Florida Affairs.
In aUuding recently to the St. Augustine

ney, we stated that he was fourteen years of
age. We were mistaken. The little fellow
is only eleven. We read every word of his
paper with great interest, which is more
than wo can say for some of oar more pre
tentions exchanges. Little Theodore is a
prodigy, and will make his mark some day.
Iu the meantime we trust our little friend
will continue sending us his exceUent little
paper.

requesting the Senators and Representatives
of Florida in the Congress ot tho United

appropriation for the survey and estimates
of cost of a ship canal across tho Peninsula
of Florida fr om the water of the Gulf of
Mexico along the line of waters of the With-
lachouchee, Blue Spring, Silver Spring, Ock-
lawaha and St. John’s rivers, and their ad
jacent lakes, to the waters of tlie Atlantic
Ocean, by the most direct and practicable
route.
The Palatka Herald says: “The announce
ment has been made by somApf our visitors
that from some unaccountable cause tbe
waters of tbe point off Devil’s Elbow were
much disturbed on Monday last. We are
assured that on Tuesday, the day following,
the water spouted up at tho same point
some ten feet in the air, after which thgre
was a large swell, indicating the existence of
some monster beneath the surface of the
water. Fishermen on the opposite bank of
the river say that on the night after the
above occurrence careering fires were plain
ly to be seen Hashing on and above the sur
face of tho water, all of which may or may
not be accounted for. We only state the
matter as received by us.”
^ The Herald also lias this: No part of
Florida presents a climate or soil better
adapted to the growth of the orange than
the lauds around Palatka. Thousands of
acres are open suitable to its production,
and they can be had on reaso lable terms.
Land can be bought of our citizens for ten
dollars and upwards per acre, dependent on
the locality for its value—the laud requires
oulv industry and attention to be canopied
with the golden fruit. There is no business
that requires so small a capital and yields so
large au income as oranges. A man pos
sessed of one thousand bearing trees is worth
a fortune. No business requires less atten
tion to commence, no outlay Aat tho planta
tion. farm or vegetable garden requires is
necessary. All nen can judgo of the cost of
planting out young trees and amount of land
necessary without our giving the figures.
Sufficient to say, twenty acres of land plant
ed with orange* trees near this place would
yield a larger income than usually proceeds
from a capital of fifty thousand dollars in
vested in merchandise. Heretofore oar peo
ple looked to raising cotton as the only source
of agricultural wealth. The war has made
a vast change in that product, hence, the
orange, which heretofore we planted for or
nament, will now have the proper attention
paid to it that its merits demands. A visit
to Mr. Hart’s grove and others, or a walk
around the town, will show the most doubt
ing and cautious believer. The mine of
wealth that is contained in the orauge plant
ed in Putnam county—which, for delicacy or
ilavor, certanly of cup and freedom from
blight, in tnis county far surpasses the same
fruit planted in the best lands of the other
portions of the State.
In their native State wo have the sour and
bitter sweet orange in abundance; of the
sweet orange tbe greatest number being the
offspring of tbe Havana orange. We can
but hope that those persons who desire to
secure lauds for orange groves will come to
this section and examine for themselves,and
come in summer when they can judge more
favorably of the climate. Here they can pro
cure any quantity of lands close to a town,
having connection by sail and steam with
the markets of the world, and where they
will find a people glad to welcome the hon
est man who desires to cast his lot amongst
them. Wo would say, that in no part of
Florida can you procure a placo more suit
able in respect for an orange grove, and
where tbe great advantages of churches,
schools, markets, good society, liberal and
intelligent people and communicative with
the rest of the world combined, are to be
found, thus bringing within the capacity of
the man of moderate or even small means
nn orange grove worth a fortune to him as
is to be bad in tbe lands around Palatka.
We wiU be happy to give any information in
our power to any person on this subject,
