Quitman Reporter: E. C. Wade gays in his
letter to the Washington Republican that
land is only worth one dollar per acre iu
Brooks county. • We will venture the asser
tion that he cannot huv average pine land
within ten miles irom Quitman for less than
from five to twelve dollars, and hammock
land from ten to twenty dollars per acre.
We will agree to find purchasers for all the
averaga pine land that ho ftm furnish at
twice or treble the amount for which he
savs it can be bought. Land is worth more
in Brooks county to-day than at any other
time since the war. We heard a geu-
tleman say that ho would give Wade twenty
dollars per acre for a part of his unim
proved pine land. If Brooks county land is
as low iu his (Wade’s) estimation as he puts
it down iu his letter, we think it would be a
very good investment for him to sell out at,
gay five or ten dollars per acre, to some one
who has more confidence in Brooks county
lands. To show that Wade does not believe
Ins statement in regard to the value of
Brooks county laud, we will here mention
that a gentleman went to him about two
weeks ago to buy a piece of unimproved pine
land, lying about one mile west of Quitman,
for which he asked him the very moderate
price of sixteen dollars per acre. “Consist
ency thou art indeed a rare jewel.”
Atlanta Commonwealth : During the pro
gress of the session <5f the General Assem
bly which is now drawing to a close, we have
marked with pleasure the course of Hon.
Virgil H. Burns, the young aud able repre
sentative qf the good people of Screven
county. No member of the House has been
more quiet aud unpretending, yet none has
stood more faithfully and firmly by the in
terest of his constituents. Always iu his
seat, his position on measures before that
body has Been boldly announced by his vote
rather than by lengthy vocalization, and his
motto has been “work” rather than “ talk.”
Enjoying great personal popularity, univer
sally beliked by his fellow members, aud ex
ercising a sound judgment and ample consid
eration in assuming a position, Col. Burns
rarely fails to carry to success any measure he
espouses. In him old Screven is worthily and
admirablv represented, and his county may
justly be proud of his consistent and shin
ing record, and of his faithful and earnest
work in her behalf, and in tho true interest
of the whole State. It will he difficult to
supply bis place m the event that he de
clines’ re-election; and we feel sure his fel
low-citizens cannot act more wisely and dis
creetly than to return Colonel Burns with
out opposition. Georgia needs the honest
aud zealous services of such sons as he in
her councils, and cannot spare such model
legislators from the General Assembly. We
want sensible legislation, economy iu the
State government, a careful use of the
people’s money, aud unblemished integiity
in all departments, and the course of Colonel
Burns has been directed to subserve these
ends.
The Stoby of a Russian Princess. A
young Russian .has for some years been
prosecuting his chemical studies at the
University of Leipsic with unusual zeal.
The young man, oi an aristocratic exte
rior. made friends of all who came in
contact with him. Recently he passed a
most brilliant examination, which was
rewarded with the dignity of Master of
Arts. Soon thereafter a young lady
called on one of the most prominent pro
fessors of the University, addressing the
celebrated savant in the following words:
“I desire, professor, before I depart from
Leipsic, to express to you my most hearty
thanks.” The professor, perfectly aston
ished, observed. “Thanks, but for
what ?” “Listen, sir. I was married to
the old Prince. * * * My husband
died some years ago. Hg died insolvent,
so that I was left even without the daily
bread. I resolved to seek the necessary
means of subsistence in science. The
professor then interrupted her, saying :
“Yes, most gracious lady, nevertheless, I
cannot see why you should address an}
thanks to me.” The lady continued :
“Observe, then, it is now more than three
years that here iu Leipsic I have been a
student. Tne student who lately passed
the examination, and whom you consid
ered worthy of distinction, is none other
than myself.”
The centralization scheme of the Ger
man Empire embraces the universities as

[Special Correspondence cf the Morning News.;
Atlanta, Feb. 23, 1876.
This is the last day of the session of
1876, and lively scenes are being enacted
in the Senate and House, yet I fear many
bills will be left in an unfinished state at
the hour of final adjournment.
Speaker Thomas H. Hardeman, Jr., of
Macon, has presided during the present
session with a promptness, ability and
impartiality that have won for him new
and valuable honors as a patriotic and
faithful public official.
