COLUMBUS: LAROBBT CITY CIRCULATION. Mouday Morning, Dec. 7, 1897. gee rending matter on First Page. Omnlbm Bill Defeated. From Col. R. L. Mott who arriredjon the train last night ‘from Millcdgcville, we loam that the State Aid Bill, known as the Omnibus Bill, giving aid to the Macon and Brunswick, the Air Line, the Griffin A Newnan, and Elijah Rail Roads, after a hard fought battle in the House, which lasted four days, was brought to a vote on Saturday, on a motion to indefi nitely postpone, and carried by a major ity of 81 votes. A good four day’s work, that, for Georgia. The Bank Suspension Bill, which pass ed the Senato several day’s ago, lias re ceived one reading in the House. Nomination* at IValilngton. Telcgraphio dispatches from Washing* ton state that at a caucus of the Demo cratic members of Congress, held on Sa turday night, the following nominations weremado: Hon. J. L. Orr, of 8. C., for Sponker; Allen, of Illinois, for Clerk of the House; Grosbrenuer, of I’cnn., Ser gcant-nt-Anns ; and Hackney, of Va., for Doorkeeper. ~-- ‘ • President’s Message. It is announced in dispatches from Washington, that it is understood to be the determination of the President to send the Message in advance to the New York, Philadelphia and Richmond press. We can bcg no good reason why the daily press on all the telegraph lines could not bo similarly favored. Knowing the interest all feel in this document, we shall spare no pains or ex pense in laying it before our readers nt an early hour after its arrival. Oooans of Hogs. The Augusta Chronicle learns that im mense droves of hogs have recently pass ed through Chattanooga, cn route to the markets of Georgia and South Carolina. Government Estimates. Dispatches from Washington on the •Ith, state that the government estimates for the next fiscal year umount to $50,- 388,000, including $13,500,000 for the Navy; 14,000.000 for the Army, and $3,500,000 for postal deficiencies. +- - Gov. Walker and the President. The Washington Star of Tuesday last, says “Gov. R. J. Walker left Washing ton this morning for New York. It is understood that much of his time, since his arrival here, has been spent in close consultation with the President. We perceive in distant journals, what pur ports to be accounts of their various con ferences—many of them differing in all their essential points, and ugrccing only in tho evident purpose of misleading the distant public as to what course the Exe cutive and Gov. Walker will probably pursue with reference to the future of tho Kansas imbroglio. “ By way of putting nil such stories at rest, we have to say that tho best inform ed persons here regard the Washington Union’s editorial oolumns as truthfully retlecting the views of tho President on tho subject, and further, that the same patties are now of opinion that one re sult of tho conferences above alluded to, has been to make it very probable that Gov. Walker will disappoint tho hopes of those who have been calculating that his future labors will be to the end of embar rassing tho Democracy of Congress in their notion upon the Kansas Constitu tion, under the advice and guidance of President Buchanan.” High Prices for Negroes. At Sparta, on Tuesday last, forty-nine negroes, belonging to the estate of Thos. L. Wynn, late of Hancock county, were sold, averaging SB4O each, including old negroes, children and infants. One boy, twenty-two years old, a common field hand, sold for $1,000; one girl, sixteen years old, $1,500. The sales woro on cash term. This looks like anything but hard times in Hancock. In our judg ment, even the flush times of ‘56 did not authorize tho payment of any such prices for negroes, unless there wero a number of first rato mechanics among them, and we think the farmer who would pay such prices for negroes to be employed for farming purposes in Hancock, would be making a reckless uso of his money, and cugagiug in a speculation as hazardous as that of fancy stocks, with no possibil ity of its paying anything more than law ful interest on tlio money. The New York Banks. Telegraphio dispatches from New York state that uotwithstanding tho large ship ments of gold to Europe by the Arabia and other steamers, tho specie lino of tho banks, at the ensuing settlement day, will show no curtailment, but on tho con trary a further increase and probably a total amount not below $24,000,000. As to tho prospoct of a resumption of speoie payments, it is reported in well in formed quarters that such a proceeding will certainly not take place before the opening of the n#w year, while others predict that there will bo no resumption before spring. The New York Herald observes that tho moro fashionable members of Con gress from Now York and elsewhere, are taking houses at Washington for the winter and intend to give balls, soirees, parties, levees, matinees, receptions, din ners &c., and have a good time of it gen erally. “The season,” says tho Herald, “will be very gay in the elite circles, and all the fashionable women who have from twenty to forty dresses, and are not shut up in private