Col. $. II. Jordan Is the largest
planter in Georgia. lie makes the fol-
lowing comparative statement of the
relative amount of crops planted in the
cotton belt of Georgia in 1874 over that
of 1873; Oats, 100 per cent more !;
wheat, 20 per cent corn, 10 per cent ;
cotton, % per cent less than in 1878.
He takes hopeful and cheerful view
of the present situation aud future
prospects of the planters of the state;
says that they are, although moneyless,
In a better condition than any year
since the war; and Notwithstanding
the floods which have overtaken them
this spring, ample time is left to repair
all damages and still make the greatest
abundance of grain and meat to do
them year. In view of the disaster
which has happened in the Mississippi
valley and throughout thewhole cotton
region of the south, the prospects are
very favorable for cotton bringing an
average of twenty cents per pound next
fall and winter.

above seems highly Colored. But
that is easily accounted for by the
fact stated that Butler withheld his
speech for revision, and in doing so
''doctored" Fosters remarks, so that
his own defeat should not appear so
crushing. The above report, how
ever, differs but little, and not es-
sentially from that of The New York
Tribune, which gives Foster the
credit of exposing the disgraceful
farming out of revenue collections
under the law which allowed con-
tracing for the collection of taxes
sought to be withheld from the
government. The New York World
correspondent devotes a column to
the matter and asserts that Butler
attempted to play the "bully' with
our Representative, who paid no at
tention to his implied threats, but
returned to the charge again and
again until he
doubled Butler completely by say
ing that while he might under some
circumstances, feel it necessary to
apologize to the House for bringing
up the name of man who was not
present, yet it was not necessary
wien that man was represented on
floor of the House by his own attor-
ney. Butler became so enraged at
this that he acted more like a wild
animal than a human being.
After this Butler had to sustain
attacks from various individuals, and
the World says:
Finally Mr.. Randall, of Pennsyl-
vania, told Butler that when the
subject came up he would furnish
him with all the evidence he wanted
about the outrageous operations of
SanbOrn's gang in Philadelphia. To
these latter speeches Butler made no
reply whatever, his mouth having
been completely closed by Mr.. Fos-
ter, of Ohio.
1t gives us much satisfaction to
know that our Representative is
making himself felt, and we don't
know any one NE would rather have
had him try his hand ON than Ben
Butler. We congratulate him on
his success, not only for ourself, but
for the people of the county. We
trust he will lay bare all the rotten
ness and corruption there is in the
Sanborn matter, even if Ben has to
squeal at every step of its progress.

CONGRESS met on the llth, but in
view of the illness of Hon. Charles
Sumner, Senate at once adjourned.
The House continued in Session un-
til three o'clock, when, upon the an
nouncement Of the death Of Sumner,
it adjourned.
The proceedings of the Senate and
House in connection with the death
of Senator Sumner,oon the 18th viii
be found on the outside of this pa
per. No business was done.
-~on the 18th the last sad offices
were performed in the Senate Cham
Der, over the body of the late Sena-
tor, and it is said that no funeral has
taken place from the capital which
was so solemn and impressive since
the ceremonies over President Lin
coin. A deep grief seemed breeding
over the city. After the ceremonies
the body, in charge of the Sergeant
alarms, and the Committees Of the
House, was conveyed to the train,
and the funeral cortege moved Off
Distinguished hOnors were paid to
the remains in all places through
which the train passed until it reach
ed Boston, where. it was taken in
charge by the State authorities, and
placed in Doric Hall under guard.
The funeral took place from the State
House, on Monday afternoon, amid
solemn ceremonies.

The Crusade.

1t is scarcely necessary to advert
to particulars in the progress of the
temperance crusade. 1t is still spread
ing in every direction, and places
that a week ago were untouched
now feel the effect of its presence.
In our immediate neighborhood, the
the work continues with unabated
zeal, and with a corresponding meas
ure of success. The work of organ
ization is about completed in Tiffin.
At Perrysburg the ladies have CON-
menced their visitations. At Def
ance the the work of organization
goes on. NorWalk has not met with
much success. Milan commenced
the work on the 9th, adjoured till the
18th, when they had a rousing meet
ing and a good conference. A mass
meeting was held on Sunday after
noon, and speakers were present
from Cleveland and Norwalk. At
this place the work was inaugurated
in its preliminary stage, on Monday
evening, and the meetings called so
far, would indicated that the saloons !
Would be in a state of seige ere long.
In Chicago on Monday, a della
CATION of 100 women with a memo
rial signed by 10000 women against
the repeal of the Sunday saloon clos
ing ordinance, waited upon the
Council to present the same and en-
deavor to influence their action, but
the Peoples Party Aldermen claimed
they were elected upon that issue
and must vote for the repeal which |
they accordingly did, and the ordi-
nance was repealed by vote of %
IA. On leaving the Council Cham
Der the ladies were sssailed with
yells and hoWls by vile crowd which
had assembled on the outside. At
Indianapolis and at Pittsburg ladies
waited upon the Mayors of these
cities and prayed with them, and re-
quested them to enforce the exist
ing laws. At Washington city the
clergy are about to open the move
ment by week of prayer and prep
aration. In New York the work
but its effects are only
noticeable in signatures to the
pledged. No saloons have been
closed.

County Finances.

In our paper this week will be
found the amended report of the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the
county for the year ending Sep, End,
1873. 1t is full and complete, and
we invite the attention of all to it,
that ifany discrepancies exist they
may be found and exposed. We
have gone over it carefully, compar-
ed its balances, and find no point in
which it fails to agree. The large
discrepancy which appeared in the
County Fund, is explained by the
amount overdraWn at former set
tlement. The total amount received
into the County Fund was $3S,456.10.
The amount paid out $49,833.22-
showing that to meet that amount
an overdraft of $11 ,377.12 was neces-
sary. For this purpose $19, 900 were
temporarily transferred from the
Bridge and Poor Funds, leaving a
balance, as shown in the tabular
statement, of $2,522.83.
By a blunder which was scarcely
excusable, this transfer was treated
as an expenditure in both those
funds as well as in the County Fund,
and created most of the discrepan-
cies in these funds to which we
have called attention, the balance
being accounted for by orders out
standing at previous settlement.
The present statement agrees with |
itself through, although differing es-
sentially from the original statement. |
