The Civil Service Commission have made
their repor. to the President in volume OF
nearly one hundred printed pages. They say
the methods of civil service reform already es-
tablishcd, while they may need modification in
some details, have been generally successful,
and their practicabity has been demonstrated.
A longer supervision by the Commission will
be needed to secure the proper adaptation OF
the priuc Piles of the new system, and an appro-
priation OF $l5, 900 will be needed to carry on
the reform for another year.

Georgia State Agricultural Socie

Georgia State Agricultural Society,
Secrotary's Office, Atlanta, Ga, Jan. u, 1874
To the Editors of the Herald:
At the last meeting of the State Agricultural
Society, there was imposed upon the Secretary
the duty of obtaining samples of all CONNER
cisl Fertilizers exposed for sale in this State,
and sending the same to the Analytical Chemist
in the State College of Agriculture and the Me-
C anic Arts at Athens, for analy and estima-
ton of value. I have, therefore, obtained and
sent to the Chemist, Prof. White, samples OF
most of the Leading Guanos and Phosphstes that
are sold in this State. 1t is proper to say here
that these samples were taken by myself in per-
son, from the bulk in the warehouses wher' they
were stored, and put in alright glas: jars. The
analyses were made by number, the Chemist not
knowing the name of the article or from whom
it was obtained. The names of the Fertilizers
corresponding with the number sent to the
Chemist were preserved in my Office. l have
received from the Laboratory of the State Col
lege the following results ol the analyses of Fer
tlizers, as shown in the enclosed report of Prof.
White. The calculation of the Commercial
value, Including profit on manufacture. gives as
the cash val e, for which the article should be
sold in Savannah, MS follows:
[NoTE.-Here follows the Secretary's report
of the actual value Of many GIanos sold in that
State, but the names and value of which you will
pardon us for not making public
Purchasers of Fertilizers can compare the cal
culated commercial value with the selling price.
The State Agricultural Society will publish,
for the benefit of the planters, the analyses of
other Fertilizers, q. soon Us received.
Very respectfully,
NJ JOHNSTON, Secretary.
P. S-The names and selling prices of the
Fertilizers in par ,nthess, under the numbers
were inserted by the Secretary after the report
of the Chemist WAS received.

Company did not desire to sell their Guano un-
less it was worth to the Farmer the FORTY
DOLLARS per ton asked for it.
Below you will find Prof Wits analysis of
each cargo sent, and its value You will also
find that Of all the Guanos, Phosphates, &c
analysed by Prof. White, the Guano, imported
by the Peruvian Government, and the GUIANA
hanl, imported by this Company, alone have
stood the test, and both articles found to be
worth many dollars more than the selling price
to the Planter. Yours truly,

VIM. K. Griffith, esq, General Agent Guiana
hani Guano Company Petersburg Virgins:
Dear Sir: have the honor to enclose reports
of analyses of two samples Of the GUANAHANI
GUANo, one drawn fir NJ an entire sack received
from you, aHd the other from a SAX received
from Messrs a. w. Foster s. Co., your Agent:
at Madison, Ga.
As shown by the anslyse this Guano contains
in good proportion all the elements which are
generally consider as of value for plant TODD,
and the forms and combin atoms in which they
are present are such rs TO render them available
to and sssimable by the plant In its general
character it is similar to Peruvian Guano, but
lacks the excessive proportion of heterogeneous
matter that renders the la ter dangerous TO deal
with. l should judge that the proper use of this
article for purposes of fertilization would be al
tended with great profit.
! have annexed m estimston Of the CONNER
cial value of the Guano, deduced from tho anal
Uses, and based upon the values adopted At th:
laboratory, in the reports recently made to the
State Agricultural Society on the values OF Com
mercial F,'rt lizrrs.

danger; no more than two schools or classes
should 10 any case use the same entrance or
outlet. These are vital principles and should be
Confirmed to 10 all large schools.
4h. The lighting, veutilatiDg, and heating
OF public buildings, are Of primary Importance;
all the class rooms should have windows on
two OF their Sides for light and ventilation. the
sash should be SO constructed that both 4: gbts
could be raised or lowered; there should be air
hues Oh two sides Of the room with registers 10
carry OFT all vitiated and impure air, and at the
same time AVOID a current. As regards heat
Ing, think that furnaces in general have been
found failures, and 10 this climate there are
so many conflicting styles all claiming to be the
best. and most OF them proving worthless, and
which require great skill 10 their management,
so that it is not advisable to recommend them
TOR schools in this latitude; hence I think good
stoves will be found best and most available for
school purposes.
9th. Interior arrangements and accommoda-
ton OF the school room should be simple yet
complete All class rooms should have hat and
cloak rooms conveniently attached thereto, co.,
tlgous to the corridors so that the scholars may
pass through them before entering the school;
these cloak rooms should have glass or wire
| screen partitions 90 the side next to school, SO
that the teacher may have full view Of all that
| occurs 10 them. There should be wash-stands
and appurtainances located either 10 or conven
lent to these cloak room; the teacher should
have private room or closet for his special use
There are other arrangements and appliances Of
minor Dature which enter into the equipments
Of good schools thot will readily suggest them
selves, such as water closets, coal repositories
Libraries, desks, &C.. &c, that need not now be
described, as fear that have already tres
passed TOO much on the readers patience.

The centennial party 10 the House OF Rep
resentatives won decided victory, yesterday,
in the adoption of Judge Kelley's motion to
consider the bill making an appropriation Of
three millions of dollars 90 the 9Th day Of May.
The bill was resisted by members of the COM
mittee of appropriations, on the ground that
it had not taken the usual course and had not
been considered by the Committee on Appro-
priations. That the House by two thirds vote
fixed day for the consideration of the bill to
the exclusion Of all other business is some lndl-
cation that the bill has fair chance of passing,
for after consideration, only majority vote will
be required to pass it.
