With the “facts in the case, ari^ common sense,” she proposes hereafter to be her own client, as it is cheaper and more to her interest in the final results. The Augusta Chronicle says: In addition to the Atlantic and Great Western Canal project, which is now claiming the attention cf Congress, the subject of another nation al water-way has been broached. The new scheme has for its object the connection of the waters of the Cumberland, Saluda and Savannah rivers by a series of canals which, it is claimed, can be constructed with little labor and at little expense. The advocates of tho measure contend that it will accom plish all that can be accomplished by the Atlantic and Great Western Canal—give a direct navigable route, open during tho whole year—between the Western States a South Atlantic harbor, while its cost will not be half as great.

To-day, a‘ 1 o’clock p. m., a fine an di ene- assembled in the Chancellor’s Hall of the University of Georgia to bear the Inaugural Address of Dr. E. M. Pendle ton, the new Prolessor of Agriculture. It was an occasion of marked interest, a significant one, too, as showing the pro gress and growing power of the venerable Univertity, and its wise adaptation to the great wants of Georgia. The hall was crowded—Trustees, Faculty, citizens and stadents meeting to hear the new Pro fessor, and honor his entrance on what all regard as a good and nobl * work for the State. The exercises began with the following hymn, composed for the occaaion. The music of the choir was admirable, and added much interest to the hour: Thou his s t all the borders of thu earth; thou hast rnado summer and winter—Psalm 74—17. L God of the varied Year, Each season channts thy praise, Ono voice iu every sphere. One heart—to Thee, they raiss; For they—like Thee—are one, 1 hey know no name but Thine; Like light la stars and sun, Tirruugh tht m Thy glories shine. n. Christ’s prayer for daily bread, They evermore fulfill; All earthly ble-isings shed Glad tokens of Hi* will; Ye: other truths they teach Of struggle and of strife; How summer, winter, each Doth make tho spirit’s l:fe. Thine, Lord, the snowy height, Where winter chilli the *ky. Thine, too, the glacier’s might ‘Neath which, lakes hidden lie, Whence issuing rivers 11 >w Through tropic field and plain. Where summer’s harvests glow Iu wine and golden grain Seasons before Thee stand, Waiting thy word to hear; Girt, like an Ang«l*Band, For thee, they rale the Year; Thus, may we serve Thy name, Thus, bring Thee all our days; Returning whence they came. Hies; tribute* to Thy praise Then followed a most appropriate and earnest prayer by the Rev. C. W. Lane of the Presbyterian Church. After this the annexed original hymn was sung: • liut the earth hath given to tho children of men.’*—Psalm 116—16. ••Have d mmion over the fish of tho eea anijove- tbe fowl of the air, and over all the earth.— Genesis i—28 Hail God’s decret! Adorn the earth. Relight with joy its laded face; And here, where Kden had Its birth, Build palace fit for Christ’s own race; A royal race that bear* His name, .shunId make Earth’s footstool ilke His Throns, BaMPh each trace of woe and shame. Till Christ’s own image shine alone. xi. Snbdae it to thy sceptred arm. * J ill winds snd waters, thee obey; Aint truer lyre than Orpheus’, charm All fields and forests t.o thy sway: Then—through thy Lord—repeat the bread Which ministers tc sorrow’s need; Bound lowly home* thy bounty shed In miracles of word and deed in. There’s not a flower that scents the air, Nor mossy tnft. nor purpling vine. Which doe* not ho*d his i*iag.* fair. And with his Monarch’s glory shine; Nay more; how sweet the love and trust That here, a touching Go.ipel breathe; Where weary hearts—trail a* their dust, Christ's emblems find, Christ’s Cross to wreathe. Go, watch the Victor on the Sea! The sky lies clasped in all its waves, While rolling night in billows free With starry beams, his footsteps lavei; Earth’s onrse is cursed! Its work is done; Thorn* crown our Christ! Blood seals their .do'im; For ns that triumph has been won— For u- shall Eden once more bloom. Dr. Pendleton was then introduced by Chancellor Lipsoomb, and was warmly greeted by ihe audience. The Doctor read an address, which occupied nearly au hour, aud was heard w.th close and thoughtful attention. It was a calm, wel'-- , Oiiside:ed and most earnest appeal in behalf cl agriculture, both as a science an 1 an art—lacking nothing as to force, breadth and completeness iu an in augural. As it will probably ba pub lished, I shall not anticipate its thoughts and arguments, but will merely touch its leading characteristics. Nothing Vas exaggerated or overdrawn. The work ol the farmer and planty was sketched; the real work of understanding nature’s laws and conforming to their re quirements—and this genuine woik was wisely discriminated as being neither “Routine Funning” in the old style, nor “Fancy Farming” under the impulse of a utopian imagination. The introduction of scientific methods; the remarkable co incidence of disccveries opening the way to practice of these methods; the good re sults every where obtained when the methods themselves were rightly nsed; the steady strength of advance agriculture had shown since Baron Liebig first stood forth as the great pioneer of the move ment; were all vigorously aud skillfully handled. Aside from this, I liked the manly tone which pervaded the address. It was full of soutfd advice to the young men, urging upon them the claims of in telligent industry as the ordained means to build up their own virtues and promote the interests of civilization. I have rarely fipent a more agreeable and profitable hour/ The address was a hviDg thing all through; fall of pith and point, direct and straight-forward, and every way most creditable to Dr. P. and to the University. I only add that it was iceU heard, for certainly better listening on the part of all present I never witnessed. After the address came the hymn, here with sent: • They helped every one his neighbor: and every one said to hi* neighbor: Be of good courage.”