Bibb Con wry Orphan Housji.—We
call tlie attention, not only of the ladies
of Macon, hut of all the bonevolently dis
posed, to tbe communication, os well
as the card of thanks, of Mr. A. L.
Maxwell, found in our local columu. A
great many of the ladies of this city who
were the original members of the Asso
ciation have forfeited that membership by
non payment of the annual sum ($5)
pledged for the purpose of sustaining it,
and the support of the Institution, for two
years past, has fallen almost entirely upon
a few. This is not right, and we do hope
that a liberal and spontaneous answer to
this appeal will be made. Our people have
many drafts upon their charity, we know,
but none more deserving than this. Let
the poor orphans be fed Mnd clothed, at all
events.

THE COMING PEACE.
“Troops,” says Grant, heading the pack.
“The troops ou the plains are all needed
troops are still needed in the Southern
states.” “Troops,” says Sherman. The
Indians must be reservationed, and
this “desired result cau only be ob
tained by co-operation.” “Troops,” says
Brv’t Maj. Gen. Davis from Alaska,
and dwells on "the needlessness of a civil
government for the Territory at present.”
“Troops,” says Brv’t Maj. Gen. Ord, from
Arizona; “an increase of force, with a
view to mere energetic operations against
the Apaches—the worst of all Indiaus—is
recommended by the division comman
der, who speaks highly of the agricultural
capacity of the Territory .” Ah Ihe does (
does he? “Troops,” says Thomas, from
Department of the Cumberland; “no im
provement lu the state of publioand social
affairs,” and “the necessity for the pres
ence of troops is as great as heretofore.”
“Troops,” says Btonemau, from Virginia;
but then, for a wonder, he wants no more,
finding “two regiments of infantry and
one company of artillery” quite sufficient
for the birth-piece and tomb of Washing
ton. “Troops,” cries Meade, from the con
solidated Second and Third Military Dis
tricts; “more power” I want my mili
tary Huger iu the civil pie. “Troops,”
says Reynolds, from Texas, who found it
necessary for reconstruction purposes "to
withdraw troops from the frontier posts
‘to such an extent as to impair their effi
ciency for protection against the In
dians.’ ” Os course, perish the settlers, so
that reconstruction live.
“Troops, troops, troops,” almost every
man-jack among them is crying from
Let us-have-peace down, all save Brev’t.
Maj. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem, who writes:
The civil courts have continued “to dis
pense justice, uuder the supervision of
the military authorities, and there has
been no necessity for the we of the troops
stationed in the State /” This State is
Mississippi ; Mississippi is not recon
structed, neither reconstructing, and,
therefore, has no use for troops.
This is the bright exception. Every
where else, says the New York World,
there comes up a roar for soldiery. Grant
heads it and Secretary Schofield claps his
hemi-demi semiquaver to its trail. There
is “unusual disposition to lawlessness and
crime and inefficiency of civil government
in those States,” says he—those recon
structed States; those successfully recon
structed States—and “the only laws of
Congress providing for the employment of
the military force of the United States in
support of the government of any State
were passed in the infancy of the repub
lic”—for a wonder, he didn’t get it nation
—“with a jealous care to avoid undue in
terference by the national government in
Btate affairs, and not designed for such a
condition of society as now exists in the
Southern States, ” All of which means
“troops,” and so the song, which began
with “troops, troops, troops,” winds up
with “troops, tooops, troops.”
And this is “Let us have peace.”

THE SOUTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE.
Albany, Ga., Dec. 16,1868.
The South Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met
in this city this morning at 9 o’clock. The
Presbyterian Church had been kindly ten
dered to the Methodist body, and it is now
in daily session in that neat and beautiful
little temple.
