THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUSN. From tho Daily Sun of tho 21st Dec. GEORGIA MATTERS. Tho Formes-Hablemann grand opera is in Savannah. Mr. G. M. Renfroe, a well known Lo- lumbns merchant, was paralyzed Sunday night. A gentleman who has been travelmg extensively through Washington county, gives the Sandersville Georgian the fol lowing as the result of his ^observations: Planters are finding no difficulty in pro curing an abundance of labor. The ten dency is to reduce rather than to increase the area cultivated last year. Au unusu ally large quantity of small grain has been sowed. Not more than a fourth of the amount of commercial manures used the past year will be used next. The people have but little money, but the supply of provisions is good. Planters generally intend to raise provision crops next year. The county is in a healthy and prosperous condition. The cotton crop has fallen far short of what planters believed it would be even a few weeks since. The freedmen have generally worked well the past year, and are con tracting freely for the next. A good state of feeling exists between the two races. Americas negroes are jailed for no other olleuse than stealing a goose. There are just seven lights in a quart of Americus whisky. B. F. Bell, who has just been appoint ed Revenue Collector for the Second Dis trict, is the Ordinary of Sumter county. H. E. Wolfe stabbed Peter Perdue in Augusta Monday. I, 1590 arrests were made in Angnsta for the year ending November 80th. A colored conference has been in ses sion in Milledgeville for the past few days, presided over by Bishop Pierce. The Katie Putnam troupe pounces down upon Rome to-morrow night. The moral papers are all mattering the battle-cry of “no paper next week.” They aie preparing to wrestle with Christmas turkeys.” The Monroe Advertiser furnishes the following school statistics of that county: Certificates have been issued'to teachers as follows: Males one year, four whites and three colored; two years, two whites; three years, ten whites—total 19. Fe males—white, twelve; colored, oue. Whole number of teachers tbirty-two. Number of children enumerated: whites, 1130 females, 1127 males; colored, 1210 males, 1450 females. Total whites, 2257; colored 2600. Whole number, 4917. Enrolled in school—whites, fe males G07; males, 057; total, 1324. Col ored, females 307, males 259. The Houston Home Journal, of Satur day, says: Lost Tuesday a negro man and his wife, living on Warren Harris’ place, about ten miles north of Perry, locked up their three children in their cabin and went off to Fort Valley. They were gone all day, aud when they returned they found tho house burnt to the ground and the children consumed in it. It is sup posed that the children played with the lire, and that the house enugut accident ally. It was in a field, some distance from any other house, hence no one knew that it was on fire. LOCAL NOTES. the State stock in the Greenville and Columbia Road was sold at $2 75, while other parties would havo given So, and that Scott refused to «gu the transfer until his brother-in-law was given $40,- 000. He exposed the transactions of the Land Commission, showing that lands were bought at five and six times their value. He said the agricultural land scrip was reported sold at 721 cents, but he knew men who paid 84 cents for it. Bowen was followed by several mem bers, who denounced his motives. Jones charged Bowen with perjury, and read a d ispatch sent, last summer, by Bowen, in New York, begging Scolt to revoke the authority given Judge Barnett, to pro ceed against Financial Agent Kempton. It is said that Scott has secured enough votes to insure Bowen’s expulsion, and determined efforts will he made in that direction. New York, December 20.—No arrests were made last night. The Grand Jury were called together this morning on im portant information being received by the foreman. That Superior Corn Sttrt.t.fp.-—The Harrisburg Cora Sheller is the only one ever invented for family use that fully answers the purpose. "We have examined it and find, it just the thing—doing all that is claimed for it. It is very light and very convenient, and costs only $3. Every farmer should have one. It will soon pay for itself in the saving of time and labor. TUB HOARS OF GEORGIA. OffuciaB Notice to the Bondhold ers.

Skyles, ns he is called, who figured so conspicuously iu the late un lawful arrests of the Dade county pus- oners. He is charged with false impris onment. Yesterday morning he was ar rested by Capt. G. Whit Anderson. We learn that he waived an examination; that a geutlemau who was counsel for the Dade county prisoners vouched for his apyearnuce when called for, where upon he was allowed to go out of the custody of the Sheriff. We were told that he went to the Barracks and claimed military protection, to avoid investiga tion aud trial before tho civil tribunals, but do not know how true this report is. The U. S. District Court—For North Georgia—will resume its session iu this city on next Friday, tho 22d insL CELEGK AM S. Columbia, December 20.—The resolu tion impeaching Governor Scott is pend ing. Bowen spoke two hours, declariug himself terribly in earnest, and that he meant to impeach every guilty State offi cer certain. He stated that Scott con fessed to the twenty-two millions of dol lars of fraudulent bonds, and within three days the State Treasurer, Parker, defied the Legislature to proceed against him because of the legislative corrup tion. Bowen, in order to obtain a cer tain two-thirds, moved the postpone ment of the impeachment resolutions until alter the Christmas recess, If a full House rejected the measure, Bowen would resort to the courts. He had pledged himself to assist, with evidence and other means, in order that the Gov ernor and other guilty offi rials might be convicted. It is rumored that Scott, ad mitting conviction by the Senate if im peached by the honse, will resign. In the Ku-Klux Court to-day the de- fense introduced testimony to prove an r . alibi in the case of the United States vs. to 36. A Herald special dispatch says it is sus pected that a statement of the case by the United States before the Geneva Commission, lost in November, fell into the hands of the British, who used it to the disadvantage of the United States. The Times says that it is evident that Mayor Hall has friends among the Grand Jury who will make a manly fight to pre vent his indictment. At a meeting of the Committee of Seventy, it. was resolved that they had not changed their views, that Win. M. Tweed aud Mayor Hall should resign. The Committee had entertained no com promise. Callender, the Nation .1 Bank Exam iner, has been arrested. He is charged with having received $75,000 as a bribe from the Ocean Bank.