— Isiah 61, 6. \ X. Bright vision of prophetic dsy, No more thy promised bliss delay; With longing eycB aud lifted bands, Prayer waits thy »dvent to all lands; Let each to each in love be bound. And every spot be hallowed ground; Each work, each Art, its altar rdse, And all our toil be crowned with praise. it. No more let man his brother hate. Nor demon-Iuats each .day await; No more fair field* deipoiled by strife, Nor mocking peace vex all our life; In Thee let ail our works he found. To Thee let all our heatt - be hound. Each hour renew cur hopes with grace, And m.»ke our homes Thy dwelling place. Tben came the benediction by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of the Methodist Church, aud these attractive exercises dosed. Dr. Pendleton has been cordially wel comed here, and he has entered with zeal and spirit on his work. ihe new experimental farm will go into operation. These beautifui hymns were written by the honored Chancellor of the University, Rev. Dr. A. A. Lipscomb. Rcbalist. The Paris Constitutional, in remarking upon the suicide monomania in that oity, draws a distinction between the sincere and insincere suicides—the former being those who really wish to get rid of life and the latter those who attempt to do so merely as a means ot gainiog notoriety. It claimT tiiai suicide is only t xcusabie y.-Len Utah When otherwise, it thinks • here should be a wise and parternal law decreeing that, if the person attempting suicide ‘ did not succeed in killing mm- self*be should be immediately destroyed bv the Ministers of Jestice. The ohoice of he means of his execotion might be allowed him-!ba knife, poison lotme, precipitation from the height of the Aro' de Triompbe, banging, or -he Chassepot; the means J onld l matter if onlv the end were attainea.

Pabib, January 8, 1873. “The most remarkable woman is she who has most children,” retorted Napo leon to Madame de StaeL France is now of tho same advice in seeing a diminution 1 of one-third of a million, on thu total o' ' the population, during the last five years, and neither the cession of Alsace, the losses by war, or sickness, can explain as other thing than a sign of dt-generacy. Iu round numbers the present population of the country is 36,000,000. Ot coarse the deaths are greater than the births. In the census returns there is the strange disparity between the numbers of hus bands and wives—the latter exceeding the former by 32,000. This difference be tween what is considered equal factors, is what no fellow can understand—except ing French officials. It is the masculine sex that exhibits the highest diminution. The late war doos not account for the fac f , as the evil existed before 1870; neither does the tendency on the pan of the “ra- rals” to emigrate to the large centres of .nduatry explain the present tailing off in the increase of the people, since iu these centres even the increase is but very- slight. In the case ot Paris, however, the population is now 1,852,000, being over 70,000 more than before the siege. Patting aside causes which c<in only be alladed to behind closed doors, the French journals accept the diminution in the population, or even its resting sta tionary, as a fatal sign of degeneracy, and draw attention to the fruitfulness and consequent power of the Teutonic race The decadency of Rome may be traced to two prominent sources—a decline in the number of marriages, and a falling off in the number of births. There is a grow ing feeling among young men in France to regard married life as “a bore;” a state surrounded by too many perils and de manding too many sacrifices, despite the efforts of fathers to pinch themselves to provide a dowry for tneir daughters. Arf* Frenchmen approaching the times of Sy 11a, when peoplo ceased to marry? It is said the recognition of divorce would correct the evil. It did not remedy the mischief among the Romans, where di vorce was less difficult to effect than mar riage. Pompey had five wives—Caasar and Augustas three each. Pompey di vorcsd Mucia; Cicero his wife, Terentia— atter thirty years of married life—and Cato, tho younger, divorced also his. sponge, Marcia, to enable his odd “friend Hortensius” to marry her. Augustas paid evary marked honor to the married men, gave them tho highest seat* in the synagogues, relieved them trom many public burdsns, and bestowed upon them rewards. Yet the persecuted bachelors did not become Benedicts—did not see the necessity of the world being peopled. Concubinage, rather than marriage, is unhappily * n the i a crease in France, and hence the corrective most be :ound in altered manners. The Spartan plan of “taking proceedings” against those who married too late, or did not marry at all, is not to be thought of. In ancient times a father compelled his son to marry to check his extravagance; in modern times it is but too true, a wife promotes it in many cases. The wife of the period should have for model the Roman matron, who presided over her hoase, edacaied her children, guarded the honor of her home, and shared iu her husband’s success, la France, when a man marries, he is said to retire from the world, and his wife to eater it. Bath take differoat roads sub sequently; hence, arises the question, “why don’t the men propose, mamma?” The Assembly being considered by :ha nation as the equivalent for agitation, the Deputies have retrieved a little ot their character, by so far abstaining from transacting business—a role tbat people would heartily add amen to. Yet the Ro man question, and the ministerial scheme for gratuitous and obligatory education, will soon raise storms; may such as usual be confined to teapote ! The fir^t is as delicate as it is dangerous, and while di rectly affecting Italy, extends at tho same time, as far as Germany. The unity ol Italy is a stubborn fact. Tne education question has the clergy against it, and their influence is not to be despised. However, the next to certainty that the autumn of the present year will see the German aoconnt settled and general elec-« tions decreed, will compel Deputies to be more reflective as to their votes. Nothing serious will be attempted in the way of making a twelfth Constitution for j the country; this Penelope-task will be ! left for the new Parliament—tbat must I be elected on the ticket “Monarchy or Republic.” Pending the arrival of this millennium, the Assembly will keep an eye on the main chance—obtaining as much money as possible to mi:ke both end* meet There is a tendenoy that the government is returning to saner ideas on finance. It is not polite to look a gift horse in the mouth; but the high postal tariff is about being reduced to