[A Ibany Xeics. Affairs iu fieoriria. Isu't the Gubernatorial discussion getting a little too warm for general comfort? We merely a^k for information. Because Sam Small ia a successful joker, the other editors of the Constitution are en deavoring to rival him. On no other hy pothesis can we account for their late amusing attempt to make the Morning News responsible for what a Washington writer says about Mr. Hill. It is of but little consequence to the average Atlan a joker, however, whetbor you laugh at him or with him. Col. M. Eugene Thornton, of Atlanta, did not, it seems, meet the Western visitors with an unquailiug front. “Let’s go up the canal,” is the t*ay the Augusta people invite their friends to a free lunch. The Macon Telegraph is out for Colonel Thomas Hardeman for Governor. The citizens of Wilkinson county are de servedly proud of their high standing with the business men of Savannah and Macon. Columbus is triumphantly pawing up the dust over a calf with five legs. Mr. It. A. Harrison, formerly connected with the Sparta Times and Planter, but now of New York, was recently married in Charleston to Miss A. Julia Lagare. Mrs. Matilda Guest, an aged lady, was burned to death recently in Frauklin county. About this time of year, the sap begins to rise. Here is the effect it has ou Col. Wal lace 1’.

It is pretty reliably stated that Ned Mum- ford, of th< Talbottom Standard, is packing up bis trunk preparatory to taking a lectur ing tour. The Count Johannes B. will probably be the advance agent. The Carnesvillo Register doesn’t come to hand with that frequency that should char acterize a weekly paper. The JciiVi son county hens seem to feel tlieir oats. V.’e chronicled last week an ffort ou the part of one of these fowls, and now the same hen, belonging to Mrs. J. L. Brown, has produced an egg weighing three ounces aud a quarter. This shows the ndvautago of persistent aud judi cious advertising. A daughter of Mr. Isaac Taylor, of Wil kinson county, aged thirteen, was severely burned the other day. Her clothes caught fire at a brush pile. Iu six months, the people of Terrell coun ty have paid over one hundred and twenty- seven thousand dollars for corn, bacon and guano, liy all means let the farmers plant more cotton. Otherwise they won’t have any money to buy victuals with next season. The Talbotton standard finds time to talk out in meeting about as follows : “The At lanta Constitution has undertaken an hercu lean performance: that of convicting the Savannah News of Atlanta newspaper ‘ethics.’ To parties who are familiar with the facts in the case there is something largely ludicrous about this attempted con viction of the News by the Constitution. Better hands off, Mr. Cons. You are getting beat at your own precious little game. The News is out of it with flying colors as yet, but you cannot brag on a clean score. Fire thousand. dollars. Pretty sounding figures. Aren’t they, eh ?” The farmers of Wilkinson county have paid ten thousand dollars for guano this season. More cotton! Rev. c. D.

Simon Clark, a worthy colored barber, died in Columbus the other day. His death was regretted by whites as well as blacks. Mr. E. M. Murphy, of Barnesvillc, is dead. The storehouse of Mr. J. B. Wiuslow, of Rome, was burned by an incendiary on Tuesday morning. Here comes Chattooga county again. On Monday night three drunken white men in vaded a negro’s house and shot him three times, though not seriously. Two of the men are in jail, and a posse is in hot pur suit of the other. An attempt was made by an incendiary the other day to burn the dwelling-house ot Mr. Wilkerson, the former Marshal of Carters- ville. Mrs. G. F. Hudson, of Jefferson county, was compelled to have one of her feet am putated the other day in consequence of cancer. It is a pity those afflicted with this dangerous disease cannot find means to sub mit themselves to the treatment of Dr. John D. Andrews, of Thomasviile.

