In the House there were two debates, the
most interesting being on the bill providing

bill came from majority of the Temperance

she had been a depositor in the

insane. About a month ego Mr..

possibility of her recovery. DR..

That appears very msgnsnimous
in Jay Cooke. In fact it is better
than most of those do who break
with full pocket. But after all
Jay Cooke will be using only the in
sane woman's own money in taking
care of her. While he may in this
way restore her money, he never
can restore her reason, which dooms
her to despair and wretchedness.

UNFAVORABLE OUTLOOK.

A gentleman who has just return
ed from u trip from q grain growing
reg on, and after viewing crops al
home, is impressed with the belle
that next year will be a hard one
upon farmers and other classes of oul
people. The cotton crop will fall
short of being al large as last year
as the stalks have not as many bolls
besides have not yet fOisbed their
growth, and the late bolls will moi
have time to mature. The droutt
has likewise cut short the corn crop
in the South, while the Northwestern
corn crop has suffered to large ex-
tent from the same cause. 1t will
therefore cost more to fatten meat,
and as a consequence we may ex'
pect to see corn and meat go up ia
high figures next year. Aud after
all our farmers will see that corn,
wheat and oats are the crops that
regulate prices, and if the provision
crop runs short they must suffer &C.
cordipgly. In view of this unfavora
BILE outlook, our farmers should put
down an unusually large acreage in
millet, turniPs, rye, oats, &C., and
save all the stock feed possible. -
An economical husbandry of all the
resources of the farm will prove emf
nently wise.

GEORGIA FACTORIES.

Georgia is going ahead rapidly
wirh her cotton factories. She now
has fifty.one in operation within the
boundaries, and seven 10 progress
of erection. All of these are rdb
By water power except one in At
lanta, which is driven by steam.
These factories are scattered all
over the State, many out in the
country where the cotton is grown.
They are all in highly prosperous
condition. The stock of some of the
oldest established are at fabulous
prices. One Of the best concerns
will not let it be known how much
they do make. According to corr
respondent the Eagle and Phenix,
Of Columbus, has paid fifteen per
cent, the Last two years, and appro
priating 81, 100000 to an additional
building and new machinery. The
Langley, of Augusta, has paid three
semi annual dividends Of eight per
cent. There is a new million dollar
factory going up in Augusta and the
stock when above par as soon as
the fret brick was laid. The goods
are all sold as rapidly as msnufac-
tured and, in fact, some of the mills
cannot supply the demand. Daily

A letter to the Albany NeUS and
AdrertiSer, dated Cyrus, Worth
county, Ga, August l6, says =: "a
tragedy occurred here this morning
which resulted in the death of WiI>
liam Dyson at the haods of Jack
Kemp, both coIored. The parties
had had a quarrel on Sunday last,
aud Kemp was heard to express a de
termination to kill Dyson. The
killing took place about three hun>
dred yards from the saw mill of Mr..
w. B. Moss. After shooting Dyson,
Kemp gave chase to another negro
near by, following him to the mill,
and firing at him twice as be ran
Mr.. Mess then made bis appearance.
Seeing there was disturbance, and
not knowing the crime committed
by Kemp, he ordered him to leave
the grounds, whioh he did, forth
with, and has not been seen since.
Dyson his victim, was shot in the
side and neck, and died almost TO-
stantIy."

CRINGING.

Since it appears that Garfield il

New York miIlionaires, Gould, Van

found out that Vice President Ar

man, and a patriot. We al

II. -
10 a speech before the Legisla>
tufe, Hon. Tom Miner, one Of the
committee, that inspected the con-
vict camps of Georgia, said:
II saw white young man in
Dougherty county with a negro on
one side, negro guard on the other,
and a negro guard behind him, and
behind him negro whipping boss.
asked that boy, as my blood grew
warm, Has that man ever whipped
you with that lash z With an eye
A hing with the fire of bis young
man hood, he said Yes, be has /;
and il | ever escape this place I'll
exercise my rights"
So after all the colored convict
has no more to complain Of than the
white convict. But the white man
who would thus degrade and humil~
late one of his own race, is only "6t
for treason, stratsgem and spoils,"
and has a heart as black as Erebus.
Our pride and instincts revolt at
SOCIAL equality" under its most pal
Iiating guise, but bow horrible it
must have been to that young man
to be forced TO practice it by being
chained to q negro, guarded by a
negro and lashed by a negro boss.
We believe in puoishiDg criminals,
but let it be tempered with humanity,
and not to such depth of degrade
ton as 10 crush out all self>respect
and manhood, making reformation
impossible. Under the law recently
passed, we hope the system will be
radically changed and bettered, and
that more humanity and less barr
barism will prevail.
The Constitution OF the State OF
Georgia, Article let, paragraph z,
says:
"Neither Punishment beyond the
limits of the State, nor whipping as
punishment for crime, shall be al
lowed"
This was evidently intended TO
prohibit the establishment of a
"wbipping post" but we can see no
difference in "whipping post" out
side of chain gang, than "wbip
ping boss" inside Of a chain gang,
only the hogging is more frequent
by the latter, than would occur in
the former. The Constitution says
"whippiug shall not be allowed" yet
it is allowed and excused. Isn't Q
clear violation of the spirit of the
law

REGISTRATION LAW HARD, TO
SHAPE

We learn +hsr- the Legislature
is QSzzled to shape registration
law, owing to the fact that our cleo
tions 10 October and January, being
so close and 10 different years,
necessilate two registrations in a
very short time. This would be in
convenient not to say impracticable.
We have advocated a registration
law, because we believe the purity
of the ballot box demanded it, ADD
we dislike for it to come to nought.
How would it do to enact a law to
make the presentation of ones tax
receipt as a prerequisite to voting,
the managers to endorse on the back
of the same the date and place Of
votingf 1t is true this would make
every man preserve bis tax receipt,
bit that is what he should do any
way. If he should lose it, a pro-
vision in the law could require the
tax collector to issue a duplicate re-
ceipt or certificate, and to be so
marked, which would insure him his
right to vote. This would save
opening registration books and prob
ably would answer the purpose just
as we'll. Let every man vote one
time at an election, provided he has
complied with the law by paying bis
taxes for the year previous, and not
otherwise. Honest voting is what
the people want, whether it is de-
sired by dishonest politicians or not