It is a fact worthy of notice that Sa
vannah furnishes the chairmen for the
House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
Macon provides the Speaker of the House
and President of the Senate, and Colum
bus is represented in the Calendar Clerks
of the House and Senate. As this com
bination was the result of mere accident,
it certainly deserves notice.

A FEW FINAL NOTES.
I think I have given your readers a
full list of the Representatives and
Senators from that portion of the
State in which the Morning News has a
general and extended circulation, with
the titles of the bills iqtroduced by them,
and the committees on which they have
served.
During the absence of Gen. Lawton at
Washington, Judge Speer, of Griffin, has
made an efficient Chairman pro tem. of
the Judiciary Committee. This Commit
tee aud the Finance Committee, of which
Col. Warren of your oity, is the able and
hard-working chairman, have had au im
mense amount of business to transaot,
but they have attended to it in a most
faithful and conscientous manner.
EX-SPEAKER.A. O. BACON.
It is universally acknowledged that ex-
Speaker A. O. Bacon, of Macon, is the
readiest debater in the House. He speaks
with great fluency, and argues with ad
mirable clearness and conciseness. His
influence in the House is manifest at a
glance, as he seldom speaks^n any moas-
use without impressing the members with
the correctness of his views. It is not
strange, therefore, that the friends of
this distinguished gentleman propose to
bring him forward a* a candidate for
Congress from his district during the ap
proaching campaign. His commanding
form, graceful manners and polished ora
tory are a sure guarantee that he will oc -
cup^ no unimportant place on the floor of
the National House of Representatives.
Major Bacon has served the State of
Georgia for six consecutive years in the
Legislature, as a member or presiding of
ficer, and, although still a young man,
he is justly ranked among the very ablest
and most promising of the rising states
men of Georgia.
last report. The object of the bill is to
allow Dr. Edward J. Delegal, of Dorches
ter. Liberty county, to practice medicine
without a diploma, as he is now too old
to attend a medical college. For this
reason the bill passed the House and
Senate with opposition.
The Hon. Frank Leverett, of Putnam,
did not “rastle” with the “Hon. Duggar,
of Fannin,” but he had a sharp, Hhort
and decisive struggle with Col. McKinley,
of Baldwin, the Chesterfield of the
House, on a local bill relating to Putnam
county. Leverett had both “under
holts,” and laid out his antagonist in fine
style, amidst the hearty applause of the
House.
The printer made me say in my last
letter that Senator Perry had prepared
amendments to the Board of Health bill.
It should have been Senator Peavy. The
first named gentleman supported the bill
as it came from the House, and this cor
rection is justly due him as a faithful
and conscientious legislator.
Chaplain J. P. Duncan, the “blind
preacher,” delivered a most touching and
impressive prayer in the Senate at its
final session to-day. I may here add, as
a merited tribute t© his Christian char
acter and intellectual culture, that he has
discharged the duties of hiB position in a
highly satisfactory and creditable man
ner.
The House and Senate were both very
much thinned out this morning, and
there was scarcely a quorum in either
branch. It was found impossible to get
the final bills ready for the Speaker’s
signature last night, and therefore the
time was extended to 12 o'clock m. to
day, but an adjournment was reached at
11:20. As soon a3 the rush is over, and
I can get at the bills passed, I will look
up all acts of a local character in which
Chatham county or Savannah is inter
ested, and send you copies for publica
tion.
ELOQUENT WORDS FBOM EX-SPEAKER BACON.
Just before the hour of adjournment
ex-Speaker A. O. Bacon, of Macon, who
is Speaker pro tem. of the present House,
arose in his seat, and with deep emotion
delivered a most chaste, eloquent and
tender farewell address, stating that this
was in all probability his last official con
nection with the Legislature of the State.
So deeply impressive were his beautiful
sentiments that many of the members
were moved to tears, and when the speaker
sat down he was greeted with an expres
sion of esteem and appreciation on the
part of tho House that would have done
honor to any of Georgia s most distin
guished sons. If, as some persons inti
mate, ex-Speaker Bacon has Congression
al aspirations, he is fully justified in that
course by his eminent abilities and uni
versal popularit}*.
