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. All interested in the Eiberton Reading Club, are requested to meet at their Hall at the next meeting, on the eveningjof Janu ary 30th. Come out all ye that love choice literature and good reading. '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 : The Governor yesterday recommended and the Senate confirmed the following ap pointments : Colonel John L. Harris, Judge of the Brunswick Circuit; Colonel W. D. Kiddoo, Judge of the Pataula Circuit; Al bert H. Cox, Solicitor-General of the Talla poosa Circuit; W. A. Little, Solicitor-Gen eral of the Chattahoochee Circuit; J. T. Flewellen, Solicitor-General of the Pataula Circuit; G. J. Orr, State School Commis sioner; N. J. Hammond as Attorney-Gen eral of the State. + 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 Governor has issue 1 his proclama tion ordering an election iu the Eighth Con gressional District. Would you like to keep up with the state of you country, politically, morally and so cially? Take the Gazette. 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 dist. + These are in the refreshing Western style of personal.*: “Mr. Waggoner found fault with the beef at a Memphis hotel, the other morning, and the coroner made §3 on him.” “Peter Ink, an old citizen of Knox county, Ohio, was blotted out the other day, age 75.
