After going to proa* Monday night the
programme wax changed for the matinee,
the “Pearl of Savoy” being enbetitntnd,
after oonaultation, for “Fanchon." We
are glad to see the internet taken in thla
matter by the ladiea and gentlemen of
Miaa Putnam* troupe. They have won our
admiration not only by their abilities bnt
generooity.
REREMRRR.
Beat in mind the Matinee thia after,
noon, for the bereaved family of the dead
Marahal, and fill the house to overflowing.
Bring out the little onea, and if for any
reason you or they oannot come, aeonre a
tickat, but do not give it away, tear it np
if you oannot uae it.
We hear with plea*ure that a number
of our moat liberal and warm hearted oiti-
aena have atarted a contribution tor Mr.
Murphy'a family. One of thaae gentle,
men headed the list on Monday with ono
hundred dollara. May he never know
what it is to want one.
It will inoreaae the deep aympathy in
the hearts of all to learn that Boon there
will be heard in the house of the dead
man a little stranger's voioe, come from
the land to whioh the fatbtr has gone.
Ooe thing can be said to the oredit of
our people: no appeal was ever made in
vain to them for a deserving object, and
on this occasion they will more than sus
tain their high reputation for generosity.

All the materials for the erection of
the Confederate Monument in Atlanta ar
rived at the wharves of that oily on Fri-
day evening last, on the British schooner
Mary Lonise.
Atlantan colored employe of the Atlanta
Postotflce has been arrested on a charge
of robbing the mail. His name is Robert
Johnson, and he was a distributor in the
newspaper department. Decoy letters
were used effectually in his detection.
Columbus C. Linam, a section master
on the Air-Line Railroad, was fatally in
jured in Atlanta on Sunday night, being
caught between two cars, one of whiob
be was pushing out of the way of the
other, which was backing towards him.
Kuo Kalaxaua has, it is said, an in-
oome of 832,600 per annum. This is de
rived from a tax of 6 eeuts on avery 8100
worth of property, 81 on every horse, and
85 for every carriage owned and ruu in
bis dominions.
Tnx Supreme Court of Ohio has deoi-
ded that it is unlawful to dun a debtor by
a postal oard, as thia open proceeding is
calculated to iujuro the oredit or reputa
tion of the debtor. Who oan say that law
is not considerate in this respect P
Am amendment of the constitution of
Missouri will prevent any addition to
number of voters who cannot read and
write after the 1st of January, 18741; but
it will not then deprive any one who has
voted up to that time of the privilege.
There is no doubt that this amendment
will be benefloial to Missouri in the end,
though it may for a time oause the defeat
of some of its active supporters.
HAVER AMD THE PBACTIONAf.
CURRENCY.
President Orant recommended, and the
Senate in its Financial bill has approved,
the calling in and retirement of the forty
millions of fractional cumncy new out, by
tb« substitution for It of eiHsr win yet
to be stamped. Of ail tba incongruities
of th* Administration scheme of resump
tion, thia is perhaps the moat easily demon
strable. It is, of course, easy to call in
the fractional currency in thia way when
the Government has the silver—noth
ing easier. But getting tbe ail.
ver into general circulation for
“change” after it has been thus paid
out by the Government, is the impracti
cable pert of the nioe little arrangement
Why doe* not gold now circulate as the
currency of the oountry? Mainly be
cause a depreciated ourreney, more abun
dant than the gold coin in the country,
answers th* purposes of oommeroe and is
mad* a legal tender in the payment of
debts. For the very same reason, silver
coin in general circulation is scarce, and
so it will remain until the
great volume of the ourreney
appreciates to par value with
ooin. We find that silver is now quoted
at 4 to 6 per oent. above greenbacks.
Does any man believe that, so long aa this
difference in value exists, the recipient of
silver coin from the Government will pey
it out for hia debts or in the way of trade?
Will the man who owes his neighbor 850,
or 8100,and who receives from tbsGovern-
rnant that amount in silver, pay the coin
over to hia creditor at par, when he oan
take it to the broker and make 83 or 80
by the exchange ? The proposition is too
unreasonable to require argument. The
silver will be retired as fast as issued
by the Government, and will be
kept out of circulation until paper money
becomes as valuable as silver.
As a scheme for depriving the country
of small change, this redemption of the
fractional currency in advanoe of the ap
preciation of the great volume of the cur
rency to par value might answer, if ther*
ware legal penalties of sufficient severity
against the issue of “shinplasters” or
obauge bills by individuals or corpora
tions. But trade would demand and th*
people would have suob change
bills, end the oonsequence would
be that the oountry would be flooded
with looal shinplasters, all worthless
beyond a limited range of circulation.
This would be improving the currency
“with a vengeance.” It would be the
cause of loss and vexation in oomperison
with which the present depreciation ef
the general fractional currency is a griev
ance scaroely worthy of mention.
