The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided in the ease of a murderer
that “to lie too drunk to form the
intent to kill, he must be too drunk
to form the intent to shoot.” This
decision will not lie welcome to those
criminals who steep themselves with
liquor whenever they wish to do

On Saturday, 16th instant, Lydia
Thompson will sail for England,
bringing her American tour to an
abrupt termination at the end of
seventeen weeks, instead of continu
ing it for the thirty weeks contemplat
ed at the outset. Circumstances, the
chief of which bus been Miss Thomp
son's ill health, have made the pre
sent season of her troupe a disastrous
one.
Conkmno’b long speech consisted
muinly of a hypocritical appeal for
magnanimity to the Democratic Hen
ators. Usually lie is brutal and
haughty, but to-day lie begged for
quarter, and asked them not to join
ilia personal war on him. Rluinc,
who is not on terms with Conkllng,
spoke on his side, their common aim
being to break down the Southern
policy of the President.

l'l Ncii hack, in Ids letter of reslg
nation to Governor NIcIioIIh, gives
his Republican friends in the Senate
some hard nuts to crack. The celeri
ty with which they voted Kellogg
into a seat, with a fraudulent elnim
in his bunds, strikes i'inchhack as
being a very J peculiar manifestation
of devotion to the colored race. Pinch
hack naturally thinks his claim was
better than Kellogg’s, lie should
have long ago discovered that Repub
lican humanitarlaiiism is the most
villainous hypocrisy in the world.
The Mesquite shrub, which grows
in profusion in Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona, is almost identical with
gum arabie, and serves the same pur
pose. Last year nearly 30,000 pounds
of It were gathered in Texas. Al
though it has been generally cleared
otf the lands by farmers like a useless
weed, it was valued by the Indians
because of its large edible pod, which
constituted a rich article of food
among them. There seems to la)
nothing In nature that nuiy not lie
turned to good account if its proper
ties are properly understood.
Peter 1{. Sweeney has made the
fluid payment of the $450,000 that
was exacted from him in settlement
of the ring suits,and got his e-ash to do
it with from Jay Gould. Sweeney
owned half of a valuable plot of land
at Thirty-fourth street and Sixth ave
nue. A transfer of tills property to
Catharine Hraily in November last
attracted some attention. To-day,
however, eleeels of it we're transferreei
to Jay Gould, In consideration of
which Goulel paid Sweeney and Hugh
Smith $240,000 uml assumed a mort
gage eif $300,000. The payment set
tles Sweeney’s suits with the city.
Confessions of a Baltimore tramp:
“At Perryville 1 went bin house witl
a lirle'k hi my hand, and asked the
lady if she would please he so kiiiel ees
to put some butter on it. The reque
exe'ited her curiosity, unel she asked
‘Why elo you want to put butter on a
brick'ft I teilei her l was going to cut
it. ‘Surely,’ she saiel, ‘yeiu are not
so hungry as to eat a buttered brie-k
Conic into tlie house anil I will giv-
you fooel.’ 1 bagged a square meal
for which 1 had se't so slick a trap. I
the western section of the State I ask
eel for something to e-at at a house and
was refuse'd. 1 then begged for a
looking-glass, which aroused curiosi
ty to know what I woulel elo with tile
mirror. I replied, ’l want to sex' my
self starving to eleatli.’ They then
gave me wlmt I wanted."
The resolution introduced by Se-nu-
tor Matthews in Hie- Senate, to pay
the bonds in silver, was concurrent
unit not a joint re'soUitlon. A concur
rent resolution eioe's not ivquire tlie
signature' of tlie* President, but lias
not the force [of law. Matthews’ mo
tive in thus making it a concurrent
resolution is evidently to get a test
vote, so that the President e'tin be
aetvisexi by it of the actual strength of
the members of both house's wlio be
lleve legislation in accorelatice with
tlie resolution shoulet lie effix'teil.
When tlie re'solution was before* tlie
Senate, Dawe-s called Matthews’ at
tention to the fact that it was concur
rent, anil not Joint, and interjected
the remark, "I think the Senator
means a joint resolution,'' to which
Matthews replied, -“No, sir; 1 mean
one-urrent resolution, exactly us it
states,”

