The Toocoa Herald speaks of the Atlanta Cotton Factory ns “the grandest enterprise ever inaugurated in our State.” Wlmt would that editor think if he wore to see in Co lumbus three cotton factories, each more extensive than that of Atlanta, standing side by side, and nil owned by one Georgia company? A dispatch reports “the represen tative of the Spanish Government” at Hew York fwhat is his official po sition?) says that Spain will not de liver up Tweed ; that he was not arres ted on any complaint from this coun try, hut because he was traveling un der an assumed name in violation of Spanish law; thatit would be useless to ask for his extradition in the ah sence of a treaty of that kind. The Charleston Neu's, alluding to the fact that in Charleston only one of the negro rioters out of hundreds i were arrested, and to the later: troubles in its State, says: “South Carolina is returning fast to that primitive condition in which each group of citizens organize for their own protection. Anil protect them selves they will. Only by uprooting the Radical party con the State have peace!” A mash convention of Union sol diers and sailors, who desire a reform . In the Government, Is called to meet at Albany, N. Y., on the 19th of Oc tober. The call is signed by Mnjor Gen. Hooker and several other Union officers, and it declares: “The en rollment already made at these headquarters shows conclusively that a majority of Udlou soldiers and sailors are not in favor of the per petuation ofGrantism in the election of Hayes and Wheeler, as stated by Gen. Dix and other Republican lead ers, but in favor of reform and the election of Samuel J. Tilden for the Presidency.” Tennessee. The canvass in Ten nessee is quite antimated, and is a three-sided affair. The Gubernato rial election will hardly be a strict drawing of party lines, but we can not doubt the re-election of Gov. Por ter, Democratic nominee, by a hand some majority. He is opixwed by Dorsey B. Thomas, independent,who will get some Democratic votes, but we hope not more than the negro Radical vote which Yardley, the In dependent colored candidate, will draw off from Thomas, The Mem phis Avalanche, which favors Thom as, says that he will get a majority in nearly every county of West Ten nessee, but we suppose that this is in great part “whistling to keep up courage.” If the negroes generally vote for Yardley, Thomas cannot possibly get ns many Demoomtic votes as he will lose of the Republi cans, though the white Radicals sup port him. We clip the following from Thurs day’s dispatches of the American Press Association. It corresponds with other accounts from Indiana. The proposition that every office holder from Indiana at Washington should be sent home, not only to vote, but “in time to work” (and what with ?) is rather audacious, in view of the fact that the Radicals in Congress so lately opposed the re duction of the number of officials at Washington on the ground that the necessities of the “public service” would not allow any diminution of their force: A prominent Indiana Republican, lately holding a high Government position, writes to a friend in this city that Indiana is in great danger of being captured by the Democrats at the comiDg October election. He says he has not yet given no all hopes, but nothing but the hardest kind of work on the j>art of the Republicans can prevent the State firom going Democratic, and even then the case is doubtful. He earnestly advocates the sending from all the Government Departments in this city every Indi ana Republican voter, not only to vote, but to come in time to work in and around his voting precinct, for his party. —Albany New* : Oil Monday night last. Col. R. I). Mender, Assistant Superintend ent of the Brunswick A Albany Railroad, and Mr. W. H. Simmons, Express Messen ger, arrived in Albany, from Brunswick, both feeling quite unwell. On Tuesday they were visited by physicians, who, after making a thorough examination of the eases, pronounced it a very mild type of yellow fever. At this writing, however, some of the physicians pronounce it bil ious or intermittent fever. The patients are getting on extremely welt, and the probability is that both will be weli in a day or two. —The North Georgia Methodist Confer ence will meet in Sparta during the latter pari of November. (MttNT’N BAM AMNMfATKM. It has been the unlucky fortune or the perverse intention of I’reaMent Grant to take into bis coßfldenec and favor the Very worst men of thb Rad ical party of the South, always re pelling and proscribing those South ern Republicans who tried to make their party respectable or honest. In Louisiana betook up Kellogg, boost ing him up by Federal bayonets and thus forcing him on a i>eople, a ma jority of whom had voted against him, and In opposition to the wishes of the best Republicans in the State. In Mississippi he stood by Ames to the last, though nearly every decent Republican in the State had deserted him before ills Right. In Alabama, Spenoer, denounced and disowned by all the best of the Republicans, is still in high fuvor witli Gen. Grant, who gives him full control of the Federal patronage of the State. Only once has the President man ifested a disposition to sustain un honest, conservative portion of the Radical party of the South, and that was two years ago, when he ap peared to favor the election of Cham berlain in South Carolina. But Chamberlain lias since turned out as bad as Grant could wish him, and we are thus left in doubt whether the President’s good will for him in 1874 was due to his sagacity, or to a real desire to improve the political con dition of South Carolina. Certainly Chamberlain’s opponent could not have done less in the way of reform, uud could not liuve been more imbe