THE GAZETTE. Wednesday, April 2,1873. Names to be Recorder —According to a classification made by the New York 'limes, the following Southern members ot Congress voted for the grab game, by which the taxpayers of the county were despoiled of nearly two millions of dollars. The names of Democrats and Liberal Republi cans are given in it; lies : Bigby, Georgia; Broadman, Louisiana; Buckley, Alabama; Butler, Tennesse ; Cald well, Tennessee; Cobb, North Carolina; Dußosc, Georgia; Duke, Virginia ; Elliott, South Carolina ; Garrett, Teunessee; Crit cher, Virginia; Darrall, Louisiana; Gid dings, Texas; Callaway, Tennessee; Han cock, Texas; Hanks, Arkansas; Harper, Noith Carolina ; Harris, Mississippi; Hays, Alabama; Herndon, Texas; Leach, North Carolina; Maynard, Tennessee; McKee, Mississippi; Morey, Louisiana ; Morphis, Mississippi; Nihlack, Florida; Pierce, Louisiana; Platt, Virginia; Price, Georgia; ltainey, South Carolina; Rogers, North Carolina; Sheldon, Louisiana; Sloss, Ala bama; Snyder, Arkansas; Stowcll, Virgin ia; Sypher, Louisiana; Thomas, North Carolina; Turner, Alabama; Vaughan, Tennessee; Waddell, North Carolina; Whiteley, Georgia. Of ninety-nine votes which the bill re ceived, forty-one from the South.— The votes of two Southern Democrats could have defeated the scheme. The Southern Democrats, under the leadership of the Nor thern Bayard, Ben. Butler, the New Orleans thief and the insulter of Southern women, went for the bill almost en masse. In the Senate, the vote was as follows: "Yeas-Messrs. Alcorn, Ames, Bayard, Blair , Brownlow, Caldwell, C .moron, Car penter, Clayton, Cooper, Bavin, Flanagan, Gilbert, Goldthwaite, Hamilton of Texas, Hill, Hitchcock, Lewis, Logan, Machen, Morrill of Maine, Norwood, Nye, Osborn, Pool, Ransom, Bice, Itobertson, Sawyer, Spencer, Stewart, Stockton , Tipton, Trum bull, Vickers, West —36.

The President has signed a postal con vention with Sweden and Norway, which es tablishes the following rates cf letter post ages ; To Sweden by closed mail, via En gland or via Germany, nine cents for pre paid letters and fourteen cents for unpaid letters; by direct steamers, six cents tor prepaid letters and nine cents for unpaid letters; to Norway by closed mail, via En gland or Germany, ten cents for prepaid letters and fifteen cents for unpaid letters; by direct steamers, six cents for prepaid letters and nine cents for unpaid letters. -1 _ Filibustering on Mexico. —The Phil adelphia Ledger’s New York correspondent says: “The Washington rumor intimating that a formidable filibustering expedition is afoot, with a view of establishing anew State on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, is not all fancy work, as your cor respondent happens to know. New l r ork is to furnish the money, the Southern and Western cities the men, while the nominal leadership will be a prominent Mexican mil itary governor, acting under the advice of a well known ex-Confederate officer. At Webster Superior Court Judge Clark pronounced the sentence of death on three persons—E. F. Spann, for the killing of his wife, and Susan Eberhart, an accomplice; Spann to be hung on the 11th of April and Susan Eberhart on the 2d of May. Also, Lee Smith, colored, for the murder of his wife, to be hanged on the 25th of April. Also, a sentence on William Sheppard, col ored, for burglary, to five years in the Pen ltentiaiy. The Washington Star says : “These re markable facts are worthy of being noticed —viz., that the Declaration of Independence was first copied from the original draft by an Irishman —Charles Thompson—who was Secretary the first Congress, that it was first read to the people from a window of In dependence Hall, Philadelphia, by an Irish man —Colonel John Nixon—and that it was first printed by an Irishman—John Dun lap." Someone stole tho dockets of the Supe rior Court of Butts county while the Court was in session. Judge Hale offered a reward of SIOO for the thief, and adjourned the Court until the third Monday in July.— The records were afterwards found in a sta ble in Jackson. + Beast Butler's Banditti Condemn ed. —The Michigan State Senate, on Tues day, adopted a resolution condemning the action of Congress in increasing salaries. Hon. J. P. King, the great railroad man, has given to the citizens of Stone Moun tain, through her Council, a large tract of land immediately in front of the depot for the purpose of a public park. For the Gazette.J HE A VEN is a place of joy, prepared for the finally faithful, beyond the Jordon of death; a place where the wicked cease from troub ling and the weary are at rest. It should be of paramount importance to those who feel an interest in the welfare of their nev er-dying and immortal souls constantly to inquire within their hearts, what shall I do to gain this land of rest to the wearied soul. The response is, “Love God and keep his commandments.” Imagine the triumph of the care-worn soldier of the cross when he has fought the guoil fight in the cause of his master and gained the vic tory over the adversary of souls, as in peace he lays his armor by and sails to the ce lestial city with the diadems of honor aud glory entwined on his brow; then, when Jordan’s stormy banks are reached, viewing the landscape o’er, the triumphant soul is made to exclaim, hosanna to the King of glory who gave the victory in the fierce and sanguinary struggle for life everlasting.