Georgia Legislature.

Over four hundred bills left over at
the last term are on file for the July SEES
sion, and to these must be added large
number of new ones, as a matter of
course. Some of the State journals are
already cutting out new work and pre-
pairing big debates on matters of public
interest. prominent among which appears
the convict labor system, the lunatic
asylum enlargement, the emigration
question, and, by no means last or least,
the exceedingly knotty question of the
Railroad Commission. 1t seems that our
legislators will have their hands full for
the hot days of July and August, and it
may not be amiss to caution them upon
the advantage of keeping cool, especially
when they tackle the last named ques-
ton, thought to be already sglow with
the fire and zeal of dispute.

WasteruI Methods in the South.

A talk with Mr.. Edward Atkinson, in
the New York Tribune, says there is half
as much capital invested in cotton GIN
ming and pressing as IN all the factories
in the United States for spinning and
weaving. and yet, it is stated. that in
respect to power of machinery half is
wasted; in respect to labor double the
hands necessary are employed; and in
respect to results nine bales in every ten
are deprecated ten per cent. after being
picked in the field, before delivery at the
factory, by the wasteful, shiftless, dirty,
barbarous manner in which the staple is
treated.
All this and much more was collated
into the Tribune, not for the purpose of
instructing and encouraging Southern
manufactures, but rather to convince the
Northern cotton manufacturers that they
have nothing to fear from people so
slothful and void of economic enter
prise; that our want of shrewdness, me-
chanical skill, enterprise and judgment
in handling cotton render the idea Chi
merical of our ever seriously competing
with Northern manufacturers.

SECULAR VS.. THE RELIGIOUS PRESS. -
The Philadelphia EUening Nel0s reads
the New York Christian AdgOcGte lee
ture on charity and federation for the
appearance of a two column defense of
Mr.. Seney, the eminent Emory College
patron, against rather low fling at the
motives of that gentleman by the At
lanta (Ga.) Ad0ocate. 1t seems that if a
man does not give he is roundly abused
as a selfish old miser, or other bad
character; and if he does give, his
motives are suspected and his character
traduced, so that it requires a man of
pure motives and high moral courage in
these days to set out and deliberately
perpetrate good deed.

odious to Blaine, of Maine. He ever

An ACQUISITION To THE STRIKERS
The New York livery stable keepers,
according to the Times, have solemnly
resolved to attend no more funerals at
present prices. A cooperative union,
covering the entire city, is to be organ
lied during the week. in which the sub
associations already in being shall be
merged. The rate of advance agreed
upon is about 20 per cent. over the
average prices heretofore prevailing.
The liverymen are confident of making
the strike for higher prices success,
leading one putting it on the ground
that "a funeral is one of those things
that cannot be postponed long enough
to advertise for competing bids"

The central RaiIrOad Dividend.


The intense excitement which has pre-
vailed in this and other cities in Georgia
for some time past concerning the move
ments in Central Railroad affairs culmi-
mated yesterday with the declare
ton bv the Board of Direc-
tors of cash dividend of 4
per cent, and a debenture of 40 per
cent for Central stockholders. The
Southwestern, one of the leased lines of
this great corporation, received corres-
ponding benefit in 80 per cent. deben-
ture and 81 per cent. cash dividend, the
terms of the lease emitting it to pro rata
dividends.
This action of the directors, though
confidently predicted during the past
few days in certain circles, nevertheless
occasioned considerable surprise, and
the present lucky holders of the stock
could scarcely repress their exultstion
over the result There has pro-
badly not in the annals OF
Southern railroads been recorded
the declaration of such dividend. The
reasons impelling the directory to this
course are very succinctly set forth in a
carefully prepared series of preambles
aud resolutions, which will be found in
our local column, wherein it is stated
that the amount justifying this distribu-
ton has been earned by the road since
1877, and is due to the unexampled pros
perity of the country and the economi-
cal management of the affairs of the
company.
During the intervening years between
1872 and 1881 the company fell short 81
per cent. of paying to the stockholders
the regular dividend of per cent, and
the amount to be paid out in certifi-
Gates, now that the assets justify it, is
regarded by the directory as simply re-
turning them the money then withheld
for the general benefit of the stockhold
ers.
Lately the stock has been prominent
among speculative securities in the mar
ket, and large sums of money
have been made by those who
have operated in it, confident that
it would eventually prove the bonanza
events have demonstrated. The greater
satisfaction, however, will be to those
stockholders who held to their stock
during the years when there were no
dividends, and when Central was quoted
nominal in the market.

THE PANIC IN RUssIA.-The letters
from st. Petersburg which are published
in the London journals show most vivid
ly that the execution of the late En-
perOr's assassins has not diminished ths
state of panic which the murder oc-
casioned. The present Emperor. though
a strong muscled and apparently a strong
nerved man, is suffering from the con-
tagiOn of his wife's apprehensions, if
not from his own fears. In leaving st.
Petersburg for CATCHING recently, four
Imperial trains running in different
directions were made ready, and it was
not until the very last moment that it
was known where he was going. He is
kept as closely guarded at his retreat as
at his palace in the capital.