former prices. For example, the regis tration of letters is 100 per cent, less since last New Year’s Day. The good news was not proclaimed from the house tops, but on a slip of paper, iu the most fairy-style of penmanship, and posted as high a* a Draco decree, so that those who ran could not read : this pride, “the Romans would call stoicism.” Last week Paris was all smiles; this week she is all grimaces, because citizens have been balancing their books and know how they stand after meetigg all demands on their purses. The sight of a toy-shop, Ac., creates feelings now akin to the view of a gibbe*, or any refined in strument of torture. However, the pain having ceased it is to be hoped pleasure will soon return, for the dance of the francs has been fatiguing. Ahf it M. Gambetta would but include in his new “couches sociales” the whole tribe of the not-to-be forgotten classes, it would be a greater delight for the country than M. Thiers’ reception on New Year’s Day, or a Billy O’Rourke’s feast at the Prussian embrssy. By the way, how fortunate it was that M. Thiers did not “slip” after leaving Count Arnim's residence? His fall would certainly have been set down to an invention of the enemy; as it was, no one accuses- Lord Lyons ot any malice aforethought. Besides, tho ambassador of perfido Albion owed an Oliver to M. Thiers. Dining with the latter on one oc casion, Lord Lyons left at a late hour, on arriving at the vestiary, he stood just so. expecting the valet to’bring and hold his top-coat; after waiting a while, ho turned xound aod saw “James” encased in and buttoning himself up in the coat. H.s lord»hip requested the valet since he was inside the garment to keep it, and passed on directly to his carriage. If diplomacy were confined only to such phenomena instead of to de Grammont incidents and d« Beast good-wishes. The Fair on the Boulevards is over; the electric toy no longer shocks both as to price and effects; it is said the small boys received ex*ra tips from their mammas and grown-up sisters by threatening them with a discharge in full. Science made easy, has received an illustration, but at the twelfth hour, in ihe “mechani cal horse,” a toy wherein a horse without wheels, goes ahead, backs, walks, trots and gallops by means of a spring. To make the invention “draw” it was ex hibited alongside a tame hyena on a par with the hyena in love. The patriotic ioujou is the pile of five milliards in gold, exhibited by a woman, who has been for the last year occupied in preparing a parallelopipedon, twenty-four feet high, fifteen broad, and eleven deep, composed of rouleaux of gilt zinc pieces of twenty francs, to represent by an object lesson the ransom money fixed by Germany. It strikes the imagination much more torci- bly than the statistical picture of how many times that sum could be made to go round the globe in five franc pieces, or in thousand franc notes; ofthe nnmb ® r horses to draw it, or railway tracks to convey it. The exhibitor deserves the Legion of Honor for her industry, and a Treasury clerk for a husband. M. Lovson. formerly Carmehte--Fatber Hyacinth—has delivered an address on the Roman Oatholio Ohnroh in a J rotaB ; tmt meeting house. He admitted there was much that was excellent both in the Catholic and Protestant churches, but that he belouged to neither; he apper tained to the “church of the future”— whatever that may be—with perhaps Wagner’s music. M. Presaense suggested to him that he might, in that case, feel himself alone, and to beware of Vas which of course drew all eyes towards his wife. Naturally, the ex-priest was eloquent on the sabjact of matrimony, more than ever a parauftmnt qnestion, in face of a decreasing population.* The congregation left with tne impression that the ex-padre was tapidly becoming bald, aud that he stiil uses the silver cross which he wore in the pulpit of Notre D ime. His proi'jlytism makes about as much progress as the petition for the dis solution, of the Assembly. Twelfth night, called in France “Jour dts Roiis a merry festival. It is truly, respecting his elected majesty, a verita ble “what you will.” Since the concordat of 1801, the fete has been held on the 6th ot January, instead of Christmas Day. Perhaps France is the only country where a special g'dette, containing a Windsor beau, is made for the eveut. Formerly the cake and tun succeeded a black fast and penitence. But we have changed all that, as well as the decree of 1704, com pelling tife bakers to 6ell the cakes at ten seas each. After dinner the gaUtte ia pro duced and cut into morsels, according to the number of guests. He who finds the morsel with the bean, is chosen king by acclamation. The first thing his majesty does is to select a queen, which, like ordi nary mouarchs, he is often bound to ac cept contrary to his tastes, and to reward next day with a gift or a banquet Their majesties being married and enthroned, their will becomes law in the direction ot the revels. Old King Cole is the monarch whose reign is initiated, all his subjects soon feel like Tam O’Shanter. “O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious.” In 1521, Francis L while enjoying the fun of the fete was accidentally struck with a burning log of wood on the head. He afterwards had to wear his hair cut close, but fearing to be mistaken for a Monk, he permitted his beard to grow, and patronized his famous hat During the Fronde rows. Cardinal Maxann effected the escape of himself. Anne of Austria and the royal family, pending the fete des Rois, to Saint-Ger main, Parisians were naturally discon tented at losing a minister to enrse, and their sovereign, whom they never like to part with, especially when the capital is m a state of revolt, and thus has become uninhabitable. Oil the present occasion some Republican confectioners, out of compliment to M. Thiers, substituted an imitation pair of little spectacles, in place of the historical bean Indeed, M. Thiers has become such a “straightont Demo crat.” that when he attends a dinner of his late monarchal friends, be feels him- S; It to be a spectre rouge. Th'j municipality is devoting great at tention to the founding of public schools, so that they will soon be more numerous than the barracks. Jules Favre is oc cupied with a diplomatic work cn the Roman question, and rumor says he will send the proof-sheets to Prince Bismark for