Noon Telegrams; the fountain-head of Oglesby, of the Augusta Chronicle, quotes this paragraph from the Atlanta Common wealth: “Lieutenant Langley, of fee police force, has been dismissed tho service ou charges unfit for publication.” And then pleasantly remarks: “It must be an awful aff'air,*j indeed, not to be published iu an .Atlanta paper.” Louisville was treated the other day to a sight of the rare phenomenon called a sun- dortch. or sun-dog. The First Baptist Church of Mac >n cele brated its twenty-first anniversary last night. The Dalton Citizen says the wheat and oat crops throughout Whitfield and adjoining counties were never more promising at this season of the year. The acreage sown in these important cereals is unusually large, aud without some unforeseen accident th.e crops of each will be unprecedentedly heavy. As a very favorable indication, the same paper notices that the acreage in corn the present year promises to be much larger than any year since the war, while more goneral improvements every way are going on in the country. Mr. William Robbs, an aged citizen of Walker county, is dead. The latest sensation in Atlanta is the stealing of a country girl by a Charleston drummor named King. He stole her near Flowery Branch, and carried her to Atlanta. A severe storm passed over Talbot county on Wednesday. The cereal crops of Walker county are ex ceedingly promising. Mrs. Ogden Clegg, of Columbus, is dead. The Atlanta Constitution says that “tho Athens papers do not seem to agree with the Savannah News in its estimate of Mr. Hill.” In what estimate of Mr. Hill ? The editors of the Constitution seem to have been bitten by some new kind of bug. The Mobnikg News has made no estimate of Mr. Hill. Mr. D. Greenfield, of Albany, boasts that he neve? reads tho newspapers. As this, therefore, is not likely to meet his eagle eye, we make bold to say that the first sylla ble of his name is siugularly appropriate and expressive. The Albany Xeics says the saw miils on the line of the Brunswick and Albany Rail road are nearly all in operation now, and the business is pretty good. Bishop Beckwith confirmed a class of four persons in Albany last Sunday. Thus the Jonesboro Xeics: “When the Atlanta Constitution promised to prove, the next morning, that the Savannah Nenvs was guilty of a penitentiary offense, and did not try to fulfill the promise, was it a violation of ‘newspaper ethics?’” Wadley Enterprise: We have two fine varie ties of fleas in Wadley, now known as the Little Black and Big Brindle.

The following shows wliat sort of hogs they raise in the fourteenth district of Worth county : Mr. T. J. Harris killed one hog weighing 537 pounds, Mr. William Johnson one of 417 pounds, Captain J. M. Rouse one of 400 pounds, W. W. Hall three, eighteen months old, 947, and one of eleven months old 210 pounds. Who says Worth county can’t raise its own bacon ? Dalton Citizen : A nice little game of “gr8b” is practiced illegally by the Clerk of the United States District Court at Atlanta, which we do not remember to have seen no ticed by the reporters of the city press. A witness or juryman is summoned to aban don his business and forthwith appear at the court, for which privilege he is forced to pay said Clerk for the issuiDg of the sub- pcena that takes him there. Time and mileage is certified to, and the witness pre sents his order for payment. This clerk pavs the bill, retaining twenty-five cents as his perquisites for stationery, etc. Friend Temples, of Spring Place, was down the other day as a witness, and upon being set tled with ou above terms, informed the clerk that he cared nothing for tweuty-five cents, but he protested against a thief pre suming upon his ignorance to steal that amount from him under the guise of au thority. Sccbe One fob the Ulsteb.—A neat little trick was recently played on a hotel keeper in New Haven. A stranger lost at throwing dice in a saloon, and the proprietor proposed, as he had no money, that he leave his Ulster coat as security. Instead cf the coat the stranger left his trowsers. He left the saloon, his high top boots and long Ulster concealing the loss of his trowsers, and engaged a room in a hotel for the night In the morning he complained to the landlord that his trowsers, with twenty doUars in the pockets, had been stolen from his room during the night. The landlord, anxious to preserve the good name of his house, immediately bought the swindler a new pair of trowsers, replaced the money supposed to have been lost, and sent him on his way rejoicing.—New Haven Pal ladium.

District Attorney Dyer, e'x-Senatof Hen derson, Colonel Broadhead aud others, will be summoned by the committee to testify regarding Babcock’s abstraction of official papers. Kil bourn will succumb. His investigation will cover grants and purchases of property from members ot the pool. Secretary Bel knap, Judge McArthur, of the Supremo District Court, and ex-Congressman Ei- dridge are involved. Secretary Boutweli, during his adminis tration, ordered a subordinate to balance a discrepancy of $2,000,000 found ou the books. A half million was expended for the benefit of the mail contractor on a long and comparatively useless mail line in Mon tana during Creswell's administration.

Notwithstanding the apparent hetero doxy of such an extensive averment, we hazard the opinion that there is no real unalloyed pain in this mundane sphere. The experience of some indi viduals would seem to warrant a different conclusion, but it would be founded clearly upon their own inherent impetu osity. The impossibility of reconciling dissimilar properties is neither acknowl edged nor denied, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the question we raise in this instance.

