The Election ol' State Printer.
• By cflir Atlanta dispatch, it will be seen
that the contest for State Printer, resulted
yesterday in the election of llr. J. H. Estill,
proprietor of the Morning News, by a very
handsome majority, on the first ballot.
This result is at once a most gratifying
evidence of the popularity of the News,
find of the confidence of the General Assem
bly in the ability and integrity of its enter
prising proprietor.
A Slight Letting Up.—It is not often that
we are called upon to record a letting up of
the implacable hostility with which the dom
inant majority in Congress have treated th£
Southern people. The Washington corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial re
cords an instance which occurred on the
11th inst. He says:
“The Dropositiou of Representative Smith,
of New York, that no part of the apnropria-
tion of four hundred thousand dollars, in
tended for the payment of judgments of the
Court of Claim*, shall be applied to judg
ments for the proceeds of captured or aban
doned property seized before the 30th of
June, 1865, aud that no such judgment shall
be paid except under a special appropriation
of Congress, was defeated by a large major
ity in the Houso yesterday. The result is
believed to show a decisive majority iu the
House in favor of an equitable adjustment
of all claims held iu the ''outh against the
Government, and may bo accepted as an in
dication that several cf the prominent meas
ures for that section will receive favorable
consideration. ”
The late State Treasurer of Iowa, Major
Rankin, is said to be a defaulter to the Agri
cultural College funcl. The amount, how
ever, is only the merest trifle—a matter of
$28,000 as far as heard from. We are glad
to learn, as we do from Senator Harlan's
Washington Chronicle, that Major Rankin
is “plain and unpretentious in his habits,
modest and unassuming in all bis inter
course with men, and a model officer in de
votion to duty;” also, that “no man stands
higher for integrity of character.” The
Chronicle says the defalcation is “a matter
of profound surprise" to his many friends.
Singular that it should be. Doubtless it
was the amount of' it that surprised them.
Had he not been a man of integrity, plain,
&c., modest, &c., and a model officer, he
would have taken more than $28,000. Per
haps he has. They’re investigating his ac
counts.
A Washington telegram says: “ Army
circles aro somewhat agitated over the bill
just brought forward by Senator Ames. In
1866 Congress passed a law providing for
four regiments in the regular array, the
enlistments in which to be opened exclusive
ly to colored men. These regiments were
designed for service in such portions of the
Southern States, whore the peculiar temper
ament of the black man enabled him to
withstand more successfully than the while
man the enervating effects of the climate.
There are forty regimental organizations in
the army, aud Mr. Ames, by his bill, pro
poses to do away with the distinctive organi
zation of the fonr colored regiments and
throw open the whole forty to the enlist
ment of men of that race.”
Mr. Peers has introduced a bill in the Mis-
uri House of Representatives to regulate
e plea of insanity in criminal cases, which
•ovides that when a jury acquit a prisoner
larged with murder, they shall state in
eir verdict whether they acquit on the
ound of insanity, or for other reasons; if
i the plea of insanity, the court shall at
ice order the prisoner to bo confined in the
sane asylum. This is similar to the In-
ana bill, and to one also proposed in New
>rk. The New York bill directs that if the
isoner be acquitted on the plea of insanity,
shall be so stated in the verdict, and he
alTthen be ordered to confinement in the
sane asylum for twenty years; if found
lilty of manslaughter, he shall be sen-
need to State prison for life.

Gen. R. E. Lt*e Monument.
The grand monument to the memory of
Gen. Lee is now rapidly being constructed
under the direction and skill of Prof. Valen
tine. And in order to complete it at the
earliest possible day, the Executive Commit
tee of the Lee Memorial Association at Lex
ington, Ya., which is composed of such
distinguished men as Gen. Pendleton, Gen.
Terry, Hon. Wm. McLaughlin, Col. Preston
Johnson, Charles Davidson, and others, have
authorized the publication and sale of a per
fect steel engraved portrait of Gen. Lee.
The proceeds of Us sale to be applied in
furtherance of the object of this Associa
tion, namely: to the erection of a monument
to the memory of Gen. R. E. Lee, at the
Washington and Lee University, Lexington,
Va. The portrait wil’ be sold only by sub
scription, through regular authorized
agents. Every subscriber for the portrait
will receive a certificate signed by the Sec
retary and Chairman of the Lee Memorial
Association. We commend this portrait to
the public, and hope some good energetic
man will secure the agency in this section
in order to help on the good work. Messrs.

Hon. B. H. Hill’s Speech.
By an error of the compositor we were
ma<le to say in our iosuo of yesterday that
Hon. B. H. Hill had delivered a Grant
speech before the Legitlature on Thursday
evening. We wrote that he bad made a
“great speech,” not a Grant speech. To pre
vent misconception we make the correction.