PATRIOTIC ADDRESS OF THE SPEAKER.
In adjourning the House, Speaker Har
deman indulged in some very beautiful
flights of poetic fancy, as he pictured the
feelings which filled his heart in that
parting hour. His farewell address closed
with good and practical advice to the
members as individuals, and he also ap
pealed in eloquent terms to them as true
Georgians to enter the coming political
campaign harmoniously united in all
things that can promote the glory and !
prosperity of this good old “ Empire *
State of the South.” His patriotic words
of advice were heartily applauded, as
they were fully appreciated by the House
and the vast number of spectators in the
galleries.
PROCEEDINGS OF MOCK SESSION.
The “mock session” performances in
the House, which occurred while that
body was waiting for bills from the
Senate on yesterday afternoon and last
night, were highly amusing. Some of
the motions were exceedingly witty, and
the speech of Colonel Warren, of
Chatham, delivered amidst the most
uproarious applause, was the gem of the
occasion. Judge Jones, of Burke, was
authorized to put the dog law into dog
gerel verse for general circulation. Dr.
Duggar, of Fannin, was “resolved”
into the handsomest member of the
House, and Colonel Walsh, of Richmond,
into the homeliest. Members who were
in the gallery with ladies were targets for
sharp satire and lively jokes, until the
last and bravest was finally obliged to
retire in a demoralized condition. Judge
W'arner, of Meriwether, was the funniest
man on the floor, and “Smith, of
Lowndes,” never smiled during the entire
season of mirth. The Governor was au
thorized to purchase three bureaus, one
for Baktr, of Bartow, another for Turn-
bull, of Banks, and the third for Allred,
of Pickens. The House, by au over
whelming demonstration, on motion of
Revill, of Meriwether, decided that War
ren, of Chatham, was the veritable
Potty Peagreen.” Col. W. declined the
honor in a magnificent speech, eloquent
beyond description, yet the House, in a
manner characteristic of the occasion,
refused to hear or entertain his proposi
tion. The proceedings were appro-
priately wound up by a call for the Com
mittee on the Lunatic Asylum to assemble
at once in front of the Speaker’s desk.
MESSRS. KIBBEE AND CASSIDY.
The Fourteenth District, composed of
Dooly, Pulaski, Wilcox and Dodge, has a
most able and laborious Senator in the
Hon. C. C. Kibbee, of Hawkinsville, the
“little giant” .of the Senate, on all im
portant financial matters. His services
to the State in this direction have been
invaluable, and can but result in great
good to our financial prosperity. Senator
Kibbee has not, however, confined
his labors entirely to this depart
ment, nor has he allowed local matters
to engross his attention. His bill for the
relief of the timber cutters of South
Georgia is a good measure, and was ably
advocated in the House by the Hon. H
E. Cassidy, of Effiugham. The member
from McIntosh having asked to have his
county exempted from the provisions of
the bill, Mr. Cassidy replied that he
would make no objection if this measure
was one of a purely local character, but
such was not the case. The bill proposes
relief for all classes in the section referred
to in its provisions, and even the farmers
of that portion of the State were interested
in the passage of the measure. They
were, generally, a poor but honest class
of people, and should not be injured by
oppressive and unjust municipal regula
tions. These city ordinances raised the
commissions on the sale of timber to
nearly double the old rates, and this bill
proposes to restrain aud limit the munici
pal powers to a fair and equitable stand
ard. It is a bad policy to oppress our
laboring classes by unjust legislation.
Give them an open market and a fair
remuneration for their products. The
passage of this bill will greatly encourage
the honest and industrious among
our people, and advance the wealth
and prosperity of our noble State. On
the other hand, if you oppress their
labor by heavy taxation or unfair regula
tions in regard to products entering our
markets, and the voice of history pro
claims that it will lead to the decline and
ruin of any nation. “I hope, Mr.
Speaker,” said the gentleman in conclu
sion, “that the bill will pass, and that
the amendments of the gentleman will
not prevail.” The bill, which is entitled
an act to repeal all local laws and ordi
nances in conflict with section 1,563 of
the code in relation to the inspection of
lumber, was passed by the House, Feb
ruary 21st, without the amendments pro
posed by Barnwell, of McIntosh.

