Happy Georpin.

We see 1T stated TINT the taxable pro-
perty of Georgia, in 1871. was $2lO,.
602,211. This year, it has increased
$4,000. .052, and will amount to 1926
663, ,263. It is about $75. 900, 900 moro
than the taxable property OF South Ca.
rolina. or half as much moro. The
taxes this year for general purposes will
reach 100000, specific taxes slOO, 900,
and for public schools about $1,000
Thus the whole tax of our sister State,
upon 1926. .663, 1868, will be little more
than the sum which will be raised in this
State to supply deficiencies, ut five mills
on the dollar, on basis of $3.50, 600, 900.
Nothing could be more convincing than
these figures, as to the comparative diff.
ference in prosperity between the two
States.

worthy incident in his remarkable
career. The learned counsellor has
observed in fitting terms that ''the pro.

pacity as citizen, nrdently opposed Mr..
Greeley in his late candidacy for Presi-

morrow cast vote in the college Of

was opposition which, though earnest
against the candidate, was always linked
with the expression OF the highest re.
spect for the man. The fact that Horace
Greeley was sincerely supported as q
candidate for the chief magistraoy OF
his country by thousands of brave
gentlemen, who but recently had re-
sisted his theories of government on
moro than 100 battle fields with unavail-

historian as most memorable instance
of their fiux in the current CT human
thought aud sentiment. In his death
the republic has lost wise statesman
and pure patriot; the poor, benefac-

pressed of every land an advocate. If,

Combination OF Judge Orr as Minister
80 R.ssla.


Hon. James Il. Orr has been confirmed
as Minister to the Court of Russia, and
we presume that his acceptance is mat
ter ofecourse. This is one of the great.
est distinctions. which the Government
has to confer upon its sons, and has
usually been bestowed upon those who
move in the higher spheres OF talent and
usefulness. Judge Orr has had long ex-
perience in political life. and has made
his mark in the political history of the
country. We believe that he has aimed
to serve it faithfully. While we have
differed with MIN in many things, We
take'pleaaure In bearing our testimony
to his patriotism, talents and integrity.
We are gratified at his appointment, and
trust that his soiourn abroad may be
pleasant and agreeable. We have to re-.
gret his departure at the present crisis
OF affairs in this State. We shall very
much miss his influence and efforts in
favor of good government here.
