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- | per money. Meanwhile we wait, to hear with pleasure "f the scheme by which our wise meu will I fine the redemption of about fifteen bun- I tired millions of dollars in paper currency | lw about tlirrc hundred million dollars in How Great Is Georgia, he majority of Northern Journalists tn to think that all the land lying South | of Mason and Dixon’s line is called Geor- livery crime committed in the South ■- pat t„ the account of Georgia, whether !! ho committed in Carolina or Texas. 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.

Tents three dollars pier annum. 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. Nfc— n - GOOD HEMS TO ROME.

[From the Macon Telegraph A Messenger. Proceedings of the Agricultural Society in S esalon at the Fair Grounds, Saturday. November 20th. Society called to order by the President. On call for business there was some de bate on minor points, when CoL Hood ic- troduccd the following resolutions, which were unanimously passed : . Retoked, That the President and Vice Presidents of the State Agricultural Socie ty shall be ex officio members of the Exec utive Committee. Resoical, That the Executive Commit tee shall consist of three members from each Congressional District, who shall be chosen by the President. Seven, if each Congressional District ib represented, shall constitute a quorum; and eleven, if the Districts are not represented. Retoloetl, That it shall be the dnty of all the members of the Executive Committee to meet at least seven days before the open ing of the State Fair, to superintend and direct i he arrangements; and in case any member of the committee shall be absent without written excuse, he shall be consid ered to have vacated bis < ffico, and it shall be the duty of the members to appoint and fill the vacancy. Resolved, That the sum of four dollars per diem be paid to each member of the Executive Committee, to defray his expens es while in attendance on the duties of his office. Resolvedfurther, That no man shall be appointed a member of the committee who is not a member of the County Society, provided there be no ono in the county in which he resides at the time of his ap pointment. The next business in order was the elec tion of officers. Col. Yancey was nomina ted for President. Also, Col. Locket.— Some gentleman announced that Col. Lock et had anthurized him to withdraw his name if brought before the Society. On the ballot CoL Yancey was elected Presi dent. The following gentlemen were elected Vice Presidents by acclamation . 1st f'ougressional District—William Schley. 2d Congressional District, Benj. Locket. 3d Congressional District, Felton. 4th Congressional District, H D Capers. 5th Congressional District, Joel Billups. 6th Congressional District, D C Barron. 7th Congressional District, C W How ard. CoL David W. Lewis *as then nominat ed Secretary, and nnanimo'ts'y elected.— Wm. Hazelkurs', of Macon, was nnani- monsly elected Treasurer. The report of the Secretary, who acted as Treasurer daring the past year, w s then read and referred to an auditing com mittee, composed of Messrs Obear, Nut ting aud Brown, of Macon Moved by Gen. Wright that a commit tee of three be appointed to reviso and amend the Constitution and By-laws, and report at the next meeting of the Society. Passed. Committee—A. R. Wright, chairman, C. W. Howard, Aithnr Hood. ' The following resolution was read and unanimously adopted : Whereas, We are informed that the mercantile interests of Savannah are desir ous of sending the Hon. Ed. C. Anderson to the cotton marts of Western Enrope as a special agent to encourage direct trade with Savannah, and the investment of for eign capital throughout the State of Geor gia; therefore. Resolved, That the Georgia State Agri cultural Society hails this move with great gratification, and ask for the Hon. Mr. An derson the courtesies of the Agricultural Societies and Cotton Supply Associations of all countries that he may visit. Raolced, That the Hon. Mr. Anderson be requested by the President of this So ciety to report to him, for the use of the Society, all informatiou that he may deem beneficial to the Agricultural and manufac turing interests of this State, and that the President furnish him with any informa tion concerning the resources of the State of Georgia, and the inducements of for eign capital to locate here. At the conclusion of the reading of the resolutionjintroduced by Mr. Howard, with respect to Mr. Anderson’s visit to Europe, some one asked if Mr. Anderson was not a Director in the Central Railroad, and if so, he would like to have the fact stated bc> fore the vote on it was taken. Resolution of Gen. Wm. M. Browne : Resolved, That a committee of three members of the Society be appointed to visit the Legislature of Geoigia, and use their influence to obtain an appropriation for the Society, and in all respects protect the interests of agriculture.

Mr. Obear, of Macon, introduced the following resolution : Resoical, That the salary of the Secre tary be increased to three thousand dollars, and that ho be required to employ a record ing secretary at snch - salary as he may agree upon. ■ , . No farther business, the Society adjourn ed, subject to the call of the President East an^West—Tile Next Ceasus. 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 ment in representation between the Years 1840 and 1870: 1840 1870 Maine....... ..8 Maine............... New Hampshire....5 New Hampshire. Vermont.-.....5 Vermont. Massachusetts 12 Connecticut....I... 0 Rhode lsland.......2 Massachusetts Connecticut Rhode Island.. Total TotaL i It will be seen at a glance, from this tab- alar distribution, that the six New England States will lose no less than sixteen mem bers if Congress: The Western contingent is to he regulat- ed tl.ns: Ohio .. Indiana.. ... [Uinois 1840 19 7 3 1 Ohio Indiana Illinois.. .... Missouri. 1870 19 11 ......16 11 Missouri 2 Michigan.... 7 Total ... 32 Iowa. Wisconsin... 8 7 Minnessota. Kansas Nebraska Total- .. 3 2 1 85 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: 1840 New York 40 New Jersey 0 Pennsylvania 28 Delaware 1 1870 New York 29 New Jersey 5 Pensylvania 25 Delaware Maryland 6 Maryland .4 81 Add N. England. 38 04 Add N. England. 22 Totals 119 TctaL 86 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 the mask is one of horror. The visage is swollen and fomefied axactiy as if subject ed to severe scald or born. Many of thepa- tients swoon at the first sight of their de formity, as reflected in the long trumeau looking glasses which adorn the apartment, Bat Madame Maniqnet points to her blsom- ing vissage, and hope replaces alarm. As a matter of coarse, this skillful renovator of faded charms has hosts of customers, and it is hinted that the Empress of the French desires to become one of them. When Davenport was called before the curtain at the Rochester theatre, he asked why he was like yesterday t—and answer ed, because he would not be seen there again.

Clxveland, Nol. 25.—Henry Ward Bee cher has been elected President of the Wo- man’s Suffrage Convention. 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 stockholders of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad met today.

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. i 1 : - 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.