and our citizens generally wiU take pleasure
so to do. If you want a fortune come and
plant oranges in and around Palatka.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
[Correspondence Morning News.]
Washington, D. C., Jan. 26,1873.
CREDIT MOBILIER.
These words will be incorporated iu the
next new dictionary as the synonym of
bribery, corruption and swindling, espe
cially of a legislative character, The Con
gressional Mephislo, Ames, who tempted
verdant Senators and Congressmen, in
cluding the presiding officers ot both
Houses of Congress, into Credit Mcbilier,
and who, in the bigness of his heart in his
desire “to help everybody,” permitted
each of the innocents to toil their own
story in their own way to suit themselves
before tbe Committee, awoke one morn
ing recently to find himself carrying the
whole odium of the Credit Mobilier trans
actions in partnership with his chuip,
Alley, while Congressmen and Senators
were slipping out of the meshes of the
net in wt^ch they were caught In con
nection with this, Ames and Alley found
that in shielding Congressmen they wtre
making a^base t y which McCouib would
win hia-law suit against the Credit Mo
bilier Company, involving three hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars; and
that Ames would bo responsible to his
brother stockholders for dividends which
he had paid over to tho holders of the
stock that he had “placed where it would
do the most good.” When the tvin A’s
looked tho matter square in the face, it
was determined that rt did not p*y to be
a Congressional scapegoat, and so Ames
beached on his confederater.
The result is that of ail who made
statements. Speaker Blaine and .Senator
Wilson came out uasinirohtd. Colfax,
Senator Patterson, Pig Iron Keiley, Alli
son, Schofield, and Garfield arc more or
less damned politically and personally—
Garfield loss than the rest; Colfax, Rel-
ley aud Patterson are clean gone. Demi
john A. Bingham took the ball by tbe
horns and confessed to bnyiug the stock,
which he claims he had the right to do.
Any twelve men in the eountry would
convict Senator Patterson of rank per
jury, When poor Smiler Coilax was
done cross-examining Am<.s, the latter re
marked that he had refreshed bis memo
ry, he had tho proofs, and hard sweating
would not get him (Colfax) out of the
scrape. Sad aud humiliating, that the
second officer of tho American Republic
should be placed iu a condition where a
brother culprit could so taunt him with
impunity. So it is, death, love and crime
levels all. Senator Logan’s name was
mixed up in yesterday’s evidence. Bring
John on the Ht&Qd, aud let’s see how good
he is at romancing. There is a large
amount of stock not yet accounted for.
Am*?s said it was not soid or given to au
official.
Gen. Grant’s name has been mentioned
indirectly with this stock. It is due to
him that the whole truth be told so that
there may be no doubts about the matter.
After the fall of the imnfaculate Vice-
President the people will readily believe
anything. Judge Poland, Chiirmau ot
tho Credit Mobilier Committee, on Fr:da3‘
said ihafc “there Las either been a great
difference of recollection or some very
extraordinary tampering with the truth.”
and he thought that Congressmen “should
own up like m c n what they have done
and not come whimpering around the
Committee trying to wrigyle out of it.”
Pig Iron Kelley did not know that he
owned ten shares Credit Mobilier stock,
aud forty of Uaion Pacific; innocent Pig
Iron, bnt when it came oat, he requested
Ames to tarn them over to Judge Poland,
subject to his order. So long as he has
the name he thinks he may as well have
the game, and his impocuniosity prompt
ed him to go for them.
WHO got it ?
Is the question now asked with regard to
the $126,000 that was distributed in this
city for “extra legal services,” at the time
when the bill passed directing the Treas
ury Department to pay the full interest of
the Pacific Railroad bonds. It is charged
that the newspaper men were among those
who reoeived tne douceur. The krights
of the quill are very atrxious to know who
these “gentlemen of influence” are who
control them and get dneats in largo
quantities for su doing. They clamor for
an investigation, so that their skirts may
bo cleared, as they one and all deny tho
soft impeachment. The general 4 impres
sion here is taat Congress mns: expel cer
tain members, but, being ot little faith, I
doubt it—nous verrona.

