the gazette. Wednesday, January 29,1873. Railroaw from Chicago to Savan nah. —At the Agricultural Convention which meets in Augusta in February, we hope the advantages, or disadvantages, of this great railroad project will be discussed. There will be no more fitting body of citi zens before whom this matter could be brought than one eomposod of representa tives of the farming interests of the State. The line projected, starting as it does from one of the great grain centres of the West, is one of peculiar interest to the people of this State, and particularly so to the farmers of this part of the State. By a railroad from Chicago grain aud ba con can be laid down at our doors at a much less cost than it can now be bought for in Augusta. Corn, in portions of the West, is now used as fuel, because at 17 cents a bush el they find it cheaper than coal or wood; while in Elbert county to-day holders de mand from $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel. A certain class of speculators may be found in this part of the State who, while they do not openly oppose the construction of railroads, act in such a manner as to re tard a movement in behalf of such an enter prise more than open or violent opposition could do. We beg our'eitizens not to be in fluenced by this class of people, but to stu dy the interests of the whole Community and act in accordance with their honest judgment. To the delegates selected to represent this county in the Agricultural Convention, we submit the proposition made in the opening of this article. We hope they will make it a point to bring the matter before the convention, and by that means give it sufficient prominence to induce the people and press of the State to give the subject tbe consideration which its magnitude deserves. The Election or Senator.—On the 22d the Legislature weDt into the election ot Senator, to take the place of Hon. Josh ua Hill, whose term ol office expires on the 4th March next. Several candidates were before that body, and five ba l loti"gs were had before a choice was made. We give the baliottings in detail— (107 votes neces sary to a choice) : FIRST BALLOT. Gordon 84 Stephens 71 Hill 35 Akerman 14 Fielder 8 SECOND BALLOT. Gordon 87 Stephens 71 Hill 35 Akerman 14 Fielder 5 Three votes chauged Iroin Fielder to Gordon. THIRD BALLOT. Gordon 87 Stephens 75 Hill 32 Akerman 14 Fielder 4 Three from ilill and one lrom Fielder went to Stephens. FOURTH BALLOT. Gordon 95 Stephens 71 Hill 28 Akerman 14 Fielder dropped; his 4 votes and 8 from Hill going to Gordon. FIFTH BALLOT. Gordon 112 Stephens 86 Akermau 7 Hill dropped; his votes and 7 from Aker man dividing between Gordon and Steph ens, resulting in the election of Gordon, he having received 5 more votes than were necessary to elect Messrs. Hester and Heard, Senator and Represenative from Elbert, voted for Mr. Stephens, The Reduction of the Judicial Cir cuits. —The joint committee on the reduc tion of the judicial circuits have made their report, which embraces the following chan ges: Augusta Circuit—Richmond, Columbia, Lincoln, McDuffie and Burke counties The Middle Circuit is abolished. Ocmulgee Circuit, —Jasper, Putnam, Jones, Baldwin, Wilkinson, Washington, Twiggs, Johuson, Laurens, Jefferson and Emanuel counties. Northern Circuit —Madison, Elbert, Oglethorpe, Glascock, Hancock, Wilkes, Taliferro, Greene, Warren, Morgan and Hart counties. Eastern Circuit—Chatham, Effingham, and Bryan counties. The Bill for Refunding the Cotton Tax. —The bill for the refunding of the cot ton tax, as agreed upon by the members of the House from the cotton growing States, amends the bill now pending before the Committee on Ways and Means by declar ing in the Ist section that restitution of the tax shall be made to the party who actually paid the tax, whether paid by himself or agent ; attorney or factor, and adding to the 4th section a proviso that ail entries receipts, or other efficient testimony, shall enure sole ly to the benefit of the producer, unless it shall affirmatively appear that some other party paid said tax and has not been repaid the same. The bill, as above amended, was Produced by Mr. Pierce, of Mississippi, referred to the Committee on Ways and GEORGIA NEWS. Augusta is overrun with burglars. There was a big rush to see Joe Jeffer son in Rip Van Winkle in Augusta last