rippled and confined as I was, at my

perceive that I have not been goverhed
by any mercenary motives in accepting
my present position, even on the idea of
my having assumed its duties for a
“stipulated” consideration.
In dismissing this subject, so far I am
concerned, for the present, I will bare
ly add that some typographic errors oc
curred in the publication, which some
what impaired the meaning; but I" have
not time to make special mention of
them. I suppose intelligent readers
will sufficiently understand what was
meant without particular corrections.
Very respectfully,
Alexander H. Steitieks.
Unit. A. II. Stephens.
In justice to Mr. Stephens we publish
the following letter which we clip from
the Atlanta Constitution of the 30th.
It must be gratifying to the friends of
this distinguished statesman to know
that, however much the people of
Georgia may differ with him in his
salary views, there are none to remotely
question the integrity of his motives,
or the purity of his principles.
National Hotel, Washington,
December 26, 1S73.
Messrs. Editors of the Constitution:
You greatly mistake me if you sup
pose I had any intention in what I
have written on the salary question to
treat you with “gloves oft"’ in the
ordinary sense in which those words
are used. My object was in the mildest
and most respectful manner to present
the facts and truth of the case on
principle. In this view, I did not
think that the Georgia Democrats in
the last Congress had brought dishonor
upon the State, or could he justly
classed either with “ thieves” or “ prac
tical robbers” for having received the
increased pay allowed by the last Con
gress. That was the main issue be
tween us; and having established, as I
think, the correctness of my position,
in a most respectful manner, quite to
the satisfaction of an intelligent public,
I have no intention of pursuing the
subject.
On the question of the necessity of
the increased pay by the act of last
Congress, or the expediency of the vote
of members or senators on that question
1 have not said a word; nor do I intend
to engage in any discussion of that
sort. I only intended to show the utter
groundlessness of the clamor raised
against the morality and honesty of the
act of receiving “ hack pay,” so called,
whenever the salary lias been increased
by any Congress; and to defend those
who did it from the opprobrious epi
thets, so unjustly, in my opinion,heaped
upon them. My object was to draw
the true line of distinction between
perfect honesty and real roguery in
the actions of public servants in such
cases.
Having accomplished this in as re
spectful and in as mild terms as I
could, I have, therefore, as just stated,
nothing more to say upon that matter.
I did state in the House what I
thought should he the standard, on
principle, in fixing the pay of members
of Congress. I think that a right
standard; and if it should ever be
adopted, my opinion is that it would
be found to be the best step ever taken,
not only in reform, hut in retrench
ment That opinion was expressed
entirely with a view to the public in
terest. So far as I am individually
concerned, I care very little about the
figure at which the pay may be fixed.
While I am here, I can live upon as
little as any other member or senator.
All that I received as a member of
Congress during my sixteen years’
service was spent in Washington, or in
the discharge of my public duties at
home, so far as related to procuring
and sending useful information to the
people generally, as well as responding
to special demands on my attention by
many individuals from all parts of the
country.
My private estate was not increased
a dime, during that whole period,
from Government pay; nor did I ever
make or receive, directly or indirectly,
a dime for any services rendered my
constituents, or others in securing pen
sions, bounty lands, or the payment of
claims of any sort from any. of the
public departments, or for any other
tiling said or done by me in Washing
ton during that sixteen years of service.
While I am here, in the future as in
the past, I consider myself the public
servant of the people, and shall bg,
content with whatever pay may be
legally allowed me, and shall not con
sider it either dishonorable or dishonest
to receive whatever amount, high or
low, that may be so allowed.
In the money view, however, of the
figures fixed by the last Congress, after
expenses here, I could not possibly
realize from the Government pay half
what I made annually for the last four
years from the use of my pen, diseased