asylums, will do well to pack their Saratoga trunks and be off by the first train. We see that several foreign aristocrats are going in the same direc tion. Lord Noodle Lord, Spindle-shanks, the Count of Empty Pockets, and the Ba ron Borrow Sixpence, are already on the ground, and will remain during the winter.” fbt Removal Question. The question of removal of the seat of Government from Milledgeville, which has agitoted the public mind for several years, has again been introduced into the Legislature, and will probably be a fruitful theme for discussion when it shall come up for action. Personally, we feel but little interest in the matter, as we have no idea of ever aspiring to a seat in the Legislature, or that if the seat of Government should be removed, that it will bo removed to any place that would benefit us in any way. But as a matter of State policy and State pride, we do feel some interest in having the Capital of so great a State as Georgia located at a place of moro commercial importance than Milledgeville can, by any possibili ty, ever attain. It should, at all events, be located on some great thoroughfare, where it would bo accessible to all por tions of the State, and not in an out of the way place, with only one avenue of approach by the most popular and expe ditious mode of travel now .employed.— And apart from the present seat of Gov ernment being out of the way, the place has no commercial or other importance, but is decidedly an old fogy village, pos sessing none of the spirit of improvement which characterizes the age, and has aot enough enterprise to furnish Hotel facili ties for the comfortable accommodation of the members of the Legislature, and those who visit there during the sessions, on business or pleasure. It is all gam mon to say that this deficiency is owing to the oft repeated agitation of the remo val question. Tho same difficulty would exist if Milledgeville had a fee simple ti tle iu perpetuity to the location nt that place, for not a sufficient number could be found who would invest their capital in building the right kind of Hotels for the accommodation of visitors, for the short space of time the Legislature would be in session there each year, while all tho balance of the year there was a per perfect dearth in the Hotel business.— Besides this, there is another inconve nience, which, it appears to us, is a very great one, and that is the great difficulty of getting early news of tho proceedings of the Legislature. The press of that city, either for want of ability, or on ac count of having imbibed the old fogyisli notions which appear to pervade that whole community, publish only weekly papers, and even then arc generally two or three days behind the daily press of distant cities, in publishing the proceed ings up to their day of publication. This dovolves upon the daily press of tho cities the necessity of cmyloying reporters, generally at high prices, to transmit them the news before it becomes so stale as to have lost all interest to the people. If there is anything that the people feel a deep interest iu, it is what their legis lators are doing, and tho scat of Govern ment should be located where there are facilities for furnishing a report of their doings to them as soon after they trans pire as practicable. Milledgeville does not, nor ennnot, furnish these facilities, and hence, wo think it due to the people that the capital should be located at some place that can. In as much as the present Capital will require an outlay of some fifty thousand dollars, to make it at all comfortable for the accon modation of the members of the Legislature, we think now is as good a time as will ever occur for its removal, and as it is clearly in the power of the Legislature to make the removal, the lo cation of the Capital not being fixed by the Cqpstitution, we hopo the present Legislature will have the nerve to act upon tho question at once, and not pur sue the dilly-dally policy heretofore adopted of submitting the question to the people. If it were referred to them again, tho probability is that thousands of them would fail to vote, as they did before, and the vote, therefore, would be no evidence of the will of tbc people upon the subject. There are several places in Georgia that are far more eligible, and equally as central as Milledgeville, and as some of them a few years since proffered to defray the expenses of putting up the necessary buildings, if tho Legislature would locate the Capital in their cities, it would be economy as well ns good policy to accept the proposition. We presume they would still be willing to do so, as they could very well afford to do it, by reason of tho additional importance it would give them, as well as a large increase of trade. The most prominent rivals for the fu ture location are Macon and Atlanta, either of which are a hundred times more eligible thau the present. Between the two we have no choice, believing that at either a Capital could be built worthy of our great Stuto, and that facilities could be furnished for the accommodation