We have been preparing for it some time and here it is from the New York Sim. “Too much sleighing slays the ‘liorses.” I •<»■*- ; The Society editor of tho Macon Ledger advertises beforehand what 'church he will attend on Sundays. 'Verijy the world moves. It is now about time for Stanley .Mathews and Mr. Hayes other man- tigers to hire some rough to make an un successful effort to assassinate the de facto President. But perhaps this dodge is reserved for the frump card in he Grant programme for 1880, Good judges snv that John Sherman stands a better chance for the Republic- nomination in 1880, for president, than Grant does. If Sherman’s money ssheme is successful, ho will be the har dest man to beat the Democrats will have to oppose. Several prominent Ohio Green back ers, lately arrived in Washington, avers that the Greenback vote of Ohio next fall will be at least one hundred and filty thousand, and they declare that it will not be possible to eleet a hard money man for Governor. France through her great political leader, Gambetta, is steadily progress- operation at the New York sub-treasury 1 w iU be read with interest here. Its or- and no shock was felt in financial circles. The party that has contracted the currency for years; improverished the people and made richer the ahylooks nd nutaxed .bondholders, boast of resnmption as its crowning triumph. ‘We have closely watched the ac counts of the transactions on resump tion day and subsequently. There was little or no demand for gold, and prac tically resumption existed only in name, All the long years of suffering by the poor, business depression, and bank ruptcy have been brought about to compass a financial end that was not desired and that business men refused to take advantage of. The cautions and shrewd schemers only tried resump tion as an experiment, and as a means of making political capital, and a most costly thing has it been to the prosperify'and interests of the conntry. We have only the name of resumption for the very people even who clamored so loudly for it have refused to take ad vantage of it. Gold is as much a cu riosity as it was in 1SG5. The new sil ver dollars are being stored in a mam moth vault built for the purpose New York and the Secretary of the the Treasury is persistent ly and systematically circumventing the law making silver a legal tender. Ia every way imaginable the government i scheming to improverish the people aud to euhanse the f crlunes of the class which lives ofi of the misfortunes ofln ir fellow beings. It may however be regarded as a fa vorable indication that while we have resumption we have not resumed. — ‘BEL HILL RIGHT ONCE. We are pleased at the speech of Sen ator Hill on the Southern Claims bill, ami we heartily endorse his position on the qnestion throughout. All South ing to the proportion-, of a grand Re- erJQ c i»i m3 under thelaw allowing com public. Tho most serious difficulty in way of this happy consumation . is itheiefeperament of the French people. They are too excitable and fickle fa Ike main. South Carolina, with its two one-leg ged Senators, is outdone by Hillsdale .County, Mich., has a lifelong cripple for Register, a ouo-ltggel mail for -Treasurer and ono-armed man for Judge of Probate, while the City Tax Collector of Hillsdale has but one arm. The Tennessee government is pecul iarly , one-handed and one-legged. Governor Marks, Treasurer Folk a#d 'Representative Mathes have one leg teach. Comptroller Gaines, Some tor Wilson and the two sergeants at-arm have one arm each. The Secretary of The State of Louisi ana finds that every one of the twenty amendments to the constitution was re jected at the November election. The capital returns to Baton Rouge, that city receiving 27,957 votes to 21,628 iu ■favor of New Orleans. One day a little girl about five years old, heard a preacher of a certain de nomination praying most lustily, till the roof raDg with the strength of his ■applications.- Turning to her mother, tend beconing the maternal ear to speak- ng distance, she whispered: Mother, don’t you think that if lie lived nearer to God he would’ut have to talk so >oud?” The New York Sun “has found a mares nest, but can’t count the eggs.” It has discovered that Gen Gordon pro cured a cleikship for his nephew, Hugh Harralson, a very worthy but a needy young man. We opine all unprejudiced men who read Mr. Dana’s virtuous gash Oa the subject will remember be once wanted a fine fat office from Grant; when the latter was iu the zenith of his Caasarism. Marshal MacMahon has tendered his resignation as President of the French republic, on the grounds that he is in -disagreement with the Ministry, is hopeless of forming another Cabinet, and is unwilling to assent to measures which he regards as contrary to the good of the army organization. The present Ministers will probably resign, and a new Cabinet be constituted. It Is reported that Gambetta will take the Premiership aud foreign portfolio. No disturbance was created, aud iu the af ternoon M. Gievy was elected Mac- '•Mahon’s successor to serve for seven years. — Gochrak Observer,—Our good friend Mr. E. T. Byington, has sold the re maining half interest in the Cochran Observer to Mr. Jxesley, who, in the last number gives him the following farewell benediction. * “Mr. jand Mrs. E. T. Byington left Cochran last Tuesday for their former houie, Fort Talley, where they will re gain for the present. Mr. E. T.

