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. C. 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. llmmlelde at Mllledgevllle. 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 Tel., 27th. —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.” IIMtUe Indians Harremtsrlnir.