A Constitutional Convention—Letter fiom
Senator Nicholls*
We have been kindly permitted to
publish the following letter from Sen
ator Nicholls. Although not intended
for the public, but simply written in
response to a private letter from a friend
asking his views on the Convention
question, and as to the propriety of
holding primary meetings in the sever
al counties to take action thereon, yet,
coming from one occupying the position
he docs, and whose views on public
matters are always sound and conserva
tive, we know his letter will be read
with much interest throughout the
State:
Blacksiiear, Dec. 15,1S73.
Mg Dear Sir: Your letter is just re
ceived. I am decidedly in favor of the
call of a Constitutional Convention for
many reasons, amonst which are—
The great necessity of a return to
our old judicial system; inferior courts
were inexpensive and efficient—much
more to be preferred to the county
courts and Boards of Commissioners
more to be trusted with county matters
than is the one man—the Ordinary.
The old plan of selecting the grand
jury from the most intelligent jurors
in the box, very strongly conserved pub
lic peace, the public security from
onerous taxation and the general pro
tection of our social system. The old
rule of appeals to special juries more ef
fectually subserved the ends of justice,
and gave the Superior Courts a com
paratively small docket. Shorter offi
cial terms, was unquestionably the cor
rect system.
In a word—for my time is limited
a return to the old land-marks, as near
ly as practicable, is earnestly desired
by even' intelligent, honest thinker in
the State. As a matter of economy,
the saving to the people in the forego
ing will be apparent, so soon as tlie
proposed changes can be allowed to
work for a brief season. Again, the
matter of removing the capital, tlie sav
ing will be apparent. We can sell the
“ Opera House” for something like its
orginal cost, whilst the old capitol
buildings are entirely valueless, unless
we use them for their orginal purpose—
so of the Gubernatorial mansions.
Much more might be urged in favor
of a convention, but I have not the time
to enlarge.
I think the bill will pass at the com
ing session of the Legislature.
It would perhaps be well for meet
ings to be held in the several counties.
Yours very truly,
Jxo. C. Nicholls.
Novelty Suicide.
Something original in suicide has at
last retrieved that fine art from the
monotomj' and want of inventiveness
by which it has latterly been distin
guished. Near Hazel Hill, Mo.,
young man shot himself the other day
while riding to church on horseback—
the first instance on record, perhaps, of
suicide iu tlie saddle.
Novelties of this kind are apt to be
come epidemic, though suicide
horseback is less like to become so be
cause of the expense attending it, a
large majority of suicides being com
mitted under the pressure of poverty
by persons wholly unable to buy or
even borrow a liorse. This is a pity,
because one’s feeling for the icsthetic
is grossly outraged, day after day, by
long lists of self-killings executed on
foot by means of such vulgar expedi
ents as bed cords and Paris green.
Dignity is one element that lias
hitherto been wanting in suicide. Tlie
young man of Hazel Hill showed a
just sense of it when lie took a liorse
for his long journey, and liis act will
go far to confute the fallacy prevalent
among the supercilious aristocrats of
Europe that the Americans are not an
equestrian people.
It seems that the Indians of Mani
toba are again giving trouble to the
Dominion Government, and tlie half-
breeds, as heretofore, are instigating
the malcontents to mischief. When
the Hudson Bay Company had full
control in Manitoba, then known as
tlie Red River Territory, the factors of
the company exercised high handed
sway over the Indians, but generally
with a tact and judgment that kept
the friendly side. The late Sir George
Simpson used to say the Indians never
gave him trouble but once, and that
was when they stole his clothes while
he was bathing. There were several
visitors at the fort then, including la
dies, and persons still living who re
member the sensation created liy tlie
sight of the stout Sir George walking
through the enclosure to liis quarters
perfectly nude and with dignified gait.
Good news for the boys. A judge in
Iowa has decided that courting is a ne
cessity, and that an amorous youth
did right in ejecting his girl’s father
from the parlor one night, for trying to
break up liis courtship.
The national council of the Union
League of America held its annual
meeting recently in Washington. Res
olutions were adopted in favor of equal
civil rights, and protesting against the
inhuman policy of the Spaniards in
Cuba.
It is thought tlie majority for the new
State constitution in Pennsylvania will
reach 150,000.
An Old-Fashioned Democratic Paper to
be Published in Atlanta.
On the 8th day of January next, we
will issue the initial number, in Atlanta,
of an old-fashioned Jeffersonian Demo
cratic weekly newspaper, to be called
The Commonwealth op Georgia.
Our motto shall be “ principles, not
men.” We shall have for our object
the renaissance of the old-time princi
ples of the party: the restoration to
their legitimate spheres of the old and
truer political lights of the State; and
the revival of that purity of thought
and of action which characterized the
works and the lives of our public men
in tlie purer days of the Republic. We
shall wage war to the knife upon all
cliques, rings and cabals, whether na
tional, State or local.
Aside from its high political aims, it
shall be a grateful purpose of the paper
to foster and encourage a pure and
healthy literature, to educate our people
up to the highest standard of literary
taste, and to inculcate in tlie minds of
the young men and women of the
South a love of the true and the beau
tiful in literature and in art. To this
end one page of tlie paper will be
devoted to Song and Story, short but
conscientious reviews of current Eng
lish literature, art essays and criticism
and notices of new publications. In
this department we have tlie promised
assistance and friendly co-operation of
the best literary talent of the South.
We shall devote considerable atten
tion to the mechanical interest of the
country—reporting all Southern patents
issued from the Patent Office, and pre
senting each week a sj'nopsis ol tho
mechanical progress of the country.
In this department we have tlie assist
ance of Mr. Julius R. Howell, Mechan
ical Engineer, and a gentleman of rare
scientific attainments.
We shall devote one page of the
paper to the great and underlying inter
est of Agriculture. Recognizing the field,
the orchard, the garden and the yard
as the life-springs of all prosperity, we
shall strive in an especial manner to
make the paper valuable to the farmer
from the variety and solid worth of tho
agricultural, horticultural and apieul
tural matter we shall present.
The remaining page will be devoted
to a general synopsis of news, foreign
national, State and local.
The farmer will find it valuable for
its general news, its market reports
and its stock items, as well as for its
sterling agricultural matter.
The farmer’s wife will find it vain
able for its pleasing companionship, its
valuable household recipes, and its
bright hopeful tone.
The farmer’s daughter will find it
pleasant for its graceful and entertain
ing stories, its charming little poems
and its lively discussion of social and
fashionable topics.
The lawyer will find it exceedingly
valuable for its Supreme Court decis
ions, which we shall accurately report
each week.
In short, we shall honestly endeavor
to fill our columns with everything
that will conduce to the entertainment,
instruction and benefit^ of a refined
Southern home. Our paper will be, as
its name “The Commonwealth op
Georgia” implies, emphatically a
Georgia paper — not confined to the
local interest of a city or county, but
working for the commonweal of the
people of the State.
It will be a laige thirty-two column
paper, printed in clear, bold type adapt
ed to the eyes of the old as well as
the young. It will be published at the
capital of the State, and will contain
the proceedings of the governmental
offices, legislative, judicial, executive.
It will be issued every Thursday,
and will be mailed to subscribers—
■postagepaid—for S2.25 per year, or $1.25
for six months. Our terms will be
cash without any exception.
Its columns will be under the edito
rial control of B. F. Sawyer. All
letters, etc., should bo addressed to
Tiie Commonwealth. Atlanta, Ga.

