COLUMBUS:
Holiday MornliiK, January ‘4N,
LARGEST CITY < IKCUL ATIO-V.
• We understand that two persons were arres
ted In this city yesterday, on suspicion of be
ing connected with the robberie of ‘I hursdny
night.
“A Citizen.”
We publish the communication over this sig
nature this morning. Believing its general
scope was fully met and answered by our edi
torial of Saturday, we will only notice briefly
one or two of its points.
It will be seen that our correspondent con
founds the agreement as to the security given
to Patton and Mustian for the re-payment of
the $‘,5*1,000 in case the injunction should be
such an “impediment” ns to prevent the city
consummating its part of the contract, with
the contract itself. If the sale of the entire
1800 shares (so expressed verbatim) could not
be consummated by the Council, then the 1000
shares were to be transferred to P. and M. to
socure them the rc-paymcnt of the loan ; but
if the Council (the new one) could carry out
the original oontruct, then the $26,000 was to
be taken as the first payment, and no interest
should ho charged on it. This will be clear to
any one who will examine the instruments pro
duced.
The contract, and resolution ‘reaffirmed by
tho new Council may truly “by its very lan
guage have treated tile contract of the previous
Council an not consummated but it bound
the body to consummate it if in its power.
Hence, too, the propriety of the transfer of the
1000 shares as security—simply to meet the
contingency of the Council’s inability to com
ply with its part of the bargain.
The proposition that thlscontrnct resembled
the ease of one Legislature passing amend
ments to the constitution and having no power
to bind its successor to concur, is altogether
erroneous; there is no nrmlogy whatever be
tween the two cases, because in the one no
contract would exist, and no one would have
rights violated by a non-compliance ; while in
the other, there is a party reposing on the
good faith of the city, having rights involved,
and legally ns well as morally entitled to have
them respected.
If the late municipal election turnod on the
question of affirmance of tho contrswt of the
old Council, we arc entirely ignorant of the
fact. We supposed that Mayor Wilkins was
nominated and elected as the candidate of a
national party, and that party politics had
much more to do, also, with the election of the
Aldermen than any local question.
.. -♦ . ..
A Waste of Ammunition.
Someimportinentandwould-bc-thoughtsumrt
scribbler in tho Enquirer of Saturday, takes
us to task for our inquiries in relation to tho
advertisement of the city authorities proposing
to sell the stock of the Muscogee ltail Hoad.
In his verdancy, or in a reckless attempt to im
pose on tho public credulity (not knowing the
author, we cannot say which of these influ
ences constitutes the animus of his article), ho
lays bofore tho public a copy of an instrument
relating to and providiug for tho security of tho
$26,000 advanced by Patten and Mustian, in
the event that tho injunction or other “imped
iment” prevented the consummation of tho
contract previously agreed upon: and this he
parades as the real and only contract made by
the now Council with those gentlemen. Now,
Wo have already published the conditions of
tho contract previous!;/ made by the new Coun
cil with Patton and Mustian, which expressly
and literally includes eighteen hundred shares,
or tho whole interest of tho city, of this stock,
and by which the city bound itself to take such
loan in part payment for the 1800 shares, pro
vided the injunction was dissolved and no im
pediment restrained it from consummating the
contract. If the transfer of tho 1000 shares
had not been made (as evidenced and condi
tioned by tho agreement published by this
writer), what security would l’atten and Mus
tian have held, other than the note Y and why
should not they, as well as Smith and Patrick,
have a pledge or conditional transfer of stock
to soenro their loan? Hut this transaction is
too clear to need further explanation.
The authorship of the queries in our paper
is a question which concerns us, and not tho
writer lu the Enquirer or tho public—the facts
statedarefortheconsiderationof the hitter. If,
however, any one feels aggrieved by the course
of our paper, he will huvo no difficulty in fluff
ing nn author for its editorials, by proper ap
plication.
Wo suspect the Enquirer’s correspondent to
be one who is disanppointed in tho hope of
driving a hard bargain with tho city, but a pro
fitable ono for himself, in the transfer of its
stock, and who would really regret but little its
losses or sacrifices, provided he could be a
gaiuev thereby.
Out Os its Latitude!
Tho lloustou Telegraph of the 18th iust. an
nounces that the Brazos river, at Waco, was
frozen over so hard that wagons and teams
could pass ovor on the ice. Think of that, in
latitude 32 ! Can’t some ingenious Yankee in
vent a “masheeu” forcoutiniug the cold weath
er “to hum” and thus protecting the ice crop ?
Massachusetts will suffer else, as the South
