1 The editor of the RcpuUicnn says that when
ho issued the first number of Ida paper, fifteen
years ago, Amerieus was iu its infancy, being u
more village, containing a population of less
than five hundred. To-dny, she numbers over
that many thousands. Then there was but
one business house in the place. To-day there
aro over one hundred - all doing a good busi
ness.
Contracts for the building of tho Georgia Air
Lino Railroad, for the first twenty miles, has
been already let out. This will bring into mar
ket the resources of a portion of Cherokee Geor
gia, heretofore shut out from market, only as
alfooted by wagon transportation, which must
greatly enhance tho price of lands in that sec
tion of the country, and add much to tho pro
duce market of Atlanta, from whence it will ra
diate to every portion of Georgia.
The Macon TCcijynpk reads the present Legis
lature a salutary and sensible lesson on the ridic
ulous and expensive practivo of reconsidering
every bill of any importance that is disposed of
on the day previous, without regard to parlia
mentary law, and to the Merlons waste of tho
time and money ef^the ^ountri*. Tho Tel*jrnph
must recollect, though, that wo have entered up
on a new era in government, and that the old
fogy notions of such journalistr. as ourselves
were long since obsolete. »
Jildgo Morrill has dismissed the jurors sum
moned to servo ut the present term of the Su
perior Court for Mupeogi c, upon the ground that
there was no law ol‘ force in the State under
which a jury could be drawn to try civil or
criminal cases, lie held that tho uct passed last
summer, requiring the fall courts Io be. held
with jurors drawn in the spring, had expired by
ils own limitation, and as tho Legislature has
passed no other law, there wau nothing left for
him to do but to suspend lmsintjta.
The report of the Superintendent of the Lu
natic Asylum, Dr. T. F. Grocij, shows the fol
lowing facts: Amount expended to maintain the
institution for the year endiijg October, 1888,
$77,055 79; aggregate number of patients during
the year, 489; pay patients, 31; partial pay, 19;
pauper patients, 439; idiots, 70; epileptics, 52;
lunatics, 387. At present there aro in tho insti
tution, male patients, 208; female, 181. The
contemplated repairs as deemed necessary by
the Superintendent calls for $31,000.
The call for a meeting of the members of tho
Georgia Masonic Life Insurance Company at
Macon on the Stli, of March, to make important
changes in tho by laws, has created some inquiry.
The Savunuah X ir* states that it learns from u
reliablo source that the proposed chango refers
to tho payment of the amount of policies where
they are made payable to the widow and children
of a deceased member. The present by-law
not being explicit on tbo subject, payment have
been delayed on account of it, and it is now de
sired that some provision bo made to overcome
this obstacle.
Tho (hrovlcle sots down the bonded debt of
Augusta, now running and past duo nnd unpaid,
at $1,137,500. The city even now has assets
more than sufficient, if sold at anything like a
reasonable price, to meet all its liabilities, be
sides the large annual revenue derived from mu
nicipal taxation. Thefpreseut Council has made
arrangements, tho Chronicle believes, to provide
for tho payment of all bonds post duo and un
paid, and, by an economical administration and
judicious management, will soon have tho city’s
finances thoroughly straightened and ready to
meet tho bonds now running when they arrive
at maturity.
We learn from a Macon paper that the annual

held on the 31st ult, has been declared; also a
dividend of 2 per cent on-tlio consolidated stock
of the Muscogee Raiiroad Company, payable on
and after the 17th inst The U. S. revenue tax
will bo paid by tho Company.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Company,
recently organized in Macon, has applied to the
Legislature for an amendment to their charter,
to make it impemth e upon them to deposit in
good securities, $100,000 with the Comptroller
General of the State, or with some strong cor
poration, for tho better security of policy liold-
ors. The authorized capital is $2,000,000, and
the guaranteed capital is $500,000. Four hun
dred thousand dollars of the stock is already

Decision in Regard to the Income Tax Law.
Wo learn from the Chicago Post tho following
facts relative to tho above stated decision:
“In the case of tho United States against
William E. Frost, indictment for a false income
return for 1888, the jury have returned a verdict
of not guilty. It appeared that Mr. Frost’s
return for that year showed an income of about .
$10,000. The Government claimed that there • "'here these gouts stnyed just twenty hours,

Tho case turned on a law point. Judge Drum- r 11 ‘* ^ *~
mond decided that a man was not bound to
return as income debts or promises to pay, but
was only required to return tho gains, profits,
or income, of his business, actually received.—
He thought that it would be unreasonable on
tlio part of the Government to require a man to
pay a tax on a promise to pay or a mere debt,
when neither might be collected, especially as
the party would buvo no recourse upon the
Government to recover the amount so paid. —
Tho court instructed the jury that they would
be justified in finding the party not guilty, under
the opinion which he hud intimated, although
he desired to so qualify it as to state th.it if a
person had a note or un account due him, and
he neglected to collect it when it matured,
their prwsrns, from the very robbers whoso acts
they whitewashed into decency. —X. Y. World.

Death or the Oldest Mason. —The Erie Dis
patch states that Joseph Metcalf, who died in
that city a few days ago, at the ago of ninety
four, was tho oldest Mason in tho United Stater.
It says:
Mr. Metcalf was born in Massachusetts, but
early iu life removed to Vormont, in which State
the prime of his life was spent—removing to
this city about twenty years ago. His mind was
clear and bright to tlio last, and his recollection
of tho past was exceedingly vivid. His remin
iscences extended buck to the days of Shaw’s
rebellion, in 1794, and had all the freshness of
a narrative of yesterday. His venerable figure
will bo missed from the meetings of the sachems
of Masonry, where, as among the extensive cir
cle of his acquaintances, he was held in tlie high
est esteem.
The Presidential Vote.—It appears that a
slight misapprehension has occurred respecting
tho formality of counting tho Presidential vote.
The Washington National Republcan says:
“After th6 vote is counted the tollers wait up
on the President aud Vice-President, and inform
them of the result. Those gentlemen simply
signify thoir ueoeptauce in a written statement
to that effect, without signature, which is report
ed by tho tellers and entered upon the Journal,
where it becomes part of the record. The
President holds no certificate or commission of
any kind, nnd has no other recorded evidence of
his right to hold office than this,”