Mr. Hill is noted for making “new de
partures,” and accepting situations, but we
have had no intimation that he has yet
changed his position from .the Cincin
nati to the Philadelphia platform. He
was a “ Co-operationist” in 18 60, in
opposition to the secession movement.
Ho, however, afterwards “co-operated”
with the Secessionists as Senator in the
Confederate Congress. He was heavy on
the carpet-baggers and scallawags in his
“Notes on the Situation,” but he afterwards
“co-operated” with Bullock, Brown, Delano,
and Cameron, at the Kimball House love
feast, and in the Railroad lease. Should he
realize his present “hope and purpose” in
being elected to the United States Senite,
who can say with certainty with what party
he would “co-operate” before the expiration
of liis term. His present position was stated
in liis speech on Thursday night, which is
thus noticed in the Atlanta Sun of yesterday.
Tho Sun says:
“Mr. Hill was greeted with quite a large
audience at the Capitol last night. He said
he had no intention of making a defense of
his past record. The general line of his
speech was to the effect that the members
of the present Legislature were elected upon
the line of political views, enunciated at
Cincinnati last summer; that they could not
send any man to Congress consistently, who
did not represent that line of sentiment.
“He thought that it would be mortifying
to send a main to the Senate who is not capa
ble of repelling the malignant aspersions of
Northern Congressmen upon the South. To
send a man who did not represent the Lib
eral element, and the tender of tho olive
branch by the South in their support of Mr.
Greeley, would be in bad faith to that move
ment.
“ Mr. Hill did not come np to his usual
style of argument or declamation, and there
fore did notrecei%*e tho applause that greeted
him in by-gone days, when he poured forth
his eloquence in opposition to the usurpa
tions of an unscrupulous Congress. But
had he sounded the key that gave such a
clear ring to his ‘ Notes on the Situation,’ he
would have awakened the old fire that caught
from hearth fo hearth and burst forth in
deafening applause.”
We give, as a curiosity, the alleged order
for the execution of our Savior, formerly in
the possession of the De la Tour d’Avergne
family, and which was, it is said, burned in
the destruction of the Archepiscopal Palace
at Bgurges, in France. It is probably the
style of order that was in vogue at the time,
for, if 'a forger}', as without doubt it is, the
forger would have copied tho custom of the
times. The order is as follows, with the ab
breviated signature attached of the Roman
Governor:
J» sus of Nazareth, of the Jewish tribe of
Judah, convicted of imposture and rebellion
against the divine authoritv of Tiberius
Auguiins, Emperor of the Romans, to die
on the cross by sentence of the judge,
Pontius Pilate, on the prosecution of our
lord, Herod, lieutenant of the Emperor in
Ju lea, shall bo taken to-morrow morning,
the 23d day of the Ides of March, to the
usual place of punishment, under the escort
of a company of the Pnetorian guard. The
so-called King of the Jews shall oe taken out
by the Struncan gate. ' All the pubhe officers
and the subjects of tho Emperor are directed
to lend their aid to the execution of this
sentence. * Capel,

Illegal Postage.—The Journal of Com
merce is showing that notwithstanding the
recent decision of the Post Office Committee
against the Postmaster, he and his subordi
nates continue to exact double and unpaid
rates on all letters paid only in part. The
Journal has a suit pending against the
Postmaster to recover postage thus illegally
imposed. The editor says:
“If everyone to whom such a letter is ten
dered should refuse to pay the overcharge
and • bring suit at once for the detention of
the letter, there would be a nice array of
cases upon which damages could ultimately
be collected. But what an example of dis
regard of law this is, aud who can wonder at
tin* progress of crime, when the officers of
the Government pay no more respect to
legal requirements! ”
Lee's Birth Day in Ecfaula, ALA.^-The
ladies of Eufaula, Alabama, are making ex
tensive preparations for an entertainment
at the Fair Grounds on Wednesday next and
a ball and supper the same night at Hart’s

together, will be the grandest- and most
interesting affair we hare had in Eufaula in
a long while. It is gotten up under the
auspices of the Cleburne Fire Company, No.

sociation, a cause tb&t warmly enlists the
sympathies of every true Southern heart,
and we doubt not the result will be com
mensurate with the patriotism, intelligence
and refinement of our people.” •
Progress of the Port Royal Railroad.—
Wo learn from the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel that work on the Port Royal Rail
road is progressing rapidly, with every indi
cation that the line will be completed from
Augusta to its tidewater terminus by the
20th of February. Only about twenty-five
miles of track remain to be laid, and this is
being pushed with all possible energy and
dispatch. All the piers and masonry, with
most of the superstructure of the bridge
over the davannah river, at Sand Bar Ferry,
has been completed, the adjustment of the
draw being the chief work yet to be accom
plished.