Marsh, of Il linois, Caleb’s brother, is here with a view to Caleb’s return to Washington. ({uestiou ol Issuing Silver Fractional Currency. [Special to- the Cincinnati Commercial.] There is now on hand in the United States Treasury only enough fractional currency to meet the ordinary demand of one week. There are about one and one- quarter million dollars in half dollars, about one million in quarter dollars, and less than a quarter of a million dollars in ten-cent notes. Treasurer New has been dealing out fractional currency as spar ingly as practicable lately, in order to make the limited supply hold out until some action shall be taken by Congress providing eitlier for the resumption of the printing of these fractional notes or for the issue of silver. Secretary Bristow declines to as sume the responsibility of paying out sil ver coin, of which there is now on haud f ully twelve million dollars’ worth. The bill reported from the Appropriation Com mittee last week, and on which an early action by the House is to be urged, ap propriates money for printing legal ten der notes, omitting entirely the fractional currency, but it contaius a clause direct ing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay out silver coin iu redeeming mutilated fractional currency. Some members of Congress are reluctant to pass a bill or dering this experiment with silver, pre ferring to let well enough alone, especial ly as the law of 1875 gives authority to the Secretary to do so if he sees fit. The bill of the Appropriations Committee will, however, receive favorable action in Congress. There is an evident purpose to try the experiment with silver, at least as far as the supply will meet the demand, and even further in view of the fact that the government can afford to go into market and buy silver with greenbacks, thereby saving not only the percentage of the difference between the prices of sil ver and greenbacks, but also the cost of making paper fractional currency. Treas urer New estimates that the bulk of frac tional paper currency is redeemed every eight mouths. Silver coin is worth less than government paper money, and does not have to be redeemed. A young Irish clergyman, at the first wedding he ever had, thought it a very good time to impress upon the couple before him the solemnity of the act. “I hope Dennis,” he said to the coachman, with his license in his hand, “you have well considered this solemn step in life.’’ I hope so, your riverence,” answered Dennis. “It’s a very important step you are taking, Mary,” said the minister. “Y’es, sir, I know' it is,” replied Mary, whimpering. “Perhaps we had better wait a while.” “Perhaps we had, your riverence,’’ chimed in Dennis. The min ister, hardly expecting such a personal application of his exhortation, and seeing the marriage fee vanishing before his eyes, betook himself to a more cheerful aspect of the situation, and said, “Yes, of course, it’s solemn and important, you know, but it’s a very happy time, after all, when the people love each other. Shall we go on with the service? “Yes, your riverence,” they both replied, and they were soon made one in the bonds of matrimony: and that young minister is now very careful now he introduces the solemn view of marriage to timid couples. Just How It Is.—The United States Senate, with its Republican majority, af ter several years of discussion, has finally rejected the claims of Piachback to a seat in that body on the ground, deliber ately stated, that the pretended Legisla ture which went through the formality of electing him w r as a fraud. Now, if this Legislature was a fraud, it is plain that Kellogg’s pretence to be Governor of Louisiana is equally fraudu lent; yet, on two different occasions. President Grant, without any authority of law, has used the army of the United States to keep this dishonest usurper in power, despite the electors of the State, who twice rejected him at the polls. In other words, according to the decis ion of the Republican Senate, Grant has twice unlawfully created revolution in Louisiana in order to keep a set of no torious public plunderers in posts where they could continue to prey upon an out raged and impoverished State. If Grant had been Emperor, as his fnend Holden, of North Carolina, desired that he should be, could he more despotically have tram- pled upon the rights of the people ?— N. T. Sun. A Pigmy Gbaveyabd in Coffee.—An ancient graveyard of vast .proportions has been found in Coffee county. It is sim ilar to those found in White county and other places in Middle Tennessee, but is yastly more extensive, and shows that the race of pigmies who once inhabited this country were very numerous. The same peculiarities of position observed in the White county graves are found in these. The writer of the letter says: “Some con siderable excitement and curiosity took place a few days since near Hillsboro, Coffee county, on James Brown’s farm. A Timn was plowing in a field which had been cultivated many years, and plowed up a man’s skull and other bones. After making further examination, they found that there was about six acres in the graveyard. They were buried in a sitting or standing position. The bones show that they were a dwarf tribe of people, about three feet high. It is estimated that there were about 75,000 or 100,000 buried there. This shows that this country was inhabited hundreds of years ago.”—Woodbury (Tenn.) Press. James Buchanan lived and died a bach elor.

