not missing, to the fact that the public scums to
have no knowledge of them, and lam but too

It was honest old Ben Franklin, we believe,
who, us an experiment, followed up a small ac
count ho paid to a tradesman. In a very little*
while he ascertained that the money paid tlio
trmlosinan had passed from hand to hand un
til the number of bills ol nearly similar amount
ttled with it reached some fifteen or twenty,
v not be possible to do as Franklin did,
up tho history of a small amount of money
in the way of debt-paying: but it may bo set
down us a fact that the prompt payment of
small debts is the initiative step towards paving
cash for every tiling. Generally speaking, these
small debts are due to persons who need all tit©
[ lit to capital they can command. Io such, they
are of immense importance, and it may be suid
of the person who allows those trilling obliga
tions to remain unpaid while having the means
to discharge them, he is not, in the true sense of
the word an honest man, unless, by express con
tract-, a time for payment has been fixed, and
that not arrived. Pay your small debts und
big ones too. If you would be happy and com
fortable, sleep sound, eat heartily, and enjoy tho
peace of mind which only men with good con
science are supposed to enjoy, pay your small
debts.

I' Tlio Boston Journal miys there was some

The Cincinnati Gazette is responsible for the
editorial statement tliat Gen. Grant remarked,
while cn route from Chicago to Washington,
that “he feared the carpet-baggers would swamp
tho Government before he could take possession
of the White House.”
An old man named Michael Soden, living in
New Albany, Indiana, died from hemorrhage re

It is known that the amnesty proclamation
will be in one direction the return of General
John (’. Breckinridge to Kentucky. That
gentleman, however, had intended next summer
a return which will take place in March. He
will, it is said, remain entirely iu private life.
The Washington Republican says Attorney
General Evarts has not yet considered what
effect the new proclamation will have upon the
motion now pending in the Supreme Court to
squash the indictment in the ease of Jeff. Davis.
There seems to havo been some doubt whether
it does or does not relievo tho Court from the
necessity of disposing of this motion.
A New York correspondent states that Chief
Justice Chase, in conversation with reference to
the effect of the President’s amnesty proclama
tion on Jeff’. Davis’ ease, he intimated that the
country had probably heard tho last of that case,
but that if Davis would consult liis own self-rc-
spect, he would spend the rest of his days with
his friends in England.
A few Radical papers declare that by his late
amnesty proclamation, the President puts him
self in contempt of tho fourteenth constitutional
amendment, and in the same breath they declare
that the proclamation in no wise affects the
amendment! Now, will they oblige the public
by informing it which of these two positions
they intend sticking to ? They certainly cannot
hold to both.
Old Brownlow is out in favor of the separation
of East Tennessee from the other divisions of
the State. Ho says the people of that section
“are ready to go empty-handed,” and assume
“ their proportion of the Stale debt." If the
Governor speaks for tho people, as he assumes
to do, East Tennessee may “go at once, and
stand not ou tho order of her going." So says
the Nashville Union.
Tho Louisville Courier-Journal suggests that as
“ Fort Lafayette, which is better known as the
‘American Bastile,’ has been destroyed, tho key
of it should be sent to Mount Vernon to be hung
up by tho side of the key of the French Bastile,
which was sent to Washington by Lafayette,
who little thought when ho did it that a fort
would be named in honor of him only to bo de
graded to the level of the Bastile.
The Richmond Whig says that it has reason
to know that influences are now at work iu Vir
ginia looking to tho desirable end of a return to
peace and amity, and (that tho intellects aud
tho purest characters of this State are now sori-
ously devoting themselves to the preparation
and organization of measures designed to end
strife, and to satisfy any rational demand that
can be mode upon us.
It is positively denied by a Paris journal that
the ex-Queen Isabella carried off the crown jew
els when she crossed the Pyrenees. According
to the Memorial Diplomatique, her Majesty,
who has just purchased a magnificent hotel
in the avenue of the lloi de Romo for a sum
of 1,700,000 francs, has for her entire for
tune but 33,000,000 reals, about $3,000,000 in

which wus lodged in the Bank of EDglaud.

I'l e frontier settlers will attend to that in time,

not be embarrassed or controlled by a Bureau

In reply to your several inquiries, I state as
follows: In my judgment the laws of the State
arc faithfully and impartially administered—:
much, if not more so than for a number of y
past. I know of no resistance to tho law,
gauized or unorganized; the officers of the law
being as faithful as at any prior time during my
residence iu the iState, which has been since
the veal- 1848.

lions of friendship aud good feeling between tho
two moos has greatly increased since the work
of reconstruction has been accomplished, and
both blacks and whites, us a general thing, feel
tlmt the welfare of the two races require the’ cul
tivation of kiinllv feelings and the promotion of
their mutual and material interests.
It was to bo expected that violent party spir
it would exist between the two political parties.
That always 1ms been, and will lie, when great
political questions are to bn settled. But now,
that the Presidential election is over, the Demo
crats so far as 1 know, feel an increased assur
ance in the purposes of the President elect, aud

It would be difficult to estimate the evils which

The people are just beginning to turn their at

Gossir .about Upper Georgia, Etc.—Major
Burns, late Comptroller General and now Sena
tor from the Floyd District, was in rtur office on
Monday. The Major brings a good report from
Floyd. * He says it is teeming with abundance,
and even’ interest of the country is looking up.
Land is in demand at twenty to forty dollars per
acre. Immigration is coining in rapidly. Rome
now numbers six thousand people, and wo spec
ulated us to tho probability that she would, in a
few years, be tho largest interior town in Georgia.
Corn was ho abundant thul. at distances from the
railroads it had been selling ok low ns thirty
cents a bushel. Coal was worth, by retail,
twenty-five cents per bushel. Money was quite
plenty and trado brisk. The railways had put
the city in cheap and easy communication with
tho vast coal and iron deposits of that region,
and they were looking forward to beginning
shortly ii kind of Southern Pittsburg.
Speaking of the approaching session of the
Legislature, Mr. Burns was of opinion that it
would simply pass a resolution, disavowing any
purpose to violate the Reconstruction acts, or
run counter to the Reconstruction policy of
Congross, and proposing to submit the eligibility
question to judicial arbitrament, and then ad
journ, leaving Congress to provido for the suc
cession, if it desires to do so.—Macon Telegraph.

Words of Truth.—In his speech yesterday,

within the last thirty days cotton plantation
acres have risen throe hundred per cent in val

as they never rejoiced in in tho old slave timea.

lamation clearing the dungeons everywhere of
political prisoners. The step is confidently ex
pected by the Presidents friends.