COTTON tax.
The question of refunding the cotton
tax collected in 1865-G6 and ’67 will come
np for consideration in tbe House on
Tuesday. Mr. B*:ck, of Kentucky, has
presented a bill to tbe Ways and Muans
Committee which provides for tbe return
of two-thirds of the tax collected. This
proposition will meet with’no favor in tho
House, as the bill agreed npon by a.J tbe
Southern members, without regard to
party, meets with general approval, now
that it has been so amended that tbe in
terests of the planters and fre^dm- n have
been carefully guarded. The impolicy of
imposing this tax is universally conceded,
and its uncDnstitutionality genarally so,
and the disposition in Congress is to make
redress. If this claim is a fraud, tbe
people of the Cotton States are not en
titled to a penny. If just they are entitled
to all of it, and if strict justice were done
interest should be added. This Govern
ment cannot afford to occupy the position
of a thief who compromises with the rob
ber by the payment of a portion of the
plunder, as proposed by Mr. Back’s bill.
No one can or does question the motives
which actuates Mr. Beck, as he stands far
above even a thought that borders on un
fairness .in any way, hence the surprise
manifested at bis introduction of a bill
that does not do full justice to tbe cotton
interest. The bill wili no doabi pass, aud
will be bailed not only as an act of justice,
but as one of practical reconciliation.
LOUISIANA MATTERS.
The Louisiana Investigating Committee
held a session and considered tbe mean
ing of the decisien promulgated by the
Supreme Court of Louisiana at New Or
leans when by a vote of threo to two it
decided in favor of the Kellogg Returning
Board. This gives the Kellogg office
holders possession of the State. The
question whether Congress could go be
hind the action of the highest tribunal of
a State that bad preserved proper rela
tions to the Federal Government was a
puzzler to the committee. It appears
that the legal right of certain members of
this Sapreme Coart to places on tbe
bench is bound up in this decision. The
whole case is a muddle of the largest pro
portions, which only a thorough exami
nation will unravel.
[From tke New Yori Herald of UaDday.)
THE SPECTROSCOPE IN ASTRON
OMY.
Lecture by Profraeor Young.
List evening Professor C. W. Young, of
Dartmouth College, lectured at Cooper
Institute on the astronomical uses of the
spectroscope. The hall was very well
filled, ft-ofess r Young spoke as follows:
He felt pome degree of trepidation at
speaking before a metropolitan audience
whioh hud so lately listened to Professor
Tyndal, that great scientific master, yet
he was somewhat reassured when he
thought that, having heard such a man,
they must have come to love science for
its own*sake. The spectroscope is tbe
most powerful instrument m modern sci
ence, wj^ch in ten years Las by its aid
discovered things which without it would
perhaps have been forever unknown. This
instrument allows the scientist to detect
the minutest trace of an element, the only
condition being that it shall be vaporized
and made luminous; each metal gives its
own characteristic spectrum, which an
expert is in no danger of confounding
with auy other; sodium gives a single or
doable lino of yellow light; strontiam
gives eight bright lines; silver is other