Your demise may bring misery and woe to the grief-stricken hearts of those you love, but otherwise your bosom friend would be cruelly de prived of the opportunity of concocting an elaborate and iulsome obituary. Even ' despotism is amusement for the despots, no matter what the sufferings of the sub jects may be. Ecstasy may be extracted from the bitterest ordeals through which mankind is doomed to pass, by an inflexi ble adherence to this simple rule. The future compiler of didactic litera ture will probably mould a portion of his data into a story similar to the fol lowing for the enlightenment of posterity: During the nineteenth century the pro vince of Florida was oppressed by an in human breed of wretches, who, upon the return of justice to her throne, were all hanged for their misdeeds. The usurpers consisted of Radical carpet-baggers and scalawags. The former was a thief who robbed strangers, the latter was a villain who stole from peo pie who should have been his ac quaintances. Such vulgar rascals consti tuted the rulers of the inhabitants. From the Governor down everything appertain ing to this grinding, pittiless despotism was reeking with corruption. The judic iary were notoriously puppets, and as one evidence of the manner in which they ex pounded law and protected their accom plices in the most diabolical system of swindling ’the world has ever seen, we will cite one instance. A debtor who is a Radical endeavors to defraud a creditor who is not, out of a considerable sum of money. The Radical is surreptitiously removing his property, and the creditor sues out a writ of attachment which is granted and the levy made. Tho Radical robber then secures a return of the goods hold by replevying and furnishing a bond wnich is not worth the paper it is written on, the sureties be ing merely dummies and worthless, but which the J«dge approves unhesitatingly. A judgment against the Radical is ob tained in the course of time, but he smiles derisively and invites his creditor to find some visible property. It is all invariably invisible and so are th9 securities on the bond. These tricks were played so often that some of the judges suddenly grew into a pompous aiHuenee, and these things took place in the reigns of Stearns, Reed and Iiart, three land pirates who roved through Florida at one time.One of the judges was designated as Randall,and another as Archibald. In this twentieth century there are no carpet-baggers or scalawags for the race has been killed out THE INCENDIABY S TOBCH. Precisely at elevt n o’clock on the night of the 14 th an al irm of fire was given from the Sea View Hotel, on West Bay street, and in less than twenty-five minutes the flimes had eaten up their prey, consisting of the boarding house and a dwelling in the adjoining lot;’ The guests of the Sea View numbered prob ably fifteen, who all made good their escape from the burning premises, with the exception of a young girl named Ella May Knowles, who, as the flames shot luridly up, appeared at a window in the third story, and without much ado jumped out, striking a tree in her descent, and sustaining serious injuries. The boarders lo t pretty much all of their personal effects, and presented a suggestive appearance in the half-clad style of their get up by jthe glaring light. The Sea View was owned by Frank Reed, of Providence, R. I., and insured for four thousand dollars, as far as ascertained. The dwelling was the prop erty of Mr. E. Barrs and uninsured. The loss in buildings and personal property will approximate fifteen thousand dollars. The fire is supposed to have originated in some shavings under the boarding house, and was indisputably caused by design. The fire engines arrived upon the scene too late to accomplish anything, owing to the inflammable material out ot which the structure was built. The dismissal of a negro servant in Florida is getting to be thought an ample apology for arson, and it surpasseth human comprehension that these cases always remain uninquir- ed into. FIEEMKN S ANNUAL PABADE. The fire department on the occasion of their annual procession on Tuesday, were watched by eager aud admiring eyes, and crowds of citizens lined the streets along the route. The engines were beautifully burnished up and ornamented by wreaths of evergreen and a perfect carnival of roses. The Mechanics, though not as at tractively uniformed as the others, claim that they are ever ready for work. The Phoenix and the JEtna engines and men were the objects of universal attention and eulogistic criticism. The hook and ladder company and the hose carriages were not behind either in the parade or in any other respect. Altogether the turnout was highly creditable to the fire men. Mr. Wm. Baya was announced as Chief for the ensuing year, and acknowl edged the honor conferred upon him in a few choice and apposite words. The Mechanics, we think, were the only com pany that indulged in any after ceremo nies, which they did in a sumptuous luncheon at Metropolitan Hall in the eve ning. The affair was conducted in an entirely proper and orderly manner. STILL AT THEIB TBICKS. The lights of the Radical sanhedrim have been moving about suspiciously lately, and various conjectures as to their intentions are constantly arising. Stearns swears that he will quit the State, aud let the law and a decent Legislature take its course with its allies, if they do not sustain him against John Tyler, Jr.’s chances. The parasites of Stearns are 1 infamous for duplicity, and they are fawning upon Tyler and Stearns at the same time, so as to be prepared for the favorable wind. They would be worse than blind did they close their eyes to the prospects for the nomination of Tyler. It is understood that a great many office- seekers have interviewed Tyler, since it has become evident that the Radicals must run him for Governor, and thus early have put in their applications for appointments. They are greatly disap pointed because Tyler would not commit A ROMANCE OF THE DESERT. An Arrest, a Marriage, Domestic Happi ness, and a 31 order. [From the San Francisco Chronicle.] About twenty-five years ago a com pany of young men started out from Damascus for Jerusalem. They had not gone far before a band of armed horse men surrounded them, and the leader said the cara^n might move on if they would deliver up a young man named Randall. The terms were acceded to. and his companions last saw him mounted on a fine horse, attended by the gay horsemen of the Bedouin Sheik of the Le Avish tribe. He was taken to the Sheik's tent, and to his surprise found a magnifi cent entertainment awaiting him. What does it all mean ?