revision. The frontispiece of tbs book will have three figured tear-dropr, similar to what one meets with on French tombstones. M. Littre having been worthily entertained by a nnmbt-r of his idmirers in honor of tho completion of his grand dictionary, assured his friends that he was neither an Atheist nor a Deist, nor a Radical, and that he owed his seat in the Assembly to the fuel of his never making a speech. Suicides are still plentiful, but none of them interest ing, since no fashionable prostitute like Pearl Cruch, is mixed up with them. The journals hare ail “iven obituary notices of the defunct year; are unani mous in suubbing it; assert it does not deserve an epitaph, but write one, twenty columns in length, all the same. Among the eminent men lost to science, art, &c., during 1872, a newspaper by some mys terious blunder, includes the twenty-two murderers, &c., guillotined. A debtor has invited his creditors to an open-air meeting in the Champs de Mare, promising there to tell them a tale. “What age has your eldest brother?” demanded one small boy of another. “I don’t know,” was the reply, “but he is just commencing to curse.” The Emperor of Brazil has decorated M. Chevroul “for his noble aud courage ous conduct, iu conveying to a subter ranean shelter the animals of toe Zoologi cal Gardens, and sharing their fate, pend ing the bombardment of the city. “I cough no more,” said a consumptive patient, “so I commence to think I am ill.” “There is enough of porcelaine already in the house to break,” said a cook on seeing her master arrive with a “find” of of old china. A NICE RADICAL .SENATOR. The Present Governor of Florida and the Finances. Jacksonville, January 30, 1873 ; Editor Morning News : It may not be amiss to take an outlook from the standpoint assumed by the pres ent newly elected Governor, and endeav or to form some ideas of the results like ly to be attained from the coarse he has pursued since his inauguration. Daring the canvass, it was his oft-repeated decla ration that if elected to the Chief Magis tracy, his highest aim would be to lift the State from the fiaancial degradation, imposed under the misrule of his pre decessor, and in order to effect this most and all-important change, it would be his great duty to call to his Cabinet such men as wonld bring character, standing, and abili ty to the "“State offices.” How far has he succeeded in this particular? The character and standing of tho gentlemen be has called aroaud him is admitted to be good, but their abilities are of an or dinary it not of a rather inferior order. Noue of them are of reputed financial ability, neither is either of them known to possess any ability as a statesman. Should the Governor succeed no better in his appointment of county officersjit is self evident that the financial condition of Florida, instead of being raised from the slough of bankruptcy, will continue to go deeper down, until its recovery ia beyond redemption. No Governor over went into office un der more auspicious circumstances. It is yet not too late for him to retrace the false steps aiready taken, undoubtedly tnrough the weakest of advisers, and so shape his coarse that his official term will remain a monument to his memory. Un less he acts in accordance with his oft avowed determination before his election, he will, instead of inviting capital into the State, be the direct means of driving it out. There are Northern capitalists now in our city waiting to see what kind of of ficers the county of Duval will be com posed of before they will iuvest a dollar. If men of character, standing und abili ty are appointed to manage county affairs, they are ready and will invest thousands of dollars. On the contrary, if, to gratify a few politicians and the negro element, our county is to be officially disgraced, as it has beeu the past four years, no capital will seek investment in it Northern capitalists have no confidence in the management of ignorance. Thoy prefer men of ability, education and intelligence to manage their financial matters. The grave mistakes made by the Governor in the selection of his Cabinet can be partial ly remedied by better appointments in the counties, and he will be held responsi ble if he turns a deaf ear to the State’s best interests. Duval. This is the back-banded slap which the Philadelphia Press gives to a certain Pennsylvania Congressman: “Daceiye themselves as they may, gentlemen in Congress who have been investing in the Credit Mobilier can not ‘brave it out’ on the assumption that they had a right to buy into it. We desire to give them the full benefit of honest motives; but it is proper to say tbat any attempt to lay down the law that a Senator or Represen tative can become interested in schemes before Congress, or as an attorney can go before the departments and courts and take fees to support or oppose measures on which he has voted, or may vote, will be indignantly repudiated by the people." Patterson's Receipts and Letter—A. List and Perjurer Proved Guilty. Washington. January 25. The member of the Credit Mobiiier Committee, who coolly Sc*:d a few days ago that only a few newspapers were con cerned about the investigation, and that -the public felt no interest in it, would probably now confess his mistake.- Each day the public iu‘er«»t grows deeper, and nowhere is ike curiosity to learn the next startling revelation more prevalent than among members of Congress. Even the committee are new on tho alert and put questions “to find out,” as Ben Butler would say, while every in >rning they have a crowded audienca rtady to hear and consider the lruits of that investigation. Patterson’s receipts for dividends. Ang now the climax of to-day’: proceed ings was reached when Judge P- land *aid: “I understand, Mr. Ames t^at you have some additional papers effecting Senator Patterson to submit.” “I have,” replied Ames; and forthwith he drew out his capacious pocketbook, from which bo produced a list of papers. He selected two and said: “I have here two receipts from Mr. Patterson. The first is for the 60 ner cent, dividend on his thirty bhares of Credit Mobilier stock." “Will you please read it ?” commanded the Chair man. Tben, amid breathless silence, while every man present leaned forward to catch every word, Mr. Ames slowly read as follows: Washington, June 22, 1861. Received of Oakts Ames eighteen hun