wise characterized, and when the spectra
are thrown upon the scene you readily
see that there is no mistaking one lor
another. When brass is vaporized it gives
the lines of copper and z.xxc being com
posed of those metals. As the lectnro is
to show what spectroscopy has taugut us
in regard to the nature of heavenly bodies,
it must be noticed that the elements will
give their spectra no matter how far away
they are, provided their light reaches the
earth.
The spectroscope used tn astronomical
observations differs in form from that
used for terrestrial purposes, but it is the
same in principle; its purpose beiug to
enable the observer to detect the lines in
the spectra and so to determine the na
ture aud condition of the subjects under
going examination. When turned upon
the sin the instrument gives the solar
spectrum of which, in photograph, Kir-
choff’s map is here given, showing the
lines which were first noticed by Wollas
ton, afterwards described by Fraunhofer,
whose name they bear—being called
Fraunhofer’s lines—but made of real
scientific value by Kirchoff when he dik-
covercd that the bright line of sodium
corresponded in position to a certain
black line in the spectrum, and that when
the light was passed through the vapor of
sodium the bright line became dark.
Spectrum analysis shows that all of the
sabstances present in thb earth are in the
sun, bnt thb reverse ft not necessarily
true, as in the spectrum of the chromo
sphere there are some lines the meaning
of which has not yet been explained.
Many metals have been shown to exist
in tne chromosphere, and some sub
stances which are not metals or gasses,
such as sulphur. These substances give
dark lines in the solar spectrum, but
col -red lines wheu burned on earth; their
lines are reversed; snlpfeur and cerium
cannot always be detteted in the chromo
sphere, probably because the lines are so
bright that the light behind cannot re
verse them; it is possible to tell wbat
metals are there, though it is impossible
to say what are not.
Kirchoff’s theory of the sun was that
snrrouuding the main body was a mass of
incandescent vapor, but spectroscopic
ex iminatioDS made during the eclipse of
1868 and the following year gave no evi
dence of the existence of such vappr, and
from other observation*, especially those
of 1871, it was rendered not doubtful that
tho dark lines are formed by metals exist
in'! in a great body of finely divided mat
ter about tho sun. Haggles turned the
spectroscope upon the stars, and, observ
ing Aldebarau, found titanium, iron, so
dium and hydrogen lines, indie Ring the
pres' nee of these metals, and altogether,
by Father Seccbi aud others, twelve st.irs
have been inves igated and found in
Uranus .two broad, dark bands, the mean
ing of which is not yet known, and the
plauets shining by rflected light give the
same lines as the sun. Bat they give
strong dark bands also. When the sun is
near the horizon its light comes to ns
through thick strata of air holding vapor,
and then the binds maybe detected in its
spectrum. It the bauds mean a vapor-
laden atmosphere, it is not impossible
that Venus and Mars, whose spectra show
them strongly, may be inhabited. This,
however, is mere conjecture, and valueless
as scienoe. The spectroscope ha3 been nnn >T1TTr ^ ..

