Why sny person or persons should attempt to throw the street cars off the track we cannot conceive. There is nothing to be made by such an operation, they cannot hope to make any money nor can they expect to kill anybody.

We desire to call the especial attention of our readers and the publio generally to the schedule of arrangement by which the pro prietors of the Herald will distribnte oyer $7,000 worth of presents to the patrons of this paper on the 1st of January next. The idea is no new one, in the main, though in its details it is original with the Herald. The Courier-Journal, the best paper in the South, has about such a plan, by which gifts are distributed to its subscribers, i. e., its weekly subscribers. The Cin cinnati Enquirer, the leading paper of the Northwest, has bnilt up a circulation of over $100,000 by just such a scheme, and other papers have adopted it with eminent success. The theory is plain. The profit on 3.000 daily subscribers is say 35 per cent, of the gross amount they yield. The profit on 10.000 daily subscribers is 65 per cent of the gross amount they yield. We propose by a liberal course to strike for the higher figure. With this attained, we will give Georgia a paper of which she may be proud. By a lit tle exertion on the part of each subscriber of the Herald this end may be speedily attain ed. There is not a reader of the Herald who could not, by five minutes’ exertion send us the name of a new subscriber. If this were done, the desired pitch will be reached at ODce. Bead the schedule of presents and show it to your friends.

THB UTILITY OF THE CROTON BUG AS A BEAUTIFIEH. From the New York Herald. “Is it a fact,” asks a correspondent, “as you have asserted, that dealers ia Circassian and Georgian female slaves in Egypt feed their victims on roaches in order to make them plump and beautiful ?” In answer we will quote from a well known magazine the language of a correspondent writing about tbe “Egyptians at Home.” He bad seen a dozen of these mountain women Betting on shore, where they had just landed from a ship. They were pale, thio, rough-skined, tawny-haired, unkempt, in coarsest attire, and were in pursuit ot fleas. He expsessed his disappointment to an Egyptian, dragoman standing near, who, with a graceful wave of his hand, replied, “Oh, Effendi! could you see these women three months hence you would say that the prophet had fitted them for heaven. Good mashed beetles tgenus roach and Crotton bog) and generous pUaf shall make them plump; the daily bath shall give their skins the hue of creamy milk and their joints the suppleness and grace of tho gazelle. With new health, their eyes shall sparkle with mirth and be bedewed with tenderness, the rose shall bloom on their cheeks, and gold shall gild their tresses. God is great!” And he might have added, “mash ed beetles are the profit of the harem tra ders.” The Egyptian beetle, then, being es tablished as an article of food from which to manufactuie beauties for Oriental seraglios (and it is chronicled in very profane hiitoiy that the solution ot pearls which Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, prepared lor Marc Antony was only intended as a sauce piquante for the beetle hash with which she regniled her Roman lover), it becomes an interest ing question of ioquiry to ascertain how far our domestic favorite, the Croton bug, being of the beetle tribe, can be used in the same category. The supply, as we have already explained, ii inexhaustible, but we fear the quality is scarcely high enough. Although covering and devouring almost ev erything that comes in its way, even to boring into clamshells, onr bug has not reached that degree of nnctuous fatness which would ren der it a merchantable article in the Egyptian market. Still, there is no knowing what time and culture may accomplish.

A temporary Secretary was appointed, and the cases of the contested dele gations then referred to the Committee on Credentials, consisting ot two frem each District. Tho Committee was then appointed. A committee was appointed to select permanent officers. A resolution recognizing the Liberals and inviting their co-operation was offered.

Mr. Cresmer in sisting upon speaking, and charged that the commit tee on credentials had been packed. Amid great con fusion recess was taken. The convention reassembled at 4:30.

A permanent organization was then effected by the election of Horatio Seymour President. On taking the chair he said, we met at a time when an unueal interest was felt in the action of a nominating convention. The State of finances heavy burden of taxation, and frequent exposure of corruptions excite the attention of the public to the character of thoso who are placed before them as candidates for office. Party ties will not hold voters to support any who are not felt to be fitted for public stations by integrity and capacity. The real object of this convention must be to place in nomination men of the highest character and capacity to conduct State affairs, and if this is doue we can elect them.
