Return to Specie Payment.
The question of forcing an immediate re-
lluro to specie payment will be one of the
I biding question dif cussed at the next Ses-
I lion of Congress. Many of the leading men
| of the day, are in favor o£ this hazardous
We thiuh that the step would be unwise,
ud we w .uld rather see, by careful and ap-
I j I'.i riate legislation, a gradual reaHzatiion
effected between the value of specieundpa-

livery crime committed in the South

1 iie most notable examples of late are
the attacks made by the Tribnue upon
heorgia because of murders committed in
Florida,and a tirade upon Georgia recon-
rtruction by the Times because of legisla-
| ti n by the Alabama Legislature at Mont-
;omcry.
fhus the men who do the thinking for
I 'he whole North don't know Florida from
| bcorgia, and have forgotten that Mont-
u unory is the capital of Alabama. This is
| 'he party of big ideas 1
M e are willing to be considered a big
Hite, as we are, but we don’t waut our
boundaries to be defined so as to include
the crimes of the world.
SPIRIT OP THE PRESS
The Intelligencer hoists the name of
Dr. Alexander to its head and claims to be
the only Democratic ergan in the city.
We believe that the Democrats will be
lashed if they don’t compromise. With
Dr. Alexander and the uominee of the
Democratic Convention to split our party
vote, and some such man as Markham to
concentrate the Radical vote, things look
gloomy. Oh that goddess of discord.
The Savannah Rep ublican' wants the
State Fair to be held next year at that
place. We don’t care—we won’t clamor
for the State Fair, os we are going to have
a larger one than that, at Rome on our own
responsibility, next year.
The Savannah News calls lustily for a
reconstruction of the postal system, and
on displacement of the present imbecile and
dishonest incumbents by capable men
While the postal arrangements at Rome,are
very good we agree with the News, that
the present incompetent postal system
not one of the least discomforts attending
Radicalism.
The Nashville Banner, thinks that the
coming Constitutional C nventiou, will be
the most important ever held in the State,
and urgis that intellectual giants be chos
en to attend it.
The Federal Union urges planters to in
vest their money in Colton Factories and
suggests Aliiledgeville as a good point for
the establishment of the same. He declar
es Bollock to be the prize ox exhibited at
the Fair and publishSs a letter for a large
party of Canadians who wish to settle in
that section of county. Can it be that
these ignorant Canadians have not heard
of Rome I
The Era says that the Democratic par
ty is strong, but that it still makes aa issue
upon the XVth Amendment it must be
whipped. If it gives up the Amendment
it has very little left to fight for. We are
cot opposed Jo the XVth Amendment on
the ground of negro suffrage, but on ac
count of the last clause, which, gives Con
gress the right to interfere in the mat
ter.
The papers of the State are terribly mad
with Solcn Robinson the Agricultural Edi
tor of the Tribune,lor slandering the Geor
gia State Fair. They think that after we
had bootlicked old Solon, and flnokeyed
aroundjiim to such a shameful degree, that
he should have spoken kindly of ns. Bat
the old villain couldn't look at it in that
way. He was bound to please the readers
of the Tribune, and nothing bat unqualified
abuse of Southorn people, and all things
Southern; would do that.
The Press and Messenger (Knoxville)
has a leader lamenting the great debt of
Tennessee. When the Radicals first got
possession of the State it was 16 millions of
dollars in debt ; now it owes just about
45 millions, is paying over 2 millions inter
est yearly up>on that. A healthy condition
of things 1

New Papers.—Mr. J. F. Shecut, of
the Farm Journal, proposes taking that pa
pier to Atlanta, and starting an eveningpm
pier ifi that place to be called the Evening
Express. Terms 84 00 pier annum.
Means. Harry J. Neville & Co., propose
starting a Daily paper in Macon, to be call

We wish both piapiers ample success.
Dr. Lee.—Tho many friends of this
iamons journalist will be pleased to learn
that he is just entering the traces again as
editor-in-chief of the Farmer & Artisan.—
This journal, devoted to the interests of
the agricultural and laboring classes, is
published at Athens and Atlanta by Messrs