Bishop Pierce presides iu the Confer
ence-Bishop Paine’s health being so fee
ble that he felt, it best to return to his
home in Mississippi, after holding hie
Conference in Griffin. Bishop Pierce
having returned from his Western tour of
Conferences, it was convenient for him to
attend and preside, and he does so at
Bishop Paine’s request. The Bishop ex
plained these facts to the Conference, and
made a timely and suitable address to the
Conference, upon the duties they had as
sembled to discharge. He addressed him
self particularly to the necessity of main
taining discipline, both iu the Conference
and in the Church at large, and of consis
tent and constan devotion to the work of
making and keeping the Church pure.
The Rev. J. Blakely Smith was re-elect
ed Secretary, with Revs. H. D. Moore and
I. T. Hopkins, Assistants.
The following lay delegates to the Con
ference answered to their names:
Rev. Win. H. Hollingshead, Dr. Wm. I.
Green, Dr. Henry Wimberly, J. S. More
man, R. J. Redding, J. B. Smith and E. J.
Birch.
When the roll was called, it was an
nounced that for two years not a single
member of this Conference had died ; and
this was made the occasion of special
thanksgiving, in which the venerable Dr.
Pierce, now in his 84th year, but still in
full possession of his wonderful powers,
led in prayer.
The usual business committees of clergy
men and laymen were appointed to pre
pare work for the Conference.
Reports were read from the Publishing
House at Nashville ; and from the Secre
taries of the Domestic and Foreign Boards
of Missions, etc., and referred to the proper
committees.
A communication was received from the
Baptist Church of Alba iy, offering the use
of their house of worship and other Chris*
tian courtesies to tbe Conference, which
wiil be suitably acknowledged before the
session closes.
Charles Julian Tooie, Herbert P. Myers,
Lowndes J. Darcy, Charles E. Brown,
James Spence, Hastings Puckett, James
T. Johnson, Alexander P. Wrigbt, Daniel
G. Pope, were admitted on trial in tbe
Conference.
The Conference was addressed by A. H.
Bedford, Book Agent, in the interests of
the various publications of the Church, at
Nashville, and of the Publishing House.
He represents that he has received very
general support from the Church in his
work—considering the prostrate fortunes
of the country. The debts of the house
are being reduced—some $38,000 bavlng
been paid in two yer.rs, while the stock of
the concern is greatly Improved. He
hopes and expects to report the Publish
ing House out of debt by the General
Conference of 1870.
After various announcements tbe Con
ference adjourned.
Cash ok tub Counterfeiters.— This
case has been again postponed for a hear
ing, at the instance of W. G. Dickson, U.
H. Marshal, until Friday morning next,
at 10 o'clock.
Frank McAnany, one of the couple ar
rested, has turned State’s evidence, and
will appear as witn.es* in the case.
Marshal Dickson left last evening for
Savaauab, to advise with District Attor
ney Fitch, in regard to tbe case.

INDEED!
COMING* BACK.
The last issue of the Lancaster (South
Carolina) Ledger has the following sat
isfactory paragraph. Surely there must
be a taint of iusauity in the blood of the
men who emigrated to Tennessee, even
from Radical-cursed South Carolina :
Two of our eitizens, who emigrated to Tennes
see last fall, returned this week with their families
and personal effects. We are pleased to learn that
several others, who had cast their lots in Missouri
uud Florida, are homeward bound.
- Friends, all, and everywhere, stay at
home! This is your country, won for
you by the blood, and toil, and sacrifices
of heroic ancestors, and to be redeemed at
last—if you will ouljr wait and work with
faith and patience—to a richer prosperity,
and a more glorious renown than ever.
Let not your place iu the picture be filled
by the stranger and alien ; by men who
have no interest in the land, further than
what it will put into their pockets ; who,
as they neither know of, nor care for its
traditions and wealth of social memories,
cannot ever be counted as its sons, in the
noblest and fullest sense of the terms.
Let those come, who may. There is room
and welcome for all. Your duty is to stay.
Therein lies the secret of your past power,
and the sign under which you will one
day win it all back.