The contractors, it is understood, will use an improved lamp for streets and furnish the necessary illumination from naptha. They claim that they are able to supply a light superior to that which we have been enjoying at the hands of the gas com pany, and, at any rate, it would be hardiy possible to discover a- worse. It is about as brilliant as a solar eclipse, and the moon looks like a blazing star when compared with one of our lamp-posts. A MUNIFICENT DONATION. The Episcopalian Church, now in process of construction in this city, was made the recipient this week of a princely contri bution of five thousand dollars from Mr. William Astor, of New York, in addition to a former gift from him of five hundred dollars. In consequence of Mr. Astor’s liberality, together with subscriptions from other sources, the temple will be pushed, forward to immediate completion’, and will be when finished a handsome church edifice, an ornament to the city, a credit to the congregation, a compliment to its pastor, and a standing monument to the gener osity of those who so materially aided iu its erection. Mr. Astor departs for Sa vannah by this evening’s train. HE is GONE.

As we intimated before, the projectors of the city improvement known as water works, are apt to meet with an impedi ment in the shape of some wharf-rat who desires to dispose of a decayed antedilu - vian charter at an extortionate figure. There is no predicting how many of these cadets there are, aud they may be as nu merous as Radical crimes. Adbianus. THE NEW INNOVATION. Sampson, the saffron Justice of Jackson ville, is unlike his biblical namesake in dealing out justice with the jaw-bone of an animal. Sampy is also a member of the school board, but that is nothing to his credit. He is an interesting study for auy one whose olfactory sensibilities have been sufficiently deadened to permit of a near approach to liim. On Tuesday Officer Rushing was engaged in come work on a street. A crowd of idle dar kies were sauntering around watching for a chance to steal, but concluded to con-' gregate about the policeman and interrupt the work. The officer is impressed with the notion tfiat if order is necessary in the milky way, it i3 not less so in a town, and one Henry Jackson became so tired of the quietude that he began to abuse the guardian, and added injury to insult by jerking a club from his hand. The officer, in a remarkably brief space of time recovered his baton, and upon further resistance he cracked Henry Jackson over the head. Officer Rushing came before Sampson on the complaint of the disturber and waiving an examination, was placed under bonds for six hundred dollars, jin another cause before Sampson this week, the prosecu tor was intimidated by being required to enter into a recognizance for his appear ance. Not the defendant, bnt the com plainant. Suing the State. The Atlanta Constitution informs us that a writ of mandamus has been served on State Treasurer Renfroe, requiring him to pay warrants to the amount of about fourteen thousand dollars, drawn some years ago in. favor of Henry G. Cole, but piyment of which was subse quently forbidden by the General As sembly. After the lease of the State Road had been effected the then Governor, Bullock, appointed an Auditing Board to audit all claims against the road out standing and unpaid. When this Board allowed a claim the Governor issued a warrant upon the State Treasurer for the amount of the {ward. * Cole went be fore the Board and was awarded $7,345 on a claim for work i^one on an embankment or culvert at Altoona in 1856, and $6,914 on a judg ment obtained by Cole, for this work, in Fulton Superior Court Bullock immedi ately issued the warrants, but for some reason—probably because there was no money iu the Treasury—they were not paid. When the Democratic Legislature aseembled in 1871 tho report that a great many fraudulent claims had been allowed caused the Legislature to appoint a com mittee to investigate the matter. This committee reported that Cole’s claims were bogus, and the General Assembly by resolutions, approved August 24th and August 26th, 1872, respectively, directed the State Treasurer not to recognize the warrants which had been issued for their payment. This, we believe, is a brief and correct history of the transaction to which the Constitution refers. The executor of Cole seeks to enforce payment of the warrants by serving a mandamus upon the State Treasurer. The warrants were presented to Treasurer Angier, Jones and Renfroe, and were re jected by all of them in obedience to the command of the General Assembly. The Constitution intimates that the State will “undoubtedly defend the writ and en deavor to show cause why these war rants should not be paid.” It appears to us that the resolutions prohibiting the Treasurer from paying the warrants make the best and only de fense necessary to be made. These resolutions haye the force aud effect of law, and we fail to see how a Judge of the Superior Court can compel the State Treasurer to do that which it is manifest ly illegal for him to do. According