cile or perverse, than Chamberlain is. In Georgia, it appears, J. E. Bry ant is uow the controller of Federal patronage, and of course stands highest in Grant’s esteem. It is stated that lie was the man whose lnliueuco settled the difficulty about the appointment of Fannin as Inter nal Roveuue Collector, and McLaws as Postmaster at Savannah. And what is the stauding of Bryant among the butter portion of his own party iu Georgia ? It is disclosed in a letter just published by Ex-Gov. Conley, in which he charges Bryant witii having sold his vote, while a member of the Legislature, to the friends of the Brunswick & Albany Railroad. Conley says that Bryant, dare not deny the charge, and that if he does, the proofs will be produced in the shape of the notes and drafts given in consideration of his votes, with Bryant’s letters aekowledgiug their receipt. Bryant is the Chair man of the Republican Executive Committee of Georgia, and Conley is as zealous a Republican us there is in the State, but has always had the reputation of a honest one. TheselSouthern associates and fa vorites of Gen. Grant,in connection with those of Babcock, Belknap, Shepherd and others of the North, suffice to show by what bad influ ences his administration lias been controlled, and the necessity of get ting rid of all such “powers behind the throne.” But will tire election of Hayes to the Presidency free the country of this abomination? That is a momentous question for the peo ple to consider. ATI.ANTA The Constitution of the 21st publish es its review of the trade of Atlanta for the year which closed on the 31st of August; also statistics of the trade, population, &c., of most of the towns of Northern and Middle Geor gia. This is contained in an en larged sheet, well gotten up. The total valqp of the trade and in dustry of Atlanta is put down at $31,- 437,322, of which amount its dry goods trade constituted $8,125,000, and its grocery trade $7,717,500. During the year 60,150 bales of cot ton were received, valued at #3,076,- 672. The Comtitulkm says in its sum mary : “In the ligitt. of these fuets, Atlanta lias cause to feel satisfied. Her trade has suffered a decrease during the season of $3,876,720 05 out of an aggregate of nearly $35,000,000 annually, showing a per cent, which bespeaks the wonderful stability of this favored inland metropolis. Our mercantile men are live, energetic, prudent and progressive, and are rapidly extending the area of their custom until large portions of adja cent States Rnd here their best mar ket. Sevoral disasters have, within the year, overtaken firms in our city, aggregating losses up to at least $3,- 000,000 of the decrease above stated. The balance of less than a million dollars, therefore, represents the ex tent of genuine shrinkage in our trade for the year. The disasters referred to were such as might hot have been avoided. Hence, so far as our commercial in terests are concerned, they will con tinue to astonish and excite the ad miration of this section of the Union. In the matter of fixed wealth the record of the year allows actual prog ress. Taxable property has largely increased, although the ratable val ues have been largely reduced in obedience to hard times. Necessary aud prompt paying enterprises have had full encouragement, and Atlauta will shine out in the tables of the na tion's commerce as among the best examples of what pluck, vim, go ahead ativenessaud a confident com munity can do to stem the adverse currents, reverse the ordinary pre dictions of political economists and exhibit to the world the achievements of those who have lived up to their motto “‘never say fail!” —The Augusta Chrrtnicle learns that a man named McWhorter got off the tip pas senger train of the Port Royal Railroad at Jackson station yesterday, and walked toward another party named Meyer, who was standing near by. The latter. It is said, is McWhorter's brother-in-law. Moy er called to McWhorter to defend himself and immediately Bred upon him with a double-barrel shot gun. killing him in stantly. It is said the killing grew out of a family quarrel. CKOHCIA TOWNS.

From the Atlanta Constitution.) Whether from ignorance of the Tacts or from that crookedness whioh springs from extreme partisanship or from a mixture of both, or from other causes, Mr. Norcross missed the truth in almost every part of his late speech at Macon. We propose to expose some of his misstatements without waste of words. Facts and figures of record cannot be successfully put aside, and to these we appeal. We would not answer the wild figures that Mr. Norcross produced, were they not calculated, unless contra dicted, to injure abroad the credit and fair fame of the State. There is scarcely one of our own citizens who does not know that his statements are erroneous, but not so in other States. To refute his statements, one by one, would be an unnecessary waste of space. Let us, therefore, give the facts concerning ihe creation of our State indebtedness, iu the shortest possible manner. When the Republicans came into nowerin 1868 the State debt was $5,000- 490, Gov. Bullock in the three following years added, so far as he and his associates could add, $5,784,- (XX) in straight bonds, and 7,283,(XX) in endorsed railroad bonds—making al together in three years of Republican rule, $13,067,000. A good share of this enormous sum was illegally issued, but we do not see as that fact is any credit to the Bullock crowd that Mr. Norcross has the cheek to defend be fore people whom they tried to plun der. That tßere may be no mistake about this matter we give in detail a list of the bonds issuedby Bullock: Min-ttfNlo-JX- *(114,000 Gold quarter Hos 2,2000,000 Gold Bomi-auuuftl bonds 1,8000,000 Mortgage 7s 970,0000 Kadorsed B. & A.