The Radical paper published at Augus
ta, commenting upon the report that Caleb
Cushing had been sent to Spain by Presi
dent Johnson, with a view to our acquisi-
tion of Cuba, states some of its objections
as follows:
Slavery now exists in that island, and as the in
stitution is now forbidden by our National Consti
tution, it seems to us that Cuba will cost more than
it cau possibly benefit. We cannot afford to pur
chase the slaves of the island for the purpose of
making of them citizens and voters, and we arc not
able to see that it would be right to rob the owners
of their value by emancipation without compensa
tion.
Light breaks upon you, does it? Pity
it had not come before your party con
cluded to slay half a million of men, and
spend four thousaud millions of money to
make citizens and voters of the slaves of
the South ; and before it saw that it was
not only right, but God’s service to rob
their owners without compensation, and
then pin them to the ground with bayo
nets and set the slaves astride their necks.
WASHINGTON SPECIALS.
[Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Washington, Dec. 14.
There were at least a dozen bills intro
duced in the House to-day by the Southern
members, to remove the political disabili
ties from Southern men. The Reconstruc
tion Committee intend to delay the action
at present on them and then bring in a
general bill covering all of tbe cases re
ferred to them. The disposition for am
nesty is quite liberal.
Leading Conservatives in Virginia pro
pose to accept, with a protest, negro suf
frage as a fixed fact, and abandon all oppo
sition to it, but to oppose the iron dad dis
franchising oath of the new Constitution
of that State. This course, it is believed,
will secure a large colored vote for the
Conservatives. An address embodying
these views will shortly be issued.
A statement freely prevails to-day that
Reverdy Johnson writes that, as soon as
the protocol is agreed upon for the settle
ment of the Alabama claims, lie will re
turn to this country to expiaiu its features
and urge ts adoption by the Senate.
Four Constitutional amendments were
introduced in the House to-day on the
suffrage question and referred to the Judi
ciary Committee, which is indisposed to
touch the question at piesent.
[Specials to tin; N. Y. Herald, 14th. J
THE HOLIDAY RECESS.
The President of the Senate, B. F.
Wade, and the Speaker of the House, Mr.
Colfax, with their wives, will leave here
as soon as Congress adjourns for the jecess
for Troy, N. Y., where they will speild the
holidays. The general Impression is that
the Senate will agree to the House resolu
tion for a recess of two weeks.
THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF THE INDIAN
BUREAU TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
This subject is creating much excite
ment just now and considerable bitterness
of feeling exists between army officers and
the civil branch of the government, grow
ing out of some of the speeches made in
bo.h the Senate and the House. What
the bill actually provides seems not to be
generally understood, and I therefore send
you a copy of the bill. The civilian clerks
express great jealousy of the “encroach
ments,” as they are pleased to term it, of
the military branch upon the civil, and
predict that if this measure is carried at
tempts will be made to absorb other
bureaus in the War Department. As in*»
dicatiug the feeling among certain civil
ians, I may stale that Mr. Taffe, of Ne
braska, while a discussion was progressing
in the House on a proposition to refer
something to a certain committee for con
sideration, exclaimed, ironically. “Oh,
refer it to the War Department; that’s
where everything will have to go here
after, I suppose.’’ The remark of Mr.
Taffe reflects pretty fairly the expressed
opinions of many people here, who oppose
fiercely the restoration of Indian matters
to exclusive military control. It cannot
be denied that the scheme is condemned
by many able and influential men in the
Seuate, and some of them have not hesi
tated to declare that they do not intend to
be induced to legislate one way or tbe
other at the mere recommendation of Gen.
Grantor "any other man.” Mr. Morrill
was quite emphatic on the subject during
the discussion in tbe Seuate. This oppo
sition causes all the more discussion and
interest as the Garfield bill is looked upon
as a sort of test of Grant’s influence over
the upper braueh of Congress-
THE EFFECT OF SECRETARY M’OULLOCH’S
CIRCULAR ON THE NATIONAL BANKS.
