This is the cry Of a good many people
who feel but cannot take time TO see. If
they could go TO Charleston, Savannah
andMobile and see the bundles of North.
ern hay unIoaded, they would wonder
whether the North was not paying them
back (bale for bale) hay for Coilon.--
This hay is now selling at Sl.75 per 100
pounds and the annual amount deliver
ell at the three ports exceeds In value
Sl.500O00. And yet here in Georgia are
thousands of acres which now lie In
swamp which might easily be made to
WELD two tons of hay per acre, worth
$40, at only the cost olemowing, baling
aud hopping. People will hardly be-
lieve II, yet figures show that the hay
crop Of Maine Is worth as much ms the
cotton crop Of Georgia. Had the pee.
pie there to buy II, Maine would be-
come wilderness. But they raise all
the hay they need and q good deal TO
spare, and so Of all their farm products.
When Georgia farmers learn to. raise
enough food they may not have so much
cotton 10 sell, but they will be more
happy and independent.
1t 10 said that the Georgia Grangers
propose to take this matter in hand, and
grow their own hay, corn and meat, so
as not to be dependent upon East Ten
nessee or any other section for these
important products. This would work
well for Georgia, but II the Southern
market should be destroyed, we don't
know what would become of the sur.
plus. products Of East Tennessee unless
the PosT can build up home market.

The Franking Privilege.

privilege was brought to decisive
vote. The first motion was TO lay the
bill on the table, which was defeat

privilege pure and simple, but only 80
members voted for that, while 200 voted
against it. Then came the final vote.
The bill was rejected by one majority.
The vote stood 1870 to l3l. 1t will proba-

A Waste Of Eighty Millions.

Our 100000 dogs furnish one OF the
mosUmpor'ant economic considerations
now affecting the State. In the fsst
place. they initiate against the mutton
crop annually 10 the extent Of at least
s5,O0000; secondly, they cost, at an av-
average Of Is cents week each, S6,0O0,-
600. enough to run all our common
schools and leave large siealable sur.
plus; thirdly, they slay annually,
through hydrophobia, at least l2O per-
sons, which (at 5000 each-the average
price paid by railroads for the very
poorest grade Of brakesmen) amounts
TO further sum of 100000. Here is
direct expenditure Of nearly seven and
and three.quarter millions for dogs, not
10 mention the fines, cost and more re-
note and sentimental damages resulting
freW lawsuits about dog.fghts and con-
sequens severance Of friendships be-
tween the owners Of the combative ours
Add to this the annual expenditure In
the city forold boots, chamber crockery
paper weights, bootjacks and such other
articles as may be most readily utilized
Of moonlight nights, and 1t will occur to
the prejudiced friend of the dog that
he is an animal wherein retrenchment
could be- practicedto advantage in these
economical days. Capitalized. our dogs
represent waste OF SSOOOOOOO, and In
vested at compound interest, one year
Of their aggregate wothlessness would

Congress and the Railroads.

The Washington Star says the select
Committee on transportation is rapidly
perfecting It's report, which will be sub
mitted to Congress some time this
month. The Committee will take the
position that Congress has the authority
to regulate the rates Of fare over rail-
roads, but will recommend against the
exercising of such authority, on the
ground that II is now inexpedient.

From the Nashville Banner.

