twenty-fve.public buildings are now in
course of erection under the Govern

to be fine structures and many of them
to cost, when completed. millions of
dollars. They comprise chiefly court
houses, custom houses and post Offices

the public service to be included in one

in all parts of the country, from Maine
to Oregon and from Michigan to Lou

WATER Power AT AUGUSTA, Ga
Mayor Estes, Of Augusta, Ga, now in
New York, represents the enlargement
OF water power there as in a condition
that promises complete success. Years
ago, it was believed by practical men
that enlarging the Augusta Canal to q
point on the Savannah River, above the
city OF Augusta. would. by economizing
the water power in the rapids, give q
supply for mills that would largely be-
neht the manufacturing capacity Of the
place. At present, they have 1,1OO
horse power, with fall of water &c feet
IN two falls, on seven-mile canal. All
this is used in the city by the Augusta
Factory and five -four mills, iron foun-
deries, &c. The enlargement of the
canal as proposed will change it from
40 feet wide and feet deep to $50 feet
wide and II deep. This, it is estimated,
will furnish at least II, 900 horse power,
and at moderate estimate, 13, 500 horse
power. It is intended that this water
power shall DO used just outside the
city, ct from 80 to IS feet fall, thus
ntiliz;1g oil the force of the water. As
the laws Of Georgia exempt cotton and
woolcn factoties from taxation, Estate,
County and municipal for ten years, it
is believed that the advantages of the
canal enlargement will be taken up even
before the work is fully completed. The
engineer in charge estimates and the
contractor promises that 5000 horse
power shall be ready for use by January
next, and that by March. 1875, the en-.
tire work will be finished. The amount
of money expended on the improve
ment, mp to the 1st of August. was
$3.50, 600. This completes AMI pays for
one-half Of the work.

There is great complaint OF the cattle
plague il the farther West. In four
townships in Kansas, $1,000 worth OF
stock las died. AS the disease spread
from herd OF Texas cattle brought into
Kansas. it is obviously contagious. Con.
sidefing, therefore, the great prepara-
tions that are now being made for the
transportation of Western stock to the
Eastern market, the danger of extending
the plague is patent. Probably never
before were such immense droves ga
thered at the depots in Kansas, Nebraska
and Texas as this season. In view Of
this circumstance, the Eastern States
will, it is to be presumed, soon take
measures to protect themselves. Once
before, this cattle plague broke out in
Texas, and the route Northward and
Westward as far as New York OF the ir-
coming herds VAS marked by dissent.

Poverty OF the Southern states.

Poverty OF the Southern states.
A correspondent OF the New York
Tribune has collected from the census
reports Of 1870, au exhibit uf the value
of property in the Southern States.
The comparison With. tho values of 1860,
as shown by the census of that year,
makes startling showing OF the inpo-
vsrishment of the South within the past
decade. There are few men at the pre-
sent day who will care to dispose of the
whole question by deciding the impo-
verishmsnt to be just visitation upon
the South for the sins of the rebellion.
Practical mon will rather stop to consi-
de: that the burden OF this loss falls
upon the entire country. and inquire
into'the cause OF it. It cannot be traced
to the emancipation OF the slaves.
There is only one other cause that can
account for this Wholesale impoverish.
ment, and that is to be found in the
abuses incident to reconstruction.
These abuses may be summed up
under 'swo general heads:~(1.) The di-
version of large proportion of the
colored people from systematic indus
try, and (2) the villainiea of carpet-bag-
ism. But the people Of the North can.
not afford to have this process of impo-
verishment continue. The difference OF
$4,000, ,000.C COO in property values a. the
South. including the actual depreciation
and the stoppage of natural increase,
means withdrawal OF that amount of
tax-paying resources. This withdrawal
OF taxes, which the Southern States
might pay under favorable oirsum-
stances, throws just that additional bur-
den upon the ta1-paying property OF the
North. In this view of the case, the
support OF the carpet-bag governments
OF the Southern States falls proportion
ately upon every taxpayer in the North
ern States.

Referring to the speech of Senator
Hayne, Of South Carolina, in his ia
nous controversy with Daniel Webster,
the Portland (Me.) Press says: "The
only copy OF his speech on satin was
printed in this city by the late General
Thomas Todd, in 1882, who was at that
time publisher and proprietor of the
Argus. Gen. Todd purchased the satin
of q gentleman in this city, who was at
that time in the dry goods business,
printed Mr.. Haynes speech upon it in
beautiful style aud gilded it. It was in
book form, and elegantly bound by the
late Simeon Pratt, of this city, and was
then presented to President Jackson by
Gen. Todd"

what tho damage will be when the next

says: "Wc mentioned in our last issue

himself, Thursday, and learned from
him that while his crop is good, the
average Of the crop this year is fully ten
per cent. below that of last year."

PROPOSED BALLOON VOYAGE.
proposed venture of Professor Wise, as
the time approaches for its trial, must
excite increasing interest. The savants,
however, are exceedingly reticent and
non-committal. Professor Henry re-
commends that the existence OF the
Eastward moving current, upon which
the mronaut relies. be first tested by a
voyage across the continent, say from
San Francisco to New York. Such an
experiment would certainly be- prudent,
but it may be that certain causes operate
to produce on Eastward moving current
over the Atlantic, and not over North
America. It is to be admitted that the
evidence which supports tho theory of
Professor Wise is fragmentary and by
no means conclusive. The strongest
proof as yet advanced is the observa-
ton of the present Astronomer Royal OF
Scotland, made on the peak of Tenerilfe.
in the Canary Islands, in 1853, of a
continuous South-westeriy wind, from
the 1S.h of July to the 30th. of August.
But this current may have been the re-
snlt of local causes; for over North
Central Africa the heat is SO intense
during the months of June, July and
August, that partia! vacuum is created
there which attracts heavy indraught
from the cooler equatorial regions to
the South and South west of TenerifTe.
On the other hand, there is peculiar
confirmation OF meteorological results
which render it probable that current
from the Sonth- west moves over the
North Atlantic from November to
March. Within this period. the suns
heat is very great over the equatorial re.
gions of South America, and the volume
OF rarefied air constantly going up from,
that heated section may be detected to-
wards the North and East. After the
month of March, however, the region OF
low barometer about the great lakes
would likely produce an il draught in
that direction, nentralizing the East.
ward tendency of the current. We sup.
pose that the great Mronaut has taken
all these considerations under advise.
ment, and that ho has good reasons for
the selection OF time he has made. at
oil events We wish him the completcst
success; and in case he discovers IN
'erlal route to the old world. we shall
account him the greatest and boldest OF
explorers.