A Mysterious Donation.—On Tuesday
afternoon, when Mr. Oakes Ames received
his mail in tho House of Representatives,
among other envelopes opened was one con
taining four hundred dollars in greenbacks,
but without a line of writing to indicate the
sender. Mr. Ames remarked that he sup
posed somebody had become conscience-
stricken, and he pocketed the funds. Mr.
Ames' connection with the Credit Mobiller
makes this item of some interest just now,
and it will probably start the inquiry,
“What was the object of this anonymous
donation V”
Reports from Washington state that Sena
tor Sumner for two weeks bas slept only by
the uso of opiate injections under the skin.
It is stated that he must soon retire from
the Senate never to come back, and he has
himself asked Mr. Wilson to state that his
health will keep him out of his seat for some
time. Tho latest reports represent him as
somewhat improved.
The Bey of Tunis impales defaulting office

Atlanta, January 15, 1873.
Letters of correspondence, however per
tinent or picturesque they may be, cannot
by any possibility compete with the tele
graph service, and I have therefore been in
no hurry to write you from this point. Your
special dispatches leave little or nothing in
the shape of news to be forwarded by mail,
and the best that can be done is to give you
opinions that are probably worth nothing,
and rumors that are possibly unreliable.
the legislature.
The present Legislature appears to be a
much more intelligent body than the last,
and the members thereof manifest thus
early a laudable desire to settle down to the
business before them. Last year this pen
man had occasion to say some harsh but
very true things about the General Assem
bly then in session, and he is of the opinion
that any improvement over that body is
worthy of several rounds of hearty applause.
Wherefore he proposes that some genial
gentleman in the dress circle give the signal.
MEASURES INTRODUCED.
Some important bills have already been
introduced in both houses. Notably among
these is one offered in the Senate by Mr.
Gilmore providing for a Constitutional Con
vention. Objections to this bill have already
•found their way into the public prints here,
but it is to be hoped that the measure will
prevail. The necessity for a Constitutional
Convention is so pressing and obvious withal
that it is hardly worth my while to go over
arguments that have already appeared in the
News. Atlanta is afraid, however, that one of
the objects of this Convention will be to take
into consideration the propriety of carrying
the Capital back to Milledgeville; and al
though that would be the least important of
all the various duties of such a bodv, the
wide-awake township aforementioned rises
promptly to protest. Whether tho protest
will amount to anything remains to be seen.
Leaving altogether out of view the Capital
question, which is likely to become promi
nent enough in future State politics, there
are a dozen reasons why the Convention
ghoulu be called, and it is more than proba
ble that Mr. Gilmore’s bill will pass. Op
position to it, I imagine, will be prompted
solely by the fear that the Convention will
meddle with Atlanta’s pet and pride—the
Capital.
THE SENATORIAL RACE.
The contest for United States Senator is
growing in interest, knd, in some of its
aspects, is getting to be exceedingly bitter.
Both Mr. Stephens and Mr. Hill have devel
oped more strength than even the warmest
of their friends anticipated. The Gordon
element, however, is enthusiastic, and the
friends of the General are confident that If
he is not electod on the first ballot, ho cer
tainly will be on the second. The race is a
triangular one, and is in some respects more
interesting than such contests usually are.
The Gordon and tyil elements are irrecon-
cilablf, and if the contest is carried beyond
tho second or third ballot, Mr. Stephens will
probably bo elected.
THE SAGE OF LIBERTY HALL.
Mr. Stephens occupies rooms at the Kim
ball House, and as at Liberty Hall, keeps
open house. He may be found any time
during the day, aud until ten o'clock at
night, entertaining his friends. I.called
upon Mr. Stephen* the other evening for the
purpose of paying my respects to the dis
tinguished statesman. I remember to have
heard Mr. Stephens on the hustings
when quite young, hat my impressions
as to his personal appearance, his style
and mauner were not particularly vivid, and
so to me there was something picturesque
aud novel in the surroundings. A number
of visitors wore ranged around the room,
while behind a table sat the Sage oi Liberty
Hall. I had been led to suppose that he was
very feeble aud decrepit, and that age aud
disease had altogether unfitted him for any
thing like public life. But these things have
been greatly exaggerated. Instead of a su-
perauuated and extremely feeble person, I
saw an old gentleman in whose eyes blazed
all the tires of that wonderful intellect which
has swayed Senates and Legislatures—in
whose voice the old-time eloquence rang—
and in whose maimer the sprightliness and
vivacity of youth were toned and refined by
the natural dignity aud genial courtesy of
the gentleman. For half an hour or more
I listened to the old man eloquent, aud came
away charmed.
THE GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION.