has commenced growing this winter crop for
herself.
Removal of tho Florida Indians.
The Tallahassoe Floridian announces that
the Oonoral Government has resolved to adopt
stringent and adequate means for the prompt
removal of tho Indians from Southern Florida,
and that the Governor of Florida has tendered
to Col. Monroe five oompanies of volunteers for
this purpose.
l’rof. Gcdcon requests us to call attention
to his card eoucorning tho attempts made by
other persons to palm off inferior Glasses as
the genuine “Scotsch Pebbles.” The Profes
sor will visit Columbus in person, in a short
time, when even those who are nearly blind
will no doubt be enabled to see for themselves
the superiority of his Glasses.
We were decidedly impressed with the great
usefulness of the work, on examining a copy
of “ Lippincott’s Gazetteer ot the World.” It
is an exceedingly voluminous and comprehen
sive work of over 2100 pages, giving the cor
rect pronunciation of 100,000 proper names
of all t lie languages of civilized nations— their
derivations —descriptions of the places named,
Ac. We found it remarkably correct with re
ference to the several places to which wc turn
ed. It lias also general rules for the pronun
ciation of the names of the different languages,
which arc very useful and instructive, and
make the work a complete one of its kind. It
will be found a valuable addition to any libra
ry, however well supplied with encyclopedias,
dictionaries, &c.
To tlic of tin* Sunr
In your editorial column of Thursday last,
under the head of “Tho City’s Muscogee Rail
Hoad Stock —Again,” 1 find an article which
has been construed by some into a reflection
upon the present Mayor and Council of our
city.
Now, 1 think you have inadvertantly, and
from a misapprehension of the facts, done in
justice to our “City Fathers.” Youspoak of
the Council having “unanimously re-aftirmed”
t), *’ contract and resolution acccptiug the
proposal of Messrs. Fatten and Mustian for
the loan of $26,000,”. and seem to consider
that re-affirmation as equivolent to a sale of
the City Railroad stock to Messrs. Patten and
Mustian. Avery slight examination of the
“published proceedings” of Council will satis
fy you that you have misapprehended the facts
of the case.
That “contract and resolution” was for
the borrowing of money ($20,0(10) from Mes
srs. Patten and Mustian, and pledged “as
security for the payment thereof, a transfer of
the stock now held by Smith A Patrick in
pledge for the payment of the draft of the city,
discounted by them for $31,000.” The”“con
tract and resolution” then, refers to the con
tract for the sale of the City’s Hail Road stock
partially made by the preceding Council to
Messrs. Patton and Mustian, and which was
at that time “enjoined” ; and provides that if
said contract “should be set aside, the city
must pay us (Patten and Mustian) interest on
said sum of money : but if the said injunction
should be dissolved, and no impediment should
exist to the consummation of the contract,
then upon the transfer of the stock to us,
(Patten and Mustian) under said contract,
prior to the Ist day of February next, the
$20,000 shall be considered as a payment made
by us in pursuance of said contract, Ac.” Here
wo have the sum and substance of the “con
tract and resolution” spokeu of by you as hav
ing been “unanimously re-affirmed,” and by
its very language it treats the contract of tho
previous Council as not consummated. Thus
you will perceive, Mr. Editor, that your arti
cle is calculated, unintentionally, onyour part,
to mislead the public mind, and subject the
present Mayor and Council to unjust criticism.
1 have every confidence in the present Mayor
and Council, and believe they will honestly do
what they believe for the best interests of
city, and at the same time will not act in “vio
lation of good faith” towards Messrs. Patten
and Mustian or any one else.
The contract for the sale of the city Rail
Road stock was pussed by one meeting of the
Mayor and Council of last year, in a very hur
ried mannoi*. just before tho terms of their of
fices expired. Before the next regular meet
ing of Council the parties wore enjoined, and
that Council went out of existence before said
injunction was dissolved. 1 believe it is admit
ted by all that a contract of that character and
magnitude cannot, under the law, be made by
our Mayor and Council, except by being pass
ed at two regular consecutive meetings, and
published between those meetings in someone
of the city papers. This has not been done by
the last or present Council.
If these be, and I believe they are, substan
tially the facts, then there has been no sale of
the stock to Messrs. Patten and Mustian, and
the present Mayor and Council have the per
fect right to take such steps for tho sale of
said stock as in their judgments may be for
the best interests of the city and as may be
warranted by the law.
Hut it has been urged, 1 am told, by some,
that the present Mayor and Council are moral
ly bound to carry out the contract which was
not consummated by their predecessors, and