to the Code the writ of mandamus lies only against an officer to compel the faithful performance of official duties. The offi cial duties of the State Treasurer are pre scribed by law. The law expressly de clares that the State Treasurer shall not pay the warrants, based upon an illegal claim, issued in favor of Jdenry G. Cole, and no State Judge can make him violate the law of the State. It seems to tts that this proceed ing against the Treasurer is substantially a suit against the State and the State can not be sued. But it is brought under that section of the code which allows tbe writ to lie against all the officers of the State except the Governor. The warrants constitute a claim against the State and this claim the State has refused to pay. If the mandamus should be granted the State will be compelled to pay a debt the validity of which she re fuses to recognize.—Augusta Chronicle. man and Arzalia are married. There was no escape for him. His tent was guarded by night, and his person watched by day, lest he should escape, and this guard was kept over him for years. He and Arzalia, however, seemed happy; children were born to them, and their domestic life was marked by kindness, courtesy, and true affection. Randall rapidly acquired the Arabic language, his wife as rapidly mastered the English. Their children were taught in both. He is an American by birth. When he was admitted to the Sheik’s family they had to receive his re ligion as well as his person. Through him his wife became a Christian; the father-in-law became a patron of his son- in-law’s faith, and the surrounding tribes became favorable to the new religion. But a Dervish, a zealot of the Moham medan faith, for a long time endeavored to have Randall’s sons thrown out of the employ of the Turkish Goyernment, and failing in this, turned his assault upon the daughter of the foreigner, charging her with witchcraft and apostacy from the true faith. She was brought before the Meglis, composed of one hundred and fourteen venerable Sheiks and Offendis, to answer charges which involved her life. She, although but fourteen years of age, made a defense worthy an apostle; and the unanimous verdict was in her favor. The chiefs of the tribes pledged each other to defend all Christians who thought and felt as Rosa did. The trial was in October, 1872. In June, 1873, while Rosa was teaching a class of little girls in a grove, the Dervish stealthily ap proaehed, murdered the maid and fled.

I From the New York Evening Post, Republican. The fall of a public officer like Belknap is scarcely more discouraging to those persons who are hoping for an improve ment in the administration of our gov ernment than is the reading of a debate like that which occurred in the United States Senate last Thursday. Mr. Gor don, a Democratic Senator from Georgia, offered a resolution setting forth the ex istence of “frequent enormous frauds” committed by distillers and government officers, and directing the Finance Coni mittee of the Senate to inquire into the defects of the present system of collect ing the revenue and especially— “First—Whether it be advisable to so amend the laws as to levy the whisky tax directly upon the capacity of the fer menting tubs and require it to be col lected in advance: and “Second—To cieate a corps of excise to hold office indefinitely, removable only for incapacity or malfeasance office.” The speech with which Mr. Gordon accompanied this resolution was an able one, setting forth plainly the losses which the country has to bear under the present system, by which the collection of internal revenue is placed in the hands of politicians—like Joyce and McDonald showing how England is able to collect faithfully a much heavier tax than this country imposes, and urging the im portance of the subject in view of the corruption in public affairs which is daily exposed. It ought to bo natural to suppose that the resolution was passed at once. The evils of our revenue service certainly need no demonstration iu these days, and it was a very simple matter to in struct a regular committee to see if there is any remedy for them. But tho United States Senate of to-day contains a Morton ; and no sooner had Mr. Gor don, who was a Confederate general, taken his seat, than Morton began a re ply with these words: “Mr. President, it is said that civil war is generally followed by a period of de moralization to a greater or less degree. I suppose there is something in that; and, in that case, the responsibility comes back to those who made the civil war. With this as a basis he went on with a rabid partisan address, which included quotations from one of the violent speeches of Robert Tqgpbs, against which the Georgia Legislature had enter ed its protest. He was joined by Mr. Sherman, who ought to be found in bet ter company, but who criticised Mr. Gor don’s speech as partisan, defended “the wisdom of the present law,” and de nounced the English laws as “oppressive to the last degree against the whisky dealer.” Then Mr. Edmunds, who had voted against Pinchback, and who was understood