The State Press Convention, which as
sembled here on the 14th, was one of the
largest and most intelligent meetings of the
kind ever held in tho State. Tho members
were full of good humor and business, and
went to work in earnest. The proceedings,
I suppose, you will find in the Atlanta papers.
Tho body adjourned on Wednesday to meet
in Americus in May. These editorial con
ventions are becoming to be of great profit
to the fraternity in this State, and a source
of great pleasure to those who participate in
them. The Georgia Press Association is now
one of the largest and most influential bodies
of the kind in the country. Mr. Stephens
participated in the deliberations of the edi
tors on Tuesday, and his presence on the
occasion constitutes quite an epoch in the
history of the Association.
J. C. H.
The Gem of the West and Soldiers' Friend,
published at Chicago, contains an$f Aboli
tionary Reflections on the Situation in

“trooly loil” standard. These reflections
run into rhyme as well as reason. They
open thus:
Eight and sixty colored gents, sitting in a
row,
Five and twenty white men, busy “eating
crow;”
Warmoth on the anxious seat, and Pinch-
back in the chair,
How is that for high, my boys ? Uncle Sam
don’t care.
After going through the startling facts of
the situation, the poet, Frank Myrtle, con
cludes as follows:
The next old battle, when it conies, will be a
big one too,
Twon’t be between the Gray boys, and those
who wore the Blue,
The blacks will run *the good old ship, and
we will rebels be.
So buckle on vour armor boys, and keep your
country free.
We've beeft an abolitioner, we know what
’tis we say,
We’ve fought lor all theso colored chaps, that
they might have their pay,
But now the tarnal cusses think, bekase we
made ’em free.
That they can put tho lash on us and raise
their juberlee.

five hundred claims still on file.
“Some of the preachers of New York and
Boston,” we are told, are talking about abol
ishing hell.” The Courier-Journal fears that
there are persons of that calling np that
way who have a fearfully well-devoloped per
sonal interest in having it abolished.
As Territories and Not as States.
The W ashington Chronicle, which tries to
reflect the views of the Administration with-
out aatagtinizing prevalent ideas in the Re
publican party, makes the following remarks
in an article on the annexation of San Do
mingo:
Tbs popular impression is that somehow,
and at some time. San D mingo and Cuba
will pass under the dominion of the Ameri
can Government, and if the result can be
brought about without too much expense,
without compelling Cougress to admit to the
rights of_ American citizenshiD people who
have so little in common with us of culture
and fitness for self-government, and without
fostering some pestilent ring of speculators,
there would be very little feeling upon
the subject. A sort of territorial condition
for such acquisitions is demanded by every
consideration of public interest and safety.
A pretty long probation might be necessary
for such an acquisition of San Domingo. It
mi&ht come in about the time Alaska is
ready. As States, such acquisitions as Cuba
aud San Domingo are not to be thought of.
It is probably the destiny of the American
Government to absorb the American conti
nent, but the aasimulating process needs to
be healthfully stimulated or the mass would
be disintegrated by its own weight. We
cannot afford to overlook the capacity of
people for self-government. The Govern
ment is suffering a tremendous strain be
cause of its effort to establish political
equality in a large section where it had so
long been legally and practically denied.
When this iob is safely disposed of, we may
venture to begin the training of the benight
ed men of Cnba aud San Domingo provided
it can be done at their own expense.
It may bo pretty safely inferred from the
above guarded and deliberate language, and
from other utterances from similar sources,
that the Administration and its more espe
cial supporters, in and out of Congress, lean
to a territorial absorption policy with refer
ence to the West Indies, to Mexico, and to
Central America, and in other directions,
without auy absolute limit short of the
whole American continent. But it appears
that they seriously doubt whether pubhe
opinion in the United States would consent
to the admission to the Union, on the foot
ing of States, of auy of the southward lying
countries referred to, as long as they retained
their present social elements and character
istics. Hence, while this impression ex
isted in Congress aud in Administration cir
cles, the annexation of San Domingo, of
Cuba, or of any part of Mexico, or Central
America, would bring with it an indefinite
term of territorial government and proba
tion.
When so many persons believe that, in
consequence of the political enfranchise
ment of an ignorant negro population, it
would be better for some of the Southern
States to be territorialized and brought un-
de*r the immediate care and control of the
Federal authority, it would not be strange
if the best social, industrial, and commercial
interests in San Domingo or Cuba, confront
ed with a still worse mass of enfranchised
ignorance, should call for annexation in the
gnape of an American protectorate, rather
than in that of States in the Union, left to
their own resources for maintaining good
order and other local guarantees of their
welfare.—A. O. limes.

The Atlantic anil Great Western Canal.
The proposition of connecting the waters
of the Mississippi river with the Atlantic
ocean is receiving some attention iu Con
gress. On the 11th instant, Gen. DuBose,
of Georgia, made a speech upon the subject,
in which he cited several precedents, begin
ning in 1809, to show that the policy of mak
ing appropriations to aid iu the construction
of works of internal improvement has been
coeval w*th the existence of the Federal
Government.
