A. R. Calhoun,
Proprietor.
Georoe Lauar, who died on the 28th of
November, in Monroe county, Pa., waa
probably the last living man who voted
for George Washington for President.
He was born in 1783, and was conse
quently in the 112th year of bis age when
he died. He was hale and hearty and
preserved his mental faculties to the last.
Great are the mysteries of statutory
law, or of the pleadings that govern its
application. We aro now informed that
Harrington and Whitely cannot again be
tried for complicity in the “safe bur
glary," because the indictment against
them was found by a grand jury about
whose selection there was some sort of
informality. The “informality" of their
proceedings in reference to the safe bur-
glary thus escapes punishment.
The Board of Commissioners of Louis
iana nearly completed tlio counting of tho
returns of the Htato election on Tuesday.
Only uiue parishes remained to be can
vassed when the Hoard adjourned that
evening, and it .was thought that the
count would bo completed on Wednesday.
Hut the Picayune thought that the Board
would then take time to mature their
plans. The parishes remaining to bo
canvassed are all Conservative, and if no
trickery or usurpation is practiced by the
Board, the result will he a Conservative
victory as complete as has been hereto
fore reported.
A reporter of the Augusta Chronicle
has “interviewed" Gov. Smith, and states
tho Governor's views ou several important
subjects that will probably come before
the next Legislature. According to this
report, Gov. Smith is opposed to the rec
ognition of any part of the bonds pro-
nouuoed fraudulent by the last Legisla
ture. lie thinks that it would be safer to
have the bond question settled by a Con
stitutional Convention, but believes that
tho new Legislature has tho power to per
fect aud pass (he bungling amendment
proposed by tho last Legislature. The
Governor thinks that the State has not a
sufficiency of producoiH, desires whitQ im
migration, deplores negro emigration,
aud is in favor of a stricter vagrant law.
The Savannah papors notice the re
port of the President aud Board of Direc
tors of the Central Uailroad Company,
made to the stockholders. It embraces a
period of uine months, ending on the 1st
of September last. President Wadley re
ports gross receipts ^‘2,101,107 8‘J, expen
ses of operating $1,520,801 01—leaviug a
balance of $571,245 80. We are not in
formed whether this surplus was sufficient
to pay the liabilities of the company for
interest on bond, Ac. Hut tho report
speaks tersely of intensified competition,
short crops, financial embarrassments,
and “bad faith in not maintaining rates
agreed upon," and adds “from this the
Hoard can see no immediate hope of re
lief." The steamship line earned $121,-
888. It in proposed to sell two of the old
ships aud build two new ones. The Adver-
User shows that the reports about the Direo-
tora selling their stock in tho road are not
true, an they own more aharen now than
they did in 1873.
Alabama Legislature.
W'ednesday % l .)th.—The Senate passed
the bill to precept the sale of agricultural
products betw«m sunrise aud sunset
also the bill to repeal the act to prevent
murder, lynching, Ac. (known as the Ku-
Klux act, making tho counties rospousi-
ble) ; also a bill authori/.iug Chancellors
to make women free dealers, aud to
thorize them to mortgago their property;
also the hill fixing tho salary of Commis
sioner of Industrial Resources at $500
also a joint resolution extending the ses
sion beyond thirty days—yens 25, nays 4.
The hill to provide for taking the census
in 1875 was reforrod to special committee,
The bill to amend section 4,031 of the
Code, bo as to provide for holdiug County
Courts every throe mouths, was indefi
nitely postponed. Gov. Houston sent a
special mossage to tho Legislature direct
ing attention to the complications of tho
Alabama and Chattauooga* Railroad, urg
ing an effort to protect the lights of tho
State and maintain its lieu on the road,
advising that the State decline to become
a party to any suit in the Federal Courts
affecting the road, Ac. The message was
referred to a joint committee.
The House adopted the Souate's resolu
tion for a joiut committee to divide the
State into eight Congressioual Districts.
A number of new bills were introduced
in the House, and referred. The House
passed the Senate’s resolution to exteud
the session beyond thirty days. The vote
of the House on this question stood,
yeas G8, uays 27. Mo»t of the Republi
cans voted against the resolution, aud all
Ihe Democrat* for it.
The two Houses, in joint convention,
elected Mr. W. W. Screws, of the Adver -
tiger, State Printer. The vote stood —
Sorews 85, Bingham 38, Baffold of
Be Una 4.
