The New Male Academy.-— The con
tractor is pushing the work on this building
with a vim, and the prospect uow is that
we shall, in a few weeks have a school
building th* will reflect great credit alike
on the town aud on the gentlemen who sub
scribed so liberally of their means for this
good purpose.
In this connection we will mention that
the committee are now in need of means to
carry on the work. It is hoped that those
who subscribed will come forward and pay
their subscriptions, so that the work may
not be retarded. The committee consists
of John H. Jones, S. D. Blackwell, and T.
J. Bowman, either of whom are authorized
to receive and receipt for paymeuts.
Injured by a Gin. —Our young friend
W. H. H. Heard, had his left hand badly
injured by having it cut by gin saws last
Friday. Although one or more ol his fin
gers were nearly severed from the hand, the
doctors think they can be saved, though
wc suppose the usefulness of the injured
hand will never be fully restored.
Cheap.—An enterpri-ing gentleman, of
our town, whose business is away from
home, sayF its so cheap to live if you only
kuew how. He says that one day, just for
luck, he made an estimate of what his bo-rd
amounted to. After some thought, and a
small calculation, he found that it amounted
to only 77 cents per week. He indulged
in some of the luxuries of life, and like
the “big injun eats much.” Wonder if
he’ll take boarders.
Gin House Burned in Abbeville.—
McCalla’s gin house, in Abbeville coun
ty, S. C., near the Savannah river, was de
stroyed by fire last Wednesday night,
together with twelve bales of cotton.

'IIIE LEGISLA TUUE.
In the Senate, on the 25th
The bill to provide for reducing the Judi
cial Circuits was indefinitely postponed by
yeas, 20, to nays, 11.
The bill to regulate the tax law was
amended and passed. It provides that the
Tax Receiver of every county, when a tax
payer comes before him, shall require such
tax payer to take two distinct oaths—one to
return the true market value of his or her
property on the first day of April, and the
other to ansv. er all such questions in rela
tion to his or her property, its kind, prices
and products, as shall be the
Tax Receiver —the same having been pre
viously prepared by the Comptroller Gener
al, by the advice of the Governor and the
Attorney General. If the tax payer then
returns'property under what the Tux Recei
ver considers the maiket value, he must
proceed to reassess him or her.
The bill provides that after the Tax Re
ceiver has made up his digest his books shall
then be submitted to a Board of Revision.
This Board is to be composed of three per
sons selected, by the Judge of the Superior
Court in each county, tor their intelligence,
integrity and skill in ousiness. Their duty
shall be, after having taken an oath to exe
cute the duties of their office, to revise the
digest and reassess all persons who in their
judgment have not returned property at its
full market value. The Board has power
to examine parties under oath or otherwise;
and also power, if they find that the Receiv
er has performed his duties ignorantly, im
perfectly, or corruptly, to recommend the
Governor to remove him.
After the present Tax Receivers go out
of office their successois shall be elected for
four years, and not be re-eligible at the next
term.
In the House—
The contested election case from Hart
county occupied considerable time.
The evidence before the committee show
ed that 21 illegal votes were cast.
The committee recommended that Moses
A. Duncan be unseated, and that Allen J.
Turner be declared the legal Representative.
The report was agreed to, and Mr. Turner
was sworn in.
Would Only Be Elected on the
White Man’s Ticket.— Col. J. R. Pow
ell, known as the “Duke of Birmingham,”
has been elected Mayor of Birmingham,
Ala., and received more votes than his three
competitors put together. In a published
card the morning of the election, he stated
that he was running on a white man’s ticket.
He was opposed iD toto to an admixture of
white and negro alderman, and said if Bir
mingham elected such a ticket he would
leave the place. He wanted a white man’s
government and would not live under any
other, and he had no respect for any man
who desired any other.
Terrible Collision. —Report of a ter
rible marine disaster on the night of the
22d was received at London on the 23d.
The London emigrant ship Northfleet, which
sailed front London several days ago for
Australia, with four hundred and twelve
passengers, exclusive of her crew, was in
collision at midnight, two miles ojj Dungess,
with a portugese craft, and was cut to the
water’s edge. Only eighty-five persons are
known to have been saved. It is believed
every other persou who was on board has
found a watery grave. No attention was
paid by the steamship to the emigrant ves
sel after the collision, and she proceeded
on her course, leaving the sufferers to their
fate.
Atlanta Constitution, 24 th :