— In heaven, God the Son forever shines and scattess night away. Under the luminous blaze of light from the divinity of the saints chant the praises of a once crucified but a now arisen Saviour, world without end. In heaven are many mansions ’which shall be occupied by those of earth who run with patience the race set before them ana who are crowned with success at the goal according to the degree of Christian perfec tion attained during their pilgrimage below. Those who attain to the highest degree of perfection in Christian experience shall oc cupy the highest seats in the courts of hon or, and vice versa. Heaven then is a city of refuge to the wearied soul from the trials and troubles of earth ; a land of milk and honey; a land of pure delight; a land where sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more; a land where we shall meet our loved ones and dwell with them throughout a never-ending etern ity. Contemplatiog this land of endless joy and rest we should, as travelers from this to another world, stretch every nerve and press with vigor on to the fertile fields of the New Jerusalem, there to bask our souls in never-ending bliss. “Rise my soul and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Towards Heaven, thy native place. Sun and moon and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove. Rise my soul and haste away To seats prepare above.” A. E. H. MI’STERIO US DISCO VER YON THE SEA. Washington, March 14. The following circular was issued to-day : Treasury Dep’t., March 24. 1873. To the Collectors of Customs and Others : You are requested to furnish this depart ment with any information you may be able to obtain affording a clue which may lead to the discovery of all the facts concerning the desertion of a vessel found on the 13th December, in latitude 38:20, North, and longitude 17:51, West, derelict at sea, and which was towed into the harbor of Gibral tar by the British vessel Deigratta, t.nd there libelled by the salvors. From the log of the abandoned vessel she is supposed to be the American brigantine Mary Celeste, bound from New York to Geneva, and it is supposed she sailed from New York, and that her master was named Briggs. The circumstances of the case tend to arouse grave suspicions that the master, his wife and child, and perhaps t’no chief mate, were murdered in the fury of druukeness, by the crew, wbo had evi dently obtained access to the alcohol with which the vessel was in part laden. It is thought that the vessel was abandoned by the crew between the 25th November and the sth December, and that they either perished at sea or mere like’y escaped on board some vessel bound for some North or South America port, or the West India Is lands. When discovered the derelict vessel was thoroughly sound, with the exception of the boats, which had been injured by some sharp instrument. She was well found and provisioned, and no reason for her desertion was apparent. A sword with the appear ance of blood thereon was on board,, and marks of blood were found upon the sails. The vessel’s documents and chronometer have not been found, but almost the whole of the personal effects of the master and his wife and child, and of the crew, were dis covered in good condition, and books, trink ets, gold lockets and female wearing apparel of superior qua ity, were left untouched in the cabin. The log was completed to noon on the 24th of November. Many other details concerning the matter are in the possession of the Department, which will be furnished on applic ition if necessary W. A. Richardson, Secretary of the Treasury. • Georgia Teachers’ Association.— The Secretary of this Association, Mr. B. Mallon, Superintendent of Public Schools in Atlanta, announces that the next annual meeting of this body will be held in that city on the 29th and 30th of April, and the Ist of May. MORE NEPOTISM. The Chicago Tribune thus denounces the last little family job perpetrated by the Pres ident : Theannouncementjthat Lieut. Fred Grant was about to finish his academic course at one bound, by assuming certain duties in cident to his appointment on Gen. Sheri dan s staff, has alread created a very strong feeling in the city. Not because Fred Grant is coming to Chicago, for that is a matter entirely for Fred Grant’s benefit and the people of this city are generous enough to wish for improvement wherever needed. If society likes Mr. Grant when be comes, Mr. Grant will without any doubt whatever be made aware of it; but if he does succeed in making himself popular, it will uot be through the circumstances which have brought h’tu here, for they are much against him. It is now known that the gal lant officer whose removal is to pave the way to Mr. Grant’s promotion is one from whom Chicago is most unwilling to part, one of her cherished sons, a gentleman in every way worthy of the city’s affection ; who, though quite young, has won by hero ism the exalted position he holds io the army, and by his many social qualities the esteem and regard of his fellow citizens.