GEN. DUBOSE.
The speech of Gen. D. M. Dußose, our
representative in Congress, on the Atlantic
and Western Canal seems to have excited
genera! coimnenda ion from the press and
people. It was a masterly argument on the
Constitutional side of that question, and
does great credit to the author. It we have
at. any time fallen short in our meed of praise
to our representative, we ask forgiveness for
our remissness. We have at all times high
ly esteemed General Dußose as a gentle
man of pure character. As our member
he has unquestionably worked faithfully in
behalf of his constituents, though, to speak
candidly, we may have had doubts of his in
tellectual fitness to fill a position which has
in days gone by been honored by some of
Georgia’s ablest and best statesmen. But
his great argument in behalf of this opening
up of internal improvements in which the
South is so vitally interested, removes all
fears of his leaving the halls of Congress
without bearing honors that will reflect
credit alike on him and his constituents.
We take pleasure in publishing a few
short extracts from some of our exchanges,
which will serve to show to what extent his
effort is appreciated in this and other parts
of the State :
This gentleman has signalized his p; nt
term of service in Congress by an elab' .0
instructive and most valuable speech, on the
subject of the great Canal, by which it is
proposed to connect the waters of the Mis
sissippi with the Atlantic through Georgia.
It is a truly statesmanlike measure, cubed
for by the exigencies of internal commerce
between the States, and Gen. Dußose has
set forth its advantages in an able manner.
Constitutionalist.
Gen. Dußose has distinguished his pres
ent term iu Congress by his able advocacy of
the great canal. — Savannah Republican.
The people of Georgia are under weighty
obligations to Hon. Dudley M. Dußose, for
his musterly advocacy of this grand enter
prise, in the United States Congress. On
the 11th inst., he delivered in the House of
Representatives an able and exhaustive ar
gument, showing the constitutionality of
the project—the numerous precedents of a
similar character which are to be found in
the Journals of Congress—and the eminent
ly natioual features of the undertaking
Macon Telegraph & Messenger.
“It has been charged against him that he
was no speaker, and political opponents have
not been wanting who were so lost in their
own sell importance as to publicly style him
‘a sitting member.’ Well, those things are
passed and perhaps we had better have bur
ied them with that past, but we have before
us a document which so completely refutes
the charge, if erroneous charges needed re
futation, that we could not help recalling it.
We allude to his speech upon the Great
Western Canal of Georgia, recently deliver
ed|in the House of Representatives in advo
cacy of National aid to this great enter
prise. The speech is able, thorough and
convincing.”— Wurrenton (Slipper*
The Spanish Imbroglio. —lt seems
difficult, says the Baltimore Sun, to get a
definite idea of our actual relations with the
Spanish Government, even from what seems
to be official data. First, there was the dis
patch upon which we commented some days
ago from Secretary Fish to General Sickles,
and which purported to have been seut
some months since, for which Spain was
rebuked for its laxity in carrying out its
emancipation legislation, and an intimation
given that unless she put down the Cuban
insurrection in a short time the United
States might change its course and disposi
tion towards Spain. Then, when this state
ment has been telegraphed to Madrid, the
Spanish Prime Minister rises in the Cortes
and says that no such communication has
ever been received from the United States.
This is followed by a statement in tho New
York Times, accusing the Spanish Prime
Minister of prevarication, because, though
the dispatch was uot left with him by Gen.
Sickles, it was officially read to him, and
therefore he officially knew its contents, not
withstanding his denial. The next act in
the shifting drama is the publication of an
official letter from Gon. Sickles to Mr. Fish,
in which the situation of the Spanish gov
ernment and its relations to Cuba and slave
ry are discussed with the utmost frankness,
and without any attempt to spare the feel
ings of the Spanish rulers. Next the State
Department disclaims having furnished for
publication this dispatch We now await
the action of the Spanish Government in
sregard to its publication. It is not like-
Jly to improve the feelings of Spain towards
this country, nor to make General Sickles
very acceptable embassador at the Spanish
fCourt.
Personal. —We had the pleasure las
week of receiving a call from our friend
<Capt. T. L. Gantt, editor of the Northeast
Georgian. The Capt. looks quite thin, but
Still he got through our office door by turn
ing sideways and giving a slight squeeze.—
He gives a good account of his paper, which
he says is prospering beyond fc is most' san
guine expectations. The Captain deserves
success in his enterprise, and we trust will
always receive a liberal patronage from the
people of Clarke. He tells a good joke and
publiohes a good paper.

The Savannah Morning News.—
We publish in another column the adver
tisement of the Savannah News. We feel
no hesitation whatever in recommending
this paper, as we regard it as one of the
best papers coming to our office. Spirited,
lively, and full of news, it cannot fail to
please. Besides, it is one of the staunchest
Democratic papers in the whole South.
Another Destructive Fire in Abbe
ville. —On Monday night of last week
Abbeville was visited by another of those
destructive conflagrations, being the third
experienced in that village in little more
than a twelve-month. Six houses were de
stroyed, entailing a loss of about $25,00.
The fire was the result of incendiarism.
That Athens Stove Man. —We mean
the enterprising E. E. Jones, who sent us
a No. 7 cooking-stove of the “Howell Cobb”
pattern a short time ago, and our better
half declares it a perfect gem, equaling any
thing in the stove line ever cooked with.—
If Mr. Jones deals as well with all his cus
tomers as he did with us, we are not sur
prised at his past success, nor will we be at
his increased prosperity in the future.
Small-Pox at Hartwell —There is
a case of small-pox quarantined within a
mile and a half of Hartwell, a negro. Prop
er precautions are being taken by the au
thorities to prevent the spread of this loath
some disease.

