Shall Elberton Make no Prepara tions Against Fires. —It has bcou but a abort time siuce our village was the scene of a fire that caused, at the time, grave ap prehensions, as one half ol the public square was supposed to be in daugcr. Directly alter that fire much was said about the.or ganizatiou of a fire company aud the pur chase of necessary apparatus. But the matter soon died out, and now no thought is given to it. Hardly a week passes that we do not have to chronicle a fire in our neighborhood ol greater or less destructive ness. In apathy and sleep we will continue un til we are again brought lace to face with this destructive element; the same prepara tions will be again discussed, only to die out soon after. We caution the people of Elberton that their property is in danger, that in an hour they may become bankrupt, and that it would be Well for them to cobsider and car ry out some means for preventing or extin guishing fires. In the hour of peace pre pare for danger. Our Schools. —It is a matter of con gratulation to the friends of the cause of education in this community that our schools this year have opened under more flatteriug promises than for a number of years past. It is one of the best indications of future prosperity to the whole county that could be given. The friends of the cause have secured the very best teachers the country can afford, and our children can he educa ted and trained for future usefulness as well here as in any college in the State or in the whole couniry. Attempted Incendiarism —One day last week it was discovered that the house of Mr. D. M. Carlton was on fire. Fortum ately the fire had made but little headway, and was scon extinguished. A short time atterwards the corn-crib on the same prem ises was found to be afire, which was also readily suppressed. But little injury was done to either of the buildings. The fire was the work of an incendiary, supposed to be one of the servants on the place. Mill Burned.— The mill belonging to Mr. J. B. Maxwell, situated in the upper part of the county, was set fire and entirely destroyed on Tuesday night ot last week. The property destroyed was valued at $5,000. We are authorized to at nounce that Rev. T. P. Cleveland will preach, (D. V.) next Sunday morning at Flatwoods Academy. Acknowledgments. —We are under many obligations to Hon. T. M. Norwood, our distinguished Senator, for repeated and 'highly appreciated favors. Florida sends S. D. ConoVer to the U. S. Senate. “Poor Carlotta” is dead. Com. M. F. Maury, the great American hydrographer, is dead. The direct trade and immigration conveb* tion meets in Augusta on the 11th. ■ ■ LEGISLATURE. The Senate on the 23d passed a bill to prevent frauds in elections. The bill, in effect, makes the presentation of the tax receipt authority for voting. The bill gave rise to considerable debate, but was finally carried by a decisive majority. The following bills have been introduced in the Senate: To repeal an act amending an act compensa ting Ordinaries, Sheriffs and Clerks of Su perior Courts; also, to pay the fees of Jail ors. To amend the act incorporating the At lantic and Great Western Canal; to provide for the prevention of the detention of live stock on the road on Sunday; to change >he law of evidence; allowing the introduc tion of banks and incorporations in certain civil cases. The Senate, in Executive session, made the following confirmations of nominations sent in by the Governor: Judges—Macon Circuit, Barnard Hill; Ocmulgee Circuit, Geo. T. Bartlett; Flint Circuit, John I. Hall. Solicitors General —Atlanta Circuit, John T. Glenn; North ern Circuit, Samuel Lumpkin; Augusta Circuit, Davenport Jackson; Western Cir cuit, Charles F. Crisp; Oconee Circuit, R. A. Stanley; and Middle circuit, John W. Robertson. Judges, Western Circuit, GeOrge D. Rice; Southern Circuit, A. H. Hansell; Middle Circuit, Herschel V. Johnson. Solicitors General —Macon circuit, C. J. Harris; Rome Circuit, D. Clemons; Western Cir cuit, Emory Speer; Flint Circuit, Thom: s B t Cabaniss; Blue Ridge Circuit, C. J. Wellborn; Southern Circuit, Robert G. Mitchell. The following bills introduced in the House: To prohibit parties convicted of larceny from voting or holding office. To provide for taking agricultural statis tics by tax receivers and collectors, and for the publication of such reports. To make penal horse racing, cock fighting and the use of obscene, profane and oppro brious words, where there are no munici pal corporations. Also for appropriating $30,000 for the payment ot printing claims. To change the law of descent, providing that when a man dies intestate his wife shall only inherit a child’s part. To create anew couuty out of Clarke. The bids introduced by Messrs. Lamp kin, of Columbia, and Tutt, of Lincoln, and the substitute by the Committee on Agricul ture —all prohibiting municipal corporations horn taxing cotton and other agricultural products—being the special order, was tak en up, and the substitute passed. A bill passed authorizing the Superior Courts to draw panels of 41, 46 or 48 grand jurors, as they may deem best. The following bills were reported on favor bly and passed : To repeal and amend the act empowering the sheriff or deputy to ad minister oaths ; to amend the act regulating evidence in the State passed in 1868 ; to repeal the act to prevent emigrants from leaving their employer before their passage money was repaid; to incorporate the Uni versity Bank of Athens. Mr. Harris reported from the committee to examine into the contested election be tween 11. W. Mattox, sitting member, and Tunis Campbell, that the committee found Mr. Mattox entitled to the seat. Report adopted. To provide a fund for the public schools in 1873. It sets apart one-half of the re ceipts from the State Road, poll tax, tax on shows and exhibitions, dividends from tVe Georgia Railroad, and of interest on $3,500,000 of bonds. Costing Seven Cents.