General DuBose also referred to the large
grants of lands by Congress lor opening
great pubhe highways in the Western States,
aud argued the great National and commer
cial importance of the proposed canal, open
ing a direct and unobstructed water com
munication between the Mississippi river and
the Atlantic ocean, beginning at the mouth
of the Ohio river, following the Ohio to the
Teuuessie; up the Tennessee, passing Muscle
Shoals, to the mouth of Short creek, two
miles aud a half below Guutersville, Ala.;
from the mouth of Short creek, by canal
ami slack-water navigation, across Sand
Mountain and down the valley of Well's
creek to its junction with the Coosa, two
miles and a half below Gadseu; up the Coo
sa to Rome, Georgia; from Rome, by canal
aud slack water navigation, up the valley of
the Etowah aud Little rivers, across the
Chattahoochee plateau; dowu the Yellow
ami Ocmulgee rivers to Macon, thence, con
tinuing down the Ocmulgee to the Altama-
ha, and down the Altainaha to the sea, a
total distance of thirteen hundred and
thirty-three miles, ten hundred and thirty-
three’ of which is by river, aud the remain
ing three hundred by ca.i&l and slack-water
navigation.
This Work can be done, it is alleged, at a
cost not exceeding forty millions of dollars.
Tho writer does not now pro[x>se to enter
into a discussion as to the feasibility of the
project. If it can be accomplished, it would
certainly open up a great national lino of
inter-communication between the Western
aud Atlantic States, and unite more closely
than ever these sections of our country,
whoso interests are yet to become more aud
more mutual.—Atlanta Sup.
From Atlanta—The Senatorial Race.—
A cunning little bird at Atlanta, who is al
ways fluttering around with eyes and ears
wide open, and who is ueuced sharp, withal,
perched on our desk a day or two since and
chirruped as follows concerning the Sena
torial race:
First—That B. H. Hill’s strength is in
creasing, and that his friends are working
with desperate energy for promises of sup
port after the first ballot. The little b.rd is
sure, however, that hircan never get more
than sixty votes. •
Second—That the race as it now stands,
is plainly between Gordon and Stephens —the
former somewhat ahead, but probably not
enough so as to make him sure of a majority
of all the votes. Both he and Stephens are
quite confident of election- Stephens, the
httle bird says, is “toting his own skillet”
with “the energy of a giant,” and if he is
beaten will enter the race for Representa
tive in Congress from the Eighth District to
fill Gen. Wright’s vacancy, aud “will beat
out everybody,” the little bird said, with the
most confident wink and nod of the head
ever seen.
Third—That if neither Stephens nor por-
dou’s arms are long enough to reach aud
pluck the tempting fruit, Jenkins or John
son will bo brought forward. Movements
to have the former ready for the race have
already been made by some of his frionds
from Augusta, or thereabouts.
Fourth—That Governor Smith is accused
by some of wanting the place himself, and
of industriously manipulating the wires iu
that direction. Those who thus accuse him
say that he is holding back all appointments
for this purpose, and that the game is a very
strong one and may win. Tho little bird
only gave that as a rumor, however, and de
clined to endorse it.—Macon Telegraph.
Blackshear Academy.—This Institution
was opened last Monday in circumstances
promising much success. On the first day
the number of pupils was thirty-four. The
prospect is that tho number will soon be
largely increased. Rev. Mr. Myers, the l’rin-
cipal, is an educated man, a ripe scholar, and
a successful and experienced educator of
youth. He has secured the services of an
efficient female teacher as assistant in the
Academy. Tho department of music will be
in charge of a young lady of accomplished
education, and well known as an excellent
musician, possessing remarkable sweetness
and compass of voice in song as well as skill
in execution in instrumental music. Mr.
Myers is an instructive preacher, a good
thinker and logical reasoner.
We congratulate Blackshear on this acqui
sition to tne society._ The impress of such
influence will be felt'for lasting good. •

Atlanta, January 17.
Iu Ihe Senate.
BILLS ON THEIR THIRD READING.
The bill amending section 4,522 of the
! Code, protecting the stock and hogs of peo
ple where the fences were insecure w as, after
' debate, recommitted to the Judiciary Com-
I mittee.
The bfll authorizing executors, adminis
trators, guardians and trustees to settle with
' minor females after marriage, in the same
manner as if they had attained their legal
; majority, provided the husband had ob
tained his majority, was passed.