Never, I confess, was I overtaken by a
realizing sense of the awful destruction
of life in the late war until I gazed upon
the multitude of widows wending their
way down the avenue. Nor ever did
dawn upon me what frightful mortality
there must have been among newly-mar
ried heroes until I observed, of the innu
merable widows, what a vast number are
yet so young—so young that, but that
they are war-widows, I'd be sworn they
could have scarce grown put of their
pinafores at the time of the surrender at
Appomattox. But, of course, the nation

it is not cold.
Maugre the mortifying fact that the
labor of vindicating the precious memory
of a defunct philosopher from the accu
mulated imputations of millions of
thoughtless traducers has been reserved
for a native of the nineteenth cen
tury, it is yet not too late to do
tardy justice to the dead. The
countless progeny of a maligned ancestor
will oblige us by suppressing their plau
dits, as we desire to allay all envious
feeling, and have a sufficient guerdon in
the ennobling self consciousness of hav
ing, as public journalists, performed an
imperative duty. Diogenes has for ages
been mixing with mother earth the most
cruelly misrepresented individual that
ever went unhung or eluded the
patient search of a defrauded manu
facturer of mysteriously compounded
edibles. It has been asserted with tradi
tional emphasis that the illustrious sage
was a wild specimen of senility by im
plication. The most humiliating light
that a man can be plp.ced in is to be por
trayed as a fool, and the accepted opin
ion that Diogenes took his lantern to
hunt for an honest man, is inconceiv
ably preposterous and calumnious. The
sage could not in any contingency have
been such an invincible idiot as to sup
pose that in exploring for the “noblest
work of God,” he would find illumination
necessary or even convenient. He cer
tainly was aware that his progress would
be impeded and his lamp obscured by an
innumerable rabble of uncourtly
wretches, all vociferously claiming
the distinction. The true key to the
action of Diogenes is found in the
almost absolute certainty that he
was endeavoring to discover a dishonest
man ; and as history repeats itself, the
universe is startled by the sudden ap
pearance of an imitator in this line in the
person of C. A. Cowgiil, Comptroller of
Florida. Cowgiil also is equipped with a
lantern and likewise with a powerful mi
croscope. But the dark lantern sheds its
effulgence in but one direction to
wards the lamb-like Simon B. Con
over, while his associates are allowed to
conceal themselves in the back ground.
The blue scrip atrocity which the Comp
troller ventilates in his published report
of February the 14th, wherein Conover
and his guilty accomplices pocketed
above $37,000 of the people’s money, is a
thrice told tale of villainy unpunished,
and has been known for some time. In
stealing the scrip after it had been for
mally retired from circulation, Cono
ver and his accessories eked out
their miserable lives, when an
honest man would have escaped
from temptation by cutting his own
throat. The impious mortal of old who
invoked Jove's thunderbolts upon the
heads of his antagonists had probably
been worried into desperation from being
pestered by a league of scoundrels and
robbers similar to Conover, Stearns,
McLin, Randall, Reed, and others of that
ilk, and in that event the supplication
was not unjustifiable. But it is the sum
mit of effrontery to assume an air of peni
tence for the theft and profess sorrow. Was
not this peculation connived at by Stearns
and his minions, and did they not share
in the plunder? .This is strictly a Radical
burial, this enterprise of Cowgill’s, and
while prosecuting Conover let not his
companions be forgotten or overlooked.
If the Radical demons are really sorry let
them form themselves into a chain-gang
and work upon the public roads without
putting the State to the expense of a
tedious trial. Let condign punishment
be dealt to Conover, but let not the mem
bers of his ring escape.
THE FLORIDA STATE FAIR.
Reserving a more extended notice of
the salient features of the fair for another
letter to-morrow,it may be stated that the
exposition is a greater success than was
expected a few days says since. It
was formally opened yesterday, and the
delay in getting it fairly under way
has been unavoidable on account of the
tardiness of some of the exhibitors
in entering, a number of entries having
been made at the eleventh hour. An im
mense crowd of visitors, including many
strangers, is pouriug continually to the
Fair Grounds and taxing the means of
conveyance to their utmost capacity.