These are the two fvomineat topics of
the message ; at least the two moat inter
esting to this section. Tho President is
strong in his convictloB that all the inter
ests of the country demand a speedy re
turn to npecie payments ; a proposition
about which, wa presume, there will be
bnt little difference of opinion. He wants
the present Congress to fix.a day for re
sumption, intimating that he does not
think it can be a very early day. [A re
port of a conversation with him says that
ho does not Ihink redemption can be
reached as early as 187G.] Rut tho mes
sage is notably wanting 1q the recom
mendation of any financial scheme by
which the Government can prepare for
resumption even within two or three years
to come. The President says, it is trite, 4
that the revenues must considerably ex
ceed the expenditures before this end can
he reached, and he suggests the
raising of a larger tevemie from the
tariff on imposts. This is, however,
not a resort likely to be popular
with the people at this time, par
ticularly when the intimation is made
that the higher duties on tea and coffee
ought to be restored, and that to make up
for loss of revenue by the proposed redac
tion of the dutes on such articles as the
manufacturers consume, tho commodities
which the people have to obtain from for
eign countries ought to be taxed higher.
The people generally who consume for
eign products would prefer to have a di
rect benefit by the reduction of the duty
on those imported (Commodities which
they have to use, rather than an indirect
benefit by the lessening of the duties ou
articles which the manufacturers have to
use, such as wool, leather, dye-stuffs, Ao.
Tho tariff is onerous now, and tho party
dinging to a brief tenure of power in
CougretM will hardly risk the experiment
of uiakiug it higher.
The Government is not prepared for
specie payments now—that is admitted.
It has not, apparently, made any progress
in proparatiou for the last eight years, un
less a slight reduction of the bonded debt
is a remote sort of preparation. The volume
of the.curreney is as great as it was years
ago, and the receipts of gold aud silver
coin in the Troasury are no lurger now
thau they were then. Tho work of pre
paration has not commenced, and we do
not see any practicable way of commenc
ing it while tho coin receipts of the Treas
ury are all paid out in the way of interest
to the bondholders or in tbe purchase of
bonds. Tho Government now partially
dishonors its own paper by refusing to
tuko it for impost duties, and now tho
President proposes that before the day set
for redemption the provision making tbe
currency a legal teudor must be repealed.
We are uuable to see bow this step is go
ing to appreciate tbe currency or prepare
the way for redemption. Will it not in
crease the demand for coiu ?
'1 ko President suggests that the Secre
tary should have power to obtain gold as
it may become necessary from time to
time—evidently meaning by the sale of
more Government bonds, and to be con
sistent it must bo added by the sule of
more bonds bearing gold interest. Is
this a safe proceedihg by which to pre-
pure tho way for spooio payments ? Is
not the great amount of Government gold
interest bonds already out one of the
chief obstacles to resumption? Gan we
ever hope for a sustained resumption of
specie payments while the Government
increases its bonded debt ?
lint the President’s scheme of prepara
tion for redemption—if we may couclude
that he has one from the hints and inti
mations in the message—does not inelude
tho National Banks. What is to become
of their currency—now half of tbe circu
lating medium of the country—if the Gov
ernment gets possession of all the gold
aud then redeems?—if the Government
continues to sell bonds for gold in order
to obtain enough to redeem its own is
sues ? Clearly the notes of the National
Banks must still further depreciate; and
what kind of relief to the country would
result from a policy like this ? As to the
vast volume of curreuoy issued by the
National Banks, it is appareut that Gen.
Grant is In a similar mood to that of
Toombs’ countryman—he is “agin re
demption."
To fix a day of redemption and then
make no adequate preparation for it,
would be trifling with this great question
nud with the interest of the pooplo of tho
Uuion. It may serve to “tide" the Re
publican party over tho next Presidential
election; but a victory woo by such de
ception would l>e followed by wide-spread
disaster, general panic, depression, and
vory likely repudiation.
On the subject of Southern outrages,
the President is a little thtburiis t though he.
strongly inclines to a continuation of the
policy of governing tho Southern States
from Washington. Ho thinks it likely
that thero has been exaggeration on both
sides in respect to reported “outrages” in
tbe South—on the part of the Republi
cans in misrepresenting their number aud
extent, aud on tho part of the Democrats
in denying the reports altogether. There
has been a test of this matter, and ao far
its results have boon altogether confirma
tory of the denials made by the Democrats
of the South Hundreds of white men
have this year becnarrcsted in the South
on Kudical charges of “outrages,” intimi
dation, Ac., for political purposes. Every
ouo of them has been carried before Fed
eral judicial officers, differing from
them in politics, for trial or
examination. Now, how many
of them have been convicted ?i Can half a
dozen be named ? Most of thorn have
beeu discharged on preliminary examina
tion ; others held under bond on very fee
ble presumption of possible guilt. But
uoue that we can name have been convict
ed, or are at all likely to bo convicted;
and this notwithstanding the fact that the
Enforcement set turn* almost every pre
sumption against the accused, literally
holds him to be guilty uutil he establishes
bis innooenoe by proof positive. The
President ought tc know that) the reports
of Southern political outrage^ represent
ing the white meu of tbe 8ou|h to he the
guilty parties, are in nearly all oaeee
false, end will so be pronounced by tbe i assembled in Opelika on Wednesday.