Specie resumption and specie circula
tion cannot be reached by any process
short of th* simultaneous appreciation of
all the greenback currency. The Gov
ernment must honor its own paper—must
eease to refuse it in payment of dues to
the Treasury—before it can expect it to
reaoh par. Under the laws now in force, it
irsuea paper money and compels the peo
ple to receive it at par in tbe payment of
debts, but when it is tendered to the Gov
ernment to pay impost duties, it is refused.
These duties must be paid in gold to en
able th* Government to pay the favored
bondholders. Fraetioally it makes one
aurrency for the Government and the
bondholder, and another and a deprecia
ted ourreney for the people. Thus far it
has gone and may continue to go, bnt so
long as this discrimination exists it i* idle
to expeot that the Government paper
mousy, which will pay only a portion of
the indebtedness of the citizen, will appro-
oiate in value to par with ooin, whioh will
pay all of his liabilities.
A Mystery ef Vlekatar*.
The Vicksburg correspondent of th*
Naw York Timet states that one remarka
ble circumsta*** ia «MM*otlon with th*
recent fight th*r*Te that no one seems to
hav* been wounded, and that not ooe ne
gro out of prison will acknowledge having
bean ragaged ih the disturbance*. He
adds: “How many war* killed is a quo*,
tton which no one seems prepared to an.
awer definitely. A Republican office-holder
tells me that not leas than two hundred
were shot. Owens, who commanded tbe
largest company of negroes, says' that he
is sure that not more than thirty were
killed. A number of white men who
were in the fight, and in a position to see
everything that occurred, state positively
that not l*a* than fifty Ssgrosa fell.
Where these men were buried is a mys
tery, And how they were conveyed from the
battle-field no one seems to know. I was
oareful to visit many of th* eabios near
Vicksburg, bnt was unabl* to find a
wounded negro, or a household which had
lost one of ita members. The colored
people go about their usual avocations as
if nothing unusnal had happened, and aa
if they bad sustained no loss. The whites
have gone into mourning for their dead,
bnt th* negroes continue to laugh, talk,
dauce and sing aa if they had never
known trouble of any kind.”
ALABAMA OCTBAeTT ■HHIEKERS
AT WAAMtBHTM.
WHAT XIXIAI AMD BOB HKID SAX.
Special to th* New York Tribune.]
WiSHlMOToM, December 24.—Tbe Ala
bama “Outrage" Committee held its first
meeting in this oily thia morning, and
examined ex-Judge Kiels of Eufauia and
tbe notorious “Bob” Reid of Bumler
county. The former had no peraonal
knowledge of any intimidation before the
election. He believed that there had
been a disturbance iu the streets on the
day that th* Republicans held their Coun
ty Convention, but be did not see it. Oa
the day of eleotion he was at one of the
preoinots in bis county when a riot oc
curred. The lights were put out and tbe
ballot box deatioyed. During the melee
Keils and his son wer* under tbe table,
and some pistol shots were fired, oue of
which killed bis son. He did not testify
aa to the origin of the disturbance.
When asked if white Republicans were
ostraoised in Alabama, he at first replied
that they were; but afterward admitted
that this was only when they were promi
nent politicians. When the people of
the oountry understand fully what kind
of men tbe average white Radical politi
cians of Alabama are, they will agree that
they would ba ostracised from deoent so
ciety anywhere. Judge Keils testified
that the Republican* of this county feared
they would be molested at tbeir meetings,
and agreed to attend them armed, and to
fight if necessary. It does not seem to
have been necessary at any time during
the oanvass.
Bob Reid was tbe leader of a negro
band or club of five hundred men which
bud its headquarters near Belmont, Bum-
tar county. He admitted today that
such a club existed, end gave a very high
ly colored description of attacks that had
been made upon its members. His
whole Btory was of tbe same character as
Hay's letter to to Gen. Hawley, and will
be found to dwindle like tbe three black
crows when the Committee reaohes Bum-
tor county and call the witnesaea on both
sides.
DAILY
Thb Opelika Observer reports th* arri
val in ita oity on Monday of the Congres
sional eommitta* sent to invsstigsta po
litical matters in Alabama. A number of
witnesses wars examined, and others ware
around awaiting examination. Tha Ob
server thinks from the oolor of their akin*
that tbe committee will he enabled to
make np auy kind of a report. The com
mittee holds aeoret aeasiona.
Th* Pennsylvania Central Railroad baa
iaaned notice that all applioationa for an.
nual passes mnat bs acoompsnisd by pho
tographs of the eppliosnts. A copy of
the photograph, raduoed in aiaa, will be
pasted on the ,b*ok of eaoh pass. It is
bopsd in this way to preveut tbe lending
of peace* to third parties—a triek quite
common, and to which legislators seam
especially prone.
Maio* Bidsit Hsbskbt communicates
to tli* Montgomery Adterliter the intelli.
gence of the bnruing of a block of old
wooden building* in Troy, Alabama, on
Bnnday. It waa the block adjoining the
briok blook recently built np. The fire
burnt np to tbe brick block, and waa
thsre arrested. Four building! wer*
bnrned. Tbe principal sufferers were
Messrs. Post A Raleigh, Frank Minehe.
ner, R. A. Lane, N. Corley, M. J. Seisel,
and W. W. Jones.
