SHAMEFUL.

Col. John Jones, ex>Treasury of
Georgia, was indicted last Monday
by Fulton county grand jury, for
Withholding public money, and he
was arrested Tuesday morning, his
bond being placed at $4,000. Yes
terday's Atlanta Constitution stated
that Col. Jones had not perfected
his bond, but doubtless would that
morning When it is remembered
with what alacrity Blodgett, the
State Road thief, secured "Atlanta
citizens" to 60 on his bond, and how
quick the fugitive Bullock had cat
lanta citizens" to 60 on his bord,
while he expressed himself as being
able to get two pages of names 1t
necessary then to see with what
difficulty the venerable old Georgian
John Jones, who never fed bis State
as a thief, sadly and sorely expert
euces in perfecting his bond, is such
sickening contrast, that the "two
thousand endorsers" of KimbaIl
should hang their heads in shame q!

pared with that of last year. More
attention has been given to hogs, but
the ravages of cholera during last
year reduced the stock in some sec
tons of the State.
Condition of cattle compared to
that Of the same date last year is
eleven per cent better. The condi-
ton of work stock is two per cent.
better than last year.
FERTILIZERS.
Twelve per cent. more fertilizers
have been purchased this season
than last. Only fourteen per cent.
of these were bought for cash -eigh-
ty>six per cent being purchased on
time, principally for "cotton option, F."
payable in cotton at fifteen cents
next November Forty >three per
cent. of these were cOmposted with
home manures.
LABOR, ETC.
The average wages paid men tor
the year is 500 and board. Labor
ers are reported as hiring twelve per
cent. more willingly than usual, and
as being seven per cent. more eff
cient.
Eighty per cent. report that farm
ers have contracted their expenses
are practicing close economy, and
buying less than usual at credit pri'
ces. Many report this necessity
since credit is not to be had at all.
Ninety per cent. Of the correspon
dents report the prevalent existence
of determination on the part o
farmers to make their supplies a
home. If this determination is fully
realized in the harvest of this year
it will be the beginning of a new err
of agricultural prosperity in GU
State, which has been so scourged
first by fire and sword, and since BY
the folly of our people in following
the igniS Jataus of exclusive cottol
production.

A SURPRISE.

WHILE preacher was a guest OF
gentleman in Covington, a crowd
of young people assembled to have a
surprise and dance, unconscious of
the presence of a divine. The la
dies and gentlemen were seated in
the parlor, while the three fdders
stood in a corner ready to break
loose with their music. Suddenly
the preacher entered the room with
a Bible in his hand, he read chaps
ter, prayed, and preached the young
people sermon and dismissed them.
1t was a surprise, and the crowd got
away quick, while 81 Hawkins and
the fddlers think that Moody could
not have done as well.

HUMAN VAMPIRES.

Persons in New York, who have
been drinking blood of cattle as a
remedy for diseases, have not only
been improved in health, but have
acquired such thirst for blood that
they drink human blood with ire,
sistible relish. One gentleman open
ed a vein in his leg for his wife to
drink his blood. Her demands were
so frequent, that he became disgust
ed and abandoned her, while she
became a mon0maniac.

STILL FOR BAYARD.

TIE editor OF the Athens Walsh
man says I've ara still for Bay
ard, and expect to remain so unless
the convention shall nominate some
other man. In case Tilden should
be nominated we shall feel bound to
support him, bat we hope and be-
lieve he will not be nominated. He
Is certainly weaker in the South than
any man named for the place. In
addition to being a New York polN
itician, our people believe that he
and his friends defeated old Bill AL
len for Governor OF Ohio, for the
express purpose Of putting Tilden
forward for the Presidency"

BIG STEAL.

A Washington special says: The
sub committee on expenditures in
the Treasury Department, investi
eating the bureau of captured and
abandoned property, is of the oPin'
ion that Secretary Bristow's course
has been entirely correct, but the
procedure of bis predecessors, Rich
ardson, Boutwell, and McCulloch,
especially under the administration
of the latter, the committee finds an
inexhaustiblo fund of evidence of the
most startling character. Thus far
is an unexplained deficit of over six
millions dollars. Sixtv>seven thou~
sand dollars is charged against S. II.
Kaufman, who was at that time the
clerk in charge of the attorneys ac-
counts, and he will be called upon to
explain what he did with the money.

BRAZlL.--The territorial extent OF
Brazil, over which Dom Pedro
reigns, exceeds that of the United
States, though its population is only
ten millions. OF this population,
from one>quarter to one>thlrd Is
white. Less than a million are
slaves, and provision has been made
for gradual emancipation. When
inquiries were made of the Emperor
on this subject he said that he de-
sired to bring about emancipation in
such manner as would not intlict
injury upon either race. No per
son born after September IS, 1871
can be held as a slave. Public edu-
cation is promoted the public debt
is $500, 900, 900; the cost of gov
ernment is only S4l,000,000; the
revenues in excess of expenditures.
The exports of Brazil to this country
are said to be three OF foGr times as
much as she imports from Us. She
sells her hides, horns and Rio coffee
here, and buys her cotton goods and
manufactured ware in England.

A HEARTLEsS BRUTE.

la New Orleans on last Tuesday
evening the nsighborhood of the
corner of Laurel and Josephine
streets was aroused by the cries of a
woman, eman ating from the house
of one Mr.. Alexander Givens, re-
siding at the above mentioned cor
ner. Upon entering the house the
neighbors found Mrs. Owens pros
trate upon the floor with deep cut
over her left eye, and her infant
child, about one year and half old,
was lying near by in almost insensi-
ble condition, arising from injuries
sustained internally and various con
tu8iops on the head. Upon inquiry
it was ascertained that the man Civ
ems had entered his domicile in
state of intuxication, and in his
drunken frenzy, without any canse
or provocation, seized his infant,
and, raising it above the head, had

THE RACE.

THE gubernatorial nags, says the
Gainesville Southron, are all still on
the track, full of life and animation.
Nobody is behind as yet. They are
all at the quartor-post, neck and
neck. They will probably continue
thus to the half mile stake here
their friends will sponge their nos
trils, rub down their legs, and pre-
pare them for the home stretch
There is likely to be some right
lively scuiiling on the last quarter.
We shall be prepared about the
time they make the start on the last
half mile to make our bet on the
winner 10 the race, and it may be
neither one of the four nags in the
field ; although we should not feel
bad if they made a dead beat>hest
or all won. They are right good
nags, all of them.

THE last two Democratic candid
ates for the Presidency came from
New York, and it has not been
forgotten what an inglorious defeat
was the result, says the Newman
Blade. We hardly think Tilden,
even though he were not a citizen of
New York, is the man for the times.
His advocacy by the New York
Tribune is enough to convince us of
this fact.