It is stated that his most intimate friends are much al&rmed at the pros pects of the necessity of another ampli ation, as the bone of the leg protrudes nearly three inches from the point at which it was formerly removed.

A large majority of the claims are for fabulous amounts— ten times more than the claimants ever dreamed of owning before this great door for fraud was opened. While these rascals riot iu their corrupt gains, the true, nob® devoted poople of the South are.all dwbared- from making any claims under the ban of disloyalty. We hope the chum business will not be further extended, especially as the olakae of those loyal oitiaena who ooao ia at this late day are sure to be fraud ulent, aad hi every respect unworthy of payment. Another thing—by the working of the claim law one who had a proper claim for a small amount wus shut out by the great expense oi pros ecuting it aud consequently nearly all ihosewho relieved the benefit of the bill were those who had so magnified their losses as to make the raid on the treas ury worth looking after. It is time for Congress to draw the line againts these loyal war claimants; or make reparation for the great rob- ery committed since the war by the collection of millions of unconstitution al cotton tax. igin and its ravages have been traced by the St. Petersburg Golos with con siderable care. According to this jour nal the epidemic appeared in the Cos sack village of of Yetlyan Stanitza soon after the return of two Cossack regi ments from the war in Asia Minor, and was very likely brought over with their old clothes and rags. It is well known that there were many cases of typhus in these regiments daring the war, but has also been ascertained that during their return homeward no one was at tacked by the disease. Prior to their homeward march the Cossacks’ clothes and other effects were disinfected and well smoked; but probably the men did not expose all their rags and booty to that process, and thus many articles re mained infected. The report regarding the appearance of typhus was received by the Cossack authorities toward the end of November. An army surgeon was at once dispatched to Yetlyanka, He returned with the news that there was no typhus, but there were slight attacks of ague and febriuula. Several days passed by, when suddenly news was brought of frightful mortality in the Stanitza. From fifteen to twenty persons died every day among the pop ulation of six hundred. By December 10 the mortality bad increased. There died among the rest, the doctor of the Astrakhan Regiment; the priest met with the same fate, and his wife and children running away from fear; severr al of the local chiefs were also attack ed, The Cossack population were seized with a’punic; they ceased to ap proach the sick, aud fc-ared to bury the dead. It is reported that the dead bod ies lay for days in the street, with a slight covering of hay thrown over them. At last the indabitants reached the conclusion that the disease was not typhus, but the plague.

After several years of quiet the mule trade has resumed in earnest, and a good broke mule is now a legal tender for.one hundred to one hundred and forty dollars. The number sold in Perry, aud other places in this section of the State, is unusually large this winter, and droves continue to arrive every day or two. So far our merchants have been the principal importers and far the larger part has been sold on time. The traveling traders have been fre. qaently in town, but they generally sell at wholesale for cash, and make their visits of short duratisn. The swell airs and scientific, well rounded oaths of the good feeling jockeys are rarely ever heard in the land; aud all the trav eling traders who come among us have a subdued, religious air, well adapted to the profession universally recognized as being peculiarly one where truth and honor are the talismanic words that lead to success. President McMahon, of France, has never been at hi art a republican. He was a M;trshal of the Empire and Duke of Magenta; and all his sympathies and interests were with the Imperialists- He was elected president by a combi nation of all the enemies of the repab- liean, but has had diplomatic skill enough to maintain the integrity of bis office for nearly four years.—The final conflict with the assembly which led to his resignation'was caused by his nom inating noted Imperialists to the most important commands in the army: The new president, M. Greyy, is thoroughly in sympathy with the republic, and France will doubtless enjoy political harmony for a few years. New Advertisements.