A riASTUL collision ou the East Ten
nsssee, Georgia and Virginia Railroad,
on* mil* east of Carter'*, occurred on
Saturday morning last, by which both
trains were wrecked, two men instantly
killed, and several wounded. Both wer*
freight train*. Messrs. Crouse and
Wyatt, employees of the road, were the
men killed. The Boutheru-bound train
waa out of time, owing to a miscalcula
tion by tha oonduotor. A young lady,
named Julia Whalen, who lived in a cabin
by tha aid* of the road, heard the trains
approaching from different directions,
and knew that a oolliaion was imminent.
Bb* thereupon ran upon the track and
warned th* nearest train by th* waving of
her ehewt. Th* warning sucoeeded only
in eheckiog the speed of the train, not in
preventing the oolliaion. A purse of con
siderable amount was mad* up for Miaa
Whalen, to whose preseue* of mind and
prompt action those who escaped attrib
ute th* preservation of th*4r Uvea.
Sinob tbs preliminary trial yesterday
the people breathe easier. Judge John-
son’s clear and determined words have
found a response in every heart. He
means what h* says, and if pistols be onr-
ried by drunken bravos in our streets,
they will have meted out to them the se
vered penalties of ths law. Ha stated
the duty of the polios in dealing with
such men, aud now if ths polios do
their full dnty without favor, we oan
never have a repetition of the tragedy
whioh has shrouded our oity in mourning,
Every good oitiaen should msk* it bis
duty to guard our oity's pesos, and keep
untarnished her name. W* want th*
name, Oolnmbns, Georgia, to be familiar
through all the land, to be ou the lips of
men aa a oity of progress, and not as it
is spoken of to-day, wherever a telegraph
runs or a paper ie eironlated, as ths pise*
where bravos attacked the police and
alow th* Chief.
It appears from the publication of the
proceedings of a meeting of Alabama
Radtoal Congreaaiueu, held iu tha Hona*
of Representatives at Washington on th*
24th of Jnne last, that Hays and Pelham
were not exclusively entitled to tbe oredit
of diverting aud squandering the Govern
ment appropriation for tha benefit of th*
snfferer* by the spring outflow. This
meeting was presided over by Alexander
Whits, and Wm. H. Betta wa* secretary.
Tha presumption is thst all the Radical
Congressmen from Alabama were present,
though only the nsmea of Bpenoer, Whit*
and Hay* appear in the published pro
ceedings. The meeting recommended to
the Governor the distribution of tbe baoon
to all the Congressional Distriots, without
regard to the overflow. It was evidently
considered too good a thing for one Radi
cal Congressman to appropriate to the
securing of his own re-election, and all
demanded and reoeived a share. We
wonder if th* Congressional eommitta*
sent to Alabama will inveatigata this grab ?

Trapped Partridges.
The Savannah Aeiee, of Thursday,
■ays : Mr. W. M. Nichols, Secretary of
the Georgia Game Association, appeared
before Magistrate Berrien and took out
warrants against Messrs. Anderson A
Rushing, Geo. B. Herbert, B. li. Goodall,
N. E. Bolomon and Ambroso Ehrlich, for
having in their possession partridges, in
violation of the game laws. Seven coopt
of live birds and quite s number of dead
ones were seized and taken to the office of
Magistrate Berrien, and, upon examina
tion of the deed birds, it was found they
had not been shot, bnt had been trapped
and then killed. Mr. Niohols, late in tbe
afternoon, look tba ooopa of live birds to
tbe anathern portion of the oity and re
leased them. The Georgia Sportsmen
Association proposes to enforce s compli
ance with the gam* law, and will causa
tho arrest of all parties directly or indi
rectly violating the same. Tbe trial of
the cases will be quite interesting.

At three o'olock yesterday afternoon
Fred MoGombs, a young Milledgeville
man, and half brother to the late Robert
H. McCombs, was shot and killed by
Horace Wilson and Peta Meadows. The
killing oocurred in C. G. Wilson’s store,
and grew out of the settlement of an ac-
oount. The first shot was fired by Horace
Wilson at one of the McCombx, three of
the latter being present, bnt without ef.
foot. Pete Meadows then shot Fred Mc
Combs. Many other shots were fired by
one or both parties, but it is disputed
which did the firing, or most of it. None
uf the others ware wounded. Fred Mo-
Comb*, after being shot, made bis way to
the door, where he fell on tbe pavement
and oxpired immediately, having been
shot in or near the heart. Fred Mo-
Combs is said to have been an armed
wben killed. Wilson and Meadows were
both arrested and are in ouatody(—Macon

—In tha offloial account just issued by
by th* Prussian*, it is admitted that at
Grsvelotte Cotupte de Moltke neatly lost
tha battle. The official document says:
'Comte de Moltke was not always so well
informed as if ha were the director of
both armies. He attaoked, as he be
lieved, the right wing of the enemy, when
it was their oentre; the error was soon
corrected from the want of ability on the
part of Bazaine; but it is honorably avow
ed that tbe error might have proved calam
itous.”
