THE GAZETTE. Wednesday, February 5, 1873. 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. MAGAZINES , #c. Demorest’s Monthly combines literary at tractions of a very high order with the most complete array ot Reliable Fashions of any periodical in the country.

Allen of Au gusta seems to excite general regret as well as surprise. Camilla is about to organize a chain gang. What has become ot the proposition to or ganize one in Elberton ? Janauschek, the great German actress, is playing in Georgia. The Herald has made another valuable acquisition to its editorial staff in the person of Mr. Cl.as. W. Hubner. Large exodus of negroes from Southern Georgia to Florida. The widow of the late Wm. C. Dawson, of Greensboro, ha3 a claim of $55,124 before the Southern Claims Commission. The Atlanta Herald very properly pro tests against the laying of the Nicholson pavement in that city. Pavements of that class are the greatest frauds of the present day. Messrs. Tittlebaum and Bukafzer propose to build works to supply Atlanta with water without cost to the city, requiring a charter for twenty years to carry on the water busi ness without opposition. If anybody could carry out this project successfully we imag ine that two such names would prove a suf ficient guaranty. But won't the people howl when their water tax bills are present ed for payment! A negro girl about twelve years old, and living at Mr. Saffold Barwick’s, in Wash ington county, was burned to death a few days since. She was burning trash when her clothing took fire, and before assistance could reach her the flame had done its cru el work. The employes of the Sun office recently, through the manager, Mr. Echols, presented to Hon. A. H. Stephens an elegant moroc co writing case, as a slight testimony of their respect and appreciation of the great statesman. The Savannah Republican, very justly, we think, condemns the course recently practiced by the candidates for Senatorial honors, of making direct personal appeals for the purpose of gaining votes, as in very bad taste. Gin houses burned—John Faulk, Hous ton, thirty bales cotton; Ba#s, Gordon, eight bales; Jos. Grant, Greene. Jack Brown will not contest Phil Cook’s seat id Congress. The town marshal of Greensboro attempt ed to strike a citizen with a stick the other day, when the latter knocked the t. m. down in a very severe manner. The prompt action of Governor Smith in refusing, through Mr. Peabody, to allow his name to go before the Legislature for the Senatorship, was highly commendable. Five-cent cigars are growing scarce iD Atlanta ; hence, the members ot the Legis lature are becoming dissatisfied, and, as they can’t come home, they are in favor of transferring thecapitol to some point where cheroots can be had. Barbers in the Gate City shave the pock et as w r ell as the head. A backwoodsman recently refused to pay a charge of $5.50 for “fixing up,” and a row ensued. An express car on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad is the popular place for ghostly antics. Atlanta sends eleven colored recruits to Grant, Alexander & Co.’s army, one of which is aged twelve years. Addie L. Ballou challenges several rev erend gentlemen, who hold spiritualism in disrepute, to a discussion of its merits. The cotton gin, saw mill and shingle ma chine, belonging to Mr. J. M. P. Hawkins, uine miles southeast of Spring Place, Mur ray county, was destroyed by fire a short time since. Ten bales of cotton in the gin house at the time, belonging to other par ties, were also destroyed. Philip Riley, of Nottinghamshire, En gland, after a three months' inspection of the gold mines in Cherokee, has returned to England with the intention of organizing a company with a capital of $200,000, to develope the veins already opened, and to prospect for more. XevvN Items. Grant expresses himself as being dissatis fied at the election of Gen. Gordon as our Senator. W’ats the hodds ? The Tweed case drags its slow length along in the New York courts. Some of the most villainous disclosures are being made. The naval cadets are expected to pa rade at the inauguration of President Grant. The military in New Orleans have re ceived orders from Washington to recog nize the Radical Kellogg as the legal Gov ernor of the State. The last of a gang of express robbers, the leader, was recently captured in Mo bile. The State Pardoning Board of Florida pardoned 67 convicts during the past year. A heavy Philadelphia firm has establish ed an extensive saw-milling busines at Apa lachicola. They run ten boilers and one hundred saws. A Milwaukie lady had several hundred dollars worth of point lace clipped off her clothing by an adroit thief while she was at church singing “Strip me of the robe of pride ; clothe me in humility.” A masonic excursion trom Pennsylvania to Europe during the Vienna exhibition is in contemplation. The New York Tribune says there is a new epidemic prevailing ; mong the horses in that city. It is pronounced by surgeons to be spinal meningitis, and is said to be the result ot working horses before fully recov ering from the epizooty. The report that Father Ryan, the poet priest, was dangerously ill, is said to be without foundation. George Francis Train is still imprisoned in the New York Tombs, on the charge of sending obscene matter through the mails, refusing to give bail. A wealthy drunkard at Aurora, Illinois, lately got into the wrong house and beat an other man's sick wife almost to death. The National Theatre in Washington has been again destroyed by fire. This makes the third or fourth theatre burned on the same site. Santa Anna, the old cne-le: ged cock fighter and disturber of the peaee, for whom the and 1 has been patiently waiting for a quarter of a century, is still hanging on to thread instead of a hempen cord; and according to last accounts had turned up in New Orleans, invited there probably by Pinchback or Durell. Mrs. Steadman was killed by the Central Pacific Railroad, and her husband apprais ed her at $75,000, though he had never appraised her before. The company rea soned with him and he agreed to take off $74,000. The bill abolishing the franking privi lege, as passed by the Senate, passed—and goes to the President—by a vote of 148 to 48. The bill is pure and simple, speaking alone ot the franking privilege. Among the propositions that the Penn sylvania Constitutional Convention have adopted is one chagiDg the day of the State election to Tuesday, after the first Monday in November, the day on which the general election is held. 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 as each $25,000 or more of said bonds shall be purchased, they shall be returned to the Treasury of the State, and shall there be cancelled or destroyed in such manner as is prescribed by law for cancelling the bonds 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.— Sa v.

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.

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.