Daring one of bis observations he found
violent disturbance at a^iarticnlar time,
and fonnd that at that instant violent
magnetic storms were raging on tbe
earth. That night there were brilliant
displays of aurora borealis, and s nee
then it has been pretty well sclt’ed that
disturbances in the chromosphere
stantly enuse magnetic changes in the
earth. It has been fouud from spectre
scopic observation that tbe temperature
of the chromospnere is sometimes 1
enough to allow gases to combine. In
1869 the corona was round to give brigh
l;u«s, showing it to be self-iuminouo, and
is composed partly of hydrogen. To
conclude. It has been showD by means
ot the spectroscope within tbe lad ten
years that tbe ntbulae and comets are
self-luminous, aud therefore consist of
glowing gas; that some stars are recedi
from and others moving towards us, and
this splendid instrument has detected tLe
physical constituents of the sun, and
shown its meteorology.
A Sad Stobt. —A sad story is told of
foreignei, who. being desirous of coming
to America and no-, having tho means to
pay bis passage, applied to the Captain of
the City of Washington, of tho Inman
Line, lor permission to work his way to
New York. The steamer was .jns: about
taking her departure from Liverpool, and
as the engineer was somewhat short of
hands the Captain employed the man in
the capacity of a coal trimmer, a position
requiring little or no experience, but ar
duous and exhausting iu the extreme.
The man, who gave his name as Bran
nugac, had no idea of the ordeal which
he was about to undergo, and joyful!;
seized npou the opportunity off-red him
for reaching the New World. B fore the
steamer had been twelve hours out, how
ever, he bitterly repented his rashness,
aad ou arriving at Queenstown he re
quested to be sent ash re. It was too late
to draw back now, as his name Lad been
•utt red on the ship’** books, and he was
toHl he most weather it as best he cou d.
When the steamer was on the poiut of
leaving Brannagan was found to have nm
accountably disappeared. A habty searc
was made, and he was at list found
stowed away in the hold, having, as a last
effort tu escape the voyage, attempted in
this way to gain the shore unnoticed. He
was sent back to his Work, but being nn
able to perform the duties assigned him,
he.went on deck and to the horror ot the
passengers, plunged into the sea iu the
hope of being able to swim ashore. He
was a good swimmer, but it was impossi
ble to weather such a sea as was theu
running. Fonr men started in a boat to
the r-scue, and after a perilous enconntei
with the waves, during which tho boat
was several times capsized, tho drowning
man was bronght back to the steamer.
Efforts was made to resuscitate the poor
fellow but without effect, and iu an hour
after being rescued he was prouounced
dead and his remains were committed to
the ocean.
A Minister and His Family Frozen to
Death.—One of the most heartrending
cases of loss of life by lre^zing, occuirei
last week, about fonr miles northwest of
Granger, in this connty. It happened
that on Tuesday, the day the great st- rm
began. Mr. Evans, a Welsh minister of
the Gospel, was away from homewifh his
wife and two children. On his return in
the evening, the storm overtook him, and
it appears, when within three-quarters o!
a mile ot his owu house, a snowdrift
stopped farther progress in that direction.
From tho indications, it is supposed he
took his oldest child out of the cutter and
carried it home, alter which, taking a
couple of blankets, he return- d to tbe
cutter, wrapped his frail wife in the blank