of members and visitors, and that the ac tions and doings of the Legislature would be made known to the people in reasona ble time, through the local press. The Augusta Constitutionalist learns from a member of Judge Longstreet’s family, that he will accept the Presiden cy of the South Carolina College, recent ly tendered him by the Board of Trus tees. Death of a Veteran. Jerathiel Doty, a soldier of tho Revo lution, and the last survivor of the Body Guard, and escort of the gallant Lafayette to his native country, departed this life early on Sunday morning, the 14th ult., at his residence, at South Walingford, Vt., aged 63 years. When the Alliance was sent by the Continental Congress to convey Lafayette to Franoo and to bring back the negotiated loan of five millions treasure, Jerathiel Doty wae one of the picked es cort to take in charge the noble treasure out, the patriotic Lafayette, and the much needed treasure in return, to replenish the exhausted national treasury. And on their return, in the desperate encounter with the British cruiser, when the scup pers of the Alliance ran with blood, the old hero was foremost in the fight until wounded, as was supposed mortally, and was carried below. For the Dally Bnn. Who Hlir.uld be Aldermen I Messrs. Editors: —The above is a very important question for our citizens to settle, and one that should be properly and carefully considered, without any 1 reference to party ties, good nature, or I in a spirit of fun. The present state of tho financial af ! fairs, calls for men of the soundest judg ment—business men—men who can, and j have, managed their own private affairs well. They should be property holders, i lam aware that objections may be urg i cd to this, but are such objections sound ? ’ I think not. Who should have the con ; trol of the great monetary affairs of a | city, in preference to those who are most | deeply interested therein ? None. The man who pays but one dollar tax is not entitled to the management of the com ! mon fund paid in, so much as the man who pays double that amount, much less is he on an equal footing with him who pays ten times the one dollar. Again, the real estate holder has the growth and prosperity of the city more directly at heart than one who is only a renter. In the one case, bis all is at stake, and if a city’s prosperity wanes, so, in equal ratio, does bis interest suf fer, while the renter looses nothing, for if business is not profitable hero, he has but to pack up, take the cars, and he is very soon snugly ensconced in another city, with nothing to pay into the com mon fund of the city but his simple poll tax. Again, wo elect a man who owns no real estate, he takes his seat, fixes the taxes, assists to pass a few laws vitally affecting the interest of the city, for good or evil, perhaps for the latter; the pres sure comes upon us; he can resign his seat and seek other quarters where busi ness is more prosperous, while the real estate holder is left with the “bag to hold,” for he cannot get away if he would ; his all is invested in real estate, and hence, to move, he must submit to an enormous sacrifice. To me it appears but an act of simple justice that the management should be entrusted entirely to those who own the city, and not to the men who “squat” amongst us, to migrate so soon as the “grazing becomes poor.” But, says one, levying taxes is not all that’s to be done —there are laws for the government of tho city to be framed, passed and executed. True; and who is better calculated, or more deeply inter ested in having the city well and proper ly governed, than the property holdei ? It certainly will appear to every candid mind that, upon the proper government of any city hinges its prosperity pecuni arily. If your city is well governed real estate will become valuable, and if badly governed, its value will decrease iu pro portion. In whatever light we look at it, there is no argument satisfactory to our mind, why the government should not be confi ded entirely to those of our citizens who own the city. He that owns a piece of property should certainly control it. As for myself, “no foot of land do I possess,” but justice is justice, and 1 do not feel that I have any shadow of right to say what rate of tax my landlord shall pay. With equally as much right, I could fix a sum which I would be wil ling to pay rent for his house and lot. and demand the keys from him. We may rest assured that when the property holder legislates for his own in terests, it will, in all cases, most surely inure to ours. FOURTH WARD. From Central America, Tho Panama papers received by the Northern Light, at New York, conlain the proclamation of Martinez, General-in- Chief of the Nicaraguan army, dated Oct, 23d, declaring war against Costa Rica.