A medical expert in Georgia wisely re
frained from examining a mortally wounded
man very closely for fear that counsel for
the defense would prove the murder to have
been done by his probe.
A newspaper of lowa City gives rather a
discouraging account of what the farmers
in those “diggins” are doing, or rather not
doing. Here is the price current: A pair
of winter boots costs two loads of potatoes;
a night’s lodging a load of oats; the wife
wears five acres of wheat; the children
each ten acres of corn ; the price of an
overcoat is a good four year old steer ; of a
Sunday suit, twenty fat hogs. The farm,
too, wears a mortgage tpet is worse than
hard-pan to the soil, and the annual tax rots
the roof faster than rain.
A California widow importuned the Sher
iff of San Francisco to grant her an inter
view with the murderer Donovan the day
before that individuals execution, in order
that she might commission him to hunt up
her deceased husband in the spirit world,
“and request him, and, if necessary, compel
him, to keep away from her and mind his
own business.”
A court martial at Louisville found Gen
eral liunkle, late a Freedman's Bureau func
tionary, guilty of fraud upon negro soldiers.
He was sentenced to pay a fine of $7,000
and to the penitentiary for four years, with
another four year, unless the fine is paid,
and to be cashiered.

The following we clip from Mr. Punch’s
Almanac for this year: Doctor —“I am
pleased to say, Mrs. Fitzbrowne, that I
shall be able to vaccinate your baby from a
very heal'hy child of your neighbor, .Mrs.
Jones —” Mrs. Fitzbrowne —“Oh, dear,
doctor? I could not permit that We do
not care to be mixed up with ihe Joneses
in any way.”
Yankee Verdancy.— The New York
Commercial Advertiser, alluding to the
statement that forty-three gin houses have
been burued in Georgia during the present
cropping season, says:
“The keepers of gin dispensaries are very
stupid in Georgia. Forty-three of their
places have been destroyed by fire within
the last four mouths, and still the number
swells. The reason of this must be appar
ent to all, and, it would be thought, most
apparent to the keepers thereof. There
fiery liquid “combusts” spontaneously, and
the wonder to us is there are not more
deaths like Krook’s and Jacob Faithful’s
father in Georgia than there is. But
the cause doubtless is, the liquor burns up
before an opportunity is given for driuk
ing it,”
Foster Blodgett’s Securities, —Both
branches of the General Assembly received
a message from the Governor, in which he
stated that Mr. Madison Bell during his
Oomptrollership had caused to he issued two
writs on the securities qf Foster Blodgett
to satisfy two Ji fas against Blodgett, each
for over $25,000. In the communication
the Governor states that these securities had
denied Blodgett’s indebtedness to the State,
aud for that reason the Governor had order
ed the suspension of the writs until the
meeting ot the General Assembly. The
communication with accompanying docu
ments was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
The Victims of African Slavery.—
The Montgomery Advertiser states the case
thus :
The Africans, in their native jungles, af
ter three thousand years of freedom, have
not aeveloped enough intelligence to build a
bridge. But after one hundred amid the
horrors (?) of slavery they have all at once
been iound competent tc make and adminis
ter laws for the most enlightened people on
the globe ! Now who will deny that slavery
was a terrible curse to tire negro?
An Important Work. —We are in
formed, from what appears to us to be a re
liable source, that Dr. Bledsoe, the able
editor of the Southern Quarterly Review,
has been employed to write a work on “The
True Position of the Southern People in the
Lute Civil War.” Mr. W. W. Corcoran,
the banker of Washington, D. C., so well
known for his liberality, will place 810.000,
if necessary, at the disposal of Dr. Bledsoe
for his remuneration aud the expenses of
publication.— Baltimore Episcopal Metho

Not New. —The Charter Oak Stoves were in
troduced to the publie twenty years ago, and the
demand tor them has increased with each suc
ceeding year.
The Excelsior Manufacturing Company is now