dred dollars on account cf dividends re ceived by him on stock held lor my ac count. J. W. Patterson. $1,800. The Chairman asked, “Did you see him write his signature?” “I did,” replied Ames. “The receipt is ia my handwri ting. I wrote it and he signed it m my presence.” The effect produce*! by the reading cf this receipt whs startling. The members of the committee could not conceal their surprise, and more than one spectator uttered an exclamation of astonishment, and asked of each other, “What next?” They had not long to wait. Handing up the receipt to the Chairman, Amts read slowly the following : # Boston, May 6, 1871, Received of Oakes Ames two hundred shares of Union Pacific Railroad stock, and $757 24 in cash on account of Credit Mobiiier stock, and there is still due on the transaction thirty shares of stock in the Credit Mobiiier of America, an.l $2,000 in income bonds cf the Union Pacific Railroad. J. W. Patterson. . ANOTHER DISCOVERY. This receipt was also in Mr. Ames’ band- writiug, and he te>tified that it wa* signed in his presence. Having nailed poor P.it- terson to a cross which he must bear henceforward through all the remaining years of his life, Ames was disposed to withhold whatever documentary evidence he had in his possession. He so declared, but the committee for the first time seem to realize that they had a dnty t© nerform which must be done regardless or conse quences. Judge Poland deman de 1 any other paper or papers which he held bear ing on this case, and Arnes very reluc tantly said he bad a letter from b-aator Patterson that he had discovered among his papers last night. He had received several letters lrom Mr. Patterson, but had destroyed them at the time This one he had unwittingly preserved, and if the committee demunied it he would furnish* it The letter was handed up to the chair man, who examined it critically, and - the other members of the commitree gathered around him and read it carefully. The countenances of Judges Poland and M r- rick were a curious study during the time. {Surprise, pain, and disgust, in turns, could be read in their faces as the full import of the letter was developed. After reading and examining it careiully, the chairman inquired ol Mr. Am-s whether he had held any conversations with Senator Patterson in regard to this bill. He replied that he had frequent conversations with him on the subject spoken of in the letter, and that this let ter had also been spokeu of in une ot these conversations. “The letter,” taid he, “is about my conforming my testi mony to suit the story ho intended to tell, and he frequently wrote to me ol. that subject, and ho frequently talked with mo also on the sams topic.” Bung satisfied that there could bo no possible mistake about the genuineness of this let ter, Judge Poland read it slowly and dis tinctly: senator Patterson’s letter. Washington, January!, 1873. lion. Oakes Ames: My Dear Sib—The facts in respect to the Credit Mobilier, so far as’ I had any connection with it, uro as follows: You came to me oce day, knowing that a want of means was a chronic evil with mo, and said, “Patterson,” if you would like, I can let von have thirty shares of stock iu the Credit Mobilier, which I think, will be a profitable investment, and will be a good thing for yon.” My reply in substance was, that if you had any thing which I could properly invest in, and out of which I c uld make some money, I should be glad to take it, but that I had not the men y at that time, and must defer it till I could get it. Your reply was that you presumed I could have it later, when it might be con venient, and you regarded it a perfectly legitimate transaction. At that time you did not and ccuid not anticipate you should ever ask for further legislation from Congress in respect to the road, and you never did except when it was forced upon you by the secretary. After the conversation with me you may have had the impression that I should lake tho stock some time; but for dome reason or other, perhaps for a want of lands, I never Look any cf the stock. If I never had any htock in the company, I could not, as I did not, have its divi dends. If pressed to know if I purchased at any time any bonds or stock of the road, you can say 1 did at tho time they attempted to embarrass you when the value of the stock was depressed, and I paid you the full market value for it I paid you $7,000 in money for stock and bonds. The stock I put into the hands r.f Mr Morton immediately to sell as soon as it should go up reasonably in tho market, which he did. I saw Mr. Morton on my way through, and he said he had never held any stock in the Credit Mobilier for any odo, but did not wish to have his Lame brought into the examination if it CQnld be avoid ed. I am going to Ohio. I will see yon on my return. Don't fail to correct your original statement before the committee. It must not be reported as it now stands. Very truly, Jbo., J. W. Patterson. EVERTBODY ASTOUNDED. The effect of the reading of this letter was prodigious. Everybody was astound ed. Even the correspondents, who have had from time to time intimations of the kind of evidence Ames conld produce, were surprised and almost increduk us uutii they obtained the original and saw the word “pressed” aud the last two pa ragraphs underscored. The stupidity of a man who would write such a letter is unfathomable, but what shall be said of his effrontery in coming before the com mittee and swearing as he bos done ? Snrely there is no depth of infamy to which a public mar will not descend when once he has listened to the tempter ! The case made out against Colfax and Patterson is so clear, and the nature of their offences so terribly bad, that men who have the least respect for their own fame, as well as for their country’s honor, cannot for a single hour longer associate with then. It is a solemn and perhaps a sad doty for any Senator to call attention to this matter, which involves the honor of not only a brother Senator but of the Vice-President of the United States; but what will the woild say of the honor of the American Senate if there is no Sena tor possessed of sufficient courage to per form this sad and yet sacred duty ? From the Atlanta rocstitntion.] The Cotton Tax Matter. ’Io the Governor a \d Legislature of Georgia: Th* interest which I feel in the pros perity of my native State, is the