PA YING OFF TIIE PUBLIC DEBT.
The Senate on the 24th ult. passed the
following bill for paying off the public debt
of Georgia :
A bill, to be entitled an act to provide for
paying off the public debt of the State,
and to designate and set apart a certain
fund for that purpose and to prescribe
the mode of using the same for said pur
pose.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives in General
Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by
authority of the same; That, from aud alter
the first day of April next, the entire pro
ceeds and net income which the State shall,
from time to time, derive trom the Western
andLAtlantic Railroad, either as rental from
the lessees, or in whatever form it
may be derived from said road, shall con
stitute a fund which shall be used exclusive
ly for the purpose of paying off the public
debt of the State, which shall be used for
said purpose in the manner hereinafter pre
scribed.
Section 2d. And be it further enacted,
That so soon as the sum of $25,000 shall be
paid into the Treasury of the State irom
said road after the first day of Aptil next, it
shall be the duty of the State Treasurer,
under the direction of the Governor, to use
said $25,000 in the purchase of the valid
and recognized bonds of this State, which
bonds shall be purchased at the lowest price
at which they can be had in the markets of
the country; and as each successive $25,000
shall be paid into the State Treasury Irom
said road, it shall be used in the purchase
of the legal bonds of this State, in like man
ner as is heretofore prescribed for the us 6 of
the first $25,000.
Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of the Treas
urer to keep a book, in which he shall enter
the date and amouut of each bond purchas
ed, the iime whtn the same will be due, the
time when purchased, from whom purchas
ed, and at what price.
Sec 4. And be it further enacted, That

of this State which are paid off and dis
charged.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That
all laws and parts of laws militating against
this act be, and the same are hereby, repeal
ed.
The bill provoked a warm debate, which
was participated in by a number of the Sen
ators. Mr, Brown and Mr. Simmons
both favored the bill in pointed speech
es. The bill was opposed by Mr. McAfee
on the ground that it interfered with already
existing appropriations of that fund.
The Dill passed by yeas 22 ; Days 14.
True. —One thing may be said of the
eminent men of all parties who in happier
days represented the South in the councils
of the nation—no suspicion rested on their
personal integrity. They weie often poor
men. They were always honest men. —
They would as soon have handled counter
feit money as have touched the rotten,
speculative forms of corporative credit
which are now a sort of Congressional cur
rency.
Fancy John Gaillard, John C. Calhoun
or Nathaniel Macon dealing in Credit Mo
bilier and being the tools ot Massachusett’s
adventurers. Imagine Jefferson Davis
bribing the Legislature of Mississippi to
elect him Senator! In tho seventy-two
years of our peaceful existence as a nation
no Southern man, and,we are glad to acknowl
edge, very few Northern public men were
even suspected of legislative corruption. It
is only when such Southern men are dis
franchised and proscribed, their places filled
by scoundrels, and the iniquities of all
guarded by unscrupulous party discipline,
that, as now, corruption reigns jubilant.—
This is iudeed the Nemesis of the South.—

A MODEL NEWSPAPER.
The Savannah Daily News
The Savannah Daily Morning Neics is acknow
ledged by the press and people to be the best
daily paper south of Louisville and east of New
Orleans. Carrying with it the prestige and re
liability ot age, it has all the vigor and vitality
of youth, and its enterprise as a gatherer of the
latest and freshest news has astonished its con
temporaries and met the warm approbation of
the public.
During the year 1873, no expense of time, la
bor, and money will be spent to keep the Morn
ing News ahead of all competitors in Georgia
journalism and to deserve the flattering encomi
ums heaped upon it from all quarters. There has,
as yet, been no serious attempt made to rival the
special telegrams which the News inaugurated
some years ago, and the consequence is that the
reader in search of the latest intelligence al
ways looks to the Morning News. The telegraph
ic arrangements of the paper are such that the
omissions made by the geueral press reports are
promptly and reliably supplied by its special
correspondents.
The Morning News has lately been enlarged to
a thirty-six column paper, and this broad scope
of type embraces, daily, everything of interest
that transpires in the domain of Literature, Art,
Science, Politics, Religion, and General Intelli
gence; giving to the reader more and better di
gested matter than any other paper in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the politics
of the Morning News. Foryears and years—indeed
since its establishment —it has been a represent
ative Southern paper, and from that time to the
present, in all conjunctures, it has consistently
and persistently maintained Democratic States
Rights principles, and labtred with an ardor and
devotion that know no abatement, to promote
and preserve the interests and honorot the South
The special features of the Morning News will
oe retained and improved upon during the ensu
ing year, and several new atractious will be ad
ded.
The Georgia News Items, with their quaint
and pleasant humor, and the epitome of Florida
Affairs, will be continued during the year. The
Local Department will be, as it has been for the
past year, the most complete end reliable to be
found in any Savannnh paper, and the commer
cial columns will be full and accurate.