More Spanish Barbarity in Cuba.—
Havana, January 24. — The schooner
George Steele, from Savannah for King
ston, was lost on the northeastern coast
of Cuba daring the gale of the 13th inst.,
sixty miles from Baracoa. All on board
were saved. On tbe 16.b inst. a party of
100 soldiers and sailors came to the place
where the shipwrecked party were and
advised them to leave, as it was necessary.
Everything was abandoned, and a march
of twenty-seven miles through the woods
to a place where a Spanish gunboat was
to be found was undertaken by the party.
Notwithstanding the many hardships at
tending such a journey the wife of tbe
captain of the George Steele, with her
child, withstood them. The whole party
reached the gunboat and were conveyed
to Baracoa, where they took passage in a
coaster and came to this port.

expulsion of senators.
It is the general impression that Sena

The expenses of tbe Department of
Jastice for the last year are considerably
over three millions. This is just twice
as much as under Andrew Johuson’s Ad

A comic incident happened the other
night at the Theatre Apollo, Rome, dur
ing the performance of a ballet. Iq the
middle of the Btage a fountain was send
ing forth a spray of real water amid the
applause of the spectators. All at once
the jet fell, the water ceased, and at the
same time a crowd of frightened ladies,
in all manner of undress, bounded across
the stage. The reservoir pipes had burst
and inundated the dressing rooms. The
scene may be imagined, nor did the ex
citement of the public enu even when the
curtain was lowered and all hands called
to the pumps.
but when the spectroscope was turned
upon them, they were found to be incan
descent gas, fur their spectra gave bright
bauds, as did also those of the comete,
although in the latter case tho proof was
uot certain, *.incethey might be composed
of fluorescent matter—quinine, for in
stance. What was proved, however, is
that they shine with their own and not by
reflected light.
This great instrument has also shown
us the motions of tbe stars, telllDg which
are receding from and which approach
ing towards us. This proot turns npon
the vibratory theory of light, according
to whioh light is caused by excet dingly
rapid motions or molecales. According
to this theory tbo rays which strike the
face of prism most rapidly are least re
fracted from their course. If a body emit
ting light recedes rapidly from a prism
less impulses will strike tbe face of the
prism each second than if it'were stand
ing still; it it approaches rapidly mure im
pulses will be received and transmitted,
and the lines in the spectrum of the light
will be bent in a direction opposite to
that in which they will be sent if tbe
body be receding, because in the first
case tho vibrations smitiDg the prism
with great velocity will be less bent from
their course than when the luminous body
is stationary, and in the latter case will
be more greatly refracted. The spec
trum of Sirius shows that that star is re
ceding from the earth at the rate of about
thirty or forty miles a second; Aldebaran
and others are, as Huggins showed last
summer, also receding, while Arcturns is
coming towards us with a velocity of
about fifty-five miles a second. Some
time ngo Mr. Proctor asserted that cer
tain five stars iu Ursa Major bad a proper
motion ol their own, and that if tbe spec
troscope should be 'turned upon them
they would be found to be going in the
same direction, and they have been shown
to bo receding. If ever a spectroscope
shall bo inveuted to take cognizance of
the thwart motions of the stars avast and
new field of knowledge will be opened np.
Thwart motions can now be determined
only by comparing old astronomical ta
bles with new, and the observations must
be taken at least a hundred years apart;
the spectroscope can in ten minutes do
such work in regard to motions to and
from the earth. In the solar eclipse of
1842 brilliant protuberances were noticed
around the limb of tbe moou at tbe mo
ment of total obscuration, and questions
arose as to their nature, which was set
tled during the eclipae in India in 1868,
when Lockyer and Janssen and Tennant
saw the lines of tbe spectra: thus show
ing them to be of incandescent gas; the
spectra were so bright that it was thought
they might be seen in daylight, as Hug-
gius bad said they could be if tbe protu
berances were gas; the experiment was
tried and succeeded; they may be ex
amined every day and their motions ob
served. The spectram of the chromo
sphere (of which the protuberances are a
part; is more complicated than it was
once thought to be, aud only last summer
the speaker, while on a mountain on the
route of the Pacific Railroad, had de
tected two hundred and seventy-three
bright lines; nor has he any doubt that if
it were possible to get above the disturb
ing effect of the atmosphere, he would
find the whole solar spectrum reversed.
The changes iu the chromosphere ara as
rapid as those of the clouds ou earth, and
by the means of measuring recession and
approach already mentioned it can be told
when these changes are taking place;
sometimes tbe line in tbe spectram will
be bent one way. sometimes another, and
sometimes be broken np, and in this way
the speaker had measured masses of hy
drogen coming towards the earth at tbe
rate of one hundred and fifty and two
hundred miles a seoond.
public, the Minister of the Iuiurior says
that, id virtue of the treaties of peace
with Germany, 1,689 communes, com
prising a population of 1,597,238 souls,
were given up by the vacquDned to the
victorious country; although from this
number must be deducted that of tbe
A'satians and Lorrainers who gave their

quitted the country. That number, bow
ever, now that all the truth is known, is
not very great, and gives little consola

