The 4. & G.. Railroad.

A New York dispatch Of the lst says
Judge Woodruff to-day reversed the
order OF Judge Hla,chford, adiudging
the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad
a5 bankrupt. He holds that the compa-
ny having been organized under the
laws Of Alabama, could not legally
move to New York" "
We confess an utter inability to keep
up with the condition of the a. Il &.
Road. Decisions and counter decisions
follow each other almost daily. while
the enterprise itself, the country it ira
verses, creditors, and all the interests
concerned are suffering. II has been Il
most miserably managed affair from the
time Stanton's complications commence
cd, and We are not right certain but
that it would be better now to turn
the road over, as precious pres.
ent, without money and without price,
to Col. j. &. Stanton, or any other man,
who understands the business. ard who
would put it in good order and run it.,
as other lines are occas iOnally run---in
the mutual interest of the management
and the public.

George WashingtOn's Farm.

We don't remember to have ever
printed the following, and copy itnow
to show our farming friends what ""ihe
Father Of his Country used to do in
the way of agriculture:
The farm Of Cen Washington, at
Mount Vernon. contained ten thousand
acres Of land in one hody-cquAl to
fifteen square miles. II was divided
into farms Of convenient size, at the
distance Of two, three, and five miles
from his mansiou-housC. He visited
these farms every day. in plcaaan,
weather. and was constantly engaged
in making experiments for the improve
ment of agriculture. Some idea Of the
eXteHt OF Ms farming operations NAV
be found from the following facts: In
l,Sl, he had five hundred and cichty
acres IN grass; sowcd six hundred
bushels of onts; seven hundred acres
with whC3t-anG rs much more in corn.
barley, potatoes, bcau., peas, &C., and
lJJ with turnips. His stock consisted
pr one hundred and forty horses; one
hundred and twelve COWS: two hum
drcd and thirtv-,iX working oxen.
hciicrs, aud steers. and five hundred
sheep. He constantly employed two
hundred and Iihty hands, and kept iwon-
ty-toUr plou%hs going during the whole
year, when the cart. and The state of
weather would permit, In lTSO, he
slaughtered one hundred and ii,tv hogs,

The One Term Principle.

Horace Greeley, ia the Irjb"He, says,
though he does not cyalt the onc-term
principle above every other couSidera-
iion, yet he has adhered to it over thirty
years, never supporting a President for
reelection but once, that he has reason
for believing that Grant asserted it less
than four years ago. He doesn't say
that Grant will not, If nominated. be
elected. lie does not say he will not
support him, but that his nomination
renders doubtful Republican triumph.
which a onc.tcrm pledged candidate
would make certain.

a IrailJvC Predicted.

y srccial from London says the i'm
preston prevails there that the Geneva
Convention will necessarily disappoiut
the hopes of its friends and that the end
will prove failure, If the conference
should decide in favor of the claim no
English government would accept the
result, no Parliament would vote the
money, hence the movement would ab-
ruptly stop.
This expression is no doubt largely in
accordance with popular sentiment in
Great Britain, and it is not at all impro-
bablc that VIC may still have serious
complications with that country before
the ycycd Alabama claims are adjusted,
For once Grants government is act
ing wscly-in putting the lortiiications
in our harbors and along our extended
coast liae in a better state Of defense.

What the Merchants Want.

". K. Moore, of Memphis, writes
concerning the suit instituted day or
two ago in the First Circuit Court OF
,lat city:
"ihc suit which the merchants have
instituted is not because Of their unwil-
lingncss to pay in full the al vaorcm
tax, but because Of the unconstitu,ion-
aliiy (as they believe Of the law claim.
ing privilege or license, which. un-
der present statute, is imposed u, on
them, in addition TO the al yalorcm tax
The merchants claim. also. that the
Legislature has no lawful power TO az
bitrariIy define their capital TO be (aS
the present statute doc) 'the largest
amount Of stock held on .nlc at any one
time during The wear; and il is against
this assumption that they also protest.
In brief, then, the merchants briu" suit
to resist the payment Of all privilege
taxes, and TO insist upon simply an al
yalorcm tax upon actual stock, just rs
is now claimed from other respectable
clas,c= and calliugs.'

Georgia, undoubtedly the most enter
prising Of all the Southern States. is
now moving in behalf Ola stupendous
project, which, if carried out. will ma
ternly affect the commerce Of the Mis-
sissippi river. The proposition is to
construct n canal from st. Loui. to ST.
vannah, mainly for the transportation
of grain-a route that would be 800
miles less to the sea than that of the
Mississippi river. is estimated that
the cost Of this enterprise will not
exceed SlOO3O,ODO-a mere trilc in com
parison with the new trade that it
would draw to Georgia.

upon the favoritc plea of insanity in
murder cases:
"i'hc law presumcs man TO be sane
until the contrary is proven; the evil
dcnca of the insanity of defendant must
be as clear and satisfactory TO overturn
the presumption Of the law in favor of
sanity rs it j. required to ovcrturn that
in favor Of innocence.
The proof Of insanity. TO Gcquit, should