National banks,other than those designa
ted as government depositories, arc grad
ually withdrawing the bouds deposited by
them with the Treasurer of the United
States as security for “public deposits.”
This is owing to the recent circular of in
structions from Secretary McCulloch di
recting collectors of internal revenue to
deposit their collectious with Assistant
Treasurers and the banks designated as
depositories. The decrease in the bonds
within the past week heretofore deposited
by the banks as security has been to the ex
tent of nearly $1,000,000.
THE CHARGES AGAINST JUDOE BUBTEED
The House Judiciary Comraitte?, to
which was referreil the charges made by
Governor Hmith, of Alabama, and others,
against Judge Busteod, has appointed
Messrs. Lawrence, ot Ohio; Churchill and
Eldridge a sub-committee to ivestigate the
charges. The sub committee has notified
Governor Smith, Judge Busteed, and other
parties interested, that they are now ready
to proceed with the investigation. Gov
ernor Smith has telegraphed tbe commit*
tee that he will be here this week, when
the investigation will probably oomrnence.
BUSINESS BEFORE THE RECONSTRUCTION
COMMITTEE.
The Committee on Reconstruction has
already a large amount of business before
it concerning the States of Georgia, Vlr*
glnia, Mississippi and Texas. It will not
formally outer upon an investigation of
the affairs of Georgia until after the Con
gressional recess.
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
The Committee on Elections, at the next
call of tbe Committee, which will proba
bly not take place uuttl after the holidays,
will report a hill providing that the elec
tions for Congress be rnude uniform ail
over the Uulted States, and held on the

A WOMAN’S WORE. j
We have now before us a copy of the i
Liberty Advocate, published in Liberty, {
Amite county, Mississippi, by Miss Piuey
Woods Forsythe. The Advocate was es-1
tabUahed many years ago by A. W. For- j
sythe, the present publisher, who, deem- j
ing rightly that no work that is honest;
cau be anything else than honorable, :
brought up his daughter in a knowledge
of ail connected with a printing house.
Lately his health and energy have failed
him, amt now his daughter, well repaying
the tuition given her, herself assumes the
direction of tbe paper, aud takes upon
herself the three-fold duties of manager of
the editorial, mechanical and business de
partments of the journal. This is an
instance unparalleled so far, we believe,
in the South, and we are glad to tel) of it.
HeitfHrr' what Miss Forsythe says for
herself in her salutatory:
In assuming the position of a publisher
of a newspaper I am emburrassed with the
apprehension that it may be asserted by
some of my friends that I am passing
beyond the legitimate sphere which con
ventionalism has assigned to my Bex ; but
being born and bred in a printing office,
and fronuueariy childhood having devoted
myself to the noble profession by engaging
practically in the work, making myself
fully conversant with all the details of tbe
business, knowing no other employment
by wblahm mako a livelihood for myself
and a support for my father in his enfee
bled and declining years, and scorning to
become an idler in these days of my coun
try’s dreadful need, I am emboldened to
take the position, and trust I will be able
to discharge the duties connected with it
to the profit aud satisfaction of the patrons
of the Advocate. — N. O. Orescent, 13 th.
A Sad Affair.-— lt was rumored on
our streets yesterday, that Dr. Wm. West,
in an altercation with Dr. George Patter
son, of Edgefield District, S. C., had lost
his life. The particulars of the difficulty
arising between tlieso gentlemen have not
Come knowledge, and we refrain
from speculation ih the matter. Dr. West
was in this city only a few days since—
Friday last—on the night of which he is
reported to have been killed. |Je leaves
a family of ten children, who nave with
in the last six weeks been called upon to
mourn the decease of a loved mother.
The widdwed mother of Dr. West, Mrs.
Starr, known in connection with the
Globe Hotel, of this city, and the Trout
House, of Atlanta, ante helium, is now
here, whither she had come in anticipa
tion of meeting her son, with a view of
taking charge of his bereaved family. To
her we tender our oondoleuce in this sad