roundly put at a million and a half. But
a graver and more ominioasly suggestive

Wooden Rails.—The wooden railroads
in the vicinity of Quebec have attracted
some attention. It appears lhat there ar
now a;handred miles in operation. The
gauge is 4 feet 8i inches. The ranning
time is about 16 miles per hour, but trains
have been run at the rate o( 35 miles per
Lour. The rails are mad_* of maple, 4
inches by 7 inches, set up edgewise, and
notched into tbe cross-ties 4 inches deep,
and held by two wedges down in the
notch on the outside of the rail. The ties
are 8 inches thick and laid 20 inches
apart The cars have l’oar wheels, and
some of the engines weigh 30 tons I&
frosty weather the driving-wheels have
less adhesion than on metal rails, but no
considerable difficul'y is experienced from
this cause. The rails will last from two
to four years, according to the quality of
the timber *nd the amount of the traffic.
The cost of such roads is from $4,000 to
$7 000 per mile. They seem to be very
well adapted for* light traffic, and as soon
as tbe business of such lines may require
it, metal rails may bo substituted for wood
witnout any change iu the equipment.
iFrom the Au^us.a Constitution-list 1
Restoring the Neat of Government to
Milledgeville.
As a distinct aud independ-ut proposi
tion the people of Georgia would proba
bly never have consented to tho removal
o! the seat of government from Milfrdge-
ville. Bat the measure was carried oy
being incorporated in the new Constitu
tion, which was voted for in its totality.
Ever since, a large portion of the people
have been restive and discontented under
an arrangement which compelled them to
submit to laws enacted ;n Kimball’** Operi
House—a property originally built for
other purposes, but ill adapted for a
State House—and imposed by a trick and
at an exorbitant price upon the State.
And now that the building is ascertain
ed to be shaky, and grave apprehensions
are entertained that it may some fine day
come tumbling down upon the head.- of
our Legislators, the discussion grows ani
mated on the proposition to restore the
se tt of government to Milledgeville. That
city has a strong claim on equity aud good
faitb, which the change to Atlanta has
not w eakened. It is about the geographi
cal centre of the State, salubrious in
ciimate, accessible by railroads from all
quarter*. It is free, and would ia all
probability continue free frc-m undue
local influences, rings and combinations,
supposed to concentrate ia large cities,
and will offer no enticemeuU to legisla
tors to delay business, and neglect duty
in favor of personal pleasures aad in
terests. 0:i tbissenre, we have no special
complaints to record, or**accasalions to
make, and me.tn no disrespect to Atlan
ta, bat reason simply npon obvious ten
dencies.
These remarks are suggested by the
following paragraph clipped from the
Savannah Morning News of last Satur
day :
Removal of the Capital to Milledge
ville.—Tho Macon Telegraph of yester
day says:
“We are informed oa authority t ; at
seldom makes mistakes, that a decided
majority of the Legislature i strongly in
fj.vor of the removal of the c oital to the
< ld and righ'.ful seat of government, Mu-
ledgeville. We do not knowr what will
bathe result o: this opinion on the part of
the members of De General Assembly,
but we are assured tbit if the question
eoukl be brought to a vote now, there
would be no sort of doubt as lo the re
sult. Would it not be wdll, by way of
testing the sense of the representatives of
the people ou this question, that a vote
should be taken? We shall never rest
easy until the last vestige of Bullockism
has been buried in a deep aud dishonored
grave.”
Wo heartily second tbo motion, and en
dorse the views of the Telegraph in refer
ence to the removal of the Slate Capital
to Milledgeville, its time-honored seat.

fatally shot by John B. Hill, at the resi

that he came home about nine o’clock p.
m., aud remained on the lower floor of
b:s residence until about eleven o’clock,
when he prepared to retire. At this time
tho servant girl, who Lad been iu the
yard for fno 1 , came running up stairs und
informed him that there was a strai.ge
man in the house. He immediately took
out his revolver, and, going down stairs
to the dining-room, saw a man advanc
ing toward h m. and believing th« per-
s -n t^be bu ’.ar he fired, and without
wai-irg to see the resalt of the shot, run
to the pavement, fired two other shots
and ca!i- d for assistance.
Mr. Hill was ta^ea into custody, and
the body of the deceased was taken in
cbaigii and removed to the seventh pre-
cinct station house. An inquest was held,
t.nd the testimony developed th6 facts
that the deceased Lad been seen in an in
toxicated condition on the night of his
death, and that an intimacy existed be-
tvvecd the deceased and the servant girl
mentioned above.