were made. Conference resolved to take
up tbe proposed amendment of the Dis
cipline in reference to intoxicating liquor
on Monday, and to vote on it without de
bate. Disciplinary business was then
taken np.
—Says the EufAula Time* of Tuesday
The United States Deputy Marshal made
fifteen arictits abSpring Hill on Saturday
last. The parties appeared before Special
Commissioner Looke, and gave bonds in
sums of ten and eleven thousand dollars.
Tbeir names are: J. F. Comer, J. W.
Comer, B. B. Comer—each in the sum of
$11,800; Thos. Swanson, W. F. Crane,
Dr. J. B. Pouocy, James Long, Benj.
Long, J. B. Mallory, Nathan Smith, D.
H. Bishop, Bobb Diggs, colored, and
Messrs. Townsend and Shelby, all gave
bond in the sum of $10,800 each.
Llttell*e Llvlnf Age for 1876,
After its successful career of over thirty
years The Living Age seems more rigor
ous anil prosperous than ever before.
Always the chief, it is now (since its ab
sorption of “Every Saturday") the only
eclectic weekly of the country. What
distinguishes it is the fact that it presents
inexpensively, considering its three and a
quarter thousand large payee of reading
matter a year, with freshness, owing to
the frequency of ite issue, and with a sat
isfactory completeness attempted by no
other publication whatever, the ablest
essays and reviews, the best serial and
short stories, tbe finest sketches and
poems, and the most valuable biographi
cal, historical, scisntiflo and political in
formation from the entire body of foreign
periodical literature.
It is therefore invaluable to American
readers as the ouly thorough as well aa
frer.li compilation of a get erally inacces
sible but indispensable current literature;
generally inaccessible because of its great
bulk and ost; indispensable because it
embraces tbe productions qt the ablest
living writers in science, fiction, poetry,
history, biography, politics, theology,
philosophy, criticism and art.
Represented in its pages are such dis
tinguished authors as Prof. Max Mailer,
Prof. Tyndall, Dr. W. B. Carpenter, Hon.
W. E. Gladstone, Prof. Hnxley, Frances
Power Cobbe, Richard A. Proctor, Mat
thew' Arnold, the Duke of Argyll, CharleB
Kingsley, Arthur Helps, James Anthony
Fronde, Mrs. Muloch, Anthony Trollope,
Mrs. Oliphant, Miss Thackeray, William
Black, George MacDonald, Jean Ingelow,
Erckuiaun-Chatrian, Ivon Turguenieff,
Tennyson, Browning, and many others.
During the coming year it promises,be
sides the best serial and short stories of
the leading foreign authors, the usual
amount, unapproached by any other peri
odical, of tbe most important literary and
scientific matter of tho day,from the pens
of the above named aud many other
ablest living contributors to current liter
ature.
Inthe multiplicity of quarterlies,month
lies and weeklies, 7Lining Age is an
invaluable economizer of time, labor and
money. It is prononneed “the best of
the eclectics," and, all things considered,
the cheapest; and has become almost a
necessity to every person or family desir
ing a satisfactory compendium of the
noteworthy in the literary world. In no
other knowu way, certainly, can so much
of the best work of the best minds of the
age bo obtained so convenienentiy, or
with so little money, as through this most
comprehensive of periodicals.
The subscription price is $8 a year,
which is cheap for tho amount of reading
furnished; or for those desiring the cream
of both home and foreign literature, the
publishers make a still cheaper offer, viz:
lo send (postage prepaid on both periodi
cals) The Living Age and either one of
the Ameiioan $4 monthlies, or weeklies,
a year for $10 50. With The Living Age
and one or other of our leadiog American
monthlies, a subscriber will, at remarka
bly small cost, bo in possession of the
best which the current literature of the
world affords.
The volume begins Jan. 1st. aud to new
subscribers, remitting now, the publishers
(Little A Gay, Boston,) offer to send the
intervening numbers grafts.