Among the instances of collision or
shipwreck which have occurred in At
lantic steam navigation during the past
ten years, those which involve obvious
carleessness are but two, tiie cases of
the Atlantic (White Star) and the Ville
du Havre (French). Of the steamships
lost since 1841, there have been seven
teen of six British lines, eight of three
American lines, six of one Canadian
line, and four of one French line. Ac
cording to this statement, the Canadians
have suffered most, and the French
next in comparison to the number of
lines of each.
Municipal elections in Mexico arc-
exciting affairs. That at Matamoras,

was finally interrupted by the appear
ance on the scene of action of several
hundred government troops, who, at
last accounts, were masters of the sit

Some eighteen months or two years
ago a difficulty occurred at the H. L
Kimball House between a Mr. Cush
man and Frank H. Hall, and during
the difficulty shot at Cushman. _ Hall
was indicted for an assault with intent
to murder—tried and convicted of
“Shooting at another.”
He was sentenced to the penitentiary
for two years—carried his case to the
Supreme Court without avail, and eight
months since he went to the peniten
tiary. Ever since his conviction he has
persistently endeavored to secure the
indictment of John Elder, (colored), a
material witness against him, for per
jury. Recently lie succeeded, and on
yesterday Elder was tried, convicted of
peijury and sentenced to the peniten
tiary for five years.
It is possible that the verdict in
Hall’s case will be set aside. We un
derstand that a motion will be made by
liis counsel this morning to set the ver
dict aside on the ground that it was ob
tained by Elder’s peijury. ~ "
Tlie silver lining to all this cloud of
crime and punishment is the fidelity
with which Halls’s betrothed clings to
him. On the witness stand yesterday
she proudly asserted her engagement
to him and her determination to marry
him as soon xs he gets out of tlie peni
tentiary. She is “true xs steel.”—At

R. JANUARY AND CANCER!
The celebrity of the January Infirmary, estab
lished in Murphreeaboro, Tenn.. in 1848, associ
ated the above name with treatment of Cancer
until they became synonymous. Both passed
away with the war. But great discoveries, like
truths, live forever. l>r. J. O. January, inherit
ing bis father's talents, and improving upon liis
experience, has achieved a3ucce*3 iu advance ot
their former history. Owing to increased patron
age he has permanently located ia St. Louis, an*i
numerous letters being received, and arrivals ot
largo numbers of patients, justify bis movement
to this central point. We advise all nffiicted by
Cancer, Scrofula, Fistula, Piles, etc., to apply to
him, as he pojsesses perfect control of those dis
eases, without pain or the knife. Address