Mr. Reese opposed the bill on the ground
that it was wrong to permit these minors to
have their property and all others. He de
nied that husbands had nothing to do with
this separate estate. The property of the
wife would be wasted from want of expe
rience, and the law should protect her inter
ests.
| Messrs. Brown and Cain favored the pas"
sage of the bill. Mr. Cain saw no advantage
in keeping them out of the property. They
need it to start in life, and the husband
would invest more judiciously than by leav
ing it in the hands of a guardian or trustee.
The following bills were lost:
The bill renumbering the Militia Districts;
the bill abolishing the office of Stato School
Commissioner; the bill amending section
2,479 of the Code in reference to tho time of
executing warrants of appraisement; the
bill amending the 2d section of article 2d of
the Constitution in reference to the resi
dence of voters; the bill amending section
2,200 of the Code; the bill amending article
1st,section 13th, paragraph 2d of the Consti
tution; the bill increasing the fees of Jus
tices of the Peace and Constables. Also
lost:
The bill amending sections 38, 86, 29, 90,
34, 72 and 2,200 of the Code.
The bill defining the fees of justices of the
peace, ex-officio justices and constables, was
indefinitely postponed.
Senate adjourned to Monday.
In the House.
Mr. Mercer moved to reconsider the con
currence of the House in the Senate resolu
tion appointing a* joint committee to reduce
the number of judicial circuits.
Messrs. Hunter, Miller aud Foster, of
Richmond, Jones, of Burke, Turnbull, Hud
son and Reese favored reconsideration—
Messrs. Hoge, Stewart, Latham and Teasely
opposed the motion to reconsider, which
was lost by a largofmajoritv.
BILLS ON THEIR FIRST READING.
By Mr. Williamson—A bill for the relief of
Messrs. Boughton, Nisbit, Barnes and Moore.
The bill appropriates eight thousand dollars,

reports of committees.
Tho Committee on Elections reported in
contested election cases from Glynn, Fayette
and Wayne count it a, in favor of the sitting
members.
The following committee was announced
on the part of the House to report a bill re
ducing tne Judiciary Circuits: Latham, Pea
body, Hoge, Anderson, Mercer, Lyon and
Lutt. The House adjourned.
THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
Excitement over the Senatorial contest is
increasing. Each candidate considers his
prospects improving.
THF. DISTRIBUTION OF ARMS.
Gov. Smith will make no permanent dis
tribution of arms until the law passed last
session is repealed. Under its operations
certain sections of the State would receive
all the arms. The power to distribute should
be vested in the Governor as Commander-
in-Chief.
obn. Gordon’s speech.
Gen. Gordon expounded the fundamental
principles of tho Government, explained the
dangers which threaten the South, and
pointed out the remedy for tho salvation of
civil liberty and the restoration of the ma
terial prosperity of Georgia aud the South.
His speech was practicable, forcible aud
eloquent, aud wag responded to with three
hearty cheers at its close. He made no per
sonal reference to his candidacy, and no ap
peal for support. His cause suffered none
from his able effort.
Mr. Stephens has the conclusion to-mor
row night.
Off fob Texas.—Immigration Westward
flows from the Eastern States in an almont
uninterrupted stream. Georgia is sending
her quota to settle up the vacant territory,
aud Texas is just now receiving a heavy re
inforcement from the old Empire State.
Thomas county has already furnished a re
spectable number, and several more loft
Thomasville on Tuesday morning by the
Albany trlin bound for* the same region.
These were Elijah Ward. Stephen Carroll and
his two sons Caswell ami Thomas, and Robt.
R. Parramore, of Florida. All these Jiave
families and aggregate, perhaps thirty to
forty souls. While we regret to see our citi
zens pull up stakes and forsake the old land,
we wish them a safe arrival aud a future
prosperity commensurate with the sacrifice
made.—Thomasville Enterprise.
Serious Difficulty in Edgefield Dis
trict, S. C.—The Edgefield Advertiser, of
the 16th inst., says:
On Saturdav last a serious difficulty oc
curred in the t>Fy Creek section, between L.
P. Rutland, Esq., of tho one part, and
Messrs. B. F. Smith and James Lagrone of
the other; but as accounts thereof are quite
conflicting, we state the matter very briefly.
Mr. liutland aud son, it would seem, went
to the house of Mr. Smith to recover certain
property in which they claiq} an interest;
and a personal rencontre ensuing, in which
both Darties fired. Smith was twice shot,
receiving a wound*in the breast and one in
tho thigh, which wounds, it is feared, will
prove fatal.
Ten Thousand Dollars.—Yesterday we
met Mr. W. C. Morris, Secretary or the
Southern Life Insurance CompanVj at this
place, with ten thousand dollars iu his hand.
This amount was paid on tho life of Rev.
Father O’Reily, it being issued in that com
pany. A great portion of this amount goes
to the Church and the remainder to his
relations. The premiums paid on the policy
up to the time of his death only amounted
to betweeD four and five hundred dollars in
all.—Atlanta Sun.
