THE KU KLUx BILL.

The bill, so-called, passed the
House in modified form on the 9Th.
1t declares it felony for two or more
persons conspiring against the gov
eminent lin various ways enumera-
ted) holding such persons amenable
before the U. S. Courts. In cases
of domestic violence or instruction
when the State fails to afford pro-
lection, the President may employ
the national forces for its suppress
ion. He may also suspend the writ
of habeas corpus until June, 1872,
when conspiracy sets at defiance the
State authorities or they are in com
plicity with the conspiracy. This is
wide gap, if they are so disposed
to let "the King and his army pass

PRo@REss,

The Radical papers in Texas thus
argue on the Social Equality theme ::
Democratic Senators and 1epre-
sentatives are opposed to their chill
dren and the children of their con-
stituents occupying seats in a school
house along side of black children
but they do not decline to occupy
seats themselves along side of Solored
men in Legislative halls. Every man
who voted against the school bill be-
cause it does not forbid linked
schools" ought to resign and go home
at once.

K. NJ. GOODMAN, ESQ, -My Dear
Sir beg to present you a speci-
men of our Plow Lines. The de-
mand was so great for them that we
extemporized machine and think
you will agree with me that it is a
success. These lines are made of
Just such thread as we sell in bunch
es, and not as common rope OF
"waste" and inferior cotton. Hence
their beauty and durability too.
Am glad to say that we are now
making an average of twenty-five
hundred pounds of excellent yarn
per day.
Some time since a pleasant and
instructive correspondent of yours,
estimated the population of our quiet
little village at 70. As the census
has Just been taken, allow me to give
you the result
Whites SOS
Colored, 20
Total, 63o
While this is small it is somewhat
larger than his estimate. If I'M
wearisd efforts, unAagging zeal and
intense devotion to business shall be
blessed Of Him who succeeds or
thwarts all earthly projects, l think
''Roswell" will yet be successfully
RECONSTRUCTED"
With best wishes for your wei! be-
ing in all things,

PLANTING COTToN.-Some of our
larger farmers, says the Columbus
Sun, have commenced planting cot
ton this week. While it is true that
much more corn and small grain has
been planted than last year, our best
information is to the effect that the
acreage in cotton will about equal
that of last year Each planter
seems trying to fool his neighbour
We have made careful inquiry and
this appears to be the average con-
dition of affairs in this section.

PRESIDENT GRANT.

The Washington Correspondent OF
the n. Y. Mercantile Journal speak
ing of radical divisions and tenden
cies says:
"The political outlook drifts strong
ly toward Grants reelection: for,
despite Mr.. Boutwell's financial
laundering, and Mr.. Robeson's mis-
management of the navy, it must be
admitted that this administration,
while others have surpassed it in par
ticulars, is on the whole good one.
The Presidents high personal char
acter, and the forty thousand offices
in his gift, tend to paralyze the OPP
position of professional politicians,
though it is more than possible that
Grant, like Lincoln, may be obliged
to change his Cabinet to insure sue
cess at the polls.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF MICROSCOPIC
OBJEcTs.--Photographs of objects
seen in the Microscope are now TAX
en- of a size sufficiently large to per-
manently show to the naked eye the
essential features of objects as seen.
This process will be of great use in
all the natural sciences. The re-
verse of the process, viz: the pho
tographing of large objects reduced
to microscopic dimensions, has been
much employed in Paris during the
recent war, for the transmission of
dispatches.

MINERAL RESOURCES OF GEORGIA.
The Savannah News says Mr.. j,
w. Jones, of Lebanon, Pennsylyan-
ia, has recently spent some time in
exploring the iron regions of Upper
Georgia. Mr.. Jones is the proprie-
tor of large mining interests in
Pennsylvania, and he gives it as his
opinion that Georgia and Alabama
are richer in iron ore than any State
in the Union. Iron which costs
eight dollars per ton for getting out
in Pennsylvania can be got out IN
Georgia for one dollar and sixty
cents. Mr. Jones, in connection
with other capitalists, has made
large purchases in our iron regions,
and it. is his intention to transfer his
entire interests to this State next
fall. The well known Messrs.
Thomas, of Pennsylvania, are now
making arrangements to put up fur
naces, ETC., at the mines purchased
by them in Alabama.

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

IF left free from external in
fiuences, the present white popula-
ton ofthe South would get a long very
well with the negro element. But
the conflict is not so confined; it is
a conflict rather with white people
seeking homes il the South and the
negro element. These would rather
have the field of labor unoccupied
by the negro and hence, doubtless,
the effort to annex St. Domingo as
safe and sure haven for the negro
population.

the oath ult., it was discovered that
the plant had begun to throw out its
flower stalk. Its length at that time
was about two feet it is now fully
ten feet. Its rapid development,
when about to flower, is strangely in
contrast with the length of time the
plant takes to perfect itself.

A NORTH GEORGIA COLLEGE AND
THE GREAT CANAL

THE GREAT CAN AL.
The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution furnishes
the following information
THE DAHLoNEGA MINT BUILDING.
On Monday Mr.. Morrill,. of Yer
mont, called up the Senate bill (giv-
en- in former letter. to authorize
the conveyance of the Mint Building
at Dahlonega, to the Trustees of the
North Georgia Agricultural College,
and asked for unanimous consent to
put it on its passage. He said that
the building was useless, at present,
and being offered for sale by the
Government, a bid of $1,000 only,
had been received. 1t might be
made valuable for school purposes,
and it was intended to establish an
Agricultural College if the Govern
ment relinquished it to this society.
Mr.. Casserly objected.
Then from one direction comes
Mr.. Hill, and from another Mr.. Nor
rill, and bearing down upon the OBJ
durate Senator from California, they
surrounded him, and so softened his
heart that a few minutes later he
withdrew his objections, and the bill
was passed.
1t is now before the House, il
charge of Col. Rice, who will use his
best endeavors to secure its passage
1t is very doubtful, however, wheth'
err he will be able to get it through
this session.
This morning he succeeded in get
ting the bill before the House, anc
had letters from the Secretary of the
Treasury and Attorney Genera
read by the Clerk, which indorset
the measure but an objection from
one Clarke, of New York, and a de
mand for the regular order, prevent
ed its passage. Mr.. Rice will, how
ever, try again.
THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WEsTERl
l CANAL.
General t'robel having obtained
survey for this great project by tn
United States Engineer Department
who will also make estimate of cost
S etc., has returned here. Before hi
Z departure, however, he called on tn
Secretary Of War, in company wit
Hon. w. p. Price, and explaine'
: the character of the proposed enter
4 prise, its Importance, and the result
to flow from it. The Secretary wa
very favorably impressed with tn
scheme, and referred Messrs. Pric
aud FrobeI to Gen. Humphrey, tn
Chief of the Engineer Department
who also manifested great interest il
, the undertaking., and asked to re
tain the map General Frobel ha'
prepared, giving the route Of tn
canal. The survey will probably b
commenced within a few weeks
and will be completed snd thu
estimates prepared in time to b'
submitted to the next session of Con
gress. The bill now pending giving
aid to the Canal Company, hereto
fore mentioned will then be prepar'
ed to passage.