Too much credit cannot be awarded to
Colonel C. B. Rogers and Captain J. B.
Oliver for pushing the affair against so
many barnacles that had fastened them
selves thereon. To these two gentlemen
the entire praise of working up the
fair is due, and should be accorded,

THE MYSTERY OF TBOUT CREEK.
Here is a rational theory concerning the
tragedy at Brouard’s Neck. It trans
pired during the testimony before the
inquest that Nelson Peterson and
William N. Larson left Brouarcl's at
noon on the 29th of January. On that
night thfee pistol shots were heard
distinctly, and it is reasonable to suppose
that the}' sounded the funeral knell of
Petersen. If Petersen had murdered his
companion it is highly improbable that
he would have tied the boat to a tree
on shore and footed it across the country.
The idea that the two Danes were acci
dentally drowned while in a state
of intoxication is untenable,
neither of them was addicted to
drinking, and, in point of fact, they are
said to have been strictly temperate. It
is clear to my mind that Petersen was
ehot dnd Larsen murdered by drowning.
This forbidding stream. Trout Creek, has
been the theatre of several mysterious
crimes, and not one of them has ever
been ferreted out. There exists near
Panama Mills a crowd of indolent, thrift
less negro lazzaroni, who have never been
known to do anything but fish, and whose
manner of living has frequently excited
suspicion. The two Danish ferrymen
were known to be working men and it is
not impossible that they aroused the un
governable cupidity of some assassins,
who killed them for what they supposed
was in iheir possession—money.

case so as to seat none but staunch Re
publicans. He was in his position as
Judge to subserve the interests of his
friends, and he would evidence tc them

Democrats could never obtain control

INTO EACH LIFE.
On Monday evening, transpired in the
course of superhuman events, a Martha
Washington Tea Party, which was well
attended, Mrs. J. Stockton^ivingston, as
Mrs. Bingham, was sparkling, brilliant
and vivacious, and sustained the role
assumed by her with inimitable grace
and beautiful witchery. Mr. Evans
was by all odds the most natural and
graceful male character in the room.
A number of others in costume whose
names unfortunately escape my memory
were good, but do you remember whether,
when we had an altercation with
a revoiutionaiy soldier about keeping
cigars in his pockets with the ends bitten
off, there were any of his comrades who
were spindle-shanked or bow-legged, or
any ambassadors resembling buffoons, or
any warriors who looked like Pi-ute
braves, who had not been washed for
years. The colored band that came from
Key West to attend the State Fair, at the
instance of some genius, serenaded the
tea-pot tea. They played one
tune and were preparing their
notes for another when one of
the floor managers bluffly invited them to
depart in this wise, “We don’t want any
more of that music.” The crestfallen
darkies went out with lowered heads.
This brass band is entitled to all of the
hospitalities generally accorded to visi
tors, and the serious discourtesy which
they met with is deserving of the severest
condemnation, but it cannot be criticised
as it should be, because the offender be
longs to the female sex. 1 simply
make this reference to it for the purpose
of placing the matter in its proper light,
and to say that every lady aud gentleman
on the floor unequivocally disapproved of
the rudeness towards the colored «. and,
and that the representative citizens of
Jacksonville are in no wise responsible
for the insult. The insulter is a Radical,
and Count D’Orsay wrote in vaiD.
STEALING—o’er THE PLAIN.
A negro prowler at the Fair Grounds
yesterday evening took a notion to walk
off with an invalid’s overcoat, and as
action is always a consequence of reflec
tion with the African, he forthwith seized
the opportunity and the overcoat. He
was detected in the act, an officer was
sent for, and the darkey taken into
custody. Watching his captor, he broke
away suddenly and commenced to
run. The officer created some excite
ment by pulling a revolver, and
starting in hot pursuit, iiriqf
at the fugitive as he followed. When
within about ten paces of Cuffee, having
fired four shots at him, and as he was
preparing to discharge the fifth, much to
the officer’s astonishment, the nigger
came to a halt as if to surrender. How
ever, as soon as the officer overtook him
he commenced a vigorous and determined
resistance, and was finally subdued after
the pistol had been broken to fragments
over his cranium. He is now in jail.
COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT.
I am requested to announce that a com
plimentary concert has been tendered to

tribute to that accomplished lady.

cabal consisted of five white-skinned
canaille and ten black niggers, exclu
sive of R. B. Archibald, Judge, by the
silliness of Stearns, of the Fourth Judi
cial Circuit. After a close conference,
which the pigeon seems reluctant to
disclose the import of, Archibald
spread himself on an incendiary
harangue, denouncing everything aud
everybody,and challenging Pandemonium
to daunt his iron heart. He then assured
his hearers that as the question of the
The Mystery of the Treasury Vaults.
The last official statement cf the pub
lic debt gives the amount of “coin in the
Treasury*” as ■873,601,361. This conveys,
and is we suppose intended to convey, to
the ordinary reader the idea that this
much gold and silver is actually on hand.
Why such a surplus should be retained in
any shape, instead of being devoted to
ward relieving the public burdens, will
puzzle the groaning tax-payer, but if he
imagines that it is in the shape of bona
Jide jullion, he counts without his host.
The great bulk of this so-called “coin” is
really paper, or what are termed “gold
certificates.” The exact amount of the
precious metals in the Federal Treasury
at any time has never been known in the
past thirteen years, nor can it be ascer
tained from the published statements.
On March 3, 1863, an act was passed
by which the Secretary was “authorized
to receive deposits of coin and bullion
with the Treasurer, or any Assistant
Treasurer of the United States, in sums
of not less than twenty dollars, and to
issue certificates therefor in denomina
tions of not less than twenty dollars each,
corresponding to the denominations of
United States notes.” The object of this
law at the time was to release &nd utilize
as currency the coin that would otherwise
lie idle in the vaults. -As the gold pre
mium rose this object failed, but
the certificates were found useful as
being more readily handled and trans
ferred than the actual coin. The law
provided for their use, as gold, in pay
ments of customs and of interest, as well
as in the open sales of gold by the Treas
ury; and., in fact, nearly all the gold
transactions made for many years past,
are transact.ons really in this class of pa
per. The banks report them as gold,
and while the bank statements show many
millions of “gold” in their vaults, they
may really have not a dollar—nothing
but certificates. A further feature of
the law of 1863 is, that the amount of
these certificates may exceed by twenty
per cent, the amount of gold on which
they are supposed to be based.
Under these circumstances, the resolu
tion pressed through the Democratic
House last week, calling on the Secretary
of the Treasury for a statement of the
actual amount or specie in his hands on
the 15th inst. is not inopportune. The
contents of Uncle Sam’s strong box is
quite an item in national finances, and if
he has only ten or twelve millions, while
pretending to possess seventy-three mil
lions, a knowledge of the fact may help
the intelligent voter, as well as the adroit
politician, in^stimating the possibility of
early resumption. The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald says
the resolution i3 regarded in the Trea
sury Department as an “annoyance,”
and a prominent gentleman is cited as
expressing the belief that when all allow
ances are made for the sinking fund and
for overdue interest not paid, the coin
really belonging to the Treasury will
dwindle as low as two millions. The
Treasury officials represent that the de
nouement will help nobody except the
Wall street gold gamblers, and facile let
ter writers speak of a “lobby patiently
awaiting the departments’ answer.” They
even go so far as to hint that the resolu
tion was “inspired by a ring of four or
five of the largest operators in New York
city, prominent amoDg whom is sup
posed to be Jay Gould.”
It is surprising that intelligent journals
should give place to such stuff. Jay
Gould and his kindred are not in the
habit of waiting on Congress to obtain
information in an ojien and legitimate
manner. There are too many Corbins
and Caseys, Joyces and McDonalds, and
A very.s and Babcocks in the administra
tion’s service from whom information can
be bought in advance. The moment facts
are given to the public through Congress
in the regular way, they cease to be valu
able or available to the gold sharks. It
is keeping the “points” in the dark that
works to their profit. If Uncle Sam is
“short” on gold, let his numerous broth-
ers-in-law and nephews know it. No
one wifi be hurt, except the hard money
champions of speedy resumption.—Nash