to be glad of an opportunity to show that he had not escaped from the party lines, “rose to repeal the idea that at any time or in any place the people of the North or the Republican party in this chamber or in any other have in any man ner stirred up sectional animosities or hostilities, have in any manner assaulted the constitutional rights of any State or any part of its people”—as if this would save any money to the Treasury. One of the pitiable features of such a debate is the utter inability of men like Sherman and Edmunds—we expect noth ing of Morton—to understand that the time has passed when it will suffice to ex cuse the failures of the Republican party by reference to its services in the war: that the people, who are suffering under a weight of present ills, demand the ap plication of practical, remedies, and not panegyrics on achievements of tie past. What does a taxpayer of to-day care whether or not the existing corruption which is calling down on the nation the scorn of the rest of the world can be traced back to the war as an original cause and thus be attributed to the authors of the rebellion ? If it can be, was not Mr. Gordon, the ex-rebel, worthy of all the more praise for seeking a reform of this corruption ? The cor ruption is an admitted fact—admitted in the courts even by the counsel who were defending the secretary of a Republican President—and it is discouraging enough to find Senators like Sherman and Ed munds blinding their eyes to the necessi ties of the day in their eager desire to prevent a political opponent from obtain ing any credit for his good intentions. In a letter from Senator Gordon, which lies before us, he says : “Corruption will attend upon and satu rate our revenue service so long as men are appointed to the responsible positions of revenue collectors, Ac., because of their political influence and ability to control votes. I apply this to all parties. The question is not who is responsible for the frauds and corruptions, but how we are to render their future occurrence impossible. How are we to do this un less we make the officers superior to the contingencies of party successes ? What else can explain the purity of the Eng lish system and the corruption so com mon in ours ?” There can be no doubt of the correct ness of this view. But platforms and campaign promises will not produce the reform. We have had enough of these. What is needed is the election to the high est offices of men able enough and honest enough and brave enough to raise the ad ministration of our government in all its branches out of the mire of personal am bition and partisan selfishness into which it l:as sunk. In the words of the resolu tions of the Union League Club, v,hich the country is so generally commending, the leader of the people must be known as a reformer by hia works. The Cincinnati Southern Railroad. [From the Nashville American.] As was anticipated, the election in Cin cinnati yesterday resulted in the voting of $6,000,000 additional subscription to complete the Cincinnati Southern Rail road through Kentucky aud this State to Chattanooga. So large a subscription by a single city to a single line of railway at this time, is a gratifying manifestation of confidence in the future, and may be hailed as a harbinger of better days coming. The portion of Tennessee that will be opened up by this line, is at present almost out of the world. It is a section rich in iron, coal and other valuable minerals, and is admirably adapted to sheep raising and fruit cul ture. Cincinnati’s present object is a direct line to the rich cotton States, but in course of time a large local traffic will grow up, and the line be dotted with mines and furnaces, factories and farms. Wo subjoin a statement of the present condition of the work of building the road, made by H. V. Redfield, of the Cincinnati Commercial, who recently traveled over the entire line. He pre dicts, it will be noticed, that the road will be in running order to the Tennessee line before the year closes : I understand that the work from Lex ington, Ky., to the Ohio is about ninety per cent. done. I did not pass over this division further than Georgetown, and should say that that part of it was about ninety per cent. done, although I did not look at it closely, as another party is to pass over the eighty miles to the Ohio river, for the Commercial. Of the work from LexingtOD to Somerset I should say that it was from seventy to seventy-five per cent, done, and from Somerset to the Tennessee valley from seventy to eighty per cent. done. You will observe in following my de scription through, that xerj nearly all the heavy work is done. That which remains is comparatively light. The contractors are getting through with their work very rapidly now, as they have laborers in abundance (owing to so many contrac tors having completed their work and dis charged their force). The weather has also been exceptionally good. If the six millions are voted the cars can be run ning into Tennessee before the end of the year. At least I see nothing to hinder. The work