week. He is the best delineator of that character now living. Savannah celebrated the anniversary of General Lee’s birthday last week. At the recent conference of the African M E. Church at Macon, a resolution was adopted advising negroes against emigrating from Georgia. , Whenever a constitutional couvention of the people is spoken of the Atlantese are frightened out of their wits for fear the Cap itol will bo moved. So says the Augusta Chronicle. The Augusta fire department paraded on the 20th in honor of the birthday of Gen. Lee. Mr. Chas. Baker, an old merchant of Augusta died in that city recently. A colored girl in Macon poisoned herself for a faithless lover. The recently elected State Printer com mences his work in the January session of 1874. The Deputy Marshal of Gainesville was recently stabbed while making an ar rest. J. Comber of Washington county, drown ed in six inches of water. Mattie Williams, colored, in Macon, Sat urday. Jealousy. Two ounces arsenic. Coroner. The gin house of Mr. I. J. Hidgon, near Bainbridge, containing six bales of cotton, was destroyed by fire on Saturday night last. In Savannah the Democrats elected E. C. Anderson Mayor, and the entire Board of Aldermen on the 22d. NEWS ITEMS. The 11. S. Senate passed a civil rights bill on the 21st, two Conservatives voting aye. Wonder if this bill guarantees any rights to the white people of the South. The Modoc Indians whipped out the U. S. troops recently. Foster the New York car-hook murder er has been found guilty of murder in the first degree. It seems likely New York will have some hanging soon. Never too late to mend. Woodhull and Claflin are again in jail, poor fellows ! Congress has passed a bill abolishing the positions of Admiral and Rear Admiral in the Navy. In the contested election case from 2d S. C. Congressional district in the House of Representatives, the committee declared that neither Bowen or DeLarge is entitled to a seat. DeLarge has occupied his seat for nearly two years. The Arkansas Legislature has elected S. W. Dorsey to the U. S. Senate, the Demo crats voting for him under promise of sup porting reform measures. Of course he will. A bill has been introduced in Congress repealing the bankrupt act. It has already passed the House. The caual bills have been made the spe cial order for February 13th in the House. The action of the House is regarded as highly favorable to these enteprises. The lock in the Alabama Legislature con tinues. Piochback, the negro Senator from Louisiana, is a native of Georgia. It is thought the present Congress will increase the pay of members to eight or ten thousand dollars per annum. The Satnana Bay Company goes out of its way to publicly assert that Grant has no pecuniary interest therein. Nobody sus pected it before; everybody knows it now. An old lady in Wisconsin lately van quished a large black bear with an umbrel la. How long had the bear carried the um brella ? The total amount paid to the United States Treasury for cotton tax, while that tax was in existence, was $68,072,338. A blind man at Pomfret Hills, Connect icut, now thirty years of age, has lived on milk since he was born. Who has not ? Roscoe Conkling has been re-elected U. S. Senator from New York. Advices from Peru and Lima report the small pox terrible. By the Raleigh Era : “John L. Tucker, of this city, killed a robin, the other day, and, as he pulled the little fellow’s head off, he discovered something hanging out of its neck like a snake, and he pulled it out, and it was a water moccasin snake eighteen inch es long.” Love Sickness —lt is a growing dis ease ; and people who have it bad bite their lips and bite each other’s lips. They like solitude, and meditate a great deal on solitude sweetened. That’s what makes it so bad when it be comes epidemic like the horse disease. It breaks up society; breaks up families ; breaks up old friends! ips and breaks a good many hearts. But it isn’t such a very bad sickness to have, after all. It don’t take a fellow right off from his feet like the ague. It’s a little warming to the blood, but it don’t burn like a typhoid fever. It don’t require quinine, nor jalap, nor squills, nor any other bitter stuff. Bitters could never keep company with anything so sweet. STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE HO USE. Judiciary—Pierce.