this moral suasion argument is urged mainly
by persons who are supposed to be retained
counsel of the parties. If this supposition be
true, then it is surely a very proper channel
through which the Mayor and Council should
he instructed ns to the moral obligation resting
on them in this matter. It might as well be ar
gued that because our Legislature should pass an
act altering the Constitution of the State, the
next Legislature is morally bound to re-pass it
and thereby make it a part of the Constitution.
The two cases are exactly analogous; and
what would be thought of a legislator who
should act under such a snppescd moral obli
gation ?
The Council of last year were not elected
with reference to the sale of all this stock, —
The present Mayor and Council w ere elected
while the public mind of the city was under
high excitement on the subject, and a large
majority of our people, as evidenced by that
election, are opposed to a consummation of
tlmt sale. If, then, there is no legal nor mor
al obligation to make this sale, and if the stock
can command “ $90,” the present Mayor
and Council will subserve the true ends for
which they were elected by obtaining that
price instead of a fraction over SB3, which is
the price, 1 believe, offered by Messrs. Patten
and Mustiau. A CITIZEN.
It is now stated that the reports of the re
cent disturbance at Easton, Kansas Territory,
wore much exaggerated, and that really no
one was killed, and very little damage done in
the broil.
A Dr. Parker, who has a plantation on the 1
San Jacinto river, Texas, reports through the !
papers that he kills a hear every day, and that
recently he obtained 130 pounds of leaf fat
from oue of them.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Monday, Jau 21.
lu the Senate. Mr. Allred,of Pickens. moved
to reconsider the bill providing for annual ses
sions of the General Assembly, passed Satur
day. The motion failed, nnys ‘>3—ayes 31.
Judge Cone’s bill, entitled “An act limiting
the time in which suits in the Courts of Law
in this State must be brought, and also tiie
time in which indictments are to be found Ac.,
was taken up. Nearly all day was spent upon
the bill, and after various amendments it was
passed. It is a very lengthy bill, prescribes
! the limit in all imaginable cases, and being
strictly a legal one, more interesting to the Bar
than the public.
The Georgia Military institute bill, which
was so amended as to provide for a State ap
propriation of $5,000 annually, wa- taken up,
and debated until the adjournment.
The House of Representatives first look up
the bill confering on the city authorities ol
Atlanta.the power to prohibit, restrict and reg
ulate the retail traffic in that city : and after
being amended so as to require a vote of the
citizens, it was passed by ayes 85, nay 45.
The next business was the consideration of
the bill giving State aid to the Ellijay Railroad
Company, who have projected a road to run
from some point on the State Hoad, between
Marietta and Calhoun, via. Ellijay, to the Cop
per Mines in Gilmer county. After much de
flate, the bill was laid over until to-morrow.
The following new bills were introduced :
By Mr. Montgomery, of Newnan —To give
lumber men, lumber merchants, sawyers, stone
cutters, brick-makers, and all other persons,
furnishing materials for the erection or repair
of buildings, the same lien now enjoyed by
masons and carpenters.
By Mr. Smith, of Union —To provide fertile
payment of I’apt. Samuel Patterson’s Company
of “Union Mounted Yolvnteers,” for services
rendered in 1838, in the Cherokee country.—
The sum named is SIO,OOO or so much thereof
as may be necessary ; the pay to be the same
as is allowed U. S. mounted men. The term
of service was fifty-three days.
By Mr. Lawton, of Chatham—To cede to
the United States jurisdiction over certain ter
ritories in the city of Savannah. The territo
ry is flic site for a Light House, which the
United States intends to construct in Savan
nah.
15y Mr. Owen, of Talbot—To facilitate the
collection of open accounts by changing the
rule requiring the production in Court of the
original book of entry. The bill gives efficien
cy to a transcript from the books, duly attested
before any legal officer, authorized to adminis
ter an oath.
By Mr. Wood, of Fannin —To incorporate
the “Cherokee Baptist Georgia Convention.”
By Mr. Butts, of Baldwin —To fix Coroner’s
fees for burying paupers, (includiuggrave-dig
ging, coffin and grave clothes), at S2O, instead
of the sum heretofore allowed.
By Mr. Jones, of Muscogee—To authorize
the Mayor of Columbus to issue new bonds for
the city stock in the Columbus Gas Light Com
pany, with interest payable semi-annually, to
supersede the bonds issued in 1853.
Also, a Bill to repeal all laws now of force
in this State, which directly or indirectly pro
hibit the introduction of slaves into the State.
Bill Passed. — A bill to refund to the Bank
of the State of Georgia, $3,319.08, wrongful
ly paid into tho Treasury, as taxes on Bank
stock owned by the State.
Tuesday, Jan. 22.