is now at that stage when it can be completed very rapidly. Will six millions do it ? I firmly be lieve that it will, after having passed over the line and seen what the ten millions have accomplished. Besides, it is a re markable fact that all the work that has been completed since Engineer Lovett’i last estimate (upon which the call for $6,000,000 was made] has been done for a figure under that estimate. This is something worth making a note of. At tho Kentucky river bridge Mr. T. W. Coolidge handed me some figures bearing directly on the subject. Since Mr. Lovett’s estimate three sections have been completed on that division, and every one of them at a cost under the estimate upon which the $6,000,000 call was based. Thus, the three sections were estimated, in Lovett's estimate re ferred to, at a cost of $21,524 29. When the work was completed the other day. the actual cost was found to be $20,022 39 coming under the estimate $1,501 92. Auother point bearing od this subject Mr. Cummings, a heavy contractor, hav ing some twelve or fifteen miles of the road below Somerset, which he is rapidly completing, told me that he was satisfied that the rest of the work could be done within Mr. Lovett's estimate; that he would be willing to take any part of it at that estimate, or all of it if he could. Such evidence as we have from these facts ought to convince most anybody that the $6,000,000 will complete the road just as promised by the Trustees. That every particle of work that has been returned since the estimate has come un der the estimate, is pretty good evidence that the estimate will cover th6 case. I was ten days on the road from tho Tennessee Valley to Nicholasville. camped with it, as it were. I saw it; I passed through the tunnels, or the most of them, and through the deep cuts, and looked down from the high embankments, and into the chasms and streams that are to be spanned by iron viaducts. I am not an engineer, and what little common sense I may have on the subject is not embarrassed by too much learning. The road is a mighty undertaking In gaing over it, I am only surprised that the ten millions have accomplished so much. And the work is all good. The masonry is a marvel of stability aud beauty. It will last through the ages. This road has more tunnels upon it than any road of its length in the w'orld. It has a higher pier bridge than any road in the world. It has more iron viaducts, and higher ones, than any railroad of its length in the world. And it cresses more large streams than any railroad of its length in the world. What think you of that ? If complet ed, it will be a monument to Cincinnati forever. But we don’t care so much about the monument, if it pays. Will it pay? Well, we cannot see ahead. I do not indulge in the very rosy expectations of some on this score. It may drag a few years, but in time it certainly will pay. 2^8*13>aUs. Postponed City Harslial’sSale.

The Vie Parisienne, which keeps us informed cf the very latest fashion in tunic-apron, mentions two innovations, the account of which we translate ns fol lows : “The English are well known for their affected niceties—often useless and awk ward—in whatever pertains to the art of dining. “They are responsible for the citetom of changing not only the convert but also the napkin with each courso. Their latest whim is to present to the guests the menu of the dinner by suspending the list, printed on vellum, upon the neck of little statuettes placed before each guest. The good taste of this fashion is ques tionable, for these statuettes are the fac simile of infirm, poor, abject, ragged beings. It can please only through love of violent contrast, for these figures are utterly shocking in the midst of the fairy like elegance which rules at the tables of great English houses. “The other innovation is of American origin. It is a process of eating oranges elegantly. “The orange is to be held in the left hand in a very small and very pretty fringed napkin, used exclusively for this purpose. With a pearl-handlid knife in the right hand an incision is made in the orange at the point where the fruit is de tached from the stem, and the heart is entirely removed, leaving an opening large enough to introduce a small gold spoon. With this spoon is taken out from the orange its delicious juice and pulp, which is thus held and eaten in its own peel. “The delicacy and akill required in this operation are considered marks of fine breeding.” The French writer might have added that in the orange growing parts of this country another equally good way of eat ing oranges at table is common. A fork is inserted in the peeled orange at the point where it was joined to the stem, and the succulent parts of the fruit are eaten with a small spoon, leaving the core and the tough membranes which divide the fruit into layers upon the fork. The advantages of Loth these methods of eat ing oranges are obvious. In neither case are the tough and unwholesome parts of the fruit swallowed, as they must be if the orange is eaten in the ordinary way. wam, ihe esuie 0’ Augustus Bonaud.