Anu now comes nuotncr "Ofuef OF
organization to be making trouble for
the politicians aud the parties. In some
OF the Northern and Western States the
"boys In blue are organizing under the
name OF the "Order OF Enlisted Men,
In the State Of Indiana alone, 1t claims a
membership Of $1,000. and no stiiliation
whatever with either of the political
parties. The indianapolis Camp, the
other day, adopted rather significant
platform. The second resolution de.
clares that "the course ofthe present Ad.
ministration has, ever since the close OF
the war, been an insult to the Union
soldiers who fought for the maintenahce
OF the laws, peace aud dignity of the
United States" The third resolution
demands a pension of $500 TO every
soldier who enlisted for three years and
was honorably discharged. The fith
resolution demands certain amendments
to the pension laws, TO secure to soldiers,
or their representatives, their pensions,
and II not paid, ii suggests the proprie.
,y Of selling the horses aud vehicles,
heretofore owned by the Government,
and driven by the clerks OF Departments,
III order that the said clerks may have
more leisure TO attend 10 official duties,
and the suffering children of pension
claimants may be fed without going TO
the poor.houscs. The sixth resolution is
the saltiest of all. II says; "Wc think
that the properly Of the bond.holders
should be taxed same as the property
of the poor soldiers" the military ne
cessity exempting them from taxation
no longef existing. The seventh res
olut:on might be regarded by super
sensitive lCyallsts as slightly squirting
in the direction Of reputation, mas
much as Il does not believe in starry
ing or freezing those who suffered most
in the war; in order 10 pay the National
debt or some part Of 1t, while future
generations can, with an increased
wealth Of the nation, pay the principal
easier than the present generation could
pay the interest. The eleventh resolu-
ton demands more currency, with tho
pellet that "the present paper currency
is just as good for us as II was during the
war;" The remaining resolutions en.
dorse the one.term system; endorse all
measures favoring the interes. Of the
working classes recognizes equal rights
to all citizens, Irrespective Of race or
nationality; and demands such legisla-
iion in regard TO transportation as will
secure to all men just aud equitable
rights.
Such, substantially, Is the spirit Of this
new Order, which its advocates claim
is an Improvement upon "The Grand
Army o. the Republic" which soon be-
came "a machine in the hands of poll.
ticlans, and went under, as 1t deserved
to do" We do not know what the
movement amounts TO, or whether II
may turn out song or sermon" 1t
will be interesting to those who are
watching the drift of political opinion
in different portions Of the country.

a lecture in Baltimore last week, TO d
large audience his subject being "The
Mechdnic" The Sun says:
The Lecturer said the mecl anic needs
no Introduction TO modern audience.
Every body knows him. His elgn manu-.
al Is on everything that human hands
have made. That plain earnest looking
man, clad in coarse cloth or leather
apron, the smokc aud dust Of the " otk-
shop on his face aud the sweat drops Of
toll on his brow, holds in his hands tho
wand of true magician, Science Is
the powerful genius that has given him
dominion over the earth; making the
most powerful forces Of matter, fribu.
tary 10 the art, the comforts, ana luxu-
ries OF peace, or 10 the terrible enyinery
Of war. No wonder tint the mechanic
should be the subject Of n lecture IN this
our day IN his relation TO tho hul,itu-
dnous interests Of humanity. The lec-
turer treated Of n great variety of sub,
jects IN a practical scholarly way, and
was listened to with great attention.

The Knoxville correspondent Of the

about the Second District;
"The Second District is agitating pref
ty lively the coming Congressional
question. AS l have written before,
there are perhaps several who would
like 10 have the race on the Republican
side. But Houk evidently has the In.
side track. Besides persosal obscrva.
tions aud interviews with leading Re.
pubicans from almost every county in
the District, l have beer shown many
letters, written by prominent Republi.
cans, to a gentleman IN this city who
has taken an interest In the matter, aud
il may safely he asserted that Houk's
prospects are far better than any other
aspirant's, reports to the contrary not
withsianding.
Judge Temple has n great many
warm friends In the Second District,
but under the circumstances they are
willing TO coboede the race TO Houk." 4.

mittee together at any tlmo 10 examine
the merits Of candidates for political
Office, and will advise subcommittee
OF county councils, who will give infor.
nation to Changers regarding such eau
didates. THERE'S evident determination
on the part OF considerable nun Der of
Changers to make their influence felt Id
the next election. There Is, 10 fact, an
unorganized party IN this State Gaarge,
who bleve in speaking out and telling
what is wanted in the way ofreprcsent-
alive men. They desire to say 10 the
world that the object of the Grange Is
not only TO benefit its members inside.
