pretension in Central America to the
point of a rupture with the United

be guilty of such m- dness. Yet, the

STATE LEGISLATU RE *
Since cnir Ia.-t notice'of the; doings of
1 his Body, the $tato j&id Bill, which
pa>sed the Senate by a sm ill majority,
and wh ch \te copied lately^ has been
lost anti subsequently reconsidered ’ in
the House. What will be iis fate, we
are not prepared to say, but the decided
vote against it indicates a-determina
tion to strangle it in the House. It
strikes u^, after carefully examining the
provisions of the bill, that it is less ob
jectionable in its futures than'any oth
er plan \ve have seen suggested. Wlteu
there is any possibility. of increasing
taxation thereby, or hazarding the loss
of money from the Treasury—or where
the appropriation is'intended alone
for /esa/ benefit, we should oppose State
aid to Railroad projects. We do not
perceive- that the bill rejected by the
House is amenable to any of these ob*
jeetkma. ^'' V; - ' ' !
. '-Both Houses have .resolved to adjourn
on the 20tb inst. It seems to. he .the
general opinion that it will be impossi
ble to get through with all the impor
tant matters of legislation bj that time.

COUNTY OFFICERS.
The Southern Recorder of last week
contains a very valuable table compris
ing the names of all the county officers
in the State, 1>y which it appears that
takingjthe Sheriffs and Ordinaries as the
itot, the Anti-Know Nothings bare,
throughout the State, but twelve majo
rity. over the Americans; and taking
the Sheriffs alone as tbe expo-ent of
popular sentiment, but jive majority.
This certainly shows an encouraging
revolution in public opinion and feeling.
MR. TOOM BSIN BOSTON. *
The lecture of Mr. Toombs, in'Boston
<Bi tbe 24tb ult., >drew iogptiier. a. very
large ontUiTghly respectable audience.
Tbe Boston Conner thussfoses a notice
of tbe occasion; - .... ,
“There was but little applause^but-
evident marks of an earnest 'desire• to
IteaFihe speaker with courtesy and strict
attention.. In the course of. the, evening
there were occasional faint, expressions
of disapprobation jbut more, than one of
these were dircted at a totally different
object from the eloquent lecturer, i Mr.
Tooralw spoke with ease of manner. His
style, at times. Was-fervid, rarely collo
quial, and uniformly in good ta~te, to
gether with the utmost good temper. He
was surroutided on the platform by an
array of our leading citizens, among
whom we'noticed Messrs. Nathan, and
William Apideton,’ Josiah Bradlee, and
San riel May.”' v • ' ‘
ORGANIZATION.
We are . pleased to- observe that
meeting.of. the Central Executive.Com
mittee of the AmeiicanParty qf Georgia,
has been requested by its Chairman.
We hope every member will be present.
We would: respectfully suggest the inv
portance of the early adoption of some
uniform and simple plan for the organi
zation of County American Associa
tions or Councils. The late Conven
tion at Milledgeville was outside of the
State Council of the ■ American Order
in Georgia, though conflicting in no
And
wise with, it* principles and aims. m , ..
so for as we are informed, the action of Pringle, Furvianoe,
that body meets with almost universal;
approbation. We hope to see the utmost
harmony and enthusiasm pervade the
American ranks throughout the State; ion, Todd, I ration^ V.'Xjer C> ^