The Chicago Tribune, gives the following definition of “Credit Mubilier:” A correspondent asks the meaning of the words “Credit Mubilier ” (Several Con gressmen have asked the same quest! n.) We presume he wishes to be informed con cerning the original derivation and use ot the term. We will endeavor to explain it. The “Credit Fonder” has long been the general title in France for associationr that advance moucy on lauded or immovable se curities. The “Credit Mubilier” was the name given to a powerful corporation, oi gauized in France in 1852, for advancing money on movable property. The name was adopted evidently with the purpose of affording a ready definition of the object of the association. The “Societe Generale de Credit Mubilier” became a great and profit able enterprise. It had special privileges under its charter. It assisted materially in the construction of railways and the pro motion of mining schemes. Among other enterprises in which it was notably interest ed were the Government loan on account of the Russian war, the Grand Central Railway Company, and the Geueral Omni bus Company, of Paris. At one time, it advanced 250,000,000 francs, and at anoth er time 375,000,000 francs, to the French Government. Its business was so great in 1855 that it declared a dividend of 40 per cent, on its capital. While it was manifest ly the means of doing much good in Francij, it eventually failed. The introduction of the term “Credit Foucier” and “Credit Mobilier” into Amer ica are due to Mr. George Francis Train. He established a “Credit Foncier” with Omaha lands, which he hawked about the country some years ago. He gave the name ot‘“Credit Mobilier of America” to corporation with universal privileges, which was organized in Pennsylvania. It wap appropriated by Messrs. Oakes Ames, I>4 rant& Cos., to serve as the party of th| third part in the famous “triplicate agree ment,” by which the managers of the Unioji Pacific railroad let out the contract of build ing the road to themselves, in payment hr which they modestly took the road itself, a 1 the United States bonds, ail the Unitali States lands, etc., at a profit of over I,o® per cent., on an entirely fictitious capi'afl. This is what “Credit Mobilier” means, id the modern American and Congressional use of the word. The title is not inappro priate. The transaction was literally!v Credit on Movables—the United States Government furnishing the credit and the money, and Messrs. Oakes Ames & Cos. taking the movables—that is, the securities and the profits. LEGISLATURE. The following bills have been introduced in the Senate : To provide a way for Justices of the Peace to collect insolvent costs; to fix the election of Representatives to Congress ou the first Wednesday in October; to amend the act prescribing the manner of incorpor ating towns ; to secure a speedy trial in criminal cases, and providing that where a homicide is committed the Governor shall send a Judge to try the case without delay # The following bills passed : To change the constitution so as to require citizens to be residents of the State twelve months be fore voting ; to extend the provisions of the bill to encourage woolen manufactories and iron manufactories; to provide for the re turn and payment of taxes on wild lands; aud to amend the laws in reference to kill ing stock. In the House, to change the time of the Legislature to the second Wednesday in July; to repeal the act to protect people in the sale of kerosene oil; to organize an insurance department and providing for an insurance Commissioner ; to regulate prac tice in the Supreme Court; to encourage direct trade by authorizing the Governor to offer a subsidy of SIOU,OUU to a semi-wcek ly line of steamers from Georgia to foreign ports, and to establish a Buieau of Immi gration, providing for the appointment of one Commissioner from each Congressional District and one from the State at targe, two foreign Commissioners and one home Commissioner, with his residence at Sa vannah. In the Senate, on the 20th, a bill came up regulating the drawing of jurors in the State. The bill provided for drawing ju rors without discriminating against color. — It was opposed by the Judiciary Committee. Deveuux (colored! supported the bill main taining that it. was an abridgment of the rights of the colored citizens to exclude them from juries. He desired no class leg islation, but demanded that the laws of the United States be heeded. Senator Reese rSplied that Jury Commissioners were sworn officers, and were not guilty of discrimina ting against colored citizens. Because a man was upright and intelligent was no reason that he should not be excluded from the jury room. Thousands of intelligent white men had never served on the jury, because they never had been needed, aud the same was applicable to colored per sons. The bill was lost by a vote of 30 to 4. CANCER CURED IN Ell-TEEN DAYS. There has transpired in this city within the past two weeks one ot the most remark able cases on record, being no more er lea* than the extraction, root and branch, with out pain, and by the simplest