— General George A. Forsythe is to be remov ed aud reduced to the rank ot Major, and sent to join his regiment in the field, to make room lor Mr. Fred. Grant, a young man of whom nothing is known except that he enjoys the distinction of beiDg the son of a living President of the United States; has traveled to Europe in a United States war steamer, the hills being paid by the peo ple of the United States. No reason is assigned for this change.— There is probably no officer in the country so much esteemed at home a Gen. Forsythe. Nothiug lias ever been done by him to merit such treuctment. It is the duty of a soldier to obey, hut the citizens of Chicago hold that the order is a direct insult to them, and the public feeling at present is as bitter as it cau be. * * * * O * It is a long skip from Second-Lieutenant to Lieutenant-Colonel, and Mr. Fred Grant is to make that skip. On what ground this wholesale promotion of a raw West Point graduate should be made at the expense of a brave and sorely-tried soldier, a true gentleman, and as clever a fellow as ever lived, is what the people want to know. The Nutting Bonds.— 11. 11. J., irav eling correspondent of the .Macon Telegraph and messenger, has been to Atlanta recent ly. While there he picked up ab<u‘ headquarters the following information as to the sale of the late issue of State bonds m y known as the “Nutting Bonds.” He says : The sale of the $1,200,000 eight psfr cent, bonds, authorized by the Governor and Legislature is progressing very favorably. From the gallant old Treasurer, Oapt John Jones, who did not hesitate to take Uncle Sam by the beard in the midst of his armed myrmidons, we learn that 850,000 have been sold at his office alone, within the past three days. And what was especially note worthy, those maturing at the longest date seemed most in request. This is a proud tribute to the Empire State by her loyal sons. One county, Elbert, had invested $3,500 of trust funds in these reliable secu rities. The reports from Macon and other points are also encouraging, and it is hoped that the whole amount will be taken with out difficulty by parties residing within the iimits of the State. So far, every transac tion has been at par, and for the honor ot Georgia it is to he hoped not one of these bonds will sell for less. True, the abstrac tion of this large amount from the limited available capital of the State will tighten the monetary situation, but our patriotic peo ple must make up the deficiency by re trenchment and increased economy in personal expenditures. A little self-denial is all that is necessary. No Usury Laws in Georgia. —At the late sesssion of the Legislature the usury laws of this State were repealed. Under our present law the borrower is free to ob tain money at any price, but the sum to be paid as interest must be stipula ted in ihe written contract. The text ot the act, which has been made a law, is as follows : An act to repeal the usury laws in this State, and to fix the rate of interest in cases where the contracting parties make no con tract in writing in reference thereto. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate aud House of Representatives in General As sernbly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this act, all laws in this State upon the subject of usury be, and the same are hereby repealed. Sec. 2. And be it furthes enacted, That the rate ot interest in this State, when the same is not agreed upou in writing by the parties, shall be seven per cent, per annum, as heretofore allowed by law. Sec. 3. Whenever the parties to any note, bond or bill, or other contract or evidence of indebtedness which bears interest shall agree ujon any other rate of interest, whether the same be more or less than seven per cent., and shall insert the amount or rate of interest soagreedupon in the written contract, the same shall be legal and valid to all intents and purposes, aud it shall be tho duty of the Courts of this State to cnfurco such contracts. Sec. 4. And be it turther enacted, That in no case shall more than seven per cent, be allowed, unless the same he provided for in the written contracts. Mr. Belcher, a farmer living in the vi cinity of Millen, was found dead near the Central Railroad track at Millen, on Sun day night the 16th ult. The back part of the skull was mashed in. An engine had a few minutes before been turned upen the turn-table close to which Mr. Belcher was found lying, but it is not known whether he was knocked down and killed by the lo comotive or not. He was not seen by aDy one on the engine, but was discovered a short time after it moved off. Canada as a Coming State. —The Baltimore Sun’s Washington correspondent, under date of Monday, writes that Morton hopes to get an opportunity this week to de liver the speech he tas prepared on his res olution calling for the trade statistics be tween the United States and Canada. It is understood that this speech is more of a po litical than a ccmmercial nature, and it is alleged that in it Mr. Morton will take ground in favov of the annexation of Cana da. It is further said that the Senator docs not, as might be supposed, reflect the views of the President in this matter, hut that it is