The Intelligence is now received
that the Central Railroad Company
lias declared a semi-annual dividend
of two and a half per cent,
payable on the 2nth and the
Southwestern three and a half.
The latter, according to the terms of
the lease, the Central is comjielled to
pay, no matter whether it makes
anything, and its stoekliolelers will
get as much more- according, as the
Central dividends exceed seven per
cent. They must, however, get the
latter. People generally will lie-as
tonished to hear that the- Central
Railroad will give up anything, and
that u dividend lias been declared will
excite amazement. The past (lseal
year has lice-n one of comparatively
small business to the ronel. On ac
count of Its grasping, ungenerous
management, ruinouselise-rimiiuiUons
and the attempt to destroy its best
feeders, the company has lost all its
friends, and no shipper will e-mploy its
services except through compulsion
All those- who eleponileel on the ronel,
in which their means were Invested
for some return have long since been
compelled to se-11 out to those who
cli'cted the present ofllcers, whose
idea is to haul from a elistant point
for nothing, anil crush those near at
hand by comparatively enormous
charges. Its policy for years has been
to keep the- liiglie-st possible rates at
towns where there is no competition
anil make them pay for the iosse
sustained at those- points where they
meet rivals. It cares nothing about
building up tlie South, but rather to
ruin it. No advantages nor the
slightest encouragement arc given
manufacturing enterprises. It makes
nii endeavors to build up the country
It would increase its passenger rate
from lie-lple-ss places, but flint undo
its charter not exceeding a certain
mileage, four cents, can be charged
To get tills last dividend wages of
employes have been put elown to a
limit which barely affords n live-li
hood. Its declaration causes tlicsus-
picion Unit Home of the large ownen
arc manipulating the stock so as to
unload tliemselvcH at a profit of a
heavy incumbrance, if there wns
ever the grossest monopoly, one eletri
mental to tlie Slate- which gave it
valuable frane-liiscs and built it, till:
large corporation of the Central
Railroad is (lie- worst and most oj
prcHsive. By the fortunes of n revo
lution 11. has passed into alien hands,
By Its unjust discriminations it has
been a curse to our own city. It
linH enveloped every outlet in il
toils. Business circles ei
complain of tlie' charges, but
they rightly elo of the arbitrary e-x
actions wliie-b give's io place's, rival
of bur own, hundreds of miles west
warel enormous oelels over our trade
All the towns have simply asked t
be placed on an cepiality, anil 1 lie only
answer is “help yourselves." Thor
but out- way to elo so,
anil that is by extending tlie North
& South Road, hut moneyed men
lecline to embark in tlie enterprise,
State aid lias played out, nml that
wonderful power never chose Colum
bus as a favorite.
There is but one way to stop these
Invidious discriminations, and that is
appeal to the Legislative authority.
That is tlie resort to which wo can go,
mil tlie highest court in the land lias
said it Iiiih the power to I'ontrol trans
portation. Let our Council and peo
ple aelopt the suggestion of Rex, made
Htereluy’s paper. Appoint a
oniniittce of citizens and aldermen
to prepare the matter and have it
presented suitably whenever tho Leg
islature meets. We have able* Ropre-
litatives to press thomattcr,and they
will do it with force mid eloquence'.
Act in time, so ns to secure' the co-op-
ration of others, and let it be under-
stooel it is the sovereignty of the' peo
ple arrayed against the most grinel-
ing monopolies—that it shall not bo
allowable for a company that has had
Immense grants from Georgia to
make Georgia towns pay for losses
foolishly and wantonly incurreel in
otlii'r States—and establish something
of a uniformity of transportation
barges.
The very fact that the Central com
pany has declared a dividend creates
suspicion, for its management is not
such us to inspire confidence. Some
of the magnates may desire to ged rid
of a heavy amount of stock anil this
dividend is but a feeling of the
“bulls,” who have been depressing
the stock heretofore. It will bo to
the Interest of our people to induce
through the Legislature some “boar”
influences on this corporation In iv-
gurel to its turifls.
THAT BIMEr III.L.
As the Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger seems a little con fused ns to
who secured the passage in the House
for the relief of the Eagle and Plie-
nlx Company of this city, we would
say that the bill was introduced by
Mr. Harris, of this elistrict. Colonel
Hartrielgc had eharge of itasamember
ofthe'juelieiary committeein tlie House
As liotli Columbus and Savannah are
much interesteel in tills hill, it is but
just to say that the unremitting at
tention of the above gentlemen made
tlie early successful action on tho bill.
The internal revenue elei'lsion in this
use was so novel and remarkable
that tlie judiciary committee, with
such eminent lawyers ns Proctor
Knott, Julian Hartrielge, Benjamin
Rutter and Frye, of Maine, found no
difficulty in giving a unanimous re-
|Kirt in favor of tlie passage- of tlie
lilll of relief. Mr. Harris has but
aelded to the esteem lie is held in this
section by Ids services in this matter,
and we can but sincerely thank Mr.
Hartridge in the nnmo of Columbus.
The War to Continue.—Totle-
ben, the elistingulsheel Russian engi
neer, lias burrowed Osman Pasha out
of Plevna. Osman lias been shut up
for some two months. When envi
roned lie had (10,000 men. He sur
rendered about 27,000. With provis
ions, he could have belli the place-
many months longer, for it is well
nil'll Impregnable, but hunger, dis
use anil cold were worse foes than
the Russians. He was surrounded
by 120,000 men. The Turks
now say they will retire to Adriano-
ple, 150 miles from Constantinople,
the elefenses of which they allege are
stronger than those of Plevna. Tur
key must accept tlie inevitable and
must ultimately yield.
To the Asiutic rumors of England’s
taking part in tlie struggle, little at
tention Hhould be puiei.
An interesting story comes from
Arizona. Kellogg anil Carter owned
a mining elaim, and foolishly quar
relled about It. Kellogg wns a mail
of few Words; "light and free was
Ids touch upon his revolver.” With
little ueio, he Bred at his partner, and
supposed that he lind sent a bullet
intoliisbreast, butbeliolel 1 Carterwas
a good young man, and line! a Bible
in tlie pocket of liis gray working
shirt. The Gull struck upon the su-
creel book, its course wns turned, and
Carter was unhurt. Then tliegexiel
young man whipped out liis gleam
ing bowie-knife, sprang upon Kel
logg and carved him so artistically
that Ids hold on liis revolver relaxed
and lie was like to die. Tlie good
young man stanched liis opponent’
wound, mid roeie away for a physi
cian, returning within twenty-four
hours, having made u total elistane-e
of over ninety miles. Kellogg is re
Covering. Carter, to avoid arrest
sought to cross the river, and tills
time the Bible didn’t save him. He
was drowned. The moral of tliis
cital is very intricate. Blit it is plain
Mint Carter wasn’t born to be hanged
The figures given by the Coniptrol
ler of tlie Currency of the taxes paiel
by the national banks in tlie various
cities of tliis country are sbmewbat
extraordinary. These vary in almost
every eity of the Union as tlie nation
al, Slale, municipal and license taxes
vary. The inequality is far greater
than any onewould believe. Albany
national banks pay the highest taxes
In tllb Union, 0.0 per cent, on their
bank capital; New York city bunks
pay 5.4 percent.; Chicago, 5.2; Cin
cinnati, 4.0 ; St. Louis, 3.9 ; Boston
3; Philadelphia, 2.8; Louisville, 1.9
Pittsburg, 1.9; and, wonder of won
elers! New Orleans only 1.8, tlie low
est rate of taxation paiel by the nation
al banks in any city In the Union.
That is, tlie- rate of the taxation of the
national banks of Albany is neatly
four times as great as in the last
named city.
The Washington Capital states
that the wife of a New York banker
appeareel tlie other evening at a party
representing Capital. The dress was
eovereel on the skirt, so as to make it
appear one piece, with one hundred
and live hundred elollar bills. The
waist anti sleeves were $1,000 bonds
sewed in, ami her Ungers unel ears
lilazeil with eliunionils. The tiara
was saiel to have been worth $80,(KM),
and the total value of the notes and
ilianiouilson her person was $200,000.
Two pages carried her train, anil
watclieel lest the jewels nail green
backs should fall to tlie floor.