The balloting yesterday at Albany
does not look very propitious for my
Lord Roscoe. His chances for re-elec-
ton seem to be hopeless. His friends
may be able to keep up deadlock for
a short time, but if that should turn out
no better for them and mis- faction than
the deadlock in Washington, from which
he recently skunk in utter discontinue,
the experiment would seem to be hardly
worth repeating.

International Sunday School Con-


We learn through circular from MIR.
N. A. Gambler, Chairman, at Atlanta,
that the third international Sunday
School Convention will be held at
Toronto, Canada, June 22d and 23d,
1881, and that excursion tickets will be
sold in Atlanta for $50 20, good to re-
turn within thirty days. 1t is proposed
for the party to leave Atlanta Thursday
night, June 18th, by limited express, on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, in spe-
cial Pullman cars, and after daylight
ride over the Cincinnati Southern. arrive
in Cincinnati at eco p. m. Friday. Leave
that city at 9:15 p. m, arrive in Cleve-
land to breakfast Saturday; thence in
parlor cars along Lake Erie, arriving in
Buffalo to dinner at 20 p. m, and at
Niagara Falls o'clock Saturday after
noon. in time to connect with the mag
niicent steamer for Toronto, arriving
there at : o'clock p. m.
The circular we'll says the trip prom
ises to be one Of the most pleasant ever
projected. The route lies through the
most picturesque, beautiful and pop
ulous sections Of the Union. eliminating
in the centre Of wealth and fashion in
the Canadas, and permits the enjoyment
of the great lakes, and the worlds won
der, Niagara
Return tickets will be good on any
train within thirty days from date OF
purchase, with privilege of stopping at
any point named on coupons. Governor
ColOuitt and Chief Justice Jackson
viii accompany the party. and the for
mer preside over the convention.
A large number Of delegates have been
appointed for Georgia, most of whom
will join the excursion. and many other
distinguished persons in this and other
States are expected to swell the number.
The liberality of the railroads in offering
such advantageous terms ought to be
appreciated, and, we have no doubt,
will be.
Parties desiring to avail themselves of
this delightful trip should notify Mr.. w.
B. Wrenn, the General Passenger Agent
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, in
Atlanta, Ca, as early as possible. so that
ample sleeping car arrangements can be
made.

The New York CburchmGH, which is
supposed to voice the sentiment of the
average Episcopalian, gives the cold
shoulder to the new version. "As TO
the language" 1t says. the first impress
sions are not favorable. The Immediate
effect is, of course, produced by the i'll
and discordant tone of the new render
ings, as cOntrasted with the familiar
rhythmical beauty of the noblest classic
Of the English tongue. 1t would, in
deed, be pity if both taste and feeling
did not at first revolt against the jar, the
harsh discord of the new readings. !"
Again: cone must needs be
quite the reverse of familiar with the
English Bible if the sacrifice of its archaic
beauty TO mere pedantries of grammar
does not shock his sensibilities.

GERMANY's Loss.-Most of the Ger
man emigrants are between twenty-five
and forty years Of age-the most useful
part of life-a large majority of them
are men, leaving a great surplus of wo-
men in Germany. They we're educated
at the expense of government, and many
of them leave without returning the
money. In the last decade, it is stated
that enough able bodied men have left
Germany to form three grand army corps.

Roscoe Conkling will have the proud
satisfaction of rejecting that he is the
author of the division in the Republican
party. His influence has drawn Grant
into it, and Grant will pull the entire
stalwart division in. 1t will be war to

servatives may be said now to be sepa-
rate party. Garfield has shown more
pluck in meeting the emergency than we
gave him credit for possessing. The re-

Where the Southern Farmers Money
G0nS

Goes.
At the meeting of the Mississippi Val.
ley Cotton Planters Association in Mem
phis last week there were some interest
ing and suggestive statements made by
some of the speakers. Mr.. F. G. More
head. President of the association, esti-
mated the amount of grain consumed in
the cotton States in excess of production
to be as follows:
Wheat bushels. .................. -. AZ 252,244
Corn, bushels -..........--.-.. .- lot, oo4, ~
Oats, bushels. ............-.......... V,1o2, lCo
Total bushels of grain 1880. PSI, SOS. 5s1
IONS OF nay....--... .......-..+... 4,UAI,lOO
This enormous amount of grain is
paid for out of the cotton crop, as those
States produce little else for sale. AS
the cotton crop of even such year as
last only reaches fraction above 6, 000,-
600 bales, worth in round numbers about
fifty dollars per bale, it will be seen at
q glance where the most of the money
realized from it must go. Such def
cheney of grain. Mr. Morehead remarked,
meant nothing but the direst poverty
so long as it exists" While the speaker
no doubt overestimated the deficiency
of grain in the South, he Swallowed
forth a great truth which merits the
closest consideration of Southern farm
ers and planters.