— The General declares that Nicaragua will preservo the whole line of transit from ocean to ocean, also the district of Guan acosto. The Costa Rican General has made a formal demand for the surrender of tho fort of San Carlos. The latter is roported to be on the Lake in a steamer, and had been fired upon by Nicaragu an troops. Martinez, in an address to the people of Nicaragua, says : The Government of Costa Rica, with the ostensible view of assisting Nicara gua in the defenoe of the independence of the country, possessed itself of Castillo Viejo ; it turned out from that point the fiscal employee that the government had there ; it assumed the sovereignty of the waters of the river and tho lake, under the trust of thy Republic, for the pur pose of blockading the fort of San Carlos, and lastly, it captured the boats that conveyed Nicaraguan passengers to San Juau del Norte ; it placed forces in Tor tuga and threatens to occupy the neigh boring town, to consummate the complete usurpation of the transit line, uud hand it over to Webster, Harris & Morgan, the filibusters, who are the greatest friends of Walker. The Governments of the other States, beiug made awnre of these circumstances, that of Salvador has offered its mediation, which that of Nicaragua accepts, with the hope of procuring a pacific termination to the present question ; nnd the Commis sioner is momentarily expected, who doubtless will be, to a certain extent, lis tened to by the Government of Costa Ri ca, because all the States have an equal interest in preventing all disturbances that might afford the filibustering party the desirod opportunity to strike a deci sive blow against the independence of Central America. But if Costa Rica does not refrain her self at the imperious voice of reason and national policy, it is neoessary that tho Nicaraguans repross her audaciousness and arrogance, and defend the dignity of tbc Republic. Subsequently appears the following deoree: The Supreme Government of the Republic of Nicaragua to it’ Inhabitants: Considering that the deference of the Government of the Republic has not been sufficient to restrain the intentions of that of Costa Rica, and the hostile operations ! undertaken to seize the River San Juan, the Lake, and the entire Isthmus between San Juan del Sur and Virgin Bay, with the view of getting the entire transit route into its power. In view of the dispatch, dated August ; the 6th, by the Minister of Relations of that Republic, refusing for its govern -1 ment the cession made by Nicaragua of ‘ I the District of Guanacasto, and the right | ‘ bank of the river San Juan, from wi ll n two miles below Castillo Viqjo to lv.ut Castillo. The captaiu of the steamer San Carlos, Sr. G. Cauty, having announneed the blockade of the Fort of San Carlos, and demanded the surrender of the force that garrisoned it, all by the Captain General , of tho Republic of Costa Rica, as is | shown by the note which the said Captain addressed to the commander of the said fort, which is published herewith—De crees : Article 1. Nicaragua accepts the war which the government of Costa Jtica makes, and wili vindicate its rights, treacherously outraged by the conduct of that government. Art. 2. The Republic of Nicaragua will preserve in fact its right to all the line of the transit, by the river nnd lake, as far as Sau Juan del Sur, as well as that which it has on the District of Guuun casto, its lands, wood and rivers. Art. 3. It will proceed to raise the no cessary force to carry into effect the dis positions of the present decree. Art. 4. Communicate it to whom it may may concern.

Gentlemen : Everything is very still at present. I never sec the low price of meats in the papers any more. What lias become of all that cheap beef, mut ton and pork that went the rounds every day this last season ? lam so far off the road that I never get the papers. I live so close to the steam cars that I am lia able to be blown off, but still I am yet in town. I have good meat of all kinds cheap for cash. McM., A Butcher by Trade. Oil- There are plenty of young gentlemen as well as plenty of old ones v hose beards are turning gray, which gives tho formei - great deal of un easiness, and exposes the ago of the lattor. To avoid these little perplexities we advise such of our readers to use Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, which will, in the course of a few weeks, change the hair to its natural color, it does not dye the hair like the most of the hair restoratives, but produces a gradual change of color from the roots of the hair to the final end, and gives it a fine and glossy appearance. Wo have seen many persons who liavo used it successfully, aud pronounced it tho only invention which lias come to their idea of a “cure for gray heads.” We commenced using it about two months since, and if we are any judge of age and beauty, it has made us at least ten years younger; in fact we aro beginning to look quite young, and feel very much like getting a young wife. The chango is miraculous, aud it would be as difficult to find a gray hair now as it would be to find an idea in the head of the Duke of Bucking ham. We know several old maids and some young widows, whose locks are just beginning to assume a silvery hue, and who have been talking seriously about rcsortiug to this remedy,and we advise them not to delay any longer.