Washington, Dec. 3, 1877.
To Miss Grace. Elmore, :
Dear Madam—I have received the
silver salver presented.by tlie women
of Columbia, and with it tlie letter
from yourself ns their- representative.
It would lie unavailing to attempt an
expression of my appreciation of tlie
gift or my sense of gratefulness for
the honor elone me. I am not in
sensible, however, of the fact that you
place too high an estimate upon
my services, for my nature must
have been callous indeed if I had
not responded to Carolina’s call
with every energy of my mind anil
every throb of ray heart. Whatever
of assistance f have been able to con
tribute to the relief of your State
from tlie evils of misgovernnient,
was rendered to a people bound to
those who sent me here by every tie
of kinelred, of interest, of de-utliless
memories and enduring sympathies.
I shall treasure this beautiful gift
through life as a memorial of South
Carolina’s new birth, and of the too
generous tribute paiel to me, by her
daughters, for the aid it was my priv
ilege to render in tlie time of her elis-
tress and humiliation.
With sincere thanks to you and to
those whom you represent, I am most
respectfully and truly yours,

The American people are shrewd and ob-

sham pretensions; but when they are, they
soon discover their error. If Hostetler's
Stomach Bitters lmd been n sham, they
would long since have discarded it; hut.
finding tlmt there was no claim put forth in
Its behalf that ils curative propertiesdhl not
Justify, they immediately gave it the prefer-
nco to every article of its class. Time lias
»nly served to strengthen their faith, and
has Increased Its popularity to an extent
almost beyond parallel, even in this age of
successful proprietary medicines. It ranks
foremost among the standard preparat ions
of the day. and Is endorsed by the medical
fraternity and the newspaper press. It over

Mr. Hayes 1ms been badly defeated.
He can now send in other mimes to

tinued lie cannot suspend tlie New
York custom house officers alter tlmt
body adjourns. This strengthens
Conkllng in New York with the
extremists, hut it intensities tlie ha
tred of liis opponents of the
Curtis wing, and must tend to
solidify tlie Democrats. Tliis last is
more important than any con
tinuation of this or that man. Seeing
Cockling so strong the New York