of meats, of a large cancer from the left cheek of Mr. C. A. Chase, freight agent at Kansas |!ity, .if the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail e outlets mi. v— ''.discovered about six years ago, a small red spot growing upon his left cheek immediately below the eye. This red spot increased in size, and soou developed one ot those dangerous and most unpleasant boaily afflictions —a cancer. For about two years Mr. Chace has tried every medical advice and treatment, and still the horrible protu berances continued to grow and threatened ultimately to eat the lace and cause him to lose the use of one eye. A council of phy sicians, each of them prominent iu his prac tice, was held a tew weeks ago, when it was proposed to cut the cancer from his face. — This proposition, had it been carried out would have endangered the life of the pa tient, hence it was Dot adopted. About two weeks ago Mr. Chace called upon Professor Kellogg, proprietor of the Turkish Baths on Walnut street, who boldly announced his ability to cure the cancer iu fifteen days it his directions were strictly complied with.— Mr. Chace, glad to avail himself of any re sources for getting rid of his growing cancer consented, and at once went under l)r. Kel logg’s treafmont. lie was placed in the Turkish bath for two hours each day lor seven days, with a temperature of 17U, when it was found that the cancer was dropping out root and fangs entire. It first became red on one side and then burst the skin. Mr Cha'e applied by Professor Kellogg’s advice, a poultice, which aided in drawing the cancer from the cheek. During the fast week his family who reside in West Kansas City, have watched with great anxiety the cure being effected. On Sunday the anxiety was so great that notwithstanding the intense cold weather, Mrs. Chase called at the baths to inform Professor Kellogg that the cancer was about to drop out. Yesterday morning the patient himself brought the cancer in a small vial to Professor Kellogg; and it had fallen out clean, with all its roots and fangs attached, leaving nothing except the ugly indentation in the face where the cancer had been He will now continue to take the baths until the cheek is healed. The cancer, as extracted, is about the size of a hazlenut. It is preserved at the baths for the inspection of the curious. —Kansas City Times. A CLEAR TRACK FOR MR, STEPHENS. A meeting of the Senators, Representatives and prominent citizens of the Eighth Con gressional District was held at the Kimball House this evening—Gen. Toombs in the Chair, and Henry Moore Secretary. It was unanimously requested that Mr. Stephens staud for Congress. The lollow ing gentlemen were present, who signed the request: Senators —Eighteenth District—Cain ; Nineteenth District—Heard; Twentieth District —Gilmore; Twenty-ninth District —Reese; and Thirtieth District—Hes ter. Representatives —Columbi Lamkin and McLean; Elbert—Heard ; Glascock— Brassol; Hart—Turner; Johnson—High tower; Jeffersou—Stapleton and Evans; Lincoln —Tutt ; Hancock—Pierce; McDuf fie—Sturges ; Oglethorpe—Hurt and Wil lingham ; Richmond —Clarke, Foster and Walsh; Taliaferro—Flint; Warren -Du- Bose and Poole ; Washington—Taliaferro and Mcßride; Wilkes—Barksdale and Mat tox. Prominent Citizens —General Toombs, Governor Johnson, Major Cumming, Cos!. Pottle, Johu L. Reid, Henry Moore, J. D. Mathews, B. T. Evans, Judge Hook, Judge Twiggs, Melton Reese, Chas. E, McGregor, Hardeman, Dr. Walton and J. E. Rooney. All the candidates have declined in favor of Mr. Stephens, which leaves him a clear walk over the track. It was decided that there should v >e no Convention, and that Mr. Stephens should stand according to the English custom. Mr. Stephens accepts the nomination, and the Governor was requested to issue his pro clamation for an election forthwith.—.4<- lanta Cor. Chronicle d?

A. Elmore I telegraphs 11. O. Ogden, member o! the Louisiana Committee, at W ashiugton, as follows : “In his statement to the President, as published in telegrams this morning, At torney General W illiams says on the morn ing ol the 22a of November Eluiore pro ceeded with an armed mob and seized the Eighth District Court, belore the hour to which it had adjourned. This statement is utterly false. Having been duly elected Judge of the Eight District Court, by a ma jority ol over ten thousand votes, commis sioned and sworn, I opened the court with out objection. There was no mob present, armed or unarmed. Aaout hall au hour aftewurds J appeared with ex- Sherift Lanuinc, and attempted to take possession of the court. Thereupon I or dered Harper, the recoguized Sheriff of the court, to eject them. This was done, and Harper is the recognized Sheriff of all the courts. ” It is reported that a conference has been held at. Chisel hurst, and it was decided that the Empress Eugenie and Prince Jerome Napoleon should be the political guardians ol the Prince Imperial, and therefore direct the movements of the party. It is saici that no manifesto announcing the intentions of the Bonapartists will be issued, nor will any proclamation be published.