his keynote for the campaign of 1876, with the view to his own aspirations as a presidential candidate. Well informed parties, however, say in reference to the feeling in Canada on annexation, that there is much less of a disposition there for polit ical association with this Republic than was the case a few years ago. The high taxes, the cost of living, and the present manner of governing the United States, do not seem to suit the tastes of the Canadians. A remarkable series of accidents is rela ted to have occurred one night last week, at Elizabeth, New Jersey. A Mr. Wells had retired for the night, when, shortly after wards Mrs. Wells complained of a feeling of numbness in her limbs andreque-ted her husband to help her across the floor. About halt way across the room he expressed some fears, when she told him not to be afraid, and immediately dropped dead at his feet. He gave an alarm, and a neighbor, an old lady, in crossing the street to his assistance, fell, breaking her left arm in two places and her right collar bone. Her son, a young man, heard her scream, and rushing out. of the house to her aid, fell against the half open door, breaking his nose and rebound ing senseless to the floor. Dr. Kendall, hastening to the help of the sufferers, also two of his ribs, aud had to be carried off. The Southern Census. — At every ses sion of Congress since the close ot the war the effort has been made to secure authority for the payment of the census-takers of 1860 in the Southern States. The effort finally succeded m the last days of the last session, but it does not seem to be generally known, although quite a number of people are inter ested in it. A circular was sent from the census office in Washington on Wednesday to all persons interested, setting forth that “Congress, by an act approved March 3d, 1873, has au thorized the payment, without proof of loy alty of claims for compensation on account of services at the census of I860,” and giv ing instructions concerning the preparation of claims by the claimants or their heirs. Important Decision. — A corespond ent, who was present at the Talbot County Circuit Court recently, reports that Judge James Johnson delivered an opiuion in fa vor of the unconstitutionality of the law which makes it a misdemeanor for one plan ter to hire a treeduian who is already under contract to another. Two cases of this kind came up on the call of the criminal docket yesterday and the day before, and Judge Johnson nolprossed them both. Butler and the Extra Pay. —A Washington letter says: It is given out that General Butler is preparing, and will make public in a few days, a letter on the extra pay business. As is well known, he is charged with “settingup” the whole thing. It is said that in his manifesto the General will make no attempt to deny this soft im peachment, but will assume his full share of the responsibility, and that he proposes to show up, in his characteristic style, the course of some of his colleagues. The New Y"ork Tribune says that al though Foster had never been at all partic ular in his dress, yet finding on this last morning—in this last hour of his life—a button missing from his shirt, he called a prison-keeper, Matthew Daly, and waited patiently while one was sewed on. Then, glancing at his boots, he remarked they “looked shabby,” and had them polished. Another Nathans Case. —Charles Goodrich, a widower, living aione in one of a block of brown stone houses belonging to him in Brooklyn, was found dead in his dwelling with a bullet hole through his head and other marks of violence on his body, the morning Foster was hanged in New York. An entire block of wooden buildings, on the public square in Madison, was con sumed by fire on the 15th. The property was owned by A. G. Foster and Lester Mar ham. The loss on merchandise was light and there was some insurance on the store. The total loss is about twelve thousand dol lars. To be Carried Up. —The recent decis ion of Judge Erskine, establishing as a rule ot his court the right and duty ot the Uni ted States Marshal to draw negroes as jury men, is likely to be reargued before Judge Woods. If the decision is again unfuvora blc, it is said that the case will be earned to the Supreme Court. General Garlington of Atlanta has writ ten a drama, said to possess a high order of merit. It is now in the hands of the prin ter, and will soon appear. It embraces the period of Beast Butler’s reign in New Orleans, aud will no doubt create a sensation. The Public Engineer in Washington says he will arrive in Atlanta about the first ot May to arrange the details, and will in time commence the new customhouse build ing. The maddest man in Camden is Smith. He wound up his clock reglariy every night lor fifteen years, and then discovered that it was an eight-day clock. Rev. S. S. Wilson, D. D., Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, was stricken by apo lexy on Tuesday, and in is a critical condition. Dr. Wilson is near eighty years of age. “Mamma,” said an intelligent little girl, “what is the meaning of a book being prin ted in 12mo?” “Why, my dear,” replied the mother, “It means that the book will be published in twelve months.” two GRAND OPENING!