erable time on the Georgia Military Institute
bill, which was not finally disposed of.
The following bills Were introduced :
By Judge Cone, of Greene—A bill providing
for the election of Delegates to meet in Mil
lcdgeville on the first Monday in May next, by
the people of the State, who are to meet in
in Milledgevillc in Convention on the 3d Wed
nesday in June next, “to revise and amend
the present Constitution, or form and make a
new Constitution.” Each county to be enti
tled to as many Delegates as it is to Represen
tatives in the General Assembly,. The consti
tution adopted by it to be submitted to a vote
of the people on the first Monday in October
next.
Also, a bill giving the legal Representatives
of Tax Collectors the power to collect from de
faulting tax payers any unpaid tax for which
they may have accounted into the county or
State Treasury, and who have incurred losses
on tho bonds, to the exclusion of any otherde
mand.
By Mr. Camden, of Cherokee—A bill requi
ring Tax Receivers and Collectors, to visit the
houses of widows in their counties to receivo
a list of taxable property and collect taxes;
and to compel the county Treasurers of the
State, to make a report to the Grand Juries of
their eouties, on the first day of every term
of the Superior Court.
By Mr. Gibson, of Pike—A bill dispensing
with the necessity of proving the proper exe
cution of written contracts, in suits ou such

term after the action was instituted.
By Mr. Beaseley, of Troup—A bill providing

By Mr. Ihmnagan, of Hall—A bill to allow
heirs at law, of lawful age, upon the payment
of the decedent’s debts, “to settle estates
among themselves.”
In the House, the Elijay Railroad bill was
the source of a lengthy debate between Messrs.
Pickett, of Gilmer, Wood, of Fannin, Philips,
of Habersham, and Crook, of Chattooga, in fa
vor of, and Messrs. Smith, of Union, Ward, of
Butts, Jones, of Muscogee, and Haynie of
Floyd, in opposition to the bill. Mr. Sherman
moved to include the Thomaston and Barncs
villo Road. Tlie call for the previous question
cut off this amendment.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, offered a subslituto
to create a Board of Commissioners, making
the Governor ex officio President of tho Board,
appointing certain gentlemen named in his
substitute its members, anti submitting to
their determination the settlement of the “Slate
Aid question.” That is, it is provided that
they should recommend to the next Legislature
the passage of such Railroad bills as they
might deem proper. The substitute was ruled
out of order. The bill was lost.
But little else was done in the House. The
discussion of this bill consumed most of the
morning.
In the atternoou, more than a dozen local
and private bills were introduced and read the
first time.
Wednesday. Jan. 23. !
House of Hki kesk.ntavives.—Mr. Haynie
moved to reconsider so much of the journals
ot yesterday as relate to the rejection of the
bill to be entitled an act to lend the aid of the
State to the Ellijay Railroad Company. There i
wa: no discussion of an important nature on
this proposition, the vote upon which was yeas
•1-1, nays 75.
The report of the Treasure!’ presenting the
amount paid to members of the last General
Assembly and the present up to the date ot the
same, was laid before the House. Haynie of
fered a resolution referring tho same to a se
lect committee. Mr. Jones cf Muscogee, pro
posed to amend by requiring one hundred and
sixty copies to be printed lor the use of the
House. This report was made in obedience to
a call for it by the House, and it was suppos
ed that the mover of the call suspected that
some members had drawn more money than
they w'ere entitled to. Ilencc an animated and
warm discussion sprang up. Mr. Ilaynie’s
resolution, with Mr. Jones’ amendment, was
adopted;
Mr. Lawton presented this morning, highly
complimentary resolutions relative to the Hon.
•J. M. Berrien, which after a short eulogy of
Mr. Thornton, upon this great statesman lost
to our country, forever, wore unanimously
agreed to.
An effort was made to pass a rule requiring
the House to meet at 7 i\ m., and adjourn at
9, after Monday next. The yeas and nays were
being recorded when tho Speaker declared tho
House adjourned until 1 o’clock to-morrow.

