 lbs., or 12 bales, 000.00 Profits of corn over cotton, $235.00 Guanoed cotton, 600 lbs. per acre, on 50 acres, or 18 bales, or $5 loss on each bale, or total loss of S9O on 50 acres. Add this S9O to tho $235, on tho score of “saving is making,” and you have made and saved by the corn $325. Thomas, will you make corn next year ? “Show pity. Lord! oh. Lord, forgive! Lot a repenting reliel live!” Granger. ♦* A Woman Evangelist. -Mrs. Low rio, a converted actress, is conducting a series of religious meetings in the M. E. church at Port Jervis, New York. The meetings are attended by thousands of people, and over five hundred converts have been made. The number includes nmnv wealthy and prominent residents. Mrs. Low tie is an eloquent speaker, and an excellent vocalist. She wields a powerful influence over the large con gregations that assemble to hear her, and iter voice is frequently drowned by their shouts. Two avowed infi dels—one a contributor to the Boston Investigator- are among her eon verts. A leading atheist asked for prayers on Saturday night, amid a scene of wild excitement. The | church will not hold all that apply for | admittance. People come twenty I miles to hear her, and so many I train hands from the Erie railway at-1 tend the service that new men have | been employed to lilt their places. If there is anything in the world j more dangerous than a buz-saw it must be nitric acid. A German j essayist,.in speaking upon this sub ject, says that when "Benzovlnaph- I tylamide is treated with nitric acid, two isomeric mononltrobenzoylnaph tylainides are formed—one yielding mononamidobezonaphtylamiae, the other nnkydrobenzodiamidonaphta tene!” Of course our renders will ap preciate this information.