Dividing the Geneva Award. —Al
though the money awarded to the United
States for the A'abama claims by the
Geneva Arbitrators has not yot been paid
over by Great Britain, Congress is already
endeavoring to devise a method of divid-
ng it justly among the claimants. The
two houses, however, widely differ in
their ideas of how this ought to be done.
Thu Senate desires to create a special tri
bunal of five commissioner*, who are to
have charge of the fund, and award it to
the respective claimants, and for this pur
pose u bill has been framed by the Senate
Judiciary Committee. In the Hon*e the
!an is to have the United States Courts
djadicate the claims, the claimants pre
senting their petitions in the District
Courts of their respective districts. This
latter plan emanates from General Batler,
who has prepared a bill embodying it,
aud tlie House Judiciary Committee has
authorized him to report it. There is
so decided a differenco of opinion be
tween th*» two Houses on the subject, that
is leared iu Washington tbe two plans
cannot be reconciled, and that no measure
can consequently be perfected at this ses
sion for distributing the award.

and an encounter between tbe dog and
robber was the result. The brave little
eanine amused, bis antagonist until his
master came oat and joined iu tbe melee.
The eagle, with instinctive boldness,

fies all human skill.
So thoroughly impregnated with saccharine
matter were the urinary deposits of the sick man,
that when subjected to evaporation, candy had
aciuall? been the residuum. Most of his living
had besn spent unavailingiy for medical advice
and treatment, aud death seemed inevitable.
Butin the bauds of hio eminent practitioner, his
restoration has been rapid and complete, and
cow he appears on ihe stand to tell the story of
his unexpected resurrection almoet from the very
jaws of the grave.
Dr. Jones is dally performing other ■^onderftil
cures, and his fame ia drawing to him patients
even from the neighbo ing States. Yesterday he
performed delicate and successiul operations
upon two ladies for cross eyes and cataract, one
of whom had ceme from bouth Carolina to con
sult him. In diseases of the ear, too, he is
tqually skillful, snd inserts artificial drums or
tyrapanume, when that organ has been destroyed
by concussions or otherwise. These are very cu

Remarkable and Great Cure of Diabetsw—
(StTQABI* THE URINE)— BY Dr. J. A. JONE8.—For
nearly three jears I was sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabetes—sugar in the urine—
daring which time my Bufferings language could
not descirbe. My disease was contracted in sep-
t.-mber, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in
the employ of Ocl. Edmund Harrison, lu Mont
gomery, Ala., who knows of my case well. I was
treated by a 1 the best physicians of the principal
Southern cit.es, and nearly all < f them gave up
my case as incurable, after treating me for weeks
or mouths. I also tried the mountain air of Bir
mingham. Ala., and tried bittern and all kinds of
patent m-dlcines. Nothing reached my disease,
or touched the root of it, or changed my urine,
which was white, and soon after beiug voided in
the sun crystilized into sugar. I had to get up
every half hour during the night to drink and
void water. Everything I ate and drank turned
into sugary urine; and thus, by onness, I was
wasted and reduced from a strong, healthy, stout
man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton of 69 pounds.
Forty-eight hours sfier I commenced Dr. Jcnes'
treatment my urine changed to a natural color
with the natural odor, aud in a few da^s my pains
and ills all left me, and I feel as well as I ever did
In my life; have good, natural appetite, natural
and regular bowels, aud am gaining my former
activity and strength dally, but my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bad effects of the mur-
cury, iron, arsenic, etc., given me before I saw
Dr. Jones. I have not taken over an ounce of
medicine from Dr. Jones, and it was pleasant to
take, and he never changed his remedy, and gave
me but one small bottle of that, but it went to the
very spot, and I and my wife both saw that I was
cured, and I both felt and saw it after the first
twenty-four hoars’ awe of Dr. Jones’ medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great
physician, for my sh.oud was prepared and at my
bedside, and my disease was pronounced incura
ble by so mauy physicians, some of them stating
that no person had ever been cured of diabetes.

having bees injured much br drugs given me by
family doctors—I came to Dr. Joues, who ex
amined me at once, told me he could again make
me comfortable and save mv life by his peculiar