— One pound of green copperas, costing seven cents, dissolv ed in one quart of water, and poured down a water-closet, will, says the Industrial Monthly , effectually concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. Ou board ships and steamboats, about hotels and other public places, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green copperas, dissolved uu der the bed, in anything that will hold wa ter, will render a hospital, or any other place for the sick, free from unpleasant smells.— For butchers’ stalls, fish markets, slaughter houses, sinks, or whatever there is offen sive, putrid gases, dissolve copperas and spriukle it about, and in a few days the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies abput the house and sends forth an of fensive gis, place some dissolved copperas in an open vessel, near the place where the nuisance is, and it will soon purify the at mosphere. THE “CREDIT MOBILISE 11 TIQN. A Washington special to the Courier- Journal, dated the 15th,says! The Credit Mobilier investigation loses nothing in interest. Every day some new teature of Congressional rascality is elicited. This morning it appeared that Durant, as President of the Union Pacific, had given ten thousand dollars to procure Senator Har* lan’s election; and to-night, Busbnell, a trustee under Oakes Ames’ contract, swears he gave five thousand dollars to effect Sen ator Thayer’s election from Nebraska. It is thought that this is only a part ot what is coming. Farnsworth’s resolution, adopt ed to-day by the House instructs an inquiry to be made whether any sums were paid by the Credit Mobilier or Union Pacific to any member of the House for services as coun sel; or to effect the election of any member of Congress. It is understood that this how! will catch Conkliug and Ben Butler as coun sel for the company, and Matt Carpenter, whose election as Senator is said to have been assisted in this way. Ben Butler came into the Senate this morning, and was in close confab first with Conklmg and after wards with Carpenter The conference was supposed to grow out of a common interest and peril. There is an ominous rumor in circulation to-day that Oakes Ames will make a clean breast of it, and disclose the names of a good many members as being mixed up in these transactions. It is thought that a fear of exposure will create a powerful interest opposed to Ames’ expul sion, as he would then have no louger mo tiue for concealment. It is stated that Ames denies that Garfield ever repaid him the S4OO he borrowed. McComb is in good spirits to-day. He says that he is entirely satisfied that he has established the truth of the statements made by him and denied by Oakes Atnes, especially as to the list of Congressmen, and that in regard to Brooks, what he stated has been more than borne out by the evidence. McComb thinks the investigation will soon be concluded, and Judge Poland says the same thing. Truth from a Noted Radical.— James Parton, in a congratulatory letter to the New York Tribune on January Ist, has more wisdom and eloquence in the follow ing sentence than we have ever read in the same number of words. He says: “Ignorant suffrage at the South is brutal tyranny. Go to the root of the matter. — The South is our Ireland, and we are tak ing a hellish vengeance upon it. + No pill in the world ever had anything like the circulation of Ayer’s pills. Through out these States, Mexico, and the Central American republic, down the slopes of the Andes, and across the pampas of South America, in negro villages, amid the fervid wilds cf Africa, throughout the jungles of India, and the steppes of interior Asia, over the continent of Australia, and the islands of the Pacific, these pills are known and everywhere used as family remedies for dis eases. With distant nations, tneir wonder ful cures attract more attention than they do at home : for the sentiment of wonder takes a far deeper hold on their minds than the results of a higher scientific skill with us. The amount consumed require seventy five thousand doses a day to supply it. An inspection of the manufactory showed us how this enormous demand is made and sus tained. Added to the consummate skill of their composition, is an extreme care in their manufacture, which at once secures the most perfect material and their most ac curate combination. The consequence is a power and certainty in controlling disease which other remedies never attained.—Bal timore Courier. Time's Test. —Time triesall things, rejects those which are useless, and holds fast to that which is good. Stoves without number have been in vented and patented, but soou gave up the ghost.