General Intelligence.
Expectation in Europe was on the tiptoe to
learn tlie issue of the peace propositions, as
the term for receiving tlie decision of Russia
had been extended to the 18tli inst. Never
theless, it was reported iu Berlin and Vienna
that advices had already been received in those
cities, to the effect that tlie Czar would make
no further concessions. On the other hand, it
was stated that formal conferences were iu ses
sion at St. Petersburg discussing thoproposals,
and that they were attended by Nesselrode,
Esterhazy, Seebach and Sommer. The Inde
pendence Beige publishes the text of the pro
positions of the Allies, and the general impres
sion is that Russia will neither accept or re
ject them, but send Count Stakelberg to Vien
na with counter proposals. The latest rumors,
however, were more favorable to the prospects
of peace. Denmark has announced her neu
trality, and stated that slio has no connection
with the Swedish alliance.

The Democratic caucus, Mr. Richardson
having unconditionally withdrawn, have unan

at their first caucus. The American Party
have, also, held a caucus, at which they re
solved that they were ready and willing to
withdraw Mr. Fuller, but stated that they in
sisted on an organization being effected on na

tion arc brightening. The Black Republicans
likewise hold a caucus to-night.
Washington, Jan. 24.
In the United States Senate to-day Lord
John Russell’s letter, of the sth of January, in
which Great Britain denied the intention of as
suming any sovereignty over Central America,
was presented by Mr. Clayton, who character
ized tlie tortuous policy of the British Minister
as monstrous and disgraceful. Mr. Cass was
too unwell to speak. Mr. Mason said that
England would be held to the strict perform
ance of her treaty obligations. Mr. Seward
thought that there should be no unnecessary
delay in settling the controversy. The further
discussion of the subject was then postponed
until Monday next.
We are gratified to perceive that tho steam

For five years past a geological survey of
Illinois has been going on under the auspices
of tho State Geologist, Dr. Norwood. The
annual appropriation to this object at first was
$3,000, but two years ago it was raised to
$5,000, in consequence of the number of the
corps employed and the expensive character
of the work. By this increased appropriation
the survey has gone on four times as far as be
fore, so that the result of the last two years
will show an incresaed expenditure to have
been a measure of economy. During the past
year, Dr. Norwood and his assistants have ex
amined twenty counties, paying special atten
tion to tho northern coal fields. The develop
ments of this survey have now acquired unu
sual importance in all parts of Illinois, in con
sequence of the rapid multiplication of rail
ways running through every section. Wher
ever mineral wealth is found, enterprising
persons will now be ready to work the mines
and convey the product to market.
Woman’s tongue and woman’s curiosity are
not uufrcquently the occasion of mishaps.
Vide the following from a Cincinnati exchange:
A small girl was yesterday induced by seeing
other girls try the experiment, to put her
tongue against a lamp post, on Sixth street be
tween John and Smith. It was some fifteen
minutes before she was released from her un
enviable situation, although hot water and al
cohol were brought into requisition. At last
relief was afforded by a gentleman who was
passing, by placing his band over the tongue
of the child and blowing his breath thereon.
The tongue was very much swollen, and the
girl has not spoken since yesterday.
Gas and Gas Meters.
A singular fact lias just been brought to light
in London, in regard to gas meters. A careful
examination of the gas works iu London has
established this fact, that “ the lower the
quality of gas. the greater the velocity with
which it flows through tho meter; that is, the
quantity registered is increased in proportion
as the quality is deteriorated.”
When the American army moved through
Mexico one of its first institutions was the es

army jockey club, with a permanent fund for
aces wherever the troops may lie encamped.