Memorializing the Legislature.—Tho
Thomas County Agricultural Society and the
South Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, being in session on the same
day, 9th instant, resolved themselves into
one body and appointed a committee to
demoralize the Legislature in behalf of the
extension of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.
We understand the committee acted prompt-
lv and have already forwarded a memorial to
tiiat body.—Thomasville Enterprise.
COX GIIK SSIOY AL.
Washington, January 17.—The Senate
considered the Vienna exposition appropria
tion. Mr. Carpenter withdrew his amend
ment appropriating three hundred thousand
dollars to the Washington Monument, ex
pressing a doubt of the possibility of the
completion of it from the softness of the
ground under the monument. Tho bill was
then passed.
Mr. Morton made an elaborate speech upon
his resolution, directing the Committee on
Elections and Privileges to enquire into the
•defects of the prese .t electoral system, aud
best means of remedying them.
Mr. Trumbull replied, agreeing with Mr.
Morton in some respects, but dissenting
•from some of his views as to the proper
remedy. The founders of our Government,
he said, intended to found a Republic, not a
pure Democracy. It was not intended that
a majority should have all tho power, and
to put the Government on that basis would
prepare the way to a despotism. The matter
went over.
Iu the House this was private bill day.
THE WEATHER.
Washington, January 17, 4:19 p. m.—For
the New England and Middle States, rising
barometer, lower temperature, brisk and
fresh northeasterly to northwesterly winds
and generally clear weather. For the South
Atlantic States, winds rising to northeast
erly and northweaterly, rising barometer
and temperature and very generally clear
weather. From the Gulf to Lake Erie and
the upper lakes, northwesterly to northeast
erly winds and very generally clear and cold
weather.
F1RK OX SHIPBOARD.
Mobile, January 17.—The schooner C. S.
Bayles, which cleared January 15th for Ham
burg with one thousand two hundred and
fifty bales of cotton, was discovered to bo
on fire this afternoon at the wharf. The
fire was in tfie forward port-hold. Six steam
ers are playing upon her now. The schooner
will be saved, but the cargo will be damaged
seriously.

meeting of the Supervising Board on elec
tion matters to the bottom.
THE FLOOD IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, January 17.—Tho floods
are subsiding, and the danger of serious
damage is over, though the trains and
travel are somewhat delayed..
Washington, January 17.
By the President of the United States—
Executive order:
Whereas, It has been brought to the no
tice of the President of the United States
that many persons holding civil offices .by
appointment from him. otherwise under the
Constitution and laws of the United States,
while holding such Federal positions, accept
offices under the authority of the States and
territories in which they reside, or of the
municipal corporation under the charters
and ordinances of such corporations, there
by assuming tbe duties of the State, terri
torial and municipal office at the same time
that they are charged with the dnlps of the
civil office held under the Federal authority;
aud whereas, it is believed that with a few
exceptions the holding of two such offices
by the same person is incompatible
with a due aud faithful discharge of the du
ties of either office, that it frequently gives
rise to great inconvenience, and often re
sults in detriment to the public service, and
moreover is not in harmony with the genius
of this Government; in view of the premi
ses. therefore, the President has deemed it
proper to declare, and hereby to give pub
lic notice that from and after the 4th day of
March, A. D. 1873, except as herein speci
fied, persons holding any Federal civil of
fice by appointment under the Constitution
and laws of the United States will be ex
pected, while holding such office, not to ac
cept or hold any office under any State or
Territorial Government, or under the char
ter or ordinances of any municipal corpora
tion; and farther, that the acceptance or
conti med holding of any such State, Terri
torial or municipal office, whether elected or
by appointment by any person holding civil
office as aforesaid under the Government of
the United States, other than judicial of
fices under the Constitution of the United
States, will be deemed & vacation of the
Federal office held by such person, aad
will bo taken to be, and will be treated
as a resignation by such Federal of
ficers of his commission or appoint
ment in the service of the • United States;
the offices of Justices of the Peace, of
Notarys Publics and of Commissioner to
take the acknowledgment of deeds, of bail,
or to administer oaths, shall not be deemed
within tho purview of the order, and are ex
cepted from its operation, and may be held
by Federal officers. The appointment of
Deputy Marshal of the United States may be
conferred upon sheriffs or deputy sheriff)
and deputy postmasters, ^e emoluments of
whose office i^>es not exceed six hundred dol
lars per annum, who are also excepted from
the operation of this order, and may accept
and hold appointments under State, terri
torial or municipal authority, provided the
same be fonnd not to interlere with the dis
charge of the duties as postmaster.
Heads of Departments and other tftficers
of the government who have the appoint
ment of subordinate officers a're required to
take notice of this order, and to see to the
enforcement of its provisions and terms
within the operation of their respective de
partments or offices, and as relates to the
se veral persons holding appointments under
them respectively. By order of the President.

MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington,January 17.—At a meeting
of the Board of ^Supervising Inspector* to
day annual reports were presented by the
Supervising Inspectors in the Second, Sev
enth and Eighth Districts. Supervising In
spector General Nimmo announced the fol
lowing standing committees for the year
1873 :
On Pilot Rules for the Western Rivers—
Stephenson, Burnett and Houston. On Life
Saving Apparatus—Houston, Menshaw and
Bemis. On Boilers and Machinery—Low,
Rogers^ud Devinny. On Pilot Rules for the
Lakes aud Sbaboard—Ralph, Low and Steph
enson. On Fire Apparatus—Menshaw, Ralph
afid Rogers. On Amendments to the Law—
Guthrie, Stephenson and Barnett. On Print
ing and Blank Forms—Devinny, Bemis and
Guthrie. On Safety Valves and Guages—
Rogers, Devinny and Menshaw. On Rules
and Regulations—Bemis, Houston and
Stephenson.
On Discipline of Licensed Officers—Bur
nett, Guthrie and Ralph. On Annual Re
ports—Bemis, Devinny and Low.
The death of I. F. Hill, of Boston, was an
nounced and the Board adjourned in respecs
to his memory.
There was a full Cabinet to-day, but tbe
business was unimportant.
R. C. Cox, the brakesman, who was killed
at Alexandria by a railroad accident, was
well known throughout the South. His
funeral wasjargely attended by the citizens
aud railroad people.
ELECTRIC BREVITIES.
It is rumored in Versailles lobbies that
the Legitimists and Orleanists have formed
a coalition.
The Arkansas Legislature have had another
ineffectual Senatorial ballot.
The steamer Tybee brings full confirma
tion of the lease ot Samana Bay to an Ameri
can company, and of its ratification by the
Dominican Government.
New York, January 17.—There is another
dense fog this morning, rendering ferry
navigation tedious and dangerous.
There was a small panic in St. Dennis Ho
tel last night, caused by a fire in one of the
rooms, which, however, occasioned only
slight damage, and was soon extinguished.
The Rev. W. C. Clarke has been expelled
from the New York Conference of the Meth
odist Church for carrying on a lottery, osten
sibly for the benefit of a Mission House and
freo Reading Room. Clarke continues to
serve a church of his own in Brooklyn, and
is apparently successful.
The report of tho finding of a bottle [of
strichnine in the cell lately vacated by .Stokes
is erroneous. Tho drug was nox vomica, and
had been medically prescribed.
The Secretary of tho Samana Bay Company
says it is stipulated with the Dominican
Government that the company is to protect
itself from outside interference. But the
company counts upon the sympathies and
aid of foreign Governmets, not their opposi- ■
tion. Tho company will first declare Samana
Bay a free port to the whole world.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald states that Congressmen consider
the Samana Bay scheme impracticable, and
that the Haytien Minister thinks the Ameri
can purchasers will find that they have made
a bad speculation, tho Bay being fit for
nothing but a naval station.
The Rev. Josiah Leavitt, D. D., associate
editor of the Independent, died at Brooklyn
last evening from apoplexy.
Albany, January 17.—The Democrats and
Liberals in caucus have nominated Charles
Wheaton for United States Senator.
New Orleans, January 17.—Thero has
been another ballot by the People’s legisla
ture. Warmoth received thirty votes. No
choice.
SPREAD OF THE EPIZOOTIC.
Cheyenne, January 17.—The horse dis
ease is here. Many government horses are
affected.
Congress and the Railroads.—Senator
Vickers has been requested by the Senate
Committee on Commerce to undertake the
inquiry into the general power of Congress
to regulate the operations of the railroads
of the country, which the Senate directed
the committee’ to make. The magnitude of
the task is so great, involving research and
investigation going back to tne verv founda
tion of the Government, that it will be sev
eral weeks before. the Senator can conclude
it. It has been supposed by many that there
was no judicial decision on record touching
directly on this question, but it seems this
is a mistake.
Mr. Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court,
a year or two ago, in a case before him in
one of the Western States, involving legality
of certain tolls over a railjoad bridge, did
exactly what Chief Justice Tanev wu-. so
much censured for in the Dred 8coti decision.
There was no question submitted as to the
powers of Congress, but Justioe Miller, in
rendering his decision on the questions
reallv at issue, traveled out of his wav and
laid down the broad rule that Congress, tin
der the commerce clause in the Constitution,
had full power to regulate railroad fare^ Ac.
No appeal was taken on the issue reall v be
fore \ne court, and as a consaauence, the
whole decision stands to this day unchal
lenged.— Washington Cor. Baltimore Sun.