only apology I havj to make for addressing this communication to the Executive and Legislative Departments of the Govern ment of Georgia. I trust that this will be a sufficient reason lor inviting your atten tion, in the first place, to the project for refunding the cotton tax. Tuis measure, at 1-sst the principle in volved, is on* eminently just. Export duties, in the face of the Constitutional prohibition have been levied. The South Las paid lhi.tn, and that, too, at a time wkeu hi r who.le system of labor was revo lutionized and overthrown, and every source ol her prosperity seriously embar rassed. Tht re can scarcely be a question as to tho party who pays an export duty; it is the producer of the article taxed. So the consumer pays the import duty. However we may refine upon the theories aud principles at issue, there can be no question a* to this conclusion. If I understand tue merits of the case, then, the cotton planters for tome years after lho surrender, paid a tax, to ail in tents and purposes, and export duty, upon the cotton which they produced. How ever this tax may have been paid, by whomsoever the actual money was paid to tue United States authorities, the farmer paid the tax. If cotton was worth 15 cents per pound, and the tax was 3 cents per per pound, the farmer received but 12 cents for his cotton. If it can be proved that the cotton was worth only 12 cents, and that the imposition of the tax with held nothing from the pocket of the farmer, then the collection of an nnjast t..x did no wrong to the producer. But this is not assamed by any party in this discussion. The trouble, it seems, arises, not as to the justice of a mersure to refund this tax, bnt as to the parties who ought, righteously, to receive it. In any view’ of the case presented thus far, there is little hope that the produces of cctton in the Southern States w 11 be to auy great extent benefitted by ti e professed act ol restitution. There in, however, one vi»-.v of the subject which I have not seen pre sented, either iu or out of the Congress. Tbo people paid this cotton tax; how can the people receive it back again ? I an swer, let the whole amount of the tax paid into the Treasury of the United States be divided pro rata, as the number of bales of cotton raised in each State may be ascertained, and let the amouLt due to the several States be set apart as a perpetual fund for public education, both r ices being the beneficiaries thereof. If, for example, the amount of cotton raised in 18C6 was 2,000,000 bales, and Georgia raised of that amount 400,000 bales, then Georgia will be entitled to $12,000,000— if. a*" has been elated, the gross sum due is $60,000,000. Let this sum, twelve mil lions, be set apart for the edacatioa of the wliite and black children of Georgia, in the ratio of the i< umbers of each race com ing w ithin the ages specified in the public ;Ohool law. By this measure the people will be re lieved from taxation to a large extent for many years to come, for the purposes of education, and inasmuch as the staple industry of Georgia was wranged by* the imposition ot the tax, and this sama in dustry must now be taxed,' and must sup port a public school system, if we have one at all, the farmers of Georgia will b£ hereafter relieved from a heavy burden, whilst ihe United States Treasury will have retrieved its error by a beneficent measure oi public relief. We will thus secure #n adequate system of common schools, free to all classes, white and black, being educated in the schools set apOTt for their respective uses. By placing this measure in this light, the Congress of the United Slates cannot fail to soe tho juntico and the policy of refunding the cotton tax. We*will de monstrate-, moreover,our sincerity in seek ing to establish a wise and ad< quate sys tem of common school education. It is alleged that the recently adopted system in our State is a failure. Those who b&vfc examined the subject will readily per ceive tue reasons why this is so. The delect is not so much in the details of the plan adopted, as in thu measure of State Aid. Georgia has a t mailer population than M assachusetts, bnt she has seven times the territory. Hence, a sparsely settled population cannot be served by a system adopted to a small, densely popu lated territory. If we attempt to estab lish a common school within three miles of every man’s door, we must have not lead than 1600 schools. At $300 per an num for the services of a teacher, say five months :n tb^ year, we have an an nual tax of $480,000. These 1600 schools with 50 pupiis, would accommodate 80,- 000 children. In the Stuto of Massachusetts it would r.quire but two hundred and twenty-two schools to place a teacher within threu miles of every man’s house. We have iu Georgia, then, to bu Id nearly fourteen bu tired school houses which are not re quired iu Massachusetts. If we estimate, for tho Fuke of argument, the cost of building at five hundred dollars each, the cost of the school houses in Georgia would build two Lur.dred academies worth four thousand dodars each in Massachusetts. Theso buildings in Massachusetts would accommodate the school population of the State. But not so in Georgia. Some of our schools wonld not have twenty pupils; others would have hundred. Hence tho necessity for costlier baildings, furnishing more accommodation in the thickly settled sections. Here, then, is the problem. To fur nish schools accessible to ail and ade quate to the wants of the people. Not less than a million of dollars will do this for tho white race in Georgia—the colored race will require three quarters of a mil lion more. The pay of the ti achers of both races would require $750,000 per annum, at the lowest estimate; where is the money to come from ? How can we build hcbool houses and furnish teachers lor the children of tho people? Impov erished as wo are, we cannot tax the in dustry of the Sta»e one per cent, to ac complish this object, and less than this amount of taxation will not do it. The United States tried an unjust tax upon the industry of the country. Let them refund the money, and let tho several States apply it to this great and benificent purpose. With this money we can build a school house in every neighborhood, and ^furnish a teacher for both classes cf our’population, and thus educate the rising generation. Having something more to say upon this subject, in connection with emigra tion and the development of the resources of Georgia, I forbear for the present. Atlanta, January 28, 1873. General Forrest in Detroit, and What His Object Is—Aid for a Railroad from Brunswick, Georgia, to Kan sas City. [From the Detroit (Michigan) Union.] A Union reporter was scrutinizing the Biddle House register yesterday iu the hope that the dearth of items might be relieved by a “personal,” at least, when his eyes encountered the name of N. B. Forrest, Memphis. He asked the clerk if th.