R. bonds 104, 000 Total In three years $13,087,000 Now let us see what the record in the bond line of Governor Smith’s five years is: Bonds to pay due aud maturing debt...# 370.500 ** *• t* 4 M ... 1 206 000 Interest on M. A B. bonds 542.000 Enuarsed N. A 8. It. R. bonds 240.000 •* Memphis Branch bonds 34,000 “ Total in ttvo years $1,328,500 In other words, three years of Re publican rule loaded the State down with $13,067,000 of funded debt some valid aud some not—none of which probably went to pay oft past due or maturing debt; while live years of Democratic rule have added only $274,000 in new debt, and the liability for oven that sum was crea ated by a Bullock Legislature. Bullock left the credit of the State so low, so near bankruptcy in fact, that bonds bearing seven percent in terest could scarcely be sold at. all. A loan of that nature had to be with drawn, and an issue of non-taxable eights placed on the market. This year Treasurer Renfroe had no diffi culty placing $542,000 of taxable sevens at a handsome premium. Ho received bids for double the amount that he needed, and is receiving let ters daily from parties who wish to buy portions of the new sevens. These bonds are worth between 104 and 105 to-day. These are the bonds that Mr. Norcross says were issued to meet “the current expenses of the government.” They were issued to pay past due interest on a lot of en dorsed Macon & Brunswick bonds that were chiefly put out bv Bullock. The chronic inaccuracy of Mr. Nor cross’ figures is also shown in the statement that Treasurer Jones’ ac counts show a deficit of $880,332. Mr. Norcross should be ashamed of this statement. He enu easily ascertain that the total deficit named in the Auditor’s report is about $290,000. This amount is reduced by “doubt ful” vouchers to a cash loss of about $76,000. The whole matter is in the courts and will be thoroughly sifted. In no event can the loss of the State exceed the figures we have given. Mr. Norcrcss could and should put himself in possession of an occasional fact. One other matter, and wo will let Mr. Norcross’crazy figures and state ments slide. He accuses Democratic Legislatures of extravagance. Let us see how the accounts of legislative expenses stand: Republican Democratic. 1868 $159,261 1871 $101,239 1370 526,89111873 97.520 1874 104.744 1*75 112,467 1376 111,200 $972,945 $699,424 The three most expensive Demo cratic Legislatures only cost the State $327,412, and the three years of Radical legislation cost $972,946. And what a fine lot of laws they gave us at that price. - The authorities of Brunswick are ap pealing for aid from other places, there be ing many destitute people there, and the care of the sick requiring much unusual expense.

Farmers should take warning by tills, and endeavor to prevent their cattle from feeding upon the young cane. _ _ _ The Shadow of an Ass.—The Greeks had a proverb which ran thus: “To dispute on the shadow of an ass.” It took rise from an anecdote which Demosthenes is said to have related to the Athenians, to excite their attention during his defence of a criminal, whioh was being but in attentively listened to. “A traveler,” he said, "once went from Athens to Megara on a hired ass. It happened to be the time of the dog days, and at noon. He was much exposed to the unmitigated heat of the sun; and not finding so much as a bush under which to take shelter, ho bethought himself to descend from the ass and seat hirnsett under its shadow. The owner of the ass objected to this, de claring to him that when he let the animal, the use of the shadow was not Included in the bargain. The dispute at last grew so warm that it got to blows, and finally gave rise to an action at law.” * After having said so much, Demos thenes continued the defence of his client; but the auditors, whose curi osity he had piqued, were extremely anxious to know how the judges de cided on so singular a cause. Upon this, the orator commented severe ly on their childish injustice, in de vouring with attention apaltry story about an ass’ shadow, while they turned a deaf ear to a cause in which the life of a human being was in volved. From that day, when a man showed a preference for discussing small and contemptible subjects to great and important ones, ho was said “to dis pute on the shadow of an ass.” SPRINGER’S OPERA HOUSE.
