THE MARINE HOSPITAL,

We are gratitied at the stand Ia
ken BY the Times in OPPOSITION to
the contemplated sale Of the Marine
Hospital and the grounds attached.
There is a great necessity that ii
should be kept for hospital purpos-
es. If the United States govern
ment does not feel justified in long
er sustaining II, then let the govern
mcnt either turn it over TO the city
or State. The amount realized
from TIT sale Of this property will
not be OF any consequence to the
general government, aud will result
in the loss Of very necessary in-
siitutiOn II the State, county or
city was In a condition TO buy, we
would urge that one or the other
should do so, but neither can COM
mand sufficient money to make the
purchase, and the consequence will
be that this important building will
pass into the hands Of individuals,
and will be by them used for other
purposes than those for which 1t
was created, aud for which there is
such necessity. The building and
grounds are valuable, but at this
nasty sale they will bring nothing
near their full value. And the gen.
eral government in the cause of
charity can we'll afford to donate
this much TO this desolated district.
We hope some measures will be
adopted by which the sale will be
prevented, and tho property con-
tinued to be used as an hospital. If
not as a Marine Hospital, then for
the INDECENT sick o fthe county, city
or State, for which there are now
insufficient accommodation.

Ir is probably not generally
known hat Bullock, the carpet
bag Governor Of Georgia, is
charged with stealing from the
State about half a million of dol.
lars, and that he is liable to be
impeached at any moment by the
Legislature Of that State. Hence
it is absolutely necessary that the
Legislature should be packed.
Half a million goes a long way in
buying friends. Bullock was in
Washington before the President
sent in his message; it is charged
that the President at rare intervals
accepts presents; the President
recommended In his message that
Georgia he restored to the Recon
struction mill. Butler is charged
by certain people Of New Orleans
as being a man ready to accept a

gineered Bullock's Georgia bill
through the lower house. Can ii
be possible that Bullock is giving
away any of his half million in
Washington?

PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY OF
OUR LANDS.

That "brag acre of cotton near
Macon, Ga, which has been so fire.
quently reported upon during the
progress OF the growth of the crop,
Is made the subject Of special notice
by a correspondent of the Southern
Farm and Home, in the first Rum-
Der of that interesting magazine.
The writer is setting forth the ben
efts of deep blowing, and, as an il
lustration, gives the results Of this

ing extract:

HWwuGRANTs' HOWE,
Yesterday we gave some ideas In
connection with this subject. We
endeavored to show the Importance
Of making suitable provision for
immigrants reaching our city. We
earnestly believe that this Is the
critical moment In the life Of this
great lever Of wealth, population
and prosperity in our State. This
is the moment when It requires the
greatest amount Of fostering care.
A little money jIdiciOrsly spent
now will prevent the necessity Of
the expenditure Of ten times the
amount IN the future. As we ar
gued yesterday, IL the first Comers
here should be we'll and s~atisfactly
provided for, they can influence
more of their friends to follow
them, than all efforts made by home
immigrant associations.
Our city is heavily taxed, and
much Of the money collected by this
excessive system Of taxation is
wasted on various schemes Ofwhich
we see nothing tangible left. AS
there seems to be no means of re-
lief from this burdensome taxation
why not have some Of the money
applied in such manner as will
leave lasting proof OF its expendi-
turO. The State s not nov in a
condition to assist IN this matter,
and 1t will take too long TO correct
ly organize individual cOmbina.
tons by which the great object can
be secured. We therefore suggest,
for consideration, that, in the in
cipiency OF this scheme, at a period
when no other agency can be iu-
voked, the city take the matter In
charge. Appoint and pay an agent
to provide for immigrants arriving
here. Let the city hire and furnish
a small boarding house, where these
people can be provided for. The
expense will not be very great, and
we think that with proper care, in
the hands Of efficient and honest
persons the institution can in a
short time be made self-sustaiuing.
The immigrants temporarily pro.
vided for in this wmmigrant's
Home can be charged a sum some.
thing over the actual expense Of
keeping them. In this way, we
think a sum sufficient to support
the "Home" can be realized.
II is probably not strictly the
duty OF the citizens Of the city t.
undertake TO bear the burden OIL
this affair, but circumstances are
such just now that the duty can b
performed by no others. In the
present anomalous condition Of the
State, no assistance can ia good
time he received from tina
source, nor can individual effort bC
made effective as soou as we con
ccive requisite. The city has beer

70 b PRoVIsIONAL GOV.
ERN0a.
We learn that General Alcorn re-
fuses 10 accept the position OF Pro.
visiOnal Governor, as recently ten
dered him By General Ames. To
US there Is nothing very exlraOrdi-
nary in this. In tue first place we
deny that q vacancy exists, and that
General Ames can create q vacany.
He is the Provisional Governor.
He received the appointment from
an authority which alone can divest
him of il. The political novice,
however, seems to be impressed
with the belief that he can don,
aud lay aside offices with the same
ease and CELEBRITY that he can his
great coat. He thought for awhile
that he could be both United States
Senator and Lieutenant Col onel in
the regular army, and while Sena-
tor could vote himself a Brigadier.
This vision, which has sorely op.
pressed him for some time past,
however, has been diSsipnted, and
1t is now said that he has no politi-
cal aspirations, There is one civil
position in the State, however, 10
which he cliDgs with the tenacity
of death, and that is the office of
State Treasurer. He is exceedingly
lOath to surrender It. We cannot
conceive why. ltls q most respon-
sible position, and as there can be
to him certainly no emolumcnt or
profit, We are surprised that he
does not evlnce a readiness TO re-
lieve himself of the cares and re-
spOnsibilities OF the Office.
There is no vast amount OF friend
ship existing between General
Amcs and General Alcorn. They
are not Damon and Pythias by
any means. General Alcorn was
not General Amcs' choice
fer Governor. General Ames had
his wishes ccntered on the "GreNt
Organizer orClarkc county, Hen
ry Musgrove. He failed however
to secure the nomination Of his
favorite, Notwithstanding lie fool
ishly thought he held the Radical
party and all its plans in the palm
of his hand.
General AIcorn is u proud, high
spirited gentleman, and he does
not therefore desire nor intend to
"play second fiddle TO such q
creature. lie knows that It he
accepts lthc position as rendered
him, every appointment which he
makes will be in obedience TO or.
ders from Ames. He will be con-
stantly compelled to outrage hi;
feelings. Do injustice to his
friends. Place himself in GalsC
positions. Make enemies Of thosC
whom 1t is his interest and pur
pose to make friends. The Office
of Provision Governor under thu
reconstruction acts is, in effect
abrogated.
Besides, General Alcorn is salts
fed that it will be but q short tint
before the State will he received
by Congress, aud then he can be
come Governor by virtue. Of hi
election, and hold the office no
alone in name, but be clothed viii
all the powers of the position. Al
it is, should he accept the position
rendered him by General Ames
he would be simply a copying
clerk for that astute and sagaciou
individual. lie would simply b,
permitted to obey the high be
hests of the Lordly Ames. Thi
and nothing more.