-.t was not General Forrest, ol the rebel army, and, upou that functionary replying in the affirmative, sent m his card to the hero of Foil Piiiow. Although General Forrest was once a bitter rebel, he is now an ardent Union man, and requested its repre : enutive to come in immediately. The General was standing with his back to the stove, with his hands under hi* coat-tails. He is of immense height, solidly built, and has a healthy, glowing color. His hair is as white as seventy, but his lace and figure look no m*‘re than forty. Major J. P. Fresenius, who earned his title in thu same service as the General, and is a little man witn a red b<.ard aud thin face, was sitting at a table, looking over a heap of papers. After the re porter had introduced himself to Gen. eral Forrest, and Gen. Forrest had intro duced him to the Major, he said to the former : “General, is there anything that would interest the public in connection with yoar visit to Detroit, and which you would not object to give them ?” “Well,” he replied, “that depends alto gether upon the taste of your public. However, I’ll tell yon what brought me here, and then you can judge for your self. I am President of tha Selma, Marion and Memphis Railroad, running from Memphis, Tennessee, to Selma. Alabama, which is a distance of about two hundred aud eighty miles, and I have come to De troit to see if I cannot interest yoar capi talists in that road particularly, and in another railroad project of much larger dimensions.” Reporter—What i9 that, pray ? General Forrest—The road of which I am President is a section of an air line, now reaching from Brunswick, Georgia, on the Atlantic coast, through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkan sas, Missouri, and to Kansas City, in Kansas. Reporter Is not Kansas City in Mis soari, General ? Goneral Forrest—That’s a fact. It is, nevertheless, the western terminus, and our plan is to extend this string of rail roads to the iine of the Northern Pacific, which will make the shortest route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The conversation terminated by the General mentioning his intention to pro ceed to New York, there, no doabt, to pash his negotiations. A First-Class Swindler. —A first-class swindler has just be*n arrested in Louis ville, Ky., whose ^kreer in that quarter daring the past six months is a queer commentary both upon his worming in genuity and audacity, and also upon the amazing credulity of those who were the victims of his sharp practices. Henry Huffman, alias Christian Von Dehl, oame to Louisville last fall, and took lodgings in one of the leading hotels of the city. His personal appearance &Dd manners were such as to attract considerable at tention, and by means of these he became one of the lights of high social circles in the city. He made statements concern ing his great wealth and high connections in Germany, and said that he was dai.j expecting to receive $90,000 in gold from Europe. A bird of such rare plumage was naturally much sought after by families containing eligible daughter:!, aL,d Von Dehl was welcomed to every household which ho condescended to eater. Ho became the guest of a highly- respectable farmer residing a few miles ont of Louisville. After enjoying the confidence and esteem of the family for two months, he departed for Louisville to look after his forthcoming legacy, promis ing to return and hoy the farm in a few days. Instead of keeping his word, how ever, he went into another section of the State and became an esteemed member of another thrift^ farmer’s family. He made love to one of the daughters, and on his revealing to her the secret that he was a German baron and possessed of a fabulous amonnt of property, he was made tho recipient of num'erous costly presents, which he acknowledged by clearing out for parts unknown one fine morning. He practiced his confidence game on about thirty families in the State, and finally created a stir among tho authorities that led to his being arrested, and he is now a leading candidate for the State work house. Remarkable Detection of a Murderer A murderer was detected in a very re markable manner in Missouri recently. At Coldwater, in that State, a man named Caldwell murdered his employer, John son, robbed him of one thousand dollars, and escaped, leaving no trace behind. A few days ago a Dr. Ritchie, living at Phy- atal-t, several miles from Coldwater, bad been drinking freely, and was, in a jocu lar manner, accusing every one of having committed the murder. Finally, he met a stranger, and being just tipsy enoagh not to care what he said, addressed the stranger in the same mannwr: “Yes—you —you ure the man who murdered John son at Coldwater.” A look of guilt over spread the man’s face, and simnltaneously he ran his hand in his bosom, as if to draw a weapon. Dr. Ritchie collared him with his left hand, and with his right drew a difk from his pocket and told him if he attempted to draw a weapon he wonld plunge that knife to his heart in a second. He then commanded the man to withdraw his band, which was speedily obeyed, when, instead of a weapon, he drew oat the sum of $1,100, which he dropped on the ground at his feet Mean while a crowd bad gathered arcand the doctor snd his prisoner, and the evidence of the muu’s guilt was bv this time so pal pable that he was placed under arrest. The man thus arrested bos since proved ^ be Caldwell, and be has confessed both tne murder and the robbery. A London detective put his head into an omnibus one day just as it was start ing off, with the remark, “Passengers will do well to look oat for their pocketbocks. There are two members of the swell mob in this’bus.” Thereupon a grave-looking old gentleman with eyo-glasses and a gold headed cane hastily got out, saying, “If that’s the case I won’t go in this ’bus.” He was followed by a clerical-looking gen tleman with a while choker, who remark ed that he “wouldn’t ride in such com pany.” Aud then the detective closed the door and shouted to the driver, “Ail right; drive on, they’ve got out” We don’t mean to be unkind; but really the story is an old on«, aDd we have no exense for publishing it, except that Sen ator Patterson’s pathetic speech the other day about leaving public life with pleasure if thirgs were going on in this way, and then brother Harlan’s following him oat with remarks in a similar tone, recalled the circumstance.