Georgia Collegian.
We hr vc received this mornins the pros-
piectus of a College papier to be started at
Athens by the young men of the Universi
ty, under the above mentioned title.
The editors ire all well kmwn to us as
men of taleut and energy, and we feel war
ranted in saying that the paper will be spi
cy and full of fuu.
They call upon the alumui and friends
of the College for help. We cannot con
ceive of an alumnus “with soul so deaa”as
not to take his College papier.
Drive ahead, boys—get out your* speci
men copy—fill it with short articles on Col
lege affairs, and we, personally, warrant
that every alnmnus in or about Rome will
send for it. 'We are glad you have started
this enterprise, and success will attend you.
Senator Cameron is going to exhibit
himself at the Georgia State Fair. Bol
lock has labored like a Trojan to get some
body from around Washington to go to his
agricultural show, and the public must feci
relieved to know that he has at least got
two or three men of cheap distinction to con
sent to attend. Grant was wanted down
there badly, but he said he most stay at
home some now — Southern Paper.
It is such' a relief to know that this por
tion of the country will be rid of such char
acters for a few days. The chickens will
roost low enough in their al sence to enable
one to'catch them for Thanksgiving, clothes
may be left upon the line over night, while
overcoats will quietly aud safely rest in the
hall. If Bullock only could induce those
fellows to remain there, but wo soppiose the
people of the Sooth have had enough of
that sort of thing. Bullock is about as
much as one State can endure.—AT. K Dan.
The Mayor of St. Louis, in message on
Tuesday, estimates that the exports of pro
duce from that city to points south of Cairo
are twice as large as before the war, and of
manufactured articles ten times as large.
Pleasant Resort.
One of the. most popular resorts in on
pretty little city at present, is the “Cala
boose”. Scarcely a night piasses but what
there is a band of choice spirits congrcga-
od there under direction of our polico, and
having a good time.
Last night- three gentleineu made this
their resting place. Its cheap, yon know,
and no danger from thieves.
Uncommonly Dmnks.
We have noticed revcral first class “booz-
ies” meandering the streets during the past
two days, yet as the city papers very justly
observe, Rome has fewer drunkaris than
any city in Georgia. The drunkards are
strangers who are led by the beauty of our
city to stop with us, and then become so
overjoyed with their new home, that ■ they
get tight to celebrate! They are not Ro
man citizens though.
Fire Belt.
We believe that .the time of monthly
meeting of the Fire Companies is approach
ing. We urge them to take some, action
upon the subject of getting a fire bell. The
winter is rapidly approaching; fires will
likely be ; frequent, and let us prepare for
them. All that the firemen ask, is to be
aroused from their slumbers, on occasions
of fire, andwe thinkthat the citizens might
provide a lively Wakener.

' The following resolution was read and
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, We are informed that the
mercantile interests of Savannah are desir

a special agent to encourage direct trade
with Savannah, and the investment of for

At the conclusion of the reading of the

The census 41' 1S70 promises to open tho
eyes of a gietfiuaay people to' the rapid
changes which Tnve taken place in this
country. The Chicago Tribune has been
figuring on the subject and demonstrates to
the satisfaction of the candid reader that
the Last is about to surrender tho sceptre
of power to the -West. We copy two sec
tions, showing tho difference of apportion

While the New England States lose six-
teen the Western States gun fifty-three
members. Counting the States on the Pa-
cifio slope as substantially allied to Western
influences and interests, we have a farther
addition to the quota of the West of, say,
eight representatives, making the total
Western gain no less than sixty-one mem
bers.
Tne following table estimates the change
between the period named in representa
tive strength of New England and the
other Eastern States or Atlantic States
combined:

This table is valuable for showing that in
any solid combination in which the East
ern and Middle States, including Delaware
and Maryland, would pot forth their entire
strength against a combined Western coali
tion, the West would still triumph by a
majority of seven.
With the increased representation of the
South, wnich is nH given by the Tribune,
it is plain to see that, nnless some great
cheat shonld be concocted by the Yankees,
the authority which the East has so long
used for the detriment if the country is
about to be transferred Western, with the
South as a formidable balance of power.
The tremendous carpet-bag movement
Southward was no doubt intended to emas
culate this balance and checkmate the re-
salts of the census of 1870 which favored
the West. The East evidently hoped by
the juggleries of reconstruction to preserve
through its emissaries in the South, much,
if not all, of its ancient strength in Con
gress. This little game ha3 been only par
tial snccess and is destined to ultimate dis
aster. Before many years have rolled away,
the South will have genuine representatives
in the National Council and she will have
a favorable vantage ground to make herself
felt between the rivalries and bickerin s of
her antagonistic neighbors of East and
West. Out of such antagonism and rival
ries the opportunity of the South will come.
She wilt be sought by both sec liens and
made mnch of by either, the one or the oth
er, as the case may be She will have the
casting vote perhaps in snch questions as
the removal of the capital, the revision of
the tariff, the taxation of bonds and free-
trade. The country has much to h ipe for
in the census of 1870, and its consequences
will be as gratifying to the South and West
as they will he doleful for New England.—
Constitutionalist
The Fifteenth Amendment.—Onr
cotempary,the Gazette, considers this adop
tion of the Fifteenth Amendment as “a
foregone conclusion,” We {will see wheth
er It is true or not. There are thirty-seven
States in the Union. Ten States against
the Amendment will defeat it. We count
the following States as certainly against it:
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio
Kentneky, Oregon, California, Tennessee,
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. In addi
tion, we connt New York,which will rescind
her action of last winter. We also may
claim Indiana, which while requiring two-
thirds of the members of her Legislature to
adopt tho Amendment, did not have that
number, and her pretended acti’.s was,
therefore, null and void. We may farther
remark that if Texas and Mississppi are
not States in the Union for ordinary legis
lation, they cannot he counted for any pur
pose whatever. In the light of these facts
we cannot see how the Amendment can he
adopted.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
Five hundred and ten ot the arrests in
San Franscisco last month were ‘ uncommon
ly drunks.”
New York, the home of sensation, has
another one. An old gentleman of Wind
sor, a town two miles from Newbnrg, on the
Hudson, on Friday afternoon, while amus
ing himself picking with a pickaxe in a
bank where some laborers were at work,
dog ont an old jar containing some 650
pieces of large Spanish coin of dates rang
ing from 1720 to 1773. Many suppose
this to hxve been a portion of Captain Kidd’s
treasure, while others think it most have
been buried there by some of the Revolu
tionary army, which was encamped on that
very spot for a longtime.
A FRENCH INVENTION,
How Women are Hade Beantlfal Forever
The latest process for making women
“beautiful forever” is that invented by
Madame Maniqnet, of Paris. An ointment,
the seoret of which is only known by the
inventor, is spread npon a stiff linen.which
it applied all over the tace.and takes the
shape; forming a mask adjusted to the feat
ures. This mask remains on until the
skin rises in thiek postales, It is then
withdrawn sod certain salve robbed over
the face, when the patient most remain en
tirely motionless, not being permitted to
speak, laugh, or cry daring the formation
of the new skin, which operation generally
takes abont a week to accomplish. This
new skin is soft and tender as that of an
infant', delicate in the extreme, and most
be maintained by the dally use of the soft
ening compound manufactured by Madame
Maniqnet. The first sensation on taking off

Ricukond, Nov. 25.—The Republican-State
Convention today adopted an address to Con
gress.
It sets forth that the election in Virginia
was a Confederate triumph, achieved by ittf-
tim dation and fraud; Republican meetings
being in some instances broken up by mobs;
that the true secret of Republican defeat was
the submission to a separate vote theteatoath
and disfranchising clauses, which had _ been
inserted in the Constitution in the spirit of
the Reconstruction act; that the convention
have the greatest confidence in the Republi
canism and statesmanship of the President
and a majority of Congre ss, hnt that they
were deceived as to the true state of affairs
in Virginia; that the present Legislature is
illegal, and even if it ratifies the Fifteenth
Amendment, it will enact snch educational
and property qualifications ns to entirely de
stroy the inllucnce of colored suffrage and
vent colored voters from either holding of
or sitting in the jmy box.
The address asks Congress to order n new
election, with the Constitution submitted as a
whole, and send a military force sufficient to
protect Republicans in their rights, or to re
quire test oaths of the members of the Leg
islature, and award the seats of members un
able to take it, to those eligible opponents who
have received the next highest vote.
The address was signed by six out of eight
of the committee appointed to propose it.—
The other two members supported a substi
tute, asking Congress for immediate admis
non of the State, and at the same timeto ex
act guarantees that every citizen shall enjoy
every right under federal and State Constitu
tions.
The substitute was defeated and the origi
nal address adopted by 12 to 21.
A scries of resolntions were adopted, en
dorsing Grant’s administration and pledging
support to it; requesting the President to
make Federal appointments in Virginia only
on the recommendation of members of Con-
ss from the State.
tvention went into election for chairman of
State Central Committee, and the supporters
of the defeated substitute nominated General
Wickham, and their opponents nominated
Chits. H. Porter. Tbe mends of the substi
tute conceived that they did not get fair play
and withdrew from the convention.
The withdrawing members were about 30
in number, including J. H. Platte and S. S.
Ayers, Republican member elect to Congress.
These withdrawing members signed the
substitute, and will forward it to Congress.

The Opening of the Suez CaaaL
The Sncz canal is the lion of the day.—
Its opening is graced by Kings, Queens
and other lesser potentates and celebrities.
As a pageant it will eclipse the famous
field ot the cloth of gold, while in respect
of great commercial results, it will prove
one or the grandest undertakings of this
progressive age. The canal has cost np to
June last $55,000,000. Its estimated cost
$73,000,000. More than one-half
taken in France, one-quarter in Fgypt
one-cigth in Austria, and the remainder in
other countries. The length of the eanal
is abont 100 miles. The width varies from
190 to 400 feet. The depth is 26 to 32
feet.
It begins at Fort Said, on the Medite-
rian, 124 miles from Alexandria, and cross
es the low desert for many miles in fresh
water water lakes, until it reaches Suez, on
the Bed Sea, thepiezent terminus of tbe
road to Cairo.
It is constructed without gates or locks,
and is by far the deepest that has ever
been built. The depth shows that the lar
gest ships of the line can easily navigate it,
the famous Great Eastern herself, drawing
only 30 feet. Any ship of 3,000 tons
harden can get through." The speed al
lowed by tho rules is not tc exceed 6 miles
rcr hour. It is to be illnminated at flight,
and be the property of the present compa
ny for ninety-nine years, and then pass in
to the hands of - tbe Egyptian government.
This immense enterprise uas projected by
M. Ferdinand deXesseps, a French engin
eer in 1831. Nothing was done, however,
in relation to it until 1854, when a compa
ny under his direction was organized at
Cairo, November 30, of that year. It had
many obstacle! to encounter. It was op-
posedby Great Britain, because it was
thought that it would give France too mnch
power over herroute to India.
Through her influence Turkey also op
posed it. This retarded it for some years;
or until 1864, when France took the decid
ed position at Constantinople that compell
ed the opposition to abandon active an
tagonism. While the new and unsettled
portions of the globe in America are open
ing their avennes to commerce, the old
>arts of the Asia and Africa, which have
icen considered dead fo- thousands of
years, are thus being revived and rejuvei-
nafed.
Wfaile we of the Amerscan continent
save the journey around Capo Horn, they
of the Eastern are spared the transporta
tion of the imrnese distance of the Cape
of Good. Hope. Through this canal and by
the Pacific Bailroad the trade and com
merce of Asia with Europe and America
will be transacted.

- lie Work of One Year,
Courage Democrats! There is u« cause
for discouragement or despair in the ranks
of the Democracy anywhere. Let them look
over the field and sec the great work the
Democracy has done within one year, and
then see which party is nearest dissolution.
Among the States Grant carried in 1863,
were Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts,
Minnessota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and
California. These gave him an aggregate
majority of 285,247. Among the States
that went for Seymour Now York, New
Jersey, and Maryland. These gave an ag
nate Democratic majority of 44,811.
ving a total majority for Grant in tho
eleven States mentioned 240,436. Those
Same eleven States have voted within the
laBt two months, for candidates of greater
or less importance, hnt always npon ques
tions of party. One of the eight. States
that went for Grant last fall, this fall goes
Democratic, leaving only seven, which have
given aggregated Radical majorities of75,-
500, against 285,247. New York New
Jersey, Maryland, and California have this
faB given aggregate majorities of 82,000,
against 44.811 last year. This instead of
leaving a Radical majority in the eleven
States of 240,436, gives the Democracy a
majority of 6,500! Within one year the
Radical majority has decreased 209,747,
while the Democratic majorities have in
creased 37,189. This appears to ns glory
enough for one year, and a sufficient en
couragement to nerve the Democracy to re
newed hard work for better and more last
ing victories.—JVI T. Democrat.