—N. Y. Sun. Indictments have been found by the grand jury of the United States District Court, at Albany, against Susan B. Anthony and fifteen other ladies, charg ing them with veting illegally in Roches ter. They are to appear before the court in that city in May next. Indictments were also found against the three inspec tors who received their votes. Alas! when lovely woman stoops to folly she is certain to find that men be tray, and so forth, of which poetical Irue- ism the charming Miss Anthony is just realizing the meaning. A Shrewd Business Manaoeb.—It is well known that Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, is one of the largest manu facturers ol cotton goods in the United States, and that be holds other important interests in various sections of the coun try. In the coarse of his manufacturing operations be has found it advantageous not only to export provisions from Texas for the use of bis thousand* of opera tives, tbat they may be enabled to save more of their earniags by thus obtaining supplies at & small advance on first cost, bat the distinguished manufacturer has also taken an interest in the construction cf a railroad in Texas, and the erection of cotton factories at convenient points along the line of '.he road, in order tbat he may purchase bis cotton direct from the planters, and thus save many thou sands of dollars annnally in freight, com missions, storage, Ac., and be able to keep his mills running the year round. TheD again, instead ot paying tribute to others to transport bis raw material and meat supplies, he will convey them over Lis own road. It i3 also quite probable tbat he Las an eye to tbe Texas wool crop, which is annually increasing, and will soon excel (bat of any other State in quantity, as it now does, in some respects, all others in quality.—Boston Globe. A clown recently astonished an au dience assembled in a North Carolina oir- ens-tent with a forcible sermon upon their duty in contributing to the support oi the Gospel. Tne sermon was apparently well received, for the following day he preached in public, ana apart from the circus, upon the subject of Christian missions, and succeeded in collecting a considerable sum for tbe benefit of the heathfcn.

Onr readers will peruse With the doepest inter est the accompanying card of Mr. It. W. White, of thi* city, relating to his wonderful relief from Diabetes, tbat terrible malady which usually de< flea all human skill. So thoroughly impregnated with saocharine matter were the urinary deposits of the sick man, that when subjected to evaporation, candy had actualir been the residuum. Most of his living had been spent unaTailingly for medical advice and treatment, and death seemed inevitable. Butin the hands of his eminent practitioner, his restoration has beeu rapid and complete, and now he appears on i he stand to tell the story of hia unexpected resurrection almost from the very jaws of the grave. Dr. Jones is daily performing other wonderful cures, and his fame is drawing to him patients even from the neighboring States. Yesterday he performed delicate and successful operations upon two ladies for cross eyes and cataract, one of whom had ceme from South Carolina to con sult him. In diseases of tbe ear, too, he is equally skillful, and inserts artificial drams or tympanum*, when tbat organ has been destroyed by concussions or otherwise. Theee are very cu riously and delicately framed of India rubber. The public will be glad t j learn thst his distin guished physician has consented to remain a few days longer at his quarters at the Brown House. The sick tnd suffering would do well to lay their cases before him without delay. While there la life there is hope. Remarkable and Great Curb or Diabetes— (Sugar r* the Urine)—Bt Dr. J. A. Jones.—For nearly three years I was sick unto death with that dreadful disease diabetes—sugar in the urim daring which time my sufferings language could not descirbe. My disease was contracted in rep- tember, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in the employ of Col. Edmund Harrison, in Mont gomery, Ala., who knows of my case welL I waa treated by a.l the best physicians of the principal Southern ciLes, and nearly all of tnem gave up my case as incurable, alter treatiug me for weeks or months. I also tried the mountain air of Bir mingham, Ala., and tried bitter* and all kinds of patent medicines. Nothing reached my diseat■». or touched the root of it, or changed my uriiu . which was white and soon after beiug voided in the son crystalized into sugar. I had to get up every half boar daring the night to drink and void water. Everything I ate and drank turned lnte sugary uriue; and thns, by ounces, I was wasted and reduced from a strong, healthy, stoat man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton cf 69 pounds Forty-eight hours after I commenced Dr. Jones' treatment my urine changed to a natural color with the natural odor, and In a few days my pales and ills all left me, aud I feel as well as I ever did in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural aud regular bowels, and am gaining my former activity andetrength daily, but my teeth are loose and discolored from the bad effects of the mar- ca^, iron, arsenic, etc., given me before I saw Dr. Jones. I have not taken over an ounce of medicine from Dr. Joses, and it was pleasant to take, and he never changed his remedy, and gave me but one small bottle of that, but it west 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 hours’ use of Dr. Jonee’ medicine. I feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great physician, for my shroud was prepared and at my bedsida, and my disease was pronounced incura ble by so many phyaicians, some of them stating that no person had